@@margaritaalexandro83 You are welcome to message me on Instagram @driventrucking

@@DrivenTrucking can I ask you a question❓

@@marklepka7994 it’s an engagement method for talking head videos on KZfaq. No reason other than to change the camera angle to keep people engaged for audience retention.

@@DrivenTrucking hey another question for U

I've heard a lot about her. Please how do I contact Lander C'Ann?

How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management.

SHE IS ON what - pp!

We can agree on how much you can be deducting from my salary to payback what ever cost of plane logistics you're gonna spend on me.

did make decent money?

How did it go?

@@time2unwind690 It went great Landed a job with Clean harbours...

@craigslistrr how’s it going now? Do you have any knowledge you wish you would’ve known before you signed up? I would appreciate the feedback. (Currently 20 Y.O with an interest in this field)

How it's been

@@jasonnuno132 I got my CDL when I was 19, back in Nov. 2020. I've have about 2 years experience and I've been hauling grain, fertilizer and feed products in mostly Ag. hopper trailers. After I'm 22 I'll have enough to go to a OTR tanker company and start making more. Ask me anything, I'd be happy to ask any questions.

Truth be told ⏳💸💸💸💸💸

That's going overboard, dude. Why should you care how much insurance for the truck costs your employer or how much their loan payments cost???

@@BeKindToAll03 With that you can get a guage on how much it would cost yourself if you were to own one and would it fit into your budget and expenses. Keep track of everything and anything isnt a bad idea at all. Even if its not your truck seeing how much repairs cost along with other expenses is something you can start setting funds aside for when your pruchase your own truck.

Thank you for the sound advice. I'm entering a six week course in two weeks. I'm so excited!

@@Kallu.Media1 *if* you buy your own truck. I've got no interest in that, sure you can make more money but it also adds a huge cost that's gotta be paid and kept up with. I'd rather do without all that stress.

Hey, how’s the school going for you?

Don’t need to be gone for weeks. Maybe a couple months till you learn but there’s local Jobs that take guys from school. Well, maybe not in your area. Most of these guys in these vids blow a lot of smoke. I scan through at times to see. Lol. 43 year veteran here and I get a lot of laughs. Most have more sh?? than a Christmas goose Usually don’t listen to more than a minute or 2. You can tell real quick they are full of it. Good luck. Stay off the phone while driving and stay in your lane when beside another vehicle. So many bad drivers out there.

How was school????

Hey guys, I went to sage trucking. It's located in Pa. I'm currently driving for a local company. I'm home every night, working about 10-12 hour days, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter. I'm currently on pace to make 100k this year.

And school wasn't bad at all. I found a job who put me through it for free! It was only a 1 week course lmao. Sounds ridiculous right?

W

Did you ever find out where to start? I’m 19 right now and trying to get into the job but I don’t know where to start

I’m enrolled in local Community College Cdl school. Total out of pocket including my license will be less than $400. Just about every one qualifies for grants and aid.

I live Columbus Ohio 25 year old and I'm struggling to find a school to teach me so I can drive for them let alone some gov't help..... Where should I search guys?

@Uncle Otis SCHNEIDER TRUCKING Has the reputation of being extremely absolutely positively focused on safety. They pay for everything including getting you there, it’s five weeks. They have a channel here on KZfaq to get more information. If you call them they will email you more information and you can ask them any questions. They pay you to go to school, not a whole lot but it’s putting some money in your pocket while you’re in school. And they feed students two meals a day, they pay for your room and board while learning there, they have three or more schools they’ll send you to the one you’re closest to. I’m gonna be going myself, getting organized before I do. Wish I could go right away. Wishing you well. PS: Let me know how it goes if you do

@@selfesteem3447 So what did you think of your training with Schneider? Do they ask you to sign a contract with them for covering CDL?

That is how I did it

you have a whole life ahead of you, take it easy and realize most people work for someone elses profit. a family business is great as long as you dont mix business with pleasure. It will also be alot easier getting your foot in doors. You can work, stack your money and on your time off figure out what you want to do in the future. 4, to 10 years from now. I have no job, no connections, and ive wasted 4 years trying to "figure out" what to do. Better to work and get paid while doing so.

Wait….are y’all the ones with all those Mack’s? That last name looks familiar Lmao

@@ModalSoul FANTASTIC advice!!

