@@sunnygabriel7147 Thanks! Good luck!🍀
New home in Florida! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳
I'm so happy 😊 for y'all
Thank you!!!!!
Congratulations on the new house!! You should have taste tested that beer, you don't want to deliver bad product right?😂 Truck it safe guys 😎
😆😆😆😆😆😂🤣🥳👍
I hope all former yellow trucker and former yellow wearhouse workers will be able to get new jobs. Best of luck to all other trucking trucking companies taking up tje work of now closed yellow and is sub companies
I was with Celadon for 13 years, and they went bankrupt in December 2019. I turned in my truck at Celadon in Laredo, I called Crete that same day, and Crete hired me over the telephone, Crete got me a rental car in Laredo that day and a Uber to get the car and I drove to Wilmer for orientation the following day. I will always be forever grateful to Crete
I heard yellow got a last minute loan...
The union scabs can apply at burger King.
@robyn2344 the union scabs 😅can go to burger King and apply.
Thank you for writing these kind words here!!! We also wish them all the best!
That's one clean truck you got there. How often does Crete pay for washes? Are there self serve wash bays at the terminals?
There's a couple of terminals that have wash bays. Crete pays for a Blue Beacon wash every 45 days.
@@Shad0wSabr3 Gotcha
They discontinued the self wash bays. Supposedly due to possible injuries. They pay for a basic wash at Blue Beacon every 45 days. Kevin paid extra to get the wheels shined. 😁
First i hat to say hello from Germany bevor i wacht I hope this was not to bad ..... The last time i right in Englisch , me be 38 year bevor
Nicht schlecht nach so vielen Jahren. 😉🤩🇩🇪
I am so glad I got to drive a truck back in the good old days(70's and 80's) when you could just Drive a Truck. Paper Logs were all we had, no computers, nobody watching you, no cellphones, etc... I was single back then and ran all 48 States and Canada.
We actually had fun in those days talking on the CB Radio's, stopping whenever we wanted to and where we wanted to. Only had to check in once a day in the morning to let dispatch know "roughly" where we were and if we were going to be on time at destination. My truck was not governed at all and had everything I needed for comfort. That Old 359 Pete longnose was a great ride.
Sounds like you had a lot of fun and really enjoyed it! Happy for you!
@@TheJoyofTrucking
Thanks and you be careful out there. Always keep it between the ditches!!!
Congrats on the new house.
Leaving my girls, wife, daughters, and fur baby, was the toughest part of the job when I was in a truck. Honestly, if I didn’t have a family I would still be doing it. I loved the alone time. (32 years as a LEO I needed to clear my head)
But you do what’s best for all involved when you have a family that you cherish. They had put up with we missing a lot of things for over 30 years. Time for me to give back to them. 😊
Thanks for sharing your personal experience! So how long did you drive? I’m sure there was a lot to process after a long career as a LEO. Sounds like you had a lot of loving and supportive family members. Glad you’re now spending time with them. And you can keep traveling with us. 🤗
@@TheJoyofTrucking I only did it for just over a year full time. I had experience because my father was a trucker.
I got my Class “A” in 1982 when I was a firefighter. So over the years, on my days off, I would run the truck at times. (Yes I was a FF and Paramedic prior to becoming a police officer 🤪.)
After I retired I decided to give a full time shot. Like I said I enjoyed it. But the time away from family, weeks at a time just caused another type of stress.
I came off the road just as COVID hit full effect.
@@rickyhawkins7407 👍👍👍
I know how that feels being back to work after vacation. It’s always tough. However, congratulations on your new home!!! 👍👍👍
Yes! Thank you! 👍👍👍🤩🥳
Welcome back! Congrats on your new house. KW is nice and shiny and Tanja you be careful on your drive south. Best wishes! 😊
Thank you so much!!!
Wutz up guys?Doesnt hometime just seem to fly bye lol.A lantern fly 🤔?I e never heard of that species?I just made a run from Bellingham Washington out to Phoenix Arizona & it’s like going from A/C to the frying pan lol.Mid 70’s in Bellingham & phoenix 110+.Drive safe out there guys.
