Bought a $10k trailer and $20k truck, paid it off well before covid hit, sitting in a great position.

Every one of his titles has TRUTH! EXPOSED! 😂
Lol I follow Alex but man 😂 he acts like the world is burning.
@@runespaze it sells🤷♂️ he’s smart and knows exactly what he’s doing
Your best video yet. Thanks for putting some sanity out there.
2:50 for R per mile try 1: 41
Thank you brother for bringing normalcy to the table
I have been out here for 30 years. It's been up and down the whole time. I've learned more about the business of Trucking in the last few months as I've paid attention to my costs and not the rates
People love train wrecks. Ain’t that the truth lol 😂
Props to you for acknowledging economics. Almost all the other channels blame the rates on biden as if the day trump is inaugurated (assuming he wins), the rates immediately go to $4 - $6/mile. People would make better decisions if they would just understand basic concepts and not overly complicated conspiracies.
Im looking for a truck this weekend. Im looking for a used owner operator spec tractor.
doom & gloom! that's a shinny new outlook!🤣 hopefully the future will have more Opportunity, as the economy crawls out of the 1900's.... great to hear all this Trucking experience, from today. as well as the past!! the Truth! one of the hardest working industries. as well as an over gouged market.. yup! doom & gloom: is placing 3-5 tons of volatile batteries, with a range of 800-1000 miles..in a Semi. that will need to charge for 48Hrs!!! that's gloom & doom! good luck on the day! be Blessed! woohoo! were going to get it done!
Right! I priced a zero turn and it was $12,000😢 and people are stupid and paying it.
Securing steel coils suicide (not shotgun) with chains running through middle with friction mats (both sides)…dimensions 75 and under…chains must be secured-wrapped around and underneath the binders. It’s the little things you share…priceless. Thank you Be encouraged 🙏🏽💯✔️
Problem is giys know adays dont want to hear all the things your saying and that sucks for them. You speak the truth whole heartedly about things and what the realities are. The handful of guys that do listen to you though will survive and thrive and be so glad they clicked on your videos. Ive been in this game a long time 37 years to be exaxt and can honestly say ive loved every minute of this game and have no regrets at all 😅
Rev 2:9 & 3:9 are good ones too 😉
Not sure if it will fit. I think I have a door handle in the shop. Bought 2 when I had my T600 1995 model. If it will work, and I can find it. You can have it. Forgot It would be a pass handle. Not sure if they fit both sides or not. Also have a new door seat for the Pass side.
@@Pete-from-Tn thanks man but it’s all fixed😉

Hi, what load board you using to to find loads ?
Hi, if you can mention in your videos ,what load board you using, that would be great, thank you

Good video Matt. Take care.
Did that go to RBI or TMW. Red Bud is my home town.

