So long story short he quit AMAZON because there have been a lack of loads... There saved you all 15 mins so you don't have to waste time like I did.
Show Enuff likes hearing himself talk. Kinda like a wrestling promo.
Y'all slow
Real nigga
Hang in there, Wild Beard. My Father was a truck driver for 20 years after turning wrenches for 20 years. Talk about a hard life. He covered over 2 million miles in his trucking carrier. Driving for different companies for 10 years and then as a owner operator the last 10. Owner operator was challenging financial wise but had the freedom to work when he wanted to. So you just have to choose. Money or freedom. He was a good man. He represented the trucking community well. Looks like you are doing the same. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
I appreciate that man.
$1,000 a day? I made that in 1985 when fuel was 95 cents a gallon, insurance was $1200 a year, and my truck payment was $1140 a month.
Those days no longer exist. Move on
@@ahmllc27 let Al Bundy reminisce on his glory days at polk high
Lol. It's still good money
@@youvids9820 1000 a day is no good
I hope you're not still driving. Lol
At the end of the day you make the moves that’s best for you. You’re doing awesome brother. ✊🏾
For real! I appreciate that man!
At first, I was like I don't need any negativity about trucking but then I clicked on and listen to your content and the rest is history. Never give up and only the strong survive. Congrats on gaining a new sub
"Is it easy to back into" bro you had me crying lmmfao. I need your energy man. Please find a way to transfer your positivity to me haha. I've been struggling lately. Also, getting out of your comfort zone = growing. It's all about growing in life. You're doing a great job Brother.
That ending though. Nothing but love bro. Keep fighting.
Man I appreciate that if I can encourage and make people laugh I’m all about it.
True! Raw positivity is powerful! One lane closes another will open. @wildbeardtrucking
@@WildBeardTrucking do you know any company that may have interest to hire immigrants overseas truckers? I'm Emerson from Brazil man and intend to move to America looking for a job offer for this position. If you know something like that just hit me up ok dude. Cheers from Brazil man
I quit trying to get insurance to run for amazon because I read they may suspend you for your political views so I decided I don’t need to work for people like that but good luck with your new venture
Amazon rates suck!!!!!!!Dry van operators are averaging 7-10k a week now off the board.Amazon ain’t paying that
My dispatched vans are putting 7000-9500 each week. $3.20 per mile average this week. Amazon induces poverty unless u get to Q4 Christmas season.
I fought trucking for 40 years glad to see the new generation take over.lol
Hahaha 🤣 I hear ya man somebody has to keep fighting lol
This new generation of drivers leaves a lot to be desired. Damn sure ain't what it is to be.
Gotta role with the changes. You are a hard worker and love the positivity through the difficult times. Stay safe Mr Wildbeard
You’re always an encouragement mrs Judy thank you :)
Every time he says "dude" or "man", take a shot. I did and I got pretty snookered!
It happens to the best of us man! 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽
6 shots in under a minute?
Love the way you keep your head up and pass the positive vibes on to others. Life wouldn’t be very interesting if everything went right and perfect every day. These trials make us really appreciate the good times. ✌️
Dude I hear your pain . Stay positive and push on. Somebody always has it worse. I haven't turned a wheel I 7 weeks. I broke my collarbone in 2 places . Payments are going out nothing coming in. But it will all workout in the end . One way or another. ✌
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 for you. I have my own medicals. But I’d definitely say if your on Instagram check out Alix_goodenergy. He’s 🔥 on a lot. Not to take anything away from wild beard I respect and love his page. I’m speaking on getting you 💰 while home in your field trucking. As so me Wish you healing 🙏🏽
crazy bro Niagra did me like that the other day bro i left after 5 hours bro, they are a trip with that kiosk checkout too.. just found the channel about to sub bro drive safe, and as far as the robots that is new news crazy too they wanna do away with the forklift driver... and dont trip on the 2 weeks BEARD whatever you lose you get back double my guy...
Mad respect brother be safe out there for real! 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽
Keep on keepin’ on man! Just think how good the good days will be after all these bad days. Makes ‘em all the sweeter!
That’s what I always do stay on the up and up!
The last 20 secs of keep fighting and never give up. Dam that was right on time
Amazon ask me if I wanted a amazon truck I said no ,I herd from another driver you can’t run your other trucks if you have any. Rates aren’t good,they control it all.