😳😳😳🥵👋👋👋
I'll be looking at getting into CDL school next month. I'm old so it's good to see that he's probably up there as well and still doing just fine with it. I'm 47 so I'm getting a late start.
😆😆😆You’re not old and certainly not too late to get into trucking. Kevin started at age 59 and is now 61. Lots of more ‘mature’ people get into trucking. After a lot of very physically demanding work Kevin is happy to sit down for a bit. 😆😆😆Though even this job is physically demanding in a different way. We wish you all the best!!! Let us know how the journey unfolds. 😃🤩
@@TheJoyofTrucking Thanks for a fast response. I worked regular jobs all my life so that I could be in my son's life. He is now in the Marines and off doing his thing now. So I figured it was time to get paid to drive and see the country and make great money while doing it.
@Ohiostategenerationx That sounds like a good plan! Glad you got to spend time with your son while he was growing up. 😃🤩
Truck looks beautiful….trailer not so much 🤔😝☝️🥵💪….ahh it’s not too bad I guess 🤣
😆😆😆Hope you heard the shout out to you Kirk!!!! 😆😁🤩🥰
I forgot what my house looks like. I will be quitting the industry soon and I can not wait. I am done with everyone getting worse on the road and never being "home". I am done with driving altogether. I am going to work on living in nature away from people. People are so annoying. I am tired of all the trucks going their max speed through construction. I am tired of trucks making all of us look bad by cutting off vehicles in the left lane just to pass another truck that is governed one mile an hour less. I am tired of trucks going forty miles an hour through the truck stop. I am tired of four wheelers getting away with driving fifty miles over the speed limit and cutting me off right before the exit ramp just to wait at a traffic light. I am dick of living around these nasty people throwing their own feces and pee on the concrete. Ten years and I had enough. I am ready to live like a normal person. People do not realize that I threw away a normal life just to haul their crap. I am ready to be with my family.
Hey Curtis! I think that’s a good idea!!! You’re not enjoying it anymore. Life’s too short to waste time on something that makes you miserable. Sounds like your cup runneth over and it’s time to find something else. Especially joy and peace of mind. 🤗
Congratulations on the house. Itis so fulfilling to own one.. Well done.
Thanks so much, Jim! 😊
8:12 at first, I thought that the trailer was brand new. But, I was looking closely, it was a dedicated Crete trailer.
👍👋👋👋
I’ve been out with my TNT trainer for almost 2 weeks now. I’m driving with Prime Inc. The hardest parts of this is saying bye to my wife. I miss her so much, but I’m doing this for are future. I’m only a rookie, but I love it.
Congrats to you and starting your new career. I trained with, and drove for Prime 4 yrs ago. You will learn, there are good things and bad with them, like every company.
I hope you have a good trainer. I had 50/50. But listen to them, if they have true OTR experience they will be able to help you tremendously.
Now a piece of advice from a total stranger. After you get your time in, about a year, look elsewhere.
There are other companies out here with better pay and fleet managers. Fleet managers who will make sure you not only get work, and miles. But also make sure you get home time.
You will understand when you are on your own.
Good luck and be safe.
Yes. Being apart is not easy. But hopefully this will give you a solid career with good income and a solid future. Once you get some experience you can always find local jobs if you want to be home more often. Lots of different opportunities in trucking. And it’s great that you love it!!! Sounds like you found a good path for you! Best of luck with your training! Let us know how it goes! Congratulations!
hey y’all good to see you back. Great vacation. What part of Florida did you move i stay in Tampa
We bought a place in DeLand. Very happy!
Congratulations on the house! It is a nice looking truck. Roll safe and God bless.
Thank you!!!
It should include your wife's name on the back of the and on the top of it put a sign that says the love of my life
Awww….very sweet. What location on the truck? Not sure that’s allowed on a company truck. Not even sure if I’m the love of his life…might be Ramblin’ Rose, the KW. 😆😆😆😆
Welcome back!! Congratulations on the house!!!
Thank you!!
Every time I see a Crete truck going down the highway in Georgia I always think is that them. Love your Channel. I'm a Retired Firefighter. Safe travels to you both.
👍🤩👋👋👋Thanks for a career in helping people!!
