  1. 0:01Man, listen.
  2. 0:04I got a question for everybody that's
  3. 0:06watching this video right now.
  4. 0:09I'm waiting to get into the dock and
  5. 0:10[ __ ] but
  6. 0:12it's I'm probably going to be a minute,
  7. 0:13so I'mma talk to y'all or whatever. Why
  8. 0:16would somebody want to walk away from a
  9. 0:18CDL job that's paying over 30 something
  10. 0:20dollars an hour? Think about it.
  11. 0:25Like, you got a you got a Class A CDL,
  12. 0:27you home every night.
  13. 0:30You feel me? You making decent pay.
  14. 0:33Why would somebody still want to leave?
  15. 0:39Well, today we going to talk about
  16. 0:41Central Transport.
  17. 0:44Today we going to talk about Central
  18. 0:45Transport because on the out from the
  19. 0:47outside looking in,
  20. 0:49people see that hourly rate and they
  21. 0:51automatically assume that, you feel me,
  22. 0:54you got a you got a great job or some
  23. 0:56[ __ ] like that though and that's not
  24. 0:57always the case. People don't understand
  25. 1:00that
  26. 1:01it's a lot of [ __ ] that come with
  27. 1:03earning that kind of money.
  28. 1:05This [ __ ] trying to idle out.
  29. 1:08People don't understand what comes with
  30. 1:10earning that kind of money
  31. 1:11>> [music]
  32. 1:11>> and [ __ ] we going to talk about the
  33. 1:14long days, the difficult deliveries, the
  34. 1:16dock work,
  35. 1:18uh [ __ ] the overtime situation and the
  36. 1:22pressure that just naturally come with
  37. 1:24working in LTL. So,
  38. 1:28and I know it's going to be some Central
  39. 1:29Transport drivers
  40. 1:31watching this video that's going to
  41. 1:32disagree with me and that's cool.
  42. 1:34That's cool because [ __ ] we all got our
  43. 1:36own opinion, but I guarantee you
  44. 1:39somebody I guarantee you somebody that's
  45. 1:41watching this video that work at Central

  64. 2:35that I know people talking about.
  65. 2:38Um
  66. 2:39we going to talk about Central
  67. 2:40Transport. [music]
  68. 2:42Um before we get all off to the negative
  69. 2:44[ __ ] I got to give [music] credit when
  70. 2:46credit is due, you feel me?
  71. 2:48Um Central Transport offer a lot of [ __ ]
  72. 2:50that drivers do be looking for. First
  73. 2:52off,
  74. 2:53they they going to offer [music] you
  75. 2:54some local work, you know what I'm
  76. 2:56saying? Yeah.
  77. 2:58Everybody
  78. 3:00everybody [music]
  79. 3:01probably want to make some good money
  80. 3:03locally so that they can get home and
  81. 3:05[ __ ] like that.
  82. 3:07>> [music]
  83. 3:08>> That's one of the major benefits,
  84. 3:10especially if you got a family, [music]
  85. 3:13kids and [ __ ] pets. That's that's a big
  86. 3:16benefit. I think he might be ready.
  87. 3:21>> [music]
  88. 3:24>> It's dry out here. Some water.
  89. 3:26But [music] um if you got kids and [ __ ]
  90. 3:28like that,
  91. 3:30um second though, like uh the money.
  92. 3:33Everybody want [music] the money.
  93. 3:35I want the money.
  94. 3:37Everybody want the money. So, to make
  95. 3:39some good ass money
  96. 3:40>> [music]
  97. 3:40>> and go home,
  98. 3:43that's a plus.
  99. 3:45How can you be mad at that?
  100. 3:47Um I make [music] over 30 something
  101. 3:48dollars an hour.
  102. 3:50I ain't going to give y'all exactly how
  103. 3:52much [music] I make, but I I'm I'm in
  104. 3:54the 30s
  105. 3:55an hour, you feel me? I'm still working
  106. 3:57my [music] way up though.
  107. 3:59I'll say like mid-30s.
