Thank you for visiting the Choicemas "STOP THE CLOCK" Channel. I create content with hopes to inspire, motivate, educate, empower, and help others. A majority of my videos are Educational videos teaching the ins and outs of Safety and Securement, as well as the excitement of driving a 18 Wheeler Semi-Truck throughout the country. In addition, I have some inspirational, motivational commentary that I feel can help others. Recently I've opened up my page to Vlogs and Roadtrips with my wife and I that carry some humor and interest. I hope you can find videos you like, and if you do... give us a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button, as we sincerely appreciate the support and the amazing feedback we've received throughout the years. I started this channel knowing nothing at all and have come a very long way, and the journey has all been worth it. Many thanks to you all, God bless. -Choicemas

I'm looking to move to the USA from Sweden. I've done trucking here but have to get my american CDL before driving over there. I am considering going for flatbed trucking. Watching your videos I can see some large difference between EU and USA. We rarely if ever tarp, I've never done it, rarely see anyone that does. We use a different strap system also, so I have plenty to learn and study before getting to work in the USA. Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful.

I've had a small load detach before (just a 16ft brush trailer), no injuries or problems thank God, but it all happened because I listened to my boss......needless to say lesson learned and I refuse to haul anything if I don't feel it's done right and safe. I never want to live through that ever again.

I just got my Class A CDL in October with all my endorsements (Double-Triples, Tankers, HazMat, etc.), and I start my first trucking gig on Saturday as a Flatbed Company Driver (#FlatbedGang!, LOL). I'm pretty worried about all the tying down, strapping down, chaining down, and all the tarping down, haha. I know they're gonna teach me all that, but I'm worried I'll mess up or not learn it fast enough. With all that said, your video was very informative. I like that you rarely made any cuts in the video and, for the most part, kept it raw from start to finish. I subscribed, and look forward to watching the other videos you have available.
