@@TikiTheTrucker that meal was slappin
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉
That place your talking about on I-15 between Vegas and Cali where you saw the graffiti is an old abandoned water park called “Lake Dolores Waterpark. We pass that everyday as our trucking business has a dedicated run. Anyway, yesterday when we passed it, it appeared that someone bought it and they were cleaning and tearing down the buildings.
I think that’s the one that got shut down after some safety fiasco where an employee was paralyzed/almost killed.
@@ryanvargas4889 Yup! Actually, quite a few people were injured there. There’s a cool UA-cam video on that place. It’s a commercial and u can see what it looked like back in the day. There was a big ass lake there and everything. It was pretty cool.ua-cam.com/video/YN2Kd82hf5I/v-deo.html
Nice disclaimer bro, very professional 👌💯
Thank you bro 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@TikiTheTrucker anytime man
That sucks man you try to cover yourself you still got lmao 🤣 Wish you the best man
Hey man, at least I got the home time that I asked for 😂😂😂
@@TikiTheTrucker Try to get a local job Is Better they pay much more than 40 cents a mile Even if it's a dump truck company
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉
Thank you!! 😁
He was about to go in on Shnider 🤣🤣🤣
Happy B day ps happy trails. HARLAND HARMON RACING🙏🔥😎
Happy Birthday, Tiki!!!
Thank you so much! 😁
You should roll down the windows when you cook
The driver's side and passenger side window is usually cracked open like 5-6 inches when I cook. Thanks for looking out for me! 😁 I'll open them wider next time.
Happy Birthday you beautiful soul! 🎊🎉
Thank you,Trucker Gal! I watched your channel to get a glimpse into the industry before I started by the way! 😄
@@TikiTheTrucker 🤗
I watch Mav awesome content
Happy beerday bro!!!!!
Salamat bro! Too bad I can't enjoy the "beer-day" part since I'm in a commercial vehicle 😂🤣
@@TikiTheTrucker 😅
Happy Belated Birthday
Happy birthday bro
Thank you, bro! I appreciate it!
"Dry need some lotion kinda mnts" l0l the beautiful Ashy Mountain range 💀
Ya I watch Mav he’s chill ….do you recommend truck driving for my brother he’s 21 and has 2 kids to feed…..we’re from Southern California
It's tough being away from your children while being out on the road, but 1 year of experience out on the road will definitely be great with finding local jobs where he's capable of making great money and home every day.
I'd only recommend it if your brother and his family (aka wife and kids) are all on board with it and can handle him being gone all the time.
Swift, Schneider and all the large carriers are knocked pretty hard. Large companies have a lot of trucks but don't have any more accidents percentage wise, just so large they are self insured. All take care of rookies and once you're seasoned may have to move on to jump in pay. Year or so, Way it is. across the board.
Belated happy birthday Tiki! The Sun!!!!
Fresh snow is actually good for traction it's the ice you gotta worry about brotha
Happy belated birthday Tiki
Lots of love
Thank you Katherine! I appreciate it 😁
🎈🎂🌮Happy birthday brother 🎉🎁🌮

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂🎁
Thank you!! ☺️
Happy birthday USO 🤙🏽
Happy belated birthday my man. Very inspirational. I’m getting otr soon myself. 21 yrs old & you’re one of the few guys I watch that’s motivated me to get my CDL.
Happy Birthday, stay safe and healthy.
One of my good friend is a long time trucker. He cooks in his truck every time. Love the video brother. God bless. Keep strong 💪.
I watch all your videos and I really enjoy them I am going to get into trucking can you please give me some advice
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! My best advice would be to look into your state's requirements for a CDL, then get your state's Commercial Driver's License Handbook and start studying! You should also study Pre-Trip as thoroughly as possible, as it is not only to pass the state test, but you will be utilizing it for the rest of your life within the trucking industry. I hope this helps, Anthony!
