Welcome to the brotherhood. Stay humble, Stay Professional, Hustle and get that paper. Been in the game 15 years. Trucking can and is rewarding if your willing to put in the work. Stay blessed.

[@danalansdowne1413]

Congrats. Never be afraid to ask one of the old timers for pointers. Always respect the truck.

[@waschuckiehere7120]

When I started in 1979 I couldn't even imagine such a ride. I started in a 1973 GMC ASTRO 95 with a 318 Detroit. Take care of it ,enjoy and be careful.

[@dr01434]

My first assigned rig was a 1985 freightliner cabover with a Cummins big cam 400 pulling a set of doubles m-f from LA to Blythe. Loved every minute of it, felt like I was big trucking!!! In those days a guy can go 15 yrs with same company and never get a brand new rig. These days seems like after six months a new rig is the norm.

[@xxP1ST0LER0xx]

What company? Is it still around?

[@Arizona_Vineyard]

Im with a small company and they like to give out new trucks every 6 months. Sometimes 4 months. It’s a pain in the azz to keep switching trucks. They are trying to get me in a new one now… I just got the one I got!!! I keep avoiding them because it suks

I just subscribed to your channel there driver. With your attitude you will make it no doubt about that. It’s good to see new drivers getting new equipment. I’m retired from years of trucking and loved every bit of it. Looking forward to your videos, Best of luck to you and your new career. “Double D”.

[@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures]

There ya go, Congratulations Man. Hopefully you received good training. Respect the truck, remember all your load securement. Take it easy especially just starting out. Always be aware of your surroundings. 4 wheelers do crazy things around trucks. Focus & be the Best Driver you can be.

[@Chrisknows859]

TMC is one the best companies that gives great training. That’s the least of his worries.

[@harold1901]

My first truck that i bought was a 1978 International 4070B Cabover Big Cam Cummings with a 13speed. I started hauling containers out of Newark,NJ up to most of Rochester,NY area for Kodak. In one yr i end up buying two more trucks which was Mack Superliner and over the course of 33yrs had 22 trucks with dry vans,flatbed, reefer. Along the way ended up getting my own authority mc#,us dot#. I will say it was a challenge through those years. I retired in 2017 at 51. Drive and Be Safe out there!!!

[@pipeman4707]

Sir I congratulate you staying tru and hustling to achieve your goals in life. Take a moment and listen to what I have to say. I've been in trucking since 1993 . One thing I've learned is to trust your own self. And don't hang out at Truck Stop's. Run hard to make paper. Because im a West Coast Flat Bed trucker. And i love it. Again congratulations 🎉🎉 to you and pay attention to your surroundings never let someone put you in a situation that you are not comfortable in. And you will have a great carrier. Real Talk 101 !!!

I’m looking for a regional flatbed driving job and so I really am looking forward to working for TMC

[@charlesmooneyham7653]

Great Company and beautiful trucks

[@theoregontruckerT880]

My first truck in 2013 was a 2007 freightliner Columbia with a rebuilt engine out of a 1999 peterbilt that got wrecked. And I only got a new one because California didn’t allow old engines anymore so I got a brand new freightliner cascadia with 49 miles on it. Now I drive a 1995 Kenworth T800 that’s on its second engine and third transmission but I love that old truck

[@scottbtraveling1444]

I just happened to find your channel. Congrats on the new CDL and new Pete 579, she is a beauty for sure! You seem smart and levelheaded and I'm sure you will have many, many safe miles ahead of you! Keep the shiny side up and take care. I look forward to your future video's.

Congrats! Their trucks are some of the best looking on the road. I'm looking to get my class A by the end of this year and been doing a lot of research on where I'd like to start. I saw TMC and I think I'm going to look elsewhere at least to start because I think jumping straight into flatbedding might be a bit hasty as a new driver.