That's because you're comfortable with yours..
my boy trucking! you don’t run into many hippies running 18’s!!!!! Love this guy dudeeeee mannnnn
Hello,how are you doing?
Brother l know this is Late DON'T DON'T DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! You are a Good Man with a AMAZING AWESOME Soul and You have a Awesome Baby on the Way things Will and are already getting better Don't Let the Devil steal your Joy It will get better and You are going to Look back at all of this and Laugh about it GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!!!!!
That is so cool, that when you are in a low of your own. You have nothing but inspiration for others.
Some days it rains and some days it shines. When it’s rough remember that it shall pass. Can’t enjoy the good days as much without a few stinkers.
That’s the truth!!!
I'm taking the AZ course in June, I love learning from videos. Cool beard BTW.
U can do it
As a trucker mom from TX. Im proud of you!!! Take me with you. I got my CDL!!!
I’d love to
Thanks my brother for your videos. Very genuine and real and honest.
Hey man nice video. The message at the end was a surprise and didn't realize that I needed to hear that.
We're behind you 100% for you to better yourself and Family
I appreciate that brother
Interesting video, kinda ran into it randomly and thought, yeah, let me check this guy out and see what he's about, I'm glad I did,,, You have an upbeat vibe and a positive outlook, it's not always easy is it? reminds me of something I read recently. that's kind of fitting for your particular time frame your in.
"A good pilot does not become good flying only in calm sky's, it's only thru rough times and rough weather that make the pilot a good one"
This is true for everything and a good medafore for almost all situations that life tends to toss at us. stay grounded and move on and roll with the punches as best you can. if all else fails, find yourself a nice tree and sit under it for a bit and ponder things and everything will become a lot more clearer and peaceful.
I appreciate this man. Thank you for being encouraging!
It would be helpful if you explained who will pay for the cancelled load/and 4hr waiting time. Noticed a few others advertising GP transco, just to get paid; I know everything is about making money; everyone please remember to research a company/truck/service first before making a decision. Good luck on on the journey.
Swift has tons of loads, you will always be busy and no forced dispatch!
How much owner ops make per week?
Me and grandma were wondering how you were doing. Good to see you again.
😂😂
Tell grandma I love her!! 🤣😂 seriously be safe out there my friend!!
Don't get depressed....I hear it's a big deal in OTR.
I hear so much conflicting info about trying to be an O/O, I can't bring myself to cross over to it.
Here's the thing....there are people who want to be controlled by an employer for a lifetime, then there are those who see unlimited opportunity in the industry....I am more the latter, but I had some unexpected financial set-backs recently, so I know better than to go in broke....not a good idea.
Get DAT, see where the hot market is, put your truck there and follow the market. Get tired, deadhead home and rest as long as you want....that's the beauty of it...total freedom.
Wish I could say the same right now, but it's not my time I guess.
What up man good job man keep fighting don't be a slave for no One OG from Georgia later brother ✌️
You got to keep up the fight brother!!! Winners are the people who put in that work no matter the situation!!!’ Stand tall on top of the Mountain brother!!!! You got this 😎✌️
That’s the truth!!
Keep it up..
I drove for Prime and other independent companies. I drove Freightliner, Kenworth, Volvo but never Peterbilt.
Dah real deal love 💕
Gotta say ur mentality to keep goin is awesome never give up brotha u aint alone
So thats why Amazon put up ads wanting us to invest in business!
Nope, wont happen.
Bro... awesome patience bro, I don't know that I would have had that much patience bro.... But that's awesome 2 see... Keep Rollin
I did about 2 loads for amazon, they have nothing but cheap freight. They asked me to get general liability insurance to start hauling loads and it just a waste of time. I am doing light speed better at the loadboard hauling everywhere.
What loadboard are you using?
@@yoban360 dat
Best thing to do is get your own authority you will make more money.
You had me going that Peterbuilt did look nice behind you. 😆
Wal-Mart is one of the best paying company's out there, I don't know if they use OO but I've read they treat their drivers well.
I hate Amazon. They're always canceling loads. They piss me off.
hey bro stick with it better days will come belive it could be worse, spent 30 years out here now iam driving a wheel chair. .respect one luv, 2 cats we out,
Bro I’ll been trucking for 13yrs, owning trucks for 8yrs.. Amazon is low on rates but I haven’t found a model that’s better than it.. just because of what u just went thru.. U may need too rethink that Amazon deal,, the money isn’t the best but the loads & model is..
