didn't expect to see you here alex! hopefully you see this man! i truly hope your wife and son are doing great 👍 as well as your uncle, dad, and everyone else that i haven't seen on your channel yet. every night i watch/rewatch videos of yours while i eat something or before i go to bed, your videos are very well made and entertaining! stay safe on the road man 🙌🤞
Been watching you for awhile Alex congrats on where you've gotten your family today. I've been slowly studying my CDL I got my 3/4 diesel for light loads and hotshotting so far
Welcome back. Watching your vids inspired me to get my CDL in 2021 and now I'm an LTL linehaul driver pulling hazmat doubles for YRC. Your DOT clock video from back in the day explained the hours better than Roadmaster's teachers, believe it or not. Thanks bro
OMG, my dude!! I'm SO glad that you're back on the road. It was so good to hear that intro music again! Congrats, man! Be safe out there! I'm not a trucker, but I've always loved "big trucks." I can't wait to see what you're gonna be driving!
Can’t explain how happy I was to see the channel go back to “life behind the wheel” been with ya since the video “things you need to know before getting cdl” and been here ever since. CAAAAAAAAMON! Edit: and he releases a 30 minute BANGER for his first video back.
Welcome back, Amigo! THANK YOU, Ray and Kris! This scenario makes me a damn proud American knowing there are still small family-based companies out there like Leslie Transport. If we don't have faith and share guidance with future generations, then we become part to blame for failure of our country. Obviously he's a Wildman, and not without flaws, but he seems like a risk well worth taking. Dakota- it's now up to you. Life is short, enjoy the ride, but enjoy it responsibly. LESLIE TRANSPORT will never be the biggest, but I would say they most certainly they are the best!
So glad to see you are back~! You are a talent and a good person. Life is about second chances. There are few companies out there like Leslie Transport- and Ray certainly has gone above and beyond! What a shining example he is of compassion and decency! Thank you Ray~!
Was just showing your videos at my CDL school this morning and as im getting ready for bed , i realize the dude who got me into trucking is back behind the wheel !!! Congrats Dakota ! Cant wait to see where your journey goes man !!!
There isn’t too many company’s that would do what Ray has done.. You know you have a good employer that goes out of their way and helps people like that
Holy shit welcome back! I remember watching your videos not being a trucker. Then you left and I got bummed so I went to trucking school and got my CDL. It's bc of you why I joined trucking.
Used to watch your vids a few years back, was bummed to learn what was going down and you'd be taking a break, I randomly got an itch to go watch one of your old videos, and you're back trucking! Hell yeah bro!!
Congratulations. I Know what you went threw was tuff. As I'm a month out from getting back behind the wheel after the little mishap. know exactly what its like now, what you went threw. Glad to see you Rollin again. I got a great employer who keeps making sure I'm coming back. I'm like you was, just waiting on time doing what I'm doing to get threw it. God Bless. Thank You Ray for keeping life behind the wheel in your thoughts and getting him going again.
Brother, nice to see You back, always enjoyed your videos, I'm not a trucker, just a Retired maintenance/ welder for a mining company, much respect for what you do, Stay safe.
Really happy for you bro!!! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do, I know it's hard (fellow ADHD brother) but at least you got the first stint done! Much love to you brother!
Really glad to see you back in the saddle and a huge shout out to Leslie Trucking for everything they've done on your behalf!! Great having you back and looking forward to watching your videos and seeing where you're going. Can't wait to see how the rig shapes up!!!!
Super proud of you my brother!!! Way to hang in there and not lose hope and focus!!! You are an inspiration to us all and we LOVE your videos!!! Stay safe out there and best of luck at 2.0!!
I have to stop right now, 5:44, so I can comment. I will watch the whole video. But I want to comment now. I am so exceedingly happy for you that you are back doing what you truly love. I missed you. Now, I'm in my mid 60's so I'm going to admonish you in this regard - do not FUCK THIS UP!!! You've been given a great second chance. Cherish it. Good luck, and I expect to see many more videos.

all the best dude
Ray saved your butt.Please don't do stupid shit as your see it effects more than you
Glad to see you overcome and own it. A video on what you had to do to get back would be awsome.
If you watch trucking vids and can’t deal with the f word then you shouldn’t be here anyway
Glad to see you back behind the wheel after so long away from it.
Congrats to getting back in with Leslie Transport!
