You should always vet a route as a truck driver before taking it. Trusting a GPS 100%, especially one that doesn't look like a trucker GPS as a truck driver, is like trusting that a $1 lot lizard won't give you a disease.

What happens when you're late for an appointment as a truck driver is the either get you in really fast or you wait for hours until they call. If you show up on time for your appointment, you will probably wait for hours while they get around to unloading you. If you show up early for your appointment, you usually wait hours before they get you unloaded.

[@shaun2318]

[@time2chill121]

Exactly thanks for the truth. I've shown up on time so many times and they said I had to wait. I show up late and they get me in a lot of times. Trucking is backwards. These guys worrying about every little thing out here need to take a chill pill. If you're equipment is good then no need to even stress getting around or if they pull you into scales. Too many guys out here just create their own drama. It ain't that serious guys.

Alex, when you’re taking a load with barrels of unknown substance you better start asking questions. Shoppers sneak and sometimes forget all the paperwork. If that was hazardous it’s on you. Just because you’re new (2years) to driving you need to understand what’s in your load is your responsibility to know what the heck you’re hauling. Stop with the, your words “I don’t care what it is”. Not bitching you out just trying to help.

May I make a suggestion. The Garmin is a great gps and yes it shows truck routes however the Overdrive Pro GPS is far superior. It will show only truck routes along with weight limit roads and all bridge clearance heights as soon as you enter the address not when you get close to the bridge. It is a bit costly but well worth the price and much more accurate as it will perform automatic updates when connected to wifi or bluetooth. Just my two cents for the day.

[@Tyrie3790]

I think Rand McNally would be too complicated for him he’s had garmin for a while I had a garmin before it hit me with a 24 hour update went to Rand McNally never looked back

The Garmin is okay for the highways, but get into the city and it will send you to hell real fast. I think I'll check out that OverDryve 8 Pro.

I’d honestly recommend Trucker’s Path. It’s constantly updated, reveals truck stops, weigh stations, clearances, weight restrictions, etc. And it has an active community that leaves reviews and tips for any difficult areas.

My best advice for you or any other trucker call the location you are delivering or pick up loads if you running late like weather, truck problems or heavy traffic. I used work a a place that we wait for a load that day and don't receive a call because of truck problems or other things. It not our responsibility to call and ask where on earth is our load. Before you say well you can track it no the company I work at doesn't allow us. It should be truck driver responsibility to notify us when there a problem like running late. Always say I'm sorry I am running late because of X reason and I be there at this time and if I don't make it that at time I will call you again.

[@carlbernard4197]

Have done that many of times when I was running late. Kept the receiver in the loop and still got unloaded when I got to them because I made sure they knew what was going on and where I was at. 😊

Atlas for your routes and the rule for unmarked bridges is they have to be state minimum which most minimums are 13’6”. Not 16’. No states minimum is under 13’6” so anything under must be marked but an atlas would help you with all that. Doesn’t matter what gps you got always quick reference the route roads to the front pages of an atlas where you’ll see roads with restrictions and low bridges.

For sure you need to start to pay attention to what's in drums. I can tell you as someone who handles them on a daily basis and loads them in trucks to go from Michigan to Texas. There can be some really dangerous stuff in them and you need to watch to make sure you don't get yourself in trouble. Especially when it comes to paperwork you need to always make sure it's all there shippers will try to avoid doing that. I don't know how many times I have to get in contact with shippers about this so I know the load is ok. Plus they are always heavy that's another thing with drums and sacks of pounder they are always heavy as shit even if it's only a small amount of them.

@Bone_Thug I wonder what happened.

[@plantmanstudios]

​@York22 he whines and complains in every video. He is a drama queen boy. He hates trucking but he won't admit it.

[@dootscoot1324]

@@York22 because im pretty sure he got in trouble for being on his phone while the truck was in motion on a public road. Pair that with the fact he disappeared again, reuploaded old videos and deleted them. I think he got fired

[@billping2633]

I would say he was fired. I am familiar with that area. He drove through a residential area with clearly marked 5 ton weight restrictions on the way out. Plus damaging trees and laughing about it coming in. Not a good look for the company. There is one way in and out delivery trucks. He went in the right way but out the wrong way because he followed non trucking GPS. He also doesn't seem to know how to slide his tandems and keeps running the truck out of air for too many reasons to list.

[@TheBrumley91]

As a driver myself. I never relied on when my GPS said I would be there. I figure up the miles to drive and figure out how long it’ll take me to get there. Now if I’m driving through a big city. I leave even earlier.

For such a fancy truck seems like it still has issues like 25k dollar truck. Ill stick to pre 2007 myself. Don't need all those computer chip issues

[@markallan9347]

There is no way this lad reads the comments either that he doesn't care ? Why is everything so slow your late for everything and even when late you still take the piss fastest I seen was 21mph then you block a gate for what seems like 10 mins to get straps off to be honest you don't need straps you don't drive fast enough to make them fall your employer must be fucked off with you and your driving and that losing air is you pressing the break to the floor changing gear trying to manoeuvre trying as your not the best at it

[@anthonyhugger5447]

Wow.. these comments tho… keep truckin alex! The only way to get experienced is through time… all these veteran drivers will never admit that they made mistakes when they were younger drivers also. It must be wonderful to be a veteran driver and be perfect…. lol safety is number one, there are many things on the road drivers as you know that make us late. Many factors… instead of bashing, Alex, why don’t you guys try to offer helpful suggestions so he learns. Keep up the good work! Enjoy your videos . Hugger😊

I’m a rookie and I don’t make as many mistakes as this guy does I’ve been driving over 2 years now and most of the things he messes up on is common sense it’s not just veteran drivers that say that 🤷🏽‍♂️ a good truck driver will see mistakes he makes that shouldn’t be made. Simple.

At 12:00 for his turnaround I feel like cranking out to the left in a big arc, then back to the right to back the trailer into the side row with the blue bay doors and parked flat bed. Plenty of room to get backed into there, then hug the blue doors and turn out to the right to exit, instead of going farther in.

If the Government Fed. DOT's won't to help trucking. Make shippers and receivers have a person who is late or early nights and weekends. This would keep the freight moving. Plus, they could start out on a new week.

Why didn't you leave the same way you came in? I don't understand that. Get your head out of that GPS. That GPS will send you down roads that are meant for cars in Chicago in the means of getting to your destination quicker. You make the job way more difficult than what it needs to be.
