In this video, I give you a quick rundown on how I got into trucking.

Just remember, when it comes to not hitting something, an inch is as good as a mile. I drove gasoline tankers over 40 years in Los Angeles and San Diego and it seems like everyday was just missing things by inches😎

[@dammmnndaniel3715]

Got my class A at 20 years old 13 years ago while going for my bachelors. Took me 5.5 years to get my degree as well. Now, having a degree is nice and all, but there’s so much money in trucking. I don’t even use my degree nor will I ever. I’ve been making 6 figures for 7 years now and about to buy my own truck. My advice, keep trucking !!!

[@stickybread4180]

It‘s so incredibly nice to see someone so relatable on KZbin! I‘m also a part time truck driver and I study music at university. Sometimes it felt like I was the only one in the world living the two lives of arts and trucking at the same time… so I felt kind of odd. So good to see there‘s people like you doing the same thing! Wish you and Andy all the best for the future, always keep enjoying the freedom of the road! 🚛💨

[@briatrucking]

Wow! I could say the exact same. Thank you for sharing :) At first, I felt that trucking and studying at univeristy was an unlikely/unique endeavor, but I have grown to love both. Anything is possible!

[@kens.3729]

It’s Amazing how much Product gets Shipped and Transported ALL over the Country. Thank GOD for ALL of our Truckers and Thanks for your Patience. 👍

[@Hohoho-y9k]

I say that everyday 💪❤

[@wilE6764]

You're definitely the prettiest truck driver I ever saw..be safe and careful out there..don't ever assume..and always be aware of your surroundings!

[@kens.3729]

It’s really Safe to Say that your Partner, Andy, is Very Proud of your Accomplishments. You’re very Qualified and are very Conscientious. 👍🙏

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing.

[@Ron5ter2]

Really love your video's, it's really nice to see how a truckers life can be and that truckers deserve more respect. I subscribed because I want to see more of this! Good job and wishing you all the best. Greetings from The Netherlands (Europe).

[@ccavalier10]

Thanks for sharing your story Bria! I’m with my first company have less than a year experience and the pay isn’t great but just trying to make it to that year mark w/o any accidents. Hoping there is more money in the future! But truckings been a good job for me love to travel and meeting other drivers. Keep up the vids! Great content.

[@ChefCarvan]

Great video Bria! That was the best video I’ve seen in a very long time. Thank you for that. I am a Schneider TE. Gary OC in NW Indiana. I am a 30 years experienced driver on two continents. I am an American who started in Europe. Again thanks for the video. It was an inspiring, positive video. It made me smile. I hope the best in your career. Stay safe out there!😊

Kudos to you for being such a driven person! Inspirational ☺️

[@markbowles9452]

As a new subscriber Im really impressed with your channel. Your attitude is refreshing. I see some Amazon drivers who are no more than steering wheel holders. As a now retired part-time "Mud-Bucket Jockey" and gravel traveler you are really a credit to the brand.👍 Stay healthy, Be Safe, Keep the videos coming.👍🤠🚚🇺🇲

[@user-gj6jn2st9u]

congratulations!! For your journey here, nice to see your professionalism. I've been a truck driver in Brazil for over 25 years. thank you very much for sharing your experience with us

[@gentleman8497]

Just recently found your channel. Good luck on your studies. Stay save on the roads! 👍

[@joereveles6035]

Ur channel randomly popped up on my feed 2 weeks ago, after the first video I watched I subscribed right away. Reason being is because I think female cdl truck drivers are badass! I work for a local beer distributor here in orange county and our backing skills are on point, having to back into crazy spots like bars,restaurants, liquor stores, grocery ect. Much respect to all the female truckers out there.

[@summerz8867]

I grew up in a family with truck drivers ,have seen both sides of the life, have great respect, safe travels 😽💫

[@Paul-zm1hb]

I admire your ambition and "sticktoitiveness". I hauled cars decades ago and then went back to school and got training in systems and that was my future. Trucking is very hard work. Good Luck, Bria

[@chrisced007]

Just found your channel. Very cool. I'm a college graduate in trucking not using my bachelors degree. I started running teams for a FedEx Ground contractor running teams. Did that for 2 years then switched to a union LTL company. I couldn't believe how much money was left on the table from not being paid properly. My backing skills with a 53' are horrible since I mainly pull double and triple 28' trailers. Keep up the good work.