  108. 4:01Um
  109. 4:03and that's coming from a previous job
  110. 4:06where [music] it was [ __ ] I was making
  111. 4:09$27 an hour and then before that I was
  112. 4:12making [music] $25 an hour, so
  113. 4:16I'm getting up there, you feel me? I'm
  114. 4:17getting up there, but at the same time
  115. 4:19these still [music]
  116. 4:21three different trucking jobs that I'm
  117. 4:23talking about, you feel me?
  118. 4:25So
  119. 4:27they keep trying to send me like right
  120. 4:29now they sending me [music] somebody
  121. 4:31else workload. That's That's one thing
  122. 4:35that I don't like about it. Sending me
  123. 4:37somebody else [ __ ] though like
  124. 4:39and then like I said, I said in one of
  125. 4:41the other videos
  126. 4:42>> [music]
  127. 4:42>> when
  128. 4:44I need help, they can't send nobody, but
  129. 4:46they always trying to send me and just
  130. 4:48throw it on me though. Don't call and be
  131. 4:49like, "Hey, such and such having some
  132. 4:51issues or whatever or such and such
  133. 4:53ain't going to have the space or
  134. 4:54whatever.
  135. 4:55Um we really appreciate [music]
  136. 4:57if you could pick that." They just throw
  137. 4:58it throw that [ __ ] at you though. What
  138. 5:00like let you need some help though.
  139. 5:02Let you [music] need some help.
  140. 5:04But anyways
  141. 5:06back to the video. So coming from
  142. 5:07[music]
  143. 5:08making [ __ ] $27 an hour basically [ __ ]
  144. 5:11that's like a raise to me
  145. 5:13anyway.
  146. 5:14Um
  147. 5:16Sometimes a job look different
  148. 5:19when you applying, you feel me? And
  149. 5:22when you when you apply for a job or
  150. 5:24whatever it's it look different when you
  151. 5:26get there and [music] you actually
  152. 5:28working the [ __ ] job and [ __ ]
  153. 5:30though like everything don't be the
  154. 5:31same.
  155. 5:33Nothing is the same about from the
  156. 5:35moment you applied and the day you
  157. 5:37started [music] when you been there 6
  158. 5:39months.
  159. 5:40You know what I mean? Does that make
  160. 5:41sense?
  161. 5:42Everything change.
  162. 5:44A lot of [ __ ] change.
  163. 5:46Like the way
  164. 5:47the way [ __ ] talk to you. [ __ ]
  165. 5:50The way your days get structured, the
  166. 5:52[ __ ]
  167. 5:55[ __ ]
  168. 5:56People grow on you, people grow against
  169. 5:58[music] you.
  170. 6:00All different types of [ __ ]
  171. 6:02So
  172. 6:04um I've been working here 6 months now
  173. 6:07and I seen a lot of [ __ ] change in those
  174. 6:096 months though. Like too much [ __ ] then
  175. 6:12change.
  176. 6:15And then when you
  177. 6:17when you spend as much time at work like
  178. 6:19I do, you start asking yourself [music]
  179. 6:23is this something that you can do for
  180. 6:25the next 5 to 10 years? And there's guys
  181. 6:29that at Central Transport at my terminal
  182. 6:31right now that's been doing this [ __ ]
  183. 6:33for 16, 17, some guys 20 years, some
  184. 6:35guys 25 years, some 6 years and I just
  185. 6:39asked them like, "Damn,
  186. 6:40>> [music]
  187. 6:41>> what made you want to do this that long
  188. 6:43though? Like you ain't thought about
  189. 6:44getting into nothing else? Why Central
  190. 6:47Transport that long?" And all they can
  191. 6:48tell me is that, "Oh, it's local. I get
  192. 6:50to go home. I get to be with my family
  193. 6:52and I've got this many raises and
  194. 6:57and different strokes for different
  195. 6:58folks. That's the way I see it though.
  196. 7:00But like this
  197. 7:01it's not something that
  198. 7:03I don't give a [ __ ]
  199. 7:05It's not something that I feel like I
  200. 7:07can do
  201. 7:08for
  202. 7:10hell, 5 or 10 years. Let's just be
  203. 7:12honest, man.
  204. 7:14Like
  205. 7:15and not to badmouth the company though,
  206. 7:17but it's
  207. 7:20it's really honestly like a prison
  208. 7:21sentence if you ask me.
