Why are you always hiding that thing near the bord I think to model or what ever it's written there

You said what are they thinking because your cooking in your truck stay chill there are many Truck drivers that does that 1 2 your loki your in Amerca Try cooking in a European Truck your grill it's way to big you dint have enough space your microwave the same story your fridge it's a bit bigger than ours and idk why but I think your truck are Brighter than ours so you can sleep easier if your a tall person like me 1.90M Man I'm so pissed I can't drive one of those Still I want a quadratic truck not Round like yours

How much money do you make from youtube?

[@lloydvanpraagh7569]

I think Alex makes a good side income from youtube....Plus the good road companionship. His numbers are impressive: 587K subscribers 11K views on this video in 9 hours with 1K likes. Unfortunately, his audience demographic is not a highly lucrative one. Started August 2021. Alex posts frequently and consistently. My guess: At least $1000 per month up to $2000+

[@alquarius86]

They don't include the stops needed for gas, traffic and weather. They give you destination and the end.

[@smartass5599]

Alex what do you mean three fuel stops you should fill up every day you never know what might happen you might get breakdown you might get caught in a traffic jam because some idiot wrecked and it closes the highway for a day stuff like this happens or you might get stuck in snow or weather other weather

[@jamesmoody9363]

CORRECT!!!😊

Some large corporate trucking companies such as Swift and US Express choose when you stop to fill your rig you have no say in the matter I don't know if the company variant that he works for is the same but most likely they have the same rules he's not an independent truck driver with his own rig he's a company man which means he has bosses who have bosses who have bosses that make decisions

Would it be a good idea to put a back up camera😂 im currently in the process of gettin my license and the one thing that scares me is backing up in between other trailers/tight spots

[@vincestone5465]

Don’t be it’ll come. Everyone starts out somewhere. Use all your space and go slow. Slow is always better. That way you can correct it. And when backing at stores or warehouses. Put your windows down that way in case if you nick something… you’ll be able to hear it lol. Everyone has their good ass days with backing and then some days where you just struggle

[@billtalbert6165]

Some sound advice , work on your backing , being able to back successfully at shippers and receivers is vital. Also no matter where you load regardless of if they have scales always get to a CAT scale , always move towards the problem area when shifting to get your load legal. Take your time out there don’t get in a rush …..that will get you in all kinds of problems. You are gonna be just fine out there. Be safe and keep the shiny ✨ side up driver.

Umm, when I cook, I always put a lid on the food in order to conserve the heat and to shorten the cooking time. Also it helps to keep the food from drying out. Sometimes when I have the lid on, I will splash a little water onto the hot cooking surface which creates instant steam and that seems to help cook the food.

If you forget, always move the tandems towards the weight you wanna take off

Most (not all!) companies are going automatic. They're easier to drive and maintenance cost is low for the new CDL drivers. These new up to date auto are easier on the truck's engine, drive shaft and transmission.
