Waking Up At 3 AM FOR WORK! The REAL Life Of FLIGHT ATTENDANT

[@JettingJulia]

Wooooh this was an early one! Thank you everyone so much for watching, I hope you all have a relaxing and peaceful Sunday! ❤ JJ Watch part two in Costa Rica here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWGtgmh4Z7CGjc0si=7n8rl9EJJpe9eEZJ

[@davemyers3953]

Morning. I drove truck for 48 years. You have no scheduled hours. Things have changed huge. Most of my hours were 24 7 days aweek. Terrible scheduled . Get home from a run would sleep on the couch for 10 hours hard. Thanks for sharing your life with everyone. Happy trails.

[@mikeseamon6788]

I think I speak on behalf of everyone else who watches your videos, but your positivity is SO radiant, Julia! No matter what time of day it is, you always find a way to stay positive and upbeat, and you do an amazing job of putting a smile on my face and the faces of so many others! I hope you are enjoying (or enjoyed) Costa Rica! Have a great week and keep smiling! 😊

What a kind comment, thank you!!! 😊

[@NancyAnderson-nt8bm]

My husband is a truck driver. Not gone for long periods of time. Usually overnight or 3 or 4 days out. Doesn't usually drive during the night. When he gets back he puts his name on the list and gets dispatched according to where he is on the list. No set schedule. But retiring soon!!! Yay!!!!

[@Comedy4cast]

It's actually kind of nice to know we're all working on the same lack of sleep when we finally make it onto the plane for early flights. Wish you folks had more of a chance to rest during the long flights.

[@andreweppink4498]

As l think l mentioned earlier, l'm a retiIred Marine Engineer. Around the World several times. Loved it. But, get older. Climbing Ladders etc. Becomes more difficult. So l retired from Military Sealift Command in Apr. 2014. I love trux and figured l'd get a Class A lic. which l did from CRST "Crustie - Cedar Rapids Steel Transport". Love OTR trucking also. It's identical to tramp shipping in bidness model. You go where dispatch gets contracts. Thus been alI over the lower 48. I much prefer W. to E. Too crowded back East and LOW BRIDGES! Crazy. RealIy gotta watch out! Drove mostly dry vans (53' trailers) and some reefers. Delivered one tank trailer. You take what comes along. Usually ran about 9 1/2 hrs./day (an Old Fart's shift. Younger guys do longer, up to 13 hrs - legally mandated max). I loved it. Got to get around, see people. Would've loved to have 😮 driven in Mex., Canada & AK. but never did. There are Husband/Wife teams. But teaming is difficult. Sleeping in a vibrating tractor is difficult. Drove for a number of yrs. But age. That too becomes difficult. Staying alert and awake becomes difficult. So, retired again. Now just any jobs which come along. Done mech. & electrical work (BSME) alI my life so there's always something. 76 years now. So there'Il probably be an end to it someday. Any questions pls. Iet me know. Sigh... only thing l missed was RR's. Would like to have done that also. I can't complain. Been a lucky man.

[@joseadorno292]

You're always so sweet and bubbly! We love your personality Julia, never change it. That view in Liberia was amazing, and the hotel room looked nice too!

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you so much!! I try to keep positive attitude.

[@recycleman2900]

Hi Julia. I live not too far from you in Huntingdon Valley PA. I haul heavy construction equipment on a 53 foot tractor trailer. I start 5:30 a.m. and finish whenever the schedule is done for the day. Was just in Doylestown last week delivering. We start early to get a jump on traffic like you do. My driving radius is about 150 miles. I see lots of interesting places and real rural towns as well. Keep up the great videos and give Luna a belly scratch for me.

