Got to love how Alex is so excited about such little things like a matching trailer. When I drove for a company I was happy to have functioning brakes and a defroster that worked.
Lol. So true, not looking forward to paying my dues but nonetheless looking forward to getting started! We all must start somewhere, just not swift lol
@@ElusiveConcept205 ive been driving for 8 years, started with a company called celadon and they went under, swift is not a bad company. ive never worked for them i always strongly suggesat swift or prime inc for people who are trying to get into trucking, swift has a lot of clients that'll keep you bouncing around all OVER the country and as a trucker thats what you want, nice 1000+ mile trips, i worked for a company called crete and these clowns could barely give me 500 mile trips. swift is a meme but not a bad company to get your toes wet with.
Hey fella. I absolutely love your enthusiasm in this business. I’ve seen comments on social media slamming you for being so proud of your truck. Don’t listen to the hate. Being proud means you will take care of it and that’s a great thing. I’ve been in the business for 15 years now and I remember how excited I was when I got my first truck so seeing your videos let’s me relive that a little. Thank you and keep on Rollin brother. Maybe we will run in to each other one day.
To make your fridge last longer, put the Styrofoam from the packaging under it. It helps absorb all the abuse from the roads. These fridges aren't designed for trucks. They're made for dorms mostly.
I’ve never had issues with fridges from driving the trucks. It’s always been from people switching them from truck to truck and dropping them and shit.
The one in my Pete lasted for 484,000 miles before I swapped trucks with zero issues. The ones they put in the trucks from factory are far more durable than you think.
😂😂😂 the way Alex was giving a tour of his truck almost seemed like it was just some random guy who jumped in a semi and started talking about what he is seeing 😂😂😂😂😂
Ok I thought it was me, I was looking for this comment, like is this even his, he don't have know work a helmet, don't know what a cb radio is, put back the ladder, the temperature gages I was so lost
I make my food at home for the week ! Im too tired to cook and dont want the cooking smell in my truck haha ! Its always chicken and rice with some veggies!
"This is my brake button. It has something to do with the air brakes or something." Id love to know what state your CDL was issued in. Ill be sure to stay far far away. That statement was mind blowing.
I clicked on this to see your truck and maybe get some specs, I think I got the wrong channel. Just curious how it is that you have a CDL and your unsure of your air brake system, I know when I got my license the written exam was General knowledge, then in addition to drive a tractor trailer you need to pass the Air brake and Combination vehicles test as well. The next time your pulling a heavy load going downhill you damn well better know how to use your brakes.
It's a sharp looking truck, but how did this guy get his CDL-A without knowing how the brakes work? The scary thing is, there have to be more like him all over the road.
Great video! Just a heads up. Carbon monoxide is heavier than air while smoke is lighter than air. I don't recommend combo units because one will always be at a disadvantage. I would recommend a smoke detector to keep up high and a separate carbon monoxide detector to keep down low. It's most important to keep your carbon monoxide detector below the level of your head when sleeping.
The way he talks about the stuff, when talking about his brake’s he’s so nonchalant not calling it as it is lol sounds like he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. Love this video!!
$200k?? So it came with at least $50k in cash tucked away somewhere inside it? It’s a fleet spec Cascadia. Nice but there’s not a single thing “custom” about it.
Alex is a pretty good guy. The simple things in life thrill him!! I am older and enjoy watching someone young who is not cursing, also keeping his nose out of people's business.
@@SteveSmith-lo2wdas a younger man, it’s refreshing to see someone closer to my age not making a fool of himself on camera like so many do. I can’t stand all that “f this and f that, mf gd, on and on” kids need punched in the mouth for that more often.
That's scary that a professional truck driver doesn't have a clear understanding of the braking system. How can you do a proper pretrip without knowledge of how your truck operates?
bro, it's nice to see someone else doing this, I'm a driver from Serbia, have you heard of Serbia, we're probably very popular because of Nikola Jokić and Novak Djokovic, it's a little different with us, the main difference is that we can drive at 10:00 a.m. twice a week the rest 9 and our weekend breaks are 45 h and the main difference is that you have your own trucks and we drive for companies and we are paid much less. Europe, even some countries that do not belong to the European Union. Big greetings for brother Trucker
I love your truck bro. I've been a chef for 24 years and I'm considering long haul trucking. You kinda sealed the deal for me . Thank you and est wishes my friend 👊🏻
I know nothing of semi trucks. But it’s cool to see someone talking about something they are excited about and think it’s cool. So what if there are “better trucks” he’s happy with his truck so there’s no better truck than this to this guy. Let people be happy.
