A Realistic Day in the Life of a Trucker *Stranded in 29 degree weather*

[@meowclaws4690]

Hey Alex. I am not your targeted audience but I am a teenage girl whose uncle is a truck driver based in LA. Before watching your videos I never knew much about trucking and after i see how different it is then other transporting jobs. I truly salut you and my uncle. I love watching you and your family❤ Without truckers America will stop moving

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. God bless all truck drivers!

You’re welcome and thank you.

[@Julianpenalopez]

Dude i love your truck simulator setup it is so realistic

[@mausisbestwaifu8376]

Im an 18 year old, graduated high school. I started watching your videos as a time killer like a year or two ago but it got me really interested in the industry. Ive seen trucks flip on highways, have people tell me not to go into this line of work, i see the hardships drivers go through but, it will never turn me away. Here very very soon im starting my first steps to get my class A license. This is a very dangerous job but that will never steer me away. Thank you

Thank you for doing this for us so we can have food in our houses and thank you for your hard work we appreciate it be safe out there

Dad did it for over 50 years and I’ve been doing it for over 6. I enjoy it so thank you. Be safe

[@michellehernandez1499]

I’m not a trucker nor know anyone who is but I love your videos and how positive you are despite any challenges you face. May God keep watching over you & your family ❤

[@DoItDeWitt]

Hey! I’m DoIt, and now you got the best trucker friend! You’re welcome and enjoy.

[@albertomichaus8401]

as a mechanic replacing the DEF pump and hope to fix it is BAD specially when its over 1000 dollars totally agree with the second mechanic

[@emmanuelroldanjr2358]

Hey Alex , I’m in the hotshot business myself. I remember my truck kicked me in limp mode in St.Louis. Had to tow it back to Michigan. Got it “ Fixed” with dealer . A month later , again in Wisconsin. Was able it to creep it home . Next day it got a “weight loss “ 😂. Def totally sucks in all trucks

[@DoItDeWitt]

Yeah I agree, it’s hard out here for us sometimes. Glad you made it home safe and we’ll see you out here!

[@ricotheofficial]

Alex, don’t even realize you’re preparing those who want to be truckers for the pros and cons of truck driving. Thank you.

[@lokeijak]

I'm glad you showed the tough side of our job

[@itsmandodoe]

mechanic was hella high at 25 min look just like me in the am ahah

People need to see this stuff. Most folk have no clue as to how their produce gets to their neighbourhood

Been doing it for years, you’re welcome!

[@DoItDeWitt]

Yeah, these tractors suck. You’re only paying for the name.

[@aquariuslove8662]

@alexnino I never really until now appreciate your time and effort into showing us your days. Setting up camera views/angles. Insight at locations. Knowledge about the trucking world and the tricks to the industry.

[@marcoscalvillo7198]

Alejandro, great videos, bro enjoy them. I relate to them I drive a charter bus down in San Antonio, Texas for one of the universities. I travel to Louisiana and New Mexico at times i’ve had my shares. I’m bringing down on the side of the road 2 o’clock 3 o’clock in the mornin , bus full of kids trying to get back home Mechanic come out does the regeneration with the computer sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve had my share of hotels Safe travels keep pumping out the video, sir you have a beautiful family. May God bless you and your familia !! all the way from San Antonio

[@Mydogmindy]

Man, I am your biggest fan. I watch your videos every single day and even have it set as my alarm clock to wake up and I even subscribed to your channel. I am your biggest supporter my dream when I grow up is literally to be a truck driver, just like you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Skidmark0606]

YES, DEF, DPF, and EGR absolutely cripples truck engines. It pretty much suffocates the engine, that’s how you get cleaner emissions. Not because the exhaust is cleaner, but because it limits how much the engine can breathe. They breathe just enough to perform as they should but the moment you get caking and build up happening (and it will happen), it’s all over. It’s hypocritical that we’re all subjected to this but government vehicles from pick up trucks to semis don’t need to meet the same standards.

[@crusty041]

I use to live right but that place in Oakland! It’s crazy to see it in your vlogs. But you’re a trooper for driving around 👏🏼

[@DoItDeWitt]

Thanks, I always hated CA. Especially with my last company where that’s all I did. Lol hey, you’re welcome, someone has to do it.

[@armandosandoval2611]

That happened to me on a peterbilt too wouldn't let me go past 5mph went on limp mode, they had to hook a laptop to the ecu and do a forced regen that fixed the problem but also would be good to replace that filter as well

[@GeoffreyArrius]

Hey Alex, I usually never post anything in the comment section bbut that was an awesome video ! Really captivating even if it's a bad situation for you, thanks for sharing that with us

[@ApproachLimitedProductions]

Alex you made my night man 😊

[@albertblakemore4881]

Hey brother first I wanna say I love your videos and thank you for showing what happens while being a truck driver and I just wanted to also say that a lot of times when things happen like what happened with your truck acting up lot of times that is God protecting you from what is ahead up the road cause anything could happen just like when you’re car got broken into and you wasn’t there when it happened that was God protecting you just like you said it could have been you so yeah that is divine intervention so yeah keep acknowledging God like it says in proverbs 3:5-6 because he is definitely directing your path.

[@DoItDeWitt]

God is my saving grace and everything happens for a reason.

