I don’t know what was more painful… knowing that you did more work for that straight back or the hazard that you were backing through the entire parking lot because it was “easy”
What’s painful is drivers having to listen to people bitch at them and criticize them. Its really unnecessary. Who gives a flying F how he got it in there. If he did safe and didn’t hit anything. Doesn’t matter. Skill develops with time. We obviously know what we’re doing otherwise we wouldn’t be employed. We listened to our trainers bitch at us enough. We’re done listening to other people. Watch and enjoy.
@@MrJacobCastro sounds like you’re doing exactly that. I was never criticizing him. Just exercising my 1st amendment. And as a driver trainer the 1st thing I tell my trainees is NO unnecessary backing and in my professional opinion that’s what that was. If you take trainers b****ing at you to heart then you need tougher skin because That’s what’s going to keep you alive.
Hurricanes are not really an issue if you’re in Jacksonville and it comes from the panhandle unless it’s like a 4-5. And even then most likely it won’t even do more than maybe loose you a day due to flooded roads from the rain. That’s if it’s a slow mover.
Alex, it would be nice if you could show a little more of your driving view during your video. It is nice seeing the different terrain that you travel trough. Thanks for sharing !!
The hardest dock to back into is a wide open dock with now lines on the ground. That's when you realize how much you depend on other objects like trucks and trailers as a point of reference to help you back correctly.
He just hit his 2 year mark. Most local places won't even look at you with out AT least 2 years. The big reason, though, is that OTR is basically van life that he gets paid for, which is his dream.
Yup. Bottles with big hole openings are usually the best for pee jugs. Yes, very disgusting but all truckers, females included… have piss bottles. Some ppl even poop in bags, I don’t. I hold it in and it gets hard as a rock by the time I’m ready to go
Alex, I’ve been following you for awhile. As a fellow trucker, I think you should start trusting yourself more, when it comes to parking, it seems like you panic. And you don’t move fast. Which is good. You can make corrections as you go back slowly. You’ve got this man 🤝🏾
Cant believe he waits until he is lined up with the dock before he opens his doors lol im sitting here like....open your doors now alex so you wont block the whole parking lot😂
Hate date my age like this. A camera on a hat? No way they was on like 4 wheels if not more back in very early 60’s when I was young. In 80’s still no way a camera could be worn on a hat unless you was a James Bond type of agent. Amazing!!
I work as an oversize pilot and I’d love a schedule. I might work one job for 5 days a week, maybe for a month, but I only find out at 10am that I’m working that night. I’d love to have someone ring me and say you’ve got 4 weeks straight work with me. (Actually I’d really love that, I just started my own company working for myself and I’m gonna struggle like mad for the first 90 days til invoices start getting paid.
Hello Alex, I would like to ask you a question respectfully, how come even though it is October 3 you post videos that are a couple months behind I’m just curious not bashing you or anything I was just wondering
Mate I watch from Australia. After initially enjoying your show I’m beginning to find your negative thoughts and vibes. Nothing ever seems good. You might enjoy life more if you lighten up a bit and accept the odd pothole in the the road of life. 😂
That's what I do. I sometimes pee in empty soda cups, dump them out as I leave a truck stop or am cruising down a freeway on ramp. But my more "permanent jugs" get emptied the same way (or behind the trailer in some grass while doing my pre-trip). Then I rinse with some water, and spray with some Lysol. I've had the same pee jugs for months!!
Alex. After two years of OTR you still make Rookie mistakes. Who tf backs thru an entire truck stop parking lot? How have you not been able to improve on your backing? If people see your vids they would swear your still a Rookie fresh out of Cdl school
Have only just recently found this channel and thought he’d only been driving a few months. He complains at every dock and has 3-4 attempts to make it and has waaaaay too much wheel work reversing.
Has Alex heard of insurance? Lol I’ve never meet someone so scared of getting their truck hit! 😂 I’ve been hit once and it sucks but the company has insurance for a reason!
You also get boneheads like the one that hit me when I was sleeping I had to run out without shoes and stop him. Tore my mirrors off and destroyed my hood. Lucky I caught him and yes there are dashcams but in dark places it may miss stuff. People just need to get out and look but people are too lazy.
Buy a leaf blower for your trailer. It will make it so much easier when cleaning out your trailer and don’t buy a cheap one by a high power one a battery one.
But if you did run like that, and you will be making more money or but still, that's more loads for you. If you did that, do you do it sometimes or you just do it all the time?
Does it really count if you're wealthy enough from youtube that you dont need your trucking job and dont actually work normal trucking hours? kind of just playing pretend at that point, right?
Getting worse not better. Trouble backing in, can't merge on a highway, and can't do a comcheck for the " people who unload". LUMPERS!!! Alex ya gotta go up and forward, not backwards...I got Faith in you. Not as much as GP does but i got some!!
His anxiety is off the charts for parking at a truck stop and possibly being hit, but he merges onto the freeway super slow and skittish like a princess, he's 100x more likely to be hit that way.
@@scottied67 dude he’ll be in the right lane and cars will be merging and he will literally throw on 4 ways and slow down to like 50 I’m like dude you are going to cause an accident man.
Hay Alex your doing a great job I give you a grade AA's you know what your doing you be self one thee freeways at all times and your young just keep it up your smart that you went to truck driving school I'm happy for you and your family's are very proud of you you made something of your self get to see thee countless country's only I'd was young again i wood do what your doing and good luck as always and bass you on thee freeways you take care and like your Videos too.
I don't understand why he ALWAYS has full piss bottles in his truck. I empty mine out in the grass behind my trailer every morning, rinse them with some water, and spray some Lysol. I use the same bottles for month, so throwing out a lot of empties, or throwing out FULL PISS BOTTLES, if something I have little patience for. It's not that hard to take care of disposable waste!!!
Just have trump use his little magic sharpie to divert the hurricane. Eazy peazy 😂 Of course he'll deny he did that, but isn't trumps modesty part of what makes him such a great super hero? 😂😅
Too funny,...........NOT! Do you really find your comments witty or funny? They/them aren't. What does politics have anything to do whatsoever with this video? Absolutely nothing. Trump 2024
He's probably making more money making utube vids of him backing up than the milage pay going forward
Come for the backing and click-clack, click-clack. Stay for the hate comments.
That's a straight back with the whole parking lot for room
Fell out of my chair from laughing so hard
i hear a turn signal clicker. that means alex has a video going.
you want a schedule then stay local my god.. ive been driving almost 17yrs and thought of a "set schedule" as a OTR driver is insane to me lol
facts
I once again tuned in for blinker noise and a backup struggle
Even as a local driver I’m still not on a set schedule 😂
Speaking the truth. I try to keep my sleep schedule around the same time but there's been plenty of loads that don't pick up until really late so I'm forced to adapt. You get used to it but yeah Alex is wild.
@@Generalizedfeelingsthat's you, not everyone is the same or drives the same...
I notice that you correct the steer wheel 700 to 800 times when you back to a dock, maybe you should go for 1200 to 1500 times...
Seeing Alex hauling mandarin oranges in syrup brings back childhood memories. Life moves by fast, so always live life to the fullest and accomplish your dreams/goals. Stay safe Alex!
Your backing up is.always an issue time to go back to school .
He frequently over corrects when backing. It is a tough habit to overcome.
Bro been driving for years and he still ass in backing… he use the same technique for every dock when it’s not all the same

