Who is ALEX THE TRUCKING GUY?
I am a 22 year old traveling the United States that posts day in the life vlogs of a truck driver. I attended CFI's trucking school at crowder college and have been with CFI since August 2021. I got into trucking because I've always wanted to live life on the road since I was 18 years old. Originally I was going to do vanlife but decided to live the trucking life instead because it was a better financial decision. I mean I have free housing and I travel the U.S. It's awesome! I mean what job other than trucking can you listen to podcasts while you work and travel the country for free???

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

i love my new truck. new video on it coming soon 🔴subscribe??? join my trucking squad & apply at Variant trucking, discord fam, store: linktr.ee/alexthetruckingguy

[@12Moneyshot]

Can't wait, keep it up!

[@dawsonoden7209]

Narrow

[@deangelodonaldson3106]

Is it only automatic trucks you drive? or you drive both manual and automatic?

[@Chevyguy2010]

Are you a company driver or a owner operator? I am not trying to be rude.

[@flashback5391]

The longer vids are much better then shorts. Wouldn’t mind waiting 2-3 days for a longer video in replacement for the shorts.

[@twomasta]

That's nice but the shorts being in money.

[@blakeslocum2732]

Why not do both!

[@Biqtuna93]

I fully agree

[@silversurfer5920]

Tbh that’s why I don’t watch this channel. It randomly pops up in recommend. Which I guess is awesome for him getting attention to the channel but I don’t like shorts. I like vlogs or regular vids to play in the background while I do stuff.

[@gumbydamit4161]

I agree also thanks

[@18BIG78]

As a retired AIR FORCE VET AND 38 YEAR TRUCKER. SUPER CONGRATS TO YOUR BRO AN YOU. Great vids love it

[@sir.alexei]

Alex, could you make a video showing us your new truck, that would be awesome and I’ll really appreciate that ✌🏻

[@rishikpillai1296]

long video please!

[@Mosesinmusic]

@@rishikpillai1296 yes 😁

[@sir.alexei]

@@rishikpillai1296 totally agree

[@Augustasgarage]

Yea

[@HappyBear376]

Congratulations to your brother. You should be very proud as I'm sure he is of you.

[@MatthewOnAMissionFromGod]

I can feel the confidence in the way you speak compared to when you were new, good job, and thanks for sharing everything with us

[@RogueShadowAngel]

You should do a truck tour. Also I love your videos. My great uncle and paternal grandfather were truckers for years when I was young so 1990s... lol I love your shorts and videos because it gives me a look into what their lives were like.

[@18wheeler77]

Brother, always check the loading support legs on the rear. They are known to stay up and not move back. So the whole weight of the load will be hitting on them down the highway.

[@ItsWoadie]

That’s a sick truck. Brand new! Please do more driving vlogs. I’m going to be a trucker soon! And wanna see the life first. Thanks sir love the content!

[@mustafaabdi3297]

Good luck

[@12799MaDeuce]

RVs should require CDLs as well, especially when towing trailers

[@2LegitTwoQuit]

California does class b

[@cfin3897]

I’m addicted to your videos 😂 Something about your lifestyle is so fun to watch. Keep it up my man!

[@jesuschristiskingandsavior461]

He makes trucking seem fun😂

[@LorenzoFrancisco]

Finally! An upload that doesn't end while you're still speaking! 🥳

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Hahaha

[@NoOneToNoOne89]

Crank the handle forward (counter clockwise) to go forward - raise the feet. Crank the handle backwards (clockwise) after you’ve gone backwards (backed into your spot) and are ready to drop. I don’t know, a little thing that helped me remember what to do with that handle!

[@truckingwithj7202]

Doesn't always work that way though. Depends on how the legs are mounted.

[@ravagestyx6997]

Depends on the trailer honestly because some trailers are backwards

[@firc9936]

Really liked this type of video. If its not too difficult to do with editing and planning the video, I think these would be much loved by everyone.

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

I'm figuring it out. It's just a learning phase I gotta get through

[@tmo.48]

Congratulations to your brother!!! I was in the Air Force and it was a good experience for me. Really missed the midnight chow where you could go eat some good food whether or not you ate your supper earlier!!! So PLEASE tell your brother CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 ♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡

[@jonwo4518]

Sweet new truck! Company is definitely taking care of you. Hopefully you grabbed everything you needed out of your old one.

[@loganselby3926]

I love your videos they make me want to do trucking but I also love them because you don’t just do the prose you also do the cons and I love it

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Yup I try to keep it transparent as to what being a trucker is really like. I love this job. It's a dream job but even it has downsides

[@engy6764]

Dude, I literally graduated AF BMT April 7th! I got so excited when I was going through content I missed and saw this!

[@Nic-xq1bt]

It’s 5:45 am PST just home from work now eating spaghetti and seen you posted. Perfect video to eat to!

