Shippers/receivers love to waste a truck driver’s time.
"I tell you man, I think that high fiber cereal I ate was not a good idea." 😂😂😂
kinda crappy!
That's gonna be one of the famous quotes to remember me by. Hahahaha
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY LOL! For sure, Alex.
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY Hey Alex, what's up buddy?
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY probably on a tee shirt?
Alex .
There's no warehouse in the world that doesn't have a bathroom.
You have to learn how not to take no for an answer.
I was going to say the same, I wouldn't ask just explore, theres one there someplace
@@terrysennhenn896 You mean trespass? That's always a good idea.
One time passing through El Cajon, CA I had to drop a watermelon. Frantically I found a 7-11 off Interstate 8. I treated the “Employees Only” sign with the casual disdain it deserved. Successful bombing run. Did not even buy a Big Gulp.
Bro I saw you in Chicago couple days ago, I was honking from white truck 😄😄😄
Didn't have a bathroom for truckers waiting for ever. What a classy company, shame on them!
Save your receipt for the shower. If the company does not re-imburse you, you may be able to claim it as a business expense. Check with your accountant. Safe travels.
Company reimbursed showers? I drove company for 30 years and have never heard of that. Thanks to Republicans, employees have very few "business expenses," and such deductions are so watered down they tend not to be worth it. Besides, every time you fuel you get points on your card for free showers, and food, and stuff.
@@nobull4414 bro don’t get political and yes companies do reimburse you for expenses you had to make
@No Bull hence my using the word 'may'. And I further advised to check with a professional. Worst they can say is no
@@TruckingSasquatch Anytime middle-class workers get screwed it is political. Which company pays for showers?
@@marksellinger3736 We got screwed out of that in the mid-80's.
It's should be illegal for shippers/receivers NOT to provide bathroom facilities,or heck, even a port-a-potty on site for truckers.... ESPECIALLY in live load situation. In these circumstances,. one should consider dropping TWO loads😉👍. It would serve them right.
You only work a 12-hour shift and give up your 2 hours left? If I have drive time I maximize my clock and only leave enough time on my clock to get to a place to work. How many miles a week do you do? If I don't get 2800-3000 that isn't a productive week.
“There shouldn’t be a blind spot in a semi” freightliner classic xl has entered the chat 🤣
🎉❤😂😂
A w900 isn't much better 🤣
Ah man I feel that pain lol. I bought a classic like 1.5 years ago....good lord. Also hate the two piece windows, hopefully will replace those this summer it makes it hard as hell to back in at nighttime looking through the wing windows.
And the Pete 389 I drove smh lol
Find a nice company that pulls refer. 90% of the time you will pick up and deliver at places that have secured facilities where you can park over night and have access to restrooms and vending machines. Hauling meat and produce has its advantages. You will thank me later.
Got bulldozer? Fix the parking lot!
Also put down the passenger side sun visor and use the vanity mirror when blindsiding it will give you more view of what you can’t see through your main mirrors .
Trucking is hurry up don't be late. To setting waiting sometimes for days. There is no middle ground on this process. A good spotless clean hot shower is just about worth the money than trying take 1 & looking at mold & scum all over the place.
I used to work at a warehouse where I was the head shipper. Every truck that needed to be set up was handled by me. If something left that warehouse I knew about it and I was the one who personally dealt with all truckers. It blows my mind how I always see constant videos of truckers having to wait absurd amounts of time to get loaded. If I set you a time to come pick up a load for us best believe as soon as you pull up I drop everything to come load you up and get you back on the road as fast as possible. I'd have some drivers who I didn't even have pull in because I'd load them up in 5 mins and have them moving again. It's like people want to do the bare minimum and don't care about other people anymore.
Bless you because some DC are absolutely trash
@@crazyrmj2580 it takes me less than 10 minutes to load up a truck with a forklift and pallets. There's no need to make a driver wait who obviously has other places he needs to get to. It's insane how people schedule drivers to come pick up their product then treat them like crap when they arrive
Hey Alex. Do you let the truck idle all night or do you shut it down? I so enjoy your vids! Thanks.
Just found your channel-this was fun to watch. My guy is a truck driver and watching this reminded me of being on the road. Good memories!
I really enjoy your videos Bro 😎 God Bless and Safe Travels 🙏🏽🫡
Alex what I gave you today is peanuts compared to what I plan to send you when I retire, you have my word on that my friend. John
Nice videoAlex. You want to talk about hauling some weight, I work for Pepsi, our Quad axle spread Nine trailers with tractor scale at about 115,000lbs. My buddy hauls Asphalt in an 11 axle flow boy trailer, and scales at 155,000lbs. Only get away with this in Michigan, the reason our roads are so bad I guess😜
What about Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, North and South Dakota, and others? Of course, with California and Florida legal spreads you can haul 40k on the trailer in 49 States.
@@nobull4414 still not as high as Michigan, our legal gross at 164,000 is highest
@@Rev1Kev You guys don't have spring thaw restrictions?
