I started in 1986 when I was 21 and drove for 25 years and never had the desire to drive their slow anteater trucks but if they make you happy then rock on. I hope I did not offend y'all that was not my intentions, I am one of your followers and would like to chat with you and your co-driver just to keep up with how it is out there today

Have been watching ur vids for a while now and I really enjoy trucking vids from the US. Im a trucker myself from Finland ( Estonian nationality to be correct ) I am driving a 32 meter ( 104 feet 11 inches ) long truck. Well with 2 conteiners 40 each size and a total weight of 76 000 kg= 167 551 lb. But I would love to drive in the US. Love to roads and the trucks that have better living space. U both r awesome, keep up the good work !

Hello Dave and Billy Joe! I really enjoy your videos, I watch another CFI driver as well and he is also fairly new to this career and I find that both seem very satisfied with your career choices, and that you are both very honest with the good and the bad as well as VERY informative ,incisive, and educational. With that being said, I'm a single 57yr old who is thinking about a career change, I currently have been working in manufacturing for 30+yrs., and 30years ago I had a FL state class b, and drove a 32ft. Cabover Mitsubishi Fuso part time for a paint and hardware company for 2 and a half years there, I am interested in applying with a good company that offers the education as well to possibly start a career in this industry, I reside in the buckeye state. Any advice you can give me if you want would be appreciated if not that's ok, maybe you and Billy Joe just might run into each other sometime, looking into your links for the info, stay safe and keep on trucking !

You know i love it when drivers complain about some places they have to back into . This shows how inexperienced a driver is when they cant back into these places or have to pull up a dozen times . Dave i go to a place in a old busy town where they do the city's recycling, its in the worse place they could put it , very narrow street ( so narrow they didnt put dividing lines down the middle ) business district on one end of the road and houses on the next , these roads are still the same width from the horse and buggy days . Its either back in the narrow gate blind sided or go past turn down residential street just past the place then back across the road you were just on backing up hill with the trlr bumper almost scraping the pavement, then go back and back the gate from driver side . They ladies in the office said that One of our drivers got there and just told the customer and our company that they werent even goin to attempt it and left . Its a skill that not all drivers have being able to back in tight spots . To me the tighter the easier for me .
