Hey sir, new subscriber here. I was looking through your videos and couldn't find a video on leasing your truck to your company. If it's out there I apologize. But I wanted to hear your opinion on leasing your truck to a smaller company and maybe some pros and cons, possible costs and risks? Thanks and I'll continue to watch your videos.
@@jaysalais7084 rewards, a good future
Work from home with 3 trucks. Need 90% and your own trailer. Absolutely no forced dispatch.
Risks. Debt. Due to repair bills , your driver over weight, your driver abandoning truck, your driver in truck restricted area. Cops love this one $$$$. Rewards can fetch in , with 3 trucks at today's rates $8000x 3 ..$24000 a month less repairs and towing, etc
SWIFT is that A-1 company to make that big mistake I mean big money 💰🤑
LOL!!!
Great advice….debt will sink anyone…I adopted the Dave Ramsey principals towards money and followed the “baby step” program and removing debt has relieved me of alot of stress…stay safe out there
dave ramsey although can sometimes give good advice. is a con artist. bro blables the same shit for years all over the radio
I am about to sign up to CDL school, want to get into driving, and I respect truckers for how they move america. But as a motorcycle rider who just rode 850 miles yesterday, there are a lot of clowns in big rigs that probably shouldn't be 😂
im a rider too, witch school are you joining ?? im thinking of doing it. is it a good idea to be CDL sponsor?
So true...
You really have no idea until you start driving a semi about how many people really shouldn't be in them get a few years under your belt you'll know what I mean don't let it bother you though just be the best driver you can be once you get out of school I ride a bike and drive truck I am way more afraid of being in the truck with a bike and long side of me then vice versa man you never know on tires going to go
@@jakobwheelhand9907 One of those tires blowing out while passing is my biggest fear. I keep my distance until that left lane is clear, then I make a good run for it.
@@leonardopinedo1885 American Truck Driving School in Redding, Ca. Seems like they have a good program. I thought about company sponsored training, but I dont like the idea of a slave contract. Just gonna pay out of pocket not have to worry about it 👍
I've been driving (legally) for around 15 years. I agree with everything you have said. People are lazy, and your first couple years are definitely where the struggle will be. I didn't go home for the first 8 months when I started. Now, I have a local gig- 300 miles a day, 6 stops, 8hrs a day/5 days a week (my choice), and 80k/yr. I'm good with that. Is there more money out there? Sure is! But I enjoy being home.
Flip flops are for lounging at home not for trucking. My two cents
Right!
True that. You are at work not on freaking vacation so leave the Flip Flops at home.
I wear my flip flops while driving BUT, I always switch to my boots when I get out of the truck.
Good video, Brian. Well said, as with everything in life we are a result of our choices. The problem is too many people will not accept responsibility for their actions.
I started in the heyday of trucking, party row on cherry street, ran produce, swinging meat, hauled tankers, flat bed, heavy haul. Now I’m pulling a dry box, working for a BCO leased to Landstar. I make over 100K a year, I stay out 3-4 weeks, go home for a week. Pay your dues, the first two years is the hardest, save your money, prep your own food, quit buying the shiny, double ended knob gobblers, that are fully illuminated, chromium played genuine accessory items. Get out of the truck, walk, take in some scenery, quit eating all the fried, fast food, stay away from flip flops. Take pride in your ride, even if it’s a company truck. Save your money, pay off your bills, save your money, I know I said it twice, don’t jump into buying a truck without having a maintenance fund in place. I’m less than 10 years from retirement, but I’m buying my dream truck in the next year or so, it will be my last truck. Brian, keep up the truth, stay driven!
Right there with ya, own my old truck & trailer but want one shiny one before I to old to drive
I want to say thank you for the videos. I'm in the process of getting my CDL and I watch your videos for information and inspiration.
Brian you nailed the local driver situation, 65-70 hours a week. Great information, well done.
Drove dump truck and pup until I retired and probably averaged 55-65 hours a week during construction season and 40 or less during the off season. Got paid hourly and the rate varied by the job. Base was about $25 and prevailing was $55 both of which were subject to overtime pay. We were usually into overtime pay by Thursday, sometimes earlier. In the off season they tried to keep us busy 40 hours a week stockpiling material for the next season. Even in my 60s I still had enough time and energy for evening and weekend projects. I did the regional OTR route for four years and after that never looked a truck with bedroom again.
You don’t have to “pay your dues” before going local and being home. Many companies are looking for rookies especially here in the Allentown, PA area and they have starting pay in the mid $80k range. Old dominion takes rookies and starting pay nation wide is advertised at $98k I make a good six figure income as a company driver but I’m thinking about jumping on over to buying a truck and seeing how that pans out since we can have a decent savings to keep things going for a bit!
