You can be on the clock 70 hours in an 8 day period. Stop lying about how much you 'work'. If you get 2800 miles a week and 1 run is 1500 that gives you 4.5 days to get another 1300 miles.

You are only limited to 70 hours and still being able to drive in 8 days

[@CHRIS-tg5cn]

No, no u dont work 80 hours as a truck driver. There are federal limits on how much u can drive daily. So, those hours u consider as ‘working’ where you’re sleeping at a truck stop isn’t ‘working’. So if you’re sleeping 8 hours a night x5 nights =40 hours. So take that off your 80 and yours at 40. Stop being a whiner.

[@billping2633]

Fox news should have looked into his videos a little more. I watched a bunch of Alex vidios to see his story. This guy is the type that gives truckers a bad reputation. One his latest videos he doesnt route himself right and goes down side streets with 5 tone weight restrictions in residential neighborhoods. He damages people's trees and laughs about it. Would you like it if your trees get damaged? Then he doesn't know how to slide his tandems and is constantly running out of air because he doesn't know what he is doing. Then he blames the truck or his gps for his situation. Not saying he is a bad guy. But I think he is a recruiter not a full time driver.

[@blessingmafodya4544]

Yaaa I stand with you I saw his video blaming his new Kenworth t680 for loss of air brakes I think he is not a professional he must restart his CDL

[@Andr3w73]

I think he did a video a while back that talked about how much he makes in trucking. Wanna say it was around 80k a year. However the guy really is a penny pincher. Cooks his own food on the road, uses a loyalty card to pay for showers, etc. He has a really good head on his shoulders for someone in his 20s, and I believe he will retire early as planned even if he didn't have 1M+ subscribers on KZbin. Not sure how he ended up on Fox News, but his channel is definitely worth checking out. No politics or drama, just this guy talking while driving about his day and his outlook on life and stuff.

[@dertythegrower]

Remember, the majority of truck drivers work 70 hours a week with only a day and a half off. While you may "see" many places, you won't have the opportunity to truly enjoy them. It's important to do thorough research before obtaining your CDL.

Long time fox fan, also truck driver. While I agree with a lot of what Alex says, someone at fox should have done some due diligence. This new breed of content creator truck drivers is extremely dangerous. Using phones and creating videos while driving is a no no. Anything that is considered distracted driving is literally against the law as a commercial driver. Talking into a camera, looking up at it 20 times a minute and waving your hands around will cost you your career and maybe some people’s lives. I’ve seen some of his videos and I’m telling you this dude takes both hands off the wheel while driving more times than I can count. Do your content when the truck is stopped. Use the GoPro when you’re walking around or sitting parked. These KZbin rookie truckers are going to get people killed. The FMCSA has very specific rules regarding distracted driving. I only drive for 3 years otr, but I saw dozens of accidents with people talking on the phone and filming videos while driving.

It's a great job. There's a twist on why this job is not a secure one. This career needs to be revamped up and quickly. The salary base is not worth the job duties you are doing on a daily bases. This career is been on a decline for so many years. Has anyone been inside a tractor trailer. Picture an air plane cockpit and you're driving it by yourself. Truck drivers make 90% less of what an air plane pilot makes a year. It's a career that's in need of a massive infrastructure boost to make corrections to these workers lives for better efficient and smarter balance than ever before.

Skilled labor jobs pay really good...like CDL drivers, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, stone masons. Even the technology sector and government can't operate without these skilled people.

@@TimothyMcVay What field are you in?

[@TheeeeLastToFall]

@@TimothyMcVayI would just uplift her skill whatever that may be and yes lots of women truckers.

[@dertythegrower]

Mike Rowe teaches this and should be a weekly contributor to major networks.. all of them

[@dertythegrower]

​@@TimothyMcVayelectrical engineering, or pipefitting. can do it anywhere, and make nonstop income.. even if you dont know their language overseas they hire a pro pipefitter when needed or electrical work. Math is really needed.

