Bro must be immune to the hazard and blinking sound
He loves them lol 😂
Hey Alex, Just wondering if the audio from 0:01 to 0:26 is supposed to be muted as there is no audio from that point. (Unless its me) Otherwise great video!
not just you same thing to me as well
Mine did this too
So did mine
Omaha isn’t too far from me! I live in Sioux Falls South Dakota 🤙🏾🖤
I love your videos I’ve been watching since you started TH-cam
Hey Alex, great seeing another video I'm trying to enjoy a much needed 34 and thank God for sunny weather! Since I have a general manager, I was in Wells Maine the other day. I'm so happy to be doing the job I was trained and hired for. I have a New Customer in Plaistow New Hampshire; I went off route to visit my mom's grave with flowers. She passed last June from cancer. My advice to people is treasure the ones you love while you still have them. then 10 months later my uncle. My uncle said wit and humor are your traits Alex, he was so right! I love being a trucker!
Those indicators on continuously would absolutely do my head in
I said the same thing like come on that blinker fluid going down quick from that lmaoo 😂
Sometimes it drives me crazy, too.
He has no brain, so there’s that. How he gets 500 miles SOLO from Walcott to Omaha hurts my brain…
Drivers out there today are in a new class by themselves. Things have really changed in 25 years. WTF is a 30 minute break and reset crap. This new breed could’ve never done what was done back in the day. No doubt their feelings would get hurt. Bigly
Can’t wait to see ya at the terminal Alex! Hope you liked I80! I’ve been there a many times! You’re the reason I went to GP
Good for you, even me I'm thinking about working for them, how do you like it so far ?
when you get screwed over you'll be like my 3 guys who said f*ck GP and are working for me, driving 2024 Kenworth T680 Next Gens. at 75 cents a mile!
It was great you meet you at the truck museum, thanks for inspiring me to get my cdl and make TH-cam videos!
Iowa 80 has over 900 parking spaces. The sign when you pull in says 900+ lol I love it there
Last time I was there 3 years ago it was 800
Is that the Nebraska Furniture Mart owned by Warren Buffet? I read about this store in his biography. Massive store
Blinkers at the gas pump wow 😂
I presume it is never a time to not be excited to get driving. Getting things dome early seems to me to be a positive thing and time off is the result of it. Less stress worrying about getting there.
If you were impressed with the World's Largest Truck Stop, you should have went inside the electronic section at Nebraska Furniture Mart. 🤯
It isn't 500 miles across Iowa, and Omaha is right at the IA/NE state line. Its less than 300 miles
he really has no idea
My favorite truck stop! ❤
You're in my neck of the woods there fellow driver, Nebraska Furniture Mart. Largest furniture mart in the U.S. Stay safe out there.
Great as always 👍👍👍
I didn’t know it was 500 miles from Walcott to Omaha
Yo love your vids 😊
How long do the batteries last on the electric APU when it’s 90+? I’m guessing not long and you’ll end up idling. I’m nervous about those over the traditional ThermalKings.
Hey Alex brother, how are you? But the video is beautiful, love from Bangladesh brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
I’m definitely impressed with how clean you are keeping your truck and different trailers and actually wiping off lights and reflective tape …try wiping the trailer rims too for that ultimate look 💪☝️👊
you just passed my truck. stayed there last night !!
Iowa 80 my friend
What’s your opinion on Yellow Freight bro ? Im sure you heard the closed down
What happened to the steering wheel cover?
He’s in a different truck since his broke down
Is there a reason why you stopped cooking in your videos? It was my favorite part! ❤🎉
I live near that truck stop just 20 miles away
Dang bro next time your near Omaha or going in nebraska stop by halsey ne. Super small town I mean 70 people tops. If you stop by would love to hangout for a bit. My ex step dad was a truck driver and he even kept going after chemo and radiation on his spine. He couldn't walk well but he could truck drive like a master. Miss him he passed away last year sadly cancer caught up to him
No one works on Sunday at that furniture store? You went back in time.
