That scooter would come in right handy for a feller when a shipper or receiver says....."back into door 3 then when unloaded WALK to door 1089 to get paperwork."
Yo Dave, you inspired me to work with CFI. I cant drive right now as I'm not old enough to get a CDL, but I just began working at wash bay at the Joplin Terminal and never once regretted it. So if you want your truck shiny, we bet we will make your truck shiny. Thank you for inspiring me, love ya Dave
@@Bjd79 I might ask permission to do it, but like what Dave said couple videos ago about shoving a camera in people faces and all of that stuff, I'm not that type of person. Right now I'm still training but I might give it a shot.
@@DolphinOfBlood right. I agree. I would never shove a camera into someone’s face or workplace without permission. Better be safe than sorry. Good luck with your training.
Great video as always Dave. Liked the scooter, but really enjoyed the obstacle course. As always, appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos and the insight they provide from a truck drivers perspective. Always love when you mimic the "super truckers". Be safe brother.
Nice to have some time to meet up and hang out with other drivers. It gives all to have time out of Just being alone in your truck and feel like your all,part of the CFI team.
This is all good PR for CFI. A group of young happy drivers and the CFI logo in at least 50 percent of the shots. I hope head office is smiling after seeing this.
Whenever I’m at a terminal I look for ya, Dave. Even though I’m pretty camera shy, haha! Truck 51708. That poke at the super truckers was actually pretty funny, haha!
I absolutely love this video the sunrise shining in on angel Dave then seeing him. Have a bit of fun Then my ultimate favorite parts of this whole video is him saying his angel line 14:27 lol and when he reveals his real age. At the end. Honestly you look magnificent regardless of how old you look Love ya
Hey Dave! Great video. I’m in Joplin right now. Going to crowder today to start my CDL training. I’m so nervous and excited I can’t sleep. Thanks for everything you do on your channel. I wouldn’t be here doing this if your channel didn’t exist.
I am in the middle of practicing maneuvers, in Maine they suck because we have to do a straight back and then back through for the lane change maneuver and then back up through the lane into a blindside parallel park. Then the 90 degree alley dock. Just finished 8 days of practicing with 2 trucks and 14 guys which is about 4 times in the truck a day, I'm just now starting to get the idea. I wish we had half of that room though! Just funny you happen to have the course on here now. Lol... oh well that's truckin'!
Bro you need to get one of those and keep it on the truck so you can go wherever you want to on you're down time. I've seen a couple with the little basket on the back where you can put stuff too. Got to be a really cool toy to have to get around and its hella fun... Keep up the good hustle, stay humble, stay safe. 🤟🤟🤙🤙
I've seen the CFI next generation and they do absolutely look good,I especially love that they have changed the door decals to cursive instead of just the initials
Nice driving Dave love those obstacle course, did a great job, I remember I did that in 2012 Serpentin backing right hand turns alley dock parallel parking on the skills tests.
Man I'm 31 and solicitors that knock on my door still ask if my parents are home. 😩 You have flattering youth, I have "apple slices or french fries?" youth. 🤣
I worked for CFI and during the time I was there they were bought out by Conway....I started my Trucking career with CFI and they treated me good I had no complaints
Great video I would like to do that. I drive for CFI dedicated or TA dedicated that they changed it to I haul the PPG paint account out of Strongsville OH.
I gotta say dave they should have you tag team up with these drivers and you guys can do some heavyweight loads they call it a convoy in trucking it would be something fun to see content wise and very impressive on the obstacle course
Hey Dave what truck number you drive I run for Hoosier air transport truck 435 I watch all of your videos and love seeing hem roll on young man roll on!
😂 it’s easy to. Why I’m in the habit of always looking up at my truck number before I open the door. I’ve tried to open the wrong truck’s door a few times before I got in the habit of checking the truck number
Hey Dave been watching your video for awhile and you inspired me to drive but only problem is I can’t find a good trucking company near Cleveland for me drive for or can I drive for any trucking company like cfi and just have go pick up truck from there terminal?
Is CFI not hiring anymore otr drivers? Their website is only showing dedicated positions available in all 48 states since the Heartland bought CFI from TFI. Me and two of my friends are looking at putting in our application. But like to run otr, not dedicated or regional. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
@@coreyholmes49ers yeah I know I don't really consider it TFI but I know who TFI is yeah TransForce international Start originally with Conway truck load when they merged together with CFI And then of course you threw in Jacobson who at the time was a part of Norbert dstrangle and then they all get lumped together with Maersk container who bought all of Conway's stuff. But then of course XPO came in bought out Conway LTL but decided to keep all the rest of them and threw them under the TFI name Then they decide to take CFI even though it wasn't contract freighters anymore bring them back out and of course we know how the circle came. There's a lot of unhappy parties that got thrown into the TFI TransForce international nonsense that didn't want to go along for the ride that got screwed by them.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist hear is what happen. Norbert bought Jacobson companies. Con way bought cfi. Xpo came in bought Norbert and they got Jacobson companies. They bought con way inc and sold con way truckload to tfi international. Maersk didn't buy anything from xpo, con way, and tfi.
@@coreyholmes49ers okay I knew it was some big soap opera I was with Jacobson for 20 years 3 years before Norbert came in I left It was just sad to see what happened to the ones mighty Jacobson warehouse company and transportation
I don't work out besides the normal things we do in trucking like getting in and out the truck, landing gear, walking in the truck stop etc. As much as I can, I will park in the back of the truck stop for a longer walk, or the furthest spot at the rest area from the building. If I do get fast food or something unhealthy I get the small meal rather than a large and drink water most times with it. Try to walk to restaurants, walmart or places around the truck stop a mile or less away. Just try to stay active.
@@RidingWithDave thank you very much I watch all of your videos and this gonna help me a lot when start trucking my uncle is a truck driver but watching your videos gonna help me
You can do push-ups and jumping jacks on the ground outside the truck. Put on some gloves so the pavement doesn't hurt your palms. You might look weird but at least you are staying in shape.
Off topic but would anyone recommend a starter company? I’m from south Texas and been looking at CFI because of Dave but still unsure, seen mixed reviews on every company.
@@timoshi119 thanks I will check it out. I haven’t had any luck finding anything after driving local for a year. I’m 21 got my Cdl at 19 and I feel like getting my dry van experience will get me many opportunities.
Great video Dave it was good meeting you!
You too bro! Thanks for the help filming!
That scooter would come in right handy for a feller when a shipper or receiver says....."back into door 3 then when unloaded WALK to door 1089 to get paperwork."
Or for those parking spaces way in the back of the truck stop lot.
Yes lol

