So if you don’t drive a manual you’re not a trucker, tell that to the million mile drivers out there who started out driving manuals before the industry switched over to automatics, that has to be the dumbest statement ever
@@JeffLane-m5s no you are a real trucker if you drive an automatic. But you’re not a real trucker if you’re restricted to drive an automatic. Basically your CDL says automatic restriction.. why you’re not a real trucker if you have an automatic restriction? Well because there’s lots of foreigners out there that think they know things about trucking and have automatic restrictions on their CDL.’s when in reality, they don’t know squat when it comes to trucking and the experience.. want to be a real Trucker? Get that automatic restriction removed.
That’s me, I switched over to automatic, and be honest with you. It saves your knee. I can really care less what I drive. I hate that real truck driver bravado shit. It’s stupid.
All these kids out here pass judgmental on others about being a truck driver. If you drive a truck at all, you're a truck driver. After 30 plus years and 3 million miles, I'm now a dispatcher, and i love it.
The other thing that cracked me up about that dude talking shit about Alex is he has no idea what Alex is investing his money in, I remember Alex saying in one of his vids he wanted to make enough to retire and go to South America if I remember correctly. For all anyone knows, maybe he did it and we will all get a thanks for watching video soon haha. No matter what I wish Alex the best and if he does need a reference he can always get one from me.
I used to work at GP TRANSCO, I left there about a month ago. I really liked working there, but unfortunately I’m not allowed back because I didn’t give a two weeks notice because I sold my house on the fly, and I had to get my stuff out of there ASAP. I always would see Alex in passing frequently, but I never spoke with him. He doesn’t seem to really talk to many people, and I could probably understand why. A lot of the other drivers there would talk a lot of shit, and it sounded like it was out of jealousy more than anything. yeah yeah, he comes across a little nerdy, but he’s a good worker and pretty loyal. You can pretty much tell that off the bat. I wish him all the luck.
@@Chibeagle no actually the older ones so he was good. I even see a lot of comments from older drivers that were good comments, but it was usually the younger crowd at work that would just talk shit about him, but like I said, it sounded like jealousy.
Earlier this year he posted in his community section that he took some time off (I think like a month) for some "health problems". He also said that during his time off he was able to reflect on himself and he said that he figured out that the most important thing is surrounding yourself with good people. He could have just up and quit cause he realized that the lonely OTR life ain't worth it even with youtube money because of it. I don't know just a theory. Still strange cause when he got this job not too long ago he said it was his dream trucking company. Whatever he is doing now or in the future I hope he's doing well.
I have CDL class A No restrictions on my license. But I hate driving manual, cause my OTR route is east coast. Try Delivering a load to NYC! with heavy stop and go traffic. But being a company driver you get what they give you. Last senior drivers get first dibs on the new Semi Automatics which most big trucking fleets are changing to. So the senior drivers take it, but they all talk bad about automatic trucks why?

Yeah, my company came out with a social media policy, basically we lowly drivers cannot put out stuff on the socials where it appears we are representing the official trucking company.

The biggest thing about Alec and my genuine personal reason for not enjoying his content was that he just made stupid choices. Like constantly. He potentially set a really bad example of how trucking works for new people. Or turned people off from the industry (more money for us though) I don't envy alex the trucking guy or any big youtube.

Nobody asked what you're annoyed by you're not the boss of Alex or anyone......you make plenty of stupid choices every day if you say you dont then you're lying
I always ask myself this depending on who needs help would they do the same for me without expecting to benefit anything from it so I ask everyone that may read this would Alex help anyone out if it didn’t benefit him in one way or another I would say NO
The mature thing to do is for you to just let this topic go & worry about yourself. Why are you so invested in this dude,or anyone else ? It seems to bother you more than anyone else. Now you are talking about celebrities that have NOTHING to do with the topic. You are weird bro,& a hypocrite. DAMN !!!
Alex will get another job and the haters don’t like him because he actually has clout and personality I’ll definitely keep following him if he comes back
Trucking has nothing to do with the Transmission. These losers talking shit who prefer manuals are no better at driving than those who drive automatics. The old school gear shifters caused all the regulations in the first place. A real driver keeps in between the lines and keeps the rubber down.
I do have to mention one thing about GP Transco, or else I wouldn’t feel right, not mentioning it. It does have a high atmosphere of cliquish, clan like behavior. I know the owners of the company are very young, which probably contributes to that. I am not at all saying it’s a bad company. I actually enjoyed working there, but it does have that feeling.. I know while I was working there they did fire two people I was familiar with, that have been there for a while and we’re good at what they do, but one of them was let go for something they said, and that struck me is very odd. Usually trucking companies don’t give a shit how you act as long as you’re there for the job and you do good work. Nobody really should give a shit what you say unless it’s something derogatory to a customer. It’s hard enough trying to find drivers so why would they get rid of a perfectly good working person over something stupid, hence the Cliquish, clan like behavior.
I got so tired every video he'd have some idiot old driver critiquing every single bit of his driving... even complaining because he used his flashers when backing or for setting his trailer brakes....these people lived 24/7 to trash on Alex....
Nobody was or is jealous of Alex… get real! this blogger, Augustine, who’s talking in this video, is misunderstanding the issues… Alex had a private deal with GP.. yea, he was an “ambassador “ of sorts, but the issue many here had, is that he was not a really good image as a representative of our drivers.. If you watch his videos, you will see a pattern of rookie mistakes over and over and over.. whether it was moving tandems or backing up or mostly navigation and failing to properly plan a load assignment.. he also did a lot of “on the video” complaining, about his loads, the company, etc…the only thing he really liked was his new truck and whatever the special deal/contract he made with GP TransCo was.. He just never seemed to learn from his mistakes.. good drivers learn from their errors… His low performance was rewarded with special favors, other really hard working drivers don’t get. The main perk was a limited edition new Kenworth.. Keeping him happy seemed to be more important than his performance and his ability to have the truck earn money for GP… At least that’s the impression other company drivers had.. in business you don’t generally reward poor or low performance.. but Alex was special I guess… But to reiterate, nobody was jealous of him. He was not very friendly towards many, he was perceived as thinking he was “elite”, which he was not! If they really need to have “good will ambassador/s”, there are so many other highly regarded drivers that to coin a term “deliver the goods” for GP… regularly I speaker with experience at the company as I’m here over 5yrs at GP. Those of us long timers, who perform properly, get raises twice a year, and I’m just now in my 3rd brand new tractor.. they are not perks, they are common practices for all drivers.. Alex was definitely treated differently as his rewards/perks including lots of vacation time, came to him very quickly.. I also think the drivers he attracted were not the quality GP was looking for and that may have also been a contributing factor factor to his departure… One last thing that MAY /or MAY NOT have ALSO contributed to to his departure is that all his driving time on every load was spent driving with all his cameras deployed and his constant narrative, which by many standards and good practices is frowned upon as DISTRACTED DRIVING.. I’m just guessing about this though. The perfect new driver at GP should have at a minimum, 3yrs OTR experience exclusively in additional to any other driving experience, NO MOVING VIOLATIONS, and NO ACCIDENTS IN THE LAST THREE TO FIVE YEARS.. They should additionally have knowledge of ELD devices ( we use our own proprietary app).. . Thanks for reading…

That is a reasonable and fair point. However, you also have to admit that Alex also had some reasonable and fair points. Sure, he didn't share any of the bad sides of being a truck driver and only highlighted the goods parts, that still doesn't disprove his point. Now, do I think you are going to be able to retire early from trucking? No. I do however believe that if you work hard enough on something then you will eventually achieve it. It's all about trying things and seeing what works. Alex was privileged enough to work for an amazing company and had his CDL paid for which is not a common thing. He also managed to make a little side hustle and make interesting content on his channel showing his life as a trucker.
@@augustineramos_ blah blah blah. I hear nonsense coming out of your mouth.. I have watched countless TH-cam channels on similar subjects and just because they’re big even if they’re immature, people will watch and respect them.. because I’m a TH-cam channel.

@@Knight14649 no way am I reading your essay, your definitely a hater. Who dedicates this much time and even goes back and edits a long ass essay comment about another man with nothing but shit talking? A hater. Grow up.
@@augustineramos_it wasn’t intended for you.. obviously, you know nothing about what you speak. I listened to your entire speech, you are incorrect about everything you say…. You just need to stop lecturing people and start learning… you seem to misinterprete all that I said…. Nobody is hating, I’m just telling the truth.. facts don’t care about feelings….
@@augustineramos_you can lecture people about what you don’t know, but you’re unable to take a criticism on your own words.. that’s leftist thinking…. You need to grow up…. Go on and read my original comment, don’t be ignorant…
@@augustineramos_they just can't see a Mexican win
Alex bought his subs.
#whatintarnation
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
I actually don’t hate Alex
I just don’t like the way he explained trucking and portrayed trucking on Fox News
That is a reasonable and fair point. However, you also have to admit that Alex also had some reasonable and fair points. Sure, he didn't share any of the bad sides of being a truck driver and only highlighted the goods parts, that still doesn't disprove his point. Now, do I think you are going to be able to retire early from trucking? No. I do however believe that if you work hard enough on something then you will eventually achieve it. It's all about trying things and seeing what works. Alex was privileged enough to work for an amazing company and had his CDL paid for which is not a common thing. He also managed to make a little side hustle and make interesting content on his channel showing his life as a trucker.
Who tf is u bud 🤣
I knew I was right about Alex not working for GP Transco 🤣🤣🤣 and you said I didn’t have credible sources
Can't expect people to take you seriously when you act like a damn child
@@BluSniperya I see that some big TH-camr will make same video and be immature and take that TH-camr seriously all because his channel is big
It doesn’t have to do with his channel size. BluSniper is right, you come off as very immature.
@@augustineramos_ blah blah blah. I hear nonsense coming out of your mouth.. I have watched countless TH-cam channels on similar subjects and just because they’re big even if they’re immature, people will watch and respect them.. because I’m a TH-cam channel. People hate me.. people post about Toyota have an issues with their GR model cars. Well, when I post one of my videos, everyone thinks it’s not true.. but yet people with the huge amount of subscribers everyone always thinks it’s true.
Besides, I have more subscribers than you
@@augustineramos_ also it’s not like you have a ton of views per video as well. We’re both the same boat with struggling to get used. I checked your channel out.
Reaction response video of your 1st reaction video of me is going live tomorrow
Like I said you totally got this wrong, I don’t hate Alex and I explain my upcoming video as to why he’s not a real trucker and it has nothing to do about his TH-cam channel
Time to Expose Augustine.
@@robertwilliam9558 well I got a response video going live tomorrow where I react the response to him reacting to my Alex video
Lol bro you attacked the guy.
No one asked you to determine whos a real trucker thats a arrogant stance.....
@@truckercowboyed2638 so you saying the Volvo Mafia guys with feet on the dash are real truckers? 🤣🤣🤣😔they shouldn’t have had their CDL given to them in the first place.
Sorry to hear about Alex th3 guy that was talking crap about Alex is nothing but a jealous asshole.Alex had to put alot if work into just filming Alex will land back bigger and better.1 he is not out here ranting to or about the reason.he could left because of stress .so to all the haters on Alex kiss my ass Alex got your back retired trucker.yea started driving a B model Mack hauling Asphalt to the mouth piece try and drive a duel stick tandem no power steering hauling 22 ton hot Asphalt.
