Oakley requirements, some totals, and some thoughts.

[@LFJ_Utalk]

Jimmy.. I decided Oakley wasn't for me as my wife is ill.. however I still watch your videos and religiously follow all your footage.. I truly wish all Americans were as sincere and great as you.. also as a former long haul trucker I ate all that processed crap for decades.. im happy to say I'm eating fruits, veggies and low fat proteins and have dropped 43lbs in 7 months.. that will continue in 2025..you are definitely one of my favorite channels in all of youtube... Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and happy new year and much more peace and prosperity moving along into the new year.. God Bless

@@LFJ_Utalk right on. Congrats on the success with the healthy lifestyle journey!! Keep moving forward!! Thx for watching and have a great Christmas!

[@deanfournier8300]

Another great video, Jimmy. I tell drivers all the time about the potential for the money to be made over here and I have been fortunate enough to recruit some as well. Oakley has been great for me and my family for the past 5 years and I’m looking forward to 5 more. Be safe and I’ll see ya out there somewhere.

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

@@deanfournier8300 thx boss!! I hope you get many more opportunities for referrals!! Thx for shouting out. Be safe out there!!

[@robryan1942]

You Rock. Thanks for the information. I had a accident 9/22 it was an at fault in a heavy rain down pour. Some companies are 2/3and now 5 years before they will consider you. I definitely appreciate this video.

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

right on, thx for the feedback. Oakley is 3 years for accidents. Have a great Christmas.

[@teampenn2007]

Love these videos. Nice work!

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

Much appreciated

[@PFeal]

I applied was accepted and spoke to Dustin Thursday but they wouldn't even look at my W9 I rebuilt to new with full paperwork, 5 years or newer no exceptions they said. Maybe because they have a waiting list for everything I don't know.

[@TheDriller100]

new to you, it's junk to most .. old trucks are just that .. old junk

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

They're nailing down on the 5 years and newer I guess. Their company their ball.

[@PFeal]

@@TheDriller100 that's not even close to true but I understand your point, most are. I rebuilt a show truck with every replaceable part going to OEM new with zero emissions, new motor, new 18 speed not rebuilt, zero frame rust. I found a old owner who took care of this truck which is why I rebuilt it to new and saved $130k. There's a few good rebuildable ones out there but they're hard to find.

[@growthefarmup2606]

​@PFeal come run the west bulk market where I prefer the a rebuilt pre 99 elog ag exempt w900 or old 379. Just stretcher out to 280 in and put a pusher axle on the truck and we'll hook u up to on of our 3 axle hoppers and get you hauling 100K+ gross legally across a 8 state area west of Missouri river. Oakley is OK, there more than a trucking co, they have ports and terminals, I contract with Bruce alot for western work. Oakley needs 5 yrs or newer and can only hail 80K gross because he in the eastern midwest. Get that rebuilt W9 doing what you rebuilt it for.

[@WayneStcroix]

Hope all is well with you and your health

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

@@WayneStcroix thank you sir indeed. Same to you.

[@BigRigRandy]

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

Right on

[@Terrywatson-vw9ol]

Thats the 1st time ive been told about the beardless requiement. Ill shave, for $300k, ill shave it. I wear a short beard, 7/16 on the trimmer. No big deal. Thanks for the info, Semper Fi.

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

@@Terrywatson-vw9ol email me [e-mail]

[@frontrunner2104]

Good talk

[@lawrenceburbridge9033]

you tell it like it is and this is the MOST important message for anyone listening, You work for Oakley as a customer that delivers product for their customers,, You forgot one little thing though,, (at least when I was an owner operator hauling electronics) your vehicle is your autograph. Dirty vehicle, not a very high gross each year,, Clean vehicle, much higher gross as you are allowed more product to haul

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

Right on

[@terrillmyles5239]

I've used a cpap before. I couldn't sleep with it. I slept better without it.
