I don’t know why everyone hates on this guy. “He cleans his hand too often” “he doesn’t have 3 peddles” “ he always uses his 4 ways click clack click clack” “ he’s not a real man” “work at Walmart or go flip burgers”
Mans out here driving a huge ass truck while most people his age are still living at home with their parents. He’s only been doing this job less than a handful of years. Yes he has a lot to learn but he’s doing a job most people don’t want to do. 70/36 splits are not easy and being away from home for 6 weeks isn’t easy either. He’s just documenting his journey. Despite all your complaints he still has a level head and his company is obviously very happy with him and the way he drives or else he would have been fired.
I am thrilled that he edits the 45 min parking jobs now.
😂😂 chill
I swear he uses his hazard lights more in one video then I do all week 😂
Hard to get away with not using them when you record everything
And I’ve always hated the noise of freightliner blinkers lol
Your trucker too
I would just put my 30 minute break down for when you are trying to back into the dock lol
😂😂😂
Some of you commenting on Alex's videos,
I guess you missed where Alex's goal is to make a lot of money and go back to his home country with his girlfriend and live in a house on a mountain/hill. I just wonder what your goal is by slandering Alex , you probably do it to others also Maybe it makes you feel better about your own inadequacies in life. I think it says much for Alex's character that he sees these many slanderous comments by many legends in their own mind and never replies or defends himself, he just goes about his job. Many on here always cutting him down really should stand in front of a mirror and take a good long look at the one in the mirror. It must astounding to have such magnificent appearance and intelligence who never makes mistakes. No you would rather pick on some young guy doing his job to the best of his ability, which is an outstanding job.
2nd love the videos but you gotta ask for directions where to go instead of just driving and guessing where the Office is when going to Shipper/Receiving. 3rd gotta clean your trailer every load after done, so the next load doesn’t complain or have you clean it right there on-site. Forklift drivers hate waiting for a Driver. They just want to get the load done and get you out
Keep up good work
Well hello my brother great to see you on the move once again keep up the great work .
Proud of you. You have not mentioned wanting a Kenworth for sometime.
Love your channel from Alabama
Those are trandmissions going to AL to the Kia and Hyundai plants those loads are 42k-44k usually on the BOL's that weight is in kg
14:20 love the new animation, Alex!
Glad to see that you were in Alabama that's my home state and still is
I really enjoy your videos.. you do a great job!
Love the vids
I used to drive truck but am very grateful that blood clots in my right leg happened and I left the industry.
I discovered that I have a somewhat rare condition (factor V Leiden thrombophilia) where I am prone to blood clotting. I always wondered why I healed so fast from a cut! I immediately was place on blood thinner medication. Had I not gotten into trucking and developed blood clots I could've likely *never* known I was prone to clotting and it could've killed me on down the road (no pun intended).
As for leaving the industry...I loved it but the drivers I see coming out of schools are just terrible.
It's very refreshing to see Alex here who is slow, patient and methodical. He is doing things the right way.
I love that you do some that scares you and raises your anxiety
I can’t wait to run into Alex one day lol
Loved the country music
I think he needs to check his blinker fluid.
It was on a bit earlier
Good Morning(Evening) From Sweden
Big bucks bro
Alex started talkin like Boomhauer at 3:21
Alex just hang in there. You will have good days & bad days that nothing go right. That’s just is life. You are wheeling that Tk a whole lot better. Will not be long it becomes a automatically habit on set-ups & backing up straight at every dock. No way right now I would go independent. Trucking business in a long run is too unstable right now.
That's heritage freight warehouse about 5 miles from my house. You were picking up engine blocks
Great work, keep it up. Always enjoying the videos, looking forward to the next one. Thanks
I did that once, picked up a load, never added up all the bols.
I also picked up a 30,000 pound load of recycle going about 500 miles across 3 states. I drove across 3 scales, waved through. When I got to receiver I found out I was nearly 3,000 pounds over gross. Unlike your load, it felt like I only had 25,000 pounds.
good morning!!
Rolls of paper gonna be good to watch. They are definitely heavy...
I'm a former paper mill worker , amongst other jobs I've had. LoL
Knowing your vids are Months behind is insane. Like watching months in the past. Update your vids regularly
@@mountuplikeaneagle as one of his viewers and subscriber? Who do you think he makes the vid for?
It's probably intentional, so he always has new videos to release.
@@Commy01 it's also a good way to make sure people can't find out where he is.
