You Tube Trucking Videos

Many other truckers i enjoy but scottied67 is my favorite one to watch. He has a camera on his head as he drives and he just talks. He doesn't go out of his way to focus on the camera ot anything what he sees you see. Its as if you're riding shotgun in his head. Its awesome. He drives reefer so that's doubly awesome in my book since i'm going reefer.

Love Indiana Jack and Red Viking Trucker. Allie is annoying to me. Same with thatlittleguy. Josh is OK. I like the Canadian guy too. Tacbishop has some informative videos.

There's a lot of swearing on some guys vids, they don't make the cut. Go for the positive stuff ... RVT could quit driving tomorrow and survive as a motivational speaker.

I have spent countless hours watching youtube videos of truckers, some of which have been mentioned and are quality. However, I've noticed in the beginning the rookies are out there giving their testimonies about how great their company is or not, and the next video you see on them they have been fired for something they did or blogged about. I tend to think that doing you tube videos as a rookie isn't such a good idea. Or they have changed companies for whatever reasons. I see some that are bragging about getting 3000 miles a week and raking in over a grand take home and the next thing you see they are complaining about sitting and not getting any miles. One guy went so far as to say he leased a truck from company X and in 3 months netted 300.00 after all was said and done. Yep He quit!!!! I thinking youtubing isn't always the best thing for a rookie to do.......

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.

This is why I like Red Viking Trucker. He makes the specific point about not telling who he's working for, for the reasons listed above.

The Right Brotha is also one I have found helpful.

Saw someone mention Red Viking Trucker could quit trucking and go into motivational speech? So true, lmao. Also, his smile is just infectious (in a good way, lol).

For better or for worse, these are the trucking channels I currently have subscribed to:

(In the order my subscriptions list has them in.)

The First Crew (American Truck Simulation videos, but he's using the game to try to teach backing)

jimmy cox (Also someone focused on backing maneuvers, though with paper and a model most of the time.)

Allie Knight

Junior Honduras

Randee Lewis

Red Viking Trucker (He of the infectious smile.)

B Smoove Make Money

Red Head Trucker

Possibly lost a few in cutting out the not-related ones.

I admit some of them are more for entertainment value than information value, but whatever right? I may even make my own if I make it out there.

I come here for most of my serious research.
