I’m getting my permit today. I have someone who is going to train me for a full 40hrs for about a week. Do you think It can be done or am I getting scammed? So all I have to do is pay $650 for the exam at a school and pass and I’m good. The guy also told me exactly what school to go to.

@@LuisMedina-yq5fd save up to get a slightly used old one. Most of the failures in trucking is not being prepared & anticipating the costs of maintaining the newer trucks with emissions regulations. I’m currently saving to buy my first truck & its most likely gonna be a 2006 KW. I’m saving for the cost of buying the truck & trailer, as well as saving for a savings fund to be prepared for repairs & insurance.

Watched the whole video and you are a rare gem in this industry. I've been in this industry for over 30 years and everything you said is true. The biggest draw back truckers have when trying to succeed is their own bad habits. Continue to be a sponge and learn as much as you can, there will be no stopping you. My only advice to you is to diversify your earnings. Take some of your revenue and invest in other markets ( stocks, metals, real-estate ) in the event something happens to your health.

Hats off to your father, he taught you right! Congrats to you having your own trucks at 24 and handling business like a man should. I am a retired Marine Gunny Sgt. (disabled but alive thanks to a 20 year perpetual war) and got my CDL through the V.A. since I drove my bomb team and k-9s to locate IED's and explosive devices. I have 24 years experience driving missile mobile launch flatbeds in deserts (shit holes). I drove for a company for one year and now on my own. If you let me know where you got your insurance, what state did you buy your truck, and what state did you register it in. I am told Maine has no sales tax and their commercial Veteran plate tags are good for 5 years. Thanks bud for any help you can give me.

I'm 23 years old and I'm wanting to be a truck driver not to long from now. I got into trucking through a truck simulator when I was kid and then learning about the opportunities I can have being a real life truck driver. My goal is being an independent worker by being a owner operator and being a KZfaq/Twitch gamer on home time. I'm aware it can be hard, painful, and scary sometimes being a truck driver but it's worth going through all that to accomplish what I've dreamed about my whole life. Thanks for making this video, I appreciate it a lot. Stay strong and safe out there man💪

I drive an artic here in the UK, we’re treated like crap, apparently we’re 100,000 drivers short, I read there’s a shortage in the states. I’ve been on the road for over 30 years, all we get is bollocks from our government, new rules etc... if I were 30 years younger then I would be happy to drive for you, stay safe, my friend

Very impressive! I work for RTS and have been in trucking for 15+ years helping with fuel discounts, factoring, booking loads through our brokerage, insurance, capital loans, dispatching, etc. and this industry will definitely give back what you put in based on my experience. If you need assistance, please feel free to reach-out to me. I think one of the most important lessons that this industry has taught me is that we have to help one another in order to be successful and the more positive relationships we build, the more favor we experience. Best of luck to you and God speed!

This is good. You are speaking of value. The quality of life is how much value you can create. There are so many young drivers today that are unreachable. You can tell by looking at how they put out their triangles. LOL, somebody wasn’t paying attention in class.

Kudos to your pops teaching you a trade that got you where you are today. Double kudos to you for listening, learning and making your own way, parlaying your knowledge and hard work into getting a second truck and give someone else a job. Giving back so much. You are the American dream realized and you did that, it doesn’t happen by accident, it’s hard work. Stay safe out there my friend.

Hey Young Brother, God bless you for having the vision and inspiration to get into a field that many don’t respect anymore. You definitely have a vision and your doing it each and everyday.. I’m looking at coming into doing trucking, but I’m much older and feel that starting the career this late in life can backfire. However, as I’m hearing from many people like yourself, if you have a vision, and a plan, then anything is possible.. I subscribed to your channel and will keep looking into the field to see if I truly want to do this or not. God bless and stay safe out there…
