THIS IS THE REASON I DEADHEAD?

[@tanuki379]

Sitting for four and a half days without getting paid is ridiculous. You made the right decision 👍👍

[@chokoramoja]

Thats every job. Feels like its only one way. Not both way to worth together. I guess its business only to them . I do same in deadhead for family alot of times . But its good to have dispatch that works with your deadhead and listen to you . Our culture is to make sure our elders are taking cared of. Good for you and its a blessing.

[@chrisvance8374]

Don't worry about what other people think. You do whatever is better for you and your family. I live in Ohio but I was in Miami for 2 days couldn't find anything paying good so I dead headed to the house lol..

[@larrymoreno3142]

You take care of you and your family. You're a good man Jorge. Also I love the new way you change the background during your conversation!

[@cajunman2261]

I total understand your point with deadhead miles. I think you should go into flatbed. There loads all over. I never have problem getting loads. But everybody different what they want pull. I have at least 3 buddy's was in tanker and they said same is you to much dead head.

[@AlanSextonVT]

Your head and heart are both in the right place, Jorge, God bless you man!

[@jeremyneal5267]

Family comes first no mater what. You do what you need to do.

[@chilidog1]

Hey there my brother Jorge!! You do you man. You know what is right and best for you and your family. FAMILY ALWAYS FIRST NO MATTER WHAT. I left my UAW job at Ford Motor Company back in 2004 after 9 years up in Michigan to come down to Florida to help care for my Mom & Dad as my Dad was battling his own cancer. It was heartbreaking to leave my Ford Family, but I felt it was the right thing to do. I got to spend the best year together with my dad that we had ever had together as he passed a year later. Yes, I took a major hit financially and went to my still current job with no benefits whatsoever, but that's ok. That last year I had with my Dad is absolutely priceless. My new Goal is getting into CDL school to be an OTR driver and moving my Mother to a better state with a better life and home. I will be 50 years old this year, but I am determined to make sure she can be somewhere safe and happy for the rest of her days. This deadly virus has put a damper on my original plans, but I WILL, and I MUST make this work for not just myself, but mainly for her. God Bless you Jorge, your Dad, and your family as a whole through these trying times, and I truly from the bottom of my heart truly wish you and yours the very best. And may your Dad kick this cancers butt!!!! You WILL make the right decision, and your family here on KZbin will be with you along this journey. Peace my friend! ~Ted

[@creoleking6658]

Good video. Surprised that they can't find you a dedicated out and back from Texas.

[@richardrodriguez9098]

Good morning Jorge! I can totally understand why you do what you do and it makes sense. Family is very important and sometimes jobs need to understand that!! Be safe out there brother!!😎😎

[@Nopalesgarage]

Hopefully everything works out for you and your father have positive thoughts you will be happy with your new job and your dad will be a champ in beating this cancer!!! 🙏🏽

[@Tomcroese]

Yes, thas good! Stay on! Good bless you!

[@northernliving2387]

I so Sorry to hear about your Dad☹ Prayers to your and your family

[@mr.mrs.hernandez6676]

Praying for you my friend. God bless you and your family always

[@taffyjones57]

Hi, Jorge. What a great video. Yes you do make sense brother. At the end of the day, it depends on what you think is best for you. You take care of yourself and your family, as they are very important. Keep the pedal to the metal and keep on trucking and making great videos. Thinking of you, best wishes from Dublin.

Saludos viejo recuerde la familia es primero dios lo bendiga a usted y a su familia

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

Last message. I tell you this much. It dont make sense for every tucker on the road who stays on by force for weeks and months to make $500 to $700 a week, maybe 1k as a company driver ( not every driver, you know who you are) When thier is local work that pays that much and home everyday Working at: Local driver Chemical plant Amazon FedEx UPS Maybe uber Thier is alot of work at home that pays just as much as a company driver and they home everyday Why these drivers out here. Thier are millions of reason Some are: Gain Experience Divorce Lost everything Enjoying the open road to see USA Best they can get with thier Physical Maybe to get away from the wife and kids for a bit Many more reason But to me I say it dont make sense for them to be out there when that same money is at home But they do it. Just saying . I didnt like my pay the first year driving but my goal was to gain Experience, get a local job. Now I'm always looking for the better deal, better pay for my family and home time.