  209. 7:24Yeah, yeah,
  210. 7:25yeah, somebody might get mad that I said
  211. 7:27that, but [ __ ] it is what it is. It's
  212. 7:30it's
  213. 7:315 5 to 10
  214. 7:33Central Transport?
  215. 7:35[ __ ]
  216. 7:37But back to what I was saying though,
  217. 7:39um
  218. 7:41let's talk about the workload itself and
  219. 7:43[ __ ] though and everything you got to do
  220. 7:46working at Central Transport, man. Like
  221. 7:51I'm me personally, I want to start with
  222. 7:54the fact that I always got to
  223. 7:56um, accommodate somebody else, man. Like
  224. 8:00picking up like they they just sent me
  225. 8:02somebody else's
  226. 8:03somebody else's load, you know what I'm
  227. 8:05saying?
  228. 8:06But,
  229. 8:09it ain't about the work for me. It's
  230. 8:12about
  231. 8:13when I need help,
  232. 8:16who really going to help me?
  233. 8:19It ain't been nobody there to help me
  234. 8:21and [ __ ] don't want cuz this [ __ ] can
  235. 8:22get overwhelming. Um [ __ ] the freight,
  236. 8:26the customers, dealing with
  237. 8:28disrespectful ass people.
  238. 8:30Um
  239. 8:32that's just one thing though, man. Like,
  240. 8:34we got to talk about
  241. 8:36[ __ ] not getting overtime. Like, for a
  242. 8:39for you can get the overtime, but guess
  243. 8:41what you did to get the overtime though.
  244. 8:43Like,
  245. 8:44you don't bust your you don't bust your
  246. 8:46head.
  247. 8:47You don't you don't bust your head to
  248. 8:49get the overtime.
  249. 8:53You got to do the dock work. Man, like,
  250. 8:56let's keep it real though. Like, you
  251. 8:57don't drove all day and then you got to
  252. 8:59go and work on a dock, bro?
  253. 9:03You know what I did 2 days ago, bro? Was
  254. 9:06it yesterday? Was No, it was 2 days ago.
  255. 9:08Or was it yesterday? I think it might
  256. 9:10have been yesterday.
  257. 9:12I drove back to the terminal after a
  258. 9:14long day.
  259. 9:16I parked this [ __ ] in the dock
  260. 9:19and I went to sleep probably like 20
  261. 9:22minutes with the truck running with the
  262. 9:24AC on.
  263. 9:25I'm just like, damn, and I got to go
  264. 9:27work this dock, bro?
  265. 9:30But, it's constant though. Like, in and
  266. 9:32out the truck, in and out the truck,
  267. 9:34signing papers all day
  268. 9:36and [ __ ] like that. And I
  269. 9:38I ain't no lazy ass dude though. Like,
  270. 9:40that's the that's the thing though.
  271. 9:41Like, I get my ass up. I go to the gym
  272. 9:43and [ __ ] though. Like, I work out. I
  273. 9:44ain't never been lazy. I got a hell of a
  274. 9:46work ethic and [ __ ] though. But, like,
  275. 9:48some [ __ ] just get old.
  276. 9:50And dealing with people, dealing with
  277. 9:54the BS that you deal with on a
  278. 9:56day-to-day basis.
  279. 9:58So, like, back to what I was saying, the
  280. 10:01the long hours itself and [ __ ] though.
  281. 10:03That's that that's already enough. You
  282. 10:06know what I'm saying? So, then to add on
  283. 10:07dock work and then supposed not get paid
  284. 10:10until after 55 hours.
  285. 10:13That's a lot right there. So,
  286. 10:17just just a few of those alone is enough
  287. 10:20for a driver to quit because he feel
  288. 10:22like he being slaved and [ __ ] though,
  289. 10:23man.
  290. 10:24Like
  291. 10:26somebody said that I probably could get
  292. 10:28fired from my videos and [ __ ] though,
  293. 10:30but I I feel like this is
  294. 10:32it's a outlet for me, you feel me? It's
  295. 10:34a outlet for anybody, you know what I'm
  296. 10:36saying? Where you can vent and be
  297. 10:38yourself and [ __ ] though and explain
  298. 10:40what's going on in your world. I don't
  299. 10:41feel like somebody should be fired for
  300. 10:44keeping it real, you feel me? Because
  301. 10:46guess what these companies going to do?
