    To most people that want to be negative and tell me my Pre -Trip was terrible. I performed Maintenance on my truck the Day before I recorded this video. If it’s such a big deal I can show you guys what a real pre-trip looks like in the next video.

      I drive a Chevy Sonic as my daily, it get 38 mpg which is important since my big truck sits 58 miles from my home and I have to drive to it daily. I do the same thing, park my little car in the space to hold it for my truck when I get back in the middle of the night. We park at a little diner.

    My dad use to drive. I remember he brung my brother and I one time and he left us inside the truck , inside a building, with no ac on. Im 37 and was probably about 25-30 yrs ago. He was hauling coils of steel to Murray Ohio in Lawrenceburg Tennessee. I still have a love for the smell of diesel. That is some of the best sleep I've ever had , in the bed of a truck.
    Edit: it was mid summer when he left us and we literally almost died.

Some are great and others suck. It’s a part of life. I’ll do what I can to accommodate them but I won’t hold them on a pedestal.

      Callahan Talks they have more work hours than any job and now they’re being denied working extra as well. The trucks are extremely expensive to maintain and it’s getting worse with these new unreliable semi trucks, and old trucks getting banned in some states. Considering all the money they have to put in, no, they don’t get much back. Company workers have it worst I think because they don’t make their own schedule, and get paid a lot less. In the end it pays off because they don’t wear down their own trucks but the freedom isn’t there. You also don’t get to come home often. They regularly take trips that last more than a month.
