I feel for you I’ve suffered with it for years. As time goes on it’ll get easier. You’ll be able to start to identify your triggers and stuff. It will get easier
I can totally relate to the anxiety issue. Back in Aug 2014 I was driving truck in Maryland, ended up in a head on fatal crash with a car that entered my lane abruptly. Some days it takes all I have to get into any vehicle and go somewhere, let alone go trucking. But I do my best to hit it head on and get er done. Stay strong brother.
Tim, I'm with you, brother. Going through some anxiety issues with work. Eliminated my clerk job, cut my hours, and put me doing work I did 23 years ago. At 63 years old it's not easy on my back. Anxiety is very high, loss of a third of my income. No one around me understands. You're lucky to have family and friends for support. Best of luck to you, you are truly blessed.
@George how is that the easy way? Take your retirement and enjoy life if that's in the budget... my father died at 64 no time to waste. He retired from state job at 50 worked anther job got retirement from that amd then took social security. You worked for the money take it.
I feel your pain Tim, anxiety sucks and having claustrophobia on top of that is really bad. I've self induced several anxiety attacks and finally got to where I can talk myself through them and calm myself down. Stay strong, God is there for you.
Mr Gentry - Dont need Give away - its about you and your family - gerat entetaiment -and honesty .. I wish you sucess you deaerve it - confronting both human and buiesness problems each day and working thru them - yu dont need luck my friend HONESTY & hard work ypu will win . Kindest Regards to you all . Wolfie ( EX TRUCK DRIVER - Cab Over 142 Scania - lookit up beast )
I know all about anxiety. I have got it very bad at times I can't leave the house or even work. I constantly over think everything even if it's nothing big. I can totally relate to your issues. Wish their was more help for people like us.
I have spine injuries from IED's in combat almost identical to your issue. Acupuncture and inversion boots have helped me since 2014 with no pain, no surgery and NO DRUGS...
I suffer with anxiety and depression. I have to force myself to get out of bed in the morning. But I do.! I found going to the gym helps me get in shape (mind and body). And like you I have a beautiful wife that suffers with some of the same things. I’m 65 and have gone through so many things but even when I thought I was alone and had nothing to go forward for God was with me. When I did things I knew were wrong and thought no one cared Good was there. When I opened my eyes and my heart God told me he has always has been with me from the day as a young man that I asked God to come into my heart and all the days I ignored him he waited for me and made sure I didn’t get into too much trouble. And after a lot of years of doing it my way I woke to a mess I made of my life. Divorced twice not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out . God asked me if I was ready to live a life he wanted for me. Since then I’ve tried my best to walk with him. This life will never be perfect but it can be good. And life after this one is going to be awesome perfect. Evil will do its best to trip you up to make you fall. You can’t be perfect but you can ask God to forgive you and help you. He might give you a miracle, he may bring someone into your life that will help you through your problem. Or he may tell you no! Just keep walking with him do your best and Tim I know that what your doing.
Tim I am a leader at Celebrate Recovery we help people with Anxiety and all sorts of mental problems. I have 20 years clean from alcohol and coca.i attend 2 different C Rs.I travel on my Harleys and share my Testimony.
Praying for you Tim. If you get anxiety building up... Just think of the sweet sound of that turbo, and let that ease your mind.. Then think of all the moving parts inside of that motor just chugging along.... All those moving parts coming together to make raw horsepower. You just have to RE FOCUS your attention to something besides the anxiety . So if you think about those things it will RE DIRECT your mind OFF the anxiety or panic.. Another thing they say is to look for 3 things you see right in site, and say those 3 things... like 10 times.. TO redirect .
I have severe anxiety and am having a lot of trouble coping with it, but your videos help me breath easy! Thank you for what you do and thank you for supplying us with the endless videos!
Tim I have panic attacks every day and I have to talk myself down and get myself back on track it takes a lot of self control, put faith in God and live life the best you can !
Hi Tim I know where you are coming from I had a few attacks that left me scared chitless and it’s no joke …Unles you had one you don’t know chit I spent 18days in my bedroom wouldn’t leave the house was to scared to drive my car it took mr three months to drive so unless you went through this Please don’t give advice I was put on meds and never looked back my friend I wish you lots of luck God Bless you and your family cheers ❤️❤️😃👍🦘🇦🇺
Tim you look good out there stay safe my friend remember that GOD said through him all things are possible you will get through this just put it in his hands and keep driving you will make it GOD had your back and he's your co-pilot God bless stay safe 👍👍
Pull your Bible out and start reading Psalms. Been working for me every time for years. Lord tells us over and over “fear not”. That’s good enough for me…….
Man I'm 56 and I will drive for you. I live in Kentucky though. Help me get my cdl and I'll stay on the road for you. My dad drove for years and I'm sure I can be a good driver just through what he's taught me.
