Fun video Alex ! thanks for taking us along to places we may not get to, That museum area was really interesting. Its good to see that when you get a chance you do enjoy the outdoors. Healthy and Safe travels >> 😊🙏✌
The farm implement with the seat and the lever was a cultivator. One a crop was planted and growing, the implement could be driven down the rows to loosen dirt around the plants and help remove weeks. Really enjoyed the trip with you and you have a wonderful inquisitive mind. Be safe and keep on trucking!
Love this channel!!! We got an "Oh mah gash!" within the first minute! Honestly though. Really enjoyed watching you drive out west. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing
That plaza is a drop yard for ABF found out 2 weeks ago, also the marks in between 1 quarter and half tank are called the 8th marks. I.E. 1/8,3/8,5/8, and 7/8.
Check out Slip Bluff County Park in southern Iowa. It is adjacent to and accessible from a rest area in Southern Iowa off I-35 exit 7. The rest area is on the East side of the interstate and is accessible from both North and Southbound traffic. There is a trail that goes around and over a small lake. It is a full circle and straddles a cliff. The trail is 1.4 miles long and connects to a campground. Lots of deer and other wildlife to see. Trust me, it is very unique and worth exploring.
Don't you love this guy ! There should be a company in American Truck Simulator called 'AlexTheTruckingGuy'. Well up to now i just gonna truck in my Kenworth T680 in ATS ! Love the content of these vids !! Keep up the good work !
Alex, I recommend getting polarized sunglasses, when you have to look into the setting sun. It helps cut the glare. Or if you aren't a glasses person, they do have some you can clip to your visor. [I am not recommending those stupid commercials ones.] Just something cheap to try first. Then if it works. You can put more money into something better. BTW, welcome to driving through the Midwest!!!
I like to play these longer vids while I’m driving. I’m not a trucker, but my dad was. His handle was “scatterbrain”. It’s nice because it’s like Alex is hanging with me while I travel. Listen, I understand that I have a weird relationship with TH-cam.. lol. Please stop laughing at me…. 😋
This is my own thought on this one but I’m fairly certain that once his company saw that video, my guy, Alex, will be live streaming from the unemployment line. I could be wrong but, just my opinion. Cheers.
this is your creepiest video. like watching a horror film where the characters keep going to places they shouldn't be then meets Jason or that jeepers creepers character :D you are definitely different :D keep it up great watching!😬
I read about turning off exhaust brakes in low traction conditions, but not cruise control. I guess they are done for two different reasons in the same circumstances
It sometimes baffles me that truck drivers in the US don't have to use their horn 😅 driving in my country requires mastery of the horn to safely arrive at your destination. Loving the videos Alex! 👏👏
Absolutely ZERO hate but…..Nebraska isn’t “out west” lol. Stay safe and as a connoisseur of many things, I appreciate what it is that you do for a living. Be well
I have been waiting for a video about San Francisco? How did you do going through the area? Did you hit any bad weather leaving California? Hope all went well. Thank you for videos.
Some of the stuff by the sod house is pretty clearly left over from when it operated as a museum area, like the branches all laid up. Oh and I found it online the sod house is a period accurate recreation. Oh also, you do some really nice editing in your videos which except for when you eat or you're at some obvious cut point, that can't be easy.
Never had an espresso? IMO you have to really enjoy strong coffee and or be a hard core coffee drinker (there, I admit it). If I was a trucker (my dream), I would have always have an in my cup. Americano's are usually 3 or 4 shots of espresso and water. I drink mine black.
Your Garmin said Cheyenne pilot, you're in Wyoming, my friend, not Nebraska, that's most likely the Wyoming i80 corridor, one of the most dangerous sections of freeway in the country, especially for high profile vehicles, be careful
That animal skull at the end is sacred I guess in my culture kids aren’t supposed to see it idk why but it’s bad luck so the medicine man/woman would have it covered until it’s needed in a ceremony like a sweat or A sun dance
How do you clean your utensils and food dishes? You don't have a sink with hot water. How do you do that? I'm asking because I want to be a truck driver.
I always thought truckers were overweight, bearded rednecks who chewed tobacco and listened to country music. Nice to see something different for a change!
I wondered about this too..especially with all the shady brokers that could have someone transport something illegal and the driver wouldn't even know.
You make the best videos on Trucking. I have 2 questions, is the truck you drive permanently assigned to you? And how much did you make in your first year of trucking? Thank you
Yes it's permanently assigned to me. First year of trucking I'd say expect to make 45k-50k. The top end of the industry is probably 80k-90k once you get at least 1yr experience. Just make sure to keep a spotless driving record. Your driving record is your resume in this industry.
how hard is it to get the CDL i want to truck too but in europe i play lots of euro truck simulator 2 and it made me want to try trucking too like you do .
You went to the wrong little America they real one is the one is. Little America Wyoming has a bath tub and everything supper nice and the one in flagstaff Arizona is nice too
I bet if I mention making money and or returns, I get a bunch of bots recommending some investor that makes 400% in mere weeks. Glad to see you're moving up Alex, your channel is getting spammed....you've made it! Lol

