On The Road With My Trainer | Vlog | Rookie Trucker

[@lcswartz49]

I am a former trainer. The only thing that I seen that your trainer didn’t tell you to do first of all when you hooked to a trailer you tug on the trailer don’t just look up under the trailer at the jaws and say it’s OK. Secondly, when you’re backing up, always put your four-way flashers on no matter if you’re bob tailing, or if you have a trailer one other thing you need to buy a tire thumper you just cannot look at tires and tell they’re not flat or not you have to thump the tires every time with the tires thumper other than it did you both did a great job Just remember to do this and Remember dispatcher or not your friends all they care about is getting that load off the board in front of them so don’t try to be friends with any dispatcher. I told you earlier that I was a former trainer I have more than 55 years experience of driving and over 4 million miles. Good luck to both of y’all hope to se👀see on the road

It is fun to see people entering the trucking field… Ive been doing it for 32 years so far, it has changed a LOT, but yet, you still drive, move freight. Biggest thing I can say is dont rage quit, dont do things impulsively, that includes while driving. Let everyone else be the idiot assholes who end up being featured on youtube bad drivers. Courtesy goes a long way, particularly with the veteran drivers. We do notice those who are safe, not blocking fuel islands, not being aggressive in driving. Dont rely on your truck nannies to get you out of situations, YOU are the last line, and as long as you are smart out here you will be fine. Also, no question is ever a dumb one… just my 2 cents!

[@TikiTheTrucker]

I appreciate the comment and the insight Caleb! Thank you! I'll definitely keep all that in mind while I'm out on the road solo!

Very informative video for new drivers on what to expect, I’ve been driving for 14 years, my advice is get 1 year company driver experience and then go owner operator! 💯 enjoyed the video❗️

[@TikiTheTrucker]

Thank you Joe! Getting my own truck and going owner operator is definitely the goal. Do you recommend leasing your truck to a company or starting your own authority when starting out?

[@joelopez2348]

@@TikiTheTruckerNEVER EVER TRY A LEASE PURCHASE WITH A MEGA CARRIER, It doesn’t matter what mega carrier your with or how good you think the company is, it’s a scam‼️ but for being an owner operator I would say for the first year or two you should find a good company to lease your truck under for 1-2 years and then start your own authority, but if you watch “justtruckin” on KZbin he started his authority and bought himself a truck straight out of CDL school without even working for a company. Basically it’s all about if you believe you can do it or not, last thing is no matter how much you hate trucking at times being a company driving DO NOT QUITE, when your owner operator you’ll have all the freedom in the world do whatever you want! I wish you good luck on your trucking career brother✊

[@frankywebon]

Hey Tiki , great video! Just wanted to let you know that Schneider puts safety above everything and regards videotaping while driving a truck as distracted driving. So don't tape yourself driving the truck or Schneider my terminate you. There are other videos on KZbin by Schneider drivers that can confirm what I'm saying. Good luck!

[@angelito2038]

Hey bro, how you feel about being only one week with a trainer. Most companies do 3 to 4 weeks over the road, and Schnider being the few that does 1 week over the road. I personally feel 1 week on the road is not enough when you are new.

[@TikiTheTrucker]

I personally feel like they could do more than one week with a trainer. I definitely learned a lot being out within that one week, however taking that information out with me on my own has become a game of "remembering" rather than "repetition". Here's the thing though, if you don't feel comfortable after 1 week of training, you definitely have the ability to let your driver leader and trainer know that you definitely need more time training, and they will assign you another week of training. Christian, the girl I was training with, decided that she needed more training time and she requested to go out with another trainer. So Schneider is sending her out with another trainer. I hope this helps bro! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Drove otr for around 5yrs. And drove for Schneider part of it, bit of advice get a pilot card and save up on it. I was able to buy a cooler for 80$ and a cb with the money I saved up on there. It's free money, you don't pay for the fuel, doesn't seem like much but if you don't spend it, it can add up. Good luck otr, and be safe, driver.

[@TikiTheTrucker]

Schneider actually gave us a pilot card during orientation to force us to claim those rewards points. I'm definitely not touching the points for a while and saving them up for sure!

Eventually I quit because it was just way too long of a time to spend with another person for so long in a small cab. But.........I got to see about 46 of the 50 states, so there is that.