Your videos always put a smile on my face. I'd be proud to have you on my board any day. Stay safe out there and keep on rollin'.
So happy to hear that we make you smile!!! It’s one of our hopes for our viewers. 😃 As for the board…onboard? Or something else?
@@TheJoyofTrucking my dispatch board.
Kevin and Tanya, we're glad to see you both back in the truck. Even if its just during pre-trip. Tanya, you capture content well. My wife and I like to watch you two. We're glad to see both in the truck again. Congrats on the house.
Thank you so much! Happy to hear that you enjoy watching us as a couple! 👩❤️👨 Good to have you both along!
I do the same thing, reaching for the jake in my civic. haha
😆😆😆👍🤦♀️
Nice Video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m a Crete driver myself I have a blue 2023 t680 trk87959
👍👍👍🥳👋👋👋
I’m out of the Indianapolis terminal great people
Congratulations on your house purchase. Mechanicsburg is around 120 west of us near Hershey. We go there often enough. Saw my first lantern fly on the 15th tee box on Tuesday. Spring Hollow Golf Course near Spring City, Pa. Was able to stomp on it. Safe travels.
👍👍👍Thanks for doing your part! 👍😆😆😆🥳
@@TheJoyofTrucking my pleasure. Fortunately not as bad as in 2019 and 2020. But still look for them and their eggs.
Nice to see you back in the truck . I thought Kevin had another of NYC good luck with New York . Watching from the U.K.
😆😆😆Not this time. Just New York State. Which we don’t mind at all.
Glad you are back and congrats on the house! I am on the fence about Crete and wondered if you could help. I am a former Werner driver that did SE dedicated home weekly. The same type of run for Crete only pays about .54/mile. The OTRs start at .60/mile. I have two years experience but, that doesn't count for much at Crete. Can you negotiate with them or, is it a take it or leave it deal? Having only done home weekly, I don't know how I would do going 21 days out from the beginning?
You should always negotiate pay with a company no matter what.
Hi there! That’s a good question. Kevin started at 62cpm for the 21 days. He did not negotiate as we thought it was set. He only had one year experience. I would say why not try. Maybe that second year experience could get you more. And yes, from 1 to 3 weeks is a big jump. And since you get 1 day for every six out Kevin likes to do minimum 24 days out to then get 4 days home. That is a tough call in your part. Sorry we don’t have a better answer for you. Let us know if you have other questions.
Get in the truck 😂 I think that touched a nerve 😂😂😂
Lol…it’s right up there with ‘Yes, dear.’ 😆😆😆
I always scale a Tcalled load unless it's a light load. The scale ticket was with the other drivers truck. They may not have a Kenworth and your truck is heavier than a Cascadia plus the other driver might have been low on fuel when they scaled and their 5th wheel might not be adjusted to the same position your fixed 5th wheel is set and you might have more fuel than the other driver when they scaled plus you have a passenger so thats extra weight too.
That’s a very good point! Thank you!
@@TheJoyofTrucking You're welcome. Be safe the two of you. Enjoy watching your channel and Kevin you have great work ethics, the industry needs more drivers like you and Tanja great job recording as always and fantastic editing. (I hope I spelled your name correctly) :)
Stop!

Way to go on the new house
Thank you!!!
I love u guys ,I'm coming over to create from hirschbach
Awww…we appreciate your kind words! And we’re happy to hear that you think Crete is a good fit for you. (Though those Hirschbach trailer graphics are pretty cool 😉). We hope you have a smooth transition and a great career at Crete!!! Remember to work with your asset manager if you get load assignments that waste your HOS. Sometimes they send ridiculous loads but are happy to work on changing them so everyone stays productive.
Best of luck at orientation and let us know how it goes. If you have any questions let us know. And do please use our code, SLOKEV, if you aren’t using someone else’s already. We’d be very grateful!!! Hope to meet you soon!!!
O know I am using you guys SLOKEV and ya I learned how to send that in to the asset manager from a video u guys had up.. I will keep on touch thanks for everything and keep with the content we all love it .. 😁
@@davidzelecki9797 That’s great! Thank you so much! We really do appreciate it! That helps support the channel! And yes, we’ll keep the videos coming. We are happy to hear when they help people!! 😃Look forward to hearing from you again!
