The Joy of Trucking
United States
Приєднався 30 бер 2021
Are you curious about trucking? Looking for information, tips, and insights?
Are you an armchair traveler who wants to join us for some fun and adventure on the roads of America?
Ride along with us as we discover and share all that trucking and this continent have to offer!
We lived on the Caribbean island of St. Croix for twenty years. In 2017, we sold our home and company, shipped our car and the last of our belongings to Florida, and then hopped on a plane with four suitcases, four carry-ons, and our two dogs. We bought an RV in Albuquerque and spent the next three years traveling the country, selling jewelry at art shows and festivals. When Covid-19 hit we hunkered down in Phoenix, where Kevin worked at Amazon.
After nine months we grew restless and wanted to get back on the road. We chose to pivot.
In February 2021, Kevin got his CDL. In March, Kevin hit the road. In April, we set off together.
Join us on this grand adventure!

First Day Trucking - Time to Get on the Road
Nice Video
I love you guys and how you go about your day and business! It's fun to see how patient you guys are with each other- And Kevin!! Your wife is super-supportive and fun! I'm retired now, after 33 years of doing it- and my wife never was interested in going with. It got lonely and my frustrations came out because I didn't have that special person to ground me! Good on you guys! I'm a new subscriber so I'll be watching!! Great content!!
How do you know you get a bypass at a weigh station. ?. You get an indication in the truck?
That breakfast looks delicious 😋
Don't you guys go to the truck stops and eat good food instead of that garbage Kevin eats.
Say hello to Martin and Alice of trucking together while in Wisconsin
Do you guys ever get the truck wash?
If I remember correctly, it seems your voices were a LOT better in previous "on the road" Vids. Seems the last few, do not sound good at all.....????
Wisconsinite over here. Let’s gooo!
People there drink "Wisconsonably!"
I used to think you guys were boring....but after a couple of years watching lame trash and super angry junk...Im back!!! I enjoy the easy going rocking chair pace of things. I know Kevin has been thru a lot and a few good and bad companies (as we all hve), So I respect his time behind the wheel and both your chit chat on the road!!! Thanks
If you are iterested all those things you see but are sure or dont know why they have them...(like the sailboats) Just do a quick wiki search, As for the sailboats, lot of sailig and racing in WI. Wiki search Buddy Melges. Even his sons are now world class tacticians. And check out the Melges line of boats. Super poplular aroiund the globe Melges is proounced ( mail-guess)
Wait!! I flew those floatplanes..... Twin Otters....from StCroix-StThomas.... Seaborne airlines. Load up on the docks or beach sometimes. did you work at the Oil refinery?
Wisconsin here we come. Drive safely my friends. God bless you both. 🙏🇺🇸
Kevin, take pride in that KW driving and polish the wheels i’ll get back in there in That Freightliner
I have followed you for a while and have noticed lately you are showing less of the shippers and receivers. Could you please still include that in your videos.
Some customers ban video recording on their property so maybe that's why
Good morning: Enjoyed the video this morning. What a way to get to see our great country, and get paid while doing it. Have a great day and be safe.😊😊😊😊😊
Safe travels. I'm in Janesville, Wisconsin, getting loaded at seneca. Then , I go home to Lincoln, Nebraska.
If your wife didn't know you were turning onto Walnut Street so that she could prepare walnuts as opposed to pistachios, then she clearly needs to learn how to trip plan better :p
Often cops are children of cops. Just try, act of imagination, what kind of person would be attracted to this kind of "work." I see thousands of examples of unsafe trucker behavior every day. Cops NEVER hold such drivers to account. They only pull crap like this. Speeding radar against drivers engaged in the least of the unsafe behaviors. I have never been helped by these tough guys, irritated countless times. They are absolutely NOT to be trusted.
Good information, must be a better way to find empties.
So what is your best state and city to down /upploade
Best time to start your day is around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning you can drive out all your hours without worrying about getting to a truck stop and being able to find a parking spot so you don't have to stop early to hunt for somewhere to park for the night
@@moderngunguy3666 Yes…starting early will give you more chances of finding a parking spot at the end of your day. And you won’t miss any beautiful sunrise ms. 😃
You have to restart personal conveyance after every time you stop or else it will kick you into drive on your hours so anytime you get back in your truck restart personal convenience
@@moderngunguy3666 Yes! Can be a costly mistake!
🚚If you are interested in driving for Crete Carrier, please call Recruiting at 1-800-998-2221. If you decide it's a good fit for you, please use 'Kevin Sloan' and ‘SLOKEV’ (our referral code).

