Having been an Owner Op for 21 years I think you did a fantastic job on this video. Keep up the good work 🤘🏽
Thank you very much 👍🏻
What’s your opinion of being an owner operator / car hauler?
Bad news will go around the world twice while good news is still getting it's shoes on.
@@carrasco4712 awsome reply👍
Brilliant statement
Good video brother. I also bought my truck from Lone Mountain. I was a third time buyer and went there because I got in an accident and totaled my paid for KW. And at that time my credit was in the crapper it worked out well for me. Truck had 450k miles on it. 2011 Prostar. Took it to Rawze and turned it. I got 430k miles before I had to do an inframe on it. So I was ok with that. The problem with these trucks is that they were trucks from major fleets that don’t maintain them like they should have and they were used and abused by company drivers who don’t give a crap about the truck. So people need to do exactly what you did to come out ok. Little at a time we have totally rebuilt this truck. We are luckier then most because we can do all the work our selves and have our own shop at home your doing it right little brother. Oh. Banked $10300 this week 😎👊stepping out with the step deck
Nice and thanks for sharing! Taking my truck to Rawze is the best move I’ve made in trucking so far. Nice week!!!
Well before ya buy it: run a rigdig reoort. If it was owned by a shit company dont buy it. Tons of out of service violations, probably wasnt maintained well. Wrecked, dont buy it.
Tell them to Run an ecm report. Tons of parked re-gens, dont buy it.
Pull an oil sample, they prolly changed it when they got the truck in tho.
Any advice on how to get contracts?
Such a good channel... I come from a trucking family and been driving with Government. Been out of private sector for 10 years and I’ve have learned so much about the current situation in trucking on this channel. 🤘🏼💯
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Great video. Worth the wait. All of the trucks I have bought with DPF and EGRs I have deleted that system and automatically get 1.5 MPG better than before. The engine is quieter and breaths better.
Not all can do it because you still have California as an option. My trucks are for the most part TX, LA, middle America and anything east of the Big Muddy. Therefore I can get away with it.
This video has a vast amount of knowledge and I recomend it to anyone getting a truck.
Hell of a job my Friend. Stay Driven.
Thanks Jerry! Much appreciated 👍🏻👊🏻
Jerry Santos where did you get this work done? I’m looking into doing the same thing on my truck (used Volvo). I’ve heard these systems are more expensive than they’re worth
@@troibandy2139 i get that done as soon as I get the truck home after buying it. If youvarr in Houston, any reputable diesel shop can do it for you. The delete that is. Nobody will put one on for you here though. All they do is delete.
If that system goes down on you, the cost alone will make you want to delete the system. The delete will cost you about $3,500.00
I do not know if Pittsburgh Power does it but if they do, I suggest go with them.
Doesn't that make your truck illegal?
@@garypierce7380 in California, Hell Yeah! Everywhere else, Hell No! It is a scrappy California law.
I’m here watching now buddy
You the man Tay 👊🏻
Good video with valid points. That’s why I bought an 07 Pete with a pre-emission Cat. Be safe out there!
Very nice, thanks Joe!
The dislikes on this video are from shady used dealerships not wanting people to have knowledge... Knowledge is power, thanks for the great info bro. I'm planning to get my truck next year and this video is going to help out a lot of us.
Great video, people like me just getting into the trucking business appreciate the info so we can be educated. If you check out a used car you are about to purchase from top to bottom. It would only make sense to do 10 times the checking on a rig you are about to rely on to make your money. I like that line "If I am going to be purchasing this truck, you are going to let me do what I need to do to check it out..."
Lots of Lone mtn trucks come from Western Express. Western doesn't report accidents if they don't legally have to. They tow wrecked trucks to their terminal in Nashville. Where they have mechanics and a body shop to make them look okay enough to ship out to lone mtn a 100 at a time.
Now that’s very scary 😳
That's no different than a carfax report. All the reports in the world really don't mean diddly.
Cash is King trucking my wife and i got ours from LoneMoutain in Tifton Georgia. Lots of their trucks are from US Express. We replaced batteries, starter, water pump and transmission seal within the first 3 months. We’ve been rocking and rolling ever since. I would buy again from them with a larger maintenance account though. We started with 4k and took a risk and it was worth it.
@@drebodrebo9287 mileage and make of the truck, type of engine?
I'm not a lease operator I all out bought my Volvo VNL 670 with 216,000 miles barely D13 with Allison IShift 12Speed automatic which last forever and doesn't ruff up the drive train any like the old standard would with a hotrod driver behind the wheel but I put 6%of my weekly gross into a Maintenance account which I've gotten $8,300 well $6,900 Now just replaced all my rubber last week
A friend of mine bought a one owner used truck off a long term lease co.
The thing that saved him was a bumper to bumper warranty. And the fact he didn't blow all his money on the truck itself. So you have $40000.
Spend 1/2 and keep the other 1/2 for when you break down. Cause you will breakdown. To combat that have an excellent preventative maintenance plan in place.
Great video Brian! Very informative for those looking to become and O/O. From my personal experience just getting started money in the bank is very important. I, myself had some unexpected initial expenses or I should say higher then I thought and was able to take care of them. You never know what may come up and the last you want is to be starting deep in the red. Keep up the great work and in reading some of the comments looks like things are in the works in getting truck repaired. Good luck, stay dry and be safe..
Thanks Fox! There have been talks about it but nothing formal yet.
I really enjoy your videos. you are among the very few on CZcams that gives good information & don't beat around the bush. keep up the great video's.
Thanks Kris!
Excellent video! Very thorough from an average guy point of view. I learned tons from it.
Thanks Alvin!
This is the best video I have ever came a cross about buying truck very informational thanks for the info
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it
Iam trucker for 3years and op but I alwys waiting for your videos thanks for the good content u put together keep going
Thank you, that means a lot to me
That's great info,I been doing alot of homework to become a owner op. Keep up the good work
As some one who use to run kenworths and Pete’s and currently running 11 freightliners with DD15s I’ll disagree with you on the resale. No one wants Cummins these days, and you my friend are very very lucky with that red ticking time bomb. Had 3 of them, never again. Rawze is the man when it comes to Cummins for sure. Anyway, great video!
Thanks! 👍🏻
I gained a lot of value from your insight. Thanks for the good consice info.
I love all your videos ... I’m very new to this O/O thing.... you’ve been helping me a lot... mush respect ✊ continue the good work 🚛🇯🇲 yea mon
DRiZZY FADE thank you so much Drizzy 👍🏻👊🏻 I dig the name
Love your content man and super informational even though I have lone mountain videos on my channel it’s great to hear other people’s point of view. Keep up the good content!
Thanks a lot Chad!
Great video as always, I’m sure this was/will be a huge help to most people that follow or whom may stumble across this!
Thanks Jordan, I hope!
I stumbled upon this video and it absolutely is a huge help!!! Throughout my driving career, I’ve always been “on the fence” about becoming an O/O. Your video is clear, concise and very informative. It just may help me FINALLY land the O/O side of the fence. I’m a NEW DRIVEN FAN & SUBIE!!!
Thank for helping as new buyers brother
Rawze is gold mine of wisdom and knowledge definitely give him a follow yall
I feel like you have to be really lucky to pick up a good used truck, and these days sometimes even brand new trucks
Well done man. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks Nolan 👍🏻
That DPF BS is why I'm so happy with my 1996 W900. Had it for 1 year and not a lot of maintenance issues.
It will be interesting to see how far on average the 2017 x15 cummins will go before an average rebuild. I think it still wont get any where near a million miles even though it is a better designed system than previous years but I could be wrong. Good job on the video.
Thanks TwoCents, I’m curious too! I think as a whole we’re more educated about the dpf system so I think it’ll be over 800k but who knows 🤷🏼♂️
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I learned so much. Lone mountain is on my list to get a truck. Research networking and building relationships is key. Drive safely
Rawze is definitely the Cummins God
Agreed!
Love content like this. Thanks brother. I may switch to flat bed soon. Still trying to learn more about it before I decide for sure though
Thanks my man, it’s a cinch, especially for a man of your brain capacity 👍🏻👊🏻
Much appreciated Brian but my friend said they are different when maneuvering. Something about the spread axles? Said you can rip a tire off the rim. Paranoid about that. I need to speak with someone else about that line of the industry soon. So many questions. I hardly ever make big decisions without lots of research
Class A Prepper it “can” happen but it’s highly unlikely. Most of the open decks are built with dump valves to avoid that. My truck wasn’t set up for a dump valve so the entire time I ran that flat, nothing happened. When it’s spread, yes it’s nice to have but not imperative. It’s more to save the tires than anything.
One of your best videos. Very invaluable knowledge
I agree with you completely! One thing I would add is the maintenance of the 5th wheel (very neglected)
Great video, God bless you and your family!
Great video! Before buying my truck I was doing all kinds of research on the Cummins and one of the things was that fuel pump issue. My second week out I got a fuel pump code and the truck was threatening to de rate. Took it to the Cummins and it ended up being a air leak in the fuel filter due to loves not installing it correctly when they did the PM but they did find that the ceramic tappets were wearing so we went ahead and put that new $6000 fuel pump in. There with my first three weeks profit ha ha
Damn Bro...I’m sorry that happened to you 😔
You did it right though!!! You had that money saved for repairs!! Sucks it happened so soon though!! Keep that mindset and you’ll be fine!! Safe travels
Great video I recently got a rig from Lone Mountain its been great and I have done a great deal of maintenance thanks you sir.
Great videos. Just to claify though...Motors operate from "electricity" causing a rotor to spin . Engines operate when fuel is exploded under high compression (diesel) or compression & spark (gas) in their cylinders. Safe travels, Brian.
You’re the only one I’ve seen explain that fact.
Drives me crazy when I here a young wanna be truck driver explain what “electric MOTOR” he has under the hood.
@@blackbrass1973 Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment. It drives me bonkers when people don't know the difference between a motor and an engine.🤯🤯
Great video and information..be safe and have a blessed day..
Thank you Charles 🙏🏻
Their website says 15k down and $2650 monthly payment. For a new truck that, like you said, isn’t experiencing old outdated DPF systems when they were first invented, I think it sounds like a pretty good deal. If you’re with the right company and you can work hard, if you gross 6k a week and take home 3k a week, you should be able to swing that payment easy imo.
I have 790 credit, 50k cash, no wife/kids. I’ve thought about taking a chance and buying a truck etc., but the company I’m currently with, I gross 2k-2.5k as a company driver weekly. So I sort of feel like why quit a good paying job, you know what I mean?
Not worth O/O on that kind of money already being company. The consistency of your pay checks and no stress (not to mention mortgages etc) What you do in the end?
@@pandoraisland2081 funny you said that. I left that job and became and owner operator a few months ago lmao.
I’m making more money, but I have more stress. But I’m glad with the choice I made.
Smart man! You covered my Friend!
You're right when you say buying from an owner-operator is a better bet for sure, but there's an exception to every rule. Typically, an owner-operator truck is going to be better spec'ed with a lot more options then a former fleet truck. Large carriers spec a truck to do a specific job, as cost effectively as possible, without all the frills. They don't need a full gauge package because, honestly, the driver driving the truck is going to have less experience in the industry, and probably not going to know what that gauge is saying anyway. The driver is hired to drive. A competent owner-operator wants to know what's going on with his equipment at all times, because that truck is his lively hood!
O.k not to mention the cool factor ie: Straight pipes, and chicken lights are cool!
I agree there are always exceptions to every rule. And there are definitely cool trucks out there LOL
Really really good advice ,,, another great video.
Thanks twin! I like the name
I find it hard to believe someone buying a truck without even looking under the hood.
Great advice anyway.
I am jus starting my tucking career and I’ll learn a lot from this videos.
I’m glad I found your video... Thank you
Great information Brother! Ty for taking the time to spread your knowledge to the rookies.
One more thing, if you ever want to stop driving, you should consider teaching/starting a drive school. I’ve only been watching you for two days now, but some ppl are blessed with being very natural at describing and explaining things. You my friend have that gift. I am only about half way through school and no where close to contemplating buying a truck, yet you pulled me in and are making me feel much more knowledgeable about the process. Stay safe and ty again!
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Opening a school hasn’t been a thought yet however I do have some other things in the works 😉
Wow. Very informative. Thank you for your time.
I won't make fun of anyone trying to earn a living. Been driving 25 years and had my share of help from old timers. So now I want to help new people if I can
I was told by a Peterbilt service manager the DPF for the engine is like a jogger running with a close pin on there nose .
Exactly right, such a terrible move to do it. I’ll be glad when the trucks made until roughly the new x15 came out are off the road. Those with dpf anyway. They are time bombs
Jogging with your nose plugged and smoking a cigarette
Not to my knowledge, I just think the manufacturers have a better understanding now
Thank you for all that info, you are my heroe!❤
I don't like the horror stories. I've seen many people lose everything over a bad decision over the years. I've been an owner operator for 20 years and a fleet driver for 6 years before that. I was fortunate in that I grew up in a trucking family, so, I knew what to look for, how to spec a tractor and how to do basic maintenance. Those are the 3 biggest things, beside having enough available cash or credit, to be successful. I'm not saying that I can tear down and rebuild an engine on the side of the road, because I'm not "Super Trucker". I'm just saying know what you're looking at, and, if you don't, know someone that you trust who does. I watched a series of videos where a guy bought a used truck and was pretty much dumbfounded why it wouldn't track straight, and, ate up tires. I could see from the first few seconds of the first video that the truck had been wrecked, and, not properly repaired. It turned out that the frame was bent (which I could see right away), along with several other issues. As the old saying goes, buyer beware.
It doesn't take 6 hours to go over a truck . I could changed tires and rear-end in that time. Check rear ends Trans oil and engine .antifreeze .
my story is i choose a old truck over a t680 2015,,2005 w900l cat15 overhaul and warranty until 2020 $48k with kenworth dealer
Smart 👍🏻
Awesome Video!! 👊👍👍👍👍
Thanks!!
great info explained perfectly
Thanks David!
Credit is essential for life. It’s worth more then cash. Got my score up to a 750 now. Haven’t begun working on business credit yet.
That's crazy that someone would buy a truck without lifting the hood
Get a 60 Series Detroit, good power, even better fuel economy, and it will still be clattering away long after the apocalypse.
Great engine 👍🏻
Out of all the tractors I've driven/owned, only 1 had Detroit power. It was a 60 series 12.7L in a 2001 Freightliner FLD12064. It was a good engine and very fuel efficient, but, it just seemed like the torque came in at higher rpm than the Cummins engines that I was used to. I actually tested it against my Cummins powered 95 FLD, which I'd put a driver in. The 95 had a Cummins M-11 Celect plus @ 370 hp 1850tq. The 01 had the 12.7 @ 500 hp 1850tq. Otherwise, the trucks were identical-Super 10 trans, 3.73 ratio, pulling loads from the same place that were within a few hundred pounds of each other. That little Cummins, with over 600k miles on it, would out pull the bigger Detroit every time. I'm not saying Detroits are bad, the Detroit definitely got better fuel mileage, I just prefer Cummins to this day.
Mike Brown I ran a truck back in the day with that little cumins, in a t600. BIGGEST little motor on the planet for sure. Very impressive for what it was!!
Crash!!!! I like the happy videos. Another great video! 👑👑👑👑👑👑
Daniel McCarthy I’m still waiting for you to hire me ✊💯 put me on your Authority DryVan tho 😂
Thanks brother!
What you said is absolutely right.... The trucks around 400,000 were only taken in for warranty work or a breakdown problem and everything is due....that's why they traded it back. Price out that new DPF. 2012-13 were the worst.
You'll know it's choked up when the dash lights start flashing like a pinball machine. And watch for the derate and shut down....first warning - derate to 80%, second- 5 mph.
Great informational video my man!!, I picked up a brand new 2016 579 Pete from the dealership to take it 545 miles bobtail to the company yard to get outfitted. Made it just over 300 miles and the transmission locked up on me wrecking the motor and scaring the holy living crap out of me as the rear end locked up also. There are new lemons out there also, just learn how to sort thru the lemons to find the diamonds. (And yes the dealership made good on the issue) stay safe everybody!
Yikes! That would be scary, at least they made good 👍🏻
Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
That was my biggest mistake no money down and $0 dollars to fall back if something broke plus poor credit but thank god for the company I’m leasing my truck from last year the trans went out and he paid for the repairs upfront and I finally got him paid back just started my second year in February as a lease operator
Very nice Thomas, live and learn is all we can do
Amen so this year is hopefully getting a nest egg built up before the slow time again in the south east lol hope you were able to get your truck fixed
thomas peak fingers crossed! Thanks my man, what it was in the shop for I haven’t talked about yet unfortunately, but it’s definitely coming soon lol
Oh what’s your take on the car muffler versus stacks?
thomas peak it’s been fine but stacks look way cooler 👍🏻
Great video, very informative
Thank you Brian you do a great job what’s your thoughts on RST?
Thanks Tom! I’m sorry, but I really don’t know enough about the company to give you an opinion.
Great info thank you for sharing
Thanks for making this video
Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for watching!
As always great video
Thanks bluebird!
Pete's are worth more than KW's💁🏻♂️
Not
True
They are, but they SHOULDN'T be lol
And i recommend you guys make sure you have maintenance money in separate account for the truck, put the truck money to make money for it self
👍😎👍
I thought I had it bad with 2:64s LOL
Lol
So funny I bought one from there I brought another truck with a tow sled and towed it away never open the hood
Very good video, will be very helpful to people looking to buy a used truck, pull toy here.
Thanks pull toy!
Why do I get a erie felling when you bring up mega carriers? Great editing 👍
Lol 😂 I thought that would be fun. Thank you!
I did an inflame on my truck . It has 200.000 on it with no issues. Its a 1999 fraightliner classic 132. There's a lot of the older fraightliner that are still on the road today .
12.7 Detroit series 60 is one of the best engines ever made as long as you dont run california a glider is good as most items on that you can repair them yourself
Nice talking to you the other day at the yard !!
It was a pleasure meeting you 👍🏻
Oh yes they can. All they have to do is look at the stack. A black stack means it has been deleted or does not participate in the fleecing.
Best buy truck dealer great warranty good people
I drove my truck as a company driver 6 months before I bought the same truck from who I'm leased to so I knew just what I was buying ain't let me down yet anyways
Great video. Tons of great information again. It's a business and needs to be treated as such. ........thankfully, it's a fun one. :D
Sometimes LOL
Very good video !!
Great video man
Thanks recap!
Where can I find that book you mentioned?
Knowledge is power!
But you gotta tarp your sleeper going down the road 😂😂😳😳😢😢🙈🙈🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😬
🤷🏼♂️
Hello my friend, nice video, I’m new in the chanel. A question, Where can i find that book that you mentioned ? Thanks 🙏🏻
new trucks can idle if you run 1000 or more rpm that's what the cummins manual states
First at 1:30am CST 🤷🏻♂️
Why come when you say mega carrier scary music plays 😰🙈
😂
great info!
Mega-Carrier music 🎶 is hilarious
Hello and tank you for your information
Ahhh. The good ol videos of SWIFT... Never fails to entertain. XD
Great video by the way. I’ve dreamed about having my own rig but I’m very afraid to try it because it’s so hard to do Owner Op.
If you educate yourself, it’s not hard my man. That and back yourself financially well. It’s not bad, I mean even I can do it lol
Loved the sound that you added every time you said the words mega carriers.
That was awesome. I must say...!
Good video👍🏾
I get discounted Cummins engines. How do I find a good truck that needs a new engine. Is it a good way to go?
Solid information
im saving up to get new truck. nice w900 one with cummins and 13 speed .
20k down for truck and hopefully another 20k on hand
already got trailer
thanks for great video
Great video. Lots of common sense.