Most companies require 5+ years experience but there are also companies that will help you get your cdl and give you a job to gain your experience that's why Swift is notorious for bad drivers lol
Hey buddy lean on the LORD he loves you more than you can imagine, give to him all your problems and sins and Jesus WILL restore you ! 🧡 that is what his will for your life is, to make you a FREE man of GOD
I have been dealing with anxiety for a while. Remember nobody has died from an anxiety attack. Keep your head up. I also am a truck driver. When I finally got it under control I felt relaxed in my truck. Now I feel it is my relaxing place. As much as truck driving is. Praying for fellow trucker.
We have one of those Gas Stations here in Florida and it is always packed with car. You are so right about if they would add Semi pumps they would make a killing...
I've been there Tim, anxiety is tough. It takes a lot of determination and will power to do simple things with anxiety. All you can do is keep working at it, and keep making yourself do the uncomfortable things. Eventually it'll all be behind you
All right Tim that's a good job getting up there and getting back home safely well with anxiety attack I think you doing a good job about facing it head on but you got to remember like I said before when you take a long trip and you gone for two or three days come home and sit down and relax for two or three days give your body a chance to rest just keep doing what you doing face it head on and don't work so hard man I know you got a lot on your mind and a lot to do but you have to let your mind rest sometimes keep your wife close to you and your kids closer that will help you deal with things after that because I know you love them all and May God keep blessing you man stay strong and don't never be afraid to ask for help sometimes you feel exactly coming on sometimes talking to someone else sometime to make May God keep blessings you and your family
The trucker side of me is hurt that Buccees dont allow semi trucks. But seeing some dirty truckers otr (trash & nastiness) I understand why they stay 4-wheelers/ rvs
I finally got my anxiety and panic attacks under control it is one of the worst things you can go through I can completely understand they tried to take my medical card away from me when I had my first one but thank God the doctors got it fixed I will be praying for you brother stay out on the road and I hope your anxiety goes away and panic attacks
I can relate because I suffer from anxiety and depression Tim. I always get bad anxiety during the winter. Just cuz of road conditions I live in Central pa the weather is unpredictable
Tim you are spot on regarding anxiety. Left untreated it will get worse and lead to depression. The urge to isolate and hunker down alone in the dark is what I needed most help with. I joined a men's spiritual group to help get me through those tough times.
I tell you one thing that makes anxiety run and hide. CBD gummies or any Indica strain . It's a mind F, cognitive behavioral therapy works, but so does pushing through the attack, and then bringing on an anxiety attack on your own , soon your brain goes back to its regularly scheduled programming.
My anxiety and nervous system was a wreck for a year. I got Covid and pulled off the side of the highway slept 4 hours and ever since then when I get in the truck I’m nervous because I feel like the same thing is going to happen. I was scared to death to drive. Idk if Covid was a part of it but my whole nervous system was screwed up
Hey tim glad to see you back in the saddle! Not sure where in Michigan you unloaded but if Kalamazoo waant too far theres great lakes trailer washout around the corner from the jbs plant just south of plainwell, if you ever get loads up to canada we should talk!
Hey Gentry family just gotta question...what do you use to record your videos? Thinking about starting a YT channel of what I do as I'm a truck driver also. I deliver a lot of different things to customers and I feel people would like to see it. Thanks. Stay safe, stay strong, and the counting has worked for me also.
no never! old timers just keep their mouth shut and die of an early heart attack at 24 years old like me. I figured I only have a couple hours left at work I should just push through the anxiety and this "heartburn" I was feeling then BOOM! Two heart attacks from anxiety, Woke up in the hospital unable to move my left side.
I typed a big comment on the first video when you posted it to say it sounded like neck issues and panic attack’s and deleted it instead of posting. Glad it was something less serious
Tim if you want to talk I’ve got anxiety on the road until the Dr put me on Ltd. I have a couple feet of Titanium in my neck and missing 3 sections of my spine. If you’d like to chat goto my About page and email me.
I get it buddy been going through it since 90 some mornings it's extremely difficult nobody at work knows what I go through I built hotrods on my own for a long time but I know only do mechanical work for a body shop removing dashes and suspension or engines when firewall or a pillar needs to be straightened or changed not my first love but keeps me occupied hate it when all the sudden I start shaking uncontrollably scary sometimes
Thank you for talking about it Tim. I had a situation happen with me 2yrs ago on my way to work. It was the first time I've ever experienced anxiety. It's scary when you can't control yourself. You got this brother 💪
I always thought anxiety was something easy to deal with…. That’s until I had a panic attack when I was 19. I’m about to turn 21 and I still haven’t found a way to completely get back to normal. It definitely sucks and it’s crazy what it can make you feel/ do to your body. Glad to see you getting back in the truck and facing it head on its harder then people think.
you need to understand what " anxiety " is. its fight or flight, figure out what is triggering you to be in the state. ether deal with it or eliminate it completely. anxiety can be crippling but it is manageable with out medication. some times its best to see a good doctor and get looked over. could be simple as to much sugar or something serious.
I had them bad between 30-32. I just turned 34 and rarely get the feeling now. It gets better. In my case after seeing many doctors with no real cause or diagnosis, it just vanished as quickly as it appeared.
