I'm not going anywhere, you the most down to earth person on here. I admire your decision to do what's best for the family. I wish you well on the change.
I'm going to miss seeing you on here, I have really enjoyed your content and your authentic personality, but I totally understand your reasons and I'll be here if and when you get back to it. Good luck and we'll be waiting .
My man do you !! The people who enjoy hanging with ya in life and on this channel will be here everyday !! Congrats on the future. I get it I’m in the electric field but trucking is in my blood !!! Go get that $$$ I’ll watch what every video you put out ….. Rod Plymouth Massachusetts
I wish you and your family the best in your new venture Chris. I agree with your words about fixing up your truck equipment while you're on your new adventure. That's good thinking. Don't let it sit too long. Give it some exercise and love every once in a while. 🙂 Keep us updated as you can and stay safe. 🙂 Cool runnings everyone. 😎😁
Chris, you remind me of my early days in hot shot trucking. I worked the oil field business as a hotshot in the 1970's. Midland, Odessa, Monahans, Ft Stockton. I worn out 3 trucks and 4 gooseneck trailers. Then moved on to Semi Trucks OTR. Retired in 2015. But still get the itch to comeback. Watching your rig made me think about going the same route. I like your set up. Look forward to seeing you back on the road. Bruce from Grand Prairie.
Go for it brother. I will stay right here with you. When a man works for a living, its always is about the money when taking care of family. When its over, you will have your truck to come back to and who knows, hopefully cheaper fuel and more plentiful loads. GOOD LUCK.
You’re a good man for doing what’s best for your family my love I’ll certainly stick around, especially as you just introduced that gorgeous mastiff!!!!!!! Love you Chris
Your decision confirmed by beleif in your character. Those that say there is no respect for truckers have never met you. A down to earth guy that is a smart business person. Looking forward to the oil field videos. Have a cousin that has been in the oil patch in Saskatchewan for 25 years. Something to do with compressors. Good luck on your next adventure.
God bless you. Life takes us down many roads, some we plan for, and some we don't. Look at this as another road in you life's journey, and enjoy where it takes you!
Thank you for letting us come along for your journeys and also a big thanks for your generosity by donating your UA-cam earning. Best of luck in your new adventure!
I made the same decision. I just sold my 379 and step deck. Load counts and rates are dropping considerably but equipment prices are still inflated, I expect that to fall in the near future and can buy something way cheaper if I decide to. I have 26 years in offshore oilfield production so that’s an option if needed. I’m pretty sure a recession is upon us, historically there is always a recession after a large oil price increase especially when this much inflation is involved. I believe we both made the right decision. I hope everyone can laugh at me and call me crazy for thinking this way and everything stays positive, I would much rather that happen than the alternative. Will continue to follow your channel due to your personality/character, it doesn’t matter much what the content is. I’ve finally figured out the secret to life and it is simple, slow down, spend as much time with family and friends as you can, stop and enjoy the little things.
I couldn’t agree more. A week in and I’m already ready to throw in the towel here. Lol just missing the road but I’m going to make this work for a while, the money is about 4x as good as it was running O/O and could be completely debt free “including the new house I just built” in just over a year. So I’ll make myself make it work. 😂
@@DosGringosRanch get it done quick and then get to what you like. Just don’t keep adding because we never think what we have is enough, it’s just built into all of us. When you finally realize you’ve been to the places, bought the things, got the kids grown, and settled in, you reach a peace and it just hits you, I don’t really want anything else or the work/time it takes to get and maintain it lol. Just 2 cents from someone a little older and has been there too.
@@kenchatham5939 I agree. I did that in 07-08 with the bass boat, ski boat, 4wheelers, rock crawler and new vehicles learned my lesson real quick. Lol. Every since then I’ve always tried to keep home bills low and kept a 6 figure savings account until I bought the ranch and used up quite a bit of that to pay cash for the ranch and then the water well, electric and septic then the 35% down payment on the house so now I need to get the savings built back up. Like I said in the video all I want to do is get a couple goals I have taken care of then it’s back to the truck.
I’ll stay. For the truck-enhancement projects at least. And we’ll see what else you come up with in the meantime. Good luck with the working break from the road.
I look forward to your next vid glad an opportunity came up to help you and your family. And no one can fault you for doing what you need to do for the family.
No guarantees in trucking, a guaranteed paycheck that is more money is a no brainer if money is what matters, I know it does for me, life takes twist and turns and your a young man your long from not taking many more twist and turns.
Do what you have to do brother, I've been running my trucks ,local for over 12 years now ,home every nite and my own food,shower ,toilet ,and dont have to worry about bonehead truckers wrecking my truck at nite and running away.
Came for the trucking, looking forward to seeing the oil field work. Only you know what's best for you and your family, good luck in the new "temporary" career.