It's great to see kids following traditional trades, but one problem with this is that liberals will continue with the college route and they will be hired for government positions and without conservative voices in college and in in government they will then secure long term power.

[@ttcc5273]

Liberals are crying because they are being crushed for saying "Trump is selling Bibles like a two-bit con man!" 😂

[@drhotchkiss]

He is a two bit con man

[@wavveytae4181]

We need to celebrate people that are doing trades and not these degenerate influencers that think they are gods.

Go Alex !!!

Love you Alex! Stay safe 🙏🏻 you are very inspiring!!!

[@MrBglk101]

Maybe a good job but he needs to tell you the downsides of trucking.. Miss every holiday and family events.. The lonely nights, Not be able to control a situation from the road. Also if you're married or with a girlfriend, Your spouse will cheat on you.. This job will ruin your marriage..

[@craigdarby9533]

Drive local and get paid by the hour. You're going to be touching freight, but I look at as getting paid to exercise.

[@truckers4yeshua]

This job only ruins what you let it, and if it is that dynamic in your life, then get out! It is that simple. This is not everyone’s story. Stop speaking for everyone. The high suicide rate is due to people not having Jesus where they need Him, not this job. Doctors have a high suicide rate too. Get help! Stop letting things control you. Get control of your life.

[@elir.torres8642]

I have degrees in software engineering. Cant find a job since 2019. Thinking about a CDL A. I cant be homess. Pay has gone up from the pandemic. In 2020 you made $1200 a week now I see my brother making $1,800 a week local. Thats almost $7500 a month or 80+k a year. No other jobs are paying this not even im IT 45-55k is. You are however trading meeting someome, making a life, having kids. And enoying your cars and home. You are trading alot. Is it better than retail and factory jobs yes. Will you always have a job? Yes! Will you be homeless and unemployed no! This is a job you pay for student loans, a down payment on a house, business, then bust out. Its not a forever job.

He'll retire, get bored, then he'll find a job to pass the time.

Say you're golfing with a guy at his private golf club who has tried to sic his mob on judges, DA's, court clerks, political opponents and perceived enemies .....would you try to beat this guy or let him win?

[@drblitz3092]

OTR is good for experience only to go local later. Or you have a fetish for trucks. That’s it.

[@squidgame2146]

If you dont drive MANUAL , you are not a TRUCKER

[@snapfinger1]

There are many special skill, labor intensive jobs that you can retire from early. I’m 72 & retired at 55.

[@Rassy636]

Good job Alex ! P.s … there is no trucker shortage !

[@sedrickwilliams2343]

Nothing in trucking is free and trust me you want be vacationing when you out here trucking most truckers on the tube is looking for clicks and selling a pipe dream…. And if you think that’s not true just investigate driver retention at these companies and if it was so great drivers would stay

[@StevenCombs-dy1pt]

Skilled labor is the way to go I've had a skilled labor job all life and I'm set up for retirement at the age of 45 I have a house 3 cars a bank account with almost 1.5 million. in 5 years I'm done im gonna chill and let the interest pay my bills and enjoy my life

[@ThatGuyThatFarms]

I have always wanted to be a truck driver or a train conductor cause it would be cool to do that.

[@noname-fn6cp]

Explain the emotional signature. 🧐🤨🥵

[@superoffended6737]

Guys making 65k yr. And he thinks hes gonna be rich. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@spudrubble]

$65k a year, 401k, medical, dental and he doesn't need to pay rent or utilities driving a 2020 or newer vehicle at all times not buying fuel or insurance and a social media side hustle to boot. Yeah if you dedicate the time and are wise with your money that boy will retire young. The more years under his belt the higher the pay per mile and more in demand he is. $65k a year is entry level new drivers, there are company drivers making over $100k a year.

[@dertythegrower]

He has no expenses besides food costs. Most people making 65k are forced to get home, auto, and so many more bills.. and they are rarely home to use it all