Thank you Tiki! Those Swift acronyms were killin me 😂😂
There's so many bro, they get funnier and funnier 😂🤣
If you guys want a good company to work with i work with a trucking company based out of Bakersfield Ca, I've been here for like 8 months working and honestly they are a good company they work with there drivers. If you need a day off they make sure they get you those days off. If you don't mind driving they have all the miles for you guys. And all the equipment is basically new 2019 and up. Otr get to take there trucks homes.
@@TikiTheTrucker .
And they make sure you get to take as much money home. Trust me I know
@@sahillsingh4817 My email is in the description, shoot me an email with more information.

Tiki my boy what happened to the content. We miss AND NEED you out here
Great Disclaimer tiki oh & happy bday.Tiki watch the wind in across the 80 if it’s ice on the roads & high winds NO BUENO.Wyoming the wind topples trucks all the time.I’ve been on The road for years & we were coming back form an elk hunting trip & there were 3 rigs on their sides it was blowing 40+ mph consistently & you’ll get gusts 💨 thru there 70mph +.Your boy Bobby got hooked up 👍🏽.It’s a shame people are already HATING on him because he’s saying he’s going to continue to lay down content lol.There’s an old saying with the boys I ran with DONT HATE BUT APPRECIATE & HATERS GONNA HATE LOL.That solar plant is called Ivanpah.Do u see the white looking cloud around the towers that area I kills birds 🦅 instantly that halo is over a 1000 degrees Fahrenheit.Ironworkers 433 built that plant around 10 years ago.A bunch of guys i know worked on that gig.I’m gonna b going to CDL school in may & making my career move.I have prior obligations to a company I’m working for so I can’t just jump up & quit on them.I’m choosing between Schneider & CR.England & i wanna go regional OTR 11 western states so I can stack up them miles for the 1st year.Is that the route to go?So I can drive a GANG of miles.
Thank you!
These videos I post are typically recorded several days before I post them, I've made it through Wyoming and holy cow man, you are not lying about the I-80 winds! You'll see more about it in the next video for sure haha.
#solartiki Fun fact don’t cut the butt of an onion because it will began to bleed that’s why onions can make yu cry
I had no idea! I'm going to test this out next time, thank you!!!
When are you going to drop another video or have a live chat?
Happy Birthday Tiki! You didn't tell us how old you are now lol My guess is 26. I've watched all your videos now, can't wait for the next one. Peace - all the way from Australia :)
# SolarTiki Hey I think you cut edit vids on your downtime in the truck can u do a vid on how you get WiFi - I'm getting into the trucking industry soon and was wondering how peeps get it or do the truck stops give it free when you stop over- I collect stuff (eBay) I'll need that Wifi for my Laptop ps Happy birthday
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I'll probably do a YT short for ya showing my wifi solutions!
That abandoned something ... I think it was an abandoned water part
Not trying to be negative, but another youtuber got fired from scheider for vloging. They were saying it’s not safe to be making videos and driving. And from what he showed he was only bringing home $5-600 per week. He was out of the Kent,Wa terminal you probably know who I’m talking about but anyway safe journeys and take care
Swift Transportation stand for: see what I fucked up today
Hey tiki!! So this is a bit late and you might’ve already figured this out. I’ve been doing the LA to Vegas drive for 20 years so it was fun to see someone unfamiliar with it drive it. The graffitied place used to be a water park from the 70s-90s. There’s some documentaries on UA-cam about it. The water slides used to still be intact but too many people snuck in and hurt themselves skating or sliding down them. TV shows have done stunts or skits there like Top Gear and Tosh.0. Its still on my bucket list to stop there and check it out. Also, next time you do that drive I recommend Peggy Sues diner. You’ll see billboards for it. It’s an old Route 66 diner that has truck parking so you can stop there if you have time. Keep truckin man I love your positive attitude!
I AM IN ONTARIO CALIFORNA 😍😍😍😍😍no body knows about us 😰😰😰😰😰they only know Ontario Canada or London Ontario
I Enjoy driving, Started school in 2019 and now I'm here about to make 100k a year in 1099 work it's risky but 42 cents a mile at Tyson wasn't paying much...
