So many trucks drive bye in the background tell me again there’s no money in trucking 😂

I was a trucker for 5 years. I started at 21. Now I’m 26 & left the industry. Currently a cop. When I was young I like it. I got to see the country & got paid for it. But Long term you wasting your life away. You don’t have time to exercise & socialize. You’re always alone with strangers. You gain weight & your mental health gets worse. After you see the country. The excitement is gone. It’s just a paycheck. Now I’m 26 a cop… I have a six pack & a beautiful girlfriend. I have colleagues & friends. Go out on the weekends. Go to church. Go to the gym everyday. Eat what I want. I have a life. I have freedom. I love my 9 to 5. Sleeping at home & no longer feel like I’m throwing my life away.

Married dudes should probably reconsider OTR trucking. That's the biggest reason for dudes quitting driving because they have kids or a wife at home. I'm a blank slate so it'll work out well for me.

It’s great to know that you had some time off and it’s great to have you back. Even during a pause, you have been so generous with your output that there’s plenty to look back on and get re-inspired by as well.

Love your vids Tyler!! I Hope God is by your side while you are on the road. I would love to hear how your stock investments handled during the recent drop. Did they drop a lot? Are they going back up to what they were? Would love to hear back from you. I wanna get in stocks but im a novice and need to do way more research on them. Stay safe brother!!

Afternoon Tyler! I like what you say cause attitude effects altitude! Stay positive and fly high...negative crash and burn! It is really good to hear from you! Roll safe out there my brother! I missed your videos it's good to know you took some R and R time!

100% right! I listen to financial channels while I’m driving down the road!

Seems like a great guy. I took several things to think about from this

Well I left that nonsense last year, new career start and no regrets. IMO its not just a down or up market one has to deal with but also the increased over regulation (tell me Im not wrong?!....cab cameras, speed limiters in the works etc.. Ok and lets not forget the price of truck ownership! Increased computerized tech in trucks means more time at the dealer or qualified mechanic. Older trucks if you can't do most of the work yourself then find a good mechanic that is available, fair rate etc. Downtime cost$$.Increased traffic, more road ragers! If you put up a list of cons vs pros of owning your rig or just trucking in general it would be a lie to say the pros outweigh the cons. Trucking these days IMO is a great thing to do for the younger crowd wanting to try something new for a while but as a long term career? Noooooo

Answer, no! Mc donald wages (you will make 10k more then a full time mc donalds worker)and you wont be home. You should be making 75 cents a mile or 75k a year. I quit because i was looking at 56k a yr. I couldnt afford a trk or car payment w/ out a mortgage payment.

Hey Tyler! This is a great video, very helpful and informative! IMO, this is your best investment video yet. Thank you!!

Is there a way to get points removed from CVOR

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 TH-cam 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 TH-camr 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 TH-cam 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
