man in the video Alex the trucking guy Alex you say you dropped out of college for this you didn't want a desk job you wanted something you want to experience life why was Trucking the answer well originally because I wanted to do van life and then one day I was scrolling YouTube and this YouTuber that was um also a truck driver vlogging his life as a truck driver popped up called riding with Dave and I just started watching video after video after video and then something clicked in my brain w
ell Trucking is kind of basically van life except you get to do it on someone else's dime like this truck right here this is not my truck my company owns this truck anything breaks on it they pay for it all the fuel they pay for it and I just get to travel for free and it's EX and it's something new every day and it pays well and you're you're chronicling it you said one of your goals is that with these tapes you wanted to click through a 5% on each V video make about 10,000 in sales what about
your goals how are you doing oh I I far surpassed all the dreams that I had I never thought it would be this big this my life is absolutely I I'm blessed truly blessed you pretty dep depressed after during the pandemic right you went home you're afraid of getting your parents uh your mother and grandmother sick you didn't have a job you had to reconfigure things and what what do you say to people who think this uh I don't know Trucking doesn't seem exciting enough for me what should they know ab
out what you do well I think that this is honestly an amazing career I mean there there's very few jobs in the world where you get to take home a lot of it like I get a free place to live and even trucking school CDL school the company that I was hired on by they paid for that I didn't have to pay for that extra 5,000 that they covered and so it's just you just set yourself up if you do it right and you invest right you set yourself up right for the future they want to make these uh uh cars they
want to make the truck especially in California electric would that work what are the problems with electric trucks I think it's a possibility but I also think we're long from it uh as we saw with the uh electric cars in the winter I I you know I'm concerned about how the weather affects the these batteries and um how long they'll last per charge um it's got It's got problems I see these guys complaining about charging stations the batteries are so big they take up a lot of the room Alex good j

The trucking fees are ENORMOUS

@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY

It was an absolute honor to be on the show Brian! It's crazy think that I came from working a factory job to living the life I have now. I am truly grateful to be living the life I am. This is a moment in my life I'll share with the grandkids. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

@Martin_Priesthood

And he's American. You don't have to import labor

@GarthBroox

Wait until he finds out in his 30s how fkn lucky he is. I got in the truck in my mid 30s. Shout out trucking with dave!!

@Thomas-sp1pp

An inspiration to all young and old, we need more people with this drive and attitude, no more handouts, the government will not be the answer...wake up AMERICA.

"Alex didn't want a desk job. So he decided to drive a truck." -Brian Killmeade 🤣

@Vanessa_Martinez

Shout out to him!!

@Andr3w73

I think he did a video a while back that talked about how much he makes in trucking. Wanna say it was around 80k a year. However the guy really is a penny pincher. Cooks his own food on the road, uses a loyalty card to pay for showers, etc. He has a really good head on his shoulders for someone in his 20s, and I believe he will retire early as planned even if he didn't have 1M+ subscribers on YouTube. Not sure how he ended up on Fox News, but his channel is definitely worth checking out. No politics or drama, just this guy talking while driving about his day and his outlook on life and stuff.

@jimh527

I drove a truck for 10 years. Over a million miles accident free. Couldn't make any money, lived in a truck for 3 weeks at a time and couldn't get home. Then I walked away. Don't be deceived. Companies need more meat. Alex is their ambassador.

@Victoria_USA_

TRUCKERS ARE THE BACKBONE OF OUR COUNTRY 🇺🇲❤🇺🇲

@dwaynestaley2047

@BOBMAN-zt9fz

Truckers are amazing when they aren’t in the left two lanes.

@ryanziolkowski6743

Truckers you keep usa going thank you!

@Lifting4fun

I left an amazing desk job as an Analyst in California to truck drive out of Las Vegas where I bought a huge house for my wife and my three babies in August of 2020. In California my wife and my three babies lived in a two bedroom apartment and my rent was $1750 a month. In Las Vegas my mortgage is 2k. I’ll take that deal and change of lifestyle any day for my wife and babies because I’m a Marine Veteran, Sergeant. And I’ll take that deal again because I know I can do it all over so that my wife and babies are safe.

@lanceybarra1968

Shout out to Alex and Riding with Dave...

@amandad6104

He's smart 👍

@jimvanderveer3203

You clearly havent been in the industry for that long...hope all works out for you

@jjm4633

Skilled labor jobs pay really good...like CDL drivers, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, stone masons. Even the technology sector and government can't operate without these skilled people.
