    I know this is old but I have to much time on my hands right now and got caught up on the youtube drama going on with rvt. anybody else know what's going on now? I guess it seems we may see some legal and civil litigation. Even heard just commenting on a rvt vid got someone in trouble . claimed she was a co-conspirator.

    Some bored idiot drivers are trying to cause him trouble. Reminds me of a certain political party. RVT is bringing in the law. Pressing charges.
    Some people just have to cause trouble.

    I never really cared for his stuff and as soon as I found out he sold cars and real estate I knew what kind of person he was. I figured live and let live. Didn't agree with him charging newbies for free info.10 years ago he had a real estate blog where he called him self a real estate coach in one of them he compared himself to forest gump because he was going to ride out the storm in real estate but he ended up loosing his shirt I guess 3 million dollars in it.

    I quit you tube. I won’t tolerate political manipulation. I won’t tolerate censorship.
    Hard to remember all?
    The Canadian.
    The lease guy who had worked for Schneider. Volvo lease. Teaches how to lease successfully.
    There’s an old guy. Much of just talk. But has experience. Can ask him.
    Trucker Brown... definitely.
    The gal who walked from executive business. Drives for Prime.

    I wonder how Red is doing these days? Last I knew. He was hauling fuel in Wyoming. One statement I’ll never forget of his. He was in LA in the middle of the night. Said: This is like Atlanta in the middle of the day. .... hehe.... Ain’t nothing quite like LA

    I'm friends with Red. We worked at the same company in the NW. I left, he's still there. He's making big money pulling vans as an Independent Contractor or 1099 driver. The company we worked for is exactly as described in his videos. I was a company driver. The money he is making is similar to other teams at the company. He and his wife are team driving. Anyone watching his YT videos can be confident he is doing what he says he is doing. However, recognize RVT is not an average driver or average person. I describe him this way. If you took everything from him, handcuffed RVT and put him in a 55 gallon drum, then dropped that drum by parachute onto a small Pacific island and then came back in a year, he would probably be a millionaire, President of the island, and getting a bridge built to Australia. He has more ambition and determination than 10 men combined.