I'm an older lady, who has thought about getting a CDL for the last 2 yrs. I'm single with no kids. I wouldn't want to do this full time ( 60-70+hrs. week). I want to have some semblance of a life. Honestly, I'd be scared driving on mountain or steep roads. Especially on ice/snow. I moved to a small town recently where some of the roads are extremely steep and it scares the bejeezus out of me. I work well by myself and really enjoy driving and I am a safe driver. I can't afford to waste the nearly $5,000 to get a CDL so can I ask some of the older drivers out there if they think it's worth it to get a CDL if you only want to drive part time. Also, please tell me how you go to the bathroom in your truck if you really need to. I have no problem asking because I want/need to know. I'm not a real girly girl, but I do like to keep clean and fresh. Thanks everyone.

[@MNPonyLady]

Hey Carol - I don't have info for you since I am just getting into trucking. I'm 57 and have had a Class B CDL for about 20 years. Just decided this spring to take the plunge into class A. The way I look at it is I'm going to give a one year commitment to a local trucking company with an excellent reputation. If I absolutely hate the distance hauls that will end my commitment. If I love it, I'll continue on. If I end it, I can go to local hauling. So for me I look at it as a great experience. As for bathrooms, I live with a composting toilet now and have for the last four years so I have no problem carrying a small one in my truck.

When I trained for Schneider I was constantly giving tips, experiences especially in winter weather. And asking a lot of questions to see if you have the basics of everything down pat. He just didn't seem very interested at all, Day to my students will drive at least 475 to 550 till I took them back to the OC. Looks like you got short changed.

Love your video, you cracked me up , when you said that you weren't leaving your stuff 😅😂❤❤❤

It looks like your trainer was doing everything for you (like fueling and pre-trip). Did he have you do things yourself and guide you through the processes? I feel like the hallmark of a good trainer is guiding you through the job with ample commentary while you do the hands-on work so you get a really good feel for what things will be like on your own.

3 in a truck for a week haul??? Yeah, nope. Not for me. Doing my truck license now (called class 1 where i live.) Thank god its also a one on one training. Me and the trainer. Not some nonsense of being 5 in a truck taking turns. When i start working if they put me with a trainer I'll suck it up, im however already prepared to walk away if theres the potential to be stuck in a truck for a week or more with more then 1 stranger. I always wanted to be a trucker because i can work alone. I work fine in a team but I rather fly alone. Also ppl these days are really f up. Selfish, self-centered, rude and simply not fun to socialize. Anyhow, i also rather drive alone cause according to societey im a pos. So much so that even mcdonalds wont give me a job. Sucking on tax money for 10 years. Off-ing myself is a recurrent idea. Finally being able to work will be nice. In a job i actually want to do also. (I have a job lined up where i dont have to show a record proof so I'll just lie. Im in the process of getting it suspended but that'll take another 16 to 24 months of waiting for a response. I tried doing it the proper way, it's like i always say; there isn't room in this world for someone thats 100% honest. I tried, im su*cidal now because ppl put logs in your wheels when trying to be better.) Long bla bla to short bla bla, dont need to sit with ppl that will only judge and judge for a week stuck in a box. I have become highly anti-social, for a reason. Society turns ppl anti-social. Its pathetic. Im seriously out of F to give also when it comes to being friendly and/or helping others. Why should i keep sharing my candies when no one will share with me?? - quote by my brain.

California is good not much of a real bad traffic considering I've been out there I know it's interstates in the LA Oh also been We're fast and furious I've been in that loccasion that is pretty cool especially when you're like oh Hey wait a minute this looks familiar oh c*** this is where they took the The movie fast and furious at When they were racing the charger in the Is rice burner On that same exact street. The one where he rolled of Car off the truck Where they were trying to beat the train. Gonna admit that was pretty awesome. To have been there. But being there and you look around nothing is going on just dead silence looks like any other street but that was the same exact street The railroad crossing the industrial Area and that traffic light is right there too where they started at. It took me a second Or 2 and I wait a minute this looks familiar. I don't remember what I was picking up a load from that area. And What just happened to go down that Pedicular street. My trainer didn't know what I was talking about..

So you don’t sleep on the trainers bunk? I get my CDL next month and planning on going with Schneider. If that’s the case, I’m excited about training lol. I’m not a fan of LIVING with someone

[@danielfernandez5806]

Bro, I'm considering beginning training for a CDL and I found your video very insightful as to the day in and day out lifestyle of a rookie driver. Thank you.

Ooooo buddy as somebody that used to work in Loss Prevention at a Hotel/Resort I can tell you that those kids have just cost those parents and the hotel A LOT of money and have a permanent mark on their stay now. If they ever visit that same "brand" of hotel everybody is going to see that note attached and they'll more than likely be kicked out and banned from all locations in the future if there's ANY sort of trouble or complaint about them again no matter how small.
