This truck stop this is just my opinion it’s big I go on i90 on way to Boston it’s 1/4 the size of size or half . The stop you showed on 9:23 minutes is most of the truck stops I seen. Probably the biggest stop I seen was near border of Canada. I want travel down south I heard and seen on KZbin trucker stops are much larger there

As a professional truck driver for 33 years now. My friend I wish you well. You're just starting out. But judging by your pre-trip you're off to a good start. Here are some rules of thumb. Never burn your Bridges at both ends. Another rule of thumb is this. A good way to tell how well a company treats its drivers in terms of pay scale is to look at the equipment and the kind of equipment and how the equipment is maintained by the other drivers. I've seen variant trucks going down the highway and those Kenworths are not cheap. That's your first clue as to how much money you're going to make at a trucking company. The less trucks a trucking company has and the older trucks they have the more money the driver gets in his pocket. In other words they care more about the quality of drivers than they do about the equipment. But it's a double-edged sword. If you plan on staying in the trucking for decades like I have. Set your goals now and stick to them and you will go far and you will be successful. Finally. And this is very important. Make yourself part of the minority and not the majority of drivers. And what I mean by that is most drivers complain about everything and the company put you on The Blacklist. Then you won't make any money and you'll be frustrated and take your anger out on everybody else around you. If you pay attention to how the game of trucking is played. You will make a lot of money. In other words the minority of drivers do what they are told and pay their dues. When you do that the company will put you on a reliable driver profile and no it's not ass kissing. It's just common sense. That's my advice as an old fart of 33 years in trucking to a young guy who's just starting out like yourself. Stay safe and stay away from the brat packs! Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.

Alex wishes he had my boss, he just went out and bought 3 refurbished Kenworth T680s 2 w/sleeper 1 without. My boss and I taught his son so we were a 3 man crew. I got a call now his nephew got his CDL permit, and I assigned him to work with me. my boss agreed, in the morning we begin as a team. I think he's 20 and he's been told watch my every move to get it right. A CDL is nothing to screw up on. But like I did Alex has to find the right people. Good luck and be safe Alex.

#1 NEVER blindly trust gps. #2 unless you are an owner operator there is no such thing as a "sleep schedule" in trucking specifically with big carriers. Example my current load picked up at 0800 in Guymon OK on the 15th. Then the first delivery was 0300 in Baton rouge LA this morning the 17th and now my last stop delivers at midnight tonight the 17th in Brundidge AL. My next load picks up at 8pm tomorrow the 18th in Collins MS and then delivers at 5pm the 19th in Joplin MO.

Driving at midnight is weird. I drive ready mix. Often we start running around midnight since that's what a lot of construction customers want to do. When you find out you're starting super early there's some dread. As long as you get to bed on time, give yourself enough sleep, it isn't so bad. There aren't any 4 wheelers around so you get to the job and back fast and more safely. Before you know it the sun's coming up and you get a new perspective on the day. So time goes by surprisingly fast.

What a mellow truck driver! I never realize that your demeanor existed in the industry. You're like .......human!! Inclement weather you take notice and safely bow out for your safety and the safety of others. Not 75 mph passing cars, splashing waves of water and slush. Pushing,tailgating etc.. No, you're carefully driving like its someone else's truck, and a million dollar load,...as you should. Not bully driving around aggressively, just because you're protected and not likely to perish in a crash. You appear to care about the devastating effects of a tractor trailer crash and drive approximately. America needs several thousands of you out there setting an example for the industry. What an exemplary professional big rig operator. Appreciate you!🙏

Happy for you man, hope your next company is everything you’re looking for. Side note, were you really going to stop because of rain in the daytime? Lol I drive overnight 6pm-6/7am and the only thing I stop for is freezing rain/snow when it’s below freezing. Anything other than that I just take it slow, but not stop.

Hey what’s up Alex, I might be going with Variant in the future. I asked a recruiter this and I wanna make sure it’s true. The pet policy for dogs, there’s no weight limit or breed restrictions right? And the dog doesn’t have to be neutered if it’s a male?

Hey Alex the trucking guy! Do what is best for you and your bottom line which is your bank account. It's going to take longer than 30 days to get into a rhythm with a company because they need to study the pattern and your work style. Also, u you can get a better average of what you're going to make consistently. Anyway, Good luck and congratulations on the new the company hope it a home for you for a while

Welcome to the club Alex,as the demand for truck drivers are through the roof right now we have this freedom of choosing what's the best for us. I had to quit as well because the treatment in the trucking company I was working was horrible. Now I'm waiting for a better opportunity. Anyways,good luck and easy riding through America. 🙋‍♂️🛣️🚛💭

There is nothing wrong with OTR I'm sure there are companies out there that pay pretty well and treat their drivers well it's just you have to be bought in on the lifestyle that's all. But I will tell you there are some places that will pay you better to be home every night. I currently work for Pepsi doing transport and that is just Warehouse to warehouse. Very good pay home every night.

What you don't understand is you don't get to set when you want to work in trucking. Your goal is to get those loads there on time otherwise you get penalized. It is a big deal to deliver loads late. What you don't understand is the world doesn't bend to you. But because you're young you have the self-entitlement, I don't think you will last in trucking. Bottom line is any company you go to they want their loads there on time they don't really care about your personal time or when you want to drive. That's why I trucking is tough I've been doing this for 12 years.

You younger guys and gals rely on your GPS for everything. They still make these things called a road atlas and regular maps. I always would look at the paper maps to see what’s the best route and most direct as opposed to the GPS possibly sending you the wrong way for a four hour wrong way drive. Anyway lots of luck in your new job.

What made you think ot was a good idea to work for a mega carrier? They are legendary for awful pay, hometime, and unpaid labor. 300 dollar weeks are not unheard of. Immagin that. Out on the road working all day for 7 days sleeping in a truck away from family and home and getting paid only 300 dollars. You did 14 hours a day of work to get 300 dollars. Truckers get screwed out of pay more then anybody. Half the work they do thry don't get paid for. The entire industry is criminal. They get sewed all the time but they decided paying the lawsuits for unpaid work once in a while is cheaper then just being honest and paying the driver fairly. They make 10 billion from ripping off the drivers a year and get sued every 3 years ordered to pay 130 million. No wonder they keep cheating the drivers. Good business

Alex- I've driven OTR for 12 years and now drive a city bus. Believe me, 90 percent of these companies don't give a flying f about you- your family, your interests or your commitments. To them, a driver is just ''meat in the seat.'' At the end of the day, if it ain't about money- it ain't about shit. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Do what profits you and advances your goals. Also, KW's , especially hoods (W900's) look cool but the storage and all around livability of a Freightliner is so much better. I would have loved to run team with a driver like you!
