- Hi Loves,
This video is about HOW & WHY I BECAME A TRUCK DRIVER. There's only so much I could put into this video without it being extra long so if you have any questions or video suggestions please let me know! -Chae
I loved how you broke down how it is during training and when you are with a trainer. I want to get my CDL. Working a 9 - 5 is the norm but I want to create my own schedule and be able to travel. I am 24 years old and feel like I have not escaped the norm bubble that the world enveloped around you and I am ready to take on this new journey. 💪🏿
The only way you going to have your own schedule man is to have your own company cause dispatchers will always be up to them when u work and not.i been driving for bit and all up to them.
Girl I’m just stuck on the fact you want to provide for you family like your nieces and nephews your very sweet and I think your a good woman with a beautiful heart very inspiring
This really motivated me to go forward with getting my CDL, you were so inspiring for women who are thinking about driving trucks
Thank youuu & best of luck on your journey 💕💕
Domini give me an update did you go to truck driving school?
@@sashagreen3425 I did I now work for Prime locally…
@@sashagreen3425 Yes I did I’m a year in now, I drive locally for Prime
Yess! It’s definitely a bigger picture attached to becoming a driver- I totally agree. I start my first driver position tomorrow and I’m sooo nervous. I worked nothing but admin roles prior so this is definitely new but I’m excited for the journey. Enjoyed hearing your whys and your start in trucking. 💕
Thank you, Lizzzz! I'd love to hear about your journey. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. I'm on IG under the same name.
Omg Liz I’m in the same boat! I would also love to hear your story
@@DeeMaeee hi there! I’ve been driving now for 6 months and I actually enjoy it. The pay is on the lower side but I am working for a major carrier and local so that could be why. Im just waiting for a year up so I can find a better opportunity.
U sound like me only I'm 65 lol my daughter's in training now with schneider. I am supposed to get my cdl finish my solo then we're going to drive teams. I've been told she doesn't matter. I certainly hope so lol
I love this & I’m glad to see women in the comments pursuing trucking. I’m currently going through orientation for my new position; trucking opens so many doors 💯🤞🏾
Yassss!! I didn't even realize that a little community is being cultivated in the comments. Please let me know how your journey is going.
My introverted self is looking into cdl course. My dad was a diesel mechanic and tow truck driver. I was able to go on a few calls with him and loved it!
Same
Here
Just starting out as a trucker, nice videos,very informational, the WHY it's what matters..and everything else will fall in place.
Yessss! The why will keep you going when it gets tough! Wishing you tons of luck on your journey❤️
Girl I feel the same way and I’m currently studying to get my permit to get my CDL. I’m so excited thank you for this video 🤎🤎
Aww, you won't regret it! You can really level up while driving trucks!!!
@@ChaeBeauty 👋 hey sis, and congratulations to you on this new journey 👏!! I have a question, you said for the 4 weeks you were out there that you didn't get paid? I thought their training was at least $900/wkly....
@@pndisguyz98 sorry for the late reply hun. When training for my cdl, I didn’t get paid. Normally we would pay for that training. Once I went on the road with my trainer, I was getting $700/wk
So appreciate this video. I start training in less than 2 weeks. And in my head like am I tripping but nah I’m not!! Thank you for this 🥹🫶🏽
You got this!
So proud of you, girl! Love seeing my sisters dominating! Stay slaying, queen! You inspire me! From one sister to another, much love! ✌️💕
My why is I always been a driver in my hood and a city surfer.
Driving by myself with my thoughts brings me peace.
Sameee! I definitely understand that! The mental clarity I get from driving is a huge plus 🙌🏾
I’m really considering getting my CDL, also I have bigger plans also. I wish you the very best and I can’t wait to hear about your future success. Lastly, you helped me so much!!!
Just got my permit and start school in 3 weeks. Excited. You motivated me more 🥺
I love that! What school did you decide on? It may feel tough at times but stick through it. It’ll be worth it in the end❤️
@@ChaeBeauty I chose Tennessee trucking institute and I believe you. I’m sticking to it. The pros outweigh the cons and just seeing so many females do it is motivating
That’s awesome! I proud of you! Keep me posted on how it goes & let me know if you have any questions while you’re going through the process. I’ll help however I can.
