Do you prefer being a Local driver or an OTR driver?
I personally prefer being a local driver and I would never be an OTR driver. I like to come home every night and love my predictable schedule. 🚛⛽️

What challenges did you face as a new truck driver?
As new truck driver, a challenged I faced was getting low-balled in pay. 💰
I overcame this obstacle by waiting to get 9 months experience and applied for a company paying their employees $100k annually. 😁

Challenges a truck driver face every day
What’s your biggest challenge you face as a truck driver every day? 🚛
And how do you overcome them? 🤔
Just as this video is talking about, I would say other drivers are my biggest challenge. I work and deliver fuel in the greater Los Angeles and these drivers can drive erratic most of the time. 🚛 ⛽️
Lucky for me I start at 3pm, so by 8pm traffic dies down until the end of my shift at 4am. 🕓
But I use defense driving and increase my following distance by 5 seconds to overcome this particular challenge. 👀

How do you stay healthy as a truck driver?
Here’s a short YouTube video providing some tips on how to eat healthy as a truck driver. 🥗
As a truck driver myself, I take my health seriously and maintain a militant exercise schedule and diet. 🏋️♀️
I know it can be difficult as an OTR driver, but as a local fuel tanker driver I get the luxury of coming home every night. 🚛
The way I stay healthy is I exercise everyday for about 30-45 minutes before I go to work. 💪
My meals, consist of oatmeal, egg whites, tuna, salad, and vegetables. 🥦
I tend to eat a lot of snacks while I’m working, but my potato chips are organic, cheese sticks, trail mix, etc. I do indulge in pastries, but the balance I keep allows me to eat unhealthy snacks from time to time. Exercising is key to my health. 🔑
