Breaking Silence: Struggles with Mental Health as a Black Man in Trucking | Transparency #trucking


🚨Transparent post:

I am tired and been tired for a while now but still going bc I’m built for this. But that doesn’t mean I don’t go through it. Trucking & Social Media alone is a lot, plus life outside of that. My mental & my health has declined hence the reason for my draw back on social media. I’m not here for sympathy but I feel…

I pushed my last load from Reno to Virginia when the sickness hit hard in 4-1-2020. I could not find a paying load anywhere after I delivered.
I had to dead head home to California luckily fuel was dirt cheap but I canceled my Insurance and hung it up. To be honest I don't know how you been able to survive w these rates but I commend you man you are a survivor God will tell you when and what to do keep your faith and know whatever happens God will pull you through it you will be ok your young and you have time on your side get some rest clear your mind tomorrow is another day. I'm a wh man and I remember being just as exhausted as you so don't think your race is hindering you. Keep grinding you'll be ok my friend because you are a hustler not a victim in this ,it's not your fault the economy is like this so grind on my friend don't give up unless you absolutely have to.

While I'm no longer in the business, I feel what you're saying. Between my full-time job, being the man of the house, and now tending to my elderly parents. My dad has dimentia, and mom is bedridden with COPD. It wears you out trying to keep it together. God made us for these purposes. Keep tour chin up and move forward with all faith in the One who brought you life, and you will persevere.

Don't let it bring you down. He is in control, and giving it ALL to Him will bring you through. Peace ✌️

Keep pushing brother!!!!!

❤ Hope you get feeling better soon. It’s hard being such an inspirational human being. But just know it’s men like you that are leading the way and making a difference and I am thankful to see your journey and know that hard working men are still out there, just busy!

@86redta

What the h*** does metal health have to do with? You've been a black man with truck driver. There is no race in truck driving. There is no racism in truck driving what are you talking about

@kylesanderson3598

Struggles are real right now. I dnt think race has anything to do with it. I’ve been a supporter of your channel for years man, all I can say is we’re all feeling it right now. I’m an o.o with a semi & I go through the same thing it’s been rough real rough lately. The stress alone is enough to walk but I’m like you I can’t we came to far. I guess what I’m trying to say is keep your head up man and it will get better it has to. God won’t let us go thro what we can’t handle man. Best of luck my man keep up the good work and focus on you and your health & family. God bless.