Are you interested in renting your trailer for a few months? I think your truck would be perfect for adding a hyliion electric drive axle. That hybrid system is also an electric Apu. From what I've seen on the internet those hybrid drives are about 9 to 14k depending on options you want and they can be installed in less than a week. I think there are govt subsidies and rebates for them.
buena suerte en tu proximo trabajo, por supuesto te seguire viendo, sera muy interesante el campo petrokifero, hay que ir donde este el dinero, en cuanto a ti, se ve que eres una bella persona y un gran tipo, cuidate y que dios te bendiga
Wow! I can understand leaving a job of 19 years ya you get burned out. I’ve been CNC programming for 35 years and burned out. I’m ready to go trucking now! Get back to my heavy equipment roots.
Dont blame you. Been there. Been burnt in oil field to. Should get better after the elections. Change of administration should open oil field up. Be safe and safe travels.
@@chriskahlson yea I’m going to drop comp and collision and low coverage to the minimums to keep authority active. I really don’t want to lose almost 2 years of MC authority.
I agree and it’s a lifestyle I love and will be back too. Just couldn’t pass up 250-300k a year with no expenses. So I’m going to use it to help the business when I get back in.
I'm not going anywhere, you the most down to earth person on here. I admire your decision to do what's best for the family. I wish you well on the change.
Thank you.
Here for trucking content and oil field content because that’s where I’m at
I'm going to miss seeing you on here, I have really enjoyed your content and your authentic personality, but I totally understand your reasons and I'll be here if and when you get back to it. Good luck and we'll be waiting .
I’ll still be posting on here. Just not as often.
I am a Trucker myself and come from the Oil field If the money is awesome I will go back to Congrats
A little higher dismount, and he would have landed on all fours!😂👍🇨🇱
😂
If it pays more then trucking the fuck it. Family first. The trucking will always be there.
My man do you !! The people who enjoy hanging with ya in life and on this channel will be here everyday !! Congrats on the future. I get it I’m in the electric field but trucking is in my blood !!! Go get that $$$ I’ll watch what every video you put out …..

Definitely going to keep y’all updated. And still plan on running some local stuff while on off days.
So crazy our beagle did the same thing from the driver seat 2 weeks ago, fell right out of the semi. Thought he broke his neck but he is good!
Yea he’s a big old klutz lol

Thank you Randy. I’ll definitely be back to the truck sooner than later.
Gotta do what you gotta do man! No shame in that, trucking ain’t going anywhere. Good luck with everything…… your gymnast dog is awesome! 😂😂
Yea that was a first doing a front flip. I definitely keep in touch.
I had to set up another UA-cam account and re subscribe to everyone, glade to see you are still making videos
Mate just do what’s best for you I will still be here
Thank you.
Well given the present climate in trucking,I think you’d be crazy not to take this opportunity.I’ve enjoyed your videos and wish you the best.
I think I made the right decision for now. Thank you.
You’re a good man for doing what’s best for your family my love
I’ll certainly stick around, especially as you just introduced that gorgeous mastiff!!!!!!!
Love you Chris
Thank you. He is my big old baby. Lol
@@DosGringosRanch I had a bull mastiff, they are huge teddy bears! So loving
This is our 4th English mastiff. Hands down best breed for kids and home security imo
"Oh Susana" oh c'mon 🥲😭😅, now why did you go and do that. Do what's best. Love your Truck and sound 👍.
I thought it was fitting. Lol. Thank you.
I see your a PBR man.👍

I agree. Just wasn’t expecting this road. Lol
That's awesome!
That front flip still has me cracking up🤣🤣🤣
You he’s a big klutz. 😂
Best of Luck. No fault in doing what is best for you and the family. Have really enjoyed your content.

Thank you KJ. If you ever have questions or help don’t be afraid to reach out. I’m more than willing to still help out.
I’ll stay. For the truck-enhancement projects at least. And we’ll see what else you come up with in the meantime. Good luck with the working break from the road.
Thank you Mark.
Don't sound like a bad idea, good luck to you !
Thank you.
Not goin anywhere man I will keep watching
Thank you Pittbull
Congrats on the opportunity brother man. I would love to get into the oilfield. I support you either way you go. I know you will be back trucking
If you got a cdl your a shoe in. Email me and I can give you some pointers.
@@DosGringosRanch no sir. I don't have a CDL yet. I'm waiting to start school
Once you have a CDL you can pretty much get a job anywhere
Make it while you can. Good luck
💯
first of all good luck, putting a retractable tag axle, would be good, and maybe a onboard generator feeding from the fuel tanks as well
That’s what I was thinking finding a little kubota genny and framing it out.
