[@18wheeler77]

29:40 Alex, you should really be in the habit of pushing the red button right after you connect to your trailer before you go back and check your tires and lights. Because you need to make sure the air bags go up and the loading support jacks actuate up. I’ve seen so many trailers where the load jacks don’t let go and you have no suspension. Or some times the air bag level rod is bent and the airbags don’t go up.

I’m getting into truck driving in these videos lower my confidence in wanting to do it think I might just drive a garbage truck

[@Blacklabels686]

@@jonathancoleman6482 I think the biggest take away from these videos is that Alex prioritizes making videos over making himself a better driver. This job isn’t that complicated he’s too busy narrating and using his flashers and things to make more noise and make things appear to be necessary and give the viewer the illusion that a whole bunch is going on when In fact nothing is going on. He uses tools to remove seals on trailer that you can easily remove simply by hand in two seconds yet he has to go into side compartment for crap again to give that illusion that this hard job is taking place. He is not a good driver and it really is shame GP allows this poor reflection on there company. He admits to breaking law and visibly commits violations in his videos. Even at one point saying ( good thing that cop didn’t see what I just did) knowingly doing wrong yet still prioritizing his videos over the job. I wouldn’t let this one channel be your determining factor in a career however garbage truck driving decent. Be home everyday and find cool stuff sometimes people don’t want anymore. That choice is yours and yours alone. Just know that guy in his own little world is not a good representation of what GP is as a company especially the drivers.
