Thank you a honest man I been an owner operator for 23 years and it ain’t been good since 2012 I don’t lie to these younger drivers that inspire to own one. Its a big responsibility the majority of what you make is going back in the business and when I do my taxes I bring home a little more than a company driver fuel insurance and maintenance is taking it all

where is the full video?? It cuts out at the end

A few Questions/points… coming from some one who’s about to get my CDL. 1. If it “no money in trucking” then why is he still driving his truck not only that but he seems to be investing more money into his truck. (Doesn’t make much sense if he’s not making any money.) 2. When people say it’s no money in it, what is considered “no money” $50k a year? 100k?…. I feel like someone who’s been in the game for 30+ years that was probably making upwards of 300-500k per year at some point (maybe more), would look at 100k or 200k as “no money”. But someone who’s never seen that type of money would probably think it is a lot. Again I’m not in the business yet and I’m actually only getting into it in order to build on to my current business that’s already making 400K a year. Trying to diversify my business portfolio and capabilities. It seems very hypothetical to make a broad statement like it’s “no money” in trucking but yet people like the gentleman in the video are still in the business and still investing into it and it’s so many ways that you can make GREAT money in trucking which is why I’m getting into it myself. I’m just trying to get a better understanding of the true purpose of videos like these.

My man. He never said the words there’s no money in trucking. We were talking about the money that rookies are thinking that are going to make vs what they really are making out here. And money is what you make it. If you can live off 50k a year. Then that’s amazing but most people think when they come out here they are going to be rich fast and it’s not like that at all.

keen eye my friend 😉 we got alot of gatekeepers out here.. think about it like this, why would they want to make it sound good, and invite more competition out here.. you don't hear drug dealers talkin about how great it is out there because then when someone else starts selling on their block, now they are taking their money.. its mostly scare tactics.. and also like what you said, maybe they made more in the past or whatever.. i came from NOTHING. poor poor, the gutter.. so when im netting 130k im big rich to me.. cause i aint never had nothing before.. some of these folks out here really be talkin big mess about how theirs no money.. but alot of them are lease purchase drivers, and it gets confusing because the companies let these lease people call themselves "owners operators" because it sounds nice and draws them into their scam, at the end of the day the company owns those trucks & those people are paying over $600 a week to borrow that companies truck & THEY.. they really aint making no money because they give it all back to the company for the truck. the more payments you have, the less money you have.. if u want the truth.. pay everything off, have no expenses beyond fuel/maintenance/insurance/taxes & you will gross about 6-8k a week BUT you only net around 2500 of that after insurance/fuel/tax. 2500 a week is still 10k a month. comin from poverty 10k a month is alot of money to me. but im only using this to invest in other businesses. its alot of dirty people out here trying to get in your pockets.. i just dont look at other folks trying to do the same thing as enemies, alot of drivers do, because now you diggin in their pockets too (in their head) get 4-5 trucks and make 50-60k a month and tell me there aint no money 😂😂😂 cmmmon yall trippin. i make in 1 month what most of my friends & family back home make in a year. (but they also on welfare n shit lol) just dont spend it like crazy.. and make sure to PAY YOUR TAXES! set that aside off the rip.

As far as def goes as long as you take care of it watch where you buy fuel so you dont get bad def/fuel youll be fine at about 200k the filter will need to be taken off sent to dealer and burned the whole process takes about a week so if you aint got money put back you will be in trouble

So I'm about to go to CDL school I'm just waiting for my background check to come back. Once I completed the school I was thinking about buying my own truck with the thoughts of making more money versus driving a company truck. But honestly I don't want to get in this game and regret it down the line. I don't have experience with trucks but this is something I dreamed of doing. But I would want to be trained from the best.

@@MaderaExpressllc so let me put it this way, let’s say i just became a owner operator and opened my LLC with no debt whatsoever and paid my truck and trailer cash…and let’s say you opened your LLC with debt and now have to run no less then 3$ a mile to sustain your company, and me on the other hand can run a load paying 2$ a mile…..the question is whose in the wrong here…the person who got into the game with significant amount of debt or the one who can run the load for a bit les and still maintain the lights running? My point is it’s all relative. Truckers don’t make prices and never will it’s all based on the current state of the economy. (COVID proved it) the only way a owner operator can still make decent money and not stress over it is not coming into this game with debt period.

Worse with the modern trucks, they aren't like old school where after you own them you get years of use. About the time you pay them off these days they are done, a straight up non stop money drain if you hold em. So there is no advantage, because the costs are endless or you just get lucky on some dice rolls.

A reefer motor is only a 3 cylinder diesel that’s why it doesn’t burn. A lot of fuel His trailer is a spread axle. Trailer normally called a Texas spread. His truck is considered a large car. An 18 speed transmission actually started off as twin sticks, 4 speed, main box and a 4 speed, auxiliary box which was called a brownie transmission then they came out with the 10 Speed Rd., Ranger then a 13 Speed Rd. ranger then a air 4 x 4 to 18 speed so my young brother if you’re gonna talk about trucks you need to be able to go no the history of trucks. first truck I ever drove was a 1968 GMC crackerbox it had a 318 Detroit no power steering no air condition then I went to driving a 1978 Kenworth W900 with a 400 Cummings would they six and a four merit box then a 1980 Peterbilt 379 or the 3408 DI cat with a full house that’s a 13 speed double over with the four speed progressive brownie 2speed rear end which run 200 miles an hour with 80,000 pounds so stay in your lane and keep other peoples name out of your mouth if you don’t know 😎personally

CS, The bad things in our industry seem to go in cycles, from what I've seen over the last 38 years from when I got out of truck driving school in 1985 It's the bad stuff and never the good things that stick around too long. like people buying trucks without a CDL and then hiring an X-shoe salesperson to drive them...WTF. this was a thing in the mid-90s and they stopped after the 2000s started and now we go again. The brokers are another problem that needs to be fixed it continues to keep getting worse over time. keep doing what you are doing the industry needs this kind of advocacy and representation.