Was surprised to hear the won’t use TQL
you are right !! let the idiot been a idiot !!
I jumped into flatbed when tanker got slow I was taking home 3500 a week home almost everyday and I thought that wasn't that good but now I'm on flatbed I'm almost never home and making less. Sheesh what did I get myself into
@@ddupont1987 just going back to the real rates🤷♂️ $2100 net for 4 days worth of work. I’ll take it every week🤙
@sturgelltruckingllc4074 im at mercer im also doing a good bit of dead head which doesn't help
🎉🎉🎉❤
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones. Stay safe
😮😮😮😮
I pay .15 cents a mile but I hear they upped that after I came in. Also after every quarter they put something on called hub miles true up that's usually anywhere from $500 to $800. I guess they can't track all my miles in real time I'm not sure why that happens. You would think they know everyday how many miles I drive.
It is absolutely stunning to hear a truck driver speak factually in regard to the economy.
Safe not sorry!!!!🇺🇸🐻
That is the most value information that I haven't heard for years. You are awesome, man. thanks a lot for those details
No change in Mexico prices are down actually
@@NLD88000 that’s funny , I just read this in the news before I checked my UA-cam comments, not sure where you came up with this, but I don’t think it could be further from the truth… finance.yahoo.com/news/mexico-inflation-overshoots-forecast-ahead-121133689.html
@sturgelltruckingllc4074 street level prices are controlled like tortilla eggs milk 🥛 remember the workers wage is still 5.00 to 200 pesos day also don't confuse the elite with workers big difference just built 6 apartments in Cd jauerz blocks still 10.00 pesos labor still 200 pesos nothing changed .
@@NLD88000 ok you’re right and the economist are wrong👍 Why the hell did I mention the economy and politics in the same sentence?🤔 I know better 😔
Thank you for supporting the free market
I disagree, the policies of the government has a great deal to do with the economy and inflation. Otherwise, inflation would have been “out of control” 4 years ago.
@@markray4327 that’s cool but it’s not my opinion. I didn’t just whip it up out of thin air and go with it, every economist would disagree with you my friend because this record inflation was brought on by Covid and only Covid ,and BTW four years ago is when the inflation started right after Covid, I know a lot of people try to view the entire world through the keyhole of politics, and I understand news outlets try to spin it that way, heck they try to spin everything that way but it’s truly not that simple, however just for fun I would love to hear how you think the governments policies have anything to do with consumer goods prices in a free capitalist market where prices are set by manufacturers and sellers not the government🤔
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 in 2008, I pulled into a TA for fuel, the price was 4.99 a gallon. A hundred gallons cost me right at $500. Who was president then? What were his policies? In 2017 I was paying around $2.80, who was president then? What were his policies? When this administration came in, prices shot up again. Why? What are his policies? The only change in years gone by is government. Respectfully sir, how can government policies, like regulations, taxes, not affect the economy and we consumers. Look at California and their government policies and how it affects their citizens. I do understand free enterprise, I don’t see the country through political lens, I try to avoid it, but, I believe it does affect us.
Late to comment on this video, but I'll throw in my .02...as far as maintenance is concerned...they grease trucks and change filters! I've been here just over 2 yrs now (250K+ Miles)....4 oil changes! Oil is changed during PM's...lol If you need something done to the truck, you have to deal with VRT to get something done and await approval (cheapest option costing valuable time) ...if the repair costs too much money, they simply want to put you in another truck...the "full maintenance" statement is a joke...they make so much money on our maintenance miles alone, it wouldn't kill them to take better care of these trucks...they give new meaning to the term "nickel and dime" when it comes to what they hit us drivers up for! Sadly, I've got one foot out the door as I just don't see things changing anytime soon...if some of these newer drivers would start looking closer at their #'s and calling BS when they see it, maybe things will change...best analogy I could give would be the Music industry back in the 60's thru the 90's....Music Companies (Trucking) made all the money...Musicians (truckers) living the life, but no money! (Lease Purchase) Dont' get caught up on what the Truck brings in...focus on what You deposit!
I have learned a lot from your videos. Great information. I am an owner operator pulling a flat bed and have learned a great deal from you. Here I am again seeking information from experienced people like yourself. I am trying to track down my sudden loss of fuel mileage. I replaced all 8 drives and overnight lost around .5-1 mpg average. I have owned this truck for almost 4 years and it has always been consistant 6.5-7 mpg. I track the mileage on every tank of fuel.I replaced all 8 drive tires and immediately went to 5.8-6 mpg. I mostly travel the same areas all the time so I have ruled out the terrain. I know you just replaced all of your drive tires. Have you noticed any difference at all in your fuel mileage after replacing your drives? As always thank you for your time
@@philphil5066 yes and it’s totally normal. The tires will harden up in about 15,000 miles and your fuel mileage should slowly return to where it was if you didn’t go with a much more aggressive, tread design than you had previously
Matt, please,please, please don’t stop doing these videos no matter how the wannabe’s get. I for one have learned so much great info from you. At 54 I started driving. I’m an O/O and flatbedder when I’m not doing ag work. Nobody is out there giving such no nonsense and straightforward how-to’s on this stuff. I would have been lost without you sharing your expertise. I still go back and watch your priors as refreshers when I’m about to load something that I don’t do every day. I for one appreciate you more than you know.
@@marklester161 thanks man no plan on stopping. I don’t feed the trolls, but you know what they say “no good deed goes unpunished” lolll I just take the comments down They don’t even get 1.5 minutes of of your guy’s time😉

Ihave a guy I trained he is now 27 months in and he is a super trucker and tells me fmcsa does not require that , I can’t wait till the shut hits the fan
Unfortunately we do not have a free market, we Crony Capitalism . And we have illegal b1 visa drivers taking loads less $1 per mile.
I know you don't go out here, but could you look at the west coast like portland, or sacremento. Tacks
The most sensible explanation of how economics work. In the steel market buyers are trying to determine the low point of the price per ton too
I ended up passing you on I-55 today, around Osceola. You're famous! Lol
