Im gonna add 1 that might upset people, financial success in trucking isn’t for everyone, the main reason I got into trucking is because free cost of living, in life you have to identify the problems and get creative and find a solution, todays cost of living is holding people back so I said I can live in a truck and make very good money at the same time that means I could save 80% of my paychecks rather than it all making someone else rich paying bills, so if you have family and people depending on you trucking is gonna feel like any other job except you’ll never be home so think about this

After 5 years of call center job, i had it. I'm almost 30 and i feel like i havent done much at all

First time found down the gap I was with my trainer and it was thick fog and traffic going down , I slowed it down to 35 to access the situation and my trainer got mad telling me if I’m scared pull over and let him drive. I cussed his ass out so bad and finished the hill and when we parked he apologized 😂 said I handled it like a professional and told me don’t never let nobody get me In a rush. Regardless that was last time with him as a trainer I did not like buddy

Yes it is. But some of us fit perfectly on that lifestyle

Don’t do it not worth it a lot of lonely nights

We go up and down this grade when we visit family in West Virginia.

Prayers you survive your marriage bro.

First time coming down Fancy Gap in 2008…41k load from Maine in a Volvo VNL and it was all thick fog, scared as hell!!

He is absolutely right. It's really a mind set. If your depressed you look depressed and it's scary having those drivers on the road they may not be stable enough to operate a machine that can take lives. He is absolutely right. You may not get a daily shower but you can dress probably and keep hygiene up when showering shaving etc. Empty urine at the truck stop bot out the window.

Get the most cents per mile you can, as a company driver, put all the risk, fuel, repairs, and slow freight on the company. I've been, company driver, owner operator, lease to company, and had my own authority, running loadbords. PUT ALL THE RISK ON THE COMPANY. Just another opinion 😊

Hey Tyler, im just wondering what you decided about the crete dedicated? Did you try it out? Just wondering because im undecided if i want to do OTR or dedicated. Thanks!

Hey Tyler, great video and very informative. Thanks! I had a question about the Walmart dedicated out of Cheyene. I've watched some of your other videos about it, and I've also looked at the Crete website. Do drivers get paid a higher rate per mile while helping out on the Walmart dedicated even if they are just helping out? And also a higher pay for weekend work? Do you know more about that? And can drivers that are 48 state OTR, can they request to stay on that Walmart dedicated for like a whole month if they want that higher pay? And do you think it's worth it?

Got to get ahead atleast $500 a week free and clear after all taxes, bills, expenses in your life to make trucking worth it imo. $25k clear profit annually.

Stop the 🧢 brother

To each their own I’m an OTR driver for 15 years now over 2million safe miles and still going strong and loving it

This grade is a nutin! Run it 30 mph Jake on full 5 th in 13 Fr

Great video brother...been in track the tracking industry for 11 years.. best decision I made in my life..just bought my second truck..I paid cash for my second truck..very happy that I did not finance my truck..it's all about how a person comes in trucking..

Wanna know how good in crete😊

Everything has to line up just perfectly....... Know the right people able to build out the right equipment and infrastructure..... Great example of that is Tim Gentry........ Now if you look at Just trucking he makes his money other ways He doesn't necessary rely on his truck hauling loads to make him money.

Nice video I’m 35 have 4 sons 9-8-16-17 I’m about to start the program to get my license en so on can’t wait to become a driver en see some of the world en make some money living in holland 🇳🇱

The media is talking great about the false economy, and that's the reason trucking is bad and other sectors.

Thanks for this video iv felt this way for years not having many friends hasnt helped either. . I tried twice with two different companies and didn't make it. I got my cdl class A this year thinking i could achieve my goals after 2 attempts i realize my heart isnt fully into trucking so ill achieve them a different way

Best explanation I’ve heard by far!! Truck on brother 🚛💪🏾

❤ Love it, in between all the negativity you are the light at the end of the tunnel, thanks Tyler you the best, keep trucking HUG'S 🫂 bro.