That’s awesome lol, just got a wash like 4 or 5 days ago there :)
I need a wash my truck is super dirty
You should do a video on washing a truck if they allow you to.

Driving school obstacle courses are always fun. Thanks for the video Dave!
Great video as always Dave. Liked the scooter, but really enjoyed the obstacle course. As always, appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos and the insight they provide from a truck drivers perspective. Always love when you mimic the "super truckers". Be safe brother.
I remember the old obstacle course,back in 2001 it was part of the hiring process if you hit anything you got sent home.
I have one of those scooters too. They are soooo convenient. Park for a reset and I can still have access to everything within 7-10 miles.
I need me one.
Yes, thanks for video, love seeing CFI I miss so much.
everytime i go out on the road during the week and see a CFI truck, i look for you.
He needs to put a 3 foot highlighter yellow circle decal on the top of his hood so out in the wild we can spot him 😁
Never drove for cfi but in the mid 90s I remember seeing their truck rodeo going on several times, while driving pass on i-44..js
Nice to have some time to meet up and hang out with other drivers. It gives all to have time out of
Just being alone in your truck and feel like your all,part of the CFI team.

Good job Dave enjoyed watching your videos
You are like me. You take your time when you are maneuvering. There is no sense in being a cowboy. Stay safe
Great video Dave. I liked the Scooter. But that obstacle course was awesome. You did great.

I honestly guessed 35 with a second guess of 34.
I was assuming he was 30 lol.

You need that Kenworth W9 that was on the end with the cool graphics!!
Love watching your videos! They cure my bordem when i watch them in the middle of class:)