🎶🎵🎶…..
I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin'
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read
If you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like makin' love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape
I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kinda mean
But me and my old lady
Had fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad
Yes, I like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh, it's you"
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew"
"That you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape"
If you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape
Yes, I like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
@@Jesse_m4265 escape, Rupert Holmes, ( Pina colada song)
Ohhh yes he has a fb scammed begging for money
Had a cookie warning
Thank you Alex for taking us on your journey with you with every delivery that you make it's really nice to see all the scenery
I almost fell asleep watching this video, it's not at all boring, it was just surprisingly relaxing
I opened the video to relax and maybe fall asleep too. His videos are relaxing.
Same, it’s not boring at all but I always end up falling asleep to his videos.

you crack me up "i'm probably in nebraska by now" then your garmin give you directions to somewhere in cheyenne wyoming! alex the geography major
Lol. Traveling all the time I lose track of where I am
I lose track where I am and what day it is......
Hey Alex, metal was "invented" around 5000 BC and widely used in tools and such from about 2000 BC.
Hello Alex, I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They are young warriors at the wheel of a truck. Congratulations and a big hug.

Love your videos, they are a fun pleasant thing to watch at the end of the day.
New channel idea. Exploring with Alex. Lol Loved it.
I love your exploration videos. Last time the bicycle teip in Texas now thw historic farm. 😊❤️
You jus moving! Living your life!! Love it 🔥
Delivery is 9am, I’ll be there around 330 so it will be late and need a new appointment. But LETS GO to the museum. 😂🤦🏽♂️
“Ah my gash😅”
Atleast we know why he's always late lol
Lol 😂
Bro he’s driving a huge truck it’s fine I rather have a slow driver than a sleepy dangerous one in the road
@@ernie734 na, dude is a bad driver. If he’s ALWAYS late he’s the problem.
Love the channel ....HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️
Fill everything buddy...Always top off..You never know..stay safe my friend

BTW, welcome to driving through the Midwest!!!
I was getting ready give him the same advise on Sun Glasses. Even if I am in D-11 Dozer or other equipment or in my Mechanic TK I wear them.
@@Houndini I have a prescription glasses that are polarized. I was dumb choosing a frame with nose pads. But, it makes the view perfect for driving.

Listen, I understand that I have a weird relationship with TH-cam.. lol. Please stop laughing at me…. 😋
Its okay, we all have our comfort youtubers.
You not alone
Great working happy holidays to you and your family
I’d love to just seat in the passenger seat of one of them going across country and just look out the window at everything
You're in Wyoming, just east of Laramie where I live on I-80. You'll be going to Cheyenne WY.
Hi Alex, really enjoy watching your videos. Your are very entertaining. Be safe. Rick
Bro what do you think about the Tesla Semi?
Man I really enjoy your videos, I have nothing to do with trucking, but you make it look so cool
Absolute foolishness
Stay ahead of the storms and stay safe!
It would be cool if you did a livestream ride along Q&A. I really like your content here in Chicago
This is my own thought on this one but I’m fairly certain that once his company saw that video, my guy, Alex, will be live streaming from the unemployment line. I could be wrong but, just my opinion. Cheers.
Would love that also not sure how safe that would be during driving time but an hour before bedtime to ask questions and chat would be great
@@bjchav4489 ya that’s true. I agree with that, like an hour or two before bedtime
I could not drive in these conditions without my polarized sunglasses
The kid doesn't use swear words.... ever. Shit, that's amazing!
Lol only when someone cuts me off in traffic. In big cities oh my gosh.
well watch the video carfeflly, you can hear a nice "fucking spots". love the content.
You got out of there on a good day I-80 got hammered today with a snow storm
That thing you saw that you said has a shovel is called a tiller. The string or rope from the tree might have been a trap that hunters used.
Awesome Alex thank you for sharing
I always love watching your videos it’s peaceful it seems in a truck I’m planing on becoming a driver hopefully
Snow and wind. Chilly winds
this is your creepiest video. like watching a horror film where the characters keep going to places they shouldn't be then meets Jason or that jeepers creepers character :D you are definitely different :D keep it up great watching!😬
Get a pair of polarized sun glasses. Enhance vision, comfort, safety, and prolong the onset of cataracts.
One of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for the content. Watching you from Alcalde New Mexico
I read about turning off exhaust brakes in low traction conditions, but not cruise control. I guess they are done for two different reasons in the same circumstances
Alex, why were you not gonna make your delivery appointment? Your company should have given you enough time to get it there
It sometimes baffles me that truck drivers in the US don't have to use their horn 😅 driving in my country requires mastery of the horn to safely arrive at your destination. Loving the videos Alex! 👏👏
what country u in
@@juskiiiiiii scam calls, spice and everything not so nice 🤣
India! I love India! ❤ So much to appreciate India for! All the amazing temples and wisdom!
Absolutely ZERO hate but…..Nebraska isn’t “out west” lol. Stay safe and as a connoisseur of many things, I appreciate what it is that you do for a living. Be well
Great video ✌️👋😊👍 thanks 👍✌️
I have been waiting for a video about San Francisco? How did you do going through the area? Did you hit any bad weather leaving California? Hope all went well. Thank you for videos.
The sod house was a common dwelling for homesteaders in the 1800's out west.
Some of the stuff by the sod house is pretty clearly left over from when it operated as a museum area, like the branches all laid up. Oh and I found it online the sod house is a period accurate recreation. Oh also, you do some really nice editing in your videos which except for when you eat or you're at some obvious cut point, that can't be easy.
29:30: It's a plow, Alex. A typical 'sod buster' plow.
What part of Cheyenne you at. I live like 20 mins out of there
hi Alex grate videos young man and stay safe out there
Thanks again always.
@ALEX THE TRUCKING GUY:
how often does someone do the "honk the horn" thing with his/her arm/ fist. 💪
📣📣📣
@@josaywhat meep meep
3:32 Little America, isn't that the truck stop on I80 in Wyoming?

