Congratulations guys! So happy to hear you nailed your first month as owner/ operators.
We wish you both continued success and happiness.
Thank you both, we really appreciate it!
Its like the best of both worlds. The space of a semi but the size of a box truck. You aint gotta worry about small roads
Wife and I have been OTR O/O for about 9 years now. We are interested in MAYBE doing expedite someday. The idea of being free of trailers is very appealing, plus the fancier, better equipped sleeper (we would only take a truck with a shower and turlet) . I do have a couple questions after watching this. One, why did one of your trucks have a lower weight ability than another? Second, why is the oil a special oil vs basic diesel truck oil?
those are EXCELLENT questions
I’m watching every video to learn more, I’m even more excited about becoming an owner operator doing expediting on my own. Now I just have to save up so I can get me a truck
You can do it! We started in expediting driving for a fleet owner, so we learned on someone else's dime to make sure it was a good fit for us.... You only fail in life when you don't try. A good source of info for expediting is thecrafty truckers on CZcams.
There are some company that you can sign a lease agreement. And help buy the truck
@@ericcarter2020 most of those over charge and have the power to take back the truck before your last payment and not refund you.
Me too...exactly...I'm a little age in this but I'm looking to just live on the road while continuing my career
@@ericcarter2020Terrible idea!
Glad to hear that you guys did so very well in your first month with your own authority!!! You should easily be able to order that oil through Amazon and have it delivered to your home or an Amazon locker like when you were in New Mixico waiting a week for your next load. Easy peezy. Personally, I would go with AMSOIL, but everyone has their own personal preferences. I have been using it exclusively since 1980. Best of luck to both of you!!!!
Thank you very much for the info. We are under another carriers authority, we just own the truck.
Love that y'all are doing so well! Wife and I left FedEx a while back. But damn if I miss it. If we ever move to the Midwest I'd definitely come back. We live in Texas and home time just wasn't it.
I understand that. It's a lot easier for us living in Ohio.
@@TruckandTravel I may have to look into ohio lol, because i sure do miss it! We went ltl and we make damn good money. But expediting was just too much fun.
I was looking into starting a business with these trucks this year and was told by many that it wasn’t worth it. Seeing your video pop up and watching it made me stand on my decision more! Thank you!
This video was done months ago. Trucking is like the stock market. It goes up and down. That was our best month ever and never matched it.
Glad to hear y'all are doing well have a great Thanksgiving and God bless you both
Thanks Kenneth. God Bless you and we hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well!
I'm about to buy a straight truck straight truck and I like those numbers you grossed. Just thought the vid had a little too much extra info not necessary for my reasoning. Keep up the good work.
Those numbers do not happen every month. We are selling this truck
I really appreciate this video. Very informative & thorough. I have a good insight on what to expect in the expedite world . Thanks a bunch !
This was our best month. Thanks for watching.
Amazed at how much that little truck can make
This was the most we made. We have heard of others doing way better then us.
It’s been awhile! Glad you guys are doing good out there! Stay safe, give me a call sometime. Happy thanksgiving!
There he is. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. God Bless
Great video guys! Loved the format and round up!
Thank you!
Knew a a guy that had one of these trucks that would deliver furniture to the states for the upholstery company I work for. Always though it was a cool little truck haha
Awesome job you to...Safe travels and Happy Holidays 😊
Thank you MrTazz! Happy Thanksgiving!
i use to charge customers 75$ to use the tailgate you can make big money on these small trucks believe me
That's awesome 👍
What is the GVWR of something like that?
Gald to see y'all posting again. Stay safe and keep it up :)
Thank you Jason
Love this video. Editing and narrating were very cool.
Thanks man. I appreciate it, especially from you.
Watching from G.A, let’s go DAWGS. Thanks for sharing. Please keep the vids coming. Keep on trucking 👍👍👍👏
Thank you for watching! 🇺🇸
If I ever honestly consider stop driving trucks in Europe and go to the US I would do expediting but that's just a thought.
Our favorite way to teuck
What’s does the take home usually look like?