[@francosantoro1986]

Always check def. Or if you have an old truck you put it in neutral and shift to second and off you go😮😮😂😂

[@sally674]

Alex your mechanic is very nice and handsome. Take care of yourself.

[@LloydMarimoMuchemenye]

Mr Alex love your videos bro keep it up all the way from Africa Zimbabwe.

[@Sam_Salinas1]

Boutta start my first trucking job hauling commodities ca-tx-ok! Watching a lot of your videos on trucking life or even how to drive 13spd makes me feel way more confident! Was trying to get a job driving box truck right there with you but I don’t think Miguel had anything right now but maybe later down the line I’ll work with you brotha !

[@lauravelazquez5802]

At least you don’t complain as much as my drivers. If their day doesn’t go smooth they complain even though they are still getting paid for just sitting there 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello Alex! W trucking KZbinr right here!

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

Man I can feel your pain about DEF. Even pick-up trucks have them. Including field tractors.

[@DoItDeWitt]

Yeah this is true! That’s why if I ever buy my own tractor I’m buying a 2006 or a 2000 and older.

[@27twang]

even when he’s running late he still prioritizing the door closing shots 😂

[@DoItDeWitt]

This is why is real drivers put him in his place. But because I am the best and I’m feeling nice I’m letting him slide! But if you wanna see the best then come back to the best lol

[@DoItDeWitt]

@@probulbZ lol who are you to talk to a God that way? Check yourself before we do

[@metalrain300]

so it depends on the truck, some trucks regen while driving while others need to be parked and regened, judging by the truck not going over a certain rpm,. i believe it needs to be regened while parked, I had a truck that regened while driving and it was a terrifying experience. the truck throttles up the RPM's to burn that stuff out. that's from my experience though.

[@novasec]

I know exactly where you picked up those first two loads in this video. I didn’t work for that company but I worked for a different one that was working together and I had to help them with our system. These trucks aren’t meant to stay on the road like the old days. It’s a shame.

[@JesusGonzalez-kq5ov]

DEF might not be circulating/ clogged DEF tank happened to me once had full tank of DEF. Couldn’t go faster than 5mph with the same warning

[@harunbogdanic2077]

Alex, hope all is well. I see you guys have lost your operating authority? Hopefully it all works out!

[@FedericoBaffo]

Hi Alex, 🔥great video, super shots, I will definitely use them on my channel too💪🏻kk

[@wardirvng]

I had no idea it cost money to deliver, amazing!

[@BobDylan-xu9um]

I had the same issue in my freightliner a couple months ago. Wouldn't go out of limp mode and had to have the whole rig towed back. DEF system sucks ass

[@Zazabooey]

I have that same problem with my 08 honda. Does jerking movements at 20 miles. Won’t go up gears. Go check it out!

[@UsdaPrimeChoice]

its your def sensor nino, and your a little low on coolant. Same thing happened to me in my Kenworth also a Paccar mx13 my truck wouldnt go more than 5 mph. And i tried to regen it but it didnt work. No need to go to the dealer just get the sensor fixed and youll be good.

[@trkr19]

I’ve been truck driving for 6 years already and 5 years with my wife we team drive together

[@rlucerin28]

I've had the same issue on my peterbilt 586 and it was the oxygen sensor NOX just before the scr. I usually turned it off for a while and then it world run good again for a while but eventually the problem would persist.

[@futuretimer6]

Love your videos, god bless you man

[@Mlgradar713]

Def is a truck killer. It was giving me to many problems on my 2500. I deleted it and all the problems went away. No more reduced power mode

[@Majimo22021]

I wish you could do what they did to mine, a ghost delete, dpf and def is gone, needle is glued to 3/4 full and don’t tell a soul, constantly clean intake filter so it doesn’t roll coal Don’t remove egr tho cuz it’ll defeat the purpose of ghost delete, how it’s done is dpf filter is taken out, hollowed out and reinstalled Edit: we got a paccar, deleting will have lots of benefits, including better fuel economy, jakes will be ever so slightly louder but not too noticeable, 1600 rpm when they get loud

[@dustin6548]

last time i was in ca i got contaminated def and had to have the whole system replaced😥

[@deontegraham9559]

Nice video 📸

[@mikeyfoulke]

[@justforlaughs7635]

I'm 9 years old and I can drive a truck any truck but my favorite kenworth and Peter built my dream truck driving

[@nickschuster7618]

Its called derating and all truckers hate it. Used to work on them for about 6 years and aftertreatment issues are the number one cause of downtime for truckers these days.

[@nickschuster7618]

typically they are speed or power derates. For FL initial warning will derate to 55 then 20 then 5mph if the warning is ignored enough. With yours doing that apparently suddenly with a near full tank of def I wonder if you didnt get a bad thing of def. Bad def will trigger codes insanely fast due to people trying to just fill the tank with water.

[@nickschuster7618]

also, for future reference, as your tech said, do not let a roadside tech clear the codes. all codes have a verification procedure to clear themselves. clearing codes just prolongs troubleshooting because all the data logged by the computer is completely lost and cannot be found. this information is crucial to fast, efficient diagnosis to get you guys back on the road as fast as possible.

[@juliobello4561]

This would be my issue been truck driver. I’m already program to go work and after go home 😅. Getting stuck with broke down truck would be my nightmare
