Your no BS stance is refreshing , keep it up , don't change a thing! Thank you sir!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
My first job was XPO logistics and they had a 9000 dollar sign on bonus. This is true... if a company has a sign on bonus... it's because they suck. If it's a large bonus like XPOs, it's because they suck more. Don't fall for it like I did. If you quit there after they gave it to you, you'll be paying it back so remember that.
I was thinking about applying to xpo here in toronto. what makes them a bad company they pay experience guys $32 a hr here
@@classicxl that's great money compared to when I applied. It was $22ish. You load and unload your own trailers, you drive the truck (obviously) you unload the freight for the customers most of the time.
On the linehaul side of things, your trailers are loaded at night when you get to work, you drive to your destination which normally takes a few hours. You use a scanner gun and unload your trailers the load two more trailers to take back with you.
They call them "Mobile Dockworkers"
EDIT: this is just from my experience with the company at the location I worked at. Everyone has different experiences
As a company driver, I get paid load percentage and it's much more than I was making on mileage pay. Our freight rates are up too but I pull a pneumatic. When you have a specialized trailer which requires specialized equipment installed on the power unit then you have little competition when dry van, reefer, and flatbed freight starts to dry up. Most of my loads go to either water treatment plants, feed mills, and power generation stations. Regardless of the economy, people need water, food, and electricity. It's nearly a recession proof line of freight.
Wrong food shortage diesel shortage and an energy crisis, you are far from recession proof
Maybe a shortage of certain types of food, especially when it involves grain coming from overseas. I take ingredients to feed mills that make chicken feed and there's been no decrease in demand. I take bulk goods to water treatment plants such as salt and carbon, there's no decrease in demand there. I take bulk goods to nuclear power plants, the only decrease in demand is the seasonal decrease from people not using their A/C as much during the cooler temperatures. The only diesel involved in any of this is the diesel consumed by my truck. We have bumped up our rates while the rest of the industry is seeing a decline. We don't have freight brokers like you would running produce or frozen. I've done dry van and I've done reefer, dry bulk is not the same. There might be a decline in demand for things like cement or plastic pellets but I don't haul those, so I wouldn't know. I have yet, in the last 19 months of doing this job, have ever had to wait on a load. I'm off for the weekend and I know my next three loads coming up for next week. I always know my next load before I empty out on the previous one. To put things in perspective for you, a few weeks ago I ran a load of salt out of Cape Canaveral that paid $4.70 per mile. Meanwhile the reefers were complaining that they could only get $1 per mile leaving Florida so they were going to deadhead to Georgia.
You would think, brother
Hi, where do you find loads for hoppers? Are they posted on DAT?
@@jryank22 v good
I enjoyed the milage company that I drove for the past 21yrs pulling reefers, had a pet policy, let my wife team with me, just didn't like their policy against my 'road companions', Mr.45acp & Mr.12gauge.
Love the no bulshit straight up content. Fairly new to the industry and this channel has helped me in multiple ways. That plack is well deserved and I see more coming in your future. Thank you and your team for everything.

Thank you for posting this video! I always appreciate your views.
Thank you so much buddy
Congrats I been watching this channel for a least 3 years
I’ve made it a general rule to stick with reputable mid size carriers to mega carriers. You know what you’re getting into and their bs is minor.
I have to agree with you , i’ve always had better luck with the mega carriers and when ever i worked for a mom and pop company i got screwed
Damn man thanks you see through all the smoke and mirrors
Always have to be transparent! Thanks for watching!
Thank you SO SO much for sharing this video!!! Truckers are victims to so many scams.
Great video! Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Finally a fully truthful video!
Thanks For helping us 2year rookies not fail for the bait
My last company driver position. Percentage pay was pretty cool, I was averaging 0.81 cpm at my last job but my deadheads were getting bigger. That was not the cool part about percentage.
Hi from France, best video yet, you are one hell of a guy....
Congratulations on the 100k sub plaque. You really don't like those bs ads 😂. Need a NSFW warning at the beginning 🤣. Love watching your videos. Keep up the good content. 👍🏼

LMAO These scam ads really get to Ronen! Thanks for the info!
Very Interesting, I would love to hear you talk about Canadian adds and jobs
There is some great advice , do watch this video.
Yes!
Educational clip.
Hard to find an honest company.
I'm trying this about 15 years.
They just take advantage from drivers
Thanks!
Thanks for the positive feedback!!
So much true
100k subscriber's 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉 Woohoo!!!
I’m making 82% of the rate as a O/O. Lots of direct freight. Company has been around since 1948.