Its called working...if you don't like the video schedule dont watch
Great video Alex you really know how to impress us
lol oook
Enjoying your videos every single episode...... curious question: do you have an APU or how do you keep your sleeping quarters cool at night? Thanks for your answer....
He has an APU/EPU. That black box-fan looking thing on the back of his truck is part of it.
Alex, is the trucking getting less loads or cecoming softer?
❤
I've only been overweight one time and it was from Campbells. The nearest cat scale was 100 miles, I think they do that on purpose. Waste of time to travel 100 miles to scale, then come back all the way back to make them fix it. I just rode dirty, I'm a night driver anyway so all the weigh stations were closed.
Me too. I was lucky that on my way to St. Louis from the Chicago area were lots of CAT scales. Was over about 6000 lbs in total and overweight on one of the axles. I drove the load right back to my terminal and said I wasn't going to deliver the load. I-55 in Illinois on the way to St. Louis has weigh stations open 24/7.
What phone holder are you using?
The great state of Alabama! We actually have a handful of clients out that way. Never have been before but hope to travel there some day. By the way, I sent you an email earlier last week. Would really appreciate a reply if you find any value! -Brandon Rothrock
Do you make any money doing all those short loads
Alabama don’t ship light loads. Everything is heavy. 🤣🤣🤣
Heavy loads 😂
Even the Woman!!!! 😂😂
NEVER just go and head to a Truck Stop to shutdown until you Scale your load. Doesn’t matter if it’s a light load because thats a good way to get a ticket that your going to pay for. Always scale every load
Thats a stupid idea theres no reason to scale a load below 30,000 lbs smart guy...
So if I have a 1 pallet load that weighs 1124 lbs I should go scale it right
This is what I want to do when I get in the US I’m from Liberia 🇱🇷
I'm actually very curious how to get started in trucking. My cousin went to job corps a long time ago and that's the job training he chose. So he knows how to drive truck.
Go to a trucking school
I have found that community college trucking schools are the best.
Lots of one-on-one instruction, LOTS of driving/backing coupled with classroom instruction on trip planning, how most trucks work, how to maintain them, etc. The one I went to even had a very sophisticated truck driving simulator that was pretty realistic.
Hi Alex. Goood running for you at last you have work nor like so many over there from what we read here in Australia. I rad where Fuel is know way expensive. You buy a Gallon over there for some thing lke $5 . Here in Aus we pay abt 23 Cents per litre. Figure that out why you ar complaining when we pay this and we only get 4.45 litres to a gallon. know that is dam exspensive. Just one question for you Alex with all your travells when and how do you keep the Freighliner Maintained not just the normal serice but Brakes Wheel Bearings etc? Take care and be safe . Aussie Bob.
Have you been to Seattle?
Hills boy .no mountains in Alabama
Bout the time Alex finished to backup on that dock, the warehouse will be close 🙄😂
Please, clean out those p1$$ bottles. Trucking doesn’t have to be disgusting.
Inside the dock door was a garbage can.
Some places don't like the truck drivers to come into their warehouses/facilities...liability issues.
You can get into and out of the trailer much easier if you close the left side door first.
Did you mean Clanton Alabama? I live in Birmingham and I know that ramp all too well lol
Love how your required to sweep out your trailer, but if you step into some of these warehouses where all the freight is stored on the floor there is probably all kinds of debris on the floor.
exactly how dirty are the insides of your gloves ??
Do you ever settle, Alex? If you do, where do you actually live?
Always check your paperwork. You assumed you were right on the weight. But then no one is perfect, right?
Alex I'm big fan of you and I always like your video but I have question for you please tell me the right if I buy truck and give it to driver how much I got per week.i know it depends but like average and question number 2 where can I get driver ( how to hire a driver) please Alex help me with that tank you for all your videos. waiting your answer 🙏
Dude that question is impossible to answer. It depends on what you’re carting, how far it’s going, how many loads you do, everything. It’s impossible to even give an average. Same as a driver, you can get one fresh out of trucking school who might accept lower amounts per load, or you might find a professional who has 20 years experience but wants a lot more money.
Hey Alex Do any of of the shippers and receivers monitor Ch-19 ? Would be easy to just give them a shout when you are coming in.
Not many places use cbs. Cell phones ended the need. Many of the large carriers don't even allow them in the truck.
@@TruckingForHermes @TruckingForHermes It is a very useful tool for the trucker. Will your phone tell you the LUVS is full and you should go to the TOA ? Will it tell you how to get to a particular shipper/receiver's docks ? Will it tell you a accident just happened and to back it down fast. NO ! Will it tell you what the driver who you just cut off thinks of you ? NO !