[@larrydavis1722]

My though and prays for your family 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gavinomirelez4079]

Don't let them step on your toes bob n weave great video safe travels

[@18wheeler77]

I don’t know why, but I always love driving bobtail. I guess it’s because I can pass trucks left and right. Lol. I would’ve done the same thing. My company does it all the time. And I’m sorry about your father. My father passed three years ago from complications to Alzheimers. I was blessed to be home for a week while he was in hospice.

[@806Driver]

Glad to see you stepping back and getting the big picture, either way you go you will do great, you have a great work ethic and a good level head... Good luck with your decision making brother 👍🏼 plenty of footage and content as a Flatbedder as well bro 👍🏼

[@g.moreno579]

Keep up the good videos .. Praying for you Dad 🙏🏽.....

[@tyzemke4381]

My man. My first video of the day, not a better way to start. Stay safe and strong 💪

[@Coachisms]

Praying for you and your dad.

[@nighttrain3926]

totally agree if it dont pay no way , it dont make sense to wait or pull it, ur better off takin a good out bound then mt home

[@ramondfox6327]

My 425 B model cat only burns .49 of a gallon per hour. If you set 2 days then you might as well wait for a load.

[@arbynoneedofanymaps5472]

You'll never get the time back with your dad and family. But there will be more loads

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

Also when you in Joliet and you gonna be sitting for awhile. Ask if you can run local Run some Chassis loads. Better then nothing

[@superfly4137]

Spending time away from home and family and in a tin can cabin container in your truck days at a time should be the single sole reason why trucks NEED to be paid BANK. It is very hard out there beast mode style. Not everyone can do this job period. And because the economy DEPENDS on truckers. But mostly because of the SACRIFICE these people make. This sort of stuff goes unrecognized far too often and people need to be aware.

[@lourdesgonzalez9823]

love your videos

[@lumberjunkee8451]

Hope things work out for you......👍👍👍

[@bigbear867]

When it’s slow I will dead head home. But I can find loads most of the time with landstar. God is good all the time

[@MAX999MAX]

[@marksierpinski2943]

I would have done the same thing buddy, your family comes first.

[@saulcarballo4850]

Cepp up brother lot blassinn to u en family

[@ronaldarmstrong6760]

Man Bro i would do the same thing Bro some time i half to dead head 400 to 500 miles just to get my next load

[@tonyblackburn5002]

Man now fuel is dam near double wow how things have changed in 3 yrs

[@ericsoles1055]

do you have your own authority to find your own load from a load board

[@thistruckerslife]

Well Done Jorge. Great explanation of your view.

[@hotttstuff2010]

Will u be able to keep hot chocolate I hope so she's a beautiful truck

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

Bro, run local when you have special events. You had alot of event's in 4 weeks That whole talk with dispatch that you trying to demand. I been thier and done it. Never changes . Every week is a challenge. Will it go my way Will I make alot of money Will I be home Will the truck make it without costing me money That's how it is at this job

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

Yes you right it doesn't make sense to sit forever. But Come on bro In 4 weeks you had alot of events going on that the company couldn't get you back home . Fathers birthday Father's Day 4th of july What you need to do when you have special events comming up Or You trying to be home more often Call your dispatch and let them know you wanna run local. Doesn't pay as much OTR but 2k a week to work around Houston and be with the family daily or weekends is better then Burying yourself in debt with fuel / truck payment and wasting time sitting at truck stops Sometimes it pays to work local. You dont always have to go OTR to make the big money. We are short handed right now for local drivers . Try local for a couple of weeks and see what you think of it I ran local for 2 weeks to be home for special events. I was home alot and still got paid and was Not in the negative. That's what I do with this lease purchase

[@Angel-zp8tf]

Saludos Jorge es como te he dicho Family First yo ni saco la cuenta me voy y ya 😂 !!! Así sea hasta 1 día. Un abrazo papa yo estoy pensando en vender mis camiones y volver a Chofer de compañía ya estoy cansado de todo lo de owner operator te drena man

[@03focussvt943]

I always find it funny when Hispanics talk in perfect English then go balls out when pronouncing their names. Makes me laugh. Anyways, good vid. Keep on truckin!

[@ATruckersLife]

I really don't see the humor in this but to each is own.. I would imagine that you are proud of your name as am I. It's not about going balls out It's about saying it correctly and with pride. This has definitely been one of the strategies comments I've ever read on my channel.. Anyway thank you for your comment and safe travels...

[@carlosrivas1097]
