Cool story Nick! I was a Lineman for 35 years been retired for two I’ve always love trucks a friend of mine has a small trucking company here in Florida “ just went through a hurricane “ he hauls beer from Albany Ga. to Ft. Myers and Pompano I go with him from time to time and drive when one of his drivers is off. Lot more to it than people realize. Love the channel! Keep the coal rolling bro!
i use to haul that beer for bruce dewey years ago, from miller, a company S&S bought his trailers and the rout
Oh nice!! That’s super cool! Thanks Edward and will do😎🤘🏻
The line work field is how I got into trucking as well! Got my class a cdls in lineman school and loved driving so much I quit that and started hauling heavy equipment.
@@sauciertransport I’m a Journeyman Lineman but have really wanted to do the trucking gig, just been curious on retirement and insurance on how to go about it 🤷. Love being behind the wheel of a big rig though
I started in the fields when I was 12yo with a '46 Chevy 1 1/2 ton, which we still have yet. Went on the road between our farms at 14yo, got my license at 16yo, started driving school bus at 18, drove milk semi at 19, bought my 1st truck at 23.
Oh nice! That’s so cool! That’s such a young age to start trucking!😎🙏
Crazy small world dude. I worked w Ridge at a lawn care company in Sioux Falls, he’s a great dude. Glad ur loving the life style. Stay safe man
That is!! Yeah I love him and his whole family!!😎🙌
Great life lessons Nick, I started at 16 I couldn't drive for hire so I was working for a second cousin bought a 78 IH 4300 hood I loved that truck. Keep up the great work bro be safe.🤙🇺🇸🤙
Oh ride on! That’s awesome! You as well Bill😎🙏
I really appreciate how open you were about all this. Most truckers only tell you about the good parts in these kind of videos. Congrats for making it man.
It’s best to be real! Thanks Edward I appreciate it😎🙌
A Beautiful Rig!!
My Family is out of N. Louisiana had a logging Co. I used to drive for them without a CDL at 14yrs old.
I was just running logs out to the road & handing it over.
Then I got laid off as an Electrician Helper many years later & while on Unemployment I gotta call asking if I'd like to become a Trucker?
I said, heck yeah but couldn't afford training.
My local College had a 10 month CDL Credited Course fully paid through a Federal Grant for those on Unemployment.
Yeah, it was long time training but well worth it.
Then I started with Crete & left because my buddy had a W900 Cherry Red & a Cherry Red 389 Long Nose Pete.
He asked if I wanted to make some real money by running his Pete up in the Dakota's from SE Texas area. I said yeah baby!
Just as I was well over a million miles with no Violations, citations or shutdowns. I had a Stroke that put me into SSI/DI Retirement.
Love watching these vids seeing the roads I used to run. Long way from S. Houston 🤟
If I could drive now? I'd be back up there or for Walmart with no headaches & $110k a year. All Companies are basically begging for clean record highly experienced drivers now days
Wish we could’ve met up while you were here in Vegas. I did hear you got to hang out with Steve Darnell on Saturday and I’m looking forward to the footage from that. Stay safe out there.
IKR! I’ll be back in November so we will have to link up then!! Yeah it’s going to be some good content forsure! Take it easy Lone Star😎🤘🏻
Switched to the dark side love it! Kenworth all the way!
You know it!!😎🤘🏻
You've had much better luck than me at trucking lol..but it's too bad you couldn't of made the lineman thing work..my nephew went to the school and he is killing it dude..im not lying..they had a job after a storm here in Ny..put in 17 hours a day and brought home over $10,000 in a week lol..on average he brings home like $3400 a week..it's frigging crazy..just wish I was young enough..but at least you have a badass truck dude..I'm jelly haha!
Oh wow he really is killing it!! Honestly I don’t regret it because everything happens for a reason and I’m happy where I’m at! It’s never too late to get in the game😎🙏

Thanks man!! Oh that’s super cool! Yeah it’s not for everyone!😎🙌
Damn dude, I literally did what you did buying your first truck lol. Just a couple weeks ago, bought it in the dark, and dumping money into it right now 🤦♂️
Dang!! Wish I would of posted this a while ago! Don’t worry man things will get better just have to keep moving😎🙏
@@NickWeber112 it’s all good man. Ironic how you listed off exactly what I did lol. 4500 in tires, 1800 in clutch work, brake valve, brake shoes, 2900 in water pump and coolant lines lol
@@austinmoffatt7878 yeah that is crazy!😂 well I hope it gets better my guy!!
I got into OTR driving by being a heavy duty diesel mechanic for the Government. When you work for the Government you are exempt from having a CDL as a diesel mechanic. After about 7-years of working for the Government I got laid off. When I applied for other diesel mechanic jobs they all said I have to have a CDL. I went to the unemployment state office, and got the state to pay for me to go to a truck driving school to get my CDL. By the way, I saw your rig at Art's car show.
Oh hell yeah that's what I'm talking about Nick. If I could give you any advice it would be enjoy the ride, trucking is an adventure. Everyone looks to find a wife and settle down or get a woman in the truck with them and you know start building a life with somebody and stuff like that and really the adventure is out here on the road enjoy it won't last
Couldn’t of said it any better!! Thanks Greg!! I appreciate you😎🙏
