[@TikiTheTrucker]

Thank you all so much for your support! I just wanted remind you guys that I'm not done making videos about being a rookie trucker, I just can't record while driving anymore. Also, regardless of the situation, I still believe Schneider is a great company to get your experience with. Please don't let this situation jeopardize your decision to join Schneider, as I believe they have great resources for you new drivers to learn the industry. There are also many million mile drivers that have been with the company for years, and have been nothing short of happy. Thank you all again, I appreciate you all! And just remember, you can't enjoy the good days without first going through the bad ones 🤘🏼

[@davidclark442]

That's understandable. It's how are legal system is . A truck hits a car truck fault automatically. Need to protect yourself and your family

[@briancarver2165]

Dude, it has less to do with him filming, than it has to do with his content. He did a lot of bone head things that would've gotten a veteran driver fired... he happened to film it all, then post it online. The company using the filming or distraction policy was just the easiest and quickest way to get him out. If he fights this legally (i.e. in court, and not on social media), he will be destroyed. This is less to do with his channel, and more to do with his incompetence.

While your figuring things out just be sure you don’t lump yourself and what you have done in with Bobby Reach. He is a great KZbinr and knows how to create interesting content that gets people fired up but he also put that first and foremost in front of Trucking. Let’s keep it real! His channel wasn’t about teaching newbies anything. His channel was designed to get views and creat controversy! By doing so his channel exploded. Now how he follows this short lived fame up will be interesting. I am betting Schneider would love for you to keep posting your videos especially after letting Bobby Reach go. After he damaged the companies reputation they need to repair the damage done and videos such as yours which are honest and helpful truly helps new drivers. I would go talk to someone at Schneider before getting rid of the channel. Keeping the channel is not disrespecting Bobby Reach.

@@DotWorld80 is there any correct English in that comment because it’s essentially incomprehensible?

[@robertsullivan3877]

Companies can fire you for almost any reason. I know, it's happened to me. A truckstop was over filled with trucks, I found a Walmart store and parked by three other trucks. Next morning, dispatch told me that the trucks cameras caught me at Walmart. Turns out company had a no walmart policy. I lost my job. Got a rental car and drove home. Next job laughed when I told them what I had been fired for. They hired me on the spot. Still happy today.

[@buddy1976]

Bobby posted videos saying he almost hit a parked truck , Bobby said it took him 45 minutes to park , also Bobby drove 800 miles for a week hell , from ga to Texas one way is 900 miles 😳 🤣🤣 , I think Bobby is looking for KZbin fans and not focused on Trucking

[@Tims929and1000rr]

Hey , I think there’s a way to continue:..keep your camera rolling . When you’re parked you add your voice and what was going on the video..in your sleeper or outside your truck..I think the issue is the commentary while “driving”…keep your chin up..as someone old enough to be your pop..and part of the “great resignation “ last spring..I’m about to leave orientation next week and get on the inter modal road..no good lesson is ever earned the easy way..keep charging and be NOT afraid..life’s a journey and not..NOT a destination 😎🚛🇺🇸

[@codegame027]

keep in mind a fixed mount facing through the windshield would be acceptable. You could do voiceover in post production. So you aren't "vlogging" while driving" in this equation. In content production that is called "b-roll" with an added voiceover. Also, you could still do "story telling" style vlogs. I think there is room to make content within those rules. Just think outside the box.

[@robkoons2100]

I agree videoing then doing the voice over would make as good if not better videos and keep you well within the guidelines .

[@mohamedsadik8210]

I agree with this idea, also it's good to mention in the video that the audio commentary is added post production, and not live, because there is some viewers who would call the company and complain that " the driver is talking to viewers while driving, blah blah " 😉

[@JohnHallgren]

@@robkoons2100 I could see using one of those voice recorder pens 🖊 to record some audio while driving as notes of what to discuss and then record voice over later. Very inconspicuous and no action needed as can record all day or voice triggered.

