When driving in fog, I like to find myself a blocker ... let someone who is going a similar speed pass you and let them get, whatever it is, 100, 200 feet in front of you... so you can still see their running lights ... and just follow them ... if trouble comes up ahead, their brake lights will come on. Extends your safety range.
Tiki my guy!!! Good content, congrats on joining the Schneider team. I've been driving for little over 11 yrs. 5 are with Schneider which I'm still currently with. I'm OTR right now. You'll get more drop & hooks as the keep racking in those weeks of driving and get morecomfortable. Keep up the good work. See you out there on the road or OC's
Thank you Marc!! I'm glad you enjoy the videos! And thanks for the warm welcoming, I'm excited for my future progress with Schneider! And good to know I'll be getting more drop and hooks, it's honestly a lot less stressful for me than trying to meet that appointment for that live load/unload! I'll more than likely run into you at one of the OC's one of these days. Stay safe out there Marc!
I don’t know about semi but in a school bus my scariest moment was in Alaska the day after a heavy rain that left a 1-2 inch sheet of ice on the road. Full with kids on board
“ yo yo yoooo “ omfg bro got damn you funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😂😂😂 please keep the vlogs coming bro & I see yo subs going up fast. I make 20 next month but next feb I’ll be 21 so really I’m just learning all I can now before I actually start. Thank you my guy and God bless you bro for real.
Worst driving conditions? Granted this was in a car but the scariest driving I have ever experienced was in a blizzard. Visibility was probably 10 feet in front of me and I was probably driving around 30 mph at most on the highways and far slower during certain stretches. I was actually leading the pack on the road at those speeds. Turned my 3.5 hour trip into a 9+ hour trip and I was never more thankful to get home and off the road. Also, would just like to add, I've been watching your videos and I thought I'd come back to check out your first few trips. As someone who has been considering getting into trucking, really gives me encouragement.
I used to drive Chicago to Los Angeles. I would drive 70-75 but I stayed scanning front and rear constantly. I had two CPH pull up beside me and flash their spotlight at me then drive away lol. Just gotta be careful but yeah that 55 limit is ridiculous. And for parking download trucker path it will tell you if lots are full or not
Hey bro I just got my cdl. I had an experience trucker who was an instructor from my trucking school. He said you can go 65. Just dont go 70 to like pass someone or you go to jail
I was chillin waiting to be assigned my truck while Bobby Reach was eating his lunch during his orientation at the Portland OC. We've met and we talk. Comment on one of his videos and ask him "Do you know Tiki?" 😎 Bobby Reach a goat though, he's got great quality videos, he's definitely going to go far in trucking and TH-cam 🤘🏼
You can do 60 just don't do it all the time take it to 58 for about 20 miles when you on the 99 the I-5 don't do it,when you Travel the I 5 and the 99 North and South you will get used to it you'll see
#MountainTIki what GPS app is that on your phone? been loving these videos by the way. watching the whole series while studying for my CDL permit (CLP)
#mountaintiki I’m new to Schneider too, second week by myself, ur right everyday is a learning day. I do regional from Charlotte NC, I’m from Hawaii too🤙🏽 I start looking for a truck parking around 4 that’s about 2 hours b4 my 14
Schneider is picky on that, they have criteria you need to meet to do it. I know Portland OC really doesn't let anyone park it at home, they want you to leave it either at the OC or in a Schneider drop yard. I know a few drivers out of Phoenix who do get to take it home with them because they are like an hours drive or more away from the OC and can actually park it on the property.
Tiki. I've got an idea for a channel. I see so many trucker videos where the drivers going to a place they haven't been and they don't which gate to come in at or where to go specifically. Looks stressful. What if someone started collecting one minute excerpts from drivers dash cams of these places. Then you could watch that before taking off.
Congratulations!! And yes, I've had a very light trailer rolling through a windy flat highway and it wasn't fun. I totally forgot about the windy driving when I was in that dense fog 😂
@@dredadon6515 Bro, you cast a curse on me or something! I started up this morning and got a heavy wind advisory notice! Had 20-30mph winds, and 55mph gust hitting me out of no where! Had to happen in a metropolitan highway with narrow lanes too 🙃
@@williamkolthoff2559 Yes! Take your turns wide, wide, wide! And always check your mirrors and watch where you trailer tandems are at all times. Also, don't be nervous and just relax 😎
Hey man. Do a video about mega carrier training and if that influenced your decision to go to Schneider. Example Prime will have you team driving for months in training.
You drive to whatever makes you comfortable you don't worry about what some idiot thinks real talk 💯 🤜🤛 But try to put more on your drive than your tandems
You can go past the 40' mark as long as the numbers are not over The legal weight if your number are good all the way around you will be ok. I'm not going to tell the new guys in the trucking industry something you just don't do 💯🤜🤛
Be careful of your videos. Check with Safety as they watch the videos and will fire you for filming while driving as its a safety issue.. So check with them on the company policy on filming. Congrats and good luck...
I have a CB in my four wheeler for family road trips! Learned it from my grandfather back in the 70s/80s! Who gives a rat's ass if dorks on Tik Tok clown on truck drivers? Tik Tok is for teenage girls anyway.
Definitely getting a CB for my personal vehicle when I get the chance. I had one on my jeep for when i went off roading with the boys, but never in a regular vehicle! And yes you're right, who definitely gives a rats ass haha. Thanks for the insight Brian!
You go home once a month? You have a son and wife? Dude you need to quit in a few months and find another company and get home on the weekends or everyother weekend

11 years here keep your distance never drive sleepy be away of your surroundings keep a bunch of trucker buddies
Adjust your driving hours. I run coast to coast and all lower 48. I run from 3 am to 2 pm. Always parking and the truck stops are always empty...
Good content. Keep up the good work, learning from all the input 👍🏾
Yes CB radios are very critical for truckers
Definitely. I picked mine up about to install it here soon!
I don’t know about semi but in a school bus my scariest moment was in Alaska the day after a heavy rain that left a 1-2 inch sheet of ice on the road. Full with kids on board

Worst to drive in.
- Ice!!
- Winter white out
- Dense fog
Blizzards gotta be the worst to drive in at least in Canada don’t know for up there
Broo your balling.😁👍👍👍.
Far from it brother, thank you though! 🤘🏼
Can you do a dedicated video on how you trip plan? How you decide where you gonna take your breaks at?
Marten transport pays awesome. Plus run two GPS in the truck. Im 22 years experience
CB’s are essential
I can't wait to get a CB hope I can see you talk on it
Definitely Ice but fog is right up there
I thought tangerines came from an orchard. I did know they were made in a factory 🤣🤣🤷🏼♂️
Bro this comment made me spit my water out 😂😂😂 Thank you for that.
Hey bro I just got my cdl. I had an experience trucker who was an instructor from my trucking school. He said you can go 65. Just dont go 70 to like pass someone or you go to jail

Ye we do ne e do bring t h e cb back the pther thing hyou can get is a portable scanner and program chp in it
Ice is the hardest to drive in
I had a buddy who worked for Schneider he keeps telling me c’mon lol
#Mountaintiki I’m planning on going to school is Schneider a good company to start out with.
I would keep it at the speed limit snow
If u got a place to park the truck at home can u do that as well?

No special treatment on speeding in CA. Speed at your own risk. Take it from a car hauler.
Makes sense, thanks for the heads up! Drive safe brother!

NEVER pop your breaks on a scale.. I wish instructors would teach this.. otherwise a great video man
Instead long video split it and do 2x a week like 30 min videos
