    Yeah its a shame though that our society has forced us to be so cautious. #### layers lol I love watching videos. I have been watching Allie Knight daily lately. She drives for Jim Palmer. Even though she is super catious I just wonder if I would risk my job over it

    I subscribed to her mostly to hear her voice. If I close my eyes real tight her voice sounds about 92% like one of my exgirlfriends. I know that is so bad on so many levels lol.

    Her videos could be more informative to me anyway. I would like to hear miles that day, issues, etc... I am going to Orientation September 26. For a company with only 200 Tractors they do orientations every week. That seems like a lot or maybe the are also doing it for Wil Trans since thats the parent company.

    The kind of trucking videos i like will show nuts and bolts of 'how to' stuff not just cam time of the person's face blah blah blahhing for 18 minutes. At least with her she will mount the cam on different surfaces to get different angles, she does a great job of editing and adding music, fast forwarding etc. That's the stuff I want to get into next to cut out some boring stuff from mine.

    Another good one who is on this site also is Indiana Jack. He will mount his cam all over the truck and talk about things. There is a really hot European girl who dashcams as well. She does a whole lot of 'how to' stuff all while looking hella hawt.

    As far as Allie, I would love to see the nuts and bolts 'how to' regarding reefer stuff, I think we've seen and heard just about enough "Weigh, No Weigh!"

    I generally shoot my video when I'm on break, I do very little editing myself. What little I do is merging the various parts together, that's it. I spend less than an hour a day total on average.

    Some youtubers spend a lot of time editing and making stories,, but I guess it all depends on how much downtime you have. If your doing a lot of waiting to load/unload, guess you got to have something to do.