This young boy is genuinely charismatic & charming, I hope he goes into a different field. I hate to see such a beautiful innocent boy becoming a mark at a truck stop, or in the trucking industry. I drove a 102”X53’ Wilson full cattle pot & a Pete w/425 Cat 13 spd 60” sleeper since 1982 I’ve always drove Peterbuilts w/Cat engines, everyone stayed away from livestock trucks even at weigh stations. Godspeed & God Bless young man, please be extremely careful, always lock your cab, wear jeans long sleeve shirts & steel toe work boots in case you get into something & always keep a good folding knife in your pocket & a pistol in your boot. I was given a 870 Remington shotgun in 1983 by my dad, and I always kept it under the sleeper.😂
True. But I like the open area above me while I’m chilling in bed, feels cramped with the bed down all the time. Those single bed trucks with the shelf where the top bunk would be are pretty dope
7:47 The two white plastic pieces on the front of your head should be flipped to the inside. The size adjustable piece behind your head should be fully or partially showing.
Great videos! It’d be a great convenience if trucks had an easy option for removing the passenger seat, when solo driving. That’d give you that much more space.
Nice video and tour of your truck Alex, it was really interesting to see all that exists in such a small space. You've made it a comfortable home on wheels , are you going to put up the lights you had before ? the different colors gave a soothing ambiance. Stay safe out there 🙏🥰🌟✌️
Oh yes, the freightliner cascadias has dual screen dashboards that are sick AF. IMO they're on of the best trucks out there. Although I'm personally a kenworth kind of guy... don't judge me.
Alex, what job did you have just prior to becoming a trucker? Have you always been an over the road trucker, or have you done local deliveries? Do you want to bring a pet (dog, for example) with you on the truck?
Hey Alex, loving your videos. My dad use to work in a sleeper and I remember riding with him all the time as a kid so this brings back some memories. I know you probably get questions like this all the time but I remember in a few videos you bringing up how trucking can be a lonely job at times. So, I'm curious what are some things that you do to help overcome that loneliness?
5:09 I’m laughing so hard right now because until you showed me this I never thought about that or the fridge popping open you really do learn something everyday 😂Thankyou
Why not just sit on the trash can and eat at the pull out table? Pretty much exactly where you put it now but turn to the left 90°, you'd be facing the pull out table with a bit more privacy (heck, you might be able to close the curtain and eat 🤷♂)
You're very organized and very knowledgeable about trucks and how to survive driving 18 wheelers. But, it's highly recommended that defrosting meats, and other frozen products in the fridge. Bacteria can become a problem by defrosting outside of the fridge. A microwave can sometimes help. Just a healthy suggestion!
He's not very knowledgeable about trucks.... he doesn't know anything about his air brakes, he literally said something to do with brakes or something... like come on, doesn't know what's on his screen for oil Temps and pressure.... if he don't know that then he doesn't even know how to do a pretrip and thats fuckin scary mannn
I was thinking about applying with GP but once I read the reviews, I quickly changed my mind, wasn't suprised though, the trucking industry has gone to hell in a hand basket, cant trust any of them unfortunately.
I’m surprised that you haven’t invested in an E bike that you could somehow mount to the back of your cabinet between the truck and the trailer so that when you get a different cities you could maybe get around on a day and a half or 30+ hours that you have. I have to be not driving the truck so occasionally you can get your new or interesting places?
Alex, on my Kansas property I have a nice pond and a canoe It's so relaxing . I did have to shoot a water moccasin last week , but oh well no venomous snakes in my canoe with me allowed!
Just enrolled in school to get my CDL in January.. it’s amazing how much this guy DOESN’T know and he’s behind the wheel of a truck. Guys definitely got an auto restriction that’s for sure.
