I definitely enjoy your content. Congratulations on your new truck.

Sorry bout your blowout KO. To check if a tire is a recap, there is an oval “race track” on the sidewall. If the inside of the oval is blank, it’s a virgin tire. If there is a brand of some sort inside the oval. It’s a recap. Hope that helps.

Only you know what’s best for you my brother. Congrats on the new truck🎉🎉#keepontucking

I've said it before. Consistency is better than the ups and downs of high paying freight. You've been consistent from day 1 and that's the way to be. Congratulations ✊🏿

Do your thing bro I wish you nothing but the best

Hey, what’s up brother. If you did what you think is best for you when you made the right decision. I’m an O/O with my own authority. I’ve had my own truck and authority for almost a year now it was definitely a struggle but I have learned a lot and things are getting better as I’m learning how to run a business so many people said I was stupid and that I should’ve stayed a company driver but I’m glad I didn’t listen. They are people who are afraid of a little struggle but nothing in life comes easy. Keep doing your thing brother and he if things get a little difficult, it will only get better with time.

Bro great intuitive info. Salute ..so much info and insight ..💯💯💯💯 not a hate bone in your body ….

Notifications gang ❤🎉🫶🏾🚛💰🔒 keep the content coming !!!! Stay safe driva

That’s the best move brother. People just hate on your success for no reason. I’ve been banking with my truck here at SNI. Also, I’ve had a couple of critical events for speeding in my first but I was going 77mph down hill. After that I was good.

Bro you did what was best for you! Just like i made the move that was best for me ✊🏾 As long as you happy, then let the naysayers be bitter

The way I see it brother. As long as it's working for you and you're happy. You made the right decision. Don't listen to the haters keep truckin!

McGriff Tire is a good place out of Decatur, AL. They have stores across the southeast. They did have one in Mobile. If you had a blowout empty, that's not good. Recaps are bad anyway, you see the damage it did. You need a new set of 8 matching tires will save a lot of worries and trouble.

I think you made a great decision, yes you do have to take risk,

I’m glad you got a freight liner and not that international💯‼️💪🏾👍🏾

Wutup bro.... I'm at the flying j in millersport ohio ... keep doing what u do, happy for u bro!!!

Good content bruh am going the same route

In Florida, go to Conlan Tire in Tampa Mulberry just south of Lakeland. Less than love's an TA

I had to have my router box that is in the dash replaced when I got new truck batteries. I had 144 critical events in 2 days for speed. The box was set for company driver, I never even got a call about it (sat and Sunday) Monday it was fixed.

Just a suggestion, how about putting a spare tire rack on the back of the cab.

They have to update your driver profile, once you switched trucks they more then likely set up your profile as a company truck profile instead of the regular OO, so that’s something your BOA should be able to change, mine was like that before.

May want to check the speed rating of the tires. If they ARE recaps, likely they are only rated for lower speeds. Going 70 may over heat them and cause the blow out

I have my own authority. Sence 2018 this time around. Those numbers that you are showing are not bad in this market they look better then some guys with there own authority. Keep it up, keep pushing forward

That shit is funny. The same exact thing happened to me on my very first load. blew the inside tire on the same axel on the same side and broke the Mudflap.

Bounce back📈

Yes, you made the right decision for owner-operator!! How much was your deposit for your truck through SFI? And have you thought about getting a fuel card through pilot? You only need your business name and EIN.

Great

The separate stamp in the side of the tires is the easiest way to identify a recap tire. Also, a spare tire rack would be a good investment.

Ain't such thing is failing! It's just a part of success 😊

🔥🔥🔥

They have your tablet setup like a company driver. Max speed for otr company is 65. OO max is like 78. And check the tire size front and back on a brand new Sfi truck and try to match the type and size. I just left tn to in 27k lbs and I’m about 9.9 mpg. Front tire looks smaller then what they order on the new truck I have

I saw you kick the tires on the new trailer. Get yourself a tire thumper or a hammer to check your tires. Recaps do not just blowout unless they are low on air.

Congrats bro another referal comming on 9th

You can buy sets of tires cheaper at a big dealership than at a truckstop more than likely. McGriff Tire in Decatur, Al.

don't buy tires from a truck stop. Recaps will work as long as you keep the pair air up, even no less than 10%.

Light Loads are good bro

To many critical sounds like they may have to take a look at it again. because they made a mistake connecting it.

Bro same thing happened to me i had tire blowout on my second load when i picked my truck from Schneider truck sales luckily we have tire discount at jbhunt I am saving to get them all replaced. I like your content keep it comin and stay safe

Hard work pays off ! Im living proof! Do you plan on having 2 truck notes??