Me too been watching all the trucking videos and im excited to get to learn how to drive a big semi .. i think this is perfect for me

That’s all life man!! There is no manual, only punishment law for mistakes and very little payoff for the good decisions. The best thing is just pick something and go for it…

Some of my older stuff has music just as a warning lol, KZfaq is a constant learning process

I have yet to see "straight to the point" anywhere on KZfaq.

Don't give up on your dream. Can you connect with me?

once u get on the road you will never wanna go to back to moving trailers...your best bet is going to a trucking school and paying yourself...these trucking companies will try to scam you out of 7000-1000 dollas

Violent DoZa... That was my thinking, I was hale bent on paying for my own school didn’t want to be owned - like you’re saying. Getting pre-prepared for this, studying kept hearing over and over how others (some were so annoyed) with Schneider being extremely overly focused on safety when they School new & orientate experienced -their drivers. I called their recruiting number it sounds pretty darn good. Then my thinking was they can own me if they want to. They only want the students to work nine months (don’t have notes approxs, it’s not very long, some companies want you to work for 2 years) to pay back for the schooling. And I’m honestly not so worried about getting ripped off for 7 or $8000, I can earn it back later. Just so long as I get trained properly safest possible school where as other companies are just wanting to get you out there driving asap so They can make Their Money and aren’t really fully teaching. And I heard warnings of the schools doing the same, just want to get students in n out n get pay $ to keep CDL schools in business. It’s taking me a while to get a lot of things done so I can stay focused when I do start doing it, it’s probably gonna be after the first of the year. I’m not rushing into it although I am very excited to get started. Lmk if you want me to give some feedback even though it’s gonna be a while. ✌️

Whats your instagram ill connect you

20+ plus year cdl-b airbrakes driver....everything from trash trucks, to coach buses....but never a 53' on an axle. Do I just go to school like everyone else, or is there a less expensive way to just learn to get my "A"

same here!

Gotta drive fast! 🙌🏽

Good Luck and let us know how it goes :)

*You have to get out a lot, too.*

rip

I stay in fontana, ca also. Do u do ig stories or anything like that to follow up on. Sounds interesting to stay tuned to

I miss little Sidney so much! I use to live on the outskirts, so freaking peaceful and beautiful!

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Edward, hope you’re safe and well?

Do it

@ThatBeatgutz its easy to get the permit

Why'd you leave IT?

@@MrAnimeMoon Well, here in New Mexico, I think I pretty much topped out in pay in the field I was in, and well to be honest, it was getting really boring to me. My youngest of my 3 children is graduating HS this spring (who will be also getting his CDL), and long story short, I'm now a 3rd generation truck driver. Diesel runs in our family's blood.

Luis, I am also in IT I would love to chat sometime, like yourself im burnt out with it and currently am going to driving school, wondering how you like it.

@@theupstaters for sure! Give me a shout at my email. It's my first initial, last name @ gmail.

How'd it go?

You guys are incredible and an inspiration to never give up!!!

Did you end up getting your CDL?

@@jeffersondiuguid9844 yes we did. We drove for Schneider but didn't like the micro managing taking the winter off. But will be working again for diff company in spring. We are too new and too smart to stick with the routes through Dakotas Wyoming and Denver we kept getting assigned. Big ole NOPE on that. Lol

Hello dear

Amazing beard!

@@pharaoh9483 thank you!

*How did it go?*

You are right David

Did you end up getting ur cdl ?

My goodness someone's butt hurt

@@dabofiron.itzsimplicity it's not butt hurt its reality. If your unaware of that then good luck rookie. Hope you and your loved ones are well

@@rigrocker2957 great response. good on you.

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you alex, hope you’re safe and well?

@@maryfisher8356 No. Ain't got a driver's license or a CDL. I get my driver's license reinstated in August and from there I can legally drive my own vehicles.

Hello, How are you feeling today I hope you are having a great time with your family and friends.?

Why is that?

@@revolutiontimez because if you can’t pass the DOT physical you can’t drive. You will have a license you can’t use.

@@LVDesert584 is the DOT physical normally before you start training for CDL

@@revolutiontimez many schools require it but some will leave it out so they can take your money. It will cost you $80-$100 to do it on your own. Find a medical facility that completes them.

Trucking can cause high blood pressure.

No one answered your question?

@@desireemackenzie1363 crazy, right?

Go for swift they'll hire anyone 😂

​@@kingofrannoch Do they have good training though?

