Crazy good videos! It’s like you have a production team of 10 people working on these and have been doing it for a decade. Now I’m off the to see if Vasilly put one up. Vas, time to pull up the socks man you got some crazy competition here 😉
been trucking 11 years. best advise , find an old school trucker who's been out there many years & talk to them as much as possible. I was fortunate enough to have some downtime & sat and talked with a 75 year old man who'd been on the road for 50 years. I learned a lot & the information was priceless. I'll never forget it.
I used to drive OTR and was lucky to have time with a trainer for the first couple of weeks. I learned more in those two weeks working with him than any other prep or training.
@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. Who says, you?..lol That man most likely has a nice home paid for, several cars who knows what else. And you you call someone you have not even met not bright???? Ever stop to think the man is happy with what he's doing?
I’m not sure why your videos showed up in my feed. However, the editing and content are great! I subscribed and hope there will be many more videos coming.
Truckers do not make all that much money unless you own your own company my dads owned a trucking company for over 20 years so I know alot about the back end stuff
@@Schuelke14 actually you can easily start out with $75k after the first year of being an otr trucker . With teams you make a hell of a lot more than that. If you're an owner operator you can make around 100k or more every month, depending on your freight.
@SV _ not for owner operators, I know a guy that was making 140k a month. If you're working long enough for a company you can make 100k yearly easily. You don't need to be an owner operator.
Tara W you have no clue what you talking about. If you would like a 1099 statement and see the money after expenses with 3 months off. $188k. Let me know. Like we out here O/O just for shits and giggles.
I’m so glad your videos popped up in my feed! My dad owns a trucking company and has for a while now. He tends to only accept loads in the west, he lives in Sandy. Cool to see another Utah trucker, especially a female who doesn’t look older than I am! Love it❤️
I absolutely LOVE your vlogs! I’m a 59 yr old woman who very much wanted to become a truck driver back in the early eighties....I learned how to drive an old Kenworth twinstick ( 40 forward gears with 8 reverse), I could drive that truck like nobody’s business, but unfortunately at the time it was very hard to find work because I was a woman...that men felt like I had no business driving truck in the first place! And they let me know it too! I instead drove a 40 foot school bus for over 20 years. It wasn’t really what I wanted to do but at least it was still a large vehicle that kinda was like almost maybe driving a truck....except that my cargo was very precious and I treated it as such. I wish you well on your journeys and pray that the Lord keeps you and your beautiful dog safe always! Thank you so much for letting me experience my dream through you...☺️👍🏼🙏🏼💕 Terri
Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you do a variety of loads! Store deliveries in the first vlog and now an unload at a DC. Love the vids, nice to see a fellow lady trucker ✌
Driving backwards is a big part of trucking. Not just because it's a required action to dock and deliver, but because it's dangerous. More truck related accidents involve backing than on the highway.
@@Josh-of-all-Trades same with bus transit, actually the transit company I was looking into doesn't want any of their drivers to do any backing at all. Same with a rail crew shuttle company. If they find out you did any backing without calling the boss first they'll fire you. Companies are getting mighty upset with backing accidents.
I love this channel! I love the scenery and music additions. I'd love to see more of you doing the physical stuff. I'd be cool to see maps of your routes etc. Keep up the awesome work!!
When you were backing into the dock I couldn't help but notice your dog (Dakota?) kept looking back through the passenger side as if to say, "you're good over here, yeah, just a little further, you got this". lol That's what those of us in the business like to call 'cute'.
I work in shipping department and I’m always curious as to what a trucker does and goes though delivering loads. Love the content you definitely have a subscriber
This is my 1st time watching your video and I want to say thank you. You and I are about the same size (body) and height and I have my driver’s license but I have anxiety about driving and you are giving me so much inspiration for being a small woman bad ass driving a big ass truck. Be safe on the road and love that you have your dog for protection and company. 🙏🏾 Thank you
I think you're doing a great job.You're a very sweet kind person,like a breath of fresh air!The world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it.Just watching your videos lifts my spirits!. John Guinto
I played about 700 hours on American Truck Simulator, and I can never drive a truck for that amount of time in real life. Thank you for showing what truck drivers do.