Very true!! I drove local right out of truck driving school delivering beer. I currently specialize in hazardous waste making 6 figures a year
Definately true, but it also depends on your area..
I love your videos and I’m happy that you address this issue, I am a truck driver too and I’m not rich but this job actually saved my life because I am in the process of being divorced and this is what actually has allowed me the freedom that I need it economically. Trucking is awesome I love it I wish I have had done this sooner.
Trucking definitely changed my life...
Man, people always tell me I don't look like a truck driver. It's almost like a backhanded compliment.
Truck change ma life. Also open different doors for me. Thank you 🙏🏽 God bless.
Awesome shirt bro! I'm 2 years in to this gig, no wife and no kids. After 3 more years I should have enough to buy my own brand new rig outright and reap the benefits! Great channel and great advice, thx for sharing it all! Haters gonna hate, but like u stated correctly...they're irrelevant. Peace!!
hell yeah, nutrition, workouts, and good finance best advice bro. I met these two truckers through a fitness support group on Facebook and they would post videos of them at the truck stops doing sets of BURPEES and meal prepping and they looked really happy.
Love the attitude and no nonsense explanation of things.
Such a credible, honest, knowledgeable man. I'm subscribed.
Hello Brian!
You are spot on...can't wait to start my trucking career.
I'm 19, turning 20 in April of 2021. I'm hoping to get into trucking here in the next 3 or 4 months. I've always been really good on Road trips and my Grandfather was a heyday trucker and he's given me some great advice.
That was an awesome common sense video about Truck Driving. I'm fresh out of school got a local gig already setup well kinda local it's a 500 mile round trip 6 days a week. Hazmat delivering gas to local chevrons in town. Hope it works out lol. But yes very true brother it is what you make of it. Stay healthy sir.
Your humility is inspiring. Thank you for another great video with sage advice.
I'm 23 and thanks to people that spread the knowledge through the ultimate CB have helped me.
Great advice , I enjoy your videos . I'm currently working on getting into trucking , just passed my permit test today and start training at local community college next week !
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve had my Cdl since 2012. I’ve worked for a local trucking since 2013 doing everything from driving to dispatch. My wife and I have set ourselves up with no debt other then the house. It’s finally time. I’m now doing my homework and have a mentor and will be buying my own truck soon. This video was spot on about the 60-70 hour a week guys. I’m one of them. The weekend is over before you know it way to often.
Did you buy your truck yet?
I love this lifestyle. I’ve spent time in other types of grinds and this one offers the most benefit, imho.
Wow, I didn't realize you are almost 40, you look like you're in your early 30s Brian.
Hey wait, 40 is young😁
@@wendy475 it sure is. I turn 58 later this month. I STILL feel young.
Thank you for your content. I'm looking to start CDL school on the weekends next month.
GOLDEN ADVICE!!
All facts brother! ✊🏿
Awesome video, cool shirt 👍🏻👍🏻
Great content!
I like that ending! Stay Driven. Good thing to encourage others.
As a Professional Driver I see ALOT of drivers that have no respect for themselves! For example nasty, dirty drivers wearing flip flops with TOE JAM! Come on man really! Or the guy pissing in the fuel isle REALLY! Have some RESPECT for yourself! Great topic Brian!
Great commentary. I think you're right about how drivers conduct themselves in public sets the stigma associated with trucking. I'm about to go back to driving after a Covid layoff last year. My pops was a 33 year Teamster, but despised his sons from driving. Later in life I realized, he was careless with money, careless with freight, and had no business sense. He passed away due to diabetes but at his last job he said to me, "Son if I had known your brothers and you were going to grow up so smart (I'm the youngest and the only one NOT self employed) I would have bought more trucks! The glass is either half empty or half full, successful people see the half full glass.
Great words
great information video!
Honestly your take on local work nailed it imo
Great video, thanks for making it .
Like always right on point 😎👍💪, THANK YOU BROTHER
I have alot of respect for you and the content you put out. I'm new to step decking and you have helped alot. Stay Driven and Thank you, God Bless and hope to catch you on the road somewhere down the line.
Wasn't just "a job" at one time, lots of ppl jump into it just for a job... used to be more, was more enjoyable, the camaraderie alone was way different than it is now....
Amen to that been doing this for 21yrs won't change it for nothing..
Hey I appreciate you and all the truck drivers out there you guys are inspiration to me you guys be safe
thank you so much, I'm study now to get my CDL in October, been watching your videos make feel motivated, thanks
Well said Brian! Be safe out there my friend!
