I appreciate you good looking out for especially for us new guys because I’m excited to get started!💪🏽
Really appreciate the feedback man. Just want to try and help out where I can!
Your comments regarding how to carry ones self, appearance, etc was well articulated brother!
I really appreciate it man! Didn’t wanna upset people but still tried to get my point across.
Speak the truth and stay true to yourself. Love watching. Studing for my CDL A
Stay safe
Appreciate that sir. Hope others are as receptive as this as well!
Also, good luck on the testing! With some studying, it should go great! Make sure you study the General Knowledge as well as the Combination tests. Both will be needed for this work.
Subscribed, great video man, thanks for this.
I'm new so I'm trying to learn as much as possible
I appreciate your approach and the info. Retiring soon and looking at this for my second career. Keep it up.
I’m really glad you like it. Congrats on retirement! Hope you continue to find this stuff educational and at least a little entertaining.
Look forward to more videos. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I’d be interested in how you negotiate higher rates. Thanks for all the great videos!
You're right about these guys and their character, im seeing alot of disrespectful hoodlums entering the business, dirty trucks, unknowledgable of rules and regs and no interest to learn them. And you're right about the forums they're brutal these guys are getting ripped apart on there.
I agree. I just hope we can all take some pride in ourselves and be actual mentors to others.
Hey, I love your content. Being a veteran I truly appreciate your outlook on Brotherhood and be professional!
One question… do you recommend getting a CB for the truck? Is that too old school?
Hi Craig, thank you for the content. I have enjoyed all your videos. You mentioned other drivers not wanting the rates to be driven down, that is fear. Fear makes people act in irrational and unfortunate ways. The Union, the brother and sisterhood needs to make a comeback; that is the tool to lift and keep rates up as well as lift up, educate, and inform one another. Just my opinion there. How long did you lease on for? Was the pay percentage or per mile?
I really appreciate you saying that. I fully agree.
I leased on for right at a year. It was all paid on a percentage of gross line haul since I owned all my own equipment and paid all my own expenses. I was lucky and found a guy that let me start booking my own freight really quickly so I always knew the exact numbers.
One of the first things I noticed watching your vids was that you spoke proper English and that your personal grooming was good. Too bad about more drivers don't care about their image.
Maybe a dumb question, but do they sell a wind deflector you can attach to the roof of your truck, like the big rigs, to reduce drag from tall loads?
Hello again. Like I say I'm from Cali I want to start my own authority non cdl. I just want to start that way then get my cdl and move into more weight. For now I need some help to start. I have enough capital that I can say I'll be almost debt free. Thank you for your help
Just wondering if you are in the position to lease on an owner operator. Your the kind of person I'd put my trust and hard work into for us both to benefit from the relationship.
What headset are you using?

@@shipleytransport3211 awesome, thanks. New Hotshot Trucker here. In my first week and noticing I need one lol.
@@bigchevy205 they absolutely come in handy lol. Congrats on being out here and good luck moving forward!!!
Do you hire
That’s a good question. We are not currently brining anyone on. Looking to do that around November. Check back with me closer to then!
At some point you are going to realize your not doing your miles and pay rates correctly
You are taking jobs based on total miles not loaded miles per contract!
You have been off by a lot on your rate per miles on your calculations
I’m a 43 year company CDL 18 wheeler ups driver
Over 5 million mile and still driving
If
You have to drive to your next paying load then your using miles per rate to get your load out of your payment for the load
Not showing anything. Just sitting in your truck yapping. Why don’t you show what you did; booking the load, picking up the load, delivering, driving, etc.?
FYI ! If you watch all his videos you would see that he does share all those things you have mentioned. If you do not like Craig's content , then don't watch it. Your negativity is exactly what he is speaking of. How about having some self integrity.
Well these videos are more so educational and shot from my phone. I do not yet have the ability/desire to add in all of the entertainment value of other CZcamsrs. Maybe it’ll come some time down the road. Either way, hope they help in some way.
@@shipleytransport3211 dont listen to people like that negative input. ive been driving for 30 yrs, move on . you are correct on how to take care of each other the industry has changed a whole lot since i started . good job on what your doing might see you on the road one day. im coming out of texas HAMMS HAULING & TRANSPORT. no road rage and be careful,
@@laghatter really appreciate the feedback sir! Just want to try to help anywhere I can. Really hope to see you out there sooner or later!
@@shipleytransport3211 your doing good work and you have good information. Alot of people want the work done for them. Last thing I will say its about equipment and knowing how to take care of it and utilize the situation. God bless 🙏
