Back in the 90’s when I was still a fairly new driver, I was heading south on 75 and had just made it through Detroit when I blew a radiator hose and lost all my coolant. This was before cell phones so I was kinda stuck on the side of the road. One of these Reliable large cars pull up behind me and the driver asked if I needed some help. I told him what happened and he said “come on, I’ll take ya down to the Detroiter truck stop and we’ll see if you can get a new hose. I got what I needed and told the driver how much I appreciated the ride and the help and that I’d call a cab to take me back to my truck. He said oh don’t do that. Come on I’ll take ya back to your truck. He drove north to the exit past where I was parked, turned that big rig around in a Kroger parking lot and then proceeded to help me splice the old hose and fill up my radiator. I offered to pay him for his time and he wouldn’t even consider it. We shook hands and he went on his way. In the past 25+ years, I have yet to run into him anywhere. I wish I had got his name. He was driving a long hood Pete with one of the giant sleepers and I recall his truck was the first I had seen with hardwood floors. I’d love to know who he is and if he happens to still be out on the road I’d love to buy him dinner. Just a fantastic human being
This is so nice!!!!! What a great story, thank you for sharing. Our drivers are what make our company so great.
Live down the road from the Detroiter truck stop!
This is a great story, and a true trucker. Not what is known as a cowboy in Australia. Hope you do catch up with him one day. Stay safe out there and keep the shiny side up.
So I guess you are the guy from and in that nice story 😊@williamyekin8639
That's old school trucker
why do truckers always look like truckers
Lol I dunno man why do ducks always look like ducks
Because they’re truckers duuuh you from Floriduuuuh??
Lol
Why do Kung fu masters, look like Kung fu masters
I think it's maybe because they're truckers?
Rick seems like a good guy and he’s happy in his job. We need more Rick’s.
So say we all!
& who R u?
We need more better places to work as well!!!
Yeah totally - seemed very happy to be there and seemed a nice guy. We need more chilled big rig drivers.
These guys are the backbone of America they drive heavy dangerous trucks so we can have the amenities and society we have. I’m glad they’re getting a little bit of the respect. They deserve that’s far overdue.
The most impressive thing here is how much respect he has for his job and employer. Yall must treat them right.
That's because he is fairly new to the job, give it a few years. Lol I'm just joking around, he is lucky to have such a great job. Not too many of those anymore. Plus since he owns his own house on wheels he's probably banking too.
Notice the name of the uploader? Of course hes respectful or he would be unemployed.
Having a shower in the cab is THE MOST convenient part of that entire truck.
Are reliable the owner of reliable transport John Ledford Senior well I'll say hi to him you want a new one or you going to yeah let me know yeah we'll find will finance it for you hey okay Delon yeah I'll buy it from you Michael trucks how many miles you got on that now well yeah it takes about 6 to 8 weeks yeah how about 11:20 here in last 2 weeks yeah it's a yeah I'm very nice lady yeah pretty nice deal though yeah just John Ledford Senior if somebody's not doing something yeah and you don't feel let me know better not for sale her name is Karen
I'm disappointed that he didn't show the bathroom
@@ItsMeYourRealDadperhaps had a messy dump earlier. Needs to scrub that pan😂😂😂
@@ItsMeYourRealDad yeah, that's one of the main 'money shots' of these vids!
@@ItsMeYourRealDadprobs caught a body lol
This man is a natural in front of the camera. He’s really an excellent host. Well done.
Good men like Rick are rare and it's nice to see him happy and well taken care of. I'm glad he's getting what he wants. Truckers like him are invaluable to society.
Very well said. I’m a white collar yuppie that can’t relate to Rick’s life or profession, but damnit I appreciate his kind demeanor and pride in his work.
I really enjoyed this video. I really liked seeing a hard working humble man be so proud of his job and his rig and taking the time to give us a tour.
So true! He’s a really good guy and we’re fortunate to have him on our team.
@@ReliableCarriershopefully your company also provides him with enough PTO to get some time out of the truck. Employers that romance, their employees have employees that romance your customers. It’s a win win win!!
Y’all protect this man/employee at all costs. We need more Ricks!
Ladies and gentlemen, an honest man on his grind for his family. God bless from Japan.
Talk about a refreshing video. No clue how this popped on my feed, but sure glad I got to see a dude happy with his job and appreciative of it all.
Same! I’m a white collar yuppie that watches videos of fart jokes and pretentious podcasts on TH-cam. This is the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam in a long while.
I've told my friends and family,....no trucks,....no nothing. Trucks and all of the great drivers deliver everything that we need, want and must have. No trucks and drivers, no gas, no food, no everything that we need and use. God Bless the truckers. Keep them safe and thank them
Pretty cool rig but what im impressed by is how happy he seems with his job and employer. Must be a well run organization and they probably pay well too. Great to see!
seems like a nice guy which is the most important thing. How many guys are looking forward to the moment they can take their wives on the job. You have my respect sir.
The mans humility is Gold. As they say ' An idle mind is the devils workshop'- two hands
on the wheel brother, love your work!!
