Congratulations on getting your C.D.L. u r on your way now brother.Enjoy your time off with the family.You will be 1 of the best drivers they have ever seen come through there I have no doubt.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I appreciate that Kennedy, I am looking forward to getting back out there after this home time and learning even more from my new trainer!!

[@rickyhawkins7407]

Congratulations on obtaining your CDL. I was very proud when I passed my test. Don’t know who my trainer will be, but I was told they are from Ky. Looking forward to starting the TNT portion of this process.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Congratulations Ricky!! It’s a huge accomplishment in life and it’s something you will always have it you do the job right. You will always have an opportunity no matter where you go in life. Much success to you sir!!

[@rickyhawkins7407]

Funny, I was supposed to be in your orientation class starting May 13th. My youngest graduated from HS May 17 and we had the celebration of that event on the 26th. No way I could miss that. So I postponed until June 3. The video about orientation is very helpful. Luckily I am older so I have everything I need together. I am actually retired from a career in public safety, so after 32 years starting my next career. Good luck sir.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Ricky Hawkins you will be apart of the first class under the new guidelines for training. Will be interested in your thoughts once it’s done.

[@raysteffen602]

Listen to him as far as getting out of truck! I kept my left door shut and hauling ass 24/7/365 ! Made lots of money for the company, running 2 and 3 log books working 70-90 hrs a week, married and divorced 3x in 18 years, Drove OTR for 30 years hauling swinging meat. Now the doctors have told me that I'll be lucky to make it to my 55th bday in 2 years

[@darylwinn8868]

I took my training years ago and went to work for CRST. I soon found out that trucking just wasn't for me and I wound up quitting. I didn't like being away from my wife and I got a huge case of truck drivers blues. It really surprised me when I heard you say your were going to get into trucking. I have to say that I really enjoyed your corvette channel and it made me want one even more. I'm going to be 70 in August and I still want a Vette.

Glad you are home. Learning a lot from your adventure. I will not ever be a OTR truck driver but still enjoying learning what the life is like. You are an inspiration. Love your attitude and positive energy. As always God Bless!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

That means allot Craig. I have always wanted to drive big trucks and because of the success of my garage door company I am getting the chance to experience this opportunity. I won’t be a OTR driver for long but wanted to experience it before getting a local gig driving so that I can be home daily and get back into a corvette. Hope your son is doing well with baseball. Young man has some serious talent especially at beating you in hoops at the arcades. 😄👊🏻

[@jimmitchell2873]

Chuck, looking at the alley dock and your description of the testing brought a (hopefully useful) thought to mind. I frequently sit in truck stops and watch drivers back into open parking spaces. Its really OBVIOUS who is a new driver and who the seasoned ones are. What you were taught regarding the test is fine for testing. But every space is different. Surely Smitty will teach you to adapt to the circumstances. If you can changes a 90ⁿ back into a 45ⁿ back because you adjusted your set up, do it. You passed your CDL. Nobody's testing you now. Make it as easy on yourself as you can. Enjoy your time off. That's what I'm doing, too.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Jim, you are absolutely correct. That alley dock is seldom used in the “real world”. I used the 45 the majority of the time when backing at shippers and receivers. We all start off new but with practice get better and better. If I don’t have to back I don’t. Pull through is your friend when you can do it. I could careless to be a backing stud. 😂😂. I appreciate you sir.

Chuck, I can't thank you enough for posting these videos! I've been seriously considering getting into trucking for all the reasons you laid out, but such a huge career/lifestyle change comes with a great deal of fear and uncertainty. All my research had yet to find any reliable firsthand accounts of what to expect. You really helped answer a lot of my questions. So thank you for being my canary in a coal mine. If you're ever passing through Kansas City let me know. I'd be happy to buy you lunch and pick your brain!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

This is definitely not for the faint of hart. Glad you made it sir!!

[@AlbertMaruggi]

​@@TheTulsaTrucker is your logic to have a CDL so you'll pretty much always be able to get a job, whether that's local or OTR? I ask because I'm 60 years old and my research in my situation is that trucking pay increases as you get experience and older unlike a profession I'm in marketing or videography where wages and competition have driven revenue opportunities down. Thoughts? thanks

[@bigholli8449]

They will try and run you like a robot. It’s just the nature of the business. I had a dispatcher who started giving me loads that the only way I could get the load picked up and delivered on time was to load at night during my 10hour break, when I should have been sleeping. So I would only sleep a few hours and hit the road in attempts to get the load there on time.

[@lawrencethegoodsaint1129]

Hey Chuck just to cure my curiosity what’s the average pay for a cross country load?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Depends on what you are hauling, where is the shipper and receiver located. Like Florida to California won’t pay jack maybe 1.20 mile if your lucky. Now from Cali to let’s say New Jersey it can be over 2.00 a mile. So 5-6k

[@osvaldo554]

Once you get a bit more experience as a driver, you should join a local driver such as LTL , you make good money. If you don’t want to do P&D (Pick ups and deliveries) you can do linehaul, driver meet switch trailers and come back same day. That way your home everyday with your family.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

That’s the plan Osvaldo, doing OTR 12-18 months then coming home to do LTL 👍🏻

Hey Chuck, really enjoy the channel! Quick question, did you have a automatic restriction on your CDL when you got your license from Prime?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I did have one but I rented a truck and went down and retook my backing and road test in a manual to get it off my license. The vast majority of LTL companies will not hire you with the automated restriction.

Did you go to the DMV for CDL test or prime have their own examiners?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Prime has their own

[@AlbertMaruggi]

39 hours to wait for a load, hell you can run to another state and return! : ) Even if you have to stay by the truck plenty of time for fitness. Issue is as a company driver are you sitting for a day and not getting paid or did detention pay kick in?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

The waiting in Trucking is horrible

[@AlbertMaruggi]

@@TheTulsaTrucker but may I ask, at 39 hours you are getting detention pay right?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Albert Maruggi depends on the customer. Detention pay doesn’t come close to what you would be earning driving. What allot of these customers do is move the pick up time which causes you to miss out on detention pay. It’s a huge game and the drivers never win.

[@AlbertMaruggi]

@@TheTulsaTrucker whoa that's not right. There's a difference between whinny not fair, and dang not right. Plenty of stuff is unfair that people can't do much about, but when it's not right that's different. I feel the same way about zip code to zip code pay. I mean with all the technology in the industry truckers are still getting paid zip to zip? : (