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Oh I miss eating spaghetti. I used to eat it literally everyday before I got into trucking. Now it just takes too long to cook so I just don't make it anymore. U got the garlic bread right??? Gotta have the garlic bread. And the meat be Italian sausage. Absolutely delicious!!!

[@Nic-xq1bt]

@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY garlic bread is a MUST!!!

[@haroldbacker5915]

Any truck under 400,000 should like new if you take care of it

[@rishikpillai1296]

You have the best trucking channel hands down

[@KD-wx4vq]

Really enjoy your post you’re such a kind young man keep up the good work be safe

[@darklordchris]

Ooooh the New Truck looks so sweeeeet! Also you could have filmed on base at the graduation, that's very common for people to do since it's a graduation. Now if you were just aimlessly wondering around the base filming, someone would have stopped you. But congratulations to your brother!! (Hopefully he has a good job he will enjoy)

[@lorettanapish1278]

Nice truck Alex.. u deserve to drive in style! Be safe.

[@SnarkNSass]

Watching that tight squeeze at the beginning of the video made me think of the Walls lining the freeways here in central Arkansas... 😬 Yikes that's terrifying. ✌🏻☮️

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Yeah the walls are terrifying. Themirrors on the truck stick out so I get super close to hitting the wall. Anytime I see a wall on the shoulder of the right lane I just drive in the middle lane to avoid hitting it

[@thehostvr4467]

His truck only has 40 miles? It's practically brand new

[@calmuuu]

Hiya Alex, another moment of joy!

[@MuscleMindConnect]

Love the video, great insight by just showing what you have to do and go through!

[@kamazenji9466]

That new truck is super new man. Thanks for the video Alex a little clear view on that ELD pretty cool.

[@bmo14lax]

New vlog let's GOOOOO. ♥️ Stay safe buddy

[@justinsbuilding5303]

Nice new truck man keep up the good work

[@tylerddh]

I like these videos because i feel like it gives an accurate depiction of how my first year will go. WHAT AM I DOING? Lol

[@davidtrejo352]

Welcome to my hometown Alex careful out there they drive crazy out here

[@firefighting.responder]

Hey Alex did your new truck have that wonderful new truck smell ????

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Yup and if I see 1 crumb on the floor I immediately grab the vacuum. Lol

[@LT.X380]

New subscriber. Good luck with your new truck. Drive safely my new friend. God bless you 🙏

[@MrJana596]

This is so relaxing

[@Muggleston]

Love the longer video format.

[@OriginalGangsta337]

I love seeing the behind the scenes of the shorts, keep it up

[@smalls1661]

Love those vlogs keep up the good work!

[@WideAwakeGamerYT]

Please do more longer videos i love them!!

[@18wheeler77]

My company is just before that loves! I’m with TNi

[@lionl8250]

I don't never driven a semi truck but I still love eating your videos. I guess it's because I understand your love for the roads lol.

[@cleancutamerican]

Love the long vlogs. Keep on trucking!

[@stewiegriffin289]

You need to ask or demand a raise a big one I just realized you have quite a bit of followers and it seems like a lot of guys are wanting to get their CDLs you are a great advertisement for whatever company you are driving for I would tell them to double your pay or you're going somewhere else take it to your advantage 👍 you would make a great recruiting tool

[@Jeragon186]

I thought the freightliner was the new truck this whole time

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

It was a new truck but I traded it in for an even newer one

[@MatthewBaran]

I love the longer videos!!!

[@wadelevan1787]

Wow, I thought only the next gen had the digital dash. I guess that last few of the original models came thru with the digital

[@spencerallegra]

Congrats to your brother!!

[@xxP1ST0LER0xx]

0:15 it’s because of the back trailer sway. I work for that company.

[@DaimyoD0]

Congrats on the new truck.

[@cptndedsprw]

Instead of always looking for a different empty trailer tell your dispatcher if they're willing to make it worth your while to drive the trailers to get fixed, some companies pay up to 300 a day to haul trailers to get fixed that way in the long run there's more trailers

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

Congrats on the new rig.

[@Coastal._1228]

When he was leaving the loves after the usaf base it honestly reminded me of a impound lot

[@simonmajura]

You gotta get a electric scooter 🛴 to get around the truck stops!

[@Mac1_]

Pov long vlogs are the way forward

[@stewiegriffin289]

Word of advice if you ever end up calling manure or straw stuff like that from ranches or big parks make sure you are not hauling it for a drug deal mushroom plants places like that that use fertilizer I had that happen

[@1caesar]

Congrats to your brother

[@mikestettenbenz8743]

My cousin graduated in San Antonio from the Airforce the other day as well

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Eyyyyyy yeah we went to see the Alamo. There were a couple other airforce graduates there too

[@NoName_vs]

congrats to everyone who is early and who found this have a good day

[@littletroble_07]

Bot

[@18wheeler77]

I see you did go to Variant! I see them all the time.

[@sloppyjoe400]

Brother made a smart move going Air Force

[@MilanRandjelovic2211]

Give us a tour of the new truck, do you like it? Greetings from Serbia!