I go to get my cdl permit here mon and am super excited and nervous I am doing this to start my beauty business and get into owning my own trucking business
I’m also certified lash tech but it wasn’t enough so to speak I love driving love traveling so why not
I’m trying to break generational curses and be financially freeeee bc there’s def a bigger goal like you said new sub babe I’ll start vlogging my journey here soon
My goal is to get my training after my permit through prime but there’s so many options
I love that you have a plan! Trucking is a great stepping stone for anyone who may need seed $ to get to their real goals. I wish you well on your journey as well💕🫶🏾
I’m considering getting my CDL as well. After getting let go from my previous position I’ve been wanting a job where I can be more independent. Its been nearly 2 years of me being unemployed trying to find a similar role with no luck until one day I came across yours and a female called Niesha K’s channel. I’m researching ORT. Exercising, self care while on the road, and hiking opportunities during the reset and time off. I want ti be able to take my mom with me as she will be retired because I want her ti be able to travel with me across the country
That’s awesome and it sounds like a great plan tbh! I always tell ppl to get their cdl because it opens more doors for you. Even if you decide not to drive trucks, you can drive buses and so many other things. Wishing you a ton of good luck on your journey ❤️
This video is an inspiration to all us ladies.
Yes, I love her ! I feel her!
Thank you babes!!!
Factss
Congratulations ‼️I start my Cdl class next month and I’m sooo excited ‼️🙌🏽
Hey gorgeous, how’s training going?
To me there's nothing better than the freedom of the road peace quiet time to think and listen to God you keep moving forward beautiful lady besafe and have blessed day 😎
Love that! ❤️
I've had my cdl for 2 months now and haven't joined a company. I found out after getting my cdl my city doesn't have many driver positions so now I'm looking for a regional position. Best of luck to you lady
Most city jobs will ask that you have 1 yr otr before hiring you & i think it’s because driving in city traffic is a bit risky for beginners. But you’re not limited to trunking. Go on indeed and type in CDL drivers. You can do transportation like the city bus, school bus, etc.
Same. Trucking is the gateway to fund other things aka my real dreams,. It’s not my passion. I was already driving for income, but way more to make just enough to survive. That’s not the way to live.
I agree, Shari! It's not my end goal but it's definitely getting me to where I ultimately want to be. How long have you been a driver?
Thank you for your honesty and transparency.
I loved this video! Thank you so much for the information. I’m waiting for the next one!
Thank you for sharing! I’m preparing to take my CDL permit soon. I will be training with a trucking company in January.
Where are you planning to train?! I’m interested as well.
You are so beautiful! And brave!🥰 I have my road test tomorrow 😅 If i pass i will be able to get my cdl. At this point i feel so tired 😣 But I’m almost there!💪 Blessings 🥰
Great video! Yes we need more stories, tips, q&a’s ,what should you look for in a company….❤️
Hi. I’m a new subscriber. You remind me a lot of myself. I’m going to be starting CDL school soon. Until then, I’m going to try to get an Amazon delivery driver job. I have an interview tomorrow. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. I’m really looking forward to getting my CDL. It’s all I think about all day. So, I’m just doing the research and studying to get my learner’s permit before I start school. Thanks for all the good tips. It’s rare that I don’t skip most of someone’s video. lol
Yep I went with prime. Had a horrible experience with my trainer and left. Most of the guys said wives didn't want a woman on their truck, there also wasn't enough trainers. I'm a diesel tech now but I have my CDL A permit I start school at a community college next month. I'm excited. I want to drive a tanker
The trainers are the biggest scammers ever. They normally offer to put you with a woman. I wouldn’t have went with a man. But don’t give up on truck driving if that’s your real goal or passion. Try again & again!