Anxiety slayers right here, Psalm 23 King James Version 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 91 King James Version 91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Anxiety for sure can be crippling I've dealt with it for many years. Good to hear you are finding ways to deal with it. Welcome back to my home state of Michigan. Been farming & trucking out of Michigan all my life. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Safe travels to ya. Peace, 🇺🇲
Tim, I understand completely what you're going through. I trucked for over 20 years then all of a sudden I developed a fear of tall bridges to the point I would have to stop and beg God to help me get through.
Cygnet Ohio is pronounced sig-net You were within 30 miles of me in Fostoria Ohio And even closer to Risingsun Ohio where I lived for most of my life Really enjoy your channel and how you interact with everyone including your son My dad was a trucker for a number of years and I spent about three or four years riding along in some of his trucks keeping the guys awake I have physical disabilities so I'm unable to drive big truck because most of them are manual And now it's 60 years old I don't really feel like trying Keep up the good work and keep showing a good example
Good to see you back in the saddle. In my pot in the ramp I have a gate that drops in a slide under the gate for the belly ramp so the cattle will not try and go under the gate and try to push the flop down gate up to get out.
I understand your feeling. In August they thought I was having a heart attack but come to find out being type 2 diabetic and eating fast food for breakfast lunch and dinner otr . My diabetes kicked me in the butt through the heart and gave me a huge wake up call I’m cleared to go back just trying to find the right truck now to buy
Tim! That took a lot of courage to brush yourself off and get back in the seat. I have been suffering through depression often on for 16 years now. Having a wife and family helping me through that has helped a ton, but also getting the therapy that I need has also helped. In 2006, I was diagnosed with having panic attacks. Since I got married in 2008, those have diminished, now that I have a good support system. Thank you for being such the wonderful person that you are! we are never alone in this battle. I look forward to the day when we all get to see our heavenly father and I get to truly see with my new eyes everything around me. Take care and God bless.
I'm 43, been trucking for 15yr & I have had the same thing happened with me, anxiety is a real & scary thing. Stay tough brother, it really helps me to talk to someone while I'm driving
Dr. Jim and anxiety. I lost my kidney 2005 then 6mos. Later Divorce. 2016 other kidney yes anxiety is bad. But when you deal with it by yourself sucks. I am not crying blues. I been in hospital for surgery 6 different hospitals. And yes health care is bad. I been dead coma All I say sometimes taking on yourself seems to help. But when hits boom. It's some b.s. going on right now . I like what your doing diversified. Today is not good for me I have no support. And for Braxton driving vehicles on your property Cool that's how you learn and hope his truck buying hope he makes fleet. Sorry about babbling But take it easy.
I suffer from anxiety since the day my wife and I lost our daughter. This morning was the hardest to wake up and push to go to work. I never let things get to me but now I have good days and bad days. I'm sitting in the work truck.heading to Vegas to get a load of diesel and I just feel so num. Tim I know how you feel cause I go through it alot lately.
I been through it change my whole life and still ant 100% over it I just learn how to deal with it sometimes it’s hard but when your mind tells you something it’s hard to change it
Tim after my head on collision while driving a gas tanker and yes there was fatalities. My dad gave me the best advice. And it's helped with my anxiety and ptsd from the accident. His advice was I got bucked off the biggest bull there is. I had 2 choices either lay there and get goard or get up dust myself off and ride that batch. It's what I did and actually went back to hauling fuel and got almost million miles of safe driving. You got this and ride and own that bull 💪
I totally understand. I had knee surgery about a year ago. I had it in my head if I went to sleep I would die. I didn’t sleep for over 3 days. Thank the lord for my wonderful wife of 38 years, she saved me. I was about to lose my mind. I pray you get over your issues. Be safe my friend.
I’m glad you made that step but I would recommend you use a neck brace to try to help you, might not look great but it will atleast keep your neck from putting to much pressure on you nerve.
I know what you mean brother! But just remember you are surrounded by a good family and friends! I went through the same thing when I came back from Vietnam I had ptsd they didn’t even know what was wrong with me. It took a good 25 years to over come it but in the mean time Agent Orange really did a number on my body. My heart is in pretty bad condition but I’m pushing through! So hang in there it will get easier maybe you can get you neck operated on. For me well there is no hope as far as my heart but I’m living everyday as a matter of fact I got to see my granddaughters today.I keep my body in the best shape possible. My wife of 51 years go to the gym almost everyday!
Tim ive been where you are!its not a fast run to get to the other side!but you can get there.its fight or flight inside you, i know how you are feeling?like powerless and confused and scared! keep working on managing the stressors in your daily life. i still have spells to this day,but i know what it is and let it run its course.Take care of you and yours Driver. Trucker Mike
Don't apologize man! I think we would all be amazed how many of your subs struggle with the same thing. It's extremely under reported imo. Good on you for posting about it.