Congratulations on your truck !! Did you have to do orientation over again ??

Schneiders discout is only good for Pilot and Flying Js. Loves is only $.05 off the gallon.

Hey.. not sure if it's still on..but Georgia has stopped all Fuel tax.. check...

Congrats! Best of luck on your endeavors. What's the name of the finance company you used?

Hey KO, Thanks for sharing your journey as a Schneider IC. Do you use a Credit card or debit card for your fuel purchases? Also is it the same card for when you have repairs?

Its your decision pierod

You’re not suppose to have an over speed limiter on your truck at all. Over speed is a company driver thing as far as I remember.

Thanks for the video brother! I have 2 loads this week and I will be at $7200 😅

Would you be interested in having your own authority? It’s way more freedom.

Schneider wants IC's at 68mph company drivers 65 and the tablet reads the speed limit signs every time the speed limit changes. If you are over 1mph over the limit its shows speeding. You know they're hating cause you got out from under that lease demon😂😂 and got your own truck. Be safe driver!👍👍

Tolls come out once a month with Schneider

Hey Kendall, just wanted to let you know with Schneider and SFI I let them know that you referred me because all of your videos have been very helpful and informative for me to make this decision. So thank you for all the videos. I have been doing a lot of research on where to go. That would be the best fit to succeed as an owner operator. And I also have a question for you, because the gentleman that I am talking with at SFI does not seem to know as much about the trucks as I would expect, do the premium freightliners just have the optidle or do they have an APU or an EPU? Same question for the Volvo 860s because those are the two trucks I’m interested in. Thx… And pay no attention to the negative comments about your decisions, at the end of the day. It’s what’s best for you. They’re not behind the wheel driving your truck, nor paying your bills, so at the end of the day what they have to say is irrelevant, you do you And congratulations on the new truck.

One thing I'll tell you is once you no longer have a SFI truck your leash gets real short.. I've been there.. Had a SFI truck every was all good.. Paid mine off like 9 years ago.. Started getting drug tested every month lmao..I finally quit and NEVER came back..

Man you lost me bra. Thought u returned the SFI truck and got truck frok somewhere else? But you still Lear’s on to SNDR? And are you saying SFI charged you for returning your other lease truck? Just keep grindin bra just good to see youngins doin they thang so salute that. I just left lake station Mi, headed to va

That’s an old Averitt Express truck. They’re set at 75 for over speeds. Not sure if that has something to do with the over speed alert you’re getting. Hope they figure it out. These are some good trucks. They get good mileage n are taken care of. Safe travels bruh.

I’m considering doing lease purchase through Sfi and putting it on with Schneider. Would you still recommend them. I have been watching your videos and seems like it would be a good fit for me and seems like I could still make good money there. I live in Indiana

I never had an “over speed”. I run 74 in a 70!!

How much SFI charged you for returning the truck? Does it affected your credit score? Iam leasing with SFI honestly the weekly payment is stressful

Hey, can’t you get tires through Schneider’s national account? 😎👍

How was the OC at Gary?

I was leased to Schneider before. But because of the age of my truck I had to leave. I had a 3406 cat engine and they were charging the type of ELD that they had so I left. I will be back when my current truck is paid off in three years which is a 2024 Volvo.

How exactly does Mudflap work

147 a wk that not bad

When you hit 70 mph as a company driver you get a critical event.

they got your tablet set up as a company driver and not a owner op

It’s they weak ass system i kept getting stability controls for making turns at 10mph

They didnt put truck number on side?

What finance company u use

what is the fuel mileage been?

What kind of rates are bulk ic seeing?

How much your monthly truck payment?

What's up KO, by any chance, do you know if there's anything that we could do to stop the on duty clock when we're on breakdown?

cant only lease a truck with SFI?

How much per mile does it cost to operate your truck?

Can I lease after two months only?

How many loads are on Schneider loadboard ?

U own the truck,,not them. It is your business not there's.

First week? You’ve been an O/O

It's extremely hard out here right now if I'm being honest. Been an O/o with own authority for a little over 3 and a half years. It is a big step for sure. Even when I came in I got discouraging comments from people. You'll always have haters because they don't have the amount of ambition we do. I became an O/o because there is so much more freedom. Good luck driver. You can definitely still make money out here but don't take cheap freight. Stick to your guns, know your worth and if you do book your own loads like I do, stay above the 15 day average.

That's your truck they shouldn't have any say in that

Get on truck smarter they will show you the cheapest fuel

Hold up hold up you mean to tell me you paying that damn truck & they tryna tell you how fast your can go? 💀