I really enjoyed this video and the quality was great 👍. I'm super happy for y'all regarding the $$$ made as OWNER OPERATORS 😊 😀!!! Woo hoo!! Dave Ramsey approved for sure 😆. Kitties are most pleased about their "cat walk" 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ happy meow meows 😆
Have an awesome day y'all 😎.
Derrick...focused on the $$$ to pay off bills..."Uncle Dave" would be super duper proud of you! Almost as much as Cinnamon! Take care y'all 🙂
Thank you David I appreciate it. We worked hard on the video and in May. 👍
@@TruckandTravel it shows! Salute!
What CDL do you need, I had a CDL-A but I dropped it because I fell out of love with LTL but I miss OTR and want to get into box truck with a sleeper
CDL A or B works
Close to the size I want, CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you
What is the difference with your truck then driving a normal semi
First while watching Yellowstone season 5 episode 3 in sub freezing arctic weather 🥶🥶
Bitter sweet
$38 k gross , how about the net , after : fuel , repairs , insurance...
For example my dump truck grossed $120 k a year but my net was $70 , from that I took a salary and reinvested the rest.
I did see you answered someone that you each paid yourselves $7k , so $38 - $14 = $24 , does that mean your expenses ( fuel...) we're $24 k ?
Thanks
so we pay us and we pay the business so it has money to run itself. Our line of work isn't one I would grow right now. I think a lot of things will hit the fan. This was our best month ever, doing this for around 3 and a half years. It would probably be better to drive for a fleet owner then to buy your own truck. ours used was 27,500 used with a bit of money put into it. New one would go for $350-375. Fuel prices are rising and now the rates are going back to pre covid era.
I hear ya @@TruckandTravel , the only reason I'm thinking about an expedite truck is that I'm semi retired and think the truck will make an excellent RV / toy hauler ,put a UTV in the back , live in the front. Take loads when I feel like it , rest and relax when I don't , work truck when I want it RV when I want that.
I would drive for someone first that own these trucks and see if you think it would be a fit for you. A try before you buy.
Owner op. Since 1988. It's fun and a good life.
I could only imagine how many miles you have done.
I know those guys. They’re awesome too 👊🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We wouldn't be in expediting if it wasn't for them.
I drove 1 of these for a outfit forced to be team driver rent the rig; I only drive solo now
How was it?
@@winstonhill4891if I didn't have to just be subcontracted for fed it might been ok most loads only $25 to $100.
wait what? $25 to $100??? Doesn't Sound like you drove for FedEx Custom Critical
Anybody with a 1 ton pickup with diesal engine can hot shot up to 24000 lbs pull.
Unfortunately the freight we took couldn't be done by a hotshot.
@@TruckandTravelI did a box van like with outfit sub moved for fedex back in 2018; most loads i seen available only paid $100 max ; found real hard make good living driving your type rig; but glad you being blessed.
Northeast Ohio here, btw.
Nice
Do you need a cdl class b
Great video!!
Thanks James, stay safe out there! Happy Thanksgiving!
@@TruckandTravel y’all too and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Just found your channel and I'm loving it so far. question, how does one get ones feet wet in this? I'm debt free and have some cash saved up to use for a business opportunity.
I would drive for another fleet owner first and see if it fits what you wanna do first.
How do y'all find loads? what load board do y'all use?
We are leased on with FedEx Custom Critical. We use their load board.
You got your Ford fixed?
Yes, we got it running back in April.
Were you guys driving on K4 southbound in Topeka Friday? I think I saw your truck. I’ve never seen one like that. It’s very uniqu
Friday we was in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Cinnamon rocks, amd love her narration.
AYYYYYE, that was the digital signage thing on 309 in Quakertown 😂 I recognize that quick shot....
She's pretty good.
4000 is crazy
My question is not gross but net profit
Hey champ congrats. I been trying to find one of these online. What is the name of that model and how much did it cost? Thanks
New $375,000. We are selling our used truck for $55,000.
@@TruckandTravel gotchu. Appreciate the response
I have been an OtR driver for 5 years and want to get my wife behind the wheel as a team. We just need to make about 5k per month bring home. Who would you recommend I work for to get my feet wet before buying a truck?