[@Fungamer4570]

You shoukd buy a $50 dashcam and put together some clips of bad drivers plus it will help you keep driving record clear if someone cuts you off of break checks you

[@tammystewart10]

I was driving with my convertible top down and I passed one big truck i sensed was harassing me. So i tried to speed away for couple miles on interstate but got caught in traffic coming in the city. Unfortunately he caught up with me and I got stuck with another truck in front of me. So I got sandwiched in very close between 2 big trucks in a tiny convertible. I was pissed! Thought about my middle finger but not worth my sanity. Do you guys get a kick out of pissing regular small joyful drivers off? I'm thinking of getting a cdl just to see what's the mentality of truckers.

[@blacklivesmatter7154]

Notifications squad show some love

[@Slyfox9785]

Dang only 40 miles and you passed though my town in Troy Texas to get to Dallas! Man you should come to my work and get your truck washed out or washed if you ever come back this way! I work at all American tire and diesel in Troy come by sometime if your in Texas!!!

[@Naillig23]

This video was 9 minutes long but it felt like it was 2 min

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Ahh well then I did my job well. Thanks for the compliment

[@KatGammer]

I really love these vlogs!

[@robertboydston5834]

I like the new longer video format

[@alanlehman5166]

Live in San Antonio. Postive i was a few days shorts of my delivery there. I’m delivery help for a beer company and i had a route with that truck stop

[@aaronpeddicord2944]

I hope you are safe after the tornado

[@thatguyalex2835]

It seems like tornado season gets pushed further earlier. I remember hearing on the news the season starting in May, now it starts in April. Global warming my bud... Tornados in November and March are a thing nowadays... :(

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Nice would be fun. New truck waiting next video

[@kunalsingh_yt]

I ❤️ that colour, Your truck colour is awesome 😍

[@judeespinoza7554]

Texas is crazy I just missed a Strom that had a tornado in it

[@robertarunarsirakul9923]

0:13 "Jeez, that guy got close." Me: Looks at the trailer wheels and realizes they didn't even touch or go over the rumble strips.

[@itsmejordan8699]

You should do more videos like truck routines

[@Kirogonnasad]

Love your vids :>

[@quackatit]

Some people ask if the company even allows videos. Just think of it as a free recruitment video

[@Juan.2ss]

That loves truck stop in San Antonio he parked at, is literally down my street 😂

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Eyyyy well if u saw a truck enter through the "exit only" then that was me. Lol. I couldn't find the entrance

[@Juan.2ss]

@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY you go straight through the intersection it's through the back of the gas station lol

[@lucasferguson8029]

I see you are back in a kenworth

[@blz480]

More longer vlogs like this 👍🏻

[@yossid422]

Love the video. Make more of these

[@marcminor7049]

Now we know who you drive for.👍🏾

[@kingjay7930]

Man really said that’s crazy about that 40 miles on that new truck lmfao

[@rudranegi8165]

Appreciate long vlogs

[@brianyoung5792]

Alex you make driving a truck seem fun but I have been driving a truck for 15 years so I know it’s not fun

[@briansolorio4968]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didint you just get a new one recently?

[@nervouswreck392]

How do you like the intransit?! Does your company provide navigo?! Mine does and it works great ‼️ it's Taylored specifically for our routes exactly. ✔️

[@Mosesinmusic]

Please make a video of the new truck 😍

[@zacwellman2245]

Your videos are amazing I whant to be a truck driver when I am of age

[@josesandoval9635]

Hey man love your videos ! Have you ever delivered a ashley distribution center trailer before ?!?

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Yeah a couple weeks ago actually

[@josesandoval9635]

That’s cool man keep pushing the great content 🙏🏾

[@robertogonzalez4254]

Am a truck driver too and I see the you have a 2021 cascadia

[@hallwest9650]

Those bad drivers are the ones that complain about truck!!!

[@garynez2828]

You dropped a trailer at the Home Depot DC in Houston? I ran loads from there for a couple months with Werner. I always parked on the street there and would do my 34 hr resets there too.

[@notapplicable4567]

Congrats to the airman

[@izzymanwastaken8640]

My brother was in San Antonio texas for basic training in the airforce

[@venados65]

Hello from San Antonio!

[@zyortabz9282]

Good day sir.. new subscriber here watching from Philippines! keep safe and Godbless

[@CLUTCHITZZ]

I’m from Lafayette, Louisiana man if u ever on 90 be careful bro love your content 💜‼️

[@jacob5014]

Man, i love all of your video, But can you do like 15-20 min video, That would be better i think, and i wouldnt mind waiting 3-4 days for a longer video

[@sjfk1306]

Uh…. When you’re bobtail, you leave the red brake knob pulled out…. That’s why it’s beeping at you…. 🤦‍♂️ 4 ways on the highway…. Fail. Can always tell a rookie dropping a trailer. Don’t hook the crank handle when you drop…. Leave it hang. Use your airbags…
