    The best part of this channel is your character. I believe most of us would continue to support no matter what you decided to do.

    Got me in my feels brother. Choked up and a little teary eyed like I’m losing a best friend. I pray that your new adventure and endeavors are full of joy and blessed by the grace of God.

    Ain’t no one on their deathbed ever said I wish I could do one more delivery. Time is the only currency that cannot be replenished. God bless you brother, you’re doing the right thing.

    Just came across this video and really put me in my feels. I was just terminated from job today unexpectedly. While I am still upset over it, I'm also happy now I have some time to spend with my wife and niece. Your video gave me some hope that better things are ahead for me. You definitely earned yourself a new subscriber, loved the Bible verse at the end. Look forward to your next video. You definitely made the right decision.

    Life is too short to spend it chasing a dollar. We gotta appreciate the moments as they come. I just subbed now because of this video. Never seen your channel before . Keep up the great work and make sure you enjoy every moment of existence because we’re very limited on it.

    2 things of change.
    1- find the job you love and you'll never have to work a day I your life.
    2- if you cannot direct the winds, you can adjust your sails. I worked for the usps and thought I hit my dream job but was hectic, long long hours only having to do it again and again 6 days a week 14 hours days.. took my life away from me and my family. Respect it's for the singles and no children type job to start then go long run.. but I'm in my 50s and it made me think about well being for me and my tribe. So best of luck with you and new path bro. You did right.

  • @GELO-2023
    @GELO-2023 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I did the same. This is my last week of OTR for the same reason. You are just spending your life on the road and realizing that the money are not the first thing in your life.

    My actual first time seeing your channel and dude I TOTALLY SUPPORT YOUR TRANSITION. Since I bought my truck my hobbies (vintage motorcycle repairs, small engine repairs, hitting the gym) are bygone. I love what I do but damn it's at a cost. I wish you and your family well sir.

    Just ran into your channel here for the first time describing your last day driving for this company. Going to go back to being a mechanic and spending more time with your kids. Passion is something that a lot of people do not have and I commend you for following that passion. I’ll celebrate with you on your new path in life. We have such a short time on this earth so spend it with the family, friends and meet some new friends along the way. I’ll subscribe to your channel so I can follow you. So show us that passion.
    Thanks for sharing

    I was a little sad at the beginning and then I listen to your reasons why and I think it’s a very good move for you because you get to follow your passion spend quality time with your family and kids and teach them everything at the same time that’s a win-win in my book all of it

    I’ve been in and out of trucking for the last 42 years. I always keep coming back for more. The only difference is I truck because I want to not have to. Bought a old wore out 379 and rebuilt it front to back and work when I want. Good luck on your next venture.

    Goodluck on the new endeavor. You trucked first class all the way with dedication and pride no dought. But there comes a time when a new calling grabs us and it's onward to the next chapter in life. I just left 25 years of firefighting behind and being home on a regular schedule to enjoy with family is everything. Everything ya said hit home with me. So I'm staying tuned in and wish you happiness, that's what we all deserve. Peace and Grease.

    I have really gotten into your channel over the last few weeks. We have done a lot of similar mods to out trucks. I have a 2000 Kenworth long hood. Ever since I watched your sleeper video I have been searching hard for an old sleeper. I haul Utility poles from Or to Nv and it would save me about $1300.00 a week in motels. Anyway good luck on your new adventure, and I am excited to see what you have in store for the channel.

    I too hit an BMW in my first and only year OTR . I'm going back to trucking after an 20 year hiatus (disability) ; had all my knuckles on right hand , both knees and hips replaced , soo excited about my future . Although more surgeries in the future . I'll keep you informed in the future . Haven't ever watched you before but I think I'll subscribe even though I'm in Florida as I think you'll be somewhat relatable to me . Hope to have some land in the future , maybe a pet bull and do some hunting along with owning my first boat so maybe some deep water fishing . We'll see !

    As a former steel hauler grinding 80 hour weeks trucking from 18-27 years old and still running family buisness when Dad got sick from cancer & then making a switch to running buisness and taking it over when he passed away I couldent be happier, always got the itch but now get too enjoy it as a hobby compared to a job. Time is worth everything & trucking consumes you & leaves you no time. Cheers

    You're not alone in winter driving. It used to not bother me. However, knowing one wrong move or one bad storm hauling 140,000 lbs gross could mean my life or someone else's is getting old. I'd rather park the truck for the winter.
