I have almost two years of trucking experience. I started LOCAL and plan to stay LOCAL.

[@KMcGhee-to5wi]

Not that many anymore, but there are a few of us who dont mind the road. We know we bring it closer for the local guys, but we just dont want to be confined. Let's work and stand together so that we all are good.

[@MilesWitShawn]

The road life is the more disciplined life too

[@user-uq6ql6yj5c]

I drove for 40 yrs and its easier to go from otr driving to local than local to otr especially for a new driver

[@B2Speaks]

Yep, sure is. That's why back in the day, you couldn't even think about going local without at least 1 yrs experience

[@Goldenswayzee]

Local Foodservice. 40-50 hours a week. Monday to Friday. Pretty easy for me at least. It’s something out there for all of us.

[@Blacktopcowboy]

Local driving is far from happy driving. It’s home daily yea, but you’ll probably still work 12-14 hours at most local gigs. And make 1200 on average maybe a little more maybe a little less. I’ve had 4 local jobs and they each had perks and each had high levels of stress and cons. I hate being gone doing regional, but sometimes the days are slower and easier vs the multiple stops or live unloads/driver unloads that local gigs bring. If it’s a 4 days week local gig it’s better, but some are 5-6 and there’s not much time left to live. Idk if there’s a perfect company for any gig really. Just who you can survive or tolerate til you can’t. My current local gig is 240 a day and I often work 14-16 hours a day and do multiple loads which often have multiple problems. It’s def burning me out

[@rdavian]

This comment here definitely speaks to the situation I'm in

[@user-to9em9ii2x]

I finally got what I was looking for. Pulling for Walmart dairy plant,hauling milk only for Walmart stores. Pulling preloaded Walmart trailers with multiple stops $20 per stop. Five days out two days home with possibility of spending the night at the house during the week. 90k+ servicing Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, southern Wisconsin, Illinois and southern Michigan. Easy money and home more often.

[@B2Speaks]

Yeah that's not bad at all! Good to hear from ya!

[@WhiteLineFever1999]

I worked local with a food service company but stayed for a year. then decided i wanted to go regional, but only lasted about 4 months and the pay was crap only running northeast and only pulling in 1,,700 miles on a good week. It wasn't good. decided to go back local and pay has been alot better now and i'm making $1,200 take home. but now working 13-14 hours a day and doing the same route. To be honest it really is getting old quick. and go Braves!!

[@BalwinderSingh-qf4nr]

If OTR doesn’t bring anything you will not have anything local to haul

[@neverobey1477]

Bro I'm working on getting tanker endorsements.im tired of this OTR bs.. just last night I almost got into some serious issues with another driver in el paso TX.. anyway keep doing your thing bro God bless

[@B2Speaks]

I appreciate you supporting the channel and be safe out there!

[@someoldguy109]

I was otr for around 5 year's. I love that I'm no more than 300 miles away from home now day's.

[@gmb609]

We appreciate the videos brudda 🤝

[@TheRealBWMcKay]

I appreciate your content my brother. Stay safe out there.

[@B2Speaks]

Thanks for the support, brother!

[@Tay.juhWoods]

Can’t wait to go local

[@B2Speaks]

How long do you stay out doing bulk?

[@Tay.juhWoods]

@@B2Speaks I’m home every weekend. Sometimes I’m home during the week for a 10 hour reset.

[@B2Speaks]

@@Tay.juhWoods yeah I know you tired of that!

[@crystalbishop5794]

My old man is OTR because he'd get bored driving local. It's not something he could handle to go to the same exact places every day or even every week. My wanderlust is cured by OTR as well. For some drivers and their partners, local just doesn't work. I have respect for local and dedicated route drivers, but for my old man and for myself, it just doesn't fit.

[@reneelemaster3290]

The only drivers that don't have a choice are the ones who have bad MVRs or don't speak english very well. All other drivers have options but each branch has pros and cons. For me, i could never get enough sleep running local. Average day was 12 to 14 hours, 5 days a week. That makes you old, fast. I'm OTR but dedicated so i get home a few days every week. Loads are never more then 500 miles from home. I'm happy with that and don't have to worry about falling asleep at the wheel.

