Chez, it's nice to see that you love your truck driving job, and love watching your KZbin and I will subscribe cause you remind me of me drive and done driving in 2015. I also am retired from the military and are 100% disabled and like seeing young truck drivers like you, and the companies I drove for from first to last, CRST -SUCK, PRIME - GOOD CO. and AVERITTE - AWESOME CO.. And my grandson 26 is a truck driver himself so take care my friend

[@LJT7907]

Biggest thing I will tell you if you are thinking about going into being an owner operator. Is never do a lease purchase from a company. If that is something you truly decide you want to do later on I would highly recommend getting a truck through a private Leasing Company. The problem with doing a lease purchase from a company like Swift for example. Or Schneider or any others....Until you pay off the truck you are stuck with that company unless you decide to walk away from the lease. They will not let you work for anyone else if you are doing a lease purchase through a company.

[@ACE1866]

Your videos are great. You can and should do daily vlogs. Your life, your family plus trucking. New and different for the KZbin community. Give me a like on this post if Chez should do a daily vlog.

[@chez8239]

Not a bad idea at all haha😊

Chez, I grew up in Carson before the mall was built...." WEST SIDE D.A"..seeing you driving down those streets brought back memories. Stay safe young man. we might meet up on the road...driving for Mays Trucking!

[@RyanDoonan]

I got my CDL back in 2017 cause of doing American truck sim went to roadmaster in Tampa and 2018-2019 almost 6 months drove for Schneider and got let go cause I had 3 preventable accidents accidentally tapping a light pole at the oc then running over a gate post with my trailer turning into a receiver and then when picking up an empty I unlatched the door on the passenger side after they checked to make sure it was empty and I had to move forward to close it cause I was to close to the trailers and the door missed hit the parked trailers and had a lot of hard breaking and stability control there is time where do I go back out on the road to try it and SFI is part of Schneider but just wondering if I should or not but to get my trucking fix is American truck fix also when I drove I would start around 2:30 in the morning to end early and one thing I saw was not getting a cat scale

[@chez8239]

definitely worth trying again man (:
