That's what I hear from all the truckers: specialized loads are still doing well. If you're in tankers or flatbeds or oversized loads, you're more than likely doing okay. That's why I want to sign up for Maverick as my first company: that way I can get right into flatbeds.
Just starting out in the video but I haul tanker hazmat for an environmental company, we are doing well too but it's mainly because we are in sustainable energy mainly and just happen to own trucks. We haul only private freight for industrial businesses. So obviously not spot market but if you can get the experience and the endorsements the money is out there.
It's a niche segment... The more specialized you can be the more valuable you are..... You're not going to get no door swingers suddenly decide to do hazmat tanker truckin one day.
I'm a company driver and my company and I are Killin it too. We slaughter and haul our own beef with only 3 percent broker loads. The whiners are always the loudest.
Hey Alex, thanks for the content. Hey trucking is a numbers game, where are the numbers? At least he mentioned the cost of his trailer. How about loads? per mile? weekly? seasons? ups? downs? etc...
You know there are a lot of us that are still doing good, first stay out of debt, and don’t haul cheap freight, but the biggest is stay out of debt. But there are still good loads out there, let those cheap loads stay on the board
Hopefully his kidneys are still intact from the surging. That's how we got the warm milk to stir in with the cold milk before taking it to the processing plant. Nice rig. Now my wife and I haul new RVs from Indiana. Our truck and trailer have no debt on them. We won't say we are killing it as most of the income goes for our retirement. We are living comfortably.
Dude there’s hundreds of drivers killing right now. There is Revenue: $940.8 billion in gross freight revenues (primary shipments only) from trucking, representing 80.7% of the nation's freight bill in 2022. This market didn’t go away. Those going under were over leveraged, poorly ran, irresponsible, unreliable, unsafe. Or just plain stupid. Anyone with half a brain could make an easy $100k a year in trucking. Double that for an O/O.
I own two trucks I drive one and my dude drivers the other and he aint complaining neither am I we making plenty if you aint making money easy find another job if you aint earning the moment you start the truck stay home mcdonalds paying $20 an hour
If he's hauling fuel. That is the only reason why he is making it. The truth is not everyone should or wants to haul fuel. If everyone did. That market would be oversaterated like the Hopper bottom and the flat bed market is. The moment the government makes fuel more easy to haul and get clearance for. That's the moment that sector dies too. It's gate kept by background checks and other factors. Only reason why he's making it. Trying to chase different high paying loads with a different trailer trying to keep up with what freights not oversaturated is not how trucking should work. I'm tired of these fuel haul success stories because the narrative isn't truthful, since that the reason the market is doing well on that side has "special" exceptions at play that every other market doesn't. You could be driving triples right now or oversized and still being robbed by brokers, and manufacturers.
When are you o/o going to figure it out? If your doing good in a bad economy KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. Tomorrow morning there’ll be a flood of rate cutters checking on the price of used tanks. Some Russian or Indian will start a closet office tanker company and start slashing rates and brokering. Sad to say but it’s true. I do very well in my little world. Anytime I’m asked what I do my answer is simple ‘’I’m just trying to make a dollar’’. Others that share my area are the same. We’re very quiet about the money we make. I wish everybody could do this and make good money but unfortunately that’s not how it works.
There are simply too many guys retiring soon to stay completely dead silent. You gotta make it possible for guys to enter the market. Not saying you have to tell all your secrets but shit, gatekeeping destroys sports, trades, and culture.

You not hearing from the guys killin it because their way too busy! Keep up the great work mutha trucker
There’s a ton of us doing well out here , we keep our F in mouths shut

Nice rig. Freightliner hasnt built a halfway decent truck since the classic was discontinued
Alex!!! Thanks for the POSITIVE video!!!! It's about time we have some good news.
My first cash truck was an xl with the 86” sleeper. Former race hauler. I wish I still had it! I’d trade my Pete’s for it!

Smart truckers that are doing great will never give out that info. That would invite other drivers to undercut him.
Food is where the money at if you have the right contact. I haul a lot of olive oil, cashew and peanuts , can't complain
That’s a clean classic!

Gas truck drivers are thriving right now
I’m a company driver, stay busy. Although there is a lot less trucks on the road. Don’t know if everyone else is noticing it.
Doesn’t seem like it, maybe it depends on region.
Great Americans we are🇺🇸♥️

U think so...Reefer with a spread
Nah we win, fellow tanker from Iowa here ✊🤣
The cleanest tanker outfits come from Oklahoma.
