Looking For Trucking Videos To Add To TruckingTruth
Topic 641 | Page 2
I would watch videos over anything else. I'm a visual person. Reading is just words to me but seeing something done makes things clear. Glad hands for example. I know what they are because of the cdl training cours but I would be far more comfortable in my understanding if I saw them in use. Pre trip is the biggest grey are and very intimidating. A good video showng you the parts and explaining what you are looking for would make way more sense than just reading a list of what to do. I also really like the vlog stuff. I like to see truckers on the road and what theh encounter on random trips. Seeing them do what I'm planning on doing shows me othat I can do it and what I'm in for. Even if its them getting mad or complaining I can see the not so glamorous part and prepare for things like ignorant 4wheelers or getting held up at a shipper.

Hey Brett,
The following YouTube users have some good videos, in my humble opinion:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the great feedback! I was hoping for a few ideas but got a ton of em - nice!!! I'll definitely go through all of them and see if I can find anything worthy of our site. But I'm seriously considering making some of my own - especially on topics where the visual part of it would be helpful as Britton has mentioned.