CFI needs to give you the new gen T680! They look so good
I've seen the CFI next generation and they do absolutely look good,I especially love that they have changed the door decals to cursive instead of just the initials
Yes! Best looking trucks on the road IMO. They look damn good. I drive a 2022 PB 579, but I still think the new T680s look better.
two "sardine" trailers in Dave's video. 1st at 11:40 and second at 15:30
nice to see CFI use other drivers "oops" into training aids lol
Great video, Dave. I think you passed the obstacle course as long you did not knock over any cones and barrels but several close calls.
Nice driving Dave love those obstacle course, did a great job, I remember I did that in 2012 Serpentin backing right hand turns alley dock parallel parking on the skills tests.
Yessir dave! Super trucker certified!
Cool video dude I saw the new gen Kenworth T680's in the yard on this video.
Great Video!! We saw a CFI just outside of Lubbock Texas. It was a blue truck. We had never seen a CFI until today.
Nice, they've been in the process of getting them all red. Had a bunch of freshly painted freightliners in red when I was at the terminal.
Yo Dave! I just saw you on the I17 towards Phoenix!
Great video man much love bro stay safe man
“No you’re not!!” Hahaha
Maaannn, that is one SQUEAKY trailer!
Brings me back to those Grom days of old.
Did have a motovlog feel to it didn't it lol.
man, I live 3 hours east of Joplin, (Poplar Bluff, Mo)
Man I'm 31 and solicitors that knock on my door still ask if my parents are home. 😩 You have flattering youth, I have "apple slices or french fries?" youth. 🤣
Cowboy Dave 👍
I met that guy we were both at the same receiver. I have a scooter too it goes only 25 mph but has a 60 mile range
I worked for CFI and during the time I was there they were bought out by Conway....I started my Trucking career with CFI and they treated me good I had no complaints
Never drove for cfi but in the mid 90s I remember seeing their truck rodeo going on several times, while driving pass on i-44..js
Good job!! Man you gotta get an amish costume. Would have been cool to have it on while riding the scooter. 😹😹
You never failed you passed
Does cfi owner operator have to do the course and semi truck company for course
them cones have seen better days
One thing I like about this it is reality it's not boneheads it's not super truckers it's reality thank you
Euc would be handy for trucking also
a little to much fun on that scooter lol you need one man hahah
I guess doing an obstacle course at the yard is better than going home.
Great video I would like to do that. I drive for CFI dedicated or TA dedicated that they changed it to I haul the PPG paint account out of Strongsville OH.
nice video
Man you messed up now! You failed the obstacle course they're gonna make you drive a Heartland Express truck!!!😝😝
I remember having to do this exact course to pass the test 😭
Good beautiful afternoon sir been here a couple weeks enjoy your Chanelle brother thanks
Dave, do you know there’s a speed limit on that yard!!!
Dave is transport America getting their trucks back?
Yo Dave how old are you now and at what age did you start driving trucks, love your videos man.
Only difference is during cfi training you'd be in a manual not an automatic after you get your cdl then you get an automatic truck
Cocky will get ya wrecked,, like the vids ,,bn watch for awhile,,🤘
I would like to give this obstacle course a try, but CFI probably won’t allow a truck that’s not theirs to go in there 😔
I gotta say dave they should have you tag team up with these drivers and you guys can do some heavyweight loads they call it a convoy in trucking it would be something fun to see content wise and very impressive on the obstacle course
That Kennworth @ 1:20 In The Video. Best Looking Truck There. *Sorry Dave* LoL
Hey Dave what truck number you drive I run for Hoosier air transport truck 435 I watch all of your videos and love seeing hem roll on young man roll on!
What kinda of semi do you drive?
Nooo how you are a good driver still
How do you not loose your red KW in a sea of red KWs?
😂 it’s easy to. Why I’m in the habit of always looking up at my truck number before I open the door. I’ve tried to open the wrong truck’s door a few times before I got in the habit of checking the truck number
@@RidingWithDave Lol! Is there any way that a driver can personalize the exterior to make their truck unique?
What's the best company to sign with in south Florida? Please anybody would be much appreciated
When are you going to flatbed trailer
CFI(can't find it).
I hear that heartland express bought cfi
So Dave what's your thought on Heart land buying CFI
Jeffrey davis: I am not dave but cfi is going to benefit from heartland buying them. They was losing money
Hey Dave been watching your video for awhile and you inspired me to drive but only problem is I can’t find a good trucking company near Cleveland for me drive for or can I drive for any trucking company like cfi and just have go pick up truck from there terminal?
Oohh I see you guys have the new kenworth t680s! Do you think you will ever be issued one?
Maybe in 30 years

I think u broke the yard speed limit their
What’s up with that W9 in the beginning of the vid?
A guy who has been with CFI a long long time. His name is Albert, met him a few times he's pretty cool!
👍 best

Jesus!
why would you wanna get as close as possible on some of those? probs not the smartest idea
Good
And cfi has the new kw s
Awsome vid, but you failed you didn't g.o.a.l. 🤣
You're right that actually was a requirement for the upgrade test I remember now :)
hii
Practice, before the test, this ain't Swift. AT CFI, you actually have to know how to drive, and back, a tractor trailer.
