You Tube Trucking Videos

In my research of becoming a trucker, I came across several you tube vloggers that have provided daily videos showing the trucking lifestyle. Some have been doing it for years, others are just starting. I started with Trucker Josh, then checked out Jon and Jade (husband and wife) and just started following Allie Knight, new driver who's been driving about 5 months.cker Josh These folks have really helped in showing what is what...I was really apprehensive about trucking, seeing all the BAD videos, but following these folks daily gave me a realistic view of daily life as a trucker. Let me tell y'all, these folks are having a BLAST! They'll have you laughing and giggling..

Trucker Josh has been at it for quite a while, he and Diesel, his dog, have many followers, and he's a blast to watch...Jade and Jon do an excellent job of showing how they use their truck as a second home and how they manage everything from laundry to groceries, showers, etc. Allie is fairly new, but really sharp, she giggles quite a bit, and it's a joy to watch her drive..in one video, she talked about her trainer and the experience she had, which was very helpful..If y'all would like to check 'em out, here are links to their channels:

I'm a big fan of Indiana Jack and J Canell. Jack makes some very visually appealing videos and focuses mainly on the "adventure" side of trucking, while J Canell does a wide variety of trucking topics, including "tours" of the new trucks that he drives/delivers to various outfits.

You guys.....this is exactly the kind of stuff I was talking about a few days ago when I asked if we should setup a video section here on TruckingTurth.

I've surfed YouTube for good quality trucking videos and that's a painful process. 95% of it isn't really helpful to anyone that wants to learn more about the industry, the job, and the lifestyle. But the other 5% is really great.

So send more ideas like these! I can setup a video section with different categories like:

- The trucking lifestyle

- The realities of the job

- backing videos

- shifting videos

- cooking in the truck

- electronics reviews

...all kinds of different categories. That way people don't have to endure the painful process of sifting through 27,000 YouTube videos. I can embed the good ones right here on TruckingTruth.

As long as you do not include that lazy slob of a trucker wannabe Abe under "- The realities of the job" listing I will be fine.

And no 'lazy slob' was not referring to his weight. I was talking about him strictly as the type of human trash that happens to slip into trucking sometimes and then gets weeded out.

What about ridewithB. i used to love watching his videos but now all he does is ***** and complain about the job. he complains alot about being away from home and being in a lightwieght truck... i wanna slap him. try going on deployment for 6-9 months and all your living space is the size of the bunk alone in the navy.

Youtube has copies of a 70's (?) vintage film on shifting an Eaton Fuller 13 speed transmission. It's the manufacturers film, and in two parts.

BigRigTalk is also pretty decent.I have thought about starting a vlog with my job delivering of food products.

First of all NC, Thank you for your service! I can't even begin to imagine what that must be like. Second, I agree with you and Guy. I can't stand the negativity on YouTube, and like Brett said, having to sift through 27,000 videos like that idiot Abe, to finally find something informative or uplifting!

What ever happened to, "If you can't say something nice... Don't say anything at all" ?!?!?!?

That's what I'd like to know.
