Lots of the trucks on the road are equipped with dashcams facing forward, but a growing number of truckers have turned their cameras inward to create their own YouTube channels.

There are dozens of drivers on YouTube giving their opinions about everything from trucking regulations to truck stop chili and quite a few have attracted dedicated followings, with subscribers in the tens of thousands. The most popular even make appearances at trucking shows.

The videos are as varied as truckers themselves. Some are profane while others are G-rated. Some drivers like to rant against current and former employers, while others detail their personal lives. Some deliver tips for new truckers and others rail against the profession.

Most of the drivers also have social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) to supplement their videos. A few of the most popular even sell T-shirts and other swag.

A lot of the truckers on YouTube are in no great hurry to get to the point. . While some videos are focused on specific issues, others are long and meandering.. Lots of passing scenery, lots of musing about weather and road conditions and plenty of stream-of-consciousness commentary about, well, everything.

There’s no way to know how many viewers are also truckers, though, judging by the comments, there are quite a few. We’ve listed eight here that offer a good cross-section of material and points of view. Check them out.

Allie Knight
This quirky, self-described “weird chick from Boston” is no longer trucking, having traded in her Peterbilt (named “Lazarus”) for an RV, but she built the largest trucking-related video channel online. If your think all truckers are gruff middle-aged guys in flannel shirts, Allie Knight and her cat, Spike, will be a revelation.