This is the solution

[@manofmayhem7774]

Get your experience and go to a small company local that PAYS BETTER because we know that Schneider doesn't pay what we as truckers deserve.

[@azcactusflower1]

Their game their rules, unfortunately, even if it's not fair. Schneider has always been very particular. Lawyers in court can twist things and Schneider is self-insured. I watched Bobby's video. One thing about trucking, it's highly regulated now. As a commercial driver since mid-80s, make sure anyone reading this and working for any company, protect your CDL *and* consider legal plans (type in google "CDL legal plan") protecting your driving record in the event you were treated unfairly by DOT or other infractions. Trucking is a whole different world and a lot falls on the drivers

[@kevinbrockenbough6610]

He deserved to be fired. He was filming himself while driving with a driver facing camera. Staring into the camera while driving down the highway. That's very unsafe and frankly stupid. If he were ever to get into a wreck the lawyers for whoever he wrecked into would use that video against him and Schneider and sue the shit out of them. Legally they had no choice, he was a huge liability.

[@flonkas]

facts

[@ramblingbill9101]

Golden rule: Don’t publish a video showing you making major mistakes and driving in a distracted manner. That is what Bobby Reach did. One video he mentioned he was wearing ear buds and listening to music during orientation and didn’t hear his name called out right away. I would have fired him for “distracted orientation and unprofessional behavior.” Common sense tells you orientation is part of the job interview. Also don’t have a smart ass attitude that he displayed in many videos.

[@wildyams]

@@TikiTheTrucker I drove for Schneider for years and I can tell you that they have an official policy, but unofficially will often look the other way on things. This is probably like most major companies. They don't want you to even be on a hands free Bluetooth headset talking on the phone, because officially if you're in an accident while doing so then someone could sue them if they're allowing their drivers to do that, because in court it could be construed as "distracted driving". So that's their official policy. But unofficially they know that every single person who drives for them will sometimes talk on the phone while driving, or eat while driving, or talk on their CB, or play with the radio or any number of other things that they officially deem "distracted driving". Some DBLs will call you out if you call them while driving and some won't, but it's just because it's company policy to do so. It's all about protecting their ass and their insurance bond. But unofficially they understand the realities of life on the road. Many DBLs were once drivers themselves. Where it puts your DBL or the company in a tough spot is if you put it out there for the world to see online or even if you confirm to them that you did something that's against company policy. If you do that then you put them in the position of either co-signing what you're doing or reprimanding you for doing it, and it'll always be the latter option. I really love your videos and hope you keep doing them, but just be aware that in addition to making entertaining content you're also providing a concrete record which can be used against you. As a professional driver you need to always be aware of how dangerous what you're doing is even under the best conditions. You could be involved in a serious or even fatal accident any day, even if it's 100% not your fault. If that ever happens, you better believe lawyers and investigators are going to pull your life apart to try to go after Schneider's deep pockets. So just be aware of that and keep that in mind for everything you're putting out there.

[@sherrydalton6516]

I’m so glad I found your channel and I love your content, but I’m so glad you made the decision not to film while driving anymore. It’s just so not worth it. You should always put yourself, your safety, your family & job first. You can still have a trucking vlog & just film during your downtime. Honestly, the stuff I enjoy most are things like OTR meal-prep, what you pack, how you decorate/fix up your bunk, trip-planning, what it’s like showering in truck stops, you showing us what all your pre-trip involves, etc. Anyway, I look forward to your next video and I wish you all the best!

I'll bet if you mount a camera in the truck to film your driving and then just do voiceover later they wouldn't have an issue with that. Just do that and film yourself when you're stopped.