They do have a good model to go off of. It’s a smooth easy transition. I just wish they could get more loads available.
@@WildBeardTrucking yes sir,, I am training off of them rightnow.. it’s super slow for teams, I am from Bama it’s crazy solo loads moving but hey I take it as less on the truck,, plus I love the fact of durning empty back trips from Texas or Florida.. That’s all the savings right there for me. Be good bro!
This dude... Works for Hirchbauch and it's great. Then it sucks. Buys a truck that he loves, then it sucks. Drives for Amazon and its great, now it sucks. 🤣
😂😂🤣
did you ever pick up in Dallas at Amazon. that place alone looking at it as I drive by would keep me away .
There ya go bubba keep on grinding It's all part of truckin my brother much love to u and wild eyes
Much respect and love to you as well brother.
Man, totally understand you. That last message is key. Hope new guys litsening hear you out. It is extremely important to keep your head up. All these downs are part of the job. Its all about consistency. Bless you brother. Keep up the great content!
I appreciate that man
It's been a minute, glad to see ya back on the Tube doing good things 👍
I appreciate that.
Pullin that jb hunt trailer 😜
Busted
Too funny. Now Wild Beard has to work on next video.
Hello,how are you doing?
Man, get your own authority and get your own trailer.....that's where the money is. I'm booking $4+ right now on shorter hauls, not all heavy weight.
What load board are you using? What area?
@@WildBeardTrucking I use CH Robinson, Coyote, Uber and sometimes JBH or TQL. I don't like JBH, they're cheap and TQL just isn't easy to deal with.
I like to run Midwest and southeast...no Florida, no Texas...and I go home to the Northeast which always pays well going in...coming out, not so much.
If so, welcome aboard. Plastic fittings busted on coolant hose on first trip in my T680. Those are recalled by Paccar but fix as fail. Dealer paid tow so maybe check on that. Hang in there bro
Yes that’s exactly what it was too the plastic fitting.
@@WildBeardTrucking That should be a free repair and they should do the others while they have it. I think there are 4 total and they're hard to get to. I got towed to Atlanta KW on a friday night and they got me out Sunday evening
@@WildBeardTrucking edited my comment in case it was a spoiler
Stay strong it all going to work itself out and pay off
I have my own authority I was running with Amazon for about a year. I quit running with them last week actually. I know what you mean I got tired of running nights and just feeling like some type of employee period and any problem that you have just will not get settled. Having call centers outside the country people don't even understand what's going on here I still need to watch your video but I had to ask the repairs done and Amazon had me on contract when my truck broke down there was no leniency it destroyed my company's rating for 6 weeks after that I said enough. I'm running on other load boards and it's actually better than Amazon. Amazon makes things really comfortable
Yer pulling for jb hunt!! I saw the trailer!!!
That’s the shit I don’t like, you get there on time then they got you waiting 4 hours but if your 15 minutes late they they raise hell
I know man it’s the industry we work in. Something has got to change.
Bro. Ran across your vid and you gained a new sub. Love the mindset broski
You Tell Us How Great GO TRANSCO IS..!! >> So, > Why Don’t You Drive For Them??????
True , why Wild dont Drive for GP Transco
Lol I’m happy as is! GP pays me for advertising and I feel good putting them out there. I leave it up to the driver to investigate further.
@@WildBeardTrucking Understand is only adverstising , Who is interested need Contact GP Transco.
Bro if u are going to make it in this world u can never stop fighting caus the minute u do u will be eaten up and spit back out bro never give up and I can see u got fight in u so just keep swinging
Truth!!
It's just a rubber hose man they will get you up and going don't even sweat it great video
I appreciate that I’m back on the road today.
Hey dat has a free version for Flatbed I'm seeing three and four dollars a mile TNT Trailer Rental has flatbeds
GOD BLESS
Stay strong bro. 💪
Solid video man. Good vibes
Never give up ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for the encouragement. I've been driving for a yr got a day off to help my recently wedded wife set up for our wedding reception and got the call to come to work .. infuriating to say the least. Company driver so I need the hours but man I'm sick of it. Your video really helped me. I need to stick with it save the money and get me a truck that's what I want. Won't be home as much but I'm sick of making other people money. Got some years before it will happen but I hope to be out on the road before too long thank you again
I could pay cash for a 60k dollar decent truck. No payments. I'm single with no obligations. I'm still scared to death I'd go broke with my own truck. Even with no bills and living in the truck im afraid I'd drown in expenses.
