Cruising around the trucking terminal. Rookie Trucking Life.

[@RidingWithDave]

If you got the notification or saw the video uploaded briefly today, I took it down due to an editing fail that deleted 6 minutes of footage accidentally. I will upload that one another time.

[@ruk0r69]

oh i was wondering why it was private

[@srj263]

I was wondering as well. I had a whole paragraph written about DQ. Keep it up.

[@kenworthkid998]

Dave your king pin puller can fit behind your air farring on the back to the truck it will stay there.

[@johnchristopherson2957]

No worries. This video was entertaining. Can't wait to see the other one.

[@Teresa.T]

Ahhhhh 🥺 lol Will be watching for it, Dave 👍

[@dcwolfy]

Going through orientation with cfi currently, I was super surprised when they brought up your channel and talked about some of your videos! Super cool to hear man.

[@sharoncross5993]

That was awesome. He is a cool dude.

[@brandonhillgoth699]

Oh wow that’s incredible 😂😂😂

[@dcwolfy]

@@WhiteLineFever1999 I got my cdl before going to cfi. Orientation wasn’t too bad, just a lot of info in a short amount of time. We were done by noon on the 4th day, and due to a lack of trainers we were all sent home on layover pay. I’m in a truck with a trainer now, having a blast! I’m set to be home with my own truck the second week of February. Orientation is definitely not something to be nervous or scared about. Everyone there is super nice, you can ask as many questions as you like. They provide transportation to and from the hotel for you. Free breakfast at the hotel, free lunch during orientation.

[@dcwolfy]

@@WhiteLineFever1999 yeah, I had one a little over 3 years ago in September. It is definitely worth it man! They’re a great company. I’m glad I came here. We’ve only had one bad day so far, we got stuck in a lot on ice for two hours before some pulled us out so it kinda ruined that day.

[@devinbrown4454]

@@dcwolfy how old is too old to get your cdl and go otr? I’m 45.

[@michaelcummins8498]

I love how humble you are and how not afraid you are to show your growing pains in trucking. I been driving for years and your videos bring me back to when I first started. We've all been there... hang tough bro

[@JJ14Films]

Actually from you explaining how CFI saw your video with the bad load and called you PERSONALLY to see how they can fix the problem, that definitely shows that they are a good company. Right now I'm a delivery driver for FedEx and really want to be in the trucking business and I'm definitely going to think about CFI after this video. Plus I like that 12mo tuition thing they offer. Thanks Dave.

[@cadencarrithers2339]

"Alright lets back into this thing easy now" CLUNK

[@thelainslas8406]

Saw a CFI truck today here in Canada. First one I've seen here.

[@dadtrucking1540]

I heard CFI was a good company but I went with Heartland express because thier trucks are manual and don't have camera or radar in them. I was wearing my RWD sweatshirt at the Jacksonville terminal and about 5 other drivers there said they watch your channel to anyway keep up the good work and be safe!

[@Phuq_it]

Manual is awesome

[@chrislewis6488]

Manual?God forbid someone has to do some work

[@Take-A-Ride]

@@chrislewis6488 I think he meant Heartland’s trucks are manual and he preferred to drive a manual truck so thats why he chose them

[@juniperwinters3277]

This one was a fun video to watch for someone who is thinking about possibly working at CFI. Thank you!

[@julesdussault159]

To me I just enjoy watching you drive around some thing that I don’t do anymore enjoy the scenery enjoy the video having a great time with a cuppa tea relaxing and thanks again for the video

[@cooperschofield7119]

do like the behind the scenes type of stuff... and love the "relationship" you have with all the viewers LOL. great stuff man, Love the channel.

[@jessegago7163]

Does anyone else think that Dave talked to himself like this even before he started filming? :) Kidding. Keep up the good work.

[@Brandon-it7cq]

Dave is a hecking awesome and is an inspiration for all of us

[@truckerjohnbilly7706]

Yes Transport Americas main terminal is in Minneapolis Minnesota area

[@saxdudegcgt7217]

That's great that CFI appreciates your honesty and willing to work with you. That's very encouraging and nice hear people/companies helping their people.

