A Few Thoughts For Rookies

  • wngnutmv:

    While I missed my family, they couldn’t cope with me being gone. I heard an old trucker in a truck stop tell another, younger guy “this is something that gets in your blood, either you love it or you hate it”. I loved it, my family hated it. Maybe someday I’ll be back, at least I hope so! Great videos!!! Great words of wisdom!!!

  • backspace971:

    best advise is stay single and dont have kids,5years of trucking and i can afford to take 2 years of vacation ha ha,plenty of time to find another trucking job dont you say

  • dunlopdevil:

    wouldnt suggest this profesion to anyone who wants to have some sort of life,but it sure the hell beats being in a wharehouse or office all day long

  • keystrucker:

    James, I don’t know how I ever missed watching this video before. It is a powerful and important message for all truckers. I agree that for everyone getting into or thinking of getting into trucking this should be required watching. Fantastic job at the insight of trucking and a look at what’s in store for the new driver.
