Good information. Good luck man. Just the way you think you will get there whenever and whatever that maybe.
@360tarantula, thank you!
This is a good start for you to keep practicing on. Do you meditate??
@360tarantula, thank you. I just started to get into meditating again. Do you have any suggestions for meditating?
Hello, my best friend is still in the military so far. They've done 23 years of service. They are scared to leave. I am trying to understand. They're better off just getting out. This person will be 51 eventually. What can I do or say to get them to just say, "I'm done. I'm ready to become a civilian.
@360tarantula, 23 years of service is a long time. Congrats to your friend. As a friend, encourage them to do what they desire.
I get out in like 45 days . I’m a try my best to prepare but it’s finna be hard
@swagdonttouch672 congrats. Come out with a positive mindset and focus on doing things that are going to move you closer to the life you want. Good luck
What a bunch of losers
@xChromerSantanasx what losers?
@ianonaquest nah not losers, I'm just messing around with everyone failing tests. People need to study so they understand what they're memorizing
@@xChromerSatanasx thanks for clarifying your message. I agree, a failed test simply means you need to study a little harder. Mobile test apps are a big help
@ianonaquest this video is 2 years old, did you ever PASS and acquire your CDL??
@@xChromerSatanasx I did. Tried a few different companies and decided I wanted to do something completely different.
Tomorrow is my final out 🙏🏽 thank GOD!
well when you do it for so long the otr part takes a toll on you, you barely see people so you forget about it, its not an easy job at all, I've been on the road for 5 yrs and I can understand, I got into it thinking it was going to be good for the first time, loved it, but man after 10 yrs, 20 yrs, its rough, it really breaks you
I took my permit test 28 times. I just got my cdl license’s yesterday
Has it affected job searching and getting hired? I got the same thing happening right now.
@Jamel5552 During that time, it did not. I remember being told in trucking school that the average trucker, during their first year, goes through 3 companies. Not sure what that number looks like now though.
I got lucky because my trainer was one of my close friends! I move people from state to state and it pays pretty well! Hard work, but solid checks 💯
How do you get to do a gig like that ?
@@SonicUmami just look up a moving agency near you and try to apply, most of the time they’re going to want experience within the moving industry since you’re not only driving and it’s also very hands-on
What did you think it was gonna be like? Didn't you realize you wouldn't be home every night ?
Yes I'm alone, but I'm never lonely. It's possible you aren't right for trucking. But it's also possible that a better trainer might change your mind. I think you should give it a second chance.
I wish you would give it another chance. Talk to the company, find yourself a good trainer.
My company has their own driving school. We had a small class, so our instructor was able to waste time and nap in the truck. The first time I ever did a 45 back was in a busy parking lot, and my trainer had no patience. I liked him as a person but I’m glad he isn’t my boss lol I barely passed my driver skills evaluation because he sucked at teaching the 45, but I passed. I was only supposed to be out with the trainer 14 - 21 days, but cause of where his home time was I was gone 45 days sometimes not even getting training pay. They made me do a load on the way home, but my trainer was curtainside, and I’m driving flatbed. I was so lost on how to tarp my first load, and backing up with the touchy throttle truck with over 40,000 pound load on was awful, and I wasn’t even trained properly. Now I know how to 45 back pretty well, but I literally take my shoes off with heavy loads cause of how dumb the throttle is. Once it says clutch overheating it’s over lol I realized now hitting the brakes makes it worse, but my trainer kept yelling don’t stop keep moving, and then I’d accidentally floor it lol but it’s better to ease on to it and not move for a second instead of flooring it and hitting the brakes.
I enjoyed your tale. OTR has sucked forever. Living in a truck with another person is tough. OTR is hellish. Your truck school training and military is nothing like common carrier. You don't understand if the trailer can roll you roll with it pre trip or post trip. Unless you are getting paid by the hour or detention time you roll with what ever trailer you pick up . With electronic logs the driver is even more screwed. I would log off duty and get no pay but I kept my hours when there was a break down (dual paper logs). Yeah a reefer count on that sucker breaking down under a load and could cost you a day or more. OTR driving sucks. As long as the trucker bs makes it look so desirable the new flow of truck driver school recruits is endless but man working 12 hour shift at walmart night stock is much more lucrative.
Soft
@WORKSbaby, I wouldn’t say that bro. I just don’t waste time in fields that I don’t see myself thriving in. I spent a lot of time in jobs I wasn’t satisfied in when I was a teen. As of now, I’m a healthcare major wrapping up my BA. I’m gonna have a great story if you subscribe and keep watching brother. Be blessed 💪🏽🙏🏽
I can tell you smart bruh! I feel like the dude you was teamed with at some point after this video lost his job! I think just like you!
@speedygemini385 I appreciate that. This was nearly three years ago. I have to drop more updates. I did try a couple other companies and different types of hauling before throwing in the towel altogether. I enjoyed belly dump hauling and if I had to get back in a truck later in life, I'd choose that.
