      No doubt he must be a church goin kind of man for his ending to be god oriented may god bless all the truck drivers all over the country with his loving hand and shield them from any type of harm that a truck driver encounters on his way to the end of his haul

    Not all truckers love their job like you. I’m a yard switcher at FedEx Ground in Indiana and not many drivers that come through seem like they enjoy their job as much as you. So seeing this makes me happy, safe travels!

      Used to go into most of the Chicago rails. Willow Springs was about the best, BN Cicero and House 9 were ok once you learned your way around, UP under I-55 could get tight... Going back behind Comisky Park could get dangerous at times. Been to CSX and NS and some of the others. Always freight in Chicago.

    Yes I am loving the positivity. So many guys are negative and I know the truck driving business is rough. I will be attending CDL school soon. I am so glad I came across your video. It really gave me a more positive outlook on being a truck driver. Keep up the good work.

    I used to drive to the Long Beach and Oakland shipping ports and let me say it is wild and crazy it takes long to get in and it takes long to get out. I've seen trucks crash in there, I've seen fights, seen container handlers drop containers. Anything you can think of shit even truckers unhooking their loaded chassis without putting the legs down on purpose no one cares in there. Good luck when they go on lunch an extra hr of wasted time for you, also had a couple protests so people would block off entrances making it harder for us. Never going back to doing that shit here in cali

    I enjoyed this video very much! I am a new importer from India and had my first ever 20 ft. container load arrive today from the Savannah GA port. I had a good conversation with the truck driver. All he does is haul containers to and from the port.