Nice looking tracktor
Thanks 👍
Kevin when you pick up a load do you update your shipping info on your ELD?BOL,Trailer#,Trailer license plate#,Shippers name etc.?
Yes! You send a preformed message called ‘loaded call’ where you fill in the blanks with info plus your ETA. 👍
@@TheJoyofTrucking I think it’s different from company to company.The Company I drive for uses the Zonar ELD.Once I pickup a load I submit a Loaded call.Then I have to go into the Zonar ELD & manually update the Shipping info.A lot of guys have been gettin stopped @ the scales in California,Oregon,Washington & Arizona & have been getting tickets 🎟️ because their shipping info hasn’t been updated for the load they are under.
At Crete, our Peoplenet automatically changes trip numbers and trailer numbers. I always look to make sure it is done.
@@randyalt370 That’s way cool 😎.I have 2 weeks to go here @ Knight transportation & I’ll have 1 year u see my belt with the same company.
@@Moondoggy1970 Excellent!!! Congratulations! Do you plan on staying with them?
It’s really amazing how detailed you are during your pre-trip and your driving. I think it’s great the company you work for issue you a new KW.
They know there is not many truck drivers as good and consistent at best . Your truck is beautiful and can most definitely see your priorities.
Thank you so much! 🤩🥳👍
Although he did nothing wrong, technically, my OCD had me going nuts when he hooked to the trailer. For me, its always check the 5th wheel, glad hands/lights, release trailer brakes and then roll up the dollies.
That’s a good order too. 👍 Kevin is following the way he was taught at Phoenix Truck Driving Institute.
I love that Tanya verbalized her emotion and love to her husband❤❤❤❤🤙🤙🤙🤙
Awwww…thanks…☺️☺️☺️
When you get to Syracuse get a Uber and go to little Italy on North Salina st. Best Italian food in New York State.
👍👍👍😆
I’m only live about 20 miles from this terminal, wish I could have meet you there.
👍👍👍🤩😃
My brother-in-law always says drive cheerfull!! I like that line.😊
Love that!
When you have multiple logs to certify on people net. So much easier and faster to log in on your laptop.
🤔🤔🤔We’ve never tried.
Great video Your videos from the vacation were great. Be safe on your drive to Florida.❤😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much!!!
Awwww so sweet
☺️☺️☺️
I hoped that maybe you could come to the Waupun Truck-N-Show Friday and Saturday, August 11th and 12th in Waupun, Wisconsin if Crete would let you. But since you're just getting back to work, looks like it's not going to happen.
That’s a great idea! Won’t work this year. But we could maybe try for next year?🤔🤔🤔
@TheJoyofTrucking It's always held the second Friday and Saturday of August. At least, that's the way it's been since the first year I attended in 2013. Hard to believe at this point it's been almost 10 years, just short of a full decade since my first time there. Was going into my junior year of high school at the time. Man, time flies!
Great Video. You guys are a pleasure to watch and very interesting.
😆😆😆👍🥳
Love you guys beautiful couple ❤️. I am thinking on coming to crete. I will like to know what lanes they have am from florida
Hi there! Thank you so much! 🥰 If you are OTR Crete will send you all over the place. But you can call recruiting to see if they have any specific dedicated accounts if that’s what you are looking for. Kevin has driven to/through all lower 48 except Vermont and North Dakota in his 17 months with Crete. Looking at your handle…are you from the Caribbean? We lived in the VI 20 years. 🇻🇮
@@TheJoyofTrucking yeah I am Dominican 🇩🇴and been in florida for 30 years now. Also saw the beautiful house that you bought congratulations 🎈🍾🎉🎊 definitely looking forward to crete and will use your driver code. Thx again and enjoy your home in florida 🙏🙏
Quick question about Werner orientation. Do they spend much time on pretrip. I got my cdl in February. Feeling a bit rusty. Thanks!