My fiance goes through it daily and the best advice given is to give them all the positive advice possible and big dawg you are a top act and I believe you will make it through this
eventually every driver goes through what you are going through I have so did a few of my drivers we just call it a break down stress does that to a person I just took a little time for my self and changed up my driving habits instead of running a month or more at a time I only run 2 to 3 weeks at time now
Tim I am 59 years old and have to be careful with depression. I had bulk tankers and flats for hauling cement powder and masonry supplies. My dad died in a tractor trailer accident in Ohio in 1989. I was 21. I never had depression until my wife of 20 yrs took off. I had two boys at home. Talk about life style change. I had to hire drivers so I could take care of boys and paper work. I couldn't drive my truck to the main road and back for weeks. Your not alone. I pulling for you!♥️
Anxiety & panic attacks are NO JOKE! I also have had pinched nerves in my neck. Wound up getting 2 vertebra fused in my neck after trying everything. I know what ur going thru & my prayers go out to u and all others that experience anxiety, depression & panic attacks. Positive thought replacement, my faith, & my wife helped me through it and I'm way better today. God bless.
Hello it's Kris in Las Vegas I've been driving 40 years there's a couple things I will not haul I've had my CDL since I was 18 I'm 58 everybody thinks I'm in my early 40s I don't smoke I don't drink or do illegal drugs I will not haul gasoline and I will not haul cows or pigs or any animal to be slaughtered I care more about animals than and I do people
Hey Tim good video, I am glad anxiety is not killing your desire to get back trucking. Old FLD reminds me getting into bull hauling for a smaller but very good small trucking company had 4 Pete's / 2- 379's and 2 - 277 with 2 Freightliners FLD. I used to run similar setup in a 1991 Freightliner FLD with a 3406C Cat motor with13 speed and 3.90 gear ratio as we go to Montana mountains to pickup feeders from some nice ranches and then take them feeders to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Misouri , sometimes Oklahoma too. As I got seasoned bull hauler I moved to the 379 Pete. As new hand gets the FLD. The other FLD was the bosses personal truck. If your have issues with your neck muscles and nerves. I found a pain management doctor that is good and can read you MRI. As I am now pain free as I have RFA done on my faucet joints in my neck and lower back. Radio Frequency Ablation is used to burn or kill the faucet joint little nerves and last me from about a 1.5 to 2.0 years each time until the nerves grow back. I had issues in my lower back as the nerves continue to stay inflamed and muscles never would relax or go down, because the nerves are in constant hurt. Once done the RFA now 3 times for over 6 years and not hurting. And my nerves to my toes are not numb either. There are 2 separate main nerves in your legs. A basic top and bottom of your feet and legs. I used to get numb toes on the bottom of my foot. So just thought let you know about RFA and a good pain management doctor. The doctor can even do a nerve block injections too see if that would work. I would ask to get knocked out as can hurt fairly good without any knock drugs for RFA. Good luck and take care.
Hope and pray your better now. I passed thru there Friday, made it east of Knoxville and truck laced down on me. DEF system on 13 Pete completely failed on me 😬😬😬
Its sucks ......anxiety. been dealing with it since 2000.......fighting your own mind is horrible.........self talk tim........take time for you........wish you the best in the future
When I lived in Seymour I ended up in the hospital over panic attacks and stress and doctor did test once they came back after the test and getting me calmed down and told me that I put such a strain on my heart from driving my blood pressure up and body reacting that if I ever had another that it probably would kill me so few months of doing things and lowering stress and having people around to be by and talk to and keep busy I got thru it . Know what your going thru been their so if ya ever want to talk or discuss about it lete know I drive and comment every so often
They're all up and they're all done now you guys have a good one and God bless you God's always over your guys's head and always with you he's always with you all the time God bless you I trust me I've already met God twice and he's always with me and he's always with you folks God bless you

Anxiety can sure seem
Hellish 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏼
I feel for you I’ve suffered with it for years. As time goes on it’ll get easier. You’ll be able to start to identify your triggers and stuff. It will get easier
I can totally relate to the anxiety issue. Back in Aug 2014 I was driving truck in Maryland, ended up in a head on fatal crash with a car that entered my lane abruptly. Some days it takes all I have to get into any vehicle and go somewhere, let alone go trucking. But I do my best to hit it head on and get er done. Stay strong brother.
Tim, I'm with you, brother. Going through some anxiety issues with work. Eliminated my clerk job, cut my hours, and put me doing work I did 23 years ago. At 63 years old it's not easy on my back. Anxiety is very high, loss of a third of my income. No one around me understands. You're lucky to have family and friends for support. Best of luck to you, you are truly blessed.
I have anxiety real bad. I understand
If you have enough time for a retirement from your company take that take social security and get a 20 hour a week job
Praying for you
@George how is that the easy way? Take your retirement and enjoy life if that's in the budget... my father died at 64 no time to waste. He retired from state job at 50 worked anther job got retirement from that amd then took social security. You worked for the money take it.
@George the Fck you mean the easy way? If you worked long enough for retirement it’s a benefit of the job.
I feel your pain Tim, anxiety sucks and having claustrophobia on top of that is really bad. I've self induced several anxiety attacks and finally got to where I can talk myself through them and calm myself down. Stay strong, God is there for you.
Sucks when you have to have CT scans every 6 months too! Good luck to you!
You’re a class act, pushing through life’s issues to support your family.