[@OTRTrader]

Hi Julia! Kinda long read about my trucking lifestyle, but hopefully not too much, it's about 1 min. 30 sec long of a read, but it sorta documents things about my trucking life in a bit of a nutshell: I have been an OTR truck driver for around 33 years. Scheduling is very irregular, and in some cases, we have to wake up at outrageous times to make deliveries that are only accepted at maybe 3am, but thankfully it doesn't happen daily. My job has taken me from Fresno, CA to Lewiston ME and back to Bakersfield, CA in the past (that happened only once), but for the most part, I can be found going from California to any of the southeastern states, or the Midwest and Northeast region (like New Jersey or PA). I'm not married, nor do I have kids, so because I consider myself to be a "free agent", I sometimes stay on the road for 2-4 months at a time. Yes it does get lonely, and during one particular period of time more than 4 years ago, depression became "dangerous" to the point where I needed to do something, otherwise... I managed to dodge the "you know what" (figuratively of course) after a few changes in my lifestyle and some added activities and "ventures", and now things are going extremely well for me, and guess what... Life is good! Talk about overcoming danger though, LMAO! Trucking is a very interesting animal, and that animal has many different temperaments that one needs to watch out for, but if it's done right, a person can become extremely successful. If you know someone, go on a ride-along with him/her, I think you would enjoy it. BTW, one more quick observation you might find interesting: If you ever see a truck taking forever to pass another vehicle, chances are that the truck trying to pass (and the one being passed) has a speed limiter programmed, which can normally be anything between 65 and 72 MPH. This is the case with pretty much most of the industry, with the exception of some small Owner Operator fleets. Hope that covers some of it at least LOL!

[@ChinaDollTravels]

3 am wake up calls are the worse but you make them look not so bad 😅 especially with miss Luna by your side she’s such a sweetheart

[@JohnStaskowski]

Yes, I’m a truck driver are usually start to three in the morning I do some overnights hotel room. I love the early morning hours with no ones out.

[@justinlawrence6840]

I am a truck driver. There are several types of drivers, which governs how long drivers are away from home. Local drivers, usually in larger cities are normally home every night. Regional and dedicated drivers are usually home on weekends. Most drivers are OTR (over the road). They haul general, irregular freight and are typically away from home for 4-6 weeks at a time, then home for about a week. That’s what I do. Hope this helps.

[@andrewfegely31]

Hi Julia, I am a truck driver my mornings start at 10:30 pm. I am probably one of those trucks you pass on the why to the Philly Airport. Like you, I have time limits and often time out where I have to stop for 10 hours before I can drive again. For the most part I am home everyday, but on occasion I do stay out overnight in my truck. June will be 19 years as a truck driver, the first 2 years were the hardest, little pay and away from 1 month at a time. Anyways, love your videos, been watching since just before the covid shut everything down. Thanks for the entertainment and the fun and beautiful videos.

[@teresayoung93]

I actually worked with an FA who used to tag-team truck drive with her husband! it was a while back so I don't remember what she said about their schedule, but I thought it was interesting that she went from trucking to flying!

[@sandyhall768]

My husband is a truck driver. When he was over the road he would get an assignment and he could go anywhere across the country in Canada. He was in Tennessee on 9/11. Currently he works local. He gets his start time the afternoon before and then he gets his load assignments the next day. He works up to 14 hours a day.

[@Lucke462]

First off I’d like to say love the channel. I’m actually working through the rest of my ratings I need to become a commercial pilot. Watching your videos gives me a better insight what the flight attendant side of the business is and how everyone works a flight together. I do currently drive a tractor trailer. I mostly run locally so I’m home every night and weekends. But for a lot of the OTR(over the road) people, it depends on the company. Some can be away for days or weeks at a time. Depends on what the company’s needs or loads are. Theres quite a few moving parts to make everything come together.

[@tahneedowns9285]

Hi Julia. I love watching your channel and contribute that to earning a CJO last year. So, thank you so so much! In answer to your question regarding Commercial Drivers. Some of them drive across country and can be away from home three weeks at a time. There are regional drivers that can make a turn and be back at home each night or out for three to five days with a weekend or two days off. It really depends on the Company or account they are on. Sometimes, they have a little flexibility with their schedule and will strategically plan their trips to avoid heavy traffic in larger cities. That might be why you are seeing so many at 4:30 in the morning. Hope that helps. Thank you for all of your great content and positivity.