[@albertvasquez6207]

Keep up the good work

[@B2Speaks]

God bless you!

[@user-oc5mw2bb6g]

New to your channel Brother and I appreciate the content~these social media gangsters just crack me up instead of taking the trucking industry seriously they’d rather come on social media to act a fool for no good dang reason other than to make themselves feel good. Trucking is a difficult job within itself yet why folks seem to want to make it harder just baffles the heck outta me. Be Blessed Be Safe

[@B2Speaks]

Man, you're exactly right! The fact that some feel the need to threaten someone and their family because of an opinion they have about trucking is pure stupidity... Be safe out there, and God bless you, my brother!

[@lancehammons5918]

Tried local Prefer otr

[@B2Speaks]

I feel ya

[@GabrielG80]

Honestly, I love being OTR because I stay out 2-3 months at a time so when I do go home, I stay home about 6 days. I would rather stay home for those consecutive days a few times a year than to work everyday and go home for my 10 hr break. I’m definitely going to think about slowing down in a year or two, though, if the money is right and do something local or dedicated maybe. For now I love my schedule. Btw, you have over 11K subscribers! 😀 People that are doing all the right things in life will always get those trying to bring them down. To have such an impact on others (whether they choose to respond in a negative or positive way) is an amazing skill. Keep up the excellent work 👍🏼

[@catfishmike4599]

Don’t be messing with my co worker B2 Speaks aka Walter!

[@B2Speaks]

Lol You better tell them Mike! Be safe out there!

[@henrybobswillikers]

I sub, like your content.

[@someoldguy109]

I'm on a dedicated route Ft. Smith, Ar to Valliant, Ok and back. I'm home every weekend. I don't want to go otr anymore.

[@andrewscott1446]

I don't mind otr but sitting for 4 days and getting robbed of the miles you do just ain't affordable or worth it

[@trigi1343]

Tbh it seems like local jobs are impossible to get unless your female unfortunately they seem to get first seat at local positions

[@Pollito6927]

Local for what? Unless u doing 40 hrs a week its worth it. If u working 70 hours a week its better to go home on the weekends and not driving home everyday.

[@219dprice]

[@txcavi]

I left to drive a cement mixer. Way better

[@keithh8149]

I may not agree with some of your stuffs but at least you're respectful with your content, but you're right people be crazy with threats over someone else's views🤦‍♂️

[@B2Speaks]

Be blessed out there my brother!

[@keithh8149]

@@B2Speaks u too be safe, to your video though, there are some of us old folks that actually love OTR🤷🏻‍♂️ for me local or regional would get boring, but I’m a Army brat so I’ve traveled all my life practically and it’s what I enjoy, sides my wife comes with me most times and her kids are all grown anyways. Side y’all local and regional folks gotta get your freight somehow, without us OTR guys y’all wouldn’t have anything to do 😆

[@user-dg7zg6qd5c]

I clicked on this video as soon as I seen the finger nail. I totally agree with you, local over OTR.... Hell regional at worse.

[@ogtrucker5803]

What's good my guy I live in Southern California. What would you consider local? Tell me if I'm right for example Los Angeles CA To Fresno CA is about 240 miles is that local?

[@B2Speaks]

I would consider that local, but it also depends on if you can get back to your original starting point within your DOT 11 hr driving clock and 14 hr on duty clock. Traffic in southern California is about the worst in the nation, so it might be tough to turn almost 500 miles. But other than that, yes I would consider it local

[@scottshuler4026]

I've been driving for over 30yrs.. almost all otr.. I have little respect for local drivers.. most who just come out of school and have never slept in a truck. Always in a hurry.. tailgating.. it's just a job to them.. it's a lifestyle for us.. they also won't go certain places like the north east..it takes toughness and fortitude to be an otr truck driver..

[@Solitude633]

Loco Local

[@johnmerlo5005]

Soon this will be true ,forget about self driving trucks they still can't compete with the train !
