A dollar a mile is so ridiculous...and I get it, people are trying to own a truck. Save up, get your credit right and go buy a truck. These companies are raping you and you bend over for it . One of yalls trips, you actually lost money. Top of page 3. It looks like you paid USXpress to run that load .
Check out the load boards I use to run fed x loads for us Xpress as a lease op fed x loads are paying 25k one way east to west runs on team loads. You are running miles for peanuts.
Christ alive. I'm a company driver and I would have made nearly $2500 for half those miles. I get .58cpm and $30 every hook up or stop. The two of you worked your tails off for peanuts. At the rate you're running, that truck will need a top end overhaul in two years. It'll have over 1.5 million miles in 4 years. And $1 a mile? If you weren't paying for the truck and fuel a company couldn't even turn the wheels for that rate. Most operate in the $1.50-1.75 cost per mile range using company owned equipment and company drivers. I didn't watch till the end, how much is your health insurance? 🤣
I feel so sorry for those drivers they believe $1 per miles is good . When they have to pay fuel , repair etc etc etc from their own pockets. That’s why guys Leasing from companies like US Xpress it’s a big No No No ( it’s a big scam ) . Go to companies they will pay you from .55 cpm up to .60 cpm and save your money for around two years and buy your own semi. In good times they are loads they will pay you $4 per miles.
So I'm retired Army and make an additional 2,699 a month. I have 12 years experience and thinking strongly about doing the US Express walk away lease program. I keep thinking to myself that I would have a great advantage if I did so. What do you think?
Hey man! Really like the information you have put here. I am thinking of coming over to us xpress with my wife, I figured you're getting about 10.2 MPG judging by the information in this video and was wondering what speed you're generally running at? Whats the weight of the loads on average that you're hauling? And also does us xpress generally do mostly drop and hook freight? And if its not are the appointment times planned nice and tight for a team more often then not? We've been hauling reefer freight for prime inc for a year and a half now but its become a massive struggle since December to get any decent load for us and we've been stuck piddling around with 3303 miles a week on an average. Reefer has become a joke over here thanks to this market and all the headaches that come with it just aren't worth it. We're almost 100,000 miles short where we should be for a team this year.
They are milking you so bad. Just be a local company driver take 1500 a week tell your wife to be a company driver also and both together will be netting 3000k without the headaches of a busisness, and you guys also can be having a life.
ck is paid in full and how long you got to drive with us express to be lease and any money down i been driving for 14 years and never leased to anyone but i think as a team we could make a good living ?
7420 miles I think xpress is low balling the $. I’d like to see more like 11k for that many miles. I drove six years for Land Star so I know exactly what the rates go for lotta 2-3 dollar mile loads. Out of that 7400 miles how many individual trips did you end up doing?
Something is not good here...there is almost 3000 dolars losted...but i can't figure out from where they toke the money fron this couples...somebody can help me? Maybe i'm wrong.
Wait... what??? I don’t know much about trucking ( I want ot get into it) but... you have to pay the tolls???? I mean.... is their company and their cargo, they’re not supposed to cover that????
Hector Cruz he’s a lease operator. He’s basically running his own trucking business partnered with US Xpress. He leases a truck from them and they get him loads.
Hey man. Love watching your videos on the L/p program. Definitely helped me narrow down my list of possible companies. Got a question though. I was talking to one of the recruiters about the pay and she said they only pay loaded miles, no empty miles. How has that affected you as a team truck and how did that affect you when you were solo? I've done a lot of research and like what I've seen about us xpress. That's the only thing that makes me nervous though. Would like to get your opinion.
you get paid 1 dollar per mile on empty miles under the LP program according to what our recruiters told us 3 weeks ago. but you don't get paid fuel surcharge on empty miles which from what I can gather is around 24-26 cents per mile. maybe she was talking about fuel surcharge or if things have changed that would be a big deal breaker for me. you can see he got paid some empty miles at a dollar per mile in this video.
There’s a lot of hard work, sweat, and tears behind these numbers but nothing in your bank account to show for it. Draw the line and figure out what’s best for your future. We’re getting paid 75 cpm team expedite with a new truck and having to do a oil change every month. You can find really good team jobs if you look close. The smaller the shop the better.
He's really making $0.75 per mile but he's buying a truck which is an asset and he's going to get minimum $35,000 in per dime tax write-off that's his Advantage compared to company Drive
Kosova Alb trucking To each their own. I file 1099 by the way. I’m saving to buy a truck cash in hand. No bank is ever gonna have me tied up on a leash again.
So you are saying you make around the same money, but I will own a truck in 2 years, what will you have to show? You're also forgetting that $1080 came out for missed payments while on vacation! So $1500 plus 540 is $2040, now let's add the advances that do not normally come out as well, that's 326 divided by 2 equals 163 plus 2040 brings me to $2,302.. Now let's add current truck payments as that's my money as well and will stop coming out in in about a year and a half from now, so 956 plus 2302 comes to $3,159..I didn't add insurances because those will always have to be paid, however that's my money to.. I actually made $9k I just had to pay my bills out of that 9k.. When an owner op gets paid do you think they get to keep the gross? That would be a no, they don't. They also have to make truck payments and insurances and fuel and maintenance..!
@@RobertCookdarkarts Your doing great boss! I've been watching quietly in the background now for months. Two people working together can move mountains. The best advice I can give you is put 40% of it in an account every week for a year if you can swing it! Then invest that money in something that generates a positive cash flow. Just as long as its guaranteed to have a baby every month. Real estate ect. Keep doing what your doing! You two are doing better then 80% of us out here in the world. With that avg your gonna have $177K Your work money is to be saved and transferred/invested to produce more income. GL
@@Seattle206723 great advice, you can also buy a used truck cash, and put a driver or a team in it too. The extra money you can pay yourself an extra $500 to kinda of clear that truck payment add that into a separate account for maintenance along with what you already have in maintenance, just a thought
I know owner Ops don't get to keep the money I've been doing this 20 years no matter what you make Freight doesn't pay enough one major breakdown and you're done they barely pay enough for you to get by. And yes I did forget about the two truck payments but the good thing that you do have is your wife as your teammate so putting the money together helps a lot.

ck is paid in full and how long you got to drive with us express to be lease and any money down i been driving for 14 years and never leased to anyone but i think as a team we could make a good living ?
Are you and your team mate paying a lease payment? And. Are you sharing. Pay with them? Or ate they training and it is all yours
That is horrible pay for a team should be about 3 times that
u aint kidding, pathetic

alex john oh... and how that works?
Is it a 1.00 per mile or more ?
I think what you made in that week was pretty good for a solo driver but you still have to pay for your teammate still pretty low.

He is talking about teams as a solo drive doesn’t work.
It's not bad at all plus you buying a truck and you going to get teaming minimum $35,000 per dime in tax write-off.
Those trucks won't be worth anything once they're paid off.