Just be mindful it’s mandatory for drivers to take a ELDT (Entry Level Driving Training) prior to the permit as of 2/07/22. The link is provided on your local DMV website for CDL permits/license/upgrades. I was grandfathered in already through the company I started out with (NJT/ 7yrs cdl b w/passenger & air brakes). I didn’t have too, but I did on my own anyway just to familiarize myself for educational purposes. Currently in the process of updating to Cdl A for school bus/hazmat/combination written test. Passed 2 so far just need to do combination part….. b4 my permit expires the end of February 2023🤦🏽♀️💆🏽♀️🤣. I’m committed so I got this, life is life’ing😂 frfr! Congrats to all those on this journey, and don’t give up. I think I should start my on channel 🤔 at this point💅🏽🫶🏽🤞🏽💋
Hi it's trinesha I am trying as well to get in CDL school. Need information and help definitely
I literally just left Prime during the TNT phase. I just couldn't deal with being cooped up for 3 months with a stranger. Mind you I have been in college dorm with 3 different roommates, but something about that experience was just different Lmao. So now Im at another mega carrier with a shorter training period. Congratulations to you and I hope that your are still prospering!
Hi thanks for telling me this .I have been an stna for 20 years and I'm slightly burnt out just Wana try something different thanks prayers for you have a blessed 🙌 day.
Same my friend. My name is trinesha and I think it's going to be so hard😊
Lol I wish I saw this video before i took my tests. I took the general knowledge, air brakes, passenger and school bus back to back. I passed them but I was definitely stressed.
Congratulations babe! You're one step closer to getting your cdl. & I definitely was stressed studying allllll day but it was worth it!
Hey sweety 👋 I’m only about 3 minutes into the video and just wanted to say… I feel like.. you saying it’s your job to be there for your family sounds really… exhausting to be honest. Yes they are your family and you love them and want what’s best for them.. but I just can’t help but think that having to work this job with the mindset that your family is your responsibility … is a bit stressful to say the least. I don’t have any contact with my family anymore so maybe I’m looking from a different set a views but I just couldn’t feel comfortable working just to support a family that I didn’t birth on my own. Yes you love them, but you have to make time for yourself and your wants. You can’t have all that responsibility and feel too good about it. But I hope you don’t take this the wrong way sweety ♥️ I just wanted to say this just in case you did feel overwhelmed.. you’re not alone and you are your own person. So it’s okay to take care of you hun ♥️ bless you sweety 🙏
Hey Babe,
I definitely have been learning this the hard way. I'm naturally a giver and since I've been in therapy, I've been learning so much about "people pleasing" as well as making myself everyone else's hero. I would empty my cup so often trying to help others but I'm learning to keep mine full and give only from the overflow. It became exhausting but I've freed myself from that girl. It literally feels like a weight lifted off my back. S/O to you for recognizing this. I think in our culture, once we get on, we want to go back and help everyone but sometimes that help just hinders them...and us.
@@ChaeBeauty yeah I was that way with my nephew but it ended in abuse from my sister to my nephew. So I had to get out of that situation and call child services. I was torn lost a sister and a nephew because she won’t allow me to see him. The abuse got so bad he’s now cross eyed and might be from brain damage 😞 everyday I love myself and tell myself that I did all I could do. And that keeps me going.
I want to be a truck driver so I can support Myself no one else… welll my guinea pigs as well lol I want to see the world and learn new things. I want to be free like a baby bird 🪺 I don’t want anything to do with my family all they do is sweep sh!t under the rug and pretend like my nephew isn’t even cross eyed saying he’s like that from wearing glasses 😞 no way in hell is that true. So I’m living in my truth and when I have kids they will NEVER EVER see my kids I don’t trust them at ALLL. I will never eveerrrr allow them near my kids neverrrr.
So yeah hun good luck to you have a blessed day and make sure you take care of youu! Godbless you 🙏
Hi. I’m a VERY Youthful strong 63 female and obtained my CDL licensed in Maryland; May 2022. One of my questions is -Do you have any training companies that you recommend for my first year?
Congrats on getting your CDL! No recommendations as I am not a trucker, but I do wish you the best & hope you found a great training company.
Omg i love me some you!! Lol the realest video ever and that accent!! Thank you this is helpful!
Aww thank youuuu❤️❤️❤️
I like your positive even in the situation you dont like and you were not judges people..🎉❤
I love 💕 this .. thinking about getting a cdl customer service jobs are aggy .
Even if you never use it, I’d still say get it. It’s great to have tbh.
@@ChaeBeauty thank you for reply is trucking trucks easy by chance
She sleep while your driving. She could've been dead,she was just doing it for a check...SMH Glad your ok.