60k can buy a gray truck from an owner op. An older classic xl , w9 well taken care of with little to no electronic stuff. Of that 60 45 for the truck and 15 for maintenance/ fuel insurance, food etc to float until the money starts flowing steady. Remember to give Caesar his cut first and you’ll be fine.
And I’ve pulled that trailer!!!
I just found your channel. Really dig your enthusiasm about our lifestyle. I am following. Great video
Mad respect I appreciate that!
The dude on the phone at Niagra sounded like the night shift guy at Niagra in Plainfield Indiana
It was in Kansas City.
Welcome back bro. Stay safe out on the road.
Thank you brother.
Keep it up brother!!! 💪 your decision is the best choice for you and your family 👪 thanks for the videos you make to encourage the people's.
I like your videos man nothing but respect but if it really comes down to it and we’re gonna be honest here, it’s all people like you who make these videos and post them to CZcams and a lot of people are coming into trucking! Everyone and there moms is doing Amazon right now. Thats another reason why the prices of trucks sky rocketed. Sometimes this kinda info should cost money.
Hahaha. I can’t charge for this stuff I’m just keeping everything else on the DL for the mean time.
am pulling for amazon and about to kicki'm to the curb the loads dont pay
Quitters don’t win and winners don’t quit, keep fighting
Tried Michelin on my trucks but didn't get shit for mileage out of them, and all my o/o friends have said the same. Which is weird because I run Michelin on my cars and they are by far the best
Your videos are awesome and full of wisdom. Love your positivity man and I agree NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Same here, spend $$$$ on the steer tires. Smart move
Looks like a viramontes express truck in the background from socal
YO WB!!!! What’s good!! Yeah you are definitely right. The rates with Amazon are definitely not what I thought it was.
What are you doing now?
@@WildBeardTrucking I’m still doing Amazon freight but not as much. I’m pulling JB Hunt, Swift, Convoy. Pretty much whoever.
Glad to see your back brother.. stay strong for only the strong survive. Stay safe
Cool thing about being OO you run for who pays you more 💰
I just don't understand owner operators who run for somebody else's company stays home. That's the point of being an owner operator to run your way and when you wanna run.
All the best on your next adventure. Truck it safe brother.
Will do my best for sure!!
I heard them super ego holding owner operators getting 88% of the load and they only get 12% . im headed there in June
Hey whazzup Man. Some dude should tell this Bro he is wearing his cap backwards. Man. Love you Bro.
The JB Hunt 360 load board is pretty good if that’s what your using now.
Sounds like niagara water they do the bills just like that
That's a fact 💯 👌
Awesome video man! Keep up the great work.
Griff the freaking OG bro!!!
Been driving since July 1991 haven't had a flat on steer yet I see drivers now in rest area run in run out not check truck DRIVER check ur truck it can keep you alive
You are very welcome my friend keep up the good work and do not be afraid of asking for 100% FUEL SURCHARGE , you never get what you don't ask for.
A Driver here that got out of an 18 Wheeler and off the road.. Here in Charlotte, NC.. He drives A 26 ft. Box Truck for A Guy hauling for Amazon. $1600.00 A Week.!! - Plus His Brother is driving His other Truck that He owns for Amazon Too. He is getting another truck for His Sister to drive for Amazon. He told Me with His $1600.00 and after all expenses with the other two trucks He will be at $2800.00 a week Total and Home Everyday!!! - Not Bad.. Cheaper Fuel and Insurance Too!!!
Some guys like hailing that stuff for sure.
love your energy
Shouldn't haul for Amazon anyway. They're cancel culture!
Much love brother from Crescent City Ca.
I receive that brother!
Gp transco wouldn't accept my application due to issues that were 4 or more years old. They didn't even tell me why until I got one of there drivers to give me the number for safety. I reached out to them about why my application was rejected multiple times, and they wouldn't give me to time of day.
Niagara won't let you on the dock to see the robots....sucks...
I noticed the J B Hunt trailer hooked up to your truck. How is the new lease working out?
What push you out of your comfort zone not haul a dry van
I love your attitude man, wish I was more like you.
Must have been in Grandview, Mo
Really close to there.