  302. 10:47They going to lie to you.
  303. 10:49They going to lie straight to your
  304. 10:50[ __ ] face. They going to tell
  305. 10:52you all how good it is. You going to
  306. 10:55have trucker appreciation week. They
  307. 10:56going to halfway appreciate your ass for
  308. 10:59that day.
  309. 11:00Yeah, halfway through that day they
  310. 11:01going to appreciate you.
  311. 11:03Um yeah, they going to you know what I'm
  312. 11:05saying? Like let's just keep it G. I got
  313. 11:07into trucking for something different
  314. 11:09and I've been
  315. 11:12I've been ready for something different
  316. 11:13from this or whatever, but I got into
  317. 11:15trucking for some different [ __ ] a
  318. 11:16different experience, a different love
  319. 11:18for this [ __ ] And
  320. 11:24this [ __ ] be tough, boy. I ain't even
  321. 11:26lying to you, this [ __ ] be tough.
  322. 11:28But like tho- those some of the reasons
  323. 11:30why I personally see people quit, you
  324. 11:34know what I'm saying? I don't I don't
  325. 11:35seen and heard about other terminals
  326. 11:37closing down,
  327. 11:39you know why? Because they can't they
  328. 11:41can't keep nobody, man. So, why we going
  329. 11:43to have a whole terminal open? You know
  330. 11:45what they doing? When they they only got
  331. 11:49they only got a few [ __ ] drivers,
  332. 11:50they might as well close the terminal
  333. 11:52because [ __ ] we ain't got enough they
  334. 11:54ain't got enough workers. Not my
  335. 11:55terminal, but other terminals.
  336. 11:57You know what I'm saying? Like
  337. 11:59this [ __ ] getting tough.
  338. 12:02This [ __ ] getting tough though, man. I I
  339. 12:04I I hear so much [ __ ] from other people
  340. 12:07though at other terminals about Central
  341. 12:10Transport. And like I said earlier in
  342. 12:13the video, I'm not here to bad-mouth the
  343. 12:15company, but we want to talk about
  344. 12:18[ __ ] why drivers are quitting.
  345. 12:25But on the real though,
  346. 12:27do you know how much money I miss out
  347. 12:29on?
  348. 12:32>> Pull up a little bit.
  349. 12:33>> I'm going to be out here all day, I
  350. 12:34ain't going to lie.
  351. 12:36You know how much money I miss out on?
  352. 12:40If
  353. 12:42I'm bringing home
  354. 12:44probably
  355. 12:451,500, 1,600 dollars a week.
  356. 12:49If I'm bringing that [ __ ] home a week,
  357. 12:51right?
  358. 12:53And
  359. 12:54overtime after 55 hours, do you know
  360. 12:57what I could be bringing home if
  361. 12:58overtime was after like
  362. 13:01after like a 40 piece?
  363. 13:03If overtime was after a 40 piece, bro,
  364. 13:07think about that.
  365. 13:09Keep it Keep it real, bro. Like, we got
  366. 13:1115 hours already automatically just
  367. 13:13[ __ ] missing, bro. Like,
  368. 13:16that's bank, bro.
  369. 13:18That's bank, bro. That [ __ ] gone. Like,
  370. 13:20you can throw that [ __ ] away.
  371. 13:22Like,
  372. 13:24that's a lot. You know what you can do
  373. 13:27with 15 hours of pay? Overtime that's
  374. 13:30gone.
  375. 13:32You know how many What How many bills
  376. 13:34you can cover with that?
  377. 13:36So,
  378. 13:38I ain't going to lie though.
  379. 13:39It was It was a guy at my terminal. I
  380. 13:42never even tell nobody at my terminal
  381. 13:44that I record these videos or whatever.
  382. 13:46This guy, he had just started and [ __ ]
  383. 13:49Anyway, shout out to bro or whatever.
