    Hey Tyler! Could you explain step by step how to buy the index funds? I don't even know where to start with that? Are you talking about using the 401k with one's employer? Or where do I buy the Vanguard index funds? How do I get started? Do I buy them through a broker like Carles Schwab, or is there an app you recommend? How did you do it? Thanks!

    Mindset .if your wastng your life. Stop, dont waste your life.. people that are really truckers, have a different mindset- but thats become harder. Becsuse those in charge, dont understand. Things worked,in the past. This was our life. - it never really was,for them. So they f d. Everything up. They didnt know any better. Comradery is gone. Now, its...more,just a job.

    Hey what’s up living freed. I been watching your content for a nice while now and I got my CDL a few months ago through swift (yeah it went bad lol) but now I’m doing Amazon freight partners out of IL hourly to build experience and make a decent wage. I’m doing okay out here and I like it and I have big goals from it very similar to yours. I’m 27 from Chicago and I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to do this. Thanks hopefully I can contact you one day

    I feel like you have the best view for trucking if you wanna make money and eventually get out of the industry. Im looking to follow your similar path. I really wanna do it with real estate. I don’t really understand stocks that much but i need to do more research. Do you plan on keeping the truck on the road with a driver once you reach your financial goals? Or do you plan on selling off? You are a very smart man and have a good out look with everything! Im a company driver right now and i plan on being an O/O once i move to TX. Love watching your videos for advice on how to make more money over time. Hope to see you on the road one day!

    Also, the reserve money for repairs should be invested in a money market fund, earning around a 4% rate of return, as it offers "check writing ability", aka, immediate liquidity

    I agree with having the cash, on hand, to be able to purchase a truck, but I disagree with paying cash for the truck instead of getting a loan. Those funds should be invested, to further grow wealth, while also building credit, and a relationship, for the purchase of an additional two trucks (before hiring a driver, it's better to have an additional truck for when one of the other two is in the shop)

    I agree with you 100% on another aspect I work at a trucking garage that fixes trucks and parts are getting harder and harder to get tires are through the roof engine parts are crazy priced and I’ve seen firsthand where it’s put a lot of operators out of business in fact, we’ve had three or four trucks left on the property. They had to be towed so they just abandoned, it’s a shame