I love your videos Alex ...I'm writing this from my home country Greece.. I recently got my CDL Class B license in Massachusetts and now I'm Back in Greece... but when I get back home I'm going to go for my class A... I just want you to know I watch every single video of yours and I think you're absolutely amazing ...the only gripe I do have is when you can't make a turn and you edit it out and you don't show us what you do to counter that problem
Where did you get that hanging closet thing with the drawers???? Please I need to know. I can never find those drawers. Thanks. Also, I just started this past Wednesday with GP. Currently running my second load. 👍👍👍
ok i was looking for this comment, i wanted to make i was no the only one that seen those sitting, one full and the other in the process of getting full
Perhaps when he says custom, he is referring to the trolley brake, matching paint scheme, and digital dash, etc. None of those are standard on a Freightliner Cascadia. Matching paint on bumpers, extended fairing, aerodynamic package, battery powered HVAC, air ride suspension, and interior upgrades add to the cost. He never showed what’s under the hood, he could have a DD16 or have opted for more torque and horsepower. The list of what is considered custom can go on and on. From the looks, it could appear like a standard company spec truck but be in fact a custom truck. When I ordered my 2021 Freightliner Cascadia, I had it customized for what I specialize in. From the outside, it appears like a standard company spec truck, sort of. But their are some differences on the outside that would give it away that I don’t have a company specked truck. I chose to skip the digital dash until my next new customized Freightliner. What I wish that I didn’t skip out on was the air suspension, driver lane keeper, and perhaps the battery powered HVAC system, although I have a battery powered AC mini split system which cost way less and works a lot better than Freightliner’s battery powered HVAC system. And lastly, what I really want customized is to add a wet bath. It can be done and has been done. There’s a shop down here in Texas that installs them. You lose the left shelf space, but hey, drop the top bunk, install some Walmart ben’s and I’d be a happy camper.
Alex, I've had several calls wanting my guys to try out those electric smi trucks. I was polite the first 2 or 3 times, but they kept up to the point I had Brian take care of them.
Im really familiar with that digital pads. I used to work on Mercedes Actros and they changed analog gages to digital (in my opinion worse) And then when you talk about the breaks, got little confused. The yellow button is parking brake, not to turn on the brakes... instead of a handbrake.... right? It's also good to get to know every function of the buttons you have, why are they there and what do they do, and in what circumstances do I press them.
Hey Alex, I just had one of my trucks delivered to me with a load for Kansas. I decided on the new name and I'm going through the bullshit of starting the second company right now Cotton Wood Terminal. is becoming a real company finally! I only have my uncles truck so far the 3 2020 green T680s are being overhauled and relettered for my new company. But it's taking shape my other company is still running as before, very smoothly. I just want this one to operate the same way. Now I have to find three drivers to complete the puzzle. Alex, shortly you will receive another support gift for your channel. I've already got a customer in Kansas shipping to Tennessee. I bought property in Tennessee, I have a paper customer in Indiana, I bought property in southern Indiana. I meet my trucks in Tennessee to exchange trailers, when I get 2 or 3 more drivers I'll be set until phase 2 in mid 2024. Wish me luck Alex, This has to show a profit within 24 months or parts may be sold off!
I've heard that you must wear more sunscreen on the left side of your face more due to more sun exposure. Please make sure you apply enough and there are tons of Japanese brand that is great and non greasy
Your hard hat liner is backwards. Also those CO2 detectors won’t do anything because being a diesel they produce Nitrous Dioxide not carbon monoxide. The smoke detector portion of it will work, but once your truck is on fire and they detect it it’s nearly too late being everything is plastic. Also, I’m not sure what exactly is custom about your truck lol. I mean it’s a nice company truck, but far from custom. Maybe one day I’ll see ya around and I can show you my custom truck. Stay safe man.
When is your original truck going to be fixed? Because you’re driving another one I can tell because of the driving is this the black thing that sits underneath your steps on the right side of your truck?

0:05 soo no one is going to talk about how he tried to block out the number but totally failed 🤣🤣
Where did you get the electric stove at?? I like that. All I can seem to find is the propane fueled ones.
Great looking rig, Alex. Be safe.
Perhaps when he says custom, he is referring to the trolley brake, matching paint scheme, and digital dash, etc. None of those are standard on a Freightliner Cascadia. Matching paint on bumpers, extended fairing, aerodynamic package, battery powered HVAC, air ride suspension, and interior upgrades add to the cost. He never showed what’s under the hood, he could have a DD16 or have opted for more torque and horsepower. The list of what is considered custom can go on and on. From the looks, it could appear like a standard company spec truck but be in fact a custom truck.