Great video! "Readers are leaders." (In this case, listeners.) Doesn't kindle have a monthly unlimited membership? I don't know too much about it, but that's a great idea and I'm planning to use audio books too. Thanks for the great idea!

The only way truckers are making it in this market is with KZfaq money.... Notice how many OO are posting videos. I'm an OO with paid for equipment been looking at spot rates at $1.25-$1.60 for a week now, not even worth turning the key and taking the insurance risk for that.

The ego gets tickled when you hear “this your truck?” And you say no. I think that’s why drivers become owner operators bc currently owning a truck is nothing but a pain in the ass

The negativity comes from the Johnny come lately. While the industry surged from the free money in circulation. Now that money is spent. The real Gs know.

5,000 !! I think of this channel as the school of grounded vibes and consistency. The static interference of youtube is not here and I trust that it never will be. Congratulations ⚡️

"Bite down on life, and do what's tough." Well said. Another good video and message!

Dude this is one of my favorites of your videos! Lots of great one liners! Lol

I was thinking about going into trucking to make money like to go LTL.. Would you recommend it?

Very good advice. And I appreciate how you always have a positive attitude. I have a few questions I was wondering about. When you were a company driver for Crete, did you get a lot of northeast runs? Because I saw another KZfaqr who said he's worked for Crete for 7 years, and he said one of the things he doesn't like about Crete is that they have a lot of northeast runs. So I was just curious about what your experience has been with that? Also, I was wondering if you have a preference as far as taking a 70 hour reset, or running on recap hours if you have them? Another Crete driver I saw on KZfaq said he prefers to do 70 hour resets every week, and he said he still gets 3000+ miles a week. Thanks!

Hey Tyler! It is so cool to see your success from the sidelines! You are smart/disciplined and very intentional with your plan of action! Those who fail to plan end up paycheck to paycheck and then failure! Those Utah pics were incredible! Roll safe out there! Hope to see you again sometime soon!

Wise words for sure. Been watching you for a while and see you succeeding. Awesome tips! Keep killin it!

I got my cdl this year. The first time i went through a company and didn't pass backing training so i then got my cdl through a school then i tried flatbedding and that didn't work for me either. Im just thinking its not ment for me. Times about out too. Past 3 months

Hey Tyler, that's so true when you said: "It doesn't matter where you start; it matters where you finish." It reminds me of the proverb that says, "Better is the end of a matter than it's beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit." (Ecclessiastes 7:8.)

Any job/career that doesn't actually feed your soul and fulfill you is a waste of life

Love your content bro !

Very nice information, Tyler.

He keeps saying he came from a white collar profession... he's traumatized by being a trucker. He thinks it's below him

I’m a wv trucker and have been going down 3 mile long 9% grades on a 2 lane road with hairpin curves sandstone is cake!

Hii freed, most of the people or influencer they said u.s trucking industry sucks that company does'nt paid well,high price fuel,truck etc. Why did they say like that?😢

Hey Tyler, thanks for your positivity and encouragement! I was getting discouraged with the trucking industry, but your videos and your positive message opened up my eyes to see it all in a new light. I listen to your videos every day to keep me focused. Thanks for all you do! Your videos changed my life.

I’m a new graduate. And last week Monday I woke up and I was like imma get all my enforcements. I got 2 and imma get the doubles/triples on Monday and my TWIC card! Thanks man

Piss when ever you can guys no matter where. Obviously not at shippers or receivers. Holding on to your business over the years can lead to health problems. Prostate especially.

I’ll love to work for you bro. Working for somebody I support sounds great.

I drove for 18 years. I teach high school now and have a life at home. I wonder with the current housing crisis, whether more and more people may try get a job truck driving and live in their truck. I always thought if worse came to worse, that was an option.

I got a damn safety termination with werner. I can't even get hired by swift. They want 6 months clean driving. I been with Werner for 1.7 year and i hit a fence on the dollar tree account and i didn't report it to Werner so they terminated me for that. But i habe zero accidents on my my record. I had skme experience with Knight transportation but i think im just fucked. My dac report says "safety termination"

what should i do for schooling?