Just be who YOU are and the content you want to share. Being yourself makes the VLOG the most authentic in my mind. You are not going to please everyone. Thanks for sharing.
I have had the opportunity to view many trucking related channels, and videos- on UA-cam. I must say that this one is very fresh, original, refreshing and inspiring. The music, the cinematography- including camera angles- is visually appeasing, and the narration is upbeat and heartening. Thank you for shinning rays of fun to an otherwise gloomy and somber profession.
OMG, You're Absolutely Gorgeous, and you really seem to know what you're doing!! I'm an OTR driver, have been for 28 years. I'm impressed with your skills!!! Keep up the fantastic work, and keep making the video's!!!
I am also a small 5’0 girl who thought I couldn’t be in the industry due to my size. Thank you for offering representation for the women or for the smaller people in a traditionally masculine and hardy industry. I’ve just contacted my local truck school, thank you!!!
Love the format you have going on your videos. Another aspect I like is how you explain everything for those that dont know the industry. I think that check point you went thru would be those agricultural checkpoints.
Since you asked...I have to say, your editing/production is amazing, it's like watching a real TV show, love it! I think it's a perfect amount/mix of B-roll and you talking, they really complement each other very well. Oh, and the music, it's like a perfect choice, really enjoyable. The only thing I would like to see (and this is just because I am not familiar with all the cities in the States) is like a route from point A to point B on a map at the start of your journey perhaps. But anyway Shelby, just keep doing what you are doing, it's honestly AMAZING! And say hi to that beautiful dog :D
Bad driving Croatia nothing personal & don't take it the wrong way but look at it logically & safety wise. There's some sick mf's & stalkers, creepers, not a good idea for Shelby to do the map thing. Especially since shelby will probably do these routes often. And Shelby edit your videos take out ur truck number not a good idea. Just looking out for you, from one female to another. Would luv to chat some time I'm on fb msg me if u want.
I used to be a flatbedder. When I drove across northern Nevada, and needed to stop short of Reno, I hit the TA at Mill City, or the Wadsworth rest area. I tried the Sparks TA once, I actually liked the rest area if I had a few hours. I used the RV water to bucket wash my tractor. Some times I could not wait until the company paid for a wash. I was hauling an over-length load to Turlock and was stopped by a Nevada HP just as I was getting ready to climb out of Reno. He pulled out a tape measure to check my chains on the load. One was dead on 10 feet. He looked bummed that he could not issue me a ticket. Be safe!
I found your other video yesterday and I’m so happy that you posted today! I just started driving a cargo van because I love driving I love the road and sight seeing. I would really like to get into a big truck so I think this is a good start for me to know what that life is like! You should make a video about the things you look for on the truck like inspections before you take off and explain everything you got going on by the steering wheel. Like what does what
Shelby - I drove for more than 20 years and learned the trade from my dad who drove for 42 years. You handle that rig as well as any I've ever seen. Keep doing what you're doing sweetie - because you're doing it right! 💖💖💖
I think there are a lot of us non-truckers out there that will enjoy these videos. As far as specific content, I think sharing as much as you are comfortable with sharing would be great. That can be things like the daily struggles or daily joys of the job, things that frustrate you on the road and anything that would help spread some knowledge about the industry to those of us that share the interstates with you all. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I would like to see you and your truck driving down a highway from the outside. And also to see you in action the work part of it loading and unloading. And parking it. Keep up the convo and Dakota and those awesome videos and scenery 💪🏻
I'm sooooo glad that I got rid of my newer truck & got a non eld one. FMCSA/DOT has no freaking idea what it's like dealing with shippers, receivers & brokers. Our operating times are screwed up daily dealing with nonsense that's out of our control. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. I love it even more now because I have FULL control of my running times; not some freaking box. I'm a safe driver, but that eld will screw you up when you're running behind. And don't come at me with that load planning bullsh××. Heck, you can "plan" on being loaded or unloaded at a specific time. But warehouses can totally screw that up. Great video though. Be safe.
