If you are a business owner or know of a business owner that would like to tell their story on what the journey was like becoming an entrepreneur please email me at alexthetruckingguy@gmail.com with "Business Owner" in the subject line. If you are a videographer in the Chicagoland area and are interested in working with me contact me at alexthetruckingguy@gmail.com with "Videographer" in the subject line. Thank you all for this incredible journey. I am truly grateful for everything you guys have provided me. My life is just absolutely insane because of you! You made my dreams come true. I can't tell you how blessed I feel. It's just crazy. Also, I know a lot of the fans that have been with me since the beginning might feel disappointed and or sad because of this content change and to that I want say to not see this as a bad thing but rather to be glad that it happened in the first place. See it as an incredible journey. Look at all that we have accomplished in just 3 years! But life is a book and in that book are many chapters. This journey in trucking was an incredible chapter and I'm so proud to have it a part of my life story but it's time to move on to the next chapter and continue moving forward.

Everyone is super nice. Great pay! So Thank you and I pray you find your path and you do great things with your new venture.

There was a lot of entertainment value in your progress. You did kind of do it; I saw you prepare enough meals, get cut-off, back the truck, wait to get unloaded.... Your success putting a tennis game together so quickly is one example of who you are. i think there's much to be pleased with as a trucker, and almost certainly much more in your future. You're just that kind of guy: successful

Trucking got boring to me it was fun at first, and then it got too boring. I still enjoy looking at them beautiful and gorgeous classic long nose rigs, I wished I had one parked in the backyard just to enjoy. It wouldn't have to haul anything it can just stay put in the backyard just to enjoy. Trucking is the loneliest job i ever done in my life it's pretty bad if I say that because I like jobs that don't have very many people around me since I'm not much of a people person I stay to myself, I know I got home sick really bad I couldn't eat all of my favorite foods and I missed my family.

I myself have never driven an 18-wheeler. but watching you as a trucker and a good human being was enjoyable. follow your heart. that is all that matters. don't worry about your what some of you followers say. it all up to you buddy. great things are coming your way. most of us have been there. I am 63 years old and have made many decisions like yours. it always works out for the best. Money and big houses don't make the person you are. successful. it's based on being happy with what you do with your life. good luck and I will be praying for you Alex..

Life is about experiences, not destinations. If you spend too much time thinking about yourself and pretending that you can "find" in advance what you think could be the 100% right answer, you'll find nothing and life will pass you by. Just get on with it, whatever it is. As trucking was for you, nothing is forever. Good luck.

Alex, you are an amazing talent and a great person. I’ve followed you over the last year and a half or so. The fact that you’ve achieved what you’ve done at your age, is amazing if I would’ve achieved what you have so far, at your age, it would’ve been amazing. I don’t know where I would’ve gone. I’m almost 53 and I’m still trying to achieve things that I want in life. you’ve got a lot of time in amazing opportunity in life, to do things. Don’t beat yourself up, follow that dream. Don’t ignore it. You get that ambition in that feeling for a reason. It’s your journey in life and you can do this. I think it’s amazing, what some people can do even as young as you are. Don’t worry about losing subscribers. I don’t think that you will. I think people watch this channel because they love you and not the truck that you’re driving. You got a lot of good things ahead of you stay on it.

I’m about to go back just because I miss it, that may not be the same case for you but at least you accomplished something. Go get your life back you need it, go out with friends , go live , and just go experience how it feels just to live a normal life again. Some people weren’t blessed enough to make it off the road. We’re all rooting for you bro

Alex, I have enjoyed your videos and sad to see you go. But sometimes you gotta do what’s best for you. You’ll figure it out. I stumbled on your channel when I was searching for point of view of truckers and yours was the best result and enjoyed so much I subscribed. I couldn’t wait to see where you would end up, or even if you’d be driving thru my town. Even tho I didn’t get into trucking, it did help me shape my view of what it’s like. I had one stepdad that was a trucker and I went on just one long haul with him and been fascinated of that ever since. Looking forward to see what is next in your journey and as a fan, I hope to keep following future videos!