Mr Gentry - Dont need Give away - its about you and your family - gerat entetaiment -and honesty ..

I know all about anxiety. I have got it very bad at times I can't leave the house or even work. I constantly over think everything even if it's nothing big. I can totally relate to your issues. Wish their was more help for people like us.
I have spine injuries from IED's in combat almost identical to your issue. Acupuncture and inversion boots have helped me since 2014 with no pain, no surgery and NO DRUGS...
Tim, I wish you all the best to get through this . Just remember we are with you and God will watch over you!
I suffer with anxiety and depression. I have to force myself to get out of bed in the morning. But I do.!
I found going to the gym helps me get in shape (mind and body). And like you I have a beautiful wife that suffers with some of the same things.
I’m 65 and have gone through so many things but even when I thought I was alone and had nothing to go forward for God was with me. When I did things I knew were wrong and thought no one cared Good was there.
When I opened my eyes and my heart God told me he has always has been with me from the day as a young man that I asked God to come into my heart and all the days I ignored him he waited for me and made sure I didn’t get into too much trouble.
And after a lot of years of doing it my way I woke to a mess I made of my life. Divorced twice not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out . God asked me if I was ready to live a life he wanted for me.
Since then I’ve tried my best to walk with him. This life will never be perfect but it can be good. And life after this one is going to be awesome perfect.
Evil will do its best to trip you up to make you fall. You can’t be perfect but you can ask God to forgive you and help you. He might give you a miracle, he may bring someone into your life that will help you through your problem. Or he may tell you no! Just keep walking with him do your best and Tim I know that what your doing.
Tim I am a leader at Celebrate Recovery we help people with Anxiety and all sorts of mental problems. I have 20 years clean from alcohol and coca.i attend 2 different C Rs.I travel on my Harleys and share my Testimony.
Praying for you Tim. If you get anxiety building up... Just think of the sweet sound of that turbo, and let that ease your mind.. Then think of all the moving parts inside of that motor just chugging along.... All those moving parts coming together to make raw horsepower. You just have to RE FOCUS your attention to something besides the anxiety . So if you think about those things it will RE DIRECT your mind OFF the anxiety or panic.. Another thing they say is to look for 3 things you see right in site, and say those 3 things... like 10 times.. TO redirect .
DON'T BUY THAT TRAILER..it's junk they just want that $ they didn't even clean the damn thing
I have severe anxiety and am having a lot of trouble coping with it, but your videos help me breath easy! Thank you for what you do and thank you for supplying us with the endless videos!
Do what's best for you. Follow God's lead
Tim I have panic attacks every day and I have to talk myself down and get myself back on track it takes a lot of self control, put faith in God and live life the best you can !

Pull your Bible out and start reading Psalms. Been working for me every time for years. Lord tells us over and over “fear not”. That’s good enough for me…….
Don’t apologize. Ur good & briefing helps
I battle with anxiety constantly it sucks nothing worse than when it hit you hard because it does cripple you
Man I'm 56 and I will drive for you. I live in Kentucky though. Help me get my cdl and I'll stay on the road for you. My dad drove for years and I'm sure I can be a good driver just through what he's taught me.
He needs experienced drivers to help,nothing more to cause anxiety than having a new driver in your truck.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎
Most companies require 5+ years experience but there are also companies that will help you get your cdl and give you a job to gain your experience that's why Swift is notorious for bad drivers lol
Yea exp. Driving. Not fun anymore. lol. Daaammmm hate to pay the toll on that dump trailer. I think I counted. 6 axles on trailer
Hey buddy lean on the LORD he loves you more than you can imagine, give to him all your problems and sins and Jesus WILL restore you ! 🧡 that is what his will for your life is, to make you a FREE man of GOD
I have been dealing with anxiety for a while. Remember nobody has died from an anxiety attack. Keep your head up. I also am a truck driver. When I finally got it under control I felt relaxed in my truck. Now I feel it is my relaxing place. As much as truck driving is. Praying for fellow trucker.
My text for so bad. I went to a total black out for UP to 20 minutes. So I know what you're going to god blue with you
We have one of those Gas Stations here in Florida and it is always packed with car. You are so right about if they would add Semi pumps they would make a killing...
I've been there Tim, anxiety is tough. It takes a lot of determination and will power to do simple things with anxiety. All you can do is keep working at it, and keep making yourself do the uncomfortable things. Eventually it'll all be behind you
All right Tim that's a good job getting up there and getting back home safely well with anxiety attack I think you doing a good job about facing it head on but you got to remember like I said before when you take a long trip and you gone for two or three days come home and sit down and relax for two or three days give your body a chance to rest just keep doing what you doing face it head on and don't work so hard man I know you got a lot on your mind and a lot to do but you have to let your mind rest sometimes keep your wife close to you and your kids closer that will help you deal with things after that because I know you love them all and May God keep blessing you man stay strong and don't never be afraid to ask for help sometimes you feel exactly coming on sometimes talking to someone else sometime to make May God keep blessings you and your family
You got this Tim, be safe, don't over do it and God Bless y'all!!
