Why I Drive for FedEx

Hey everyone! In today’s video, I’m bringing you along with me to work so you can find out what I do when I’m not making “horrible YouTube videos that get no views.” 😂 Spoiler: I’m a truck driver for FedEx!

The Night Shift Life

One of the toughest parts of my job is working nights. I’m on a rotating schedule, which means I get a call every day at 4 p.m. to find out when my shift starts. It could be 6 p.m., 8 p.m., 9 p.m., or even 10 p.m., and I just have to roll with it. It makes having a normal routine pretty tough, but hey, gotta make that money!

A Day (or Night) in the Life

After getting the call, I head out to the truck and go through my pre-trip routine. I log into my electronic logbook, check the truck, and wait for the air to pump into the transmission (a fancy way of saying I wait until it’s safe to drive). My run started at 10:30 p.m., but I got called in early, which was great!

Today’s trip was to Cedar Rapids, Iowa—about 3 hours and 20 minutes each way. I even got to take two double-loaded trailers back, which doesn’t happen often. It was a long night, but I made it back to Chicago safe and sound around 5:47 a.m. Tired as heck, but it was finally time for bed.

Why I Stick With It

Driving for FedEx isn’t always easy, but it gives me the freedom to pursue my YouTube dreams during the day. Balancing both can be rough, but I’m still grinding, still pushing, and still chasing that goal of making it big on YouTube.
