trucking in new York

[@ArcadeGems]

"Meat without feet" 3:18 LOL great company name.

[@carlosmanquera1462]

I appreciate your advice , I'm starting off as a flat bed next week your the realest truckdriver on you tube.respect

[@mikerizzo7750]

Biggie!! Love all your videos. And I’m not even a trucker. Haha. One day maybe.

[@nancyrogers3395]

We need more safe drivers like u out their ❤❤❤❤ God bless u❤❤❤❤❤

[@redbluffhill1]

Good video Trucker Brown! When i was trucking your approach was similar to mine. Also leave after midnight if you can. The camera captures those vicious bumps in the freeway very accurately too! Hope all is well and you still out there doing the damn thing!

[@7thhour100]

"Speak from the hip" as in "fire from the hip". I'm a fan, man fr! This is as far as I got in the videos tho so I hope all is well. I'm a guy who made the decision to drive a truck *today!* because I'm single and I wanna REALLY challenge myself (I already know how to bake) aaaand COVID gave me, umm, a clean slate in the job department lol. Not like I was doing great before, but I digress... So I'm watching KZbin videos about trucking and then stg my cousin who's a cop and can fking do anything is like "hey let's drive truck. I'm like "you son of a bitch! I'm in." I can do anything I set my mind to through God so now I'm watching your videos, absorbing as much information as possible. This one really helps because it shows it can be done so I can do it! Thanks alot!

[@mpfworld2750]

Good share and knowledge on the game . Stay keeping it real .

[@esthermarye]

Love video's like this. As an European driver I've been to the Paris and Berlin city centers. Trust me those cities are an nightmare for a trucker. (small old streets) Would love to drive a truck in the states.

[@deewilson529]

The middle lane usually has the greatest ckearance as well. A great video. He puts safety first.

[@Scotty.813]

YESSIR you took this one out the archives 😎

[@Infernal_Hellhound]

I’ve been an otr driver for a little over a year now and have been to most of the major cities with NYC being one of the exceptions and the one I have dreaded going to the most. Found out today that’s where we are about to head to and have been trying to do a lot of studying on how to tackle that beast and your video has given me a much needed confidence boost for the trip and I wanted to say thank you that. I will take your advice to heart

[@andrewhunter6742]

Shout out to u Trucker Brown. All your videos be solid and to the point advice. Bout to get my permit.

[@LM-sc8lu]

We're a lot smaller, and amateurs to boot. I drive a Chevy Duramax, 4Dr dually, and we pull a 44' fifth wheel with it. But, we drive exactly the way you suggest. My wife keeps track of maps, the GPS, turns, lanes, etc. I just watch my mirrors, cameras, and try to go with the flow. If I'm in the right lanes, and traffic grinds to a halt, we just sit and wait. We're retired, and clocks mean nothing to us. Been at it for over twenty years w/o an accident that was my fault. Worst city experiences; Harrisburg, Pa, Buffalo, NY, (missed a turn and wound up on a few side streets.) Fayetteville, NC, some of those streets were laid out by drunkards. Many more, but they come to mind. Nice video.

[@captaingrizzly5698]

11:45 ---- if you look to your right you will see the infamous Brpnx River Projects... home of the Zulu Nation and my hi school was right up the block... shout out James Monroe HS... the #6 train... 174th st

[@b3l423]

I drove 20 years around NYC taking inside lane with a semi is a straight asshole thing. Do not do that. Go middle, go right but never the inner. Let cars go there. I do give a respect to all trucks, not cutting them etc, when I drive personal vehicle but in a 3 lane road the inner one is not yours period. Nice video and really calm, good driving. One more thing when it says on the bridge: Turcks center lane only it means what it is. You do not go any side lanes as they are tight for a semi and you still took it.... check your videa at 17:20 and please read the sign. I enjoyed to see all the turns the way you took it. I know there is one safe trucker out there.... make more videos!