Just getting used to the box. Not a real issue as I'm flat deck, so I have very little Appt times. . I could care less. All it changed was the extra time you slipped into a day. As I see it now, I just say to Dispatch.( I'll take it, but I cant do it at that time, They will have to wait till tommorrow, Or Im on rollover I'll get there when I get there. And many other thing that I know make Dispatch pull there hair out.)
My favorite part of driving and getting to a destination: A few minutes to dock and then a 45+ minute hike inside searching for a human. Then probably getting yelled at for nothing when you finally find one. Good times.
The other day I was delivering to Walmart, the lady at the desk asked for my number so she could call when they’re done unloading. She wrote down my number wrong and then yelled at me like it was my fault I didn’t get the phone call lol
@@AsTheWheelsTurn Because nobody is at the booth or answered the bell or answered the number you should call and it's like a ghost town inside a huge warehouse. After a half hour you can't take it anymore and go searching (when you know you shouldn't). When you found them they yelled at you for walking around where you shouldn't be. On a good note they would probably fight you too if you chose that route. Pretty standard warehouse stuff.
Truckers are the most important! From the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your back, the food you eat, the car you drive, the lumber your house is built from, all your electronics, your toys, etc... ALL came on a semi truck.. Yes, some are jerks, but most are the BEST people you will have the pleasure to meet. Please give them room on the highways & let them merge in with traffic.
I drive trucks on a smaller scale (24 ft box trucks) and I like it. I'm based out of los angeles and work for a company that works primarily for bands and artists. I'm actually headed out to Vegas tomorrow for Christina Aguilera, I have all her gear. Anyways, I love to see a beautiful woman in this business. You're doing great
Freight Shaker or Kw If you want to look at check engine lights and sensors buy a sounds like a dd15 under the hood. You have a new subscriber, your videos are fantastic!!!
I like the style of your vlogs now where you edit in in guessing what Dakota is saying throughout your uploads that’s always entertaining to me at least I don’t know about anyone else and I enjoy your journey as a female truck driver you are an amazing woman for showing other truck drivers your kindness the trailer fire upload you filmed that is a key truckers code to assist a truck driver in a emergency that is a true definition of a real truck driver who is there to help if you are in the vicinity I would not change anything as in what you decide to do in your uploads Dakota captions are entertaining the upload with Dakota driving your truck while you were retrieved the recovery semi truck was entertaining to watch 🙂 keep on truckin Shelby and this is off topic just a little bit but have you ever thought of leasing your own semi truck if the western star semi you are always driving is not a truck that you are not leasing because you have not ever said you are leasing the western star semi I was just curious about that aspect of your job and if you were leasing your own semi truck you could park your truck in front of your house instead of in the yard and the dispatch would notify you of your loads instead of going to the dispatch office to pick up the paperwork for your loads they could be faxed to your house then you could get on the road quicker
Really Olivia "this is probably the coolest (and most original) thing I've seen on YT" how the hell is this the most original channel on UA-cam?? There are thousands of this type of video channels (exactly the same), is there something wrong with your brain (or), does she just turn you on?
@@Olivia-jc4gs Lov ya baby, your a strong woman definitely have a great personality and don't take no shit from anyone...just teasing you!! Have a good one!!
Love what your doing , kinda a mixed bag of scenery, comments and dog. Love the dog comments. Also think your attitude is great. You tackle a lot of situations that many men couldn’t do. Your smart, kind snd cute. Stay safe
Hi there. I did what you are doing now for well over 20 years. I am retired now. I started in the late 60s and retired in the late 90s. The thing that impresses me the most is the way the equipment has changed over the years. We didn't have power steering back then. Nor did we have air ride. They inside of the tractors is so much nicer now as well. The biggest thing is we didn't have a lot of women in the industry then as you do now. I wish you much success and happy trails as you drive down the road of life.
You should really be proud of yourself!!!! It’s amazing what you do. Not because you’re a girl truck driver, but because you could tell you love what you do. Bebsafe out there!!
So here are some ideas for you. 1. How are you paid? Is it by the mail, by the trip? 2. How do you go about getting a CDL license. 3. For those of us who do not drive large trucks, what are the differences between what you do vs. everyone else out there in a Toyota? 4. What is annoying to you? Great job on your logs, keep up the great work!
