Swift has plenty of freight. What they do is give it to new guys. They are cheaper….
Great information. Thanks as usual.
I've had my CDL A for 30 years. I started back in the 90s with mayflower transit. I was trained by Mayflower. Mayflower had skid pad training. You had to steer the tractor on a skid pad while wet and steer the tractor while skidding. They don't train like they used to. It's all about the "rapid" training of students and less with the actual fundamentals of driving
They took my first load off me last week messed up my whole week I had planned
Dammit I missed the live. What days and what time y’all do it???
@@PACOJO_NAZOSLOSMIOS I try Wednesdays at 8 and Friday at 8 unfortunately this week it was Thursday
Congratulations on the 1,000 subs

Why do people hate truckers? They are in the way and slow as crap. OTR drivers are slow and have no idea how to drive in town. I drive LTL and can’t stand the OTR drivers. They will drive through town at 15-25 mph no matter the speed limit loaded or not. I drive the speed limit in a loaded rig in town so the OTR drivers have no excuse. I could go on and on about how the OTR drivers are so slow. Watching a 10 year driver need 5 pull ups on a back in I can hit in 1 try in 15 seconds. Needing an extra lane to make a turn they could have made from there lane. Needing 45 min at a fuel up when I only need 15 min, fill up and move out. I honestly don’t consider OTR a skilled driving job anymore. Learn to move with a sense of purpose. Don’t be a dirty smelly driver and ware respectable cloths and real shoes. Don’t be that slob who crawls out of the truck like it was a bed. So why do people hate us? Pick one of a hundred reasons. Most of them are the drivers not the job.
That PA toll junction is horrible. Parking is so slim. They understand truckers make money but the cost isn't looked at anymore. Not what it use to be.
$25 is absolutely insane!!
Mostly because the vast majority cant drive worth a fuck . Trucking used to be full of real professionals, Now its mostly illegals who can fog a mirror at DMV and get handed a CDL.
You are absolutely right Driver. When I was OTR I had to use Pilot/ Flying J . The damn "prime parking" ranges from $14 to $25 a night. I was a company driver, why the hell am I paying for someone else's equipment. I never understood that. Also these truck stops are "rip offs". Everything from food to showers are high and overpriced. These truck stops are ridiculous in price. Parking is non existent in the north east
You are right driver. It was not like this back in the 70th. They will regret it one day when fright stop moving. It's all about making money oft the driver
So you feel entitled to use the property of others for free? It’s not a truck stop, it’s a travel center. How many drivers park where they don’t fuel, buy groceries, or meals? We, as truck drivers feel entitled to free parking, free showers, free trash, free bathrooms…. Socialism is great unless it’s your property being used for free.
I don’t have a problem with charging but it shouldn’t be so expensive. The other thing the companies should pay for the company drivers because most are barely making it. Free enterprise is a good thing but when they overcharge it’s not right. Price gouging.
@@iamtheflyrabbit We, the truck drivers stopped eating three meals a day in truck stops. Now we fuel one place, buy our groceries at grocery stores, and get our repairs done at dealers and terminals. Yet, we still feel entitled to free parking, showers, coffee, and whatever else. They should absolutely charge what the market will bear. We sure don’t want anyone limiting the rates on freight. As for carriers paying for company drivers parking, okay but then the carrier gets to dictate when and where the driver parks, right? I’m a company driver. I budget for 1 paid parking a week. Paid parking lets me drive later into the day. It’s a benefit to me, the driver. I find it odd that so many people want more things free or paid for by someone else. Sure isn’t the politics that I espouse. Parking is a cost of the trade. Sometimes it’s worth it to me, sometimes it’s not. There’s an app called Park My Rig, it’s $25 a year. Has a lot of little known parking places in it. Paid for itself first time I used it. There’s Truck Parking Club but they are about $25 a night.
I totally understand, but from a business perspective, parking is pretty much pure profit very little overhead. that doesn’t make it right, but I will tell you this if it was me I would charge right around the same simply because my employees have to pick up human waste trash, especially from the flip-flop generation
@@Choward1234They have to purchase the land, improve the land, insure the property, repair and maintain the parking lot, then there’s the taxes, utilities, and as you mention the staff to deal with it. I’ve paid higher than $25 for parking on occasion. It’s part of the cost of driving later into the evening or going to areas that are more populated and therefore pay more.
Every youtube company review - 3 months or less the company is great, they're the best yada yada. Read the comments a month or 2 after that and get the "I'm not with them anymore". Moral of the story is don't rely on the youtube job hoppers.

What were your pros and cons of the swift LP?
Lease was cheap. Really no cons as long as you get a good or new truck. Only cons with swift is the planners. You can only get a limited amount of miles then it seems they cut you off.
I'm seeing you reached 1000 subs "congratulations"
Sorry about your family member, wishing for the best for your family.
I want to say thank you for deciding to stay in this industry and out up with the BS that these companies pit on you. I needed a break and im returning to what I used to do in my prior life. Yet, I miss trucking and want to return as an owner operator. Im still undecided
@@kylemckee thank you for the kind comments. Let me know if we could help you.
I retired from the federal government and then went into tractor trailer driving. I've had my CDL for thirty years. I drove for six years. I left the trucking industry because of the unethical, unsanitary, disorganized, mismanaged industry. I have seen things in this industry that are disrespectful and unlawful. I'm still deciding whether or not to return.

I had already started onboarding and been approved by SFI before I found this video, but I would LOVE to talk to an actual driver.

The freight market is overly saturated due to the DOT handing out MC and DOT numbers like candy. There needs to be a cap on the armor of drivers getting their own authority.
Do you book your own loads with the load board or do you let the dispatch book your loads?
@@DerickContee actually three ways. We help each other, dispatch, and I book loads on the load board. We have a crew of eleven

Can you drive part time for anieder
@@RobDavisBigRobFitness I’m not sure I understand your question? If you mean two carriers, that’s between you and the carrier. Usually doesn’t happen.
Is it okay to come to jb now as a o/o under jb authority
@@lawrencedavis7465 I think so. We are all doing good at the moment. If you want call me in the morning I’ll give you the info to our recruiters.
You have to have the camera inside ?

Panther is a "JIT" company "just in time" that's why they run teams

@@kylemckee if you give me a call tomorrow I’ll pass your info to THOM bell. I’m at home today but I would be glad to go be it to him. 321-270-6669
I never understood why as a "company driver" I was always liable to find and pay for parking for equipment that I didn't even own. I could see if I owned the equipment, then yes. But as a company driver!! The money should have been provided to me
The reason being is because the FMCSA is handing out MC and DOT numbers like candy. The freight market is " overly saturated". When FMCSA and DOT STOPS handing out numbers like candy and freeze these numbers then and only then will the market improve
Why is this guy on the bottom yelling? I hate this because I was watching Fly Rabbit before this dude got butt hurt.