The trucker side of me is hurt that Buccees dont allow semi trucks. But seeing some dirty truckers otr (trash & nastiness) I understand why they stay 4-wheelers/ rvs
I finally got my anxiety and panic attacks under control it is one of the worst things you can go through I can completely understand they tried to take my medical card away from me when I had my first one but thank God the doctors got it fixed I will be praying for you brother stay out on the road and I hope your anxiety goes away and panic attacks
I can relate because I suffer from anxiety and depression Tim. I always get bad anxiety during the winter. Just cuz of road conditions I live in Central pa the weather is unpredictable
I live with anxiety every freakin day. It all started in my late 30’s. It sucks. A persons mind can be the worst enemy!
That's the truth!!!
Well done Tim, looks like you are onto a good strategy for getting through this thing.
And well done Bryce👍🏼
Tim you are spot on regarding anxiety. Left untreated it will get worse and lead to depression. The urge to isolate and hunker down alone in the dark is what I needed most help with. I joined a men's spiritual group to help get me through those tough times.

I tell you one thing that makes anxiety run and hide. CBD gummies or any Indica strain . It's a mind F, cognitive behavioral therapy works, but so does pushing through the attack, and then bringing on an anxiety attack on your own , soon your brain goes back to its regularly scheduled programming.
Just keep on trucking. Keep your self healthy. I'm out here rooting for you. It's like getting bucked off, you crawl back on and keep moving forward.
My anxiety and nervous system was a wreck for a year. I got Covid and pulled off the side of the highway slept 4 hours and ever since then when I get in the truck I’m nervous because I feel like the same thing is going to happen. I was scared to death to drive. Idk if Covid was a part of it but my whole nervous system was screwed up
Hey tim glad to see you back in the saddle! Not sure where in Michigan you unloaded but if Kalamazoo waant too far theres great lakes trailer washout around the corner from the jbs plant just south of plainwell, if you ever get loads up to canada we should talk!
Hey Gentry family just gotta question...what do you use to record your videos? Thinking about starting a YT channel of what I do as I'm a truck driver also. I deliver a lot of different things to customers and I feel people would like to see it. Thanks. Stay safe, stay strong, and the counting has worked for me also.
Wearing crocks would give anyone mental problems
Can you imagine us old time drivers complain about anxiety? Lol
no never! old timers just keep their mouth shut and die of an early heart attack at 24 years old like me. I figured I only have a couple hours left at work I should just push through the anxiety and this "heartburn" I was feeling then BOOM! Two heart attacks from anxiety, Woke up in the hospital unable to move my left side.
Get that fixed Tim i had the same thing and waited too long to keep working. Got some nerve damage from it. Stay safe brother..
I typed a big comment on the first video when you posted it to say it sounded like neck issues and panic attack’s and deleted it instead of posting. Glad it was something less serious
Tim if you want to talk I’ve got anxiety on the road until the Dr put me on Ltd. I have a couple feet of Titanium in my neck and missing 3 sections of my spine. If you’d like to chat goto my About page and email me.
I get it buddy been going through it since 90 some mornings it's extremely difficult nobody at work knows what I go through I built hotrods on my own for a long time but I know only do mechanical work for a body shop removing dashes and suspension or engines when firewall or a pillar needs to be straightened or changed not my first love but keeps me occupied hate it when all the sudden I start shaking uncontrollably scary sometimes
No sent me a message and it's somewhere went somewhere in my phone so I can't find it sorry about that
Love this channel. Nothing but raw authentic content coming from real people. Keep it up and stay safe Gentry Family.
Thank you for talking about it Tim. I had a situation happen with me 2yrs ago on my way to work. It was the first time I've ever experienced anxiety. It's scary when you can't control yourself. You got this brother 💪
Fuck off muhommed
@@tylergutierrez335 🤣
I always thought anxiety was something easy to deal with…. That’s until I had a panic attack when I was 19. I’m about to turn 21 and I still haven’t found a way to completely get back to normal. It definitely sucks and it’s crazy what it can make you feel/ do to your body. Glad to see you getting back in the truck and facing it head on its harder then people think.
That’s the worst part of it haha
you need to understand what " anxiety " is. its fight or flight, figure out what is triggering you to be in the state. ether deal with it or eliminate it completely. anxiety can be crippling but it is manageable with out medication. some times its best to see a good doctor and get looked over. could be simple as to much sugar or something serious.
I had them bad between 30-32. I just turned 34 and rarely get the feeling now. It gets better. In my case after seeing many doctors with no real cause or diagnosis, it just vanished as quickly as it appeared.
Hey it's a hard deal man bin there you will get better
I think I'll call him NORM. Glad you are doing better. Thanks for the vid.
When solenoids go bad, don't they ground them self's out ?? Say hi to the dang cat lol
Anxiety slayers right here,
Psalm 23
King James Version
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 91
King James Version
91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Amen.