@@robertgunther7191 Awwww…thank you so much!!! We really appreciate that!!! 🥰 Hope you get accepted and have a wonderful career at Crete!!! Let us know!
Kevin seemed a little tired this morning when I seen him in Jeffersonville ohio lol
LOL...you are very observant!! He said he didn't get a good night's sleep. Sorry, we didn't get to meet you in person!!! Next time come say hello!!! Have a good trip, wherever you are heading today!!!
You guys got me into trucking, hope to meet you sometime!
@TheJoyofTrucking lol I talked to him a few minutes about the PTSD wrap on my truck. Yea he looked exhausted.. I hate them nights.
Thanks for the ride and info❤️
Why are you answering any questions?
Really? 15 minutes on this crap
There is vacation pay, but they dont offer traditional vacation time off.
Good advice on your process to drop empty, makes sense.
I'm parked 2 trucks Over from you
All I'll say ohio loves lol
Oh man!! Darnit! Next time come over and say hello!!! We love meeting our subscribers!!!! Wherever you are heading today...have a good ride!!!
man you just gotta put NYC as a whole (plus long island and whatever other BS in that area) on your do not fly list. i been too a few places in Texas and Michigan that saw me having to go into residential to make the delivery but they were no where NEAR as stressful as this looked. Hamtramck was probably the worst of them but overall I'd probably be willing to go back there though especially compared to this!
Red dye is for non taxed fuel for off road
You can pay for tickets roadside in nyc
What sticker?Can I buy one from officer right there? After all it’s all about the Benjamins
hi thanks for the nice view it is good to see you both
Love mine in American truck simulator 🚛, while its not the real thing maybe one day if i stay interested on trucking
Thanks for sharing that.
He didn’t need her licence that is a 4th amendment violation, I wish folks would understand they can ask, but you can say no, but he will probably get an ego and find something wrong just to be a DB.
Flying Jay too
that is strange safety wouldn't know who to ask why the sticker and paper wasn't there but from what i've experienced and from my opinion of big companies like Crete. i'm not the slightest surprised, but that doesn't mean it isn't strange. and that citation might not add as many points as my fender bender (first traffic violation), or the driving in a restricted lane up in the North East cuz i got cocky, lol and just another thing i've experienced. company terminal mechanic shops weren't always a good experience for me. this just makes it look like the flaw of that are bleeding into the safety divisions of some companies out there. not a good sign.
I have driven Volvo and Freightliner many times. Now I drive Kenworth T680 and I feel like I am driving a real truck! I like Paccar mx-13 engine sound and performance. The door step is so well thought out that getting into the vehicle is very easy. 42x80 bed is the crucial point. 😄
They sell good beef jerky that's made by Robertson. Comes with a screw on lid and the jars can be reused. I've been buying this brand of jerky for 50 years, not always from Love's

Unprofessional to shift the blame on them forgetting to put the sticker on, when the driver is clearly required by law to have his paper work in order before participating in any trip… I think I caught that the inspection was completed in July and you’re wishing the officer a happy thanksgiving, meaning it’s end of November, so four months later and the driver still hasn’t caught he is driving on an expired sticker. That’s just inexcusable.
Is there Harley parking!??!

@@TheJoyofTrucking How bout it!??!
Happy Campers and Truckers are the “Oil and Water” of Americas Highways. One is out for pleasure that seldom drives long distances or has little or no familiarity with Interstate issues, and the other that deals daily with Interstate traffic throughout the country. Driving a truck is not considered a vacation, it’s a livelihood.
How many miles on the truck
How bout non of ya business...tax collectors thats all highway patrol is now...harassing the working man while hundreds of felons and moving violations drive by
I am debating how to get my CDL. I am thinking about going through a trucking companies' school. For a 1st year rookie OTR solo driver, they offer .35 per mile. Is this standard?
@@johnnyreno7200 That’s very low. What are they ‘charging’ for school? How long do you have to stay to pay it off?
@@TheJoyofTrucking it's like 7k. You have a year to pay it off
@TheJoyofTrucking I can go to a trade school where it's about 1500 bucks but they offer no work just recruiters that come in. I have spoken to you guys before about something similar. I'll be 64 in a couple of weeks. I'm just afraid if I go to the trade school, I'll wait forever because they'll choose the young guys first
@@johnnyreno7200 Our opinion would be trade school for cheap. We feel pretty confident you’ll get hired by a starter company. Less financial risk and you’ll make much better cpm!!! And they might even reimburse you! And if you don’t like trucking and leave before the year is up you won’t owe $7,000.
@@TheJoyofTrucking ok, thanks so much, I guess I'll go with that! Thanks for responding! Be safe out there!
howdy why was the queen (wife) needed to identify herself?