  384. 13:53He um
  385. 13:54he said he was
  386. 13:57looking at He was looking for
  387. 14:00something about Central Transport
  388. 14:04on YouTube or whatever,
  389. 14:06and he said he found my video.
  390. 14:11But,
  391. 14:12[ __ ] It's like, damn, for real?
  392. 14:16Said he found my video.
  393. 14:19Oh.
  394. 14:20Camera fell.
  395. 14:27Put y'all right here. This is crazy.
  396. 14:32But yeah, man, that's a
  397. 14:33that's a lot of [ __ ] money gone, bro.
  398. 14:38Just for my [ __ ] company to be
  399. 14:41selfish, bro. Like, working the [ __ ] out
  400. 14:43of you.
  401. 14:44And we got this
  402. 14:45uh
  403. 14:46city driver group group chat or
  404. 14:48whatever, and they was
  405. 14:50texting in there today talking about all
  406. 14:52of the things that corporate looking out
  407. 14:56for, like they watching us and [ __ ] like
  408. 14:58that. Talking about they going to be
  409. 15:00reviewing certain [ __ ]
  410. 15:02I responded in the chat, and I was like,
  411. 15:05it's a lot more [ __ ] corporate need to
  412. 15:08be reviewing
  413. 15:11instead of worrying about
  414. 15:14this small [ __ ]
  415. 15:17They worrying about the wrong [ __ ] man.
  416. 15:19We worried about [ __ ] too. I said
  417. 15:21corporate need to be reviewing some
  418. 15:22other [ __ ] They need to be reviewing
  419. 15:26[ __ ]
  420. 15:28in general and [ __ ] though, trying to
  421. 15:30see
  422. 15:31if they can [ __ ] give out
  423. 15:33[ __ ] a raise, bro. Like,
  424. 15:35let's keep it real.
  425. 15:38Review review the fact that y'all put
  426. 15:41[ __ ] on lunch while we driving.
  427. 15:46Review [ __ ] like that.
  428. 15:50I just feel like they not
  429. 15:54I just feel like, [ __ ] most of the time
  430. 15:56they not giving us what they should be
  431. 15:57giving us as company drivers and [ __ ]
  432. 15:59though, bro. Like, this [ __ ] just don't
  433. 16:01be cool. But they want to
  434. 16:04stick they neck out to do you wrong and
  435. 16:06[ __ ] though, bro. Like, overwork you
  436. 16:09and [ __ ] [ __ ] take [ __ ] away
  437. 16:11from you, don't do this, don't do that
  438. 16:13and [ __ ]
  439. 16:16They talking about you can't make an you
  440. 16:18can't you can't make no attempt at a
  441. 16:20stop whatever if you ain't been there
  442. 16:22more than a [ __ ] a half hour or
  443. 16:23some [ __ ] like that though like
  444. 16:27At my terminal they tell us don't even
  445. 16:28sit at no damn place
  446. 16:30more than 15 or 20 minutes. They talking
  447. 16:32about now you got to wait 30 minutes and
  448. 16:34[ __ ] though to you got to wait 30
  449. 16:37minutes
  450. 16:38before you can even mark an attempt on a
  451. 16:40[ __ ] spot. You done sat there
  452. 16:41and wasted all of that damn time for no
  453. 16:43reason. [ __ ] though but hey, let me get
  454. 16:46in here and get this [ __ ] off my truck
  455. 16:47and [ __ ] I don't I don't waited long
  456. 16:48enough. I've been sitting here waiting
  457. 16:50talking to y'all and now I'm talking
  458. 16:52about the wait time and [ __ ] though. So
  459. 16:53let me get this [ __ ] up off my truck
  460. 16:55real quick.
  461. 17:02Just keeping it real though.
  462. 17:04I just got done working on my lunch.
  463. 17:07Still my lunch. Probably got like four I
  464. 17:09mean like
  465. 17:11six more minutes left on my lunch.
  466. 17:14Soon as I got up truck from talking to
  467. 17:16y'all to go and take care of that little
  468. 17:18business
  469. 17:20threw me on lunch. You know what I'm
  470. 17:22saying? But they know like
  471. 17:25you got to know like I just pulled up to
  472. 17:26a little spot. You feel me? Like
  473. 17:34threw me right on lunch, man.