[@WallyPDoyle111]

That was me with the face reveal comment. I was just being a smartass lol. I remember when you had like 2k subs and said you'd show your face at 100k. Look at you now my man! Almost 150k!!

[@stevenhenson2152]

I lost a lock once.The company was suppose to charge me 75.00 but the gentleman pushed the wrong buttons and they paid me the 75.00 instead of me paying it.

[@robocop308]

😂😂😂

[@LaughingBatGames]

watching you pull the fifth wheel release makes me just love my auto release. haha

[@Chris4mz]

Thanks for the terminal tour ! And yeah, bobtail speed bumps can require a helmet ..... thanks for keeping it real Dave !

[@stevenblack4035]

i start orientation at the end of the month. Never heard of CFI till your videos. Can't wait to start.

[@TheRevvedUpTech]

Lol "you will hear good from other drivers" when the last video i seen was the driver flipping out at CFI cause you didn't show up bobtail, but every company gots that guy.

[@tonytrumble]

I drove OTR from 1988 to 2009. It sure is refreshing to hear someone who's happy with their job! I know I loved being a paid tourist!! Up until I had a devastating accident in 09 which left me 100% disabled.

[@brandonthibault9577]

I found your truck videos like 4 days ago and think I watched most if not all of them while sitting my ass on vacation. I have a CDL B and deliver strictly Hazmat. Watching these makes me want to go back and just get my A.

[@marksowards6976]

I use to work for crst I left crst went to CFI i love it I don't see me going anywhere

[@castroislivingonearth]

Right now , I’m in my OTR training . And, I ended up getting sick. So, I’m stuck in a hotel until my “people “ pick me up. So... my points is thanks for the video . I needed this 👌. (Stay Safe Out There)

[@penarri]

i wish cfi was by me, you make it sound like an amazing understandable company

[@kenworthkid998]

They will pay for your cdl if you do company sponsored training they will bus and hotel you during training. Once your done with your finisher and get your own truck you just have to verify a place to park your truck near where you live

[@ceelos69]

@@kenworthkid998 i flew from nyc got my training at a trucking school and got my license.did my time with finisher.and did my one year solo otr.i didnt need to pay 5k because i stood one year.i left due to pandemic but i may drive for us govt very soon.i enjoyed my time there.i brought proof of passing road test in missouri and nyc gave me a class a cdl.

Loved this video. Loving this channel. You are making America great again. Dave, I have made your episodes my “must watch”. You are so humble and grass roots. Your authenticity is refreshing. Good bye political propaganda. Be safe. To your massive success, Craig ツ

That terminal still looks the same as it did back in '93.

I don't blame you on the cleaning. I do the same with my company truck as well.

My neighbor worked with CFI years ago. He loved being with them.

Dave, You are the Best, down to earth driver. I appreciate all of your time and commitment on your video's. Keep on TRUCKIN bro, we love you. From, CANADA You didn't wash your truck

[@timboslice3755]

Thanks for the tour

[@teripowers463]

I drove for Covenant Transport in Chattanooga, Tennessee the inspection bay that has garage to the right of the exit of the inspection bay the trailers are behind the service bay with the employee personal parking thats on a hill behind a fence the main terminal is like the White House with the row of trucks behind a fence the dispatch is like hidden behind a computer to send messages to drivers

[@DEXtr1p]

That’s trukin fer ya Dave!

[@5iFTYHFaviation_addict]

No company wants you sitting and not driving while sitting and not driving LOL. I don't know jack about CFI but Dave makes me like them

When I worked for them very dehumanizing.