Newbie .. I’m thinking about this and doing research came access this Chanel..thank you for sharing
Thank you gorgeous 💕
Hello sis can you give me a little key of how to get my ged that key cause if you don't mind .
Always remember that:
Romans 8:31
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
AND
Isaiah 54:17
“No weapon that is formed against
thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”
Thank you so much for this! I needed to read this ❤️
Great Video
Absolutely love your content..God Bless
Thank youuu❤️
That’s my biggest fear. That’s what I’m nervous about going through those mountains.
Honestly, it get better. Just remember to go at the speed you’re comfortable with. Forget everyone else. Put your hazards on and go at your pace. Everyone started somewhere. Make sure you use your engine brakes & don’t overuse your service brakes.
Absolutely you are right ✅ my driving experience, the best speed every situation you facing , up or down, to be aware , alert and very cautious , be responsible driver, keep an eye your surroundings, control your speed , don't be very close the front vehicle, give space keep in mind that you can control your speed and be prepared always emergency situation ,steady, calm , obey DOT regulations , keep in mind your safety and the others is very important then every thing will be easy, Thank you !!!!
Am with you all the way keep the good job up from the Bahamas
What company are you at right now? Also did u have to pay for your CDL after you left the training company?
I’m like how do a person go to sleep on a trainer and do t ask are you ok y’all both could been gone but as you said the grace of God I’m gonna finish in the new year but I want to be local so people swear oh nobody will hire you but I believe they will I have my own truck what’s the advise on that after training
Mad respect💯
We’re did u get that hair? 🤣🤣 I love u my baby I’m so proud of u.
I’m sure I got this hair from Pink City Beauty Supply in Miami.. it’s wasn’t good though. I’ve gotten better off of Aliexpress 🤣
Well I just got mines and I’m nervous! About the training and living on the road and I’m not doing teams 😂 I’m just not with it. I want solo and alot of these companies are not paying for beginners
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I feel you on not doing teams. If I wasn’t with my man, I don’t think I could. Just make sure you get the most out of training. Ask a million questions. Don’t walk away not knowing how to do things like back up, move the 5th wheel, set up your tandems, etc. Make them earn that training pay. Once you’re on your own, these things can be so hard so make them teach you until you understand it. Trucking isn’t hard, it’s just going to challenge you a bit because it’s new to you. And ALWAYS prioritize safety💕💕
Yes because I’ve just gotten used to be being in a truck by myself. I can’t deal! But I’m big on safety because I will be out there by myself and want to know what to do
Hmmmm...
Seemingly, the biggest hurdle is being able to support oneself, for at least one month, without any income. Few adults with regular living expenses can afford to go to school full-time for a mth, and be able to solely support their self. That's a VERY risky thing to do...no income.
I understand. And it wasn’t easy for me. I had to lean on the people closest to me for support. My partner worked full-time and trained in the evenings. It’s possible❤️
Hey how you doing!! I just watched your videos! I’m 20 and I’m super interested and joining the industry. I have so many questions!! I would love to ask you
Did you still have to Pay Prime for training most companies that offer CDL training/. You then have to put in so many hours or miles to Off set the Training .
Yes, so you can work for the company for a year and that will offset it. I left after a month because the next company offered me a bonus that would’ve paid them off however, when I asked them to provide me a copy of the contract with my signature they couldn’t. So I ended up not having to pay them.
hello sis. i have a question. after getting the AZ licence they need experience to drive local in canada. I am getting my licence soon. What are the chances of getting a job?
Thank you lady.
You are so welcome✨
So can you take each part of the permit test separately or do you have to take it all at one time?
You can take each part separately! That’s what I did. I studied in sections, taking each test before moving to the next section.
@@ChaeBeauty nice! Thank you beautiful 😍
You’re so welcome 😘
I’m in the process of deciding where to go to driving school and Prime is on that list.
Would you recommend not going to Prime or just pay for it myself through a private school?
Thank you for all this information
Hey, send me a message on IG and I’ll tell you why Prime was free for me😊
@@ChaeBeauty What do you go by on IG. 😁
did you have a contract with prime and if so what happen when you left? and did they have options to call and ask for a new recruiter?
Yes I had a contract. I wrote them an email saying I would pursue legal actions because my life was put in harms way due to negligence from their trainer etc. & they completely canceled the balance so I got my cdl for free basically.