[@etovar863]

Yes sir nice Congratulations took me 15 years to get a new truck with the same company

[@CorporateTrucking]

Idk his situation but no one is on a higher pedestal than the other starting out your hard work and dedication that you put into the company in the training when they’re weeding everybody out that’s what matters I had two military dudes in my training class got sent home the first week one for immaturity and the other for insubordination they keep notes on everything you do from the hotel room to how you dress how you behave and someone told me they know who’s going to make it to the year or who is just gonna quit after a period of time and why give a new truck to someone who’s not going to be there long term or it could have just been the luck of the draw regardless TMC has met all my high standard of employment.

[@just-incase3483]

My first truck was a 1993 white gmc conventional with a 36 inch integral sleeper, my last truck was a 2016 Volvo daycab.

[@samporter8290]

You’re lucky when I worked for Roehl transport I was there about a year and never even scratched my truck, it was about 3 yrs old when I got it then they sold my truck and gave me an older truck that I took one look at and told them to tow it back to the junkyard, I didn’t expect a new truck but I did expect something better and after I argued with them they gave me a better truck but it still wasn’t a new one but it was ok,

I wish I could get back in to short hauls but I don't want OTR, I'm too old for that stuff. Hope you get your experience, don't believe that you can't move up there as an owner operator and get pay increases either. Thye are a stand up company. So God bless, be safe and I wish you all the best!

[@williamvangorden44]

I've been cross country OTR, I can say I was with it was great to me greatly appreciate CRS T, For giving me the opportunity just a hip I could stick with it or not Honestly as a team driving it can't be that bad. But everybody is different I'm gonna say that I myself didn't want to risk injuri'm or be in a part of risk Probably would have stuck it out longer if my shoulder was not hurting for whatever reason It must have been somewhere when I was sleeping on the bottom bunk While somebody's driving. I think That I had a Pinched nerve for some reason I couldn't drive for no less than an hour before my hand went numb that was a concern for me red flags went up and I said OK this is it and I wasn't waiting to stick it out and find out that it was going to be a Problem and in short I left. And nothing against the company they're I recommend them as well CRST. Team driving is there a requirement if. And also things you ought to know when you're on the road. Backing is not the same as you were taught in school. I'm just going to put that out there. How comfortable are you with 1 weather, 2 day-and-night? Three How you are going to handle downhills downhills steep grades and curves. These are the things that aren't mentioned. How you can handle heavy loads and light loads is going across the country. And for you newcomers Jake brakes remember that down shifting remember that if you're ever panicking and you forget Jake break downshift when it's safe to do so downhill you don't wanna be over 55 miles an hour Especially in the mountains and you don't want to be using your brakes If you use them too much you will burn them out so get used to using your jackbreaks why is it while you're in traffic just slow you down or down shift when you're in traffic They get yourself an idea on how the Automatic on how it works Because you do not want to be going down a mountain at 55 miles an hour with no clue using your brakes smoking them to no end And trust me those Jake brakes work well And so does down shifting Is two Lower gear especially when you're Descending. The other thing don't Tailgate other Give yourself A comfortable distance while in traffic and when it rains don't be those idiots that do 7080 miles an hour and think nothing is going to happen Don't be that idiot even if you have 80000 pounds on your truck don't Do that leave space between you and the truck in front of you give yourself an out. Adjust your speed safely, and always assume nobody knows you're there. Always assume that. And I don't know how people got their driver's license from, but they need a real Valley. Ware your evaluation seriously. And if you're one of those drivers in a car that speed that likes the tailgate do not bring that to driving trucks and big rigs Because that would be a dumb idea on your behalf just be safe out there slow down be aware And assume they don't know you're there And watch the traffic flow Don't get close truck car doesn't matter don't get close when you're on a interstate or highway. Always Pre trip and post trip. Be safe out there, guys. Oh, and if you can't see, pull over to the next truck stop or somewhere safe. And be aware of high winds. Especially when you're under 20000 pounds. I won't take much to knock that truck over. Just be aware of that, too.