Hey, love your videos and your dog! I’m definitely interested to hear about how you got into trucking and the process. I work for FedEx Express as a courier and I’ve always taken interest in becoming a trailer driver. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
The casino in downtown Winnemucca, Nevada on the main street has a wonderful chef in the restaurant. The corn chowder was delicious beyond words. They also make a fabulous breakfast. One thing you can say about most casinos is; not only do most of them have overnight parking for 18 wheelers but they also have 24 hour restaurants which allow you to have breakfast, lunch or dinner at any hour.
@@Ravi-ls8zq she will not reply because she does nothing.....someone edits and post and someone else put a heart on every nice comment just to get the youtube revenues
This is fascinating! Thank you for sharing. I'm curious to know you morning/night routine. How do you start and end the day after doing your loads? How long are you usually gone when you have to work (are you gone for weeks/days)?
I love your videos , I instantly subscribed and followed on IG . I’m headed to CDL school later this month . I look forward to more of your videos ! ❤️
Love it , keep up with the videos . Your changing a whole POV for truckers but also for women who wants to start and the ones that are already out there . 💪💪😊. PS. Dakota is awesome 🐺🐾.
Never been to CA but it makes my heart beat when my pre pass goes red and I have to pull in any scale house it makes you think your overweight but no overweight fines yet
My Dad has been trucking since 1991 or so and he loves it. Watching your videos gives me a bit of insight into the life he lived on the road. He just does local stuff now but still driving. It is an honorable profession and props to you for pursuing it. Definitely enjoying your videos!
I did a dedicated run from Fernley, NV to Fremont, CA for 8 years and I really enjoyed the trip. The chaining season was always the most interesting time of the year.
@@Dannyjoemustanggt Angelica doesn't have drama going on, have you seen her latest video? She is home and on vacation having fun up in the north country.
You are doing great on your videos. What I like seeing is Talking about the trips and what you are doing, seeing the areas you are driving, and the truck stops/gas station pick ups (Food and Drink)
This is so awesome! You are a badass. I grew up around trucking since I was a little girl. My dad used to be one and now my older brother. Brings back so many memories of when my dad used to take us on loads and he would let me steer the wheel . You have great content 👍
The B -rolls are definitely the nicest thing to watch, but the talking parts are not bad either, your truckers eye-candy. The combination is what this video great, not all the same and not to long. Great job. Happy to sub
I’m so happy that I have found you on here! I have been thinking about starting truck driving school for a while now. Seeing other women do it is super motivating 💕
I think what your doing is wonderful and a true testimony in having pride in what you do professionally. As a young kid and I can remember back that far, trucking was a profession I seriously considered, yet for whatever reason, it never happened. Today the industry has changed dramatically, with the increased size of tractor/trailer setups and the movement of product throughout the country. It’s a crazy time in this world with the pandemic, but with it, comes time to reflect on all of us working together. Your a mentor personified and I have no doubt you will be an inspiration to many in the years to come. I never had any of my own kids, yet if I had, you would of been the perfect daughter. Be safe, continue to be happy and give your road companion a scratch on on the neck. Cheers and I’m hooked on your travels. 😉
This is so awesome, a lot of people think the life of a trucker is all glamour, but it is not. Truckers have to calculate their hours and find the balance between rolling and stopping (teams is even more difficult). I had to keep track of my hours and since I worked two jobs, it is up to the driver to keep the paperwork straight and you know you are going to get pulled in at least once a month. I loved the upbeat music, keep vlogging. Stay safe young lassy.
I have only been driving a little over two years now, and I've been inspected 3 times.😑 My husband has been driving for almost 6 years and hes never been inspected. 😂
First, I want to say I really respect what you are doing and think it is awesome you are sharing your experience. I started in the industry as a flatbed driver 7 years ago and after a year became a specialized truck driver in the heavy haul side. I fell in love with the industry and what I do. Eventually I took a management position at my company and now I manage the equipment I drove and still drive from time to time. I also manage other heavy equipment. My company like the rest of the trucking world struggles to get good drivers (also young drivers). I I have a hard time coming to grips with that because of how I feel about being a driver. I started to take our trucks into the community so kids can “touch a truck” and learn about what we do. During a tour of our facility, I had an opportunity to speak to some high school students. The group was mostly made up of girls. I expressed how the industry’s demographic is changing and women are part of that change! From the videos I’ve watched of yours, you will be a great asset to the industry and the recruitment of young women and other drivers. The professionalism behind your videos and style shows that trucking can be an exciting and adventurous career. Thank you for shining some good light on a passion of mine. I would love to connect and hear more of your thoughts, but if not keep on truckin’ and stay safe!