Yeah my dawg this might not be your lane only 1 day out of 10 days is perfect out here it's rough fr💯blessings brother man
@wadehython70, after trying a few different companies and different types of hauls, I agree. Blessings to you bro
Because u got other options no felonies etc
@blickaor2382, You are correct! As a black man over 30 and from the South, not having any felonies and options is a huge flex.
Damn failed today general knowledge by 11 questions wrong 😑
@nathanlopez9753 You didn't fail; you became a little wiser. Try it again
I did a Dub bro, 20 years, coming out with a pension and disability money but I’m all f***ked up, physically and mentally. I wouldn’t encourage no one to stay that long, people gotta do what’s best for their situation and make sh** work. Good video bro, enjoyed the perspective.
@BigBroDre, Thanks for your service man. I hope you have gotten seen over the years and continue to seek the help you need bro. Joining, staying in, or separating is a preference, in my opinion. I don't feel a person can go wrong with whatever they feel is best for them.
All trucking sucks. Lots of Truck drivers are on camera while driving, sent to places that are almost impossible to back into, lots of 12-14 hour days, road pirates like DOT and State troopers always looking to pick your pockets, companies with extremely complicated pay rates ( to screw u outta money ) , shit roads, 4 wheelers that shouldn't be allowed to operate a bicycle never mind an automobile, etc , etc..
@rickbergstrom3859, in my opinion, trucking is for people who enjoy it. From experience, I can agree with some of the cons you listed.
not where i work i haul crude home nightly paid hourly im pretty much on my own easy job
@@JASONHJEFFERSONhe is right about the road pirates tho… why the hell dot & state troops always on truckers meat ? Like they so lame, they should pick on the vehicle drivers that drive recklessly around semi trucks weighing TONS of pounds
I'm catching hell with general knowledge that's the only one I got left
@Mrwright9681 try writing down the questions you’re struggling with most and look at them a few times throughout the day and then go back and add random questions to the mix. Once you feel good do a thorough study of everything and go pass that test💪🏽💪🏽
They just let anyone be trainers apparently.
Ay I’m on Guam 🇬🇺

Great vid! 👍🏽
@shannonwright354 thank you!
how would one read optimally?
@TheEncouragementKid I would recommend reading often and trying different strategies so that you can adopt a practice that is most effective for you. This may be reading out loud, reading in silence, going to a library, reading slow, reading fast, or skimming etc. If I may add, don’t feel mentally challenged if you have to read a passage several times before you grasp an understanding of it. This was actually recommended in an ethics and moral reasoning class I took last year. Good luck!
@ianonaquest thank you sire 🤙🏽
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
@KOBKsalute yesssiiirrr
I passed the first two test which they say it was the hardest but I think I made a mistake taking a break after my second one because when I came back I was nervous and rushing and failed the third one by one question
@yungify2867 Congrats! Take your time and stay safe when you get out there

I ETS in 10 months and I’m having difficulties coming up with a solid plan. I had to start tuning out the people encouraging me to stay, I really don’t want to. It feels like a abusive relationship. But I also don’t want to get out in the world and fail.
I got 9 months left dawg. I feel you
@@richardg194 wishing you the best 🫡
@SoloDoubleR not too much longer now. I understand where you are coming from. Hang in there until the mission is complete. Good luck!
Here for the update I also have 10 months left
You will lose all your muscle tone doing this job unless….you keep a set of dumbbells in your truck and use them!
You can do calisthenics
@garfield8900 I think truckers can maintain some muscle tone with simple calisthenics and discipline.
I’m usually out 2 weeks then have 2 1/2 days off. I just go to failure upper and lower body on my 2 days off. Usually keeps me sore for 5 days, then a week of feeling good. Plus a lot of my terminals have a small gym and treadmills
Great video!! Thanks for all the advice!
@derickrouse3021 Thanks for watching!
So cute and handsome. Well spoken young man. You will make it through baby bear 🐻 just keep trying
Helpful video! Thanks for sharing these tips
@GodCaesarTV Glad you found it useful. Thanks for taking time to comment bro!
That’s real!
💯
You are right bro.
Save your money, DONT take a combat MOS, Use it as a stepping stone in life but dont get emotionally stuck there because most of your life WILL be spent in the civilian life. It helps if you have a strong family supporting you when you get out. DONT mess up your ties with family... you will need them again. It sucks but if you can crash at mom and dads again until you get on your feet... it helps. I never understood these guys who never went home and decided to drink and fuck hookers instead on leave. They are the ones who at 50 years of age are drunk in a bar, have nothing, and can only reminisce about there times as a Marine...... F that!!!!!
Great video
@JodyMay05 thanks for watching
Awesome video brother. I'm starting my first drive in about 15 mins💯🙏🏿🙌🏿🔥
@ShonnyD38 Thanks for watching bro! I hope everything is going well!
And they don’t let us review what we got wrong here