As a 27 year driver (10 as an owner operator), I can vouch for everything you said is true. I’ve been told many times that I don’t look like a truck driver as well. I then give them your same response. I explain to them that there are many types. Some wear ball caps, turbans, cowboy hats, or no hat at all. Some wear cowboy boots, work boots (like me), or the dreaded flip flops. We come in all different types, and that’s just fine with me. I enjoy talking to the guys that are WAY different than me, you can really learn a lot from them. I have a refrigerator/freezer in my truck and a microwave as well. My wife makes and packs my meals for me and then I pack them in the truck. Saves a lot of money and it really is a nice secure feeling that I am self contained. You never know when you might be unexpectedly stranded somewhere. Thanks Brian.
Yes, great advice. Love the honesty.
You are right we'll said My whole family's in trucking and you're right right on the spot
I work in an industry inside of trucking that is a small niche, But the schedule and money is great. Young guys understand that these jobs are out there but he is absolutely right, you must earn your way into those jobs. Also know that if you just want to just bump docks and not get out of the truck and work a little bit, it will take longer.
As a LP with RTI I am killing it out here, it does help that I do get VA disability and Compensation even month, but you are absolutely right watch your money! Honestly you, make cents, and just trucking are way better with your content than the majority of these so called truckers out here!!!
You r god damn right! Too much disrespectfull drivers on the road! Stay safe Brian!
Oooo When he said "You're Lazy"... Say it louder for the people in the back lol :) Respect
Great encouragement in the face of the bad rap and sleazy public perception trucking often gets. The part-time trucker lifestyle that Sammy has is what I’m after.
Inspiring content
I would like to see a video of your daily routine to stay healthy as a truck driver
At some point I will 👍🏻
Great information! All true!
Trucking is the only job I ever liked, the only job I’ve taken pride in. Heres the thing people think you’ll get rich off it and instant money, that attitude right there is setting a person up to fail in this industry right there. Sure you can make money but the money ONLY comes with time and experience, it takes a special kind to do this job and do it well and keep at it. These new guys have no idea what there getting into or how it works, they want that instant pay off then get butt hurt bc they gotta work for it and put time in and be an actual asset.
When you tell people or when tell people you want to be a truck driver they look at you like you is from outer space .
I take pride in being a truck driver, where at least I know I’m free!
And to stand up - with the few
God bless the Trucking Industry
I’m saving up to pay for my cdl training. Great video!
Bro, First and foremost trucking is a choice. Our nation is full of opportunity and I firmly believe that hard work and determination is paramount. Making a decision on who and what you want to be is the key to success. Second, educational decisions are entirely up to the invididual to choose. Upon graduation from high school an individual needs to begin the real educational battle. Something's you can learn in college and something's will be learned through field study. Let's not kid ourselves and pretend the hard way is not how some learning is also accomplished. Third, a father has the primary responsibility of providing economic stability along with security to his family. Financial responsibility is secured in the trucking industry by unfortunately being away from home. An old trucking quote that holds true today is "if the wheels aren't turning a trucker isn't earning." Fourth and final point would be regarding health. It makes no difference weather a man sits in a cubical or sits in a truck. Sitting is the point! If you can eat healthy at an office you can eat healthy in a truck. Trucking is a lifestyle of which is made by choice. In closing I say to you all CHOOSE: To be a trucker! CHOOSE: To be educated! CHOOSE: To be a good provider/father! CHOOSE: To be healthy! Make a choice and live with what you choose. Great video and thank you for the open forum. You keep posting and I'll stay driven. ☮️ from Cali
Fantastic words!
Been heavyhauling for last 10 yrs. Support my family and self just fine. Even w/SLEEPY JOE trying to slip us up!
Like what you said in your videos many of them help a lot I am a new driver.
I hope there is money in it, I start my CDL classes the end of the month.
This industry is what you make of it 👌🏻
Pretty much you can make anywhere from 40k to 80k starting out. Depends on who you drive for, how efficient you are, a bit of luck with loads and nothing breaking, and how much home time you decide to take.
I started my business and love ever second driven my own truck and try to look the part as a owner-operator.
Feel the same dude!
Wasn't sure if you see the comments on your old videos. I was just checking it out and what a baby face 😁
My pretax revenue is $7000-$9000 at 80% a 30-35 day period.
If if I had my own dry van I would be at about $11000 a month.
AS OF 2021 YOU CANNOT FIND A DRY VAN TRAILER TO PURCHASE.. ANYWHERE !
I work for a good company, I stay out for 6 weeks then take 7 days off. Now I don't have wife/GF, or kids, so staying out is not an issue.
What's up brotha 👍🏾
Awesome channel buddy
I’ve had my cdl for over 6 years, I must say since starting otr last September I’ve made more money driving otr flatbed then I ever have doing local i wish i had done this sooner as long as i keep my cdl i will never go back to a local job and unless I own my own day cab
Love the channel! How often do you get to move military equipment?
How do you get to the point where you can work a week or 2 and take a few weeks off?