Y'all making some high quality vlogs, well done! 👌
I used to watch your videos all the time!! I kind of fell off the UA-cam wagon for a bit. I love your stuff!
@@ShelbyHBTM thank you I appreciate it! I'll be watching your stuff, it's great filmmaking
Cool as heck when two yotubers you watch, watch each other. 🤣
Crazy good videos! It’s like you have a production team of 10 people working on these and have been doing it for a decade. Now I’m off the to see if Vasilly put one up. Vas, time to pull up the socks man you got some crazy competition here 😉

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you do a variety of loads! Store deliveries in the first vlog and now an unload at a DC. Love the vids, nice to see a fellow lady trucker ✌
Would want to know how you stay healthy doing the job and how it effects your social life having a trucker schedule
I can tell it takes a lot of self discipline. Shelby has it. I don't. lol
Prep food major part stay away from the truck stop Garbage!
The way you present yourself is amazing
My wife and I drove as a team for years and I am tickled to see more females in the industry.

I was hauling an over-length load to Turlock and was stopped by a Nevada HP just as I was getting ready to climb out of Reno. He pulled out a tape measure to check my chains on the load. One was dead on 10 feet. He looked bummed that he could not issue me a ticket. Be safe!
I found your other video yesterday and I’m so happy that you posted today! I just started driving a cargo van because I love driving I love the road and sight seeing. I would really like to get into a big truck so I think this is a good start for me to know what that life is like! You should make a video about the things you look for on the truck like inspections before you take off and explain everything you got going on by the steering wheel. Like what does what
Love the music and the sites. Stay safe young lady.
Shelby - I drove for more than 20 years and learned the trade from my dad who drove for 42 years. You handle that rig as well as any I've ever seen. Keep doing what you're doing sweetie - because you're doing it right! 💖💖💖
I think there are a lot of us non-truckers out there that will enjoy these videos. As far as specific content, I think sharing as much as you are comfortable with sharing would be great. That can be things like the daily struggles or daily joys of the job, things that frustrate you on the road and anything that would help spread some knowledge about the industry to those of us that share the interstates with you all. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I would like to see you and your truck driving down a highway from the outside. And also to see you in action the work part of it loading and unloading.
And parking it. Keep up the convo and Dakota and those awesome videos and scenery 💪🏻
your puppy is adorable. i miss driving, was a flatbed driver 10+ years ago. no boss watching over your shoulder and freedom of the road. it was great
puppy? wtf? it's a grown dog
@@PCBoardRepair nonsense, all dogs are puppies, look how he is to try to play with inspector at check pt. he just wants to play. just a puppy.
forget it....she doesnt even reply.....waste of time.....she and her live in producer are just in it for the youtube money
you get a heart from the s***
I'm sooooo glad that I got rid of my newer truck & got a non eld one. FMCSA/DOT has no freaking idea what it's like dealing with shippers, receivers & brokers. Our operating times are screwed up daily dealing with nonsense that's out of our control. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. I love it even more now because I have FULL control of my running times; not some freaking box. I'm a safe driver, but that eld will screw you up when you're running behind. And don't come at me with that load planning bullsh××. Heck, you can "plan" on being loaded or unloaded at a specific time. But warehouses can totally screw that up. Great video though. Be safe.
Just getting used to the box. Not a real issue as I'm flat deck, so I have very little Appt times. . I could care less. All it changed was the extra time you slipped into a day. As I see it now, I just say to Dispatch.( I'll take it, but I cant do it at that time, They will have to wait till tommorrow, Or Im on rollover I'll get there when I get there. And many other thing that I know make Dispatch pull there hair out.)
