[@Snipe06]

Been trucking for 2 months now. Got a grant from EDD that paid my entire CDL school. No restrictions. Got all my endorsements but passenger. And man oh man my only regret was not doing it a lot earlier. I got into a local mom and pop company flatbed and I’m loving it for experience. I get 30% of the load and averaging take home $1200-1350 weekly. Why didn’t anyone tell me I could make fukn bank just driving and quick 20 mins labor of strapping down from time to time to stay in shape. Sheeeeeet I’m never in my life going back to a regular ass fukn job! 🙏🏼 trokero locochon por vida!

[@itravel24]

How does the edd grant work ? How can i qualify ? I been studying the cdl book getting ready to test for my permit next week, i planned on going to a local school that runs 1500-1800 in my area then getting 6 months experience. But your way sounds real good!

Congratulations on your truck driving success and future endeavors. I remember seeing your video where you would show the weekly pay statements as an owner operator. I've been trucking since 2011 and just bought my first 2016 freightliner cascadia. Good for you that you are self employed at a young age and keep up the good WORK Peace on earth 2022.

I’m just trynna get like you so glad you’re putting out these videos I thank you for all the info keep up the hard work it is all gonna pay off well for you can’t wait to see it.

I’m glad the army is paying for me to get my CDL, I have experience driving big vehicles hauling tanks (round 205k lbs and up including truck and trailer) but I have no experience on the civilian side dealing with brokers and what not. Point is your channel is giving me an incite so I’m ready when I get out, thanks bro

Hell yeah good to see a bunch of people getting there cdl in the comments 👍🏾 keep trucking dudes

[@silversurfer5920]

Your story is very lifting dude, I appreciate it. Im your age but Im pretty gun shy on buying a truck and doing my own business. Im sketched out about the mechanics, I dont know anything about fixing truck problems and finding the right work without getting screwed over is another fear. I live on the other side of the country but container work is pretty popular for local owner ops here. I know the main way to level up my life would be buying a truck though. Many people have told me that I should be doing that instead. You've got amazing drive man that is an absolute gift, keep it up.

[@thenomadvogue7257]

I remember watching the collaboration you did with Rey I found that as my motivation to get my cdl I am now a truck driver in Dallas TX, I have been driving for 6 months and really regret not doing this years ago. I was in the collision and mechanic business for 10 years. I ain’t going back 🙏 keep posting your videos brother. Stay safe out there.

I've been a mechanic business for 14 years I'm burnt out, looking into getting my CDL any advice?

Thank J.Vetum for priceless information regarding your start/builds to accomplish your reachable goals. Some people don't understand what you must go through to get yours. This vid is inspirational, and thanks to you, I'm motivated even more to start my own Truck/Transpo business. Thank you again, please make more videos. :)

Bro this is motivating as hell. I recently graduated from cdl school and im currently riding with a trainer on his truck. and being honest its been alot harder than i expected. and ive been debating not going back alot of times.

[@jucci178]

Anything in specific that’s really challenging? Thinking about getting mine

[@user-um7cj3fq5r]

Stay at it! Trucking is a great industry! You can also stay local if you don’t like OTR!! Don’t give up on your goals!! The only way you’re gonna learn is EXPERIENCE!! Backing , being situationally aware , taking care of your truck, etc etc all comes with time! I had to make many sacrifices to get my cdl through my company and now I’m on track to make double what I did delivering boxes last year! Be confident in yourself, and listen to everything your trainer says! Let go of any bad habits he may show you and keep/ improve on the good one’s!!! I’m only on about 7-8 months experience and I’m still obsessed! I’ll have my own trucks one day soon! Blessings!

[@shiftautomotive854]

This is what I need to hear, honest experience from someone just like my age. Imma really get on this I’ve seen a lot of negative comments about trucking but you’re out here motivating young ppl like myself

I feel you bro I did carpentry for 4 years straight out of high school and I started getting depressed Bc I would think if that’s going to be my life but a friend encouraged me to get my CDL and tbh it’s way better driving then being out in the sun everyday. Just need to find a good company and you’ll be making more then carpenters

I'm in Australia so it's not CDL but I'm the same, ever since I was 19 I LOVED heavy machinery, trucks and excavation. This year I'm going all in, getting my truck licence and all the tickets, followed by excavation tickets. Aiming to get into dump trucks/construction. Maybe the mines later in life ✌️

I'm 24 now btw, 5 years of putting it off

[@phi2263]

Good job man just passed my cdl temp test hoping to get cdl b and do box truck loads otr. Just wanna say don’t be depressed about accomplishing goals ! People get the wrong idea about accomplishing goals. It’s not about making it to some high point it’s about being able to turn around and see everything you just did from a higher point of view then creating new goals to even get higher up . Don’t beat yourself up when it gets hard . Because if things are easy peazy your not pushing yourself or growing just staying the same . That’s not always bad but you get me right lol ?

[@mariobalbuena928]

J This Video was excellent!!! I Also follow Ken v and I respect that you guys did a colab. First of all . Thank you for the content you put out because you are giving out free information and your own personal expirience . That something you can't buy . your situation is unique . Keep pushing on your dream and just know I'm rooting for you . Second, Im from Connecticut and I grew up around bad influence and its rare that I find people with the same mindset . I have the same plan as to get into trucking industry and been owner operator.Its crazy how it is because when I express my goals to the circle I have they always tell me all the negative stuff that is involve on the industry . That is when I decided to stop talking about my goals and to just keep to myself and continuing my goals by my self. But people like you that express the whole process helps me stay motivated towards reaching those goals. Thank you. Lastly, I just recently made a year out of the system, I was locked up for 10 years at 20 years old. I took that time to grow and learn ways to get out of the hood and as of now my plan is in motion, I just got my CDL 2 months ago and I'm starting to work for the same company I was working in the warehouse for about 7 months. I believe this Opportunity is going to open a lot of doors and I want to thank you a lot for the motivation J. Its hard but Goals are not suppose to be easy at all..Great Video and never stop Making videos Brother.
