I’ve been a trucker for over 40 years. I’m now 64 years old and I have one more year before I retired. Loved my job and god bless all you truckers out there. 🙏🇺🇸😎🙌
He's a Prime driver. They train them well, but pay them much less than what they're worth. Notice the toilet trash can at 2:57. Each truck brings the company almost $1m / year in revenue, yet the driver gets less than $125K. And he has to shit in a bucket most days, and go without a shower. And spends less than 48 hours at home for every 3 weeks away from home. It's a dream life for someone that has no home base obligations like home ownership and a family to support. But that's not what the majority of people in the US are about.
@@samsynnn He's running under Prime's numbers, and Prime's name is on the door. He's a Prime driver, leasing the truck and trailer from Prime. He basically just bought a job. He has to do whatever they tell him to do, and he has to pay them for that privilege, or he gets to kick rocks. He can't take the truck and trailer to another carrier. He can't book his own loads. If he takes a week off, he still needs to make that lease payment. Legally, he's misclassified with the IRS as an independent contractor, because he's not really independent. He's a Prime driver.
Few years back i took a job with a friend where we drove two vehicles from new Jersey to Seattle, Washington. We used CBs while driving so we could communicate with each other and listen to truck drivers to gain road conditions and traffic information. This was before smart phones. The drive would be boring so he'd ask me to sing. I know hymns and opera and studied music so i sang those. Many truckers would tune in to hear me sing Amazing Grace and Jesus Loves Me and In the Garden as well as an Italian or French art song. We would meet some truckers at rest stops and were treated to dinner and i would sing Grace before the meal. It was four days. Ive won Opera competitions, sung lead roles and concerts and now have settled into a life of teaching and church singing. But my favorite audience by far wre those truck drivers who would tune in while on the road. God bless you and thank you for your chosen work. ❤️🎵
My son is an over the road trucker and I've gone with him on some of his trips. This video is absolutely on the money on what it's like to live out of a truck. Not easy; but I've found that this is the life these truckers desire at this point in their lives. Remember, EVERYTHING around you has been on a truck at one point. The materials used to build your house, your clothes, your food, your cleaning products,,, EVERYTHING! Without someone willing to haul that stuff around the country, we would only be as good as what we could grow in our own back yards.
My husband and I worked as truckers, longhaul. He drove the truck and I was his navigator. We carried food, water, clothes and our dog. Slept in a sleeper with sleeping bags. When we stopped for fuel, I emptied our trash, got ice and coffee. We had a way to heat up our food. Loved it!!!

I used to have dinner at truck stops so that I could socialize a bit before going to bed. I used to love that time of the evening in my cab, especially in the winter when the heater was running making the cab warm while I was reading or listening to the radio..
Nice video. You're a very well-organized individual and you get an A+ for cleanliness. One little tip for you: if you're going to store lettuce in a baggie like that, wrap a paper towel around it first. It'll stay fresher longer and it won't get slimy.
I love the care this guy takes to keep things clean! My Dad was a long haul truck driver for over 35 years. His bunk was just that, a 21" mattress behind a curtain. Period. The first trucks he drove didn't have air conditioning (it wasn't invented yet). He started driving around 1950. This driver has a nice setup and a good routine!
My dad was a trucker all his life so mad respect to all truckers out there. People have no idea that without truckers, the country would be in chaos. Stay safe out there. Glad to have found your channel. It seems you have a pretty good system going on there. I remember growing up and dropping my dad off at the truck stop for the shift driver change.
@@theodorhesselholthoejthat’s just not true. Elon musk fires 98% of twitter and it’s still up and running fine. ALOT of people have fake jobs, your comment is ignorant.
This is the first trucker life video I’ve ever come across. I share US Hwy 27 between South Bay and Clewiston FL with many truckers and have always wondered about life in their truck homes. This has given me new respect for y’all. I’m impressed with how neat, organized and clean you keep your space. Thank you for sharing!

I don’t use a skillet and propane stove. I have an air fryer oven. And microwave. I cook all the time in my truck too. Doing dishes though, I got a couple of collapsible camping sinks from Walmart, and heat water in microwave to do dishes. Then just dump it out the door. I keep a couple of gallon jugs to fill up at the truck stops for doing dishes.
My wife and I team drive and I’ve always told her I could never ever share a truck with a stranger just because of how organized and clean I have to have everything. I believe YOU might be the only one I could ever team with besides her. It’s so refreshing to see another driver out here besides myself that actually takes pride in their job and themselves. I’m sure you’ve seen first hand the trash that other that gives us all a bad reputation to the public. Stay safe out there !!
