    She starts talking about this guy at about 2:10

    How does one make that little bit of money on the road?

    I would have made the video when shut down. Posting this could get her a distracted driving ticket.

    To many drivers blame the companies for their poor choices...

    Yeah, I don't get why people do this stuff while driving. I don't see what's the big deal with waiting until you're stopped somewhere, but seems every trucker with a youtube channel is doing it like this for some reason.

    What causes someone to make only $57 in a week? refusing loads, or stopping too much, etc? Also how did she run 5000 miles and still get a small check? I don't get how these numbers are being worked out.

    LOL @ living off a cash advance.

    Whether you make $500 a week or $5,000 a week if ya living beyond ya means or can't follow a budget, you're always gonna be broke.

    Been there doing it, mega carriers knows we are struggling that's why they offer them a cash advance, i don't see nothing wrong with doing the video while she was driving nd she wasn't distracted so yall stop ######## about that. Poor choice but you gotta make a living.