  474. 17:39That's crazy though. Five and a half
  475. 17:41more minutes on lunch, man. And I'm
  476. 17:42working though like
  477. 17:46Don't make no sense to me, man.
  478. 17:52So back to what I was saying though like
  479. 17:55Turn the AC on a little bit.
  480. 17:59Is it
  481. 18:01better opportunities out here? Is it
  482. 18:03better pay out here? Is it better
  483. 18:04situations out here? Absolutely. Like I
  484. 18:07know it's jobs out here.
  485. 18:10I know it's jobs out here where
  486. 18:13I ain't got to do no dock work where I
  487. 18:15ain't got to touch no freight. You know
  488. 18:16what I'm saying? Like I'm a grinder
  489. 18:18though like I ain't with the lazy [ __ ]
  490. 18:19Like I'm I'm I'm really a true grinder.
  491. 18:22Yeah, there's better opportunities,
  492. 18:24but I feel like
  493. 18:26one thing about
  494. 18:28a job in general though, like it's going
  495. 18:30to be some BS anywhere you go. You can
  496. 18:32go somewhere that's paying more than
  497. 18:34Central Transport and you don't got to
  498. 18:35touch no dock or you ain't got to touch
  499. 18:37no forklift and
  500. 18:39you know, you can get paid, you know, at
  501. 18:41at 40 or 45 hours, you know, you can get
  502. 18:45overtime after 40 or 45 hours. I'm
  503. 18:47pretty sure all of that [ __ ] though, but
  504. 18:49like it's so much other
  505. 18:52stuff that you probably going to have to
  506. 18:53deal with that's going to come with, you
  507. 18:55know, getting that much money.
  508. 18:58I had a driver that that told me, you
  509. 19:00know, I'm saying that he working, he
  510. 19:02getting paid $39 an hour. That's
  511. 19:05that's decent, you know, I'm saying, but
  512. 19:07he said it's so much other [ __ ]
  513. 19:08though. He said he touched his phone one
  514. 19:10time and he had to beg them for his job.
  515. 19:15And let's just be real, bro. Central
  516. 19:17Transport don't They don't got no
  517. 19:19cameras, man. They don't be caring about
  518. 19:20that kind of [ __ ] though and I can't say
  519. 19:22that
  520. 19:23that a [ __ ] won't get in trouble
  521. 19:24for that though, but like
  522. 19:26it is what it is, man. Y'all know what's
  523. 19:28Y'all know what's going on.
  524. 19:31But like he was telling me though like
  525. 19:33they get good money, but they got to
  526. 19:34deal with so much other stress and [ __ ]
  527. 19:37though. He said he wish
  528. 19:38he worked for a company like Central
  529. 19:40Transport and I was like, "What?"
  530. 19:42He was just like, "Yeah."
  531. 19:44You know, I'm saying, but
  532. 19:47[ __ ] ain't always going to be sweet
  533. 19:48because you went to a different company,
  534. 19:50bro.
  535. 19:52Like
  536. 19:53it just always ain't going to be that
  537. 19:54sweet.
  538. 19:56But like
  539. 19:57the thing I I ask myself though like how
  540. 20:00long you going to be loyal to a company
  541. 20:02that's not really truly honestly being
  542. 20:04loyal to you, you feel me?
  543. 20:06Like how long can you do that [ __ ] Like
  544. 20:08how long would it work? And they got
  545. 20:12so much [ __ ] going on, man, like
  546. 20:15they got Saturday work like every 2 and
  547. 20:171/2 3 months and [ __ ] though, like
  548. 20:21but they just throw you on a schedule or
  549. 20:23it's a rotating schedule, you got to go
  550. 20:25to Chicago or some [ __ ] like that.
  551. 20:29My phone is calling my phone or [ __ ]
  552. 20:40But yeah, man, back to
  553. 20:43is Central Transport really a bad
  554. 20:45company to work for?
  555. 20:47I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bad
  556. 20:50company to work for, you know what I'm
  557. 20:52saying? It's
  558. 20:53It's pros and cons to working or being
  559. 20:56anywhere or being in any situation, I
  560. 20:58feel like.