Really great to see you taking care of the rig and yourself by cooking for yourself instead of eating mystery food at a truck stop. Best to you and stay safe in all your travels.
Ive been on the road longer than I care to admit. I made various attempts at cooking in the truck but without running water (inside) and dealing with all the cooking "stuff" i decided it just wasn't worth it. Pluse, over time the residues would eventually add up on the interior and I wasn't having that. These days I only eat simple and or microwave basics in the truck and keep it as healthy as possible. For real nutrients, I stop at all the steakhouses I can as well as other restaurants and order extra meals to keep in the fridge and heat in the mic over the next days. I got Irritated with attempting to cook real dinners in a cab without water.
I’ve been a truck driver since 1977 and I plan on working until they pry me out of the truck. The first 36 years were OTR the last 10 have been line haul and home every night. I drive about 525 miles a day 5 days a week on a dedicated route. It feels like I’m semi retired now compared to living in the truck for weeks at a time. A lot of changes over the years. We used to have to pull on our coveralls and manually set up the tractor and trailer brakes as part of the pre trip inspection. We used to have to find a pay phone every morning by 0800 to check in with dispatch. We used to have to call places for directions before GPS. We used to run multiple log books and run illegal hours before ELD’s. Most of the changes have been positive but there are more and more trucks on the road with fewer and fewer parking spaces.
I drove for 15 years before I came home to work locally. Your routine reminds me of my routine, but I refused to run single sleeper units. The bottom bunk was my storage and cooking area. I slept up top. I do not miss that life for anything...
I was as well for 10 years and completely agree with you. Would have to spend most of my whopping 36 hrs off to be organized for the week ahead. Was hard to leave the trap but so thankful I did
After eating fast food or other foods of convenience while your driving, that burger tastes like a $40 steak! Driving the road is lonely and tough. I did it for a VERY short time (less than 30 days) and I knew immediately it wasn’t for me. I can see you’ve been at this for quite a while now. You’ve got a routine and everything is in its place. Hats off to you my friend. Keep on Trucking!
@@floseatyard8063 - It’s possible. Maybe riding along with someone who’s a driver. But to go out and spend the time and money it would take to get your CDL and then drive for a couple months just to see if you like it sounds counterproductive. Ive been driving for over 40 yrs (I’m getting ready to retire shortly) what are your concerns? I’s be happy to help if I can…
In certain areas I use a ratchet strap in between the doors to keep them more secure. Because most people don't know that there are very few different keys made for semis and many large companies will only have 2 or 3 different keys to fit every truck in their fleet. This actually helps sometimes if you lock your keys in your rig. If you're in a Peterbilt, just try to find someone else near you with another Peterbilt, or check with your DM to see if there's another company rig near you. I was able to help another driver (different company, same rig) with my key. He was in disbelief that it worked until I told him about the limited number of different keys.
Wow, that is really nice, not being familiar with long haul trucking was very impressed with all the ability to cook and clean. So organized and lots of cool gadgets!
Man, props for cooking for yourself instead of eating out. We're RVer's (love you truckers!) and do the same thing in our camper. We plan a menu for a couple of days, go grocery shopping, and then enjoy our favorite meals along the way. Great video and will look forward to more soon. Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL
I’ve driven across country a few times. Only one shot at a time. This time I was on the road for a month OTR. I could have used your video for ideas. Very cool. Blue water bottle in the side compartment. How simple but so useful. Thank you and Stay safe driver.
Thank you for all the driving you do to get the people what we need hats off to you I have had many trucker friends , and you my friend can cook me a burger any day Ty god bless you May he always keep you safe
Thanks for this peek at a segment of a trucker's life on the road. Hats off to all American truckers, who I consider to be the best and most professional on the planet, and thanks for the crucial work you do.
Wow. I had no idea. Hat’s off to you and your fellow truckers. I’ve worked $16M projects. But this was just as eloquently worked as one of my projects. Wow. Keep going and making North America better. Thank you.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel! I've driven across the country four times, but that was in a car with the luxury of hotel rooms & Air Bnbs....I love small,.cozy spaces and am very neat and organized, so I could appreciate every aspect of this video! I can't imagine how challenging being an OTR driver is, but I'm happy you managed to find some ways to cope and be comfortable!
man so much work involved to cook your own meals- I applaud you. I bet there always a devil on one shoulder whispering “ just eat out, just eat fast food” good for you
Tough life for these “Knights of the Road” . These guys don’t get the credit they deserve for the service they provide. May God keep you all safe and your family’s well.
Hey brotha, I like a mix of narrated and non narrated. By all of your instructions, I know a lot of what a pre trip entails, how to put the brakes on when you stop, what to expect at a truck wash and taking breaks and reset. This video was another great one. I look forward to seeing many more.
