    One of the best you've ever done. There ain't no drama, like trucking drama. Hang in there brother trucker.

    I went through the headlight situation little did I know on the t680 there is a fuse for the headlights low and high beam in the fuse box under the hood i bought new bulbs still didn’t work only to discover it was a blow fuse… almost took it in to the shop glad I didn’t but always carry a extra low and high beam bulb simple but easy violations…. I definitely like the real deal content because it helps the rest of us that’s out here doing the same…. I applied to Oakley really looking forward to coming there would love to get more insight into the company from you…. Either way it’s all good at the end of the day we all just got to take the Hit and “keep it moving”…..Be Blessed!

      Thank you for the feedback man. I’ll check and see if maybe there’s a fuse situation like you mentioned. Cause it’s driving me nuts. When they contact you back could you mention I referred you please. Just tell them Cruz in truck 10343. They are a great company to work for. My two year mark is with them next week.

      @@CruzTube ok great but the fuse that may be a place to start asked for the referral. I actually used another guy when I first started looking at Oakley. Sorry about that but the communication with him is a little lacking. I think he just wanted the referral and that’s the only problem that I’m having right now trying to get some real detailed information.

      @@sedrickwilliams2343 yea I feel you on that man. I’ll shoot it straight with you with any questions you have. That’s sort of the rock and hard spot I’m in right now. I don’t promote on here using me as a referral unless it comes up. But I’ve seen several guys come over here and say they found out cause of my videos. But than I don’t get a bonus from it. I didn’t start my UA-cam to make referral money. But sometimes I’m like dang that would be nice to be getting bonuses. Either way, whatever question you have I’ll be glad to answer you.

    Great video despite all your problems. It's the little things that usually pile up into a bigger problems. As being stuck could happen to anyone. Remember that you checked the ground. Remember it is the real time life of the owner operator. Dust yourself off and KEEP ON TRUCKING. STAY SAFE

You’re one of the few guys here at Oakley I appreciate watching , for content, information, and motivation… I’m at Oakley too, so it’s cool seeing some of the loads you haul… coming out of NC I don’t really run a lot of that stuff, nor do I get out to TX often,, mostly fertilizer, granules, and coke , home every weekend ….