  561. 21:00I don't feel like it's a
  562. 21:02a bad company. I feel like
  563. 21:05it's It's some
  564. 21:08some drivers that's cool with
  565. 21:11everything Central Tra- Like I said,
  566. 21:13[ __ ] been doing this [ __ ] for
  567. 21:14years.
  568. 21:16It's It's drivers that's cool with doing
  569. 21:18dock work. It's drivers that's cool with
  570. 21:20touching the freight and getting thrown
  571. 21:22on loads. It's drivers that's
  572. 21:25cool with P&D driving. It's You know
  573. 21:27what I'm saying? Like it's It's It's
  574. 21:29drivers who've been doing this [ __ ] for
  575. 21:31so long that that's all they know.
  576. 21:33That's what they used to and they never
  577. 21:35going to change. The [ __ ] going
  578. 21:36to retire from here, bro, like
  579. 21:39I'm not saying it's not a retiring
  580. 21:41company, but it ain't all that bad
  581. 21:44though either though. I'm not just going
  582. 21:47talk about the bad though. It is some
  583. 21:49good [ __ ] with the company though, man.
  584. 21:52For one [ __ ]
  585. 21:54[ __ ] always going to have
  586. 21:55something for you to do, bro.
  587. 21:57They always going to have something for
  588. 21:59you to do. Always. You can count on
  589. 22:01Central Transport to put you on the
  590. 22:03road.
  591. 22:05You know?
  592. 22:06You can count on them [ __ ] for
  593. 22:08sure.
  594. 22:09And I'm a felon, so
  595. 22:12I am I'm a felon. Them [ __ ]
  596. 22:14bro, they don't
  597. 22:16Unless you did something extremely
  598. 22:17crazy, bro, like they going to hire you
  599. 22:19or
  600. 22:21whatever, man.
  601. 22:23It's a place for you anywhere, though.
  602. 22:27But,
  603. 22:29this break is about to be over in like
  604. 22:3140 seconds.
  605. 22:36I don't necessarily think it's just
  606. 22:37straight up a bad place to work, though.
  607. 22:41Some people want to [ __ ] work their
  608. 22:43shift and go home and
  609. 22:45[ __ ] Some people don't care about
  610. 22:48the scheduling and all that other type
  611. 22:50of [ __ ]
  612. 22:53Would I would I quit Central Transport,
  613. 22:55though?
  614. 22:58If I got something that I just
  615. 23:02You feel me? If I got a job If I got a
  616. 23:04offer that I just
  617. 23:06couldn't deny, you feel me? Yeah, I
  618. 23:07would.
  619. 23:10I would.
  620. 23:11Uh somebody called me yesterday and
  621. 23:13offered me a job. It's some OTR [ __ ]
  622. 23:16But,
  623. 23:18it it seemed pretty smooth, though, too,
  624. 23:20though. I I've been thinking about it. I
  625. 23:22I asked them to give me a little second
  626. 23:23to think about it and [ __ ] though. If
  627. 23:24they fill the job, they fill the job,
  628. 23:26but most of the time if a [ __ ]
  629. 23:29want you to go OTR, bro, they got spots,
  630. 23:31bro. Like, they're not just
  631. 23:33filling spots like that.
  632. 23:40They just ain't doing that much, so I
  633. 23:42feel like it'll be there and [ __ ]
  634. 23:43though. But, it was Monday through
  635. 23:44Friday,
  636. 23:46basically covering the Midwest,
  637. 23:49Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
  638. 23:51Ohio, and [ __ ] It's some cool little
  639. 23:54[ __ ] I [ __ ] with that.
  640. 23:57I I wouldn't be mad at that.
  641. 24:01And he said you can have passengers and
  642. 24:04if you wanted to work a Saturday, you
  643. 24:05can work a Saturday or
  644. 24:08[ __ ] if you want to go home on a
  645. 24:09weekend, you can go home.
  646. 24:15Been thinking about that or whatever.
