- I see and hear truck drivers talk about and complain about how there is no money in trucking anymore but they always mainly talk about OTR when they say it, there’s money in trucking you just have to gain the experience, endorsements and be willing to work in order to make it.

LTL linehaul 80k - 130k. 1yr EXP needed. Hazmat/Tanker & Doubles and triples
I been driving 6 years, 1st year i made like 50k. Got my 1 year experience and went to LTL pulling doubles making minimum 1200a week, after about 2 years there i started getting real bread now im at 1700 a week mon-fri home every night with the option to work a extra day on the weekend for up to a extra 300-500 depending if they have loads. LTL overnights no touch freight is EASY bread.
Over the road is scam fr, driving way more miles, don't see home and end up making less than local drivers... makes no sense
That’s what I tell everyone go LTL worked for Conway for 9 yrs easy 6 figures
@@Obviousmethod facts, what does LTL stand for? and what company are you at now?
@AdrianRomeroJr less than truckload, I'm at Fedex ground. Ups if you need good benefits and plan on retiring there/estes/R&L/ old dominion etc.
Hi. There bro.
You talked about Food service, Hazmat, Tankerand Flatbed etc.
Great thinking you think out of the box.
Could you tell us more about Food service, Hazmat, Tanker and Flatbed etc?
Could anybody work more than 40 h in this food service if he works extra hours is going to be paid more?
And do these companies hire new drivers or what is the strategy of working with them?
Thanks for your generosity in giving info about this.

Salute to you bro 💪👍
You'll almost always get more than 40 hours in food service. You'll pretty much use your entire 70 hour clock every week. Some will hire new drivers as the turnover is crazy. You'll make good money because of how physical it is and the hours you'll work. I can't speak on any of the others you listed because I have not done them. I'm looking to get into fuel tankers but I don't have enough experience to get hired yet as every company near me wants a few years of experience.
I agree with what you said bro. I make $90K doing Dollar Tree, but it’s not for everyone. Hoping I can finally cross that $100K mark this year, even though it’s not gonna make that much of a difference with this crazy inflation.
Keep grinding, it ain’t for everybody because not everybody want to work hard for it, nothing good comes easy.
I’m not even 21 yet; I have to wait five more months. I already got my license through Amazon Manual 10-speed. I just need to get my hazmat and tanker endorsements. When people try to get their license through a mega carrier, they’re not really making any money, that’s why they leave after a couple of months. I think you might have better options if you already have your license without a mega carrier. You’re not really taking a pay cut because these food delivery jobs are hiring people without experience. I don’t know why people don’t go for that. And if you have your license already, Amazon freight partners; some will hire without experience from what I’ve been seeing. I’m most likely going that route in October just to get like 5 months’ experience
That’s good you have a plan, I think people don’t consider food service because it’s not talked about when it comes to trucking. OTR is pretty much the highlight of trucking and whats recommended to get that experience in.
Trust and believe food service is not what you think it is.I look forward to hearing from you after doing food service.Remember this" Their is only two things that work hard all the time 1) A Fool 2) A maggot " Work smarter Not Harder!!!
Thanks for you input!
Hourly is the best way to go
Yeah I definitely prefer local & paid by the hour
what's LTL
And what’s even more crazy is that I know someone that I was in cdl school with he went with swift this mf getting 600 a week hell nah and that otr told him he should’ve done food delivery or third party Amazon partners cuz that’s just robbery
I use to drive a dump truck back in 1989 in new York city for the local 282 teamsters union. I was making 50$ an hour only driving locally to local construction sites no labor involved only driving. 50$ an hour back in 1989 eas getting PAIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD😂
That was before I was even born so I can imagine how far you got with that type of money at the time
No as a trucker for over 15 years no you rather find a regular job. They don’t.
Nope. No money. Just wasting life
What made you come to that conclusion?
@@rydewithty experience
mega Carriers pay peanuts, mom and pop pay a lil more but no benefits a lot of times 1099 and low fright with bad equipment, hourly trucking jobs are very few and not to mention most want you to put in 60 hours a week average with no overtime, so is not worth it

Idk who you drive for. But I gross six digit a year
Where can I get those glasses in the thumbnail ???????
They’re fire huh🔥 I got it from the CVS near my house. I have a few others I got off Amazon go order some they have some dope ones
what about the ports dealing with containers?
I honestly don’t know much about that but that’s definitely an occupation to consider I haven’t thought about that. I’m sure you’ll probably need a crane or hoisting license which will also be something good to have under your belt.
LTL and Hazmat makes money.
I love your channel bro, I drove trucks in the marines and im getting my CDL this month. Do you have a instagram?
Thanks bro I appreciate that, are you still in the marines that’s so dope? But I don’t have a IG yet but I’ll be making one soon
look up I’m Anthony TV work for Gordan food service and TayTheLocalTrucker work for US food

That’s why I laughed when I said lol I hate hearing it like that
Ik that shits annoying like it’s CDL 😂
@calieboy1509 I be trying not to laugh hella ppl say get ya cldz😂
