Yes, there is mega big money in trucking. I wasted 8 yrs as a COMPANY SLAVE. Today as a company owner, independent owner operator running under my own authority, 6yrs in business. I do a 14-17 day run. $20,000 in line haul is my goal. Every month is a 10+ day vacation. I run a reefer and only spend $16,000 to $22,000 a year in maintenance. After taxes, fuel and licensing I profit $140,000 in the bank. There is no short cut to success. Get your own authority and work open broker boards for trips. You will never see the big money of this industry as a COMPANY SLAVE.

Can i ask for your tips and opinion in my situation? I want to switch careers and truck driving has always been something i wanted to do. I’ve watched a lot of videos about trucking and gaining some general knowledge from them but my questions is ; once i get my CDL, should i start working for a company first to gain experience or would it be ok to make the jump immediately and get my own truck to run?? I do have money saved by the way.

After my construction company ruins down with over $900k in dept. I overheard about Governmental Grants, so I started making my research about it and how it works. After series of research, I later hire a Governmental Grant Writer and narrated all my story to him. We started all the process, and it took about a month before I was later approved and awarded a Governmental Grant of $2 million. I cleared up my dept in other to keep my credit in good state and I venture into trucking business. I'm doing perfectly well for myself now and having the most peaceful moment ever.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏

The math adds up. $40k into 4 is 10 10k- $2000 per week on Diesel is $8000 per week . 8x4 is $32k. Minus an average monthly expense of $6300 on a new truck(with trailer payment and insurance) is $25.7k. Minus 15%-24% tax is 3855. 25,700-3855=$21,845 profit.... With NO trailer and NO truck payment his net would be an AVERAGE OF $26,145 so he is telling the TRUTH people. Numbers don't lie. Update: This Is a rough estimate allowing for a wide range of payments on equipment and insurance. My personal bills are $3k a month and I've had my authority a very very long time. Tax is calculated by tax brackets of income. New owner ops don't have access to great paying brokers 99% of the time for 3-6 months and are getting screwed by progressive.

Reading these comments you become aware of all the pocket watching that goes on in this industry. I make 360 dollars a day driving an end dump with a 10-12 hour shift. I don’t have to worry about mechanical issues, being away from the family for weeks at a time, maintenance etc etc. so for all the newbies out there I have some advice. Find something that fits YOU if you want family time and low stress find it. If YOU are all for the money don’t value your work/life balance find it. But don’t just follow the money because you may end up hating your job, look at the bigger picture and find something that fits your lifestyle. And for all the pocket watchers, don’t hate on the man. He is getting his money, you go and get yours no need for the hate.

I met this guy in Jacksonville. Nice guy. I told him he was crazy tho for going from Washington to Florida but whatever seems to be working for him. I’m the driver who told you to check out that restaurant next to the docks in Jacksonville. He also was thinking about selling his reefer and I told him to keep it!!!! I hope you remember me now. I told him it was worth more than what he was gonna sell it for.

I’m glad too see veterans are doing this. I’m a 27 disabled vet and not much going for me after the service. Watched some of Mutha Trucking videos and became interested. Now I’m doing full research to make sure this is a good career to get into and honestly I am attracted to the idea of living out of my truck and pocketing huge amounts of money I’ve never witness personally. Nike this CDL.

Once I leave at age 26 im jumping right into trucking. I need this level of freedom and income. I'm gonna be so happy in that truck. Nobody to bother me and its quite. Then I'll make enough to take care of myself and not have anyone bossing me around. Its a young mans dream job.

Find a good quality older model, that has more power then most of these newere ones, Ie older by Peterbilt classic, w900, figure out what runs youd want to do flat deck reefer etc, how long you want to do, average pay for fuel, per trip, etc, how much insurance vrs older/newer will be, find a good solid company that can give ya what you need to accel

Everyone is on a different level, you can't compare yourself to this dude because everyone's circumstances are different. This dude already had it planned and did his homework and had the support. Usually everyone new to trucking is in debt or struggling and can only start as a company driver and will stay as a company driver. You have to find a company that is fair and is considerate of the driver because there are companies who tell their dispatch to plan the loads to benefit the company and not the driver. For example they'll get short runs that pay good but not enough miles for the driver. Maybe get the first load with miles to get driver to go but after you'll see the trend low miles after the first load. They'll say they couldn't find good rates etc. Get away fast from these companies.

Dude, your selling a fairytale. Handed a truck and operating authority, with no experience. I’ve been in this business 26 years and have seen owner operators in it twice as long as me scraping change together just to change oil or buy fuel, still working under someone else. You better without any hesitation pass that forward to every driver you sign. Truck driving isn’t a job, it’s a lifestyle, and a hard one at that.

@0aklandRaiders4Lyf Жыл бұрын

My guy! I watch a lot of your videos, and I have the utmost respect for you. I'm not saying this guy isn't making the money that he is, because I was fairly green when I bought my peterbilt and came on as an O/O with offers from $8k-$11k a WEEK. But showing your CDL with an issue date means absolutely nothing, because every time you go and acquire an additional endorsement, it changes your issue date on your cdl. I seriously hope that you're not misdirecting people deliberately.

Plenty of information on youtube about authority. I'd advice getting some experience from a company doesn't have to be a mega carrier, get a local job when you have your cdl. After some months you can start your Authority doesn't cost a whole lot. The biggest expense would be insurance, gas and maintenance for the truck.

Our carrier company with a good reputation of 15 years is currently hiring fb/sd owner operators. It is not a large company. He is right about 39k-40k a month in gross, maybe even more. I myself found for my driver a load in gross of 37, 790 in the last 22 days period. It depends on many factors but we are always trying to find the best deal. You just need to have a good work ethic. In regards to 5 mo experience mentioned in the video. We hire drivers with at least 2 years experience. Our insurance simply wont allow less than that.