I’m really gonna miss you posting any trucking videos of you driving an 80,000 lb machine. But I still can watch any of your videos from the past. I’m really gonna miss you Alex the Trucking Guy. Or should I say Alex the Former Trucking Guy.?

Alex............you're young. Change is constant. I loved watching you, listening to you grunting while backing......getting lost..it was ALL worth watching. I'm a Mother of two truckers. Yup, lonesome life really........but hope you find the next challenge.......everything isnt a race........be well

Loved your shorts for your wholesomeness, honesty and positivity! As long as you take those traits with you, you will always have a following (if you want it) and i'm sure you'll do well. Good luck! With your trucking and social media knowledge i'd love to see if you and edison motors might be able to work together!

Regardless of what you have happening in your life Alex, I know for sure you steered me in the right direction because I was considering getting into the trucking business out of desperation. I barely just subscribed to you only a few weeks ago, and you're not losing me for sure. I know now that I would never make that mistake (for myself) not speaking for anyone who might be genuinely considering their life in the trucking business. I gained a lot of valuable information about the industry not only from you but other drivers and youtubers. I came to the conclusion its not as lucrative as a business as it used to be. A lot of the businesses are very predatory on people who might be in a position to give up anything for a better life who may come to regret it. I will continue my journey towards success and personal happiness. I am looking forward to more inspiration in general about your own decisions in life. Keep up the good work and I am impressed with what you have achieved. I am looking forward to learning about the further success you will find in life as a young man. You might not be "ALEX THE TRUCKING GUY" anymore but you are "ALEX THE MAN" to me, you have your whole life ahead of you! You will continue to find more success, and more importantly happiness. I'm sure of it!

I wish nothing but the best for you!! You are the reason i got into trucking. I got into it kind of for the reasons your getting out. "What else is there for me to do?" Has always been my mentality. The current company I'm with I know I will not be with forever. It's just a start. I want to get more specialized into doing things that do not include warehouses. LOL. I'm looking to get into the entertainment sector of trucking. I just have to get a little bit more experience to get there. I can't wait to watch what you have going on with your next chapter in your life!

I have had a few different careers in my life, life changes, your goals change. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I was licensed in 1986, and have maintained my CDL, and while you may not think you will ever need it in the future, freight needs to be delivered, drivers will always be needed. It is a parachute to help you get to the next chapter. You also found something most do, it becomes a rinse and repeat everyday, pickup, dropoff, take your break, and it is very lonely out there. Not everyone can attain their CDL, and the reality is, OTR is a hard life, but one you should be proud of, not many make it a year. Good luck on your future endeavors. Hope to see you vlog your next great adventure.

Alex, good luck with your future life endeavours. I've been watching your channel since you pretty much started it. I don't comment much, but I am an avid watcher of content. I will continue to watch whatever content you create! I completely understand how you feel about your choice. The feeling of "doing everything in life", then feeling bored, alone, tired. You should chase your other dreams! Travel outside of the country, try gaming if you're into that, socialize and get to know people! I'd happily be your friend. 😃

I've went through 2 major career changes in my life. It's easier when you're younger; but it's never easy. Life keeps going and a career impacts every part of your life. I'm getting in my career where it just feels like a grind. Work life balance is so important when you consider we spend about 60 to 75% of our life working. I hope you'll keep doing videos Alex, even if it's on another channel and a different job.

Alex, I know your feelings verry good you're describing. Trucking even in Europe is the same way. You're in your truck, goeing from place A to B where ever this place is. And this is a thing that burns you out. I could imagine that you've a family out there and you're missing them. But you must be healthy by your soul and your body. I'm also a truck driver who don't know if it's the right job because I'm out for a long time now. I think you're goeing your day. You're young and smart and you're a great guy with a lot of experience. You're goeing to find your way. I believe in you. 😊