#solartiki how many miles do you do a day
I just got my CDL and gonna start trucking soon, love your videos my brother don’t stop
Congrats on obtaining your CDL! And thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
#Chef You ARE CHOPPING IT LIKE A GOOD CHEF look at those knife skills!!! I love your innovations on cooking..., I'm gonna save this vid so I can get some of your suggested tools! thank you!...seriously!
No, Thank YOU Martin! I definitely appreciate the kind words!
Forget about tacos, im chowing down to some chicken Joy and some lumpia with alittle dinadooan
Bro, you ain't gotta flex on me like that 🥲 I already made up my mind that I'm going to Jollibee the day I get back home for home time 😅
@@TikiTheTrucker I would take pictures but I wouldn't want you to throw out your food. LOL
@@TikiTheTrucker I had this beef bowl thing from them that was kick ass
He spent the remaining portion of his birthday taking the browns to the super bowl, truck stop edition.
Hahaha! Don't worry, it was a safe meal! 😅
Truck stop edition got me and I know exactly what you mean xD
Be careful in Wyoming
Can you attach heavy duty adhesive velcro straps to your refrigerator so you don't have to scratch up your refrigerator from the straps?
Yes definitely! I ordered something like that to hold my door shut but it didn't come in time before I left for the road lol
Lol it was funny when you thought you could drive and record
Absolutely hilarious right? 😂🤣
Happy you didn’t get fired though.. wouldn’t have made me laugh at all. Have fun & be safe 👍
Happy birthday Tiki. Hey i love your sun tattoo... I gotta question. Is the a Filipino sun? Anyways big fan brother 21st of Feb is my CDL class. Hope I'll see you on the road one day.
Yes, it is the Filipino Sun!
And congratulations, super excited for your trucking journey!
@@TikiTheTrucker yeahey!!!! I am Filipino and that sun shines so bright in my heart. I love your videos brother! Stay safe and keep it up. Hope to meet you one day!
Remember to watch your over speed LOL. Are the trucks automatic at Schneider?
Happy belated bday, Tiki! As for the hashtag comment, the thing to understand is that your experience will not be the same as another person's experience.
Swift is having there drivers test the self driving trucks so I think you shouldn’t tell drivers swift is ok
#solartik, As a new truck driver how do you deal with down hill and backing up as those are my weakness.
I’m 216 like!🤓🤙
I-80 in Wyoming has some of the most amazing vistas you’ll ever see. They blew me away on my cross country road trip from Boston, MA to Portland, OR back in April 2021.
Question: How many miles does a fill of the fuel tanks last/how often do you on average have to fuel your truck?
Depends on terrain and weight . I get 7 mpg heavy 40k pounds or 10 mpg 7k pounds and with a 200 gallon tank it’s a big difference
The company that I was with is based in Fargo, I'd fill up in the yard, have two 120gal fuel tanks, as long as I didn't hit any heavy headwinds I could easily make it into Washington state, say 1100+miles.
I started off cooking in the Pete 22yrs ago with a set of stainless steel camping pots, a Sterno folding camping stove and an ice cooler.
There wasn't much that I couldn't fix in the truck, I didn't have the advantage of your niftydifty seat table.
You might want to look for one of those 12volt lunchbox ovens, you can cook while you are driving that way. Crockpots are great as well.
You have much more room in the Cascadia than I had in the Peterbilt when I started in '99.
Hey... thanks for the content.will you discuss how much we can expect to make as a rookie driver
Absolutely, I'll keep trying my best to make content! I don't think I'll discuss pay specifically, but I can definitely go over the miles I've ran on a weekly basis to paint a picture and you all can make your guess on pay from there!
@@TikiTheTrucker bro pliz...you can even delete this after answering my question. As a rookie driver otr can I make a thousand a week? Pliz be a bit specific and delete your answer after.thanks
@@judgejaywebster I will say that it's very possible to make a thousand+ a week. It just depends if you get a Driver Leader that trust in your ability enough to give you the miles to get that.
#solartiki Love your videos man watching all the way from Georgia Usa. I respect all truckers. Would like to see you cook a chili from your truck.
