The want to do something different but also not wanting to give up what you are doing. It’s a hard road out there. Thank you for showing the essence of this life.

It is a loners life, but just because you are alone doesn't mean you are lonely. 3. Do not get into a relationship unless she is riding with you. 4. For you young truckers, explore all options in trucking before you settle down on one. Thanks for the video. S/O to all truckers.

People would find a way to survive. They would have to come together with their neighbors and form their own means of producing goods. If anything, the ability to purchase goods from around the world has devastated peoples sense of community. I’ve talked to many people from South America and they depend on local markets to get their food and other goods. They do just fine. Americans have become spoiled on a wasteful life style.

As a truck driver. This is SO FUCKING ACCURATE, minus the part of Having your truck sitting at the fuel island while your going inside and sit down and eat lol.

Not for everyone, A lot of these new people come into trucking industry, and they don’t realize at all how lonely and your never home, your always out, different states different time zones. People just think it’s all about sitting down and driving and bam, I’ll be home. They’re wrong. You gotta add in the Stress of your truck, Traffic, On time delivery, parking for the night and idiots driving on the road. In trucking it’s always, lose one and gain another. It’s not for everyone. That’s why it’s absolutely true, not a lot of folks last around 6months and less, they just don’t understand it completely. It’s not for everyone.

I drove 500,000 miles over the past 5 years as a OTR driver, the only accurate thing is the hometime, you're only home 3-4 days every 6 weeks. When you're 1 year into your trucking career, you have a pretty solid idea what the sacrifices are. You NEVER forget what time zone you're in, you work literally every imaginable shift hours, and you don't call it, "once I finish this job", it's more of a time frame, like 4-5 weeks on the road, than you earn a max of 3 days, 2 nights home, then back out for another 5-6 weeks. It's really a thankless job, yet it whats makes this country survive, yet all the "4 wheelers"( aka cars) is the WORST past of this job, because you all are complete A$$holes to us truckers while driving, because for some reason, you all treat us like garbage while you drive wrecklessly around us, because you all think that your time is far more valuable than ours

You guys have chosen to stir a stirring wheel and watch KZbin, eat garbage food and all you can talk about is “dam, I stock at the fuel island” or “man, I almost got late for delivery!”. That’s it. I understand that without truck drivers all the economy will stop. But you do this job not to help economy in any way but because that’s the only thing you can do to make your small money. There’s no way to say “oh but if everybody will quit trucking, then, THEN…!” Of course everybody will not quit trucking, because those garbage people who only can drive a truck for living will never end 😊

Where you try to switch to another company but they’re all the same. Where you wake up and realize you’ve spent years of your life driving and no memories to really show for it.

The driving and solitude is the best part about trucking. Unfortunately the rest of it sucks a lot (insufficient pay (work 60-70 hours every week and earn barely $1300 average), insufficient hometime (work 6-8 weeks, be home for just one!), frustrating office staff, disrespectful and unappreciative customers, other drivers trashing places and making the rest of us look bad, the dangers of the road, the tolls on health, wellness, and fitness, and relationships or the lack of them; constant stress. Horribly evil and predatory companies taking advantage of drivers, etc.). I’m thinking of hanging up my keys in a year, once I can afford to go back to school.

It’s honestly embarrassing that in this industry, OTR somehow pays less than local jobs. I’m just trying to stick it out so I can move up. I’m tired of making >50k. Especially when you consider all the extra bs that comes with OTR. Also, the whole “get to see the country” thing is mostly bs. Whatever you can see from your windshield is what you get. One thing that does put a smile on my face though is when kids do the arm pump. Just today I drove up 95 through South Carolina and saw some kids on a boat doing it. I didn’t even hesitate! 😂

Only you can make a difference in your life , it’s up to you Also, don’t get discouraged to quit your job. Just make sure you have a job that already hired you before you quit.

Over the years I have come to realise that it isn't just a job, but a lifestyle choice in reality. Some days are rough, really rough and you just want to go home. But you can't, because home is far away and you've still got to finish the job. Other days though, are great and you don't even feel like your at work. When your out in the truck, break times and overnights aren't really time off. You still need to be near your truck, ideally in eye view. You are responsible for it, and its cargo, and those aspects mean you can never switch off.

@@More_Row Yes, American Trucking. Hazing is absolutely horrific - what I meant by incredible. If you're a company driver, you're automatically considered a piece of feces. However the color and texture of you as a piece of feces varies depending on companies you drive for. For example, Knight-Swift (previously Swift) is considered actual excrement. However companies like Yellow are considered golden layered and least smelling. UPS and Fedex are in the middle for having some of the worst winter drivers, but hardest working. If you're an Owner Op, then you're considered a real trucker but still given crap depending on what and how you do. Company driver? Good luck. I drove for many companies in my ten years and always struggled alone. Maybe a few instances of a brotherhood, but that brotherhood is fake and only reserved for "real truckers". After ten years I finally got off the road. Traffic being too much as it was because normal four-wheeler drivers were crazier than before and truckers were getting just as crazy.

Since that time and the rise of trucking companies, a giant rift has expanded that separates the two. I only a few times got to see real trucking, in winter mainly. When things get hard and tough you'll fall in line, form a convoy, get through the blizzard or follow a fellow driver around an accident on a backroad bypass. But those were few and far between.