Also with the tag axle, put it in front of the drive, so you don’t get stuck in any holes
Most definitely
Could you also lift one of the trailer axles, for when your empty, thus adding more capacity and better fuel economy and less tyre wear
I would love to convert the front axle to a lift axle.
I would love to see some oil work too!
I’ll definitely be posting some stuff up.
@@DosGringosRanch I have always worked down stream. Designing plants. Oil, Gas and Chemical.
I have been on the completion side my whole carrier
Thank you sir for the great content
Thank you for watching
I look forward to your next vid glad an opportunity came up to help you and your family.
And no one can fault you for doing what you need to do for the family.
I’ll definitely keep everyone updated and show what kind of work I do in the oilfield.
No guarantees in trucking, a guaranteed paycheck that is more money is a no brainer if money is what matters, I know it does for me, life takes twist and turns and your a young man your long from not taking many more twist and turns.
Thank you. I’ll definitely be back though.
I am staying. Good luck and can’t wait to see what happens in the future. I also can wait to see the improvements to the truck and trailer
Thank you. I’ll still post vids and show the oilfield aspect of things.
Good luck hope that it will all work for you
Thank you Mark
Do what you have to do brother, I've been running my trucks ,local for over 12 years now ,home every nite and my own food,shower ,toilet ,and dont have to worry about bonehead truckers wrecking my truck at nite and running away.
That’s where I plan to be in the future.
Came for the trucking, looking forward to seeing the oil field work. Only you know what's best for you and your family, good luck in the new "temporary" career.
Thank you. Hopefully I can continue to find away to bring good content to the channel even though it won’t be as often.
Good luck! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Not right now. There’s a few things I want to get done to it.
Good luck with your new adventure like you sa
Said your doing what right for your family and you be back someday
Thank you.
Your very welcome looking forward to getting back someday
I really understand what you are going to do and good luck with the new job .
Thank you.
You are welcome
Congrats homie do what’s best for you and your family I’m be watching
Thank you.
Everything happens for a reason! Your right, you would be stupid if you didn’t take it!
If you want a temporary driver I’m retired. God bless be safe.
I’ll keep that in mind.
buena suerte en tu proximo trabajo, por supuesto te seguire viendo, sera muy interesante el campo petrokifero, hay que ir donde este el dinero, en cuanto a ti, se ve que eres una bella persona y un gran tipo, cuidate y que dios te bendiga
Gracias por las amables palabras. Mantendré los videos para todos los que muestren el lado aceitoso de las cosas.
Wow! I can understand leaving a job of 19 years ya you get burned out. I’ve been CNC programming for 35 years and burned out. I’m ready to go trucking now! Get back to my heavy equipment roots.
I’m ready to get back to trucking too 😂. But I’m going to make this work for a year are so.
Yeah go where the moneys at so many companies need a person who’s willing to work!
Dont blame you. Been there. Been burnt in oil field to. Should get better after the elections. Change of administration should open oil field up. Be safe and safe travels.
Thank you
Is what it is brother famiy first I’ll be in touch though
Sure thing. I have a feeling I won’t be gone to long.
🔥
🤘
Do what you got to do brother. Make that money. Hope to heat from ya on some videos
Definitely will be keeping the videos coming.
The dog could have really hurt himself. Our dog jumped out of the truck and hit her head ended up giving her a concussion.
Yea that was a first for him. He normally treats the ranger like a jungle gym jump on and off of it even when I’m not on it.
Smart move, wait out this over priced fuel.
Money doesn't buy happiness but then again u can always go back
Yup. I’ll definitely be back.
Go back to the field. The truck can sit and wait.
Yea that’s what I’m going to do for now.
NGL.... am jealous.
Go get that cash,butt keep your truck on the side
Most definitely, equipment ain’t going anywhere
No big deal work is work see what happens
I’ll be back. I think this will help with what I want to accomplish with the business in the future.
If you are going to just store the truck while on leave you might be able to suspend collision after it’s finished getting fixed
@@chriskahlson yea I’m going to drop comp and collision and low coverage to the minimums to keep authority active. I really don’t want to lose almost 2 years of MC authority.
Trucking isn't for everybody
Trucking is a lifestyle
I agree and it’s a lifestyle I love and will be back too. Just couldn’t pass up 250-300k a year with no expenses. So I’m going to use it to help the business when I get back in.
WTF BRO? WANNA SELL ME THE RIG? Hope everything works out driv,ah remember it's in the blood left lane gang.
I know. Wtf am I thinking 😂. I’m going to keep the rig for when I come back.
@@DosGringosRanch your making the best choice man go with your heart driv,ah. Well be here when you get back..🤘🏻
25% more than your gross and no expense plus wheels!!!!! You'd be an idgit if ya didn't hoss!!! Go for it!
Thank you Greg. I’ll definitely be back though.
