I would have done that when I was younger. I no longer work bedside or case management. I have a great job now and work part time as a correctional nurse. My reason for doing this is to potentially have something to fall back on should I want a break from nursing, but I appreciate your feedback.
Proud of you Slimepack!, keep doing what you do!, I leased with prime and grossed over 200k, it can easily be done. Thats with a $1700 a week overhead...and took 2 weeks off at a time...aaand made 10k at the end of my lease....people kmock it, but it's all in how you run that truck.

Im a company auto hauler and i average $1.90 a mile/ average $3000 a week. Home every weekend . These companies and their lease trucks are getting over
Auto hauling pays more than van or reefer driving and if you’re doing flat bedding, especially heavy hauling or hazmat you’ll get paid more than auto hauling. The pay is all relative to what you’re hauling.
If you like to travel this is a great job. And if you have no kids! I came home from Schneider in January. I have a family so I came home. The time I was missing from my kid wasn't worth the money. Rates not what they used to be.
You must got a good dispatcher on your side I've known 3 people that worked for prime and wasn't making that in 2 weeks! Keep it up make that money hun
You’re so real appreciate the content and transparency I’m still on the fence to pull the trigger but you are giving great insight to the lifestyle thank you 🙏🏾

Nice, sister It's always nice to see all of you Drivers doing what you like Peace and Blessings ...........................................................
I drove for prime awhile back they are a good company to start with in my opinion but as long as you have a clear goal you can make money with them. You should calibrate the load scale on the truck when you get loaded heavy, so you don't have to scale out
I love seeing my fellow black American millennial/gen-Z getting money driving trucks !! Via CDL , this is beautiful especially seeing more black millennial/gen-Z women getting there CDL, keep up the good work! You are a true inspiration
Educating her on understanding how money works isn’t negative …. It’s caring !!! Here’s the expense’s to “ pay to play “ as it were …. 1) fuel 2) trailer 3)tractor 4) insurance 5) tires 6) accountant 7) SEP 8) the company’s cut So, as a owner operator you are expected to know these thing going into it while everyone knows most folks don’t…..

Having said all that congratulations on being able to have the opportunity to make a difference.
Great job! Former flatbed/heavy hual here. You can still make money in this business today! Forget the negative, stay positive. Keep on trucking & be safe 😎
Love to here about them numbers.. Hopefully soon I’ll Be joining Prime lease But I’ll Be pulling tankers and some Folks said it easy sometimes But you Be safe out there
Prime told me, going 4 weeks out and after expenses you get only 2000.00 a week. That’s what a recruiter told me and I told her “thank you for your time goodbye.”
Gotta question ,its cool your trying to keep it new looking by leaving the plastic on butt really what your doing is keeping it new for the next person thatll lease the Truck when you give itvup
Dam ppl hella haters in these comments lame af she doing her thing on a dangerous job keep doing you stay safe and prayers 👏🏻🙌🏻also is this out of state ?
TMC is a good trucking company, they pay by the percentage of the load. The guy from Was in my CDL classes trying to recruit me. He originally from Buffalo New York. I remember him clearly telling me that.
Man this was not what I was getting, I had to move on and now I’m happy where I’m at and learning to drive manual and about to get my restriction off for no manual. Cause I did a test in a automatic
I been and owner operator for 25 years I want to know how you net 4k when you grossed 5k? She ran over 2000 miles that's about a thousand dollars in fuel alone..what about that truck payment you have to pay every week and so on ..Ain't no way.
During the pay period she didn’t have a payment due. She caught up. She also took over a run from a team, then did multiple loads to get that munayyyy 🤑🤑🤑
First and foremost before y'all go off on this young lady. let me clarify something for her in most cases of a lease purchase you don't have a truck note for a few weeks. Also drivers please stop speaking for every driver out here in America by saying we not making money. yes the economy is bad yes freight prices are down but that all depend on what type of freight. and who you getting your loads from and what type of relationship you have with the shipper me and my friends we don't haul nothing for less than $3.50 a mile to $5 a mile f*** the longboard too many games. Coming out of South Texas by the border small low key Mom and Pop $3.50 / $5.00 I also have a connect out of Ohio Midwest area it's all about who you know in this game average gross $8700 / $12000 a week now deductions can be very based on a driver and different type of discounts and driving habits an average weight of load in some cases I have gross lower than my friends and netted more $.last week I net $ 5200
Good luck and keep the shiny side up. You got this. Good pay for first week. I assume that was before truck payment, IFTA, Bobtail insurance, don’t forget the taxes (remember your Independent Contractor tax cost is all you) not like W-2 taxes, fuel, maintenance escrow, and the other cost. Just remember to keep money aside for the taxes every quarter and you’ll be fine. Congratulations on the first week down.

My local workforce officer is paying for my CDL! I just need to pay off my 3 tickets in order to start the class. I want to get all the tickets dismissed so I can keep my clean MVR but that’s going to take a while to complete.
@@Slimepack392 nope, I don’t need one. My tickets are over a year old. I’ll just need to call every court as ask to take defensive driving or get a deferred plea deal. There’s just one that I won’t be able to get dismissed as I was violating a “CDL” restriction even though I don’t have a CDL.
You gotta automatically deduct a % off that end net amount, ie., savings to reimburse yourself for that loan to yourself to launch. Mile by mile, day by day, remain positive, be safe, get used to taking off the end net for business related savings. In the airport shuttle business we operate fleets but only after knowing what our revenues project at. We can do the math in our head but big rigs cost more in maintenance, towing. I would guesstimate you need 3.75 per mile but ultimately you work for yourself, paid on distribution via LLC or Inc. I could never go back to driver OTR once I factored quality of life vs. logging miles. Its okay to run 18 hrs a day as a shuttle driver, not for individual semi drivers. At worse, we get a CHP inspection. At best, take vacations for 3 months out of the year.
I hope you are successful i really am but when you get two years experience otr I'd look for dedicated regional. I worked at Prime for 8 years and now work dedicated home three nights a week and making 103k as a company driver. I always recommend Prime as a starter company but otr is a joke.

8) the company’s cut

That's 48cpm after taxes. Company driver pay is 53cpm after taxes with a worth of 10cpm for bennies, so 63cpm.
Can u show the math on how u came up with 48 cents. Cause the miles is 2824 and her supposed net was 4019 that’s 1.42 a mile
Are you saying Prime company drivers are making more than $5k a week?
@@JButttertv Same, I rounded to about 2700 miles. This dude just doesn't know what he's talking about.
I came up with 0.49 cpm.
@JButttertv prime pays their lease drivers on a different scale depending on the load they're paid by the mile or they get a percentage of the load
I wish you none but success just keep on learning

Monthly Quarterly Yearly matters far more for success and failure unfortunately then weekly. Hope them numbers stay solid.