[@BadDriversOfNapa]

I agree with you about cruising in the middle lane. It almost always flows the best compared to the right-most lane. In my state, the driver's handbook actually recommends using the middle lane as a cruising lane. But then there are a lot of ignorant people who don't understand the laws that think that keep right laws means the right-most lane and it isn't. Slower traffic can use ANY lane that is to the right of the left-most lane. In other words, only the left-most lane can be considered a "passing lane". The middle lane is fair game. In fact, the keep right laws don't always apply within city limits anyway, depending on the type of expressway or freeway it is.

[@Sofianellop]

U make some cool videos I’m working on my Cdl

[@huddy2588]

Hey buddy. You are a good trainer. It's really helpful to have a trainer like you. Thanks

[@jeffdeleon3567]

Been watching trucking videos for about 2 weeks just to get a hint of how the job is plus maneuvering with traffic etc, plus brings back memories traveling with my dad on his trucking route. being in the city can be frustrating enough but if you could drive a semi truck there you could go anywhere. They don’t call NY the jungle for no reason.

[@marcusthomas1980]

Awesome video brother

[@aasimbascomb6106]

This is a great video. Im from Brooklyn and am looking to drive trucks. Ive driven in ny but definitely not in a truck. It was very educational and i thank you for sharing this experience. I'm looking to go to school so this will help when i eventually will get sent off to ny.

[@TheSonjaxfactor]

New subscriber! You know your shit! You can apply your truck driving philosophy to driving in general!

[@panzerfaust5119]

Trucker Brown you got that shit on lock down my man.Everything you say is what my pops been sayin.He been driving for 46 years.His first rule is TAKE YOUR DAMN TIME!!Love your way brother.Good showin showin and lookin out.

[@jque407]

Probably the realist commentary I have ever heard.

[@shaynecureton8104]

Thanks for video trucker brown

[@johnginn3722]

thank you for this video just got my cdl yesterday and herd horror stories about nyc made me feel better about going thru it

[@mwdadrummer202]

I'm enjoying it & learning. I'm not a trucker but I will be getting out there. I watched the video

[@pattyalzawara2267]

You would be a good trainer! A lot of good driving advice!

[@MrDunn-td6bo]

I fuck's with you 100 you gave good game,,, keep lacing they boots up with that knowledge.

[@peenwalt3339]

I know this vid is old TB. But I watch because I just got my license last week. Driving scares me a bit and shifting when im slowing down screws me up bad. Especially heavy traffic and stop and go etc.. I haul Milk on back roads with lots of hills and curves so its really challenging. I drive slow and take my time even though its slower than normal. Watching you gives me a bit more confidence 👍🏼

[@entityedgenetwork2252]

People can be stupid, Trucker Brown is smart - great video sir...

[@jc-vc7xq]

The key is to be ahead of schedule. No rushing

[@mydochanakel5026]

Very professional and interesting video , a must see video.. it is not just good for New York but goog for every where you drive big rig

[@Jay-bp9lr]

my city. good job teaching.

[@escoson555]

"they are ready to die...mentally & spiritually!" LMFAO!!!!! That was funny bro!

[@godisgreat418]

Lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂

[@thinkfas]

Great video, good advice true you need to watch and learn. Experience is everything.

[@davidavery3491]

Not in the game yet but thank you B for the knowledge. Peace n Blessings

[@aaronporter8024]

I used to go through the same thing with folks doing their unnecessary lane changes when I was a bus driver !! Folks crossing the solid white line just to get in front of a large vehicle !!

[@mikerizzo7750]

I’m just learning. I may never drive a truck, but if I ever do, I have learned so much shit from you brudah! Love the videos.

[@73caddydaddy93]

Thanks for the video

[@Sanncheztv]

If you want to do delivery to NY ask your dispatcher if you can leave the trailer overnight !! DRIVE AT NIGHT into and out of NY!! Best thing you can ever do

[@jasonstrom5175]

I watch all your videos . learning some good shit from you

[@roadrash4989]

Great trip to long iland trucker Brown...go to jones beach........