My favorite part of driving and getting to a destination: A few minutes to dock and then a 45+ minute hike inside searching for a human. Then probably getting yelled at for nothing when you finally find one. Good times.
Ha, I got yelled at today!
why would anyone be yelling at you? I would not tolerate that shit.
The other day I was delivering to Walmart, the lady at the desk asked for my number so she could call when they’re done unloading. She wrote down my number wrong and then yelled at me like it was my fault I didn’t get the phone call lol
@@AsTheWheelsTurn Because nobody is at the booth or answered the bell or answered the number you should call and it's like a ghost town inside a huge warehouse. After a half hour you can't take it anymore and go searching (when you know you shouldn't). When you found them they yelled at you for walking around where you shouldn't be. On a good note they would probably fight you too if you chose that route. Pretty standard warehouse stuff.
Truckers are the most important! From the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your back, the food you eat, the car you drive, the lumber your house is built from, all your electronics, your toys, etc... ALL came on a semi truck.. Yes, some are jerks, but most are the BEST people you will have the pleasure to meet. Please give them room on the highways & let them merge in with traffic.
I drive trucks on a smaller scale (24 ft box trucks) and I like it. I'm based out of los angeles and work for a company that works primarily for bands and artists. I'm actually headed out to Vegas tomorrow for Christina Aguilera, I have all her gear. Anyways, I love to see a beautiful woman in this business. You're doing great
The video editing is going to hold a lot of people. This is how vlogs should be, clean and smooth . A w900 would look good with you
Mayhem 101 which ever one, as long as it look old school
Dellville 720G those would be badass lol let’s wait on the steering wheel holder to say a Volvo would look good 😆
@@davidg11134 haha Volvos are pure junk!
Freight Shaker or Kw
If you want to look at check engine lights and sensors buy a sounds like a dd15 under the hood. You have a new subscriber, your videos are fantastic!!!
A Kenworth semi truck would be perfect for you because they are a spacious semi truck in my opinion
honestly you're kind of iconic, this is probably the coolest (and most original) thing I've seen on YT
I agree too hope everyones safe . Keep on truckin guys and gals . Cool dog u got hun love the shades it wears lol gotta protect those peeps lol . Ian
I like the style of your vlogs now where you edit in in guessing what Dakota is saying throughout your uploads that’s always entertaining to me at least I don’t know about anyone else and I enjoy your journey as a female truck driver you are an amazing woman for showing other truck drivers your kindness the trailer fire upload you filmed that is a key truckers code to assist a truck driver in a emergency that is a true definition of a real truck driver who is there to help if you are in the vicinity I would not change anything as in what you decide to do in your uploads Dakota captions are entertaining the upload with Dakota driving your truck while you were retrieved the recovery semi truck was entertaining to watch 🙂 keep on truckin Shelby and this is off topic just a little bit but have you ever thought of leasing your own semi truck if the western star semi you are always driving is not a truck that you are not leasing because you have not ever said you are leasing the western star semi I was just curious about that aspect of your job and if you were leasing your own semi truck you could park your truck in front of your house instead of in the yard and the dispatch would notify you of your loads instead of going to the dispatch office to pick up the paperwork for your loads they could be faxed to your house then you could get on the road quicker
Really Olivia "this is probably the coolest (and most original) thing I've seen on YT" how the hell is this the most original channel on UA-cam?? There are thousands of this type of video channels (exactly the same), is there something wrong with your brain (or), does she just turn you on?
^found the virgin lmaoooooooo
your blood pressure will go down if you stop being so angry all the time simp
@@Olivia-jc4gs Lov ya baby, your a strong woman definitely have a great personality and don't take no shit from anyone...just teasing you!! Have a good one!!
These are amazing high quality and you are an inspiring woman
🥰
Love what your doing , kinda a mixed bag of scenery, comments and dog. Love the dog comments. Also think your attitude is great. You tackle a lot of situations that many men couldn’t do. Your smart, kind snd cute. Stay safe
Hi there. I did what you are doing now for well over 20 years. I am retired now. I started in the late 60s and retired in the late 90s. The thing that impresses me the most is the way the equipment has changed over the years. We didn't have power steering back then. Nor did we have air ride. They inside of the tractors is so much nicer now as well. The biggest thing is we didn't have a lot of women in the industry then as you do now. I wish you much success and happy trails as you drive down the road of life.