When I ordered my 2021 Freightliner Cascadia, I had it customized for what I specialize in. From the outside, it appears like a standard company spec truck, sort of. But their are some differences on the outside that would give it away that I don’t have a company specked truck. I chose to skip the digital dash until my next new customized Freightliner. What I wish that I didn’t skip out on was the air suspension, driver lane keeper, and perhaps the battery powered HVAC system, although I have a battery powered AC mini split system which cost way less and works a lot better than Freightliner’s battery powered HVAC system. And lastly, what I really want customized is to add a wet bath. It can be done and has been done. There’s a shop down here in Texas that installs them. You lose the left shelf space, but hey, drop the top bunk, install some Walmart ben’s and I’d be a happy camper.
Great vid Alex!!! In the future, when vlogging, can you include all merging? I love it!!!
Alex, I've had several calls wanting my guys to try out those electric smi trucks. I was polite the first 2 or 3 times, but they kept up to the point I had Brian take care of them.
Im really familiar with that digital pads. I used to work on Mercedes Actros and they changed analog gages to digital (in my opinion worse)
And then when you talk about the breaks, got little confused.
The yellow button is parking brake, not to turn on the brakes... instead of a handbrake.... right?
It's also good to get to know every function of the buttons you have, why are they there and what do they do, and in what circumstances do I press them.
Thanks for the fun tour Alex, in a new tractor...
I’ve always wondered what the interior of semi trucks look like.)))
Hey Alex, I just had one of my trucks delivered to me with a load for Kansas. I decided on the new name and I'm going through the bullshit of starting the second company right now Cotton Wood Terminal. is becoming a real company finally! I only have my uncles truck so far the 3 2020 green T680s are being overhauled and relettered for my new company. But it's taking shape my other company is still running as before, very smoothly. I just want this one to operate the same way. Now I have to find three drivers to complete the puzzle. Alex, shortly you will receive another support gift for your channel. I've already got a customer in Kansas shipping to Tennessee. I bought property in Tennessee, I have a paper customer in Indiana, I bought property in southern Indiana. I meet my trucks in Tennessee to exchange trailers, when I get 2 or 3 more drivers I'll be set until phase 2 in mid 2024. Wish me luck Alex, This has to show a profit within 24 months or parts may be sold off!
That radio is a citizen band radio, which is pre cell phone. You should have 360 Camaras on your truck.
I’m in a 23 freightliner cascadia as well and you gave me some better storage ideas.
Custom? How? Its like every other Cascadia. Simple
I guess you missed the part where he showed his color changing cb, you ding dong
Ahh, no your right your right, stupid stupid stupid me!!!
Your hardhat insert is backwards. Turn it 180° and adjust to fit your head properly.
Good video on living. The table eating thing food going down , it all goes ok. Everytime.
Idk if anyone has said anything yet but I'm pretty sure you put the cage in the hard hat in backwards lol
You remind me of my sister so much with all her lil creative ways to fix pet peeves hahahaha its wholesome.
CO is a heavy gas. The detector should be closer to floor. Smoke from fire moves up for the reason we crawl under during fire.
Looks cozy. But a lot of hard work. Be safe.
Start a franchise small shops that prep clean macro meals
Keep ‘em healthy grass fed and loose weight specially all there money we both win
Probably should have left that Hard Hat on pulling down that top bunk😂😂😂
I've heard that you must wear more sunscreen on the left side of your face more due to more sun exposure. Please make sure you apply enough and there are tons of Japanese brand that is great and non greasy
Was not expecting just a whole head of cabbage in the fridge.
semi truck... WITH 2 BEDS!!!!! - so cool!
Your hard hat liner is backwards. Also those CO2 detectors won’t do anything because being a diesel they produce Nitrous Dioxide not carbon monoxide. The smoke detector portion of it will work, but once your truck is on fire and they detect it it’s nearly too late being everything is plastic.
Also, I’m not sure what exactly is custom about your truck lol. I mean it’s a nice company truck, but far from custom. Maybe one day I’ll see ya around and I can show you my custom truck.
Stay safe man.
his head is on backwards
You should keep the Carbon Monoxide detector down at floor level. CO is heavier than Oxygen so it settles to the lowest point.
The plastic brackets on your helmet has to be folded the other way “up” into the helmet
That looks so cozy.
When is your original truck going to be fixed? Because you’re driving another one I can tell because of the driving is this the black thing that sits underneath your steps on the right side of your truck?
Love the tour!!
Your thumbnails be killing me 🤣