Honestly I just got my CDL and there isn't alot of choices to start so get in the door get 6 months then you have more options. Also most mega carriers have training

@George Hello hope you are doing great Will love to know you if you dont mind

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Matthew, hope you’re safe and well?

Hey Matthew, what happened with CR England? Did u start?

there are some people who give thumbs down to all, genetics is a complex science.

Why does the civilian life make you unhappy? Trust me, I see what you're saying. Feels like we're trapped. I'm also considering getting a cdl. Thank you for your service by the way.

@@Jsteelies i don't like it because i realized that i dont want a job. (i know its america we work bla bla bla) i want to be happy. i hated the army but looking back it never felt like a job. but now i want to see things i want to just be me. idk just being a civilian is terrible. some people are ok with 9-5 and thats perfectly ok. but i just can't do it ya know?

@@BRotStories yeah man I'm 23 been working minimum wage jobs since I turned 17. It sucks. What I've learned from working 6 years in these jobs is that we are literally slaves. My current job working outdoors is okay but I still feel like quitting everyday. If I had my own choice I'd like to be my own boss. And truck driving right now seems the easiest and quickest way to that at least. Until I can find another way around the system... The 'american dream'

@@Jsteelies seems like we are in the same spot lol. i start CDL in august so hopefully i can be happy. cause im not a subservient person, and like u said, trucking youre pretty much your own boss day 1 after training. best of luck to you man

@@Jsteelies bro literally same situation, 23 and been working since 16, jus wanna make more money and start a actual “career” somewhere you know. Was thinking about being a police officer but if I can make either the same amount of money or more without risking my life, why not? And even then if i don’t end up liking it, 2-3 years I’ll still be in my 20s and can decide something on else.

You’re throwing in the towel way too soon. If you can afford to sign up with a starter company for even six months, that opens up your avenues a lot! And if you can specialize (open deck, tanker, etc.) there are companies that will hire you. And they pay much better than that dry van mega carrier crap, even as a rookie. Melton (I started with them), TMC, Maverick, Jordan Carriers are all good flatbed companies that hire new drivers. I left the road with four months experience and got a local job with Sysco Food Service.

👆🏻

@@mr.butterworth Thank you my friend i just feel hopeless guess ill sign up to anything.

@@mr.butterworth hey how much you making at Sysco I’m going into Mclane they gave me a job offer but I want to see which one better for the buck. How much you making there with no experience ?

Keep going dont give up everything will play out at right timing just keep trying

Yes indeed Robert

Don't give up

Why would it be tough to get hired? Drivers are in demand right now

@@Jsteelies Because he's 19.

@@Jsteelies insurance is high for people under 21

Most people would kill to be 19 again. You’re at a perfect age to pursue nearly anything, so long as it’s something you’re truly interested in. Don’t just do something for the money. Do research and ask people in the field questions.

im 20 and just gotten my permit have you passed your road test?

@@osamanbush6575 Im turning 20 in 8 days and I want to become a trucker any tips what to do?

@@jnd1321 well we’re the same age bro lol, but what i did was study like two weeks for my permit and i got that now im starting 4 week class april first hopefully ill pass first try and be on the road after, im pretty determined though. thats all it takes is a effort and determination and youll be good dude, im in tx btw if that helps any.. also dont be scared to do anything because we all start somewhere, goodluck brother.

@@jnd1321 also im not going into a mega carrier, im paying 3k for the classes and ill be running flatbed with a family friend whos an owner op with a couple rigs

@@jnd1321 even if you do have to start at a mega carrier, just work hard in those 1-2 years and learn as much as you can to progress.

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Jamie, hope you’re safe and well?

same

Yo same. Just got my MA and did for 5 months and hated everyday of it, wanted to be a firefighter originally but honestly I’m an introvert and the idea of being just me and my music and other drivers of course this job sounds like heaven obviously there’s downsides to it I’m sure, but I’d just love to not have to deal with annoying ass coworkers all day everyday

I'm also on medical..these is my last year as planned. I'm going for trucking

That’s one of the reasons I do flatbed type trucking, not the most exercise per say but definitely more so than average.

Obese truckers are full of calories and excuses. I workout inside my truck every single day. I keep a heavy bag and weights/bands in my rig. The hard part is eating healthy but even that’s possible if you’re smart about it.

I lost thirty pounds when we were OTR, packing our own healthy food, not relying on fast food, and making time to walk/do bodyweight exercises every day. You can CHOOSE to get fatter, which is super easy, or you can CHOOSE to make the effort to be healthier.