[@Takirua66]

Hi Bria, enjoying your content explaining a lot and your journey, we all have backing issues from time to time, it is how it is, I'm a Truck Driver from New Zealand

[@georgehasler142]

Thank you for your nice video and as always drive and work carefully

[@FAK1220]

Hay you are a pro . I'm impressed to see how smoothly and accurately you back-up your trailer in a tight spot. Your story is amazing & interesting too. I completed my AZ professional training in 2011 from Humber college Toronto. And got a job invitation from Schneider Trucking. But I don't wanna be a long haul trucker. Rather I prefer to be a Shunt truck driver. I enjoy driving trailers in & out of docks.

[@Glasshousebc]

Thank you for sharing your journey. Stay great

[@briatrucking]

Always!

[@KenpomomGaming]

I remember my friend telling me all the waiting he had to do when they cancelled pick ups. I saw you were driving on hwy 92. I don't miss the Bay Area hyws. I was born and raised in Fremont. I see that some of your Leadership training is shining through. So proud of you. Stay safe and keep it up!

[@briatrucking]

Thank you so much! Yes, a lot of times it’s like that and we run out of Hours of Service. I will always remember my training from your classes :)

Being vulnerable and sharing your experiences is NOT easy. KZbin can be the Wild West. Either way, thank you for sharing this and I wish you all the best in your journey.

I agree with you Schneider is a good company to start off with

[@wettexan]

I applaud you and the work you've put into your career. I'm a class B, people instead of products. It's not easy, but it's freedom. I refer to it as a "corner office with an ever-changing view and a company vehicle". Safe travels!

I started with schneider as well about 4 years ago and drove with them otr for 3 years. Great company to start and learn with. I'm a local driver now luckily with better pay. I like your laid back personality. ;p And great backing skills!

[@briatrucking]

Thank you! I agree that Schneider is a great company to start with. I learned so much when I was driving with them and am still learning every day 👍

[@karstenschley9976]

Driving a truck and drawing cartoons go very well together for me, as I only drive local transport for DHL Hamburg, Germany. And I'm glad that I drive turntable trailers and not semi-trailers. All the best to you, Bria!

[@BM-if9zn]

I drove for DHL for 6 yrs and got 6 driving awards in the 90s, it was a fun job until technology arrived, rush, rush, rush.

[@stevenrobinson9610]

I am glad to hear your boyfriend helped you develop your backing skills... having someone you can trust and talk with about what does not make sense... most of the time truckers are not good trainers.... teaching is another world / learning science is Greek

[@poorlittlebiker6476]

I started CDL driving in February last year. Instead of trucks though, I started driving school buses where I was able to get my class B. Then I continue to drive school buses, then shuttle buses, and now I drive for Greyhound. Definitely not what I had in mind when getting into commercial driving, but it ain’t too bad. It’s nice to hear how others got into the industry and what drives them to stick around. Keep it up, and stay safe.

[@rohenry9962]

Interesting I was planing to get my B first and then get my A later. But I was thinking it’s probably best to just get the A as this opens up more opportunities. I’m trying to either drive school buses or tour buses in my area. But I’m open to driving bigger vehicles. Did you ever consider getting your A? Or are you content with your B?

[@poorlittlebiker6476]

@@rohenry9962 Oh for sure I think about getting my Class A, all the endorsements, and removing the restrictions for the same reason you mentioned- more opportunities. If money isn’t an issue, or you don’t mind a contract to be trained by a company, just go for the A and get it over and done with. Me personally, I didn’t have the money for truck school (and I don’t do loans, especially for something that I might’ve not liked later on), nor did I want to be anchored by a contract, so class B was the route for me. That said, as of right now, I’m pretty content where I’m at. Bus driving is pretty laid back even doing line runs, and I definitely see a market for bus driving opportunities if I ever want to hop in a bus of my own. I’m just riding the wave right now and see where it takes me, but still plan on upgrading my license in the future!