You were very lucky to pursuing for a legally then they completely canceled your balance repayment when you stop working for one year contract and got free For The CDL license, Congratulations 👏
Say it Again! Real talk . To get a message you need money , to go on a vacation even for 2 days You Need money . To treat yourself and family to Dinner you need money . To buy a house you Need money. To get a nice apartment you Need Money. 💰.
We studied the same way 👏🏾
It definitely works and kept me from having to retake parts!
Amen sister I don’t like telling my plans either to people. Ya best sei da are ya haters lol
Can you make a video on how to study And what to study?
Okay, I’ll add it to my next video.
Love your channel
Is the smaller company that you got some experience with after Prime, a company that has options for other states? I'm in NC and I've had similar luck with these trainers. I'm still trying though. I wanted to find a company with not such long and strenuous training as Prime. If you don't feel comfortable posting info about you're previous work place for the public, I'd appreciate a DM.
Hey Doll, the company I went to is MGR in Summit, IL. I think what helped me is someone who already worked for them agreed to train me.
“And i wasn’t going off the mountain… sorry” 😗
Do you recommend driving locally ? Or how long do you stay away from home
I'm considering going local because I love being home. I've done OTR but now I want to see my place at least every other week.
I like ya Videio u done good
Also can you talk about if you like OTR, Local or Regional?
Okay, I'll add it to the Pros and Cons video I'm posting Sunday.
So you HAVE to get your cdl permit before going to school ?
I'm not sure if some schools help you get it. I'd call a few to ask what you'd need to get started since the requirements recently changed.
“I wasn’t going off the mountain”
What do your mean don’t take the test all in the same day? Do you mean you went to the DMV?
I went to the DMV multiple times. CDLs get priority so most days I was in and out!
Hey Chae chae
damn
Your a beautiful person ♥️
Likewise babe!
This cameraaaa😍🔥
It's the Sony ZV-1.. it's worth the purchase just get an extra battery.
With Prime, do you have to be from that state to apply?
No, you’ll go to that state to train then test.. then you’ll go to your home state to pickup your cdl.
Did you have to commit 1 year with prime?
I did but ended up not having to pay because of the experience with the trainer. She literally had me in so many unsafe situations I could’ve sued them.
I'm going to PRIME next week! 💪🏾
Ayeeee, I love to see this! Prime is good and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested. If you have any questions feel free to dm me on IG!
@@ChaeBeauty I definitely will, THANK YOU!!
Are you an owner operator?
Do you ever run into any male Lot Lizards at truck stops? 😁
Lmaooooo! Not that I know of. Mostly hitchhikers.
Thought they give you 200.00...for food etc..if u ask?...in orientation
They make ppl pay that back!
Your so pretty
Thank youuu🫶🏾
Good morning Beautiful Queen how are you doing this morning
Updates??
Posting Sunday babe!
Guud lawd you gorgeous 🥰😍🥰😍❤🌹💋💋
Wea u from
New Orleans!
U beautiful
What’s the gram?
Chae Beauty
That first trainer is bogus.
not interested
@@ronnie166 Bye then. You aren’t wanted here🙃
I want to do be a 🚛 driver.
Oh no women shouldn’t do mens duties please act like a woman it’s not appropriate being a truck driver as a woman some of y’all wanna be a man no wonder why there are lots of trans ppl now adays smh have some self respect for yourself
Lmaooo! What makes truck driving a “man’s duty?” It may be a male dominated industry but women have the rights to this career choice just as men do. I literally “drive” for a living. Does that mean I should do Uber, Lyft, etc.? What about the other industries that were “male only” at one point but are now dominated by women? I think worry about your own life and stop imposing your ignorance on others.
Also, ppls sexual identity is their business not mine. They have free will just like the rest of us.
Boo it’s the 20th century not the roaring 20’s we need money these days & being independent is key 💯💯.
Shut up you sound ignorant saying that. Who are you to dictate what a woman should or shouldn’t do.
Jesus Christ can't believe you just said the most oppressive statement on the internet especially these days and age. You that insecure?? This young lady is very secure and courageous to take on a job you probably don't want to take so back off and apologize for there'll be more women trucking while you stay in your cave?
Dumbest comment I’ve ever read