Tim it's good to see you running the road again try to keep yourself in moderation please
Anxiety for sure can be crippling I've dealt with it for many years. Good to hear you are finding ways to deal with it. Welcome back to my home state of Michigan. Been farming & trucking out of Michigan all my life. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Safe travels to ya. Peace, 🇺🇲
Tim, I understand completely what you're going through. I trucked for over 20 years then all of a sudden I developed a fear of tall bridges to the point I would have to stop and beg God to help me get through.

God bless you brother. Thankfully you have good support. Keep your head up brother.
Emelia Hartford has it down...it's ok to not be ok. I'm down with that. Best wishes on feeling better.
Cygnet Ohio is pronounced sig-net
You were within 30 miles of me in Fostoria Ohio
And even closer to Risingsun Ohio where I lived for most of my life
Really enjoy your channel and how you interact with everyone including your son
My dad was a trucker for a number of years and I spent about three or four years riding along in some of his trucks keeping the guys awake I have physical disabilities so I'm unable to drive big truck because most of them are manual
And now it's 60 years old I don't really feel like trying
Keep up the good work and keep showing a good example
Tim, appreciate being part of your channel
Good to see you back in the saddle. In my pot in the ramp I have a gate that drops in a slide under the gate for the belly ramp so the cattle will not try and go under the gate and try to push the flop down gate up to get out.
You're giving me anxiety walking behind those cows. You are doing the correct thing by facing you anxiety head on. Good luck to you and your family.
I understand your feeling. In August they thought I was having a heart attack but come to find out being type 2 diabetic and eating fast food for breakfast lunch and dinner otr . My diabetes kicked me in the butt through the heart and gave me a huge wake up call I’m cleared to go back just trying to find the right truck now to buy
Nice work tim.
The cattle floats are very different to what we run in aus. Is this to do with height? 2 deck 4.6meters (15foot)
Or other reasons?
Tim! That took a lot of courage to brush yourself off and get back in the seat. I have been suffering through depression often on for 16 years now. Having a wife and family helping me through that has helped a ton, but also getting the therapy that I need has also helped.
In 2006, I was diagnosed with having panic attacks. Since I got married in 2008, those have diminished, now that I have a good support system. Thank you for being such the wonderful person that you are! we are never alone in this battle. I look forward to the day when we all get to see our heavenly father and I get to truly see with my new eyes everything around me. Take care and God bless.
Go to chiropractor they can help with pinched nerves. Medicine from the doctor just masks the pain.
I'm 43, been trucking for 15yr & I have had the same thing happened with me, anxiety is a real & scary thing. Stay tough brother, it really helps me to talk to someone while I'm driving
Keep up the good work Tim. Seen you guys driving through Michigan. Those cattle are in for a treat when winter hits here in Michigan
Dr. Jim and anxiety. I lost my kidney 2005 then 6mos. Later
Divorce. 2016 other kidney yes anxiety is bad.
But when you deal with it by yourself sucks. I am not crying blues. I been in hospital for surgery 6 different hospitals. And yes health care is bad. I been dead coma
All I say sometimes taking on yourself seems to help. But when hits boom.
It's some b.s. going on right now . I like what your doing diversified.
Today is not good for me
I have no support.
And for Braxton driving vehicles on your property
Cool that's how you learn and hope his truck buying hope he makes fleet.
Sorry about babbling
But take it easy.
Tim you ever been to ibp dakota city Nebraska
I suffer from anxiety since the day my wife and I lost our daughter. This morning was the hardest to wake up and push to go to work. I never let things get to me but now I have good days and bad days. I'm sitting in the work truck.heading to Vegas to get a load of diesel and I just feel so num. Tim I know how you feel cause I go through it alot lately.
I been through it change my whole life and still ant 100% over it I just learn how to deal with it sometimes it’s hard but when your mind tells you something it’s hard to change it
Only way to face it is head on.
Every time I see that FLD makes me nostalgic. I drove one just like it at A&R Transport for years. Dang good truck.
Tim after my head on collision while driving a gas tanker and yes there was fatalities. My dad gave me the best advice. And it's helped with my anxiety and ptsd from the accident. His advice was I got bucked off the biggest bull there is. I had 2 choices either lay there and get goard or get up dust myself off and ride that batch. It's what I did and actually went back to hauling fuel and got almost million miles of safe driving. You got this and ride and own that bull 💪
I totally understand. I had knee surgery about a year ago. I had it in my head if I went to sleep I would die. I didn’t sleep for over 3 days. Thank the lord for my wonderful wife of 38 years, she saved me. I was about to lose my mind. I pray you get over your issues. Be safe my friend.
With your leg arm going numb you shouldn't be driving
I have had the same.issue in the past. Went 5 days with no.sleep and.they almost committed me. Scary.
That is my type of trailer. One I can buy and put sweat equity into. I’m just not ready right now

That's an Old Mike Moore Trailer.. H Bar M Rodeo Company. RIP 🙏 Mike Moore' he's is Legend around here. " Greatest Show On Dirt "
I’m glad you made that step but I would recommend you use a neck brace to try to help you, might not look great but it will atleast keep your neck from putting to much pressure on you nerve.