I had peas and tuna in olive oil for dinner last night, today I had a salad for lunch and I will eat a cup of grapes for dinner tonight. You don't need to only eat fried food.
Man, I really appreciate this video. I'm in my first year. I've gotten the donkey Kong kicked out of me, but I do work hard and run hard as a natural way of operating. Granted, the company didn't run me hard. I did. They allowed it/ supported it, but why wouldn't they? As a first year, I'm well into my first year, the money is low and "the abuse will continue until moral improves". I appreciate knowing theres a light at the end of the beatings. The dues are due. I accept that.
The person you describe is for the most part the most common in the industry. But like my son hes been involved in trucking his whole life. He started out as a owner operator day one. Payed off his truck and retired from OTR. He now runs the traffic division of a roofing company. So there are thosr who never experience the horrors of starting out at the bottom of the totem pole.
Get a kettlebell gentlemen, totally unlimited full body workouts wherever you want
Some kids at school make fun of me for wanting to be a tanker truck driver. I ask them why and they struggle to find reasons. No matter what anyone says to me it will never deter me from being a tanker yanker. Be safe out there Driven!!!
The people that mind, don’t matter. The people that matter, don’t mind.
All im going to said
THANK YOU
What about using the bathroom while driving like having to do a deuce?
Hey sir, new subscriber here. I was looking through your videos and couldn't find a video on leasing your truck to your company. If it's out there I apologize. But I wanted to hear your opinion on leasing your truck to a smaller company and maybe some pros and cons, possible costs and risks? Thanks and I'll continue to watch your videos.
Some people like to be employees. When other drivers tell me they've been company drivers for 20, 15, 10... years I wonder my self: why haven't they bought their own truck? They have made a lot of money for those companies, money the they could've made for themselves and the home time too. I've been a company driver for just over 2 years now and it has allowed me to gain driving experience, paying off my debt and buying a house. It's been a sacrifice to be out of home most of the time but now I'm getting ready to make some changes and drive once or twice per month. Btw..I only wear my flip flops to take the trash out of the truck or in the shower...lol
People don't make money because they don't advocate for themselves. They go to a mega, they take nearly anything the dispatcher gives them, they don't manage their CPM, fuel, time, food properly, and they end up taking home under minimum wage. I would say for someone like me who can not afford a CDL from a school (haven't driven anything other than yard jockey here and there for 20 years) and would have to go into a mega and run the one year or so for crap pay and THEN be able to get good pay going into a good company (especially since I live on the east coast) and can run regional no problem. Many times people have issues in trucking and they don't talk to the right people to see how THEY do it and try to just skate through and expect the money to be thrown at them when in reality you really need to work at it. Trucking is one of those things that the more you work at it the better it becomes.
I just loaded two humvees today
Revive the brotherhood!
So the only thing i would really worry about is skin cancer have they improved the windows to where it lets in less sunlight other than tint of course? I know a lot of old school drivers got it thats why i ask
I lost 35lbs sitting in my seat not exercising. 200 down to 164 low carb, no sugar or grains. Your 100% right on hometime local. I wouldn't say worn out but I question sometimes if it's worth it. Can still get home to cook my Dad supper on the nights my wife is out enjoying her horses, and make chiropractor appointments easier. But its 5 hours commute every week you highway guys dony need to do!
Lmfao the ric flair spin hahahha hell yeah.. wooooo
I take pride in myself and I’m my ride I’ve been through 6 trucks on #7
im an independent contractor
I used to be a teacher. Cleared $3000 a month
Company driver, OTR can expect home time 2 days after 3-6 weeks out, regional can expect 1-2 weekend days every weekend , local can expect 1-3 hrs with family every day , also 1-2 days off during the week Often the 1-3 hrs with family can be extended by choosing to get less sleep. Less sleep = tired driver! A tiered driver is as dangerous as a drunk driver!!! This comment is based on my own experience! ✌️👍🤠
Hey man i’m a new driver and have been driving for eight months I would love to be able to pick your brain about stuff
Can you store dumbbells and a bench/bar in the back of the truck? How can you work out with weights and do cardio with the trucker’s life style?
why is there such a high failure rate in the first year for new drivers??
I'm 45 years old and am looking to get into trucking.
So, I think my answer is in the comment section, but I want to be sure I understand correctly: I'm about to go to school to finish my 160hours training and then I'm going to take my road test. Assuming I pass, I'll be looking for driving opportunities. Most of what I've come across lately requires minimum 2 year experience. Do I go with a company like prime or swift (😫) to get that 2 years or do I just reach out without the experience and hope I make a good impression?
Love that shirt 👕 😍 I'm super jealous. Do you listen to Joe's podcast?
First comment 😎 love the content!!
got dash cams installed and working?? that will save trucker's butt every time
Have you done a video and how you manage your work and your family?
