Good information. Good luck man. Just the way you think you will get there whenever and whatever that maybe.

This is a good start for you to keep practicing on. Do you meditate??

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.

I get out in like 45 days . I’m a try my best to prepare but it’s finna be hard

What a bunch of losers

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.

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 💯

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

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!

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

Because u got other options no felonies etc

Damn failed today general knowledge by 11 questions wrong 😑

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.

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..

I'm catching hell with general knowledge that's the only one I got left

They just let anyone be trainers apparently.

Ay I’m on Guam 🇬🇺

Good message man!

😻 *promo sm*

@19:52 man sounded like the Everest College commercial dude lol

Good stuff bro!!

Yessir Ian back in action

Great vid! 👍🏽

how would one read optimally?

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

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

What song is playing @.40seconds ?

Hey Ian , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you enhance Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .

My man...Excellent video

💪

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.

You will lose all your muscle tone doing this job unless….you keep a set of dumbbells in your truck and use them!

Great video!! Thanks for all the advice!

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

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

Awesome video brother. I'm starting my first drive in about 15 mins💯🙏🏿🙌🏿🔥

And they don’t let us review what we got wrong here