Beautiful truck!!
The world needs more people like you
I literally couldn't imagine someone looking more like a truck driver than this guy
The world needs more Rick's.
Awesome!! This man worked hard for this achievement. How wonderful for him!
I love how proud he is of his truck. And how hard he worked to gain the experience to get hired with reliable. A pros pro!
Congratulations on all of your success.
Thank you for taking time out to share your passion with us.
Thank you for keeping America moving. Best to you and your wife! Be safe out there on the roads
What I really like about these videos, is that this company puts the spotlight on the life of its employees! This instead of the service the company provides.
Great to see people being respected in this way!
You got yourself a new subscriber!
A great, wholesome video. We need more Rick's in the world! What a champion.
My best friend drove for Reliable. He loves trains and had a train nick-name they would refer to him by.
I use to ride with him from time to time, I'm a non-trucker.......but Reliable is an impressive outfit.
I wish Reliable Carriers, much success and all their drivers, the protection and safety the good lord can provide.
Thank you! 🧡
What a wonderful guy! You can see and hesr the joy and pride he has in drivinf that truck! I hope him and his wife get to see all kinds of cool things when she retires and goes out on the road with him!
The European mind can’t comprehend this kind of elegance.
honestly i had no idea this optimus prime was real
lol
Y'all can thank Rick for getting everything you own to your destination! Thanks Rick!
As someone who was a drivers-mate for a while in the UK... This blows my mind. There was me thinking I had it good being in a cab with beds. My god this is awesome!
Being from the UK I have NEVER seen anything like this on a truck before. I'm amazed. Americans always do things bigger and better (sometimes🤣).
So what you hauling today...... Well 10 cars and litterally the kitchen sink!!. What a machine!
My grandpa would've loved that truck. He was President of the Louisiana Trucking Association back in the 80's and 90's. His name was Joe or Joseph Jeanson.
Never thought I’d be watching a video like this, but Rick gives me hope. Man! If the whole world was like Rick it would be a paradise
I work for an OEM and we use Reliable for all our important vehicle moves. I’ve always wondered what the sleeper cabs looked like inside so thanks for sharing. Very impressive and on par with a well-equipped motor home.
God bless Rick!! He seems like such an awesome person who also loves his job. I'm so happy for him that after many years he got the job he worked towards and wanted for so long. Hey employers, see what happens when you take care of your people! Reliable does it right!
AWESOME RIG !!! * Truckers are the backbone of our economy !!!
I can only imagine the absolute carnage that would be caused driving this on UK roads 😂
Imagine that on the M6 heading south during the Monday morning commute, just pulling out of the Charnock Richard Services and joining the flow :)
They haul some nice cars and they haul them in beautiful trucks. What an organization that provides a service that’s first class!!
Nothing says cheap like orange.
@@Look_What_You_Did nothing says empty woman like a woman covered in a 2 inch layer of make-up to hide your deep insecurities 😂
I drove for over 30 yrs and never drove a beautiful truck like that awesome ❤
Surprisingly nice mobile home. And he seems like a nice and pleasant person.
What a cool truck! So glad this gentleman has some comfort on those long hauls. Thank you truckers! Lifeblood of America, you and the Train operators!
Thankful for all of the truckers like Rick that keep this country running!
What a wholesome human being. I hope everything works out well for you.
Im a bit of a loner with a cabin in the woods and this truck gives me the same feeling looking at this video and makes me want to be a truck driver 👍
I've seen these trucks all the time, never paid much attention to them. UNTIL THIS VIDEO POPPED UP!! This guy and company look like good people.
This guys a freaking American hero. Hell yeah. Thank you!
That cab and sleeper is roomier and nicer than a lot of NYC apartments! Rick is awesome. I really like his personality and his love for his job and truck!
if you know, you know....THIS is the kind of guy you want hauling for you! Someone who is knowledgeable, experienced, and has fun doing the job! Make sure you all learn to flash your lights to let these guys change lanes in front of you on the freeway, they may even blink their lights to thank you!
That guy seems cool as hell just a nice guy!!!
What a super endorsement of what seems like a pretty neat company. Encouraged enthusiasm is easy to spot. Rick shared not only his personal space but a hint as to what sort of man he is. I'm super pleased to see this opportunity working so well for him and his wife. Way to go Rick! Stay safe!
Man, he is flexing. It’s like a full-size luxury RV!
Good for you! It's nice to see someone enjoy what they do
Nice guy ! All the best for him
Incredible truck. I can imagine how many miles you do across America. Safe truckin fella from 🇬🇧.
This man is a natural in front of the camera
One nice thing about Rick having his own 'camper' are (2) things: (1) less cost spent on motel rooms and whatnot when he's traveling; and, (2) his 'camper' is safe and clean that's custom to him; he doesn't have to worry too much about someone breaking into a motel room that he has no control over - with his 'camper', he does. A happy trucker is a safe trucker.