What do you think is the best for navigation. Google maps or a GPS that you buy .
That animal skull at the end is sacred I guess in my culture kids aren’t supposed to see it idk why but it’s bad luck so the medicine man/woman would have it covered until it’s needed in a ceremony like a sweat or
A sun dance
As someone from the uk when we fill up we have to hold the pump gives me so much anxiety watching yanks just put the pump in and walk away 😂😂
They have clip whereas we have to hold it and pray lol
I don’t I just hold down a button to refuel my truck
There's a simple device in the pump handle that shuts itself off when tank is full
You said the company you work for has APUs on the trucks, so why do you have to run the truck when cooking?
How do you clean your utensils and food dishes? You don't have a sink with hot water. How do you do that? I'm asking because I want to be a truck driver.
Im in pa myself for my first ever load as a trucker
I always thought truckers were overweight, bearded rednecks who chewed tobacco and listened to country music. Nice to see something different for a change!
The truck stop were u was walking is like Texas chain saw massacre lol
I really enjoy watching your videos, I really enjoy you
Alex, I would just get something to eat at the truck stops instead of cooking in the truck!
You kind of confused me.
First you were in Nebraska heading to Illinois. Then you were in the mountains on your way to Wyoming. Almost got whip lash.
Your internal monologues cracks me up dude
You was on the Blair witch project 😂😂
Hey Alex, I enjoy your video❤️👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👍🏾
Current situation salt lake city I 80 eastbound all the way to Nabraska is closed
At 0:05, he doesn't know what state he's in. He's not in Nebraska, that's Wyoming.
Hey, I love your videos. I just have one question. Do you ever eat in the truckstop restaurants?
You are a truck driver, sunglasses should be a priority lol
I love your vids!!
Do you ever use the CB?
Tractors 🚜 30:54
45 mph with that light load ....be safe driver
I thought you were in Cali, did they sent you back east ?
23:40 that whole area seem scary if it was at night .ill feel like i was in a horror movie
Do you have TruckerPath downloaded on your phone? It helps plan your trip and finds truck stops along your route.
You need some shades Alex! Hurts my eyes seeing you in all these videos with no sunglasses
Open question to anyone who drives a tractor. Are u made aware of what exactly is in your trailer or are there loads u have no idea what is in them?
Sometimes you have no idea what is in the trailer, all they tell you is weight and number of pieces
I wondered about this too..especially with all the shady brokers that could have someone transport something illegal and the driver wouldn't even know.
I always knew what I was loaded with.
You make the best videos on Trucking. I have 2 questions, is the truck you drive permanently assigned to you? And how much did you make in your first year of trucking? Thank you

Bad thing is I live in Europe so there is no chance for me to live in America :(
Just come across the southern border.
@@allaboutroofing2 lol 😂
Where did you get your red microwave?
how hard is it to get the CDL i want to truck too but in europe i play lots of euro truck simulator 2 and it made me want to try trucking too like you do .
How often do you make it home?
You’re driving with the engine brake on. Going to mess up the engine like that.
Untrue. Engine brake doesn't activate until you release the accelerator and is at proper RPM.
You went to the wrong little America they real one is the one is. Little America Wyoming has a bath tub and everything supper nice and the one in flagstaff Arizona is nice too
Coffee is the elixir of the Gods
Why do you push the red parking brake in when you stip
Thank you all fine Alex, Bosco Goiânia Brasil
Yo Alex. Do you ever have a 'sit down' meal in a real (not TruckStop) restaurant?
No actually. I just cook in my truck. I feel awkward eating alone in a restaurant. It's kind of a sad sight but hey that's trucking
@Alexthetruckingguy did you ever come to Iowa because i saw one of your companies trucks
24:05 I'm getting Texas Chainsaw Massarce
Wow that was so neat to see
You need to get a good pair of sunglasses, you will thank yourself after wearing them a few days.
that visor keeps us from seeing, lol
Alex, your mentor Dave has moved on from his current trucking company CFI
I bet if I mention making money and or returns, I get a bunch of bots recommending some investor that makes 400% in mere weeks. Glad to see you're moving up Alex, your channel is getting spammed....you've made it! Lol
