I appreciate the videos man. I'm starting training on Monday and I'm excited about it but not excited about the pay. It will be hard sending money home but its only for a year and then I'll gladly be moving on. I decided to go trucking to find where I want to move my family in 2 years and what better way then trucking.

Exactly! Why pay Landstar 35%... That's a lot of money to throw away to Landstar. Good job, dude...

You’ve become my favorite driver to watch with this video, thank you so much.

Dude, you are the reason for why I am sitting now. With the ones like you , we will never get ahead and we will always be treated like morons by the brokers .

Is that taxed already?

So those two dollars a mile loads are before Landstar takes out their 35% cut , so you really are just making around 1.50 a mile. Am OO with Schneider and seriously thinking going to Landstar now that my truck is paid off

booking cheap freight , not good buddy. i rather driver emty than haul a cheap load 1300 miles. you sound like a smart guy , use your brain my guy

Smart man. I had this same idea and will be doing it when I get my cdl.

FLHS. I believe that means flatbed hotshot load so basically a pick up truck pull Elena gooseneck trailer. Maybe somebody else knows but that’s what I think it means.

Here is a good resource for the spot market: youtube.com/@truckingmadesuccessful?si=_TDGPyd8Y_w5mXBL

I sent you an email to your email address you have in the description

Racine is pronounced: ray-seen

I would seriously not look at spot market........its been in the dumps for ages now. May not be the best rate but the larger carriers at least pay every week, no factoring, have stable loads. Personally looking at food grade tank for an owner operator position. The slow down in the end of the year is minimalized because everyone needs to eat. Lots of oils, sugar, juices to be hauled.

Nice to meet you @ Tehachapi CA

I just referred my friend GDAWG from landstar to watch these videos he took has a UA-cam channel

i said it again, youre not running that loadboard right, they are way better paying loads than that around here..js..

I would caution you with getting your authority it kinda sucks and is pretty hard to keep busy while maintaining profit and for the first year hardly any brokers will use you call around to check on this I know some people do better than others

My truck is paid off, do you think it's still not worth coming on to Landstar?

Said it before but I really appreciate the info. If you can make your business profitable in the lean times you'll be prepared to excel during the good times.

Transparent information and no fluff like soooooo many truckers do. Much appreciated. Hang in there. Hopefully our economy improves soon

That truck route animation is awesome

Would you be able to send me a template of your spreadsheet? I’m starting a new lease soon and you’ve inspired me to buckle down on tracking my business

You're going to be fine. You are already in the 1%. You know where the money is coming from and where it is going. 99% don't know how much they made or where they're spending it. Clearly you aren't scared to work hard (operate the equipment) or do the hard work (think). Luck... you've done the preparation, the opportunities will come. Best wishes.

Wow not to bad

If you do get your own authority you should keep making the videos and sharing the numbers. So many people think they can make a hundred thousand dollars investment into a truck and get rich only to find out they can’t go home if they want to stay in business. Your videos are a great reality check. Keep making them shipper relationships. I can’t imagine getting my own numbers without arrangements with shippers.

I’ve been watching you since landstar I had my app in and got approved all the way up till this morning I had to turn it down I’m with Bruce Oakley Trucking owner op and it’s just so slow I decided to stay where I’m at at least I still get paid loaded and empty miles and I average 2000-2300 miles a week and still make what your making if not more vs the miles your running I pull an end dump maybe you should give Oakley a shot seems better

Hopefully everyone realizes there is no truck payment. As such, he is making less than a company driver.

Good show

I saw you made a comment that doing $7500 a week is not a real possibility, not exact wording. I’d argue that point. For me I’m averaging just under $5800 a week before Landstar % and only working on average 20 days a month. So if I were to do what you do, which I 1 day off a week, $7500 would not only be possible, but on the low end. I say this to say jumping to your own authority is not going to be easy. Especially in this market. You’ll have higher insurance, higher fuel costs and lower revenue. I’ve got friends that have had their own numbers for several years and are struggling. Keep in mind you’ll only be able to haul for the very bottom of the barrel brokers for the first 6 to 12 months once you get started.

Ive gotta ask, what's that map and truck animation You are doing? Is it an app? Great video, subbed👍 tons of valuable info😎

Thank you for your videos, help me to take a better look, what be the next step. Good luck and be safety out there. 👍

1.80 per mile, from PA to WA after deduction 35% will be $1.17 per mile for you. I didn't deduct the diesel or tools. 😮

The dat spot market is terrible lol. 😭

Landstar takes 35% always glad to see all the data including the negatives against you. I don't blame you for wanting to leave and become independent. This is a bad year in this industry.

You will never make it hauling broker loads the only to have a better shot is get your own accounts which isn't easy believe me over 35 yrs OTR my brother in law owned his truck/trailer and had his own accounts had still had to bust his *ss

Why are you running such cheap loads 😂🤣🤦🏾‍♂️. Run $3 minimum

Your getting 5266 per week, 6.4 dh, i don't think you can do better in the spot market right now. You need to have fuel surcharge and a great fuel discount card mandatory. Spot market are the leftovers, and the rates are extremely poor right now. Worse than the 2.52 your getting now. Just saying, good luck.

You may want to consider leasing on with a company that gives you a better cut and lets you do spot market so you can learn before you are on your own. Like Trucking is a good example.

Besides hauling dry van freight, have you trying hauling flat bed? I seen load couple of loadboard that show better RPM (rate per mile) than dryvan.Also have you looked into hauling DOD/govt loads? And or Entertainment tour loads? I know LS has those types of loads..Before leaving LS perhaps you may want to look into it before leaving & opening your own MC. Just a thought.. 💭

There is a huge lesson in this channel that a lot of people are gonna hate, trucking is very profitable for certain people, people with no responsibility who can dedicate there life to their business those will be compensated at the end just like any other business owner in any other industry, people underestimate what owning a truck is a huge deal, what makes you think you can own a business and have the weekend off, or even mentioning home time as a business owner is ridiculous, that’s why most fail, props to you man for sticking to it and just going all in, proving that even on a horrible market you can keep progressing

I live in Oklahoma yes they are d s

2026/2027. Still a ways until we see better days

i hear going pure spot market is tough bro. Depressed rates reduced by factoring fees. Teh only easy way to make real money in trucking is to have a fleet of trucks

Keep em coming bro love the videos

Were you ever on the show FLOOR. Thought I saw a advertisement that looked like you. Thanks😊

How much time did you take off in these 25 weeks?

Owner Operators are making less than company drivers right now and taking on more risk. Doesn't make a lot of sense!

More load board search

Nice video, doesn’t seem worth it for most people to be an owner op in this market. Very interested to see how the numbers look once you have your own authority next year.

Moving up the trucking ladder 👍
