    It's not about how much you make. It's about that you do with what you make! Trucking should NEVER be your end game. Use it as a springboard for other investments. Multiple streams of income. That's how you get rich!

    I’ve been flatbed owner operator for 9 years, im leased on with System Transport. Grossing 500k a year, strictly trucking is very, very hard to believe. I know alot of owner operators none of them gross or myself get close to 500k gross. I gross around 300k every year and that’s strictly flatbed, no oversized. Lots of tarps… lots of hard work.
    500k, not so sure about that one…

    Great video, Fairly new to this industry, but a fairly decent understanding of economics and labor, I don’t understand why people in this industry speak in gross numbers, even the recruiters do such. It seems that there’s a certain deceptive nature in this industry and I think it stems from this country’s reliance on individualism, GRQ mindset, and the lack of collectivism in this industry, paired simultaneously with a high turnover rate. One thing I’d recommend to someone who’s trying to start a logistics company, research 3 months at least first , consider collectivization and having helpers, consult w lawyer , accountant, and competitor consultant, and buy cash, keep operating costs MINIMAL and realize when you’re partnering or employed through your COMPETITOR , you will always be subservient to their rates

  • @Israel_alive_forever

    That’s some unreal no proves, just numbers on the phone. As an owner operator with own company: there’s 9-12k weekly gross with 2 axle RGN trailer, minus avg 1700 a week on fuel, minus 3% factoring, minus 2k every week for future repairs and maintenance. It’s 5k a week (with 9k gross). 20k a month, minus insurance $1000. $19k a month after all expenses (if truck and trailer paid off) if they are not paid off it’s minus $5k a month conservative. Well we came up to $14k a month. It’s $168,000 a year. On RGN trailer where prices are from $3,5 a mile to $12 a mile.
    Now someone tell me, how tf he got a gut to multiply his earnings 4 times openly lying to gain audience to sell his “mentorship”? Actually I answered my question just above.

    If you're making 600k (before taxes) a year, you will 100% become rich after 10 years if you do what you're supposed to do.
    Let's start out lighter at a 60k job. There are people living okay and saving up with a family on a 60k job. Just because you make 10x that DOES NOT mean you should 10x everything you do. You are literally in the highest tax bracket possible of any country except for maybe Saudia Arabia. There is no way your basic bills should be 5 figures a month, and just because you got it doesn’t mesn you should keep giving your money away. Those same people can get up and do for themselves as well. There is a difference between being generous and being stupid.
    This is the first video I've seen of you, so i don't know, but if you're coming home with 350k cash, no less than 150k of that should be in investments. You or your wife, or both of you, need to sit down and figure that out. If you put 150k in the S&P 500, in 10 years you should average a profit of 15k per year before taxes even if you don't put a single dime in it again. However, i would put at least 150k in it every year. After ten years if you decided to stop, you'll still have anywhere from 1.6-1.8 mill based on the basic 10% return consistency and the money you kept adding. And if you're at that rate and put in nothing else after, that 1.6 mill will pay you an average of a 160k (before taxes), every single year for the next 10 year period (despite ups and downs per year, for every decade, that decade averages 10-11% returns).
    You need to make a budget and not try to keep up with the Joneses, and not try to be an atm for your folks. This is exactly how people with money go broke. Invest, retire happy and allow your money to make money for you. Make sure your kids have an inheritance.
