I showed this to my 5 year old daughter one day, when she went to school the teacher was talking about how God created the universe and on the seventh day He rested. My daughter said and on the 8th day he created a trucker, the teacher smiled, and said "really", then my daughter showed her this video, teacher had tears in her eyes and never saw what we REALLY do. Keep up the good videos guys.

I wish the general population could comprehend even a smidgen of this... it's what we do and it's a thankless job. Trucking takes its toll on EVERYTHING in your life... but you still hold that steering wheel, watch all the details, live on naps... and stay strong without support.... at least not in the 'traditional' sense. Nobody holds our hands. Sink or Float... not everyone is cut out for this profession. Like it, Love it, Hate it... it is what we do,... without question... from start til finish. Tears come to our eyes... but not because of sadness... because of sheer exhaustion. Great video Chris.. (and Steph) you guys rock..... let's throw Daniel Linns in there while we're at it. Keep up the good work. It's nice to know that there are some people who have our backs when most look at us as sinister and evil.

We are not liked because we drive a little fast sometimes. We are loud and obnoxious. Because we are alone most of the time . So we get around other drivers and have a good time. Talk about our trucks and who's is faster. But people don't mind eating the food we deliver. Or the toys they buy for kids at Christmas. Or the toilet paper they wipe with . But they don't stop and think about , most truckers would park their truck in the woods or on it's side . TO SAVE THEIR LIVES , ALOT OF TRUCKERS HAVE GIVE THEIR LIVES TO SAVE A CAR LOAD OF PEOPLE . But we are considered outlaws. I would take that name any day. Over being called a shiney seat of the pants pencil pusher. At least we work for our money. And work damn hard. People cut us off , and it's our fault. Proud to be a retired trucker with 5 safe driving awards . To all of you drivers new and old. Keep the shiney side up and the dirty side down .

He always tell me if I want something or have a question about a semi truck or a car let him know. My dad show me why he is a truck driver and how these 4 wheeler have no respect for him and show me how it is on the road with him. Show how the cloth on my back the stuff in my house and the road I drive on and the school is all they because of the truck driver community.so I give my hat of to men and women who are truck driver if people do not respect u for remember I have respect for all you truck driver.i know the you all truck driver keep the 18 wheel roading so that your family can have a better life for your family.🛣🚙🌛🌑🌝🌞

This is awesome. This truly encompasses every part of the old school trucking industry. The generation that is sadly fading and sadly falling to the wayside because of regulation and new breed seat warmers. There are very few greenhorns out there now that are willing to keep this old mentality alive. Trucking is becoming less of a livelihood, and more of a job. People like you are what keep the light burning for this industry that's trying to be snuffed out. They'll never be able to kill trucking. No matter how regulated they try to make it. We will keep rolling.
