    Nope. I am not. I stand by my statement. All Youtube drivers are worthless.

    Let me clairfy. The ones that actually do how to videos and teach are not the ones I am talking about. It is the morons that blog about themselves and actually believe people care what they think. The ones that are so self absorbed.

    You should bust his chops. Driving a semi on the road is not a job to take lightly and needs to be treated with respect. When do you bust his chops when he kills someone?
    You have to remember and remind yourself everyday you drive. These people on the road are just like you and I. They have families, wife's, kids. Everyone has problems in there life but you are a professional driver your supposed to be better then them. You follow the Smith system.
    Anytime I look at another driver who's got his hands on his phone while driving I get so upset. It just shows me what people think is more important. They got there priority's all screwed up. You see signs all the time texting can wait. And they are right. Whatever business you have on your phone can wait and if it's that important pull over.

    Keep loading up that brush...

    I don't consider myself self-absorbed, I do it simply as a way to entertain myself. If anyone else happens to like what I put on there, that's great. If they don't, no skin off my nose. There are a lot of people out there that are not drivers and are curious about what we do. Sometimes they want to learn something, sometimes they just want to see it. And not everyone has to teach some people just comment. I may do some educational ones in the future, perhaps, but for now since I'm new to the game, I'm just doing running commentary. I have no plans of being famous, like I said, it's just for fun. By the way, YouTube is just another medium, just like this forum is a medium, where people put down what they think. You may feel that nobody cares what I have to say, but couldn't that be said about what you're putting on here? I think almost everyone has something important to say once in awhile, no matter the medium.

    But yeah man Spotify. It plays music.

    I don't care what people think of what I have to say. I just type to pass the time and I am not so self absorbed to believe anything I say matters.

    It is one thing to answer people's questions about what we do. It is another to make a hour long video talking about yourself and making it look like you are the worlds best driver.

    I am good at what I do. I have taught a lot of guys face to face, I dont need to go and brag about myself and how good I think I am on youtube, just to get people to like me.

    You can take it or leave it, like it or hate it, watch it or not, doesn't matter to me, but here's basically what I do. And hopefully those in the general public can learn at least one tidbit out of each video:
