    Avi, not necessarily. It depends on how closely you pay attention to detail. I feel like if you struggle with that you should probably start driving, otherwise flatbed would be fine. Joe, Thank you but that is a very very deep question, I have a lot of videos on the channel talking about this specific topic but ultimately there’s not one right answer. Everything is situational about you and what it is you’re trying to do and what it is you’re trying to haul

    I have to confess that after doing trucking for exactly 1 year this july.....I am screwed for life! Working for the corporate world most of my life, I started doing trucking for a year and I let that diesel fuel get in my veins. I have spent a great deal of my time on the road, savoring the lifestyle, running the miles, being away from home from months at a time, and I must say that I can't get enough of it. I don't know if I am enamored of this job, but spending hours and hours alone in solitude has allowed me to put my thoughts in perspective. I love this job and I am running and living my life one mile at a time. Thanks for your videos they have given me a lot of insight about this career and the life on the road. God bless

Dont play the loyalty game. The company doesn't look out what's best for you and family . That's your job. Just keep looking for that better job,better home time, better pay for you and your family Good luck

    Better off diversifying. having cash is a good idea. However, I think it's better to have cash flow from multiple sources. Cash loses value as it sits. We lost at least 7% to 10% in dollar value this year alone while some of my assets (house, property, camper lol) increase 30%+. That tells me cash sucks for value. I can trade asset for cash and come out ahead or I can store cash at a loss. Another way to look at it I guess.

    PokerMan I do agree but if you have a major break down and your money is tied up how do you pay for a repair? Like I said if we have a huge drop in rates and your breaking even it’s nice to have money not tied up so you can sit at home and not run just to have revenue. To each is their own tho and that’s just how I do it👍🇺🇸

    @@scottbulach You still need a repair fund of 10k. But that's basic operating cost. just like fuel, oil, tires, etc.. What I'm talking about is stacking cash. If you don't have a 10k repair fund, you're not in business, your trying to stay out of bankruptcy. If in such position, I would stack every nickel I had till I got that 10k fund. beans and rice for a bit if necessary. When I sit at home and don't run, I broker freight via my brokerage or I work on my "farm to table" hydroponic farm or I work on my property investments. I don't have to pray the freight prices come back. I can cut that leg off if needed. That's what I'm talking about. I can operate under both dem or repub politics. Diversify and bring others up while you do so. (cause you can't do all the work yourself.) You will be far better off and the more you grow the easier it becomes.

    @@amazinggrace4484 Save up money. Like 20k-60k money, on top of the fact that I would say you should have another 20k saved up just for when life goes wrong. There are plenty of amazing areas where housing will appreciate very quickly all over the country. Do some research on these rising real estate markets. I would recommend finding a good home in Nashville, you can find one in the 200s, so 40k down payment (20%) if you want to avoid pmi (mortgage insurance). Put another 10k into upgrading the kitchen or making repairs, rent it out, and hire a property manager. Your mortgage could range from $900-1200 depending on HOA, and you could charge $1400-1800 to rent, and that's just for now. Pour money into getting it paid off and get onto your next one. You could realistically pay it off in a decade or quicker if you have a six figure income. Not to mention that in nashville or places like phoenix, those 200k homes will likely be valued at 400k in a decade, meaning with 3 of those 200k homes in some good growing cities, you might be a millionaire by the mid 2030s. You could continue to rent them and gross maybe $6000 combined, subtracting about $1200-1800. At that point you could sell off the homes over a period of 6 years (tax exempt if married and living in residence 2 out 5 years prior to selling) and move to cheaper parts of the country, or move to cheaper countries, or whatever you want really. Check out Graham Stephan's channel. He can be clickbaity but he provides mostly sound financial advice, probably the best and most you can get for free.

    I'll have my full year in trucking in September and I was kinda thrown into a sink or swim moment and let me tell u I swim, been winter and whatnot I quickly learn to put chain on tires and what 911 disel treatment is. I sure as hell wouldn't have survived without my mentor he was my driving trainer with the company I started. My advice since winter driving is coming and starting tomorrow Colorado has its chain laws in affect, is to download all the 511 app for the Midwest and west states they show u the road conditions. So know before u drive

    @Austin Butler "less than load", YRC, XPO Logistics are companies that are LTL . The haul a lot of small shipments to fill up a trailer. It pays better than truck load shipments. Sure a truck load is one pick up and one delivery. But a trailer with a lot of small shipments pays much better than just one shipment on one trailer.