I do not work for Schneider, and I DO NOT know their actual policies, but from what I have heard, and PLEASE correct me if this is incorrect, but I have heard that drivers are not even allowed to have a blue tooth device in the truck, AT ALL. Immediate termination if you are caught with one in your truck, Even if it belongs to an authorized passenger in the truck, STILL immediate dismissal. I have heard from many people, other truckers that I know or have met, and on KZbin, that Schneider is a MAJOR micromanager over their drivers, and often goes overboard with their safety platform. It has been said that you can never be too safe, but the truth is... YES, YOU CAN. I am NOT passing judgement on Schneider as a company, because I am NOT qualified to do so, having never worked for them. I am ONLY asking if what I heard is correct , AND warning all current and potential drivers of ANY company to be ware of ANY policies that may potentially effect you doing your job safely and effectively Unfortunately, WAY too many companies don't realize that there is a HUGE difference between policy and culture, and that BOTH will fail if there is even a minor conflict between the two, regardless of fault. Safety department may tell drivers to do one thing, and then dispatchers tell them to do another, and the driver is held responsible regardless of what they do... Generally speaking, here are four universal rules of following ANY policy of ANY company, even if YOU happen to own that company yourself: 1. Always Trust nobody. 2. Always get it in writing BEFORE you do it. 3. Always CYA (Cover Your A$$) any/every way you can. 4. Always Make sure any evidence you present to protect yourself can NOT also work against you.

You should not be vlogging while operating a 80 ton vehicle down the road at speeds that exceed 70+ mph . Either You're a - professional Tractor Trailer driver... Or - a Vlogger....

Time to leave Schneider. Why? Your Vlog is an extension of you. And if you can be fired for it? Time to go. They purposely use that language / verbiage so you can be fired at anytime for anything. You enjoy it. Why take that away from yourself? CFI (Riding with Dave) allows you to film, so does Cheeseman (Mid Life Trucker). Prime lets you film and drive. If your video caught a crime or helped Schneider in an accident investigation in any way, they would be asking you for it. You may owe Schneider some money for your CDL training…and it would be worth it. Time to go.

[@ridewithmerideshare_lv2039]

Thanks man... smart guy.... I bet though that the recording thing was just their grey area to let him go... but the Rock thing and his comments on the company are the real reason for his termination. I guarantee if you were the owner of schnieders, you too would let him go....in fact... I guarantee that Bobby would also fire someone doing the same... Safety First... Own it... Learn it... Live it.. P.s. I would have more respect for him now, If he made a video telling the truth and teaching others through his mistake, instead of playing victim... that would be a viral video, he could profit from..and would show he really does care and is not just out to become famous overnight. ALSO I'm sure if you get a hold of your managers, and tell them that you are promoting their company positively and constructive..they would let you keep recording... ex Riding with Dave... educational, yet politically correct

None of the things he did would of gotten him fired except for the fact he filmed them and did an amazing job at creating videos that made Schneider look like a fool for allowing him anywhere near there truck let alone as a driver.

But my point is he violated alot of common sense saftey stuff and alot of Schneider's policy knowingly, I work for Schnieder intermodal and they make it abundantly clear over and over and over so he cant act like he didn't know.

[@TikiTheTrucker]

I appreciate you, Keith. Thank you for the kind words!

[@robkoons2100]

I’m going to add my 2 cents in which is worth nothing but have to say it. Your content and Bobby content was completely different. Your videos were honest but respectful of the company you work for and you appear to have taken learning this industry seriously and have been able to vlog and drive exceptionally well. I’m not sure if Bobby was as much of a disaster as he showed himself to be in the videos but while it made exceptional content watching the disaster, almost like watching a train wreck in slow motion, it did not make him or Schneider look good. The primary thing it did was make Schneider drivers look clueless and at times dangerous. So while I can respect you changing the way you do things I do not believe that anything you have done has damaged either yourself or the company you work for. It has done quite the opposite it has put both of you in a very positive life. Bobby has some growing up to do. His keeping it real in reality is a mixed up mind set. There were very few that followed him that were surprised at his firing. Many of us can’t believe they allowed him in a truck if he is the way he comes off. It very could be his creative side that made him look bad in order to get followers I am not sure,. I’m sure he is a nice guy and extremely talented. And if he would of approached his videos differently I doubt we would be having this conversation.