Hi there Alex. How are you have not watched you for a while what has chngdr in the American scene of trucking. I did notice one thing is that yo have a licking for Bens Rice with different flavours. It is a great dish and sometimes i even have one as a snack. Yes Mate i was so surprised to see you eating this product as it is very populare her in Aus as well. Know you have a day of and way to early but you are dammed if you dont and you kow the rest. Hope you find a fishing spot maybe search google when you have down time and keep a record as on route at times it is good to just wet a line and switch. of. Any how Alex you take care and keep trucking and seemsv like the Cascadia is still sering you well even though a little underpowerd at times. Enjoy your day, Aussie Bob.
I80, main st. USA
Another dose of Big rig Ray Romano
Kermit the frog.
They have everything there even a chiropractor
Ok ok I see that wrist bling blingin 🤑
I enjoy these videos
Hello suth American how are you be careful drive safe don't let the others look for you to look for them❤
Like the transparency showing your mistakes and keeping it real. But I'm not in the trade and am a bit confused in this case. Given all the stuff that can go wrong getting to receiver on time, wouldn't it make sense to hustle and get load to point B early, with a plan b of waiting nearby in event receiver won't take load early? Then if sometime did go wrong on route, GP Transco would have time to make other arrangements to get load delivered on time.
lol man he would never run his clocks out during the day.. every video that ive seen, he shuts down at 3pm which plenty of time left to get closer to the shipper or receiver, but he chooses to do the backwards way and run more miles in the morning to get there.. Im almost sure that his company came to him about his time management or about too.. he should drive local or regional with this "schedule" that he runs
@@DJMistaXclusive I've seen enough of his videos to understand why he shuts down ~3pm. He likes to park defensively and there's plenty of parking options at that time. As far as running out clock, there's other otr youtubers that seem to only run recaps (so nowhere close to running out daily clock) , yet they seem to push to get to receiver early. Hence my question about Alex's "mistake".
I want to be a trucker too
You need a CDL and a air brake endorsement which are two separate tests back to back
How you liking the Xbox Alex you finally getting a gaming console at least you don’t got to be bored anymore and you have something to do lol 😂😂
No tour of the truck stop. 😢
Audio missing..
Iowa 80 had 900 spots last I saw.
With the amount of stressing you do you are going to end up with an ulcer or having a stroke!
That’s not 500 miles from Iowa 80 to Omaha.
Bro food vlogs please ❤❤❤
This is a true definition of a steering wheel holder, grabs every lug nut on the rim why? Cleans the dot tape and the already clean lights why?? 😂😂 Like honest what is that gunna do?? Steering wheel holder 100 percent
Somewhere on your paperwork there's a phone number strart calling your customers rather than spend time guessing. Its not rocket science
If he calls them it makes it easy and less stressful. He doesn’t want that he needs the stress and difficulty to make content.
Does this dude know how to use a phone? He spends half the time being confused about where to go and the other half looking for truck stops to stop early for the day
And you mean you'll get a "load" not a "delivery"
You worry WAY too much about things that don't concern you!! Relax more and believe instructions you're given..b
Do they have a blinker and hazard delete?
Idk but he needs it
900 parking spots.
Hi ALex great to see you again my brother .
NFM
You mean load?
It's only 280 miles
It's august 6th, why are you just now uploading a video of you filmed this July 9h??? Makes no sence
I’m sure he’s filmed so much he has a backlog of videos
😂 Kids these days…. Used to go from Cali to Va and back in one week, non team driving…. And these kids are bragging about driving 500 miles per day, children.
It's only 286 miles from Walcott IA to Omaha NE. So where is the part you drove 500 miles?
In his head
He got lost.
That phone you’re always on actually makes phone calls to for directions.
