Newbiedriver.com Review:
I just finished watching this video and my first thought is "Wow, this is great." This is a true, real-life and honest look at the lives of truckers; what motivates them, what pushes them to put another mile behind them; what drives them, so to speak. Byron, the first driver in the video, is a man after my own heart. He shows you how the "Call Back" game is played and absolutely nails it on the head with what he says about leaving, being home and diesel fever. The only unrealistic thing in this video is how all the trucks are sparkling clean, hehe.
This video touched me because it was so interesting to hear other drivers speak the thoughts that I have so often thought. One driver says that your "freedom can also be your prison." Amen. Another driver talks about the "narcotic lullaby" of a big diesel engine at night. I can totally relate to the driver with the moustache when he speaks about going from "one load to the next until years and years have passed by."
The music isn't anything I am familiar with, but love it anyway. I'm always a sucker for those truck drivin' songs. The footage seems to almost exclusively be west coast, also familiar to me. There is a lot of truck footage - of trucks in general and from behind the wheel.
This video presents the good and the bad, from a driver's perspective. Nothing is sugar coated and sweetened - but the good of the job is also represented right alongside the bad. I am going to pronounce this video a must see for anyone considering driving.