That heart beat sound on the DOT scale is exactly how I feel every time 😅
Just blow the scales...ta da!
Your video edits are top notch can't wait for the next one. Safe travels.
Safe Travels Shelby and whom ever. Your Dog is so adorable ♡ much love and respect.
You should really be proud of yourself!!!! It’s amazing what you do. Not because you’re a girl truck driver, but because you could tell you love what you do. Bebsafe out there!!
So here are some ideas for you. 1. How are you paid? Is it by the mail, by the trip? 2. How do you go about getting a CDL license. 3. For those of us who do not drive large trucks, what are the differences between what you do vs. everyone else out there in a Toyota? 4. What is annoying to you? Great job on your logs, keep up the great work!
This just show up on my feed and i loved. I always wanted to drive trucks but never could .. New subscriber here!
I’m very proud you you! We definitely need more women in the Industry please keep up with the good work and great videos
We definitely need more women out on the road.
Hey, love your videos and your dog! I’m definitely interested to hear about how you got into trucking and the process. I work for FedEx Express as a courier and I’ve always taken interest in becoming a trailer driver. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Your videos are helping me fall in love with trucking
The casino in downtown Winnemucca, Nevada on the main street has a wonderful chef in the restaurant. The corn chowder was delicious beyond words. They also make a fabulous breakfast.
One thing you can say about most casinos is; not only do most of them have overnight parking for 18 wheelers but they also have 24 hour restaurants which allow you to have breakfast, lunch or dinner at any hour.
👍👌❤🇨🇦, just keep doing what you doing, excellent video, music was spot on, top notch editing
This was up in my recommended and I quite liked it. The content and editing were excellent. SUBSCRIBED!
Keep those videos a coming miss shel by you've got my backing 100%
Good to see you out there doing your thing. I’m a diesel mechanic in PA

Hey
@@Ravi-ls8zq she will not reply because she does nothing.....someone edits and post and someone else put a heart on every nice comment just to get the youtube revenues
This is fascinating! Thank you for sharing. I'm curious to know you morning/night routine. How do you start and end the day after doing your loads? How long are you usually gone when you have to work (are you gone for weeks/days)?
Cool
I love your videos , I instantly subscribed and followed on IG . I’m headed to CDL school later this month . I look forward to more of your videos ! ❤️
Make sure you learn manual transmission......if she has a restricted lisence she's gonna be missing ALOT of oppurtunities
Lead driver of a cross dock here! Keep on piling on the miles and doing us all proud!
Love it , keep up with the videos . Your changing a whole POV for truckers but also for women who wants to start and the ones that are already out there . 💪💪😊. PS. Dakota is awesome 🐺🐾.
I love the fact that you do this!!! I’m getting ready to start driving for UPS and I’m super excited!!!!
FedEx want their gloves back. lol 😂
No purple is my color though! lol
The way how you put the heart beating effect on the entering scale is priceless 😄😁 LOL
Yeah, that's CA scales for ya....don't miss that too much lol
Never been to CA but it makes my heart beat when my pre pass goes red and I have to pull in any scale house it makes you think your overweight but no overweight fines yet
My Dad has been trucking since 1991 or so and he loves it. Watching your videos gives me a bit of insight into the life he lived on the road. He just does local stuff now but still driving. It is an honorable profession and props to you for pursuing it. Definitely enjoying your videos!
I did a dedicated run from Fernley, NV to Fremont, CA for 8 years and I really enjoyed the trip. The chaining season was always the most interesting time of the year.
Your editing skills are on point..
Hey
She uses the help of a professional, the link is in her description
www.blackkodiakmedia.com/
Wow she actually hired a producer to film trucking vlog. Never knew it was that serious.
3fiddy2720 in guessing it is her boyfriend or husband as he has pics of her on the Instagram profile she tagged.
@@derekcurtis51 The photos on IG are my professional photos I took of her. I have clients all around the world.
