    I think if it's something you would like to do then do it. But do it in a way that is interesting and informative.

    You can do different series of.
    videos. Like one for what is required for licensing legal requirements all the paperwork that's involved recruiters Driving School cost up front etc. You could do a series on different states and regulations and CSA and PSP and what drivers are responsible for. You could describe how to keep your paperwork, dealing with dispatchers what happens during a DOT Stop how to handle law enforcement not to pick up hitchhiker's, passengers. You can probably do a segment on lot lizards chicken coops and the Asian persuasion, too.

    But you really should do a series on the old-time truckers how the business used to be deregulation Outlaw truckers and how trucking used to be a Brotherhood how new drivers can incorporate some of that into their driving driving with courtesy... It's really endless.

    But I agree with with the other poster said. You have to speak plain English and be well spoken. No offense to anybody but as soon as I hear somebody with some crazy accent I have to struggle to try to understand the words or where they speak so fast they just sound like they're crazy to me.

    And you should share any things that drivers don't ever see, like a 79 GMC Astro with an 8 V 92 in it. And tell their hiney to say thank you every time they sit down and enjoy air ride and even air conditioning and power steering for that matter.

    I haven't seen many that entertain me. I'm only good for about 2 minutes before I stop watching. Can't stand long YouTube videos.

    If you guys want YouTube entertainment try police pursuits in Los Angeles. I love them.

    Only problem I have is with camera work. If it shakes and moves non stop I get motion sickness.
    And be straight to the point, stick with the subject at hand. I will do my own ramblings going down the road, thanks.