They give you a cheat sheet it’s orientation not hard
Not sure. That’s been a while. Just go over your learning material from school and Google it and watch a few videos. That should help. You’ll do great! With your question you already demonstrated that you are conscientious and have a drive toward excellence!
hope you had a great time on your vacation i have had a great time watching your videos
Thanks so much! We were hesitant to post them because we think most viewers just want the trucking content. But then there are others who might appreciate a little ‘behind the scenes look.’ 🤩 Glad you’re one of them. 👍
After two weeks of vacation, I'd wish I had two more haha.
😆👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆😆
House in FL, good for you, and congratulations, you'll like it. I'm a native Floridian, wouldn't be anywhere else. You'll get used to the heat and humidity. The Villages, seems everybody goes there, not for me, but that's OK, different strokes.
We’re heading to DeLand. 😃 Where do you live? So many great places in Florida!
@@TheJoyofTrucking Millie and I live in Sebring, a 55 retirement community, you know, like thousands of others in FL, just a bit south of Deland. 🙂 Really enjoy your 'Crete' travels. You will now seriously have plenty to do with the house.

Back on the road again...Willie Nelson

Hi.. so how many weeks do you have weekations ?
You can take your home time. You can take extra unpaid days. You get one week paid vacation after your first year. And the paid vacation time increases over time (don’t recall when or how much). Communication is key. So far never a problem except last Christmas. We didn’t know that for Christmas you have to ask in advance because they only allow a certain percentage of drivers to take time off at that time.
Does create pull any B tains 2 tailers?
Crete does not do doubles.
Tanya did you ever wanted tp get your owm cld class 8 licence?
No!
Nope. I have other talents and interests. Like helping and entertaining people with our UA-cam channel. 🥳
Werner was constantly warning me about them darn lantern Flys.
Constantly!!!!! Yes!!
Schneider did the same.
Yeh we black on the road again
👍👍👍😆🤩
Dang
Where did you go in Canada and how'd you like it?
All over southern Ontario. Yes! We love it! Seeing family and friends and Canada brings us a lot of joy!!!
@TheJoyofTrucking I'm glad to hear that. As someone that is from and still lives in Southern Ontario, it makes me happy to hear that Americans enjoy being here. I heard him mention Sudbury but that's technically Northern Ontario, the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and such is Southern Ontario. Anything North of Barrie is Northern. I deliver for the largest grocery retail in Canada (Loblaw) and I was just in the Sudbury area a couple weeks ago. It's absolutely beautiful up there. Sudbury is also home to Canada's version of the IRS, so you should have burned it down before you left. Lol. I'm glad you had fun. Hope to meet you some day.
Nice red color scheme on the tractor, and give you a lot of credit for checking the trailer, especially the wheels and undercarriage.That avoids potential issues with DOT folks later.Glad you took the time off and getting back to it.
Thank you!!! 👍🤩
Congradulations on buying the new house
Thank you!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking your welcome
For some reason the spotted lantern flies are not around in great numbers this year. I have seen any thus year. Last year in August and September the critters where heavy in PA and MD. My guess is the hard freeze we had in that area around Christmas time might have destroyed egg masses. The temperature was done in the single digits for several days.
What the heck is a lantern fly? Do they prefer trailers for a special reason?
That’s good news!!!
An invasive species that has it in for many valuable crop plants, especially grape vibes! 🍷😳
@@TheJoyofTrucking not only do I have to do a pretrip.. Gotta tye up my hair too.. Thanks for the lookout.

Stop bragging on your new Tractor. You probably got it because of your YT page! Crete gave you a Kenworth because in one of your videos you were drooling over the KW's in the Crete lot.
😆😆😆We’ve been drooling over KW’s in more than one video. And he told them from the beginning he wanted a KW. They didn’t have any available. When we saw that they were getting a lot of new ones in Kevin asked very nicely. They made it happen.

I am at the moment I am off of work with a stomach virus so i am waiting for a hospital appointment 😢
@@iandrew6347 Oh no! Hope you get the appointment and full recovery very quickly! 💐
I have the same truck - if you ever get a transmission fault (common with these trucks) it’s more than likely in need of a new shifter and techs will need to download software from the manufacturer of the shifter to get to synchronized to the ecm.