What company you work for or run loads for
To bring you to your attention look into SFI and their program
ET Vista or fry Miller I'm looking for a top company love your videos great content and open honest transparency
We will always be transparent on this channel! Thanks for watching!
I been leasing for years and it's a scam they cut rates
First video I’ve heard you swear that much. Thanks for the laugh. :)
As a newly license driver Im stuck working for a company for 2 years since I accepted the bonus. Or I can pay back the bonus amount and move on.
Luckily I don’t mind doing food service delivery for now since they’re paying very well.
However, my goal is to eventually move on to something that is less labor and more sitting down.
I just quit a decent lease to go local, 123 pm plus 53 fsc=$176 mile fsc changed sometimes weekly, only deduction is truck note 715 a week for 2022 cascadia Ryder and fuel, didn't have to pay for tires unless neglect they let me customize my lane which I loved, plus monthly and quarterly mileage bonuses, the overall price of the truck was pricey for the 4 year lease but it was a decent lease
Up too actually means," your lack of understanding."
I am currently working for an employer on a percentage basis. My rate is determined by loaded miles and weight. My pay since I started here six months ago has been more than most hourly drivers in my area. In fact, I am making as much as most OTR drivers, and I am home every night. You must look at the big picture to determine what the pay truly is.
As always buddy. Your information is great. Thank you again.
Component >>>> straight mileage
You hooked it, you dropped it, you waited for it to be loaded and unloaded. You should be getting paid for these things instead of essentially working for free performing the portions of the job where the wheels ain't turning.
It's honestly one of those things I appreciate about working for Frito-Lay right abouts now... $37.50 single D&H ($46 for doubles), $0.67/mi single ($0.69 for doubles), average of $0.09/case unloaded (average 2,000 cases per load), up to 6 days of work per week depending on how you bid followed by a 34 hour reset, home pretty much daily with company paid hotel stays when layovers are required. Average driver in this fleet makes $140k/yr, with the total range being expanded by +/-$30k
Our guys work under commision & make WAY more than they would per mile.
Up to ,Ahh it's happen to me .I called fedex ground contractor last year trying to get a job. He advertising 5000 $ a week split team.0.84 $a mille.he said that's the pay 0.78 $ .and advertising for busy season.
Flat rates are when you don't care about performance. If you are a driver that just wants to make a basic income then go for flat rates. If you are wanting to make lots of money as fast as you can then you go for the performance based ads. At the end of the day your flat rates will top out much faster for same amount of miles whereas you can make much more money with the performance based position.
Also you have to ask yourself WHY jobs get posted that are performance based vs flat rate. Both are different approaches for different results. Be wary of flat rate ads because the company likely has a high turnover, as a driver you should always ask "what is your monthly turnover % of drivers?" This will be an indication of a) how the company treats drivers b) types of drivers that work at the company. Another great question is to be able to talk to their top 3 drivers and ask them how it is to work at the company, follow that up with what they get paid on an annual basis. I guarantee you that the performance based company will be paying their top 3 drivers 20-30K more a year.
So in the end having it is best to really approach these types of things with an analytical mind and ask the "why?" questions instead of just calling one way of doing something BS.
Those jobs are for drivers that are un- hirable by big companies. Tickets DUI after you finish drug class etc.
👍👍
If you buy a vehicle and they have do upgrades then you factor that in to the price, Don’t because the new stuff isn’t your deal. You pay the price the book say’s…
Saw one of you guys trucks down in Atlanta today.
We are planning to open a terminal in Atlanta :)
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News just got my FAST card for Canada, might hit y'all up
I made the mistake of falling for an ad like these. A company was offering a relocation bonus that paid out half in 30 days and the other half in 60, then a sign on bonus after 12 months. Recruiter lied about job duties and home time, as well as license requirements (I have an automatic restriction, he said they would provide wanna automatic. They only had manual)
The dancing clown was my favorite but I see that bs all the time that's real talk
As a company i am paid hourly (overtime after 40 hrs) I usually run Montreal to Cambridge/Waterloo area. I now chuckle to myself at the poor clowns who are still doing mileage pennies per mile racing thru the 401 parking lot from Oshawa to Mississauga etc
Getting paid hourly is great as long as the company has work . The mega carrier I work for is so up and down i’m thinking of leaving
Hello Ronen and team see if you can make a video to bring more light to a bill that is in the U.S. senate as of september 13 2022, it would ammend the fair labor standards act of 1938, S. 4823 basically it would remove the overtime wage exemption for certain employees and other purposes by putting in place over time pay for truck drivers including OTR drivers. Taking into consideration that they are at work 24hrs a day since they are not home.