@@mrwilson7617 I don't disagree with you. I'm just telling it how it is now. It's a shame.
@@TruckingForHermes Yeah, I know that. I'm just responding in general to the comment. I've heard about the carriers banning them. Maybe they should ban inexperienced bonehead drivers instead.
@@mrwilson7617most carriers just don't bother having them in the truck. Some places like Melton will install them for you, but you have to buy it.
How do you have Wi-Fi in your truck?
Hot spot
What happens if you are OVER legal weight and you've been on the road for awhile already? Like what do you have to do??
Dot smiles and shakes your hand and tells you to keep rolling
Get out your check book
Trucker path, check if scales are open or not. Play with the fuel weight. Depends what axles it's overweight first off.
You get arrested
Of course he moved, he was just waiting for you to finish the hundre d pull-ups so he can leave 😂😂
Hello
Wow ouch
Mr. Alex. Just wanted to inform you that you should be averaging 0.70 cents a mile; including empty miles,at the work and professionalism that you do.
Maybe you need to check all your load info before saying they lied lol
You keep your side boxes so neat and yet you won’t roll up your straps,what’s up with that 😮
Could u ask your company to sent me a request to come and join the team from ja
No, do it yourself
lol I live in Alabama, but was born in Indiana
i never see a driver take so much time to back up a trailer man
do you get paid when you dead-head?
Love from India broo .......❤❤❤❤❤.....my name is pratap take may name in the video.....I love trucking broo .....
Stay home.🙁
Got fired??
Alex you have to have high blood pressure. My anxiety elevates just listening to you complaining about everything. Just chill out a little.
It works for him tho. The moment you relax the moment bad things happen.
Same could be said to you chill out and stop worrying if hes complaining it doesn't affect you....
@@truckercowboyed2638 as a healthcare provider, stress is not healthy!
@@truckercowboyed2638 are you his dad or boyfriend? Man you jump into save him like a hero with a cape every time
To me..lHat cam annoying..But nice videos.
Do he have a home too got to. Or a family?
Always Wondered this. Man never seems to go home or mentions missing his family.
He's on his grind. The best thing a person can do, is to not wallow in that.
If you watch his videos, it's like he's with his family. He doesn't make videos for us, I feel like it's more for his family, so they're basically always with him, thus he doesn't have to talk about them 🤗
He has a wonderful family. He did a video when he went home
Wonderful? How do you know that, Joey? Just because he did one video having dinner with them doesn't mean his family life is "wonderful".@@mountuplikeaneagle
@@jaepcamBy you calling me Joey you must be trying to disrespect me. I'm not sure what your problem is, maybe you don't have a family or maybe you are estranged from them. You can't stand that Alex has a wonderful family. Maybe you're jealous of this fine young driver.
I can't believe that they don't have back up cameras you can stick on the back.
That's because your supposed to get your lazy ass out of the truck and go look before and during backing (if needed).
I've been hit 3 times over the last couple of years because these new drivers are too lazy to GOAL (get out and look).
They would have to build them into the trailers, which would be a pain in the ass. They also wouldn't help with monitoring the entire rest of the trailer.
@@Commy01 I've seen some for rv trailers that are Bluetooth
Ive always thought the same thing. It’s not impossible and very practical. Most people don’t want to become truck drivers because the fear of backing
@@pokeyellow9660rvs are not semi trailers
Are you still cooking in your truck?
Someone give this guy a girls job he anit no man
Watching you back you keep turning your wheel WAY TOO much. It's like you need to see your complete trailer in each mirror to back. Three pull ups on a striate back is way too much. Please do better.
Do you have to enter every time you fart into that phone
A truck driver should have three pedals. And a metal rod sticking out of the floor
And you kids get off my lawn!!!!
.....and planes three wings and morse code to communicate and ...
The majority of these trucks being made now are autos. I started out years ago driving manuals but those days are pretty much gone now unless you buy an older truck.
Majority of companies have gone to autos for fuel mileage. And to put any dummy behind the wheel now.
A truck driver should have a class A CDL. Transmission type is irrelevant. You're just mad the world is changing and you can't get your ass moving to keep up.
12:20………..🤦🏿♂️
I find these videos disturbing. Seem to drive in many residential areas and are awful at parking and geeting it straight on the road, always crossing the line. Im glad i left the road and the US.