@@nobull4414 yes, most counties place weight restrictions on class 2 roads, this includes local and county roads, State, federal and interstate highways are not included in weight restrictions
Thanks!
Thank you so much. Wow
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY My guys and I love the videos!
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY dude you are so funny love the videos man it would be joyous to meet you one day
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY a couple videos ago you wished me good luck with my new truck, I call you a class act. Thank you Alex for being a friend.👍
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY Let's sum it up I do respect you and you're honest!
That's the problem with dryvan. You go to some messed up places lol
Exactly. That's why I pull tanker's. I never have to deal with the kind of crap these dry van guys do.
Enjoying all your videos. Enjoying the ride along & your office space. I don't comment a lot do to many channels being hacked. Enjoy what you do until your nxt video.
YOUR a really good trucker and I actually enjoy your videos for the tips they give me.i also watch a lot Bonehead Truckers to learn what NOT to do I guess
I go by that truck stop every night
Is your sister the lot lizard there, or is that your crossdressing brother?
1st!
@@johnradcliff9973 are you a trucker?
@@laurenkruse7175 37 1/2 year veteran !/2 owner of a trucking compamy
Hey Alex. I realized on this video that I stopped at that same rest stop likely on the same day but later in the afternoon after you. What's hilarious was I knew the rest stop was there (and planned to stop there) and I got stuck in traffic coming up from downtown Cincinatti and had the same issue and I had a "need to go" bad. I wanted to make darn sure I didn't miss the exit for it because I knew I would not make it to the next one about 35 mins down the road. On that trip I passed several other GP trucks but unfortunately they were not you.
Hey Alex, what video editing software do you use?
Nice video Alex, always good to ride shot gun with you. Stay Healthy and Safe out there 🥰🙏✌
How come you don’t bring like a foldable kids scooter to roll up to the truck stop?
Hahaha that would be hilarious
@@jimmypappas9780 is it not a good idea though? I think even the electric ones fold up. I plan on bringing one when I start trucking myself.
@@ramborabbit9590 it's a good idea if you wanna use it to explore the area around the truck stop like go into town with it but no point if you're only trying to get from your truck to the building lol
@@jimmypappas9780 I just find it funny when him and other trucker vloggers talk about taking 10 minute walks just go to the bathroom, so I guess use as needed.
@@ramborabbit9590 Yeah or your mother the lot lizard!
Nice Driving Alex A Lot Of Skills;)
That was 12 hours bro not 24
I 2ish stone cold was my co driver,we would fix this trucking stuff
Wiley Sanders trucking from Troy, Alabama!! I went to Troy University (Troy State back then)
was the B.C. or A.D.?
@@devilshark8200 B.C. Troy State 1982-86 Go Trojans!!
13:13 What Dump of a place to take your nice truck, and then there is the stuff around with the scales….I definitely would not go back.
I really enjoy your videos. Be safe.
I’m glad you not climbing in Virginia!
Think you could do the job driving stick ? I drove just the truck no trailer that had a stick and I hated it 😂
What I really find ODD about the US and WEST is - you have nobody to talk to , interact with , ZERO ! This guy is all by himself , most of the time. While driving or stopping over, I don't see any human interactions mostly.
I’ve hauled hundreds of loads out of that mill once those rolls are on those Matts you would have to roll the truck to get them to move .
I have rarely had any load ever move. If any did it was because they were stacked horribly on pallets and some boxes just fell off. Nothing straps or load locks would save.
@@coltonkruse2313 there are loads that will definitely move on you just not those paper rolls . They will however roll your truck if your not careful especially the tall 9000 pound rolls .
you amazing Alex super proud of you!!
Told ya it works like a charm every time lol 😂😂😂
Hey Alex, did you enjoy your surprise present? I'm waiting for your next video, I was proud to do that for you keep safe my friend! I hope that showed I enjoy your videos and I only do east coast, it's nice to see other parts of the country too.
Hello Alex yes i have been in places like that to get a delivery. not truck friendly. stay safe Alex
Get outta there while you can lol become a delivery driver or something … fug dem kidz..💀
I can cook and bake you don’t have to pay me I have my own income and my own place to stay and car And a good communicator and eyes are very good at night and day all ways wanted to ride in a semi truck when I was little I am 52 years old now but don’t worry I am not a criminal or stocker just love the way you carry your self and your attitude is very good a person I would like to be around just for the experience
Hey there fellow Human being. Have a kick ass weekend.
I wish I could travel with you in the truck I can be your eyes and ears I love to if I can I am William McRoy 😮
good ending Alex
I thought the ''open sleeper window to blindside dock'' was only working for an American Truck Sim video game🤪😂
Them saying they didn’t have a rest room you could use is unsat! That sucks bro!