Tiki's Truck Chilli.. hmm.. That's a great idea CJ!
Thank you CJ, I appreciate the kind words!
#SolarTiki… I really enjoy watching your videos and Happy Birthday bro. My question is what camera do you use for your videos? How did you learn to vlog and edit your own videos?
Hey I’m wondering how long you waited for a truck after orientation?
#solartiki how often do you check fifth wheel kingpin/plate before getting under trailer
Happy belated birthday!
#SolarTiki After 9 times watching the video to get the hashtag was had. Now to my question. When you start trucking do you get to choose how big of loads you take, and do you choose what load you take? Thanks for my answering my question. 💯 support from me man. Happy Birthday, Tiki!!! 🍰🎉🥳
#Solartiki I applied to Schneider and they reached out to me a day later, I just gotta obtain my CLP before attending their driving school, was the CLP test pretty easy to pass or should I study before going? And also are the trucks manual or will we be driving automatics?
Study with UA-cam videos. There’s test bank questions / answers for all tests.
The CLP test is definitely easy as long as you study! Look up your state's Commercial Driver's License manual and study, study, study! There's an app that I hear everyone uses called "CDL Prep", give that a shot to study for your test.
Schneider trucks are all automatic. They are firm believers in fuel efficiency and believe that automatic trucks serve the best when it comes to fuel economy!
Great videos man!! Had a Schneider question for you. Do the OC's let you park your personal vehicle there while you are out on the road? Or do you need to have someone drop you off?
Yes, they allow you to park your personal vehicle while you're out! It's pretty convenient!
I just found your channel, I been driving for just over 3 years and live in Tacoma. Bummed you are no longer making content but wanted to let you know I work for a couple great managers and a great company. I am home everyday and make pretty good money. If you are interested switching hit me up.
#SolarTiki Are you filipino by anychance?
Very positive. You’ll go far in this industry. I’m a Texas boy. I try to avoid heavy snowy conditions. Don’t do chains, poor fuel mileage. Hit and miss on road closures. List goes on. But you on the other. Grabbing the bull by the horns out the gate. Way to go. Safe travels brother.
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! Drive safe out there brother.
“UGO RONDINONE” that was the colorful stack rocks and the abandoned graffiti spot I can’t remember the name maybe Salvation Mountain you drove by but not sure all types of weird stuff on that highway lol but happy birthday brother drive safely
Thank you brother! Definitely a bunch of weird stuff on that highway for sure!
Young man, you will get fired for filming while driving for sni.
Your channel has me thinking about getting out of the navy and becoming a driver.
Thank you for your service! And I wouldn't blame you for getting into the truck driving industry after you've served, it's definitely an interesting industry to be in!
I’m so glad you’re still doing your vlog and I pray that the way you do things is ok with Schneider. Keep the videos coming and I head to TMC on Sunday the 20th to start CDL training the 21st. I doubt l become a UA-cam‘er but it’s not totally out of the question. What do you use to edit by the way?
watch his video before this, these are just videos he had prerecorded. Think he did about 2 - 4
@@linsleyboxill6863 l remember him saying he had some that were pre recorded and he would be releasing them…….so this is one of them? Couldn’t tell so forgive me 🙏🏾
@@musclemania30 No need to apologize, sadly yeah this is one of them.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my videos, but my first couple vlogs were edited with the InShot app on iPhone! You don't need the best stuff to start, all you have to do is start 😁
And I will still be vlogging, but it won't be while I'm behind the wheel driving anymore. I'm going to have to get a little creative with it, but I'll definitely still be putting out videos!
@@TikiTheTrucker thanks for the info and I look forward to see what you come up with.
Good job bro. I'm girting into trucking again shout 2 big rig beca HARLAND HARMON RACING
Turkey TacoTiki
why does he act like a gay tiktoker when 99% of his audience are men over the age of 30? Makes zero sense.
Hahaha you're funny bro, thank you for the laugh 😂😂 I appreciate your comment bro thank you. Have a great day man.
