    I think it's great that people are out here trying different things and getting out of the regular rat race to try to make it. They only thing that I would try to pass on to you is that you need to figure out your Per Mile Rate. You do this by figuring out how much it costs you to move that truck 1 mile. So you have to include Fuel, Truck Note, Insurance, Freight Insurance, Maintenance Account, Driver Pay, Taxes, IFTA (if required), Tolls, Factoring, Load Boards, etc. Then you break it down to the mile, usually with no note an O/O of a semi is about $0.98 - $2.00 per mile, so that is the BARE minimum of what you need to earn.
    That way, it's much easier to figure out whether a job/week's pay is worth it. Example: if it costs You $1.57 per mile to move that truck and you accepted a Dallas to Miami load paying $2,100.00 you're only making $0.02 profit per mile.
    Anyways, keep your head up and your mind right because yesterday was the easiest day you had, today will be hard and tomorrow isn't promised.

      Bro, I wish you the best, but be warned...
      I still have my CDL, but I got out of the business after a year hauling beer. It's a great source of income if you have no wife or kids and are looking to save money.
      Just don't waste your life doing it. It's long and irritating work, not to mention unhealthy. Being a fitness freak it almost killed me. Being on the road 12 hours a day had me thinking horrible thoughts; it will get to you after a while.
      Also, another thing to consider. If you use your CDL and get paid (cpm), you will be denied any regular mortgage unless you have two years experience; Fannie Mae rules.
      It was a painful lesson to me.

    Hey watched your latest vid on tarping. I've been driving since I was 18 and now I'm 52. The secret to tarping is fold the front like a envelope so the sides go to the middle then the top comes down over the sides that way the wind blows over and around. Then you do the same at the back but you fold the top down and the sides go to the middle over the top that way the wind blows around it. Then to make it tight use your bungys to pull the tarp to the back before you finish doing the back. Once you've done that put rope in between the crates or pallets and pull the rope tight. if it's done right you don't need strops at all and the load won't move. Also who ever told you to twist the strops was stupid always make sure they not twisted because they will always come loose. Finally once you've done tarping strop your load but you won't have to have them as tight. I carted pallets of cheese on the back of my second truck which was a flatbed and never used strops just a tarp and rope and the load never moved.

      And if something is flimsy or looks like it’s about to break. Mention it to the owner, I worked moving and customers would try to blame me for those cheap particle furniture you buy at Target breaking into pieces. People don’t understand that some furniture isn’t meant to be taken down and rebuilt again. Basically just make a little video of your load all strapped and ready to go and when you get there to show there is 0 damage. People are crazy, they’ll do anything to avoid paying total. Some people will let you do all of the work and than bring something up hoping you won’t go to court for the money. You’ll be surprised how many rich people do this just to save 800 bucks or something.

    I’d suggest make relationships with local furniture stores, thrift stores, junk yards; pretty much any place that sells large goods to consumers and ask for owner/manager - leave a business card, follow up etc.
    I’ve been running the road for over 5 years - it all comes down to $ per mile.. make sure you break down all your numbers on a DAILY basis.

      @@Jagado if you’re working in a commercial capacity in transportation there are a lot of insurance requirements. You can’t just go rent a van and start a delivery service with regular auto insurance.
      The coverages are higher, you need cargo insurance, unladen liability insurance and more. And that can cost you thousands a year.

    The average for any box truck “otr” is 5k weekly without weekend hrs. Typically today drivers receive 20-40% of the loads assigned to the truck. Owners/MC holders typically sort out the other functions and finanaces accrued each 7day period. Usually the owner has relationships with the brokers/dispatchers/logistics companies to ensure a steady load pool to pull work from. If the driver has to handle the maintenance, logistics as well as the sec-sec safety requirements and DOT compliance for “otr” specifics that usually leads to accidents. I usually see this being a successful dynamic within the 26ft dry van non Cdl sector or the transportation industry. However the 1man show usually rocks out for about a year until credit is no longer an option to bail out the vehicle from fleet maintenance.. (because there’s no fleet if this makes sense.. ) hard to get that load there when your trying to figure out how to re-gen your diesel exhaust! Be open minded.. be fluid..

    The wisest thing that should be on every wise individuals list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy

      I lost about $4,000 to a scammer before I was recommended to Expert Mrs Quinten financial institution and believe me she helped me recover the $4,000 and made an extra of $7,000 in the space of a week and four days.

    Hey man, great content. I probably helped build that truck you’re driving. I worked at the Hino truck plant here in Parkersburg, West Virginia. My job consisted of putting in pieces of the cabs trim including seat bolts and parking break handle on each truck

    Good to see you makin your own way and building your own business. One tip: always use gloves when you refuel. Those fuel pump handles are super filthy!!