Been driving 26 years 20 of those OTR i love it ...the 6 years off the road i drove local..hated it..had a boss that was always up my ass..telling me to do stupid stuff...not any more..make my own decisions..and it working for me
That guy is one of the few I’ve known that actually takes the time to clean everything up and even make sure all dust,dirt and debris is cleaned and swept out of his truck, even brushes his teeth! Lived with a trucker who worked hard but his excuse was “ I don’t remember to brush my teeth” I’m to busy! Eww!
You definitely have figured out what you need to have all the comforts of home while you’re on the road.I admire how you keep your living area clean. I have watched some OTR truckers from Brazil, they have all of their kitchen needs under the trailer which works great for them. Keep up the good work and stay safe . Thank you
Great video; thanks! Just an FYI, you can clean all dishes, flatware, pots/pans just by spraying them with a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water, and drying with paper towel. That way you don’t need to use so much water or get your hands cold if the water is real cold. I’ve seen plenty of nomads do it in their vehicles. Good truckin’ down the road!
That's a great idea with the water container in ur tool box. I've been out here almost 10 years doing otr.. never thought of that. I use wet wipes and hand sanitizer. Since I'm a solo driver like u I just drop my bunk bed down and use it for storage. I store a minimum of 5 gallons of fresh water at all times.i usually stay out 8 to 12 weeks and go home for 10 to 14 days.
Wish I had that type of set up when I was driving. Unfortunately I drove with another driver for Starnes out of Whittier Calif. We picked up produce and dropped the Trailer at the Canadian Border (New York) then drove Steele Cable back. Was driving a 16 speed road ranger White Cabover. Right a road camode. We never stopped except to fuel up and that's when it was time to grab a bite. One drove and the other attempted to sleep while being bounced around in the back. And is that an automatic ? I used to envy those driving a nice long nose trucks, they are so much smoother.
you're so clean, neat and organised. I like how you are eating well and trying to stay away from fast food. Travel well! One thing, careful of which vape, some have fake oils for flavoring, that melt when hot but solidify in your lungs.
Hi Rex, great video buddy. I’m based in the UK and truck over here. Interesting to see how the Americans do it across the bond I guess. Keep up the good work mate 👍
I was a carny for a good chunk of my misspent youth. Lived in a variety of small mobile dwellings. That's a pretty nice setup. Of course I kind of traveled in ongoing party mode for seven years.
I’ve been a trucker for over 40 years. I’m now 64 years old and I have one more year before I retired. Loved my job and god bless all you truckers out there. 🙏🇺🇸😎🙌

@@floseatyard8063 - It’s possible.
Maybe riding along with someone who’s a driver.

In certain areas I use a ratchet strap in between the doors to keep them more secure. Because most people don't know that there are very few different keys made for semis and many large companies will only have 2 or 3 different keys to fit every truck in their fleet.
This actually helps sometimes if you lock your keys in your rig. If you're in a Peterbilt, just try to find someone else near you with another Peterbilt, or check with your DM to see if there's another company rig near you.
I was able to help another driver (different company, same rig) with my key. He was in disbelief that it worked until I told him about the limited number of different keys.

I can't imagine how challenging being an OTR driver is, but I'm happy you managed to find some ways to cope and be comfortable!
man so much work involved to cook your own meals- I applaud you. I bet there always a devil on one shoulder whispering “ just eat out, just eat fast food” good for you
Tough life for these “Knights of the Road” . These guys don’t get the credit they deserve for the service they provide. May God keep you all safe and your family’s well.
Where are your country brother ?

Hey brotha, I like a mix of narrated and non narrated. By all of your instructions, I know a lot of what a pre trip entails, how to put the brakes on when you stop, what to expect at a truck wash and taking breaks and reset. This video was another great one. I look forward to seeing many more.
Sometimes u just have to take a deep breath and just look out the window and say it's all good, thank u.
OMG - your like me -- very nice Rig -- very nice set up -- and your a very Neat Person -- keep on keeping ON.
Serious respect to truckers. Thank you for ehat you do to keep our lives moving forward ❤
i am impressed how neat and tidy you are, my husband is like you, i like things clean, but sometimes i am messy.
Been driving 26 years 20 of those OTR i love it ...the 6 years off the road i drove local..hated it..had a boss that was always up my ass..telling me to do stupid stuff...not any more..make my own decisions..and it working for me
I applaud you for the cleanliness of your rig. I see so many OTR trucks looking like rolling trash cans.