We only have experience as FedEx Custom Critical Independent Contractors. One of the biggest fleets in FedEx Custom Critical is Hyfield Trucking.
@@TruckandTravel do you how I can get a contract with FedEx ?
Guess its time tinsave up for another drive axle. Costly, but im sure itll pay off. I know you said Gross pay, but what's the total after expenses?
We are considering it.
@@TruckandTravel awesome. Cant wait to see. I know you guys said gross, but whats the take home after? If you figured out and want to disclose.
If I read the notes correctly.... as a couple we took $14,025 gross.
Sleeper size being smaller and a 4k weight limit? I see they went from a one million plus dollar truck to this $150,000 and their lives are just terrible now.
What are you talking about
@TruckandTravel do you have a suggestion regarding purchasing a truck is there a email address i can message yall .
@@courtneyknight368 you can buy a straight Expeditor Truck for $40,000-$70,000 2017 or newer with under 500,000 miles

Does does this turn like a box truck or semi
It is a box truck
Is that the same spot at the loves in New Mexico 🤔
Lol yes. This might be footage from the time period we hung out. Curly fries are better 💪👍🇺🇸
@@TruckandTravel think the curls went to your head 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They're that good 👍
What's the average Mpg on this baby
Do you need drive i have cdl class a
This size of truck requires a minimum of a CDL B
@@TruckandTravel yes I have a cdl class a but I’m new driver but I have 2 yr dilevery with 26 ft box truck non cdl
That truck can only hold a load of 4,000 LBS? You may have boxed yourself in with that truck. (Pun Intended)
We've added a 3rd axle
38 k. Well done!
Thank you
How much percentage goes to NET PAY of the Truck, After the Gross ?
@@andrecollins2820 this month we each got $7,012. We are gonna pay ourselves less in 2023, so we can be in a lower tax bracket. Give the government less.
@@TruckandTravel so from $38k gross to $14,024 net? This is after fuel and whatever the co who has the authority takes a cut? Not food though right?
@@dskains we own this truck. It Grossed 38k. We pay ourselves a percentage. We paid ourselves 14k before tax. The rest went to the business and business experiences. This was our best month. Truck is usually grossing in the 20's.
Guys can you please tell me where did you fix your truck. I need to fix mine 🙏
Fyda Freightliner Columbus OH
@@TruckandTravel thank you guys :( through your insurance? Did you pay the deductible?
When the truck backed up into us, we paid nothing. Other drivers insurance paid.
When the car hit and ran we paid cash to fix it.
@@TruckandTravel thank you 🙏 so did you call safety department or I just need to call protective and do the claim through them? Mine was the same side and same damage how much was yours $$?

Whats your RPM for expedite
It's varies
Why buy a truck that can only haul 4000 pounds??
Because we haul light sensitive freight
Thanks for the reply, good luck.👍👍
😻😻
Thanks for watching pigybak
Can I drive this with a class a?
Yes a Class A or B
Also need air breaks
why you can only carry 4000 lbs
That's what the truck is rated at
So you're considered an RV?
People with these kind of trucks do occasionally take them to camp grounds.
Yeah but do you need class A . You ever see street outlaws. Their rigs are 13 speed but RVs most have class c. I'm asking because I wanna get into hobby truck ing I'm retired something to do.
I've seen a couple in their early 70's at FedEx Custom Critical doing D.O.D. loads. They was about to retire.
For these trucks you need a minimum of CDL B.
We both got our CDL A just in case.
If the truck is owned by a fleet owner it is more than likely an automatic. Freightliner M2's will have a 6 or 10 speed automatic. Freightliner Cascadia will have a 12 speed automatic.
for that type of truck work you need CDL
This one you do. I've heard of lighter trucks that you don't. This sleeper adds a lot of weight.
Deuce
Thanks for watching 👍
O
You talk to much with not getting to the point it’s crazy really
Why only 4K lbs? Doesn’t seem near enough!
We did end up adding another axle to handle more weight
you go this small and still cant smoke weed, i dont get the point
sleepers are for girls, trucking aint for girls
Thanks for watching
Crawl back under your bridge...