I know what you mean brother! But just remember you are surrounded by a good family and friends! I went through the same thing when I came back from Vietnam I had ptsd they didn’t even know what was wrong with me. It took a good 25 years to over come it but in the mean time Agent Orange really did a number on my body. My heart is in pretty bad condition but I’m pushing through! So hang in there it will get easier maybe you can get you neck operated on. For me well there is no hope as far as my heart but I’m living everyday as a matter of fact I got to see my granddaughters today.I keep my body in the best shape possible. My wife of 51 years go to the gym almost everyday!
Tim.thank you for sharing this serous issue. I'm struggling with cptsd . I'm dealing with the neck issues. God bless and keep you Tim.
Tim ive been where you are!its not a fast run to get to the other side!but you can get there.its fight or flight inside you, i know how you are feeling?like powerless and confused and scared! keep working on managing the stressors in your daily life. i still have spells to this day,but i know what it is and let it run its course.Take care of you and yours Driver. Trucker Mike
Keep positive your doing your best don't forget to give yourself some time your doing great 👍
Don't apologize man! I think we would all be amazed how many of your subs struggle with the same thing. It's extremely under reported imo. Good on you for posting about it.
My fiance goes through it daily and the best advice given is to give them all the positive advice possible and big dawg you are a top act and I believe you will make it through this
Will be praying for you tim may God bless you and keep you safe my friend. And will pray for all of yall. God bless take care until the next one.
eventually every driver goes through what you are going through I have so did a few of my drivers we just call it a break down stress does that to a person I just took a little time for my self and changed up my driving habits instead of running a month or more at a time I only run 2 to 3 weeks at time now
Tim I am 59 years old and have to be careful with depression. I had bulk tankers and flats for hauling cement powder and masonry supplies. My dad died in a tractor trailer accident in Ohio in 1989. I was 21. I never had depression until my wife of 20 yrs took off. I had two boys at home. Talk about life style change. I had to hire drivers so I could take care of boys and paper work. I couldn't drive my truck to the main road and back for weeks. Your not alone. I pulling for you!♥️

Anxiety & panic attacks are NO JOKE! I also have had pinched nerves in my neck. Wound up getting 2 vertebra fused in my neck after trying everything. I know what ur going thru & my prayers go out to u and all others that experience anxiety, depression & panic attacks. Positive thought replacement, my faith, & my wife helped me through it and I'm way better today. God bless.
Hello it's Kris in Las Vegas I've been driving 40 years there's a couple things I will not haul I've had my CDL since I was 18 I'm 58 everybody thinks I'm in my early 40s I don't smoke I don't drink or do illegal drugs I will not haul gasoline and I will not haul cows or pigs or any animal to be slaughtered I care more about animals than and I do people
My last name is Gentry. Do you have relatives from north Carolina or Texas
Hey Tim good video, I am glad anxiety is not killing your desire to get back trucking. Old FLD reminds me getting into bull hauling for a smaller but very good small trucking company had 4 Pete's / 2- 379's and 2 - 277 with 2 Freightliners FLD. I used to run similar setup in a 1991 Freightliner FLD with a 3406C Cat motor with13 speed and 3.90 gear ratio as we go to Montana mountains to pickup feeders from some nice ranches and then take them feeders to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Misouri , sometimes Oklahoma too. As I got seasoned bull hauler I moved to the 379 Pete. As new hand gets the FLD. The other FLD was the bosses personal truck. If your have issues with your neck muscles and nerves. I found a pain management doctor that is good and can read you MRI. As I am now pain free as I have RFA done on my faucet joints in my neck and lower back. Radio Frequency Ablation is used to burn or kill the faucet joint little nerves and last me from about a 1.5 to 2.0 years each time until the nerves grow back. I had issues in my lower back as the nerves continue to stay inflamed and muscles never would relax or go down, because the nerves are in constant hurt. Once done the RFA now 3 times for over 6 years and not hurting. And my nerves to my toes are not numb either. There are 2 separate main nerves in your legs. A basic top and bottom of your feet and legs. I used to get numb toes on the bottom of my foot. So just thought let you know about RFA and a good pain management doctor. The doctor can even do a nerve block injections too see if that would work. I would ask to get knocked out as can hurt fairly good without any knock drugs for RFA. Good luck and take care.
Hope and pray your better now. I passed thru there Friday, made it east of Knoxville and truck laced down on me. DEF system on 13 Pete completely failed on me 😬😬😬
Its sucks ......anxiety. been dealing with it since 2000.......fighting your own mind is horrible.........self talk tim........take time for you........wish you the best in the future
When I lived in Seymour I ended up in the hospital over panic attacks and stress and doctor did test once they came back after the test and getting me calmed down and told me that I put such a strain on my heart from driving my blood pressure up and body reacting that if I ever had another that it probably would kill me so few months of doing things and lowering stress and having people around to be by and talk to and keep busy I got thru it . Know what your going thru been their so if ya ever want to talk or discuss about it lete know I drive and comment every so often
Been there Tim you will get through it be safe
Longer a person wait the harder it is to get back to a normal routine . Guy just has to pray for the strength to get going and be safe . God bless