I swear to god I passed you on the interstate a few weeks ago, maybe it was you maybe it wasn’t 😂 since I can’t see that well and my mom was driving because I had kidney stones so I was going to the doctor. But I seen that blue paint scheme and I recognized the company. But it was on i40 going towards Greenville TN/ Bulls Gap TN but if you kept going you would’ve been going towards Bristol which borders Virginia. I meant to wave but I was in a butt load of pain. Best hope you never get a kidney stone, especially in a semi truck 😂
Haha Alex I love you. This would be me
Yeah, waiting in line like that is one of those things in trucks that happens that we hate. Oh well, as long as I get detention pay. That's what I say. Lol
It is like you have to be geometry major to back up into the docks.
Now u no you cant park there driver its for customer use only Ha Ha Ha
Hi how's it going watching from Broomfield Colorado
Wow a real Texas cowboy. Nice hat .just kidding.lololol u have a fantastic day and be safe . Yeah ha
Try jumping my 68 Dodge Charger 15 feet across the creek at my terminal w/dixie air horns blasting
Hey Alex! Long day! See you tomorrow. Bill NYPD Retired 😊
One of my part time truckers m-f N.C. state trooper, but on weekends real trucker!
Cincinnati roads are pretty confusing tbh
40000 is extremely heavy….ya ok 😂😂
No matter when I tune in your still complaining
Stay safe out there alex! Watch out for bonehead truckers
I am not a trucker, but it would be nice if warehouses were designed or re-designed for semis.
Have a beautiful day Everyone ✌️
This year I get to go into trucking
7:40 Did Alex get the sweats due to his bathroom emergency?
Hopefully the clients will have access to trucks GPS as well so that they prepare for your load in advance. Would be win/win. Great Vid Alex.
This company higher new drivers
You haven't had to cool the tires bad enough, or you would have had an empty Gatorade bottle with, starting your 2nd day in a truck! IDK, but every since this woman driver saw me trying to cool a tire while standing on my running board, I have always had a Gatorade bottle in my truck, or a big coffee cup in my personal vehicle.
OMG!
Hey Alex enjoy your vids keeps me abreast of a company I leased to for 3 yrs. Just an fyi rolls won’t fall backward. Now boxes will if not shrinked well. Where paper needs securement is in front of the rolls that are gapped since a hard brake the will slide. Those rubber mats are only good for under 45 hard break and sometimes not even then. Again enjoy your vids
columbus ohio 💪
COOL VIDEO
I don’t know why but your Mario sounding “ah!” Getting the weight ticket made me laugh outloud 🤣🤣
smashing your brake pedal that hard while literally sitting still will destroy and bust your brake chambers on the truck AND trailer......
Alex, the place you stopped at called loves is right next to my job.
i work for the company forward air cmh and you were located in groveport. right next to the truck stop is now a sheetz. both are pretty nice (to me at least but im not sure how it is for truck drivers.
How much do you guys pay for the truck stop?
Most corporate truck stops such as loves or Pilot do not charge a truck driver to park there. However they will charge you for access to their showers as well as access to their Wi-Fi if they have it and then of course you have to pay for all the other services inside the truck stop including laundromat services. Some truck stops have gyms where you can work out but I'm not sure which ones charge for their use if they charge at all.
Goodmorning to u Alex that place u was at woth the Rolls its firsy come first serve Right truck drivers and i form and line behind anther truck and it will be your turn young man Thats how we do it trucking Fam Ha Ha
You said "all done with this delivery" but it was your pick-up....not your delivery lol
ربي حفظك
Maybe you should try using your power-passenger side mirror when blind siding.....
🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲
Good Job my guy, sometimes you just gotta boss Hogg the turnin lane when it’s safe to do so
So you don't take a dump in truck (in a bag in a bucket) when receiver is inhospitable?
I'd find a plastic bag then leave it their front door! 😱 😈
Do you eat and sleep in your bathroom come on
@@613rob I'll be first to say shame on the inhospitable receiver. But after being there hours to unload, I'd do what I had to do to unload my body too. Gotta take care of self first to be in position to help others. Ain't healthy to hold what the body wants to dump.
Another good video 👍
You were on the same road I used to work on. The drop off place I don't were it was at because they are lots of building in that area.
What kind of microphone do you use?
Thanks Alex!
Hello alex
Cook a big meal in your truck man
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
As being a trucker is health the talk of the talk because I wanna be a trucker but I see all of these comments like it’s not worth your health and all that
Can someone gone in depth about this
Your health suffers from sitting and the mental drain/ lack of sleep can be a taxing experience
come to bakersfield ca alex
😎
I hope the next video is titled " a dishonest 24 hours in my life "
Get wild😂😂😂
Todays word class is, MondoDoupe.
Please show cooking
You like freightliner or Volvo alex
Alex likes Kenworth T680s like Ido
i keep getting fake messages spam from a fake alex?
Alex is not a crypto investor. Don't give crypto Alex your email.
Lol
How do you pick up a delivery?
It’s the opposite of how you drop off a delivery