Bonuses are sometimes hard to collect and if there is schooling it never does pay off its like buying a new car with the cash back that you will never see it that goes towards the salesmen for commission to earn bigger checks

[@automandan3066]

Love the channel mate

[@carolg3316]

Surprised no snow Dave looked kind of nice

[@bradleyhightower6849]

Hey dave I use to own a t680 .. you should request having the reverse creep mode setup on your truck .. makes backing up 100 times better without the jerking crap

[@TruckerAvocado]

Now this seems intriguing. I’m going to ask when I’m in Joplin because it’s legit zero to zoom nothing in between lol

[@muddyjon99]

Yeah work for CFI and you get there at 8 you have a 11 minutes to get ready and start washing trucks out as you got to do everything you got to make sure the fuel is good you got to clean the truck out and then you got to do a bunch of stuff so it's a really long fast and there's also terminal in Neosho Missouri cuz that's where I worked

[@edb2078]

i'm with ya company take care of the outside i take care of the in side.

[@kamidoken]

I'm here in Neosho at the school. I graduate with my license tomorrow!

Really enjoying your videos man. Keep on trucking brother

[@thomasbennett8179]

U should mount the gopro on the back of ur truck and show us how u hook up the trailer.

[@markward4787]

The one time I went to a truck wash was they actually a trailer Wash to pick up a load of potatoes out of Idaho

[@ralphralphin]

Those locks are good, but a crow bar will open ANY lock. trust me :) I looked and those locks are selling for 62 dollars on Amazon, so 50 bucks isnt bad for them. I assume the lock is the 330 lock as they make a few, the 350 lock on amazon is 125 bucks. That would really suck to have to replace something like that.

[@EXLDayzeSRS]

One thing I've learned in trucking is that some drivers are never happy. No matter what a company does, they find a reason to leave. Probably because they got into driving for the wrong reasons. I get that companies do some shady shit but alot of drivers are just childish and will leave at the slightest disagreement and end up in a company twice as bad as they try to justify their decision only to realize this later on.

[@FredyLagos]

I’m with you man, not paying out of my own pocket to wash a truck

[@alexstrand6097]

I have heard a bunch of good things about CFI from family and friends that have been OTR. I am currently going through CDL school and for me its between CFI for van and Roehl for flatbed.

[@jasontaylor162]

I want to see more of your videos keep the good work up

[@mrbuckever9485]

It's snowing in iowa

[@davisebbert]

At 15:23 would cleaning w/ alcohol (both cap and tank threads) help not get it stuck as much? Assuming maybe there's some built-up grime maybe... Or is it more hardware stuff that's the problem?

[@RobRealistic]

I don't understand how people say cfi is a bad company. I Work there for 3 years and I was a trainer. The only reason why I left was to spend time with my family. But other than that I would still be working there. As a matter of fact I may be coming back.

[@oneman723]

Wash the truck all the time treat it as it is yours company's love it when you keep the truck super clean and represent a clean company it helps spread there business some company's give you bonus for it

[@williamseahorn3446]

I know a coworker that got pulled over for going through a yellow and told him that he could ticket him for it. He gave him a warning. I think it depends on the officer.

what video is this Doodoo load?

[@Jamariosmith5]

Yess sir another video

[@hunterhardin3053]

I know you have said that CFI does not provide a CB but I was wanting to know how often you have used yours? I ask as to know if it is worth getting one.

[@ceelos69]

its worth getting one it can save your life or give you a heads up in bad situations

[@okwhatdidyoudo]

@@ceelos69 i agree...till you get stepped on by a home base CB by some dude sitting in his underwear

[@RidingWithDave]

I always have it on while traveling incase something is wrong with my truck or trailer and other drivers can warn me

[@PaulThomasHarris]

Are the locks keyed alike? Maybe that’s why they are expensive, plus at that cost you’ll be less likely to loose them.

[@joshadams2812]

Yeah i gotta say they do treat drivers right. Even when i quit they offered to pay to get me home. If they offered weekends off id go back. The home time was my only issue with them

[@johnbosco3794]

Handicapped trucker parking spot? That's awesome. I wonder how the dot physical goes for a handicapped person.

Misery loves company, Dave.. Fuckem when they talk negatively. You're doing a great job, you're very open with CFI, etc. That's why I keep coming back. If I could afford it, I'd go to CFI, just on your recommendations and praise. If you get a bonus, then BFD! None of our business, regardless.