How can you judge somebody back up a truck n you can't even back or have your CDL 🤔
@@Zach-ic4dd I stopped watching after 3 mins of him trying to back
We all have our days Alex. I’ve been driving otr since 2017. Some days I can’t back for shit lol
If your empty slide your tandems all the way forward there's no need for them to be back....helps with turning
Why slide, if you can driver it doesn’t matter where the tandems are.

local usually pays by the hour.....a company WOULD NOT get their moneys worth out of alex lol
Are those pee bottles in your passenger seat? lol
yea all truckers keep em lol
Trucker life bro, just be happy we don't poop in bottles
Yup. Bottles with big hole openings are usually the best for pee jugs. Yes, very disgusting but all truckers, females included… have piss bottles. Some ppl even poop in bags, I don’t. I hold it in and it gets hard as a rock by the time I’m ready to go
He has a mental problem when he keeps over three gallons, that's about a week's worth of piss he's hauling around.
@@nicabla9435 I've been driving for 7 years and have never pissed in a bottle. All 7 years OTR

Great videos Alex ,why don't you roll your straps before you put them away it makes it easier when you need to use them, they won't be tangled.

Hurricane Alex
Cant believe he waits until he is lined up with the dock before he opens his doors lol im sitting here like....open your doors now alex so you wont block the whole parking lot😂
Shit I do that lmao. Helps me see but usually places aren't that busy where I go
He still a rookie
Who cares when he does it, stop treating him like everything he does is wrong ...you just like trying to be a know-it-all but fail miserably
And boom! Loverboy defends him
“What are you doing”
~Alex
There are few jobs as driver that are set hours like 9-5. My advice is to start looking in different jobs
Always make it as easy as you can for yourself if you have the space. You’re overthinking it my dude.
Was that a straight back across the whole parking lot
Yes it was🤦🏿🤣
@patricktyler4303 when he said something about a straight back, I wasn't expecting that
Alex too dang funny. He talked how that rookie would take forever to back up. Then pulled that😂😂
Yea no shit lol
bring back your cooking videos!!!
Glad you were able to narrowly escape the hurricane.
You are doing great love your channel
Wow a pickup in florida? I always heard Florida was a pain to get freight out of.

There are cameras so small you can put them on cat collars and even birds
I started making youtube videos with a camera on my hat in late 2015.

Gday fellow Aussie. You’re right. I’ve only found this guy and every dock, every truckstop, everything is a problem.
Great coverage of your delivery
Throw those pee bottles away very nasty yes you can have them but pour out and spray some bleach to keep smell away.

But having to deal with the hassle , is a huge pain in the ass,
You can lose out on safety bonuses, it looks unsightly, it can be a pain to deal with repairs, and GP could be a one and done company

Lucky I caught him and yes there are dashcams but in dark places it may miss stuff. People just need to get out and look but people are too lazy.
I've been hit while parked many times. I run a camera 24/7 to protect myself.
Ridiculous comment!
Sound like the looters in the big city...what's the problem, they r insured
Picture it as an invisible line
How often do you eat at truckstop
Dam this video was recorded in August and you’re just now able to get it out?
Those are probably big #10 cans of oranges.
How is trucking business, many drivers saying don't buy a truck & saying it's not worth it so is that true or they lie??? Thanks
How would Alex know he doesn't ownThis truck it belongs to the company he works for.
Wasn’t idalia in August. Isn’t it October? I thought the videos were always more recent. I’m confused.
Same but I guess he’s got a busy schedule
Good luck get rid of it go home have the guitar.
Back dat thang up.
Do they charge all the time when you want to dump the load early
LOL you are no better than two years ago, and spent five months of those two years trying to park.
