Where you been. No more videos??

I’m going with Classic in October of this year, leaving my company driving job. How is it at Classic if you are still there? Plus do they have specific mud flap requirements? I use rock tamers on my truck currently, plus the stock Ram mudflaps that came on the truck.

Matt, can I contact you?

Dude I’m fixing to start working for your company are they any good any bad things?

Matt, How can I contact you?

Hey Matt are you doing okay??

Where are you? Haven't seen you post in a while.

how about a battery generator with a electric blanket for the cold ?

all good till you need a new truck the $ your making wont cut it.

7 yr OTR truck driver here w 1 million miles under my belt. The key to making money is limiting your dead head miles. Get a load to a destination and have a load within a percentage range to bring back. I.e. Take a trailer to San Antonio and bring something back to Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, or even Missouri. Now your banking money both ways. It does complicate things a bit, but you'll like your numbers better. 👍

Is a lease payment tax deductible?

Overhead is way lower for a gas vehicle maintenance is way lower for a gas vehicle. However, diesel gets better economy and more power, better longevity depending on how you take care of your vehicle

Man for 600 a month I would do that lease for ever!

What is your average MPG with a trailer and without? Thanks for the videos.

What kind of per mile rates does Classic have?

Hi Matt...very important Eld advice..don't use Persoanl Convinience...only because weather...or Mayor Personal Emergency...Not every day...or you be punish with a big fine by DOT officer....avoid problems.!! Good job !!! Good luck.!!!

I hope they email you the paperwork showing the exact amounts of what's being subtracted. If they dont, if it were me I'd be questioning why not. If they cant show you an itemized report for everything they're scamming you.

Creat breakdown..I'm same boat..I currently have my CDL-B and am going to use my Hazelwood Act for joining military in Texas to get my CDL-A. I'm planning to buy a 1-Ton Ram and a Trailer or two..I'm going to set up my LLC under my own DOT Number so I can haul different things. You could haul multi trailers for this company, but be able to find loads headed back. Its definitely all about finding a rhythm and loads to make it work.. Each persons situation is gonna be different for sure. Keep Crushing It!! Stay HUMBLE, Stay HUNGRY, Stay FOCUSED...~The Jarhead Entrepreneur

i think your hearing drag on winch

Can you run this with a partner snd just keep doing them back to back or would it only make sense to each have lur own truck?

Go buy a hundred and fifty dollar diesel heater the best bang for you buck and its garrenteed to keep you warm

I'm sure someone told him about a diesel heater ?

$200 a day for being owner operator is not good... I was thinking it was $800-1k a day

Hello. What do I search for when looking for the correct trailer?

If you only work 8 hrs a day, you don't have to do a reset. You will never run out of hours

Don't forget to put your BOL in your ELD fella, if not it's a violation.

Hi Matt, thanks for the great content and information! How are the back haul opportunities with Classic Transport? Thinking about leasing on with them.

7k is not a lot. What kind of loads can you load on that, seems not a lot

Dang! Where did you find a trailer like that for $10,000?!

i have a coachman summit series 8, 261 bhs its similar to the 263. Love the auto leveling and mine has two ACs very helpfully when making dinner. My tundra halls it well in Big Bend area and Up in Utah it has struggled or I should say bogged down a bit before creasing a huge mountain.

im from sa,tx and a vet im seriously considering doing this

Matt, I have great respect for you and what you do. I drive semi commercially for a major nationwide company. I have a new ram 3500 crew cab long bed. Looking at the math, it just does not seem like you are making much money, considering oil changes, fuel filters, depreciation, tires of eventually. Etc. Keep up the hard work. It just seems for the amount of time that you been working after all the expenses that you are working for a very low wage. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I hope you have great success. as a commercial truck driver, I appreciate your endeavor.

Dude, I'm supposed to start in August. I don't think this is for me now. Thanks for the info bro..

Fuel weighs 6.8 pound per gallon. Buy the d.o.t. regs are conciderat to fuel weight. We'll my experience is as such.

are you from san antonio

Are you talking about wave express?

Don’t knock harbor freight, they are really good winches.

3/4 tons can legally pull more than a one ton… you need to get more information. The main difference in the Chevys anyway is the independent front suspension on a 3/4 versus a solid, harsher ride, front end on a one ton

You're taking a very big gamble with being over length and almost surely over 26000 GCWR. The only way you're not over GCWR with the 14000 GVWR of your truck, is if your trailer is rated exactly 12000. And then on top of it, you're tearing up a 1-ton dually rather than loafing along in a cheaper, more efficient, more aerodynamic, more professional, more comfortable, and safer HDT. And then there's the whole issue of getting the right amount of weight onto the truck vs the trailer, even if we ignore the GCWR problem. You're between a rock and a hard place by staying non-CDL plus needing to run right at the non-CDL scale limit, while exceeding the GCWR limit. You've got a CDL and are acting like you don't. Use it! Hit the reset button. Find a nice used Volvo with a sleeper and APU, before you find the tail wagging the dog. It will at least get your rig to be legal. Right now, every time you go through a weigh station, your concern shouldn't be just the weight, it should be an inspector looking to bust a hotshot violating the rules, because that's exactly what you are. Likewise, any cop who pulls you over for anything, will have the ability to really ruin your day, and not even have to let you continue to your destination.

Can you post the link to classic..?

I wonder if you are allowed to work for multiple rv companies to make up for deadhead...

I own a 2007 FORD E-450 CAB AND CHASSIS DUALLY WITH A 6.8L V-10 GAS ENGINE.. I'm looking into doing rv hauling.. Empty i get 10mpg Loaded i get 7-9 mpg... I was told that because my truck/van being a E-450 ( 1 1/2 ) ton , i need a cdl... I'm hoping to get my CDL soon and go back to what i love doing and that is being on the road...

Having the trailers on the trailer u should have good luck 🤞 on not having any back charges for damages that they kill tow away guys on.

Could you find small hot shot loads for back hauls so you’re not dead heading back to Goshen?

It might get you piece of mind when you get back to Texas, might have your trailer friend go through your break system?