[@timp8857]

I was born and raised in Suffolk county Long Island been in Florida since 2005 have my cdl 2 years now thinking of moving back to Long Island was scares me is the Bridges and making wrong turns or gps takeing u were cars only can go I like this video you made it good for someone like me to make it at ease

[@haroldcochran6081]

Really wish I found this channel before I started driving. Was watching mainly instructional videos, but this is real. I went into NYC first time with my team driver trainer. I had been in Chicago and Kansas City prior to that with my CDL exam trainer, but NYC is a different beast. You have the perfect attitude for driving and I watched the whole video even though I have been to NYC several times on basically the same route. My team driver trainer was a lot like the rushed driver you talk about. She would constantly tell me to "keep speed" and "go along with traffic" even though our exit would be coming up (I dont think she realized it). I was going literally the exact speed limit, but cars were speeding past of course. She was always worried about "speed" lol. I changed trainers when she basically had a panic attack because a cop was standing on the side steps of a pulled over truck and she was worried she was going to clip the cop with her mirror. The truck was well off the road though. It was just an awful situation seeing someone sobbing like that, let alone my trainer. I felt bad (she definitely had issues), but I couldn't team drive with someone like that. There were other odd incidents as well. Thankfully my CDL exam trainer and 2nd team trainer had your and my attitude of I'll do my thing and let everyone else do theirs. I am never late to anything, load doesn't shift, I am far less stressed. Good to know there are other good drivers out there. Stay safe.

[@machoman5469]

Trucker brown I drive in the middle lane when I'm in the city too!

[@ashleighlewis811]

I’m only 19 but I’m looking to learn all I can before I start at prime I will be there March of 2022 but I love watching these videos and learning all the tricks of the trade before I even come

[@roderickridges7237]

Trucker Brown Bruh i am leaving soon to go to school and I promise you I watch your joints to get educated and for humor, mostly for the learning. I appreciate your giving to those whom are interested in this career field. Big ups bruh!!

[@j.t.thomas890]

Yo trucker Brown good vid I'm changing careers over to trucking very soon and was thinking about how bad New York City was

[@billmatrisch4129]

Drove for 42 years before retiring. Was only in NY City a few times, spent most of my time in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo and all Midwest cities. Dallas, Houston etc, you're right most new drivers mind fuck themselves before they ever get to the big city. Get good directions and give yourself plenty of time.

[@Clintmakingdollars1]

Your video help me out a whole lot I been looking at them for about a month and now I am ready to go to school thank you for keeping it live and real

[@bleedinggumsroberts3579]

I hear you. Thank you sir.

[@haroldsteele4591]

Good driving Slower is faster faster is slower

[@chickenfriedsteak2475]

Your a positive influence

[@whitetailridgehomestead]

Good driver, smart driver. That is all.

[@dannyward8917]

Retired trucker 38 years drove the 5 boroughs and long island it will work your nerves if you let it you have to chill and you will be fine

[@thecoyote9866]

I delivered to NYC pretty much every day for 8 months. Growing uo in NYC helped me with tolerating certain things I guess. When crossing the GW stay in the left lane. When going across the 440 Bayonne thing leading into Staten Island I take the middle lane sometimes at night. My trainer was a badass Marine dude so I had to tough it out in one lane during training haha. I did it before though

[@smacknjcopwatchfreearm1124]

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@chardie63]

oh its all about big ponies n tall gears n 40 tons in the box ...gotta go... petercar w 550 n 18spd 379 big hood...

[@kerrydownard1693]

Chardie G u will be the first one to hit the parkway

[@chardie63]

been down the crossisland in the truck lol ...parkway....

[@josephrivett6158]

I've been trucking for almost 40 yrs. And the day I stop learning will be the day they put me in the ground. never forget- You NEVER stop learning !!!!!

[@Phil.A]

I've been a French truck driver for 30 years, and I agree with you

[@fazebot2405]

Use it or lose it

[@2thePtBassTuT]

The only way to drive through NYC is to .... you guessed it.... drive through NYC --- don't stop! lol

[@fyaboijay]

I watched the whole thing TB. Can't wait to join the squad. New Orleans stand up!!

