Out from behind the camera: Big Rig Videos’ Chris Fiffie
Florida-based videographer and former truck driver Chris Fiffie has been turning heads over the past year with his vid series of Rolling CB Interviews with owner-operators.
September 24, 2014
Fiffie, picture above by Cheri Kimball at the Mid-America Trucking Show, has found a home covering the trucking world, he says. He got his start in video production with an early interest in cameras that ultimately led to a small business producing television commercials and variety of other work. Before that, though, he needed seed money to invest in the necessary equipment, well before digital video made that at least somewhat less cumbersome of a prospect. “I looked for a job,” he says, and “worked for my father as a mechanic” in his auto-repair shop in South Florida. Cue then a story in the local newspaper comparing various income numbers for particular professions, in which truck drivers and machine operators ranked quite high. “My next-door neighbor was a truck driver,” Fiffie adds. “I went for a ride with him once and then got my Class A, taking the money I made and buying video equipment with it.” Over four or five years, he’d built his arsenal “and was able to transition to a business doing video production.” Along the way, though, he never lost the interest in trucks and trucking. In 2006 he moved from South Florida to the West Coast of Florida to a small town with no video services. But “I wanted to explore,” he says. “I thought I’d take a driving job,” his first operating a Peterbilt, a 2006 triaxle 379 with 500 horses. “I really got hooked.” His video business hit hard locally by the economic crash a few years later, a friend mentioned the Chrome Shop Mafia was looking for “someone to come up to the Mid-America Trucking Show in 2012” to film the show for a DVD. That’s where the 4 State Trucks DVD series got its start, and with all the extra footage, Fiffie took to Youtube and Facebook, further developing ideas like the Rolling CB Interviews series.