Stop speeding up your videos
why does it matteer
Bro 27k is not feathers that enough for you to lose speed especially in those piece of shit freightliners
freightliners are better than volvos
Is he working in his underwear?? No long pants??
Do they not have shorts where you are from?
I wish!
@Commy01 he is dealing with shipping and receiving ppl and I think is very unprofessional to show to a place with your underwear showing.
They are pants! They are just not jeans.
@@KaloCarraswho cares what you think
You are what’s wrong with the trucking industry.
what he do?
another blinker every 5 seconds video
Another useless comment
Hi Alex's Lover! Looks like you have competition in @joeknight......@@truckercowboyed2638
Loverboy!!!! @@truckercowboyed2638
@@jaepcamlooks like there will be handbags at 100 paces soon
so you like watching videos of just backing and blinkers, why not show driving besides so much blinkers, I bet you like more cowbell huh, Jethro?
@@truckercowboyed2638
Why does he care about what the company is losing in money ? What does that have to do with him ? This is classic YES MAN syndrome. Just get legal and haul the load,let them worry about the cost...this dude is SOOOOOOOO simple !
Umm a company losing money unnecessarily is going to fail eventually, its not hard to understand...every driver should be proactive in saving costs ....
All of that sanitizer on your already clean hands will ruin your skin eventually......im really thinking trucking is the wrong industry for you lol
You think? It's definitely the wrong line of work for him
Next time you make a delivery to Walmart go inside and ask for a job
3rd comment lol
Why you forwarding your videos nowdays...that alone is a reason for me not to watch...
Probably cause he wasn’t talking then
Puts gloves on to open two doors then uses hand sanitizer after removing gloves. 🙄 Softest hands in trucking. MAN Up, Alex!
And what its his life not yours
Sorry if I offended your boyfriend, dude!
Enjoy your pedicure.@@ice8196
Huh?, no punctuations or even a useful comment that has a point. The comment the other person made is valid and is only expressing their opinion. Is Alex the trucking guy a real trucker or a UA-camr that plays a trucker online? Anyone who's driven over the road for a living knows better.
👊✌️
I mean it is a little overboard, but look how clean he keeps his truck. It's working nicely for him
Alex is such a cutie
Oh what’s a clutch. You’re not a truck driver. And get off Grindr
I assumed a truck driver is someone who drives a large truck with a large trailer. They go pick up loads of merchandise and take it to another location. then they go to another place and pick up more merchandise and take it to another location.
They do this over and over. I would think they would like some comfort since they live in the truck for extended periods of time. I would think they would love a modern truck with many comforts including and most of all a wonderful truck of various brands that you flip a switch and it goes forward or flip it the other way and it goes backwards. It's especially great when you're on a Houston freeway at rush hour
@@mountuplikeaneagle It's more than just a job of freight relocation, it is a lifestyle. All the real truckers tune in to watch Alex play at trucking. It's a nice distraction from thinking about how hard we have to work to pay our bills, mortgages, child support, you know real life stuff that is not even on Alex's radar.
@@scottied67oh I'm sure you all are so wonderful. Alex is doing a great job. Yes trucking is picking up loads and taking them elsewhere over and over. You get into many backing situations, light loads heavy loads winding highways but you're still picking up loads and taking them elsewhere. And that's what Alex does because he's a truck driver. He stays away from home 2 or 3 months at a time. He takes care of the equipment, he keeps everything clean, he does pre checks and post checks. He goes all over and does his job . In other words Alex is not a slob. I've worked with slobs that did everything half ass , no pride in their work. just do enough to keep the dot off their butt
You're a little too obsessed with Alex, Joey. He better keep an eye on you. Looks like he has an obsessive stalker following him.@@mountuplikeaneagle
@@scottied67guess you should have been a better husband. Or at least pulled out better.
You're underpaid
This kid can't be serious!!? Did he really blind side an easy pull up straight back opportunity??? I swear he hasn't learned anything he has zero common sense and he needs to turn in his CDL and go be a salesman at Verizon cell phone store 😂😂🤷
Click clack click clack.....
He is too soft to be a trucker
He's never set foot in mud! Who do you think you're fooling, Joey? @@mountuplikeaneagle
He defends Alex on every critical comment. He has a huge crush.@@scottied67
Wood? Is that what's on your mind, Joey?@@mountuplikeaneagle
@@jaepcamI think Joey has already emailed Alex asking for some of his body hair to put under his pillow
Truck and trailer are dirty ….shame on you !!!