[@sosabilly535]

That smart car lol....👀😂😂👍👍

[@wisco-lad]

Man wish I could run with someone like u through a city once or twice... i won't lie im a country boy. I get a tad nervous in down town larger cities here and there. Im getting better though. I always book loads in smaller citys... so many better paying loads down town though

[@Robjack1087]

Home sweet home 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@karandanielgibbs236]

U ROCK!!!

[@indycarr3964]

I'm here now because I get to enjoy the scenery, because, for once, I'm not doing the driving. Thanks for the ride along, Trucker Brown.

[@petermec8007]

I watched the whole video beginning to end @ 22:00 I actually enjoyed watching because I can watch New York without going there and the video is in good quality and I'm learning too as I am contemplating maybe to become a truck driver.

[@mwoo252]

Was your view on JB Hunt?

[@thatsonefittrucker3647]

Very helpful my dude

[@bluedanger590]

I refuse anything going to that island under $7500

[@starlord6593]

Yes I am here to learn before I get my licence and CDL school. Thank you for the good quality,

[@dennissyndergaard990]

What are you using for a GPS

[@Lyynk]

Dude no joke this video was legit. I'm not in the business YET but I always here shit about people going through NYC and something always going wrong or straight out refusing a load even going near there. This video was a huge help knowing it ain't that bad as long as you focus and don't let traffic intimidate you. Long time viewer bro. love the videos.

[@roadtoad175]

that's good stuff.. watch traffic....ive always liked to say reading traffic. I know one day ill end up in new York driving trucks but i'll be ready

[@alexjuewez1287]

Yo Trucker Brown, where do you charge your phone if you a trucker? I can't find a socket in the loading dock.

[@bigmelzhouseofheroestm9026]

Brotha you are absolutely right and exact been driving class B with the Transit for 21yrs 5 more yrs for retirement next move class A OTR ....that's why I enjoy your videos Thank You !!

[@l.w.bryant1979]

👍

[@supertrucker12916]

I used to cross that bridge at least 5 times a week hauling loads for Walmart I tried to get as many midnight loads into the city as I could but every now and then I was stuck with an afternoon load which was a nightmare and I never used GPS I use my Rand McNally Motor carrier atlas lots of fun

[@bily4566]

I want to fuck around with that rush-hour traffic

[@roland2683]

Great video and outlook, you are absolutely right as a professional driver. Keep up the good video's

[@Junebug136]

Can't wait to leave nyc. Looking to hopefully land a trucking job further south. Will try and avoid ny as much as possible. NY drivers put turn signals on but jump on lane quick. Jersey people I've been told are like Florida people, they never put their turn signals when they about to turn.

[@sojutime]

Can't rely on GPS in NYC.

[@rp2525]

I'm in NY 2 to 3 times a week all the boroughs and Long Island for certain. The key is to get in and get out. Anytime before 4am u good unless construction or accident. Stay off parkways and don't miss your turns. Good video

[@larrykbrew]

Teach trucker brown teach... The way you explained your driving skills while going through NYC will be very useful for a new driver or even a skilled driver who have not yet experienced NYC driving. Big ups.. Real talk!

[@toddreaker2298]

Toll booths. So archaic.

[@jorgerivas2991]

What kind gps are you using ?

[@georgemironrs5588]

I've been driving trucks in NYC area for 20 yrs..great advice trucker Brown !! Real pro

[@Minalover100]

If everyone drove like you, there'd be fewer accidents on the road. Thanks for the vid.

[@Slynell1]

keep bringing that real shit mayne

[@samstoner4984]

LUKE IT

[@sincere1996]

Welcome to my city man, I am not a trucker but I enjoy your videos. All the best @truckerbrown welcome to the big apple.

[@johnd4348]

I'm not a truck driver, but your advice is golden. This is how I drive. Stay in my lane, drive slow and let others take the risk of driving like they have a death wish, just to get some place 5 minutes sooner.

[@kingwill7799]

John D ......well said & I agree 👍🏽

[@red.rightreturn111]

You seem really unhappy and disgruntled. Do you like your truck driving job? Are you OTR? How about dump trailers or tanker trucks? A lot of dump trailer and tanker truck drivers go home at the end of the day.

[@drewgilchrest2700]

Be safe they driving sucks up there god bless you
