Trucking On Youtube
Topic 15694 | Page 1
There are a lot of diehard YouTube fans around here, me being one of them! Have you checked out any of these folks?
Allie Knight (My personal favorite, a huge inspiration for me to keep going with trucking, and I get to meet her at the end of this month!)
Jade and John
Trucker Josh
The Little Guy Show
And don't forget Big Rig Talk. He's Canadian, he has many videos. He had heart surgery and I don't know if he's back to driving. He has many videos on trucking and trucking life. There is also J. Canell, another driver with a vast library of videos. Good luck.
I enjoy watching trucker brown and the right brotha. They were by far some of the most influential in me getting off my butt and calling a recruiter. I also do youtube, but due to Internet I don't upload like I want to. Also I am more about motivation and personal development. Being careful however because of trolls trying to get people fired.
I'm a fan of Big Cat Trucker, dudes hilarious. I do watch Allie Knight(i showed her videos to my fiancee trying to convince her to drive team with me lol), and Indiana jack as well.
Red Viking Trucker is probably one of my favorites on the ol YouTube. He puts out a ton of information for new drivers and CDL holders.

TT On Facebook
I've recently started watching videos from Indiana Jack on YouTube and besides being wonderfully entertaining, they can be quite informative as well especially for someone like me considering a life in trucking.
Besides truck driving, Jack is an accomplished photographer and his video's are high definition and great quality. He really exemplifies the right attitude when one of many of the daily problems that are discussed on this site, occur. Shipper not ready, receiver not ready, shipment refused, where to park, bad directions, impossible docking situation, running out of clock time, and on and on.
While his video's are primarily for entertainment purposes, he does from time to time talk about things like the log, hours of service, dispatch and repair problems; it's not just a travelogue.
I highly recommend you check out his YouTube channel.

Shipper:
