I’ve been driving for five years. I got my CDL as soon as I turned 21 and it was honestly the best decision I have ever made in my life. After my first year of trucking, I haven’t made less than $60,000 and for being in your early 20s that’s honestly a pretty good living
I make 30k a year man hell nah I definitely need the cdl
@@ProdNapoleondo it, I’m in school rn for it and it’s super easy. A whole world of opportunities opens up for you. Can find a job anywhere too
I’m so indecisive but I’m tired of leaving paycheck to paycheck I’m just going to do it and not look back
@@1elwin even if you don’t want to drive a career you can leverage the CDL to get into other trades in construction or the oilfield
Wish I had my guidance and support and positive people in my Twenties I would have gotten my CDL now almost 50 it's to late now. wasted my whole life
Wooo this hit home fr I come from the trenches and that Ohio paycheck struggling wishing you could get ahead in life ain’t no hoe I am currently going get my cdl this week and will be going to a company for paid training I have a goal and am so excited to be able to save and like you said not worry bt a due date im so excited for this journey especially doing it as a women and setting the bars for my hood and other women such a blessing bc we’re I come from alot of people have died due to guns violence drugs etc and it’s really sad to see im making it out the hood is a feeling like no other
Stay blessed ❤
Just got mine Friday 🤝🏾
Me too brodie oct 20th it’s only up from here💪🏾

I feel you when I go to work too many fake people that drain my energy and I don’t mind driving by myself than be stuck at a miserable job.. I’m going to try and get my cdl before the year ends🤞🏾

working on my CDL & Diesel Tech ima make both those my careers I already gotta semi truck waiting for me just needa complete these classes and ima go with Coca Cola or dollar general I think those are the best paying ones ⚔️I’m out in PA so it’s cheaper living out here so ima be able to buy a house at the age of 22 is my plan ✍️🔒 those of yall wanting your CDL stay locked in I lost hella hope was bout to give up but I told myself Ian gonna keep living a $1000 a month so I paid for my classes im 5 weeks from getting my license
Hell yeah stay positive that’s the route I’m at going to get my cdl bcuz I’m tired of low pay
@@1elwin hell yeah stay motivated , good luck brotha
Ey bro I had a question I’m about to get my cdl and I was wondering if Coca Cola hired 19 year olds ?
Both of those good careers idk how you gone do both at the same time tho 🤔 Coca Cola and dollar general both pay well and they’re good jobs. You should do well over there. And good luck to you on getting the house. Stay positive and keep your head up. All the things you want at 22 are attainable just gotta stay down til you come up!
@@vorps155 I’m not quite sure if they do. But don’t let that discourage you it won’t hurt to try. When you find out come back and let me know
Im 34 years old feeling stuck in my warehouse job...this been heavy on my mind and i gotta make sumn shake
I got my CDL I’m a garbage man making $41 Hr
Which company is the best? Waste management out here in Tampa only paying 21 an hour
@@KingJuanGaming I work for LRS lake shore recycling systems in Chicago. It all depends on the union contract when I started I came in at 25hr and we just did our new contract with the union and they changed it now it’s 18 months to hit scale compared to 30 months so I was within that time frame so I’m at 41hr and every year for the next 5 years it’s $1.50 a year raise
@@JoshG2301 how can I find about which companies have unions like that? I would’ve thought waste management was like that since that’s one of the biggest companies but I guess it really is different every city and state
@@KingJuanGaming well waste management is the same union as LRs here in Chicago but I guess it varies from state to state for us here waste is the biggest company in garbage industry here in Chicago. Find out with waste in your area what’s the starting pay and what’s the process on getting scale how long does it take or ask a garbage man from waste see what he tells you
Wowwww that impressive. I need to come where you at
MAMAAAA HEYYYYYYY FIRST VIDEO #LetsGo F
Heyyyyyyyyyy MAMMMMA First of many #legooooooo
Truck Driving can be a great career if you make good decisions with your income. If your working for a company and they offer 401k or IRA Have 6 to 10 percent automatically taken out of your ck or open a roth . point being retirement savings is a must you don't want to be 70 and driving still its hard . Think life after driving its a good career.
I agree. Saving for retirement is a must
Same here bro im with Core-Mark but about to transfer to pfg they guarantee 350 a day in N.C.
If you transfer at least you get to keep your seniority. & is Core Mark pay lower than that a day?
Take care of the cdl’s and they will take care of you … simple and plain
Just like that!
i went threw all the fake jobs i hate it, respect
Same. Respect
My last day on October 20th and I graduate on November 3rd
Proud of ya! Don’t stop here keep going! Congrats too!
Congratulations to you king. What’s the name of the company that you work for? I’ll be getting my CDL the beginning of 2024
Thank you king! & Performance Food Service. Good luck to you brother
Yeah, make it sound sweet out here if ya wanna. This industry plays a big part on mental, patience & health.
Also the more people who join can, which people join 24/7 Effects the pay rates. Also the misconception is folks hear CDL & Directly tie it to trucking which is an issue. What you listed were also divisions in trucking not what you can do with them
I totally agree with you. Truck driving is not for everybody and you got to have a strong mentality to pull through in this industry. Patience is another skill that you got to have and health is wealth.
Just because people get their CDL doesn’t affect pay rates. It’s the new owner ops that accept any pay rate thrown at them. It ain’t no negotiation at all.
I mean when you get your CDL what can you do with them other than trucking? 🤔 I’m confused on that one.
I made the video on my personal experience. I can’t speak for everybody else. Some people get they CDLS and it was the worst decision they could make but for me it work out for the better for me
@@GrandMasterDeeTV Mega carriers play a roll in the rates, they have the majority especially compared to the O/O’s. I watch the Authorities increase/ Decrease weekly.
Shippers of course want product moved at a lower cost & that’s when the broker comes in & they have a bidding war against each other leaving “No room” for negotiation because of their customer. For example TMC cut a rate from 6K to 3 from an O/O.
Trucking on the other you can 2x - 3X your income quicker than other trades like being an lineman ( don’t have to have a CDL But is a + ) also folks don’t look into becoming a crane operate which requires your CDL. Which again everyone ties CDL with trucking when you have 2 other options
You right I didn’t think about it like that.
I also agree there are other trades that can triple your income. Trades give you the opportunity of getting a degree in a shorter time and cheaper vs going to college and you can make higher income coming out of school than somebody that goes to college
I knew you was from Memphis because you said Mane too many times 38118 in the building
😂😂😂 Aye mane say mane ykwtfgo ok fasho that 38115 for me
What company do you work for that you are able to travel and still be local if you don’t mind me asking
My DOT physical expired.... today will i have time to get a new one tomorrow and turn it in to DMV same day??thank you
You need to go get that asap can’t operate a commercial vehicle w/o that. That’ll put you out of service. Good luck
I stay in Shreveport Louisiana
I was just there last month working
I start school December 9th
Good luck I am in school right now
I leave for Arkansas next week
S/o to you guys making that move and good luck to you!

🍾🍾 I think it deserves 2 bottles 😂
Can you use a cdl license for heavy equipment like dulldozers and such. I think them job pay better than truck drivers right now.
Mmm I think you can use a b
I’m not sure lmk when you found out
Go to a construction company learn thru there, no license required, or haul heavy equipment definitely will need a class A, big bag in that lane
Female trucker 🎉
Okkkk I see ya truckHER! The women have been dominating in this industry. Salute to you 🫡
That's wassup
Amazing video but I have 2 questions
1. Doesn't it take years to work off your CDL?
2. You ever get scared when driving while its raining?
most mega companies have an 9-18 months contracts for paying for your cdl's.
@@YADAMNDADDY 9-18 months is a long time to work with no pay though maybe I should save up for it first but then you need experience anyway before you get good pay right so I'm not sure which way to do it
@@prodev4012 you get paid during that time just not top dollar, 9 months flies by. think about it march the 1st of this year is basically 9 months ago. also, some of your local ltl companies have program also, so that way you're already at a good company. let say today was your first official day of your 9 months contract you would be done by July of next year. I'm personally not going that route to get my CDL but I understand that route.
Dealing with weather is part of the job , you just get your sleep and when the weathers bad you slow down keep your distance and stay alert
@@trex7359 Maybe you never drove in florida but I spun out several times just in a normal f150 trying to avoid these crazy people in the rain, couldn't imagine a semi
Any advice for a 18 year old? wanting to get my cdl
Get started gonna have to do local work until your 21 or 22 depending on the requirements in your state
With the knew law pass recently allowing 18 years old to get there cdl is pretty cool. I wish I could’ve got my CDL at 18 I would’ve been started a long time ago. Trucking is a great career. You’re young so you have time to try different things and find out what you like the best.
Can you tell me how you save your money and split your checks
I live a simple life. I’m very frugal and have a budget too. I live below my means. That’s it really. I also have my bill separated throughout the month so I don’t be having them all due at one time
Great idea for a video !
@@KaamilyaPleas thanks. I thought it was a good idea to start channel with this video
I'm looking for company to pay for my school
Look into a WIOA grant.
There’s a couple companies that will. But look into your state to see if they have grants
Go through the government, look up “government pay cdl school” and you will see grants for cdl training💯
Can we normalize speaking well? Getting educated? CDL= Commercial Driver’s License. No "S" on the end. Dang!!!
A simple mistake doesn’t make a person uneducated. DANG!!!!
What school did you go to
I went to a private independent school in Memphis called Drive Train
Can I take the class B test than rent a class B truck ryders
Yea
@@GrandMasterDeeTV ok thanks
Who u work for?
Performance food group
How many cdls do you have
bruh you can only have one CDL at a time.
😂😂
There are 3 CDL types you can either have your class A class B or class C all of them determines what types of vehicles you can drive 😊
Lmaooo😂
Its not "CDL'S" its just one "Commercial Drivers License" "CDL"
Thanks for looking out but I must say my
grammar is correct. An apostrophe followed by S indicates possession(ownership). FYI
@GrandMasterDeeTV ummm can you prove that?? Last time I checked...an apostrophe followed by s meant more than one
@@sagnbaby get sum money yung on here d eatin
@@kdwilliams3664 do what????
Lol he’s halfway right. ‘S after a name or place shows possession ( that’s Lance’s dog) but in this case “CDL’s” means more than 1 like ya got 2 or 3
Be gone a lot. But better than going to prison.
H*ll yeah lmao
Not vehicle related
I do not understand
I make 1500$ a week as a journeyman carpenter (union) but I want to get my CDL I heard tankers make some what the most? I wanna know where or what I can do to get paid more than what I’m making now anyone?
Tanker pays ok the money really comes from foodservice (us foods, Sysco, performance food group etc) it’s hard work for sure and I’m set to make 150k this year
Bro I work for woodfruittcher (driver) and I make that a week 😭😭 I’m 21 been with the company for a year
1500 a week would be a great job as a trucker, gonna take experience and prob doing something dangerous to get something better than that
I would stay at your job right now. Wait till things get better
@@LV84CC I agree with him. Food service is yo best bet in making the most money in trucking. It hard work but it pays