  647. 24:21A lot of these shits, though, like this
  648. 24:23route
  649. 24:25this route be a a difficult. Like, it
  650. 24:27can be annoying sometimes, but I do like
  651. 24:29how a lot of this [ __ ] is close by. Like
  652. 24:31y'all just watched me leave that place.
  653. 24:33I'm at another place right now.
  654. 24:36So.
  655. 24:43I'll look in here and I see what they
  656. 24:45got for us.
  657. 24:50It look like they got two skids, but
  658. 24:53you get in some of these places and they
  659. 24:55got
  660. 24:57They either got more or less. It could
  661. 24:59be one skid. Hell, it could be five.
  662. 25:02That'd be annoying though, too, though,
  663. 25:03because I'd be needing the space for
  664. 25:06other places and [ __ ] like that.
  665. 25:11It look like they might have some dock
  666. 25:13space open and [ __ ]
  667. 25:28You got to like hit this little
  668. 25:32joint to get buzzed in. I'm going to hit
  669. 25:33it with the tripod, you know.
  670. 25:48Check y'all out.
  671. 25:56I'm just going to open up the gate, you
  672. 25:58feel me?
  673. 26:11So, yeah, it look like we got two skids
  674. 26:13here at
  675. 26:15600 lb, so it's got to be at least 300 a
  676. 26:18piece.
  677. 26:19Obviously.
  678. 26:24After the gate opening up.
  679. 26:38>> But yeah, though, man.
  680. 26:40That's
  681. 26:42what I would say
  682. 26:44as to the reason of why
  683. 26:47uh
  684. 26:48people quit working for Central
  685. 26:49Transport, man. It's a lot of
  686. 26:52I mean, we just being real, man. We
  687. 26:54ain't bashing no company, man. We not
  688. 26:56bashing our employers and [ __ ] like
  689. 26:58that. It even Though it may it may look
  690. 26:59like that.
  691. 27:01Look, [ __ ]
  692. 27:03Why we living in a world that we can't
  693. 27:05keep it real in?
  694. 27:08Why, [ __ ]
  695. 27:09>> Just tell the truth, man.
  696. 27:18>> [ __ ] I'm going to park right here like
  697. 27:20this, you know what I mean? He wrong.
  698. 27:22But yeah, though, I feel like that's why
  699. 27:24drivers
  700. 27:25would quit Central Transport and
  701. 27:29[ __ ] consider
  702. 27:31another company.
  703. 27:34And I don't think it's nothing wrong
  704. 27:36with
  705. 27:37a driver
  706. 27:39telling the truth about
  707. 27:41his or her experiences.
  708. 27:44I don't know why people feel like
  709. 27:47they got to be scared to keep it real
  710. 27:49about a company and [ __ ] though, man, or
  711. 27:52keep it real about life in general, man.
  712. 27:59Fix ourselves up real quick.
  713. 28:02All right, we got it.
  714. 28:14But yeah, though, I feel like, man, we
  715. 28:15supposed to be able to keep it real
  716. 28:16about these companies and
  717. 28:18how they do us, what's fair, what ain't
  718. 28:20fair.
  719. 28:22[ __ ] why not?
  720. 28:25You might
  721. 28:27[ __ ] save somebody else from a buggy
  722. 28:29situation, or
  723. 28:31or put somebody in a better situation.
  724. 28:33Like I said, we not just bashing
  725. 28:35companies, man. When we happy, we happy.
  726. 28:37When we ain't, we ain't.
  727. 28:45That goes to anything.
  728. 29:08We got our next little stop. Already
  729. 29:10off. Yeah, I got a couple of them on me
  730. 29:12already. [ __ ] I got them.
  731. 29:14We got our next little stop, man. I'm
  732. 29:16finna go in here,
  733. 29:17grab these, go across the street, grab
  734. 29:19them, go down the street some more, and
  735. 29:20grab them, and
  736. 29:22try to get up out of here, man. We we we
  737. 29:24we really behind schedule right now,
  738. 29:26man. It's going on 3:00 p.m. and [ __ ]
  739. 29:28though. And I'm fine with that.
  740. 29:30I knew it was going to be a little
  741. 29:32longer day when I started, but
  742. 29:35it is what it is, though. I'm going to
  743. 29:37try to go
  744. 29:38to this little um