Clutch Trucker also mentioned your Schneider guy who seems (to me based on his last video) much more concerned about his videos than his driving thus being fired.

[@robert9291]

As I've said, It's NEVER funny to see a man/woman lose his/her job, but this BS is HILARIOUS!!! The young Brother has personality and is looking for a way to market himself. Nothing wrong with that, but using a company, to do it, and going against their corporate policies is. Pretty sure ALL Mega Carriers have something similar, in their driver/contractor policies.

[@Moondoggy1970]

Let’s hear it tiki,your boy got axed man pretty crazy stuff.

[@Ryan_Stewart]

Go to CFI, They don't mind it

[@desiralhagger4034]

You're a natural true friend and your time is coming to shine Tiki, I will miss your vlogging on the road Brother. Stay safe,

[@onetime8854]

Much respect to you for coming out and standing by your friend. Your a good dude!

[@dalespringerwilson4233]

Sorry about your friend, Schneider I'm sure also told you about their electronics policy. If you piss somebody off, they will come after you with anything to separate you from the company. They are a good company, but they don't put up with any shenanigans. And just so you know, even a headset is considered being on the phone. Check the company policy they will explain it to you. And one of your previous videos I mentioned your training engineer not giving you much instruction, these are all things he should have gone over you with when he had you in his truck. And keep in mind any accident you have, depending on severity your phone records will be subpoenaed and if your phone was on and connected to anything other than music you're in deep crap. You will probably lose your CDL for at least a minimal amount of time and you will definitely lose your job. Don't chance it if you play by the rules you can have a great experience with Schneider and build into something bigger and better ! You seem like a solid person, like I told all my students or you make a decision about anything, and I do mean anything, relating to your job, that truck, think it through to a logical conclusion ! Good luck and remember the first two rules of trucking; 1. Don't hit anything. 2. DON'T HIT ANYTHING !

[@wavy9413]

@Tiki , did you know you got mentioned by JBG? It's in his new video

[@TikiTheTrucker]

I just saw! Thank you!

[@mischiefwolf8252]

Also Schneider can fire you for using your Bluetooth while you are driving so don't do that either also if I was you I would leave Schneider Trucking Company Schneider is going to lose a lot of drivers because they're going to start installing intoxilyzer in their trucks, Schneider Trucking is one of the worst Mega carrier semi driver in the whole Fleet I hope Schneider Trucking goes out of business I can't wait till they lose hundreds of thousands of employees by installing intoxilyzer their trucks I can't wait till I start seeing people logging and leaving Schneider after they installed also watches you while you're driving without you knowing it

[@blaak23]

They let him go because he exposed Schneider for paying drivers approximately 37% below the national average. My boy Bobby the emails are from Schneider people not some rondom dude in KZbin.

[@Carta87Blanca]

Bobby got Bobby fired

[@Diezel360]

I watched Bobby’s video earlier on this

[@silk2612]

Do what's best for you and your family brother. You can record while driving with like a dash cam and add commentary later. People just believe if you're concentrating and talking your mind is not on driving. If I was on Bluetooth while driving most peeps knew if I just stopped talking mid sentence on them meant that something happened that I needed to address on the driving end. Most the times was nothing, I didn't let peeps box me in and not give me options if something did happen, even if I had to slow down for a second to let them pass, what's a few minutes compared to a life. Keep safe driver!

[@hashtagChance]

Who do you use to edit your videos and create thumbnails?

[@TikiTheTrucker]

I edit all my own videos and create my own thumbnails. For video editing I use Adobe Premiere Pro and for my thumbnails I use Adobe Photoshop!