I get 85%, I do 2200-2400 miles per week, make over $8k per week. Way better than 1.75/mile plus fuel. That’s only thing I ever disagree with you about.
Beware of high bonuses
I hired on to a company that has a sizable sign on bonus. I talked to drivers who work there and they all say it's a great place to work.
With the recent changes of dol. Offering cent per mile it's going to be a thing of the past. Hey CZcamsr maybe you can answer this question is your company willing to hire people by the hour instead of by the mile?
And what would your company start off with? For young drivers if such a change is available?
What about those 1099 companies in Illinois always advertising?
As someone who's taking steps towards becoming a trucker, THANK YOU SO MUCH(!!!!!) for all the great advice!
Im not sure how true this next part is, but my guess as to why they say "up to XX¢-per-mile" is cuz its dependant how 1) how long youve been driving a Truck&Trailer, & 2) how clean your (commercial-) driving record is...? 🤷🏽♂️ Like i said, i dont know if thats the case or not, but a company i used to work for used that "up to $xx/hour" tactic when i was a sales-manager
Thank you for watching!!
According to the Labor Secretary, California’s AB-5 law is going to be implemented nationwide. So there will not be anymore leased owner operators. There will only be company drivers and Independents like me. Also there’s bi-partisan legislation in Washington that is going to repeal the trucker exemption in the Fair Labor Act so trucking companies are going to have to start paying time and a half after 40 hours of work. It’s about time on both subjects!! So tired of seeing these companies get rich ripping off their owner operators and drivers. ✌️
Spot rates are higher today than they were in 2019
Look for good news. People need to avoid bad news. Forever is real. Prepare yourself for that. 😉
👍👍
Lease purchase is a very bad idea
I get paid percent, I made my last Year's salary first 6 months. Sure it's slow but no risk no reward.
Well done 👏 Thanks for sharing Bat Cat!
I wish ET Transport hired Americans. I have eight years over the road reefer experience zero accident zero tickets and I have a passport and a TWIC card.

Do you hire independent contractors for sprinter van operators?
I need advice. I want to be an AZ truck driver however the schooling is quite expensive and something I can’t afford. Is there any other way for me to get my licence like an apprenticeship or something? I’m in southern Ontario and I hear there’s a driver shortage however it seems very difficult to get az licence. Any advice would be great.
Any job that pays by the day. They didn't device that pay scheme to pay you more money.
👍👍
Oh boy ! There's lots of scammers right now and lies , the more funny one is does called " trucking animations " 🤣🤣🤣 that you will make thousands on passive income out the blue and the more funny part is when you do a short research and found out that they're single truck company after they're bragging all the trucks that they have operating 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
💖💖💖I know a CZcamsr 💖💖💖 Goes by the name Trucking Exec He doesn’t do CZcams anymore because he went to federal prison and he was scamming millions of dollars ( Well that is what the internet is saying ) but the content is still up CZcams took down his first CZcams channel years ago and he was like you in ways but if you don’t know of his content check it out because you can get a few more pointers on your own CZcams channel and you would sound good telling people in your own words because people are watching you and you know what you are talking about I can hear it in you 💖💖💖
If you hired in Alberta I’d already be working for you guys…but you don’t it sucks

I love the new scam for these companies. You can gross up 10 to 15000 gross a week. . In today market your running 3500 to 4200 miles a week. Most of these companies see using broker freight not direct freight. .low to no fuel discount but you use there fuel card. . The tell you they only take 15 percent. The broker got another 20 percent before you get the load. Buy the time you see your check your getting 50 percent of your check is gone. . If you're going to lease on to a company first see if they have direct freight customers. The company I am leased to does everything from drive away to heavy hual. 200 plus agents I can use any load board. Great fuell insurance parts discounts. Same day pay. We also have a load board. I done loads from 2.25 to 4.46 a mile that's to the truck for the first two week of the year had the weekend off left the house on the 2 will finish my run on the 13 and made a 1000 dollars a day to the truck this is on a flatbed and less then 5500 miles for the two weeks . Last year I avg 525 dollars a day and only worked 8 months but got payed for every day of the year.
Gross pay is acceptable if company can squeeze some juice out of that sh!t market?
I got 30% and my week average rates are 2.50-3.20 for last month (October 2022). That means I got paid $0.85-1.10 per mile and netted $13575 @14500 miles
And I think market won’t go much lower than now, so there’s a hope that sometime I’ll get back to 1.00-1.20 per mile again. For last year my absolute record pay load was $3900 for 520 miles, which brought me $1170 in a single day 🎉
Ronan, will you hire me?