[@JettingJulia]

So interesting, thanks for the response!! And congrats on your CJO, thank you for watching! ❤️

[@andreweppink4498]

CJO?? JOURNALIST CERTIFICATE of some kind?

[@AnnieGSinger]

Hi Julia! Here’s a quick question for you for an upcoming video: When you get to an airport to work a flight, do you head straight to your gate/aircraft and meet the crew you’ll be working with on the plane? Or do you have to “check in” at a specific airline base / office type thing, and then all go together to the aircraft? Weird question; I know! I was just wondering! Lots of love from New Zealand! (where you don’t work flights to 🥲)

[@MarthaCreations]

Hello Julia, my hubby is a truck driver and he always leaves 2 hours before his travel time so he can make his unloading appointment because if he was to miss it he would have to wait around until someone can unload him. We are in the hay business delivery to dairy farms etc… I love your channel.

[@The_Dudester]

8:10 Julia, just yesterday I started binging on a YT channel (Inji Rodriguez), who is a New Jersey based trucker that regularly makes deliveries to Philly. She explained that her company moves freight at night because the traffic is much lighter (she works 7 PM-3AM).

[@acb59475]

My dad was an over the road truck driver. You make your own schedule based on when during the day you want to drive. You just have to get the freight to its destination at a certain time. My dad chose to drive at night because like you said there’s less people on the road. And…Magnolia Parks….I HATED that book! I couldn’t even finish it, it was so bad. And I LOVED gossip girl! I’m glad you like it though, the reviews seem like you either love it or hate it.

[@JettingJulia]

Ahhhh I actually ended up stopping magnolia parks! I liked the first 100 pages then I just couldn’t get into it anymore.. it was so repetitive and there was NO plot! lol. 😂 and I loved gossip girl so I was disappointed!

The question I just thought of was about dealing with travel visa’s, is that something your airline just tells you if they need your passport for any of that process?

[@carrieann5714]

My dad was a truck driver. He drove regionally which means he typically stayed within 100 air miles of his base. He was home every night. Some drive long haul routes. My understanding is that their hours of driving are dictated by the department of transportation regulations.

[@juditmihalovits4641]

Hi Julia, just wanted to let you know. You said something in your video about if someone knows a truck driver. My husband is a truck driver. He drives PA, OH, VA. He usually have to wait in truckstop or the place where they load him up. He sleeps in his truck. Because sometime he goes away for two weeks or so. ( I know one thing I won’t do what he does) ☺️ I know every job has a positive and negative side. I think your job is more interesting than his. Take care , Julia, keep a the good videos.

I am a long haul truck driver and drive Canadian and run Canada to the USA funny thing my husband is American and is from ND so we own our own truck and trailer and have a second truck that have been running single .

Truck driver schedule Vary by company and the what type of work in the industry you do. I am a local driver. I sometimes have call in days when we are slow.

[@hobbiespr]

Gasoline truckers can work 24 hours a day, of course not the same employee, dispensing gasoline since most are open 24/7 and that's what they do here in PR. I know what I'm saying because I worked in an area related to them once.

[@jm0lesky]

I'm not a truck driver, but rather a railroad engineer. Typically, railroad workers (I'm speaking for conductors and engineers) work on call and are subject to be called 24/7 365 days a year. We can perform service up to 12 hours before we outlaw. That is we can work 12 but then stop until we are relieved. This is called an Hours of Service law. Afterwards, we are placed "on rest" for 10 hours before they can call us again. I'm wondering, are flight crews subject to similar laws and restrictions?

[@JettingJulia]

we have similar restrictions, yes! For us it depends on the time of day we start and if we are flying domestically or internationally. Typically we are required to have 10-12 hours of rest in-between trips minimum and our max duty day is usually around 12-16 hours.