Great job backing into the dock! You go girl!!!!
you and Angelica Larsson would make great partners..Glad to subscribe..
@RT 87 Behave !
Angelica has drama going on may not see her for a bit until she sorts things out
James Kinsey you are correct, the edits are so good I did not notice them at first, which is very high praise.
Angelica is on another level.Have you heard Angelica's sweet voice.It would amaze you
@@Dannyjoemustanggt Angelica doesn't have drama going on, have you seen her latest video? She is home and on vacation having fun up in the north country.
Great videos u put out. I'm a truck driver from Fresno, Ca. Been driving 10 yrs. Be safe out there!
I retired about 5yrs ago after 30yrs of trucking didn’t really miss it till I watched your video so thanks for the itch to get on the road and go
When you first started truckin, what was the most difficult part of the job for you?
Your editing is top notch, love it.
I'm glad to see that you have a large dog with you. Stay safe and enjoy.
You are doing great on your videos. What I like seeing is Talking about the trips and what you are doing, seeing the areas you are driving, and the truck stops/gas station pick ups (Food and Drink)
This is so awesome! You are a badass. I grew up around trucking since I was a little girl. My dad used to be one and now my older brother. Brings back so many memories of when my dad used to take us on loads and he would let me steer the wheel . You have great content 👍
The B -rolls are definitely the nicest thing to watch, but the talking parts are not bad either, your truckers eye-candy. The combination is what this video great, not all the same and not to long. Great job. Happy to sub
I’m so happy that I have found you on here! I have been thinking about starting truck driving school for a while now. Seeing other women do it is super motivating 💕
Abyss thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely keep this in mind!
11:29 Like a Boss!!! Great Job!!!
I think what your doing is wonderful and a true testimony in having pride in what you do professionally. As a young kid and I can remember back that far, trucking was a profession I seriously considered, yet for whatever reason, it never happened. Today the industry has changed dramatically, with the increased size of tractor/trailer setups and the movement of product throughout the country. It’s a crazy time in this world with the pandemic, but with it, comes time to reflect on all of us working together. Your a mentor personified and I have no doubt you will be an inspiration to many in the years to come. I never had any of my own kids, yet if I had, you would of been the perfect daughter. Be safe, continue to be happy and give your road companion a scratch on on the neck. Cheers and I’m hooked on your travels. 😉
This is so awesome, a lot of people think the life of a trucker is all glamour, but it is not. Truckers have to calculate their hours and find the balance between rolling and stopping (teams is even more difficult). I had to keep track of my hours and since I worked two jobs, it is up to the driver to keep the paperwork straight and you know you are going to get pulled in at least once a month. I loved the upbeat music, keep vlogging. Stay safe young lassy.
3:58 Hey, wow, easy on those curtains , was sleeping. Too early, five more minutes..........
😂
Idea!! I would love to see your. “favorite” or “go to” snack foods at various truck stops.
I have only been driving a little over two years now, and I've been inspected 3 times.😑 My husband has been driving for almost 6 years and hes never been inspected. 😂
Haul hazmat and you will start to know the troopers by name.
@@rob1603 lol!
You have no idea how much I love hearing that motor.
First, I want to say I really respect what you are doing and think it is awesome you are sharing your experience.
I started in the industry as a flatbed driver 7 years ago and after a year became a specialized truck driver in the heavy haul side. I fell in love with the industry and what I do. Eventually I took a management position at my company and now I manage the equipment I drove and still drive from time to time. I also manage other heavy equipment.
My company like the rest of the trucking world struggles to get good drivers (also young drivers). I I have a hard time coming to grips with that because of how I feel about being a driver. I started to take our trucks into the community so kids can “touch a truck” and learn about what we do. During a tour of our facility, I had an opportunity to speak to some high school students. The group was mostly made up of girls. I expressed how the industry’s demographic is changing and women are part of that change! From the videos I’ve watched of yours, you will be a great asset to the industry and the recruitment of young women and other drivers. The professionalism behind your videos and style shows that trucking can be an exciting and adventurous career. Thank you for shining some good light on a passion of mine.
I would love to connect and hear more of your thoughts, but if not keep on truckin’ and stay safe!