That guy is one of the few I’ve known that actually takes the time to clean everything up and even make sure all dust,dirt and debris is cleaned and swept out of his truck, even brushes his teeth! Lived with a trucker who worked hard but his excuse was “ I don’t remember to brush my teeth” I’m to busy! Eww!
Talk about ingenuity! This is amazing. Shout-out to all the truckers on the road!
Thanks for sharing with us! It’s like a camping adventure, but for you I’m sure it’s just a routine. Be safe.
You definitely have figured out what you need to have all the comforts of home while you’re on the road.I admire how you keep your living area
clean. I have watched some OTR truckers from Brazil, they have all of their kitchen needs under the trailer which works great for them.
Keep up the good work and stay safe .
Thank you
Organisation is next level satisfying!
This was incredible to see. Thank you. God Bless you and all our truckers
Recently i got my truck license, and for sure this is the life i always wanted❤
Waba laba dub dub !!! Nice to see R & M fan 😊
I love the air cleaning
Great Job Rex! I've never seen a video like this before. Thanks So Much For All That You Do! Stay Safe! ❤❤
Much respect, there's alot going on in a tight space.
Great video; thanks! Just an FYI, you can clean all dishes, flatware, pots/pans just by spraying them with a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water, and drying with paper towel. That way you don’t need to use so much water or get your hands cold if the water is real cold. I’ve seen plenty of nomads do it in their vehicles. Good truckin’ down the road!
Major respect to you bro. Thats not an easy life. I felt guilty watching this from the comfort of my own bed at home.
WOW just WOW you have given me a whole new perspective and respect for what you do and how you have to live to achieve that!
My husband and I were otr for years and watching all the "van lifers" living on the road like it's fun really crack me up. 😂
It is fun though
That's a great idea with the water container in ur tool box. I've been out here almost 10 years doing otr.. never thought of that. I use wet wipes and hand sanitizer. Since I'm a solo driver like u I just drop my bunk bed down and use it for storage. I store a minimum of 5 gallons of fresh water at all times.i usually stay out 8 to 12 weeks and go home for 10 to 14 days.
Well done!! 💐 You are extraordinary tidy person.Everything is clean and in order. Greetings from Finland ❤🇫🇮🌞
My childhood dreamzzz...to be the trucks driver/pilot.....god bless you man...
Wish I had that type of set up when I was driving. Unfortunately I drove with another driver for Starnes out of Whittier
Calif. We picked up produce and dropped the Trailer at the Canadian Border (New York) then drove Steele Cable back.
Was driving a 16 speed road ranger White Cabover. Right a road camode. We never stopped except to fuel up and
that's when it was time to grab a bite. One drove and the other attempted to sleep while being bounced around in the
back. And is that an automatic ? I used to envy those driving a nice long nose trucks, they are so much smoother.
I take my hat off to this guy keeping everything so clean and organized.
Cool video and love the sox...stay safe out there
❤💪👑
See, this is why I never stop learning from fellow drivers. That water in the sidebox is genius. Be safe, bro.
ASMR Type thing mmm I don’t know if love it or hated it man we need to hear you 😂😂 10/10 Vid
The way you used the water very impressive save water save life❤❤❤
I’ve never known any truckers nor seen any videos. This is super impressive. Be safe out there, lots of idiots on the road.
Loving the outside water sink idea ❤
That’s was awesome, improvising and adapting on cooking your food. ✌🏾👊🏾😎
you're so clean, neat and organised. I like how you are eating well and trying to stay away from fast food. Travel well! One thing, careful of which vape, some have fake oils for flavoring, that melt when hot but solidify in your lungs.
A simple life but a good life
Thanks for this share instant
He keeps everthing so nice snd clean. I am thankful for every truck driver to deliver things for us to have.
Im so ready to go OTR soon. I leave in a week to start my first driving job. It seems so peaceful.
Fascinating. I admire how well organized you are. Happy trails~! Safe travels~!
All the respect in the world. No amount of money could get me to live like that. Nope, no way. I appreciate what you guys do.
I always wondered how y'all washed dishes and pans. Thanks for showing us your routine after you shut down.
The best trucker video on TH-cam Fantastic video Rex.
Hi Rex, great video buddy. I’m based in the UK and truck over here. Interesting to see how the Americans do it across the bond I guess. Keep up the good work mate 👍
I was a carny for a good chunk of my misspent youth. Lived in a variety of small mobile dwellings. That's a pretty nice setup. Of course I kind of traveled in ongoing party mode for seven years.
Perfect vid. Perfectly explained Rex! Because of you I got my tanker endorsement fyi 😎 . Be safe brother.
thank you for sharing your life and for getting stuff where it needs to go! you're the backbone of our country!