If you haven’t noticed, it seems that you have a problem and dissatisfaction with every delivery location. Maybe it’s you and not the delivery locations, because they all can’t be wrong and so difficult to find. 😅
This man is the reason I said f it and finally got off my butt 2 get my cdl now all I have left is a few drives then my road test 🤞
I love your videos I’ve been watching since you started TH-cam
WoW ! ahead of schedule, Alex it shows how much you enjoy trucking, and we Love the videos. Next time how about a cooking video to break up your day. Thanks for always taking us along. 🥰🌟✌
2ND Channel "Big Rig Cooking With Alex "
I 80 is the best truckstop today...
Nah, kwik trips are always better and jubitz in Portland. I80 is just a hot piss dump
It's not 500 miles from I-80 truck stop to Omaha, only 286 miles
Yeah I thought about that too...
He might be trying to flex😂😂😂
Rounding up
A hair cut place, is called a barber shop.
Gen Z. 🙄
Captain Clickbait strikes again.
Cool! Have time to play with X Box
I80 has 900 parking spaces
My current record is 26 hours early.. unloaded and back on the road leaving 24 hours early. Made it back to the terminal for another load 3 hours before my drop appt 😂
Sounds like bull
Alex! I was thinking about you when I drove cross country last week(moving). Didn’t stop at that spot but we did stay in Omaha recently too
Love your stuff bud! Keep killing it
A good rest even after home time never hurts
800 parking spots
After Watching your videos for a few months I decided to go get my CDL. Now I'm out here on the road after months more of training doing it to. It's been a big change but I feel it's going to make life a lot better financially. Wishing I had done this at your age! Lol
How's it going for you I'm planning on getting my cdl but I keep hearing people complaining about how horrible it is
@dreamreaper428 it's got ups and downs, company I work for has a 2 month training process, just now getting paid for the miles I drive, looking into going to the contractor division. Unlike most companies that have contractors they help you with the truck and set up a bunch of things like a maintenance account to ensure you succeed, of course that all depends on how you drive your truck. I'm enjoying it so far though. I've seen all but 6 states, just in the training period. It's definitely a life adjustment being away from home.
Did you meet Warren in Omaha ? Give him my regards. Nebraska Furniture Mart is a Berkshire Hathaway company, bought from Mrs B, the Russian immigrant who built it from no where.
Idk why you want to stress yourself out and not call the receiver for exact directions. Unless it’s a pride thing, I would use truckerspath to avoid unknown traffic routes. Never have been steered wrong. I’m a trucker as well and understand the whole “I want to figure it out on my own” mentality, but I’m telling you this will save so many headaches.
Alex what happened to the Kenworth you wanted so badly. How come you are back in the Freaughtliner ? At least you have way more space and that is a bonus comppared to the KENNY. Is this still a long haul or all short drops daily for you. Aussie Bob.
Hi brother
I am your subscriber
I asking one question
Your company international truck driver need or hiring process on ?
Maybe they will send you to Possum's Lurch Mississippi.
Plus remember it also has a movie theater 🎥 too.
What camera headmount do you use?
Bro I was just there
I think you really deserve the Kenworth of gp it would be awesome you work really hard to earn one
You need more blinking juice, knowing you, you need an Airport to park.
Does GP transo hire nationwide or locally?
I enjoy watching your videos. I also watch other trucker youtuber such as: Ride with Dave, The joy of trucking, Ride with Jay, and Trucker josh. It gives me a different perspective of each driver of all ages and experience. And plus it enjoyable to watch.
If you gotta take a 34 hour reset then you don’t know how to run your clock, should never have to do a 34 ever 🫡
Or if you knew anything about gp you'd know they require a reset every weekend, don't speak your ignorance
@@truckercowboyed2638 Serious question......Are you Alex's lover? I see you here on his channel quite often. You get very defensive for him. Why else would you feel the need to interject on someone's comment to him? He's a big boy and should defend himself. It seems to bother you more than it bothers him when someone comments negatively on his videos.
@@jaepcam dude for real it’s hilarious.