We don't have this kind of sleeper here in the UK. It makes trucking so much better. Great video, thanks.
i think its to do with the tight turns on b roads and the length restrictions including trailers. I"m no expert but i think that would be why Im from scotland btw so it defo wouldnt work around here but maybe on m roads
@@BuckfastTonicyup, these type of long nose semi trucks are too big for European roads. That's why most European trucks are cabover.
It’s American vs European trucking regulations. Used to be be same.. overall length of the consist.. which is why you had cabovers in the US in the 60s and 70s. Now it’s just the trailer which means that sleepers and long noses don’t need to be counted.
And sleepers are essential for the distances American truckers drive and the long nose improves quietness, vibration, and safety.
You still see cab overs in the US but they are for short distance inner city jobs.
@@calvinnickel9995 some EU truckers also are away from home for weeks at a time... nothing to do with distance for us, since 2000 miles a week isnt that much... but more of the fact that the bosses make more money if you sleep in the cab so you can work more
@@dannyallroundsounds like we take trucker safety more seriously.
Damn! I just came across this Video and couldn’t stop watching! That is one BADASS rig!! I’ve never seen one like that before! And Rick seems like a really cool down to earth dude!
That truck is bigger than my first flat!
When you enjoy going to work and doing what you do then it doesn't feel like work, Thanks for tour inside that monster :)
now thats a southern gentleman, such a nice fella.
nice rig. cool trucker. i guess a good company with staff so happy
That is the sweetest living area I have ever seen in a truck, thank you for showing it
God bless this man on the road.
Would love to sit down across from Rick at his favorite stop on the road and just listen to all his stories. Such a genuine, gentle, and humble guy. I hope his wife can retire like he mentioned because the way he lit up just talking about her makes me think nothing would bring him more joy than having her by his side on the road. The woman he loves and a job he loves. What more could anyone ask for?
Any company would be proud to have this gentleman represent them..
In the past I did deal with car haulers everyone was nice. I have never seen an enclosed trailers before and the inside is very nice. If I was lost and saw a car hauler I knew I could get the help I needed. I miss those guys they were like family. This guy is a rare find not many out there. So, stay safe, warm/cool, and blessings.
Stay safe on the road. We will be going thru some difficult times. Your job is not easy. Without out truckers we wouldn’t have our products. Thank you
That's a nice ride. The W900's are a great truck. I drove for 40 years. Back in the 90's I hauled cars for almost four years.
I hauled 10 cars but it wasn't an enclosed trailer. I loved hauling cars but being recently married at the time, and my son
just being born, it was time to stay closer to home...
I remember seeing Reliable trucks running down the road over the years, and it seemed like the trucks were always nice.
The condo on Ricks truck would be really nice. So much nicer than being crammed into a 36 inch sleeper and having
to shower in truck stops or motels.
Gosh, I've not seen anything like it. So glad you stuck with it and got the job.
Me & husband watch TH-cam befowe go to sleep.
Well, we’ve just decided to cancel our dream of going Opal hunting in Australia in favour of coming to America & working for Reliable!
What fantastic trucks, the staff & truckers & everything about this company seem absolutely wonderful.
Not often you see workers enjoying their jobs so much. Just shows if you manage a company well & look after your staff you'll rewarded.
Well done Reliable.
Stay away.
Huge respect to guys like Rick! The Heartbeat of America and the free world! Please let them merge when they signal on the highways and by ways
Thank you.. Reliable just in last two weeks transported a Corvette from Scottsdale Az to Georgetown Tx for me. Great job by the driver. May 2024..
Thank you very much for your business!
Rick is proof that hard work pays off don't expect to leave driving school and get a vehicle like that off the get go, good work pays off
Really nice guy, he knows what he likes! Very nice. I really good video!
Canton Ohio; grew up there born in 1950. Miss the old haunts. Nice 'home-away-from-home'. Stay safe be happy!
Thanks for the tour of your home-on-wheels, Rick.
All I can say is WOW!! Thank you for the tour. Happy trails.👍
When enjoy what you do it shows,, that's a luxurious mini home
I love getting the hazard lights when I let truckers over on the freeway. Makes me feel like a part of the team 😎
Nice ride!! Enjoy!! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!!
The Kenworth Truck, is one of the most beautiful truck in the world.
Dudes living his best life. Nice rig man
This genuinely looks like a awesome job! I could appreciate a man who loves his work!
Thanks, Rick! Sweet rig and amazing job/ company!
Thank you for sharing your incredible cab and sleeper, Sir. All credit to you for achieving your dream job, Rick. May you have many miles of safe trucking ahead 🤘
Man not a truck driver at all. But the integrity and genuineness of Rick makes me want to do better in the industry I work in. God bless you sir! More life and success to you and yours ❤️
Thanks mate awesome tour magic accomodation ! Hi from New Zealand .
You guys have awesome trucks! It’s great to see the Reliable carriers at work bring in our cars from NJ! Always a cool sight!
Outstanding company, they picked up my Porsche 911 from the dock in LA when I shipped it from Hawaii and they hauled it to Florida. Top notch service.
Thank you very much for your business 🙏 Mahalo!
Thats a happy driver kudos to y'all
All right! Nice run down and a great thumbs up for Reliable!