Live below your means, save, try to set your kids up to have a decent life (unlike the standard American practice of kicking them out of the house by age 18 to sink or swim). My impression is that trucking can be a good way to stack money up and see the country *before* you settle down and get a partner. BTW as a trumpet player, Chad's lips are always hilarious.

As someone going through amazon career choice and starting CDL school in january, seeing this video is refreshing to know that no matter what will happen its like any job. Pros and cons. But i love driving around and being single no kids looking for a way to really save some money to do the things i want to do later on is the perfect way for me to go about it.

Leaving the medical field to pursue trucking. My work at a nursing home where we get paid in scraps to wipe ass and get punched has drained me of all the passion I had for my career and I want to do something I will enjoy. I am not a people person and solitude is the most rewarding part of the day for me. I like to travel and driving has always been a nice time. I figure I could make it in the trucking world despite being a small woman.

This was great. The older guy Wojak met at the gas station was a nice addition to this story. He provided a new perspective on being a truck driver. Also, it’s a shame he was being cheated on by that harlot of a woman. It’s sad but great he got the wake up call he needed about what kind of person she is.

That alarm gave me PTSD... It still beats local driving though, man. God, this video is just exactly what the life is like. This hurts so much. I'm going back to it in a bit after a 4 month Trade school break. To all the people considering driving, do it. At least for a year, and get out. You'll learn a lot about driving, yourself, your taste in music and podcasts, your patience. I sure missed the open road for those four months.

I drove for 6 years, at first I loved the freedom, but as I realized that it meant I couldn't have connections or a family, it began to make me extremely depressed. Being a driver has taught me a lot, but one thing I don't regret about quitting, is that I make more money now being out of the industry than in it. I was always a company driver, but even though owner/ops can make a lot more money, they spend a LOT on maintenance. Now I work to sell truckers and mechanics parts at a dealership, and with how expensive their supplies are getting, it's no wonder the industry is hitting a big downturn lately. The industry is focused on getting rid of the driver, for better or for worse. It's no longer the glory days of being a lone wolf on the road, and driving for a company will only make you a modest wage. My advice? Keep your Class A CDL like I did for a rainy day, but get a "normal" job. When you've been through hell, a normal 9-5 job won't feel so bad, cuz at least you get to go home every day.

I've had socially anxiety for most of my life. I'm a loner, but I've never felt lonely when I'm alone. Truck driving, like any other job, has it's pros and cons. But I'd rather be doing this than any other form of work. I did ten years in the military and although I'm proud to have served my country, being there made me realize how much I prefer to work by myself. They talk about robots replacing us truckers and I hope that never happens, especially during my lifetime. I guess I could work somewhere else that doesn't require much socializing, but it wouldn't compare to the joy of seeing a new place every day, listening to podcasts and audiobooks while driving, and having my own moving office. Anybody can be a trucker, but it's not for everybody. Thank you for reading this, peace and blessings, have a Prosperous day

I have been driving for 8 years now, and I have to say that the good thing about trucking is that you don't have to deal with coworkers and bosses to see their faces all day. I enjoy working alone, the only con side of trucking is the dispatchers and brokers the way they see us as numbers, that is inevitable.

I don't know how it works in the U.S., here in Italy every truck driver has a card that records driving hours and miles driven. Well, they are often forced to keep a magnet on the part of the truck that records trips so that it is always stationary, and they often have to use the cards of off-duty colleagues to double the mileage done and make more money for the company. The only advantage is that if you have your own company you make a lot of money, but if you are an employed truck driver, you will be exploited like a slave for little money. My uncle has been a truck driver for almost 40 years now, one of the things he told me is "never work as a trucker."

I’m laying down in my sleeper waiting for the customer at a Dick’s Sporting Goods to unload and this uploaded. Edit: God, this hits hard, I call my mom daily to let her know I’m doing fine. The early morning waking up still tired to do a pre-trip. I’ve been doing this for over a year, so wojak in a funny since is literally me 🤣. Most of the guys you meet that have been in the game forever are just tired. Most of the newer drivers, frankly are morons or don’t speak a lick of English. Also, it does ring true that most drivers don’t last a year, most go 6 months so the mega carrier they drive for has to cover trucking school cost. It’s a hard life. The pay is mediocre compared to that of the golden era. You get fat, you age faster, you deal with moronic drivers and customers. However, while there’s a lot of crap you have to deal with, nothing is more beautiful than listening to that diesel hum while you cross over the Rockies or the plains while the sun rises. The air is pure and fresh, and for a moment, you’re truly free.

I live in Ottawa Canada, I was there when the Trucker Convoy came in freezing temperatures and parked in front of Parliament Hill during Covid.... It was one of the best days of my life. I bought them coffee and donuts and tried to make them feel at home because they were being ostracized by our Government and by the corporate media. I have so much respect and appreciation for Truckers they don't get enough credit for the sacrifices they make. Thank You❤

I’ve been driving for 14 years, luckily mostly local and home every night. These trucks are loud inside! You have to turn up the radio so high that your ears will fatigue when listening to music too long. Podcasts are a little easier on the ears. I did otr (over the road) for a short time and it’s tough. Not healthy sitting for extended amounts of time. Local deliveries allow you to be in and out of the truck all day. Not a bad gig