[@gabbagool7414]

Dude you have no dogs in this fight! they make those policies in lawyer speak or vague as they can to blanket all areas to protect them mostly. I drive a school bus and we have the same sort of electronics policy. You are t your job getting paid, no you're not in a office, but your are at your job getting paid. If you don't want to follow the rules, create your own business. Hey you do you, I don't care if you want to be a rebel and not follow the rules. That's your call! But don't get semantical on the policies and try to get all lawyer like and say...well they didn't say we couldn't have it strapped to my head, or they didn't say we couldn't have it suction cupped to the windshield or they didn't say we couldn't hold this way or that. Its created in a vague way to say in general don't use them. Over all you are using an electronic device. That's like people who claim they are Sovereign Citizens and when a cop pulls them over they tell the cop I'm not driving a car I'm operating a vessel....no you're not a vessel is used in maritime to describe anything larger the a sailboat..so no you're not operating vessel you driving a car.....anyway good luck with

[@TikiTheTrucker]

Definitely, I'm not arguing the policy at all. I was just explaining why I thought it was okay to do what I was doing. That's all. This is their company and I'm simply an employee, which is why I said on video I'm no longer vlogging while driving and will be following Schneider's policy from here on out. I appreciate the insight, I really do! Thank you, Brian.

[@gabbagool7414]

@Tiki yeah no Tiki I get u, hope I didn't sound any certain way. Trust me I had wanted do a vlog for school bus driving and sort of show how many ppl run my red lights when I pick up kids and othet crazy traffic stuff that I see all day long when I'm driving 5 days a week so I went to my employer to my and told him that I would blurr out any student's faces I wouldn't show the name of the school district I work for any of that kind of stuff but you know he pointed me to the electronic use policy so I feel you dude

[@hardstoner8095]

Tiki, what tell/video Bobby Reach fire for Schneider of stone/tire?!! For you famous? We all have stone, nail, and ice sheet roof accident. You is a snitch?

[@TikiTheTrucker]

Snitch on my friend to get my friend fired and take away vlogging from myself? That's a good guess, but no sorry. We don't snitch where I'm from, especially not on our own friends 🤘🏼

[@shondadiggins21]

I thought Schneider had changed their policy. If they were thinking they would see how this is good advertising for them but whatever. Good luck out there.

[@josegarcia3039]

Crazy you and Bobby were the reason why I’m starting with Schneider both of you had a big impact on my trucking journey .. I still think they let him go for exposing the low pay & he was exposing them of how long he had to wait to get his truck fixed .. but like you said just get all the experience you can mega carries are just a stepping stool

Schneider was always known for keeping their trucks longer then other carriers high miles is common with them.

Hey Tiki, I watched your video of the day you packed your bags and headed to meet your TE. The best thing you could do for yourself and your family is turn that truck in and be with your family. I've been trucking otr for 14 years and I'm afraid you are going to regret it. You seem like a great guy, don't miss the time watching your child grow up and trucking can destroy a marriage. Think about it, stay safe man.

What if you blogged at truck stops. Like you did here 🤔🤔 just an idea it’s not while driving I think is the key.

@Tiki. This same issue was presented on a different driver's channel 9 months ago. He discussed it after he was approached by Schneider.

[@charlescahng8452]

I'm absolutely not related with Schneider in any way but, not many guys seem to pick up the lesson here. The fact of the matter here is that Schneider just did what they have to do. I mean, they have to run the business, right? And the truth of the matter here is that Bobby screwed up himself because he is not so smart as he claims to be. Hopefully, he should change himself and be more humble instead being arrogant. That way, whatever he does, his life is going to be smoother. And never assume that life is so simple and easy, unfortunately.

[@blaak23]

Bobby reach didn’t screw up nothing Schneider was mad that he shared with us the weekly pay working 60 hours a week 600 dollars that sucks man..

[@jamesglass8268]

Don’t speak on him to get views get your own content

[@TikiTheTrucker]

I feel like you saw his name in the title of the video and commented without watching. He and I talk regularly, and I've made the decision to stop vlogging because of what happened.

[@dowjones9663]

I just went to watch his video. Sometimes you have to keep your mouth closed and work till you get enough experience to talk about those things. He didnt and he lost his job. That rock fiasco was a horrific accident waiting to happen! I hope the best for all of the bloggers on here, but he couldn't get out of his own way
