That's a pretty good load. Always curious about the load details. What town you picked up In and where you dropped off at and the mileage for the whole trip. How many stops on the load. How many pickups. Always something to include in your Videos..Thats a good load. Cool video. Including the tandem slide operation was a nice touch.

Appreciate all the videos man, been thinking of getting my cdl license for the last couple months, just want to get as much information as possible before making such a big change in my life. Thank you for being so transparent and talking about expenses and not just the gross income. Wanted to ask if you're getting more loads because you have a reefer trailer, and how much more it costs compared to a van trailer. Any special maintenance that it requires?
@KenVTRF

Great videos bro ! You make me want to be an owner operator and I’m really thinking about it now thanks for all the great insite in everything you do ! I’ve done long haul and regional. Im currently in a concert mixer truck right now but I would love to get my own semi truck just never knew how to go about it. What’s your take home pay after all the expenses? What about your insurance? What would be the best kind to get so shippers will accept me to haul the loads.

You noted that fixing your windshield was a tax write off how about a video discussing tax write offs I’m looking to hopefully get my CDL soon trying before the February 2022 update but a video on write would be great cause even in regular society people don’t know always how to take advantage of different write offs and I’d imagine in trucking your write offs could play a major part in what you take home net for a year drivings one thing but showing some of us with maybe not much experience with trucking cost and what’s written off and not could help some of those stepping into owner operator area how they can try keeping a bit more money in there pockets from Uncle Sam
