- I think we all need a break from the freight market for a second so I made a video that wasn't very easy to make for me for some reason. How I got into trucking and how I became a UA-camr.

Miranda, I'm also a female, a tomboy, few female friends. My husband is a CDL holder and I ride with him. I own 50% of our business. I navigate and make sure we get paid and have all the paperwork, a royal pain, done so we can take loads. We are a lease carrier and many ask why we're still here. Hubby has 48 years but I only have 5. It amazes me the lack of respect and comrardie in the industry. Keep your head up and stay strong. Some days a voice we know, yours, is all that's needed in the tin cans.
Same here...😊
You father was very wise to envision an opportunity here in the States. I am sure he is very proud of you😊
Glad you ended up in trucking and decided to teach us all from the scratch.
Thank you for sharing your story. I can see that you were not born here because of the energy and willingness to succeed in America. Keep posting your videos, truckers love you ❤️
What an interesting observation!
You are an awesome lady! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with the trucking world. You make a huge difference in the lives of truckers who want to excel in the business.
Hey Miranda, I just had to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible content you create. Your videos are like a backstage pass to the trucking industry, giving us an insider's view that's both informative and fascinating!
Your dedication and commitment truly shine through in every video. I can't help but appreciate the transparency and authenticity you bring to the table. It's evident that you're passionate about sharing your knowledge and helping others understand the intricate world of trucking.
Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. You've become a guiding light for those of us who are navigating this industry, whether we're seasoned pros or just getting started. Your ability to break down complex concepts into understandable bits is a skill that not many possess, and it's something we all benefit from.
So, here's a big personal thank you from me and countless others in the community. Your awesomeness is contagious, and we can't wait to see what insights and revelations you'll bring to us next. Keep shining, keep inspiring, and keep that trucking magic alive! 🚚🌟
With admiration and respect,
Luigi!
🙏
You're a trooper for keeping up with all of this UA-cam business on top of trying to keep your businesses afloat. 👌🏼

Hello Miranda, thank you for sharing your experience, I liked it.
Miranda... ... This is your _BEST VIDEO EVER!_ Thank you for doing this video! It actually made me cry slightly at one moment. I am so proud of you for the journey that you have traveled, where you've come from, where you've gotten to, and all of the steps in between. I admire and respect you! Very inspirational.
Thank you for the glympse. 🧐🤓 Sincerely and Respectfully
Thank you, I've been OTR for 17 years now and it can take a toll on a person. I wish everyone all the beast and be safe out there.
Great to understand your background & how you started. 👍🏿
Hi Miranda your beautiful smart and down to earth honest. Thanks for all you do, you make this industry better. I've been trucking for over 30 years leased to a small family owned company. I've always loved trucking but starting to grow a little weary of it, little hard on the health. Take care and keep up the good work!
You learned very well & very fast I've been in trucking 20 years and I watch you and I share your videos to my friends whom also been in the business 20 years plus. No don't listen to those people with negative comments the smart people are enjoying your channel.
I am a owner operator dispatcher/Driver
Your video get me emotional when you was you talking about the difficulty, we has Driver dealing with on the Road everyday .
I love you videos, I watch them every Friday.
Miranda, thank u very much for this video. I am glad to get to know more about u and your family’s history in how everyone came to the US and how you got into the trucking industry. You are an inspiration to so many people! I learn so very much from your videos. Thank u so much! God Bless! ❤
Good to know the way u got into this business, I also moved to US and jumped into this business without realizing how hard it was. But if we can do trucking and still survive during these days. My feeling is like nothing can stop me! It definitely made me a strong person especially from where I came . God bless u Miranda
I liked and subscribed to her channel about 3 or 4 months ago. She is extremely insightful about the markets. And she covers all markets flatbed which I am grateful for. Dry van, reefers the whole shabang. This video was awesome a little bit of insight to who she is and how everything came about. It's funny to listen to this video thinking she thought that the entire thing was one vehicle and that flatbeds did not detach from the tractor. To where she's at now!!
Thank you for sharing. I just decided to educate myself because I want to own my own trucking company, and I FIND YOU ❤. INSPIRATIONAL
Thank you for sharing. What an interesting story and it’s true. Sharing stories like yours gives us insight to your path in this industry. You really have a multitude of perspectives that help you understand the big picture. Especially from the drivers perspective.
Your English is perfect. I never thought that you wasn't born in the US. I'm a truck driver here in Brazil and I watch your videos to improve my English and to learn about the freight market. Thank you 🙂
Bravo it takes effort to manage a business and well it’s clear the effort is paying off. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to have you in the American family!
Great video Miranda! Thanks for the clarification on how you ended up in this wild industry.
Loved the video mate. Never feel like you can’t post something. There will always be negative people but there are still positive ones who would like anything you post because of your personality and way of being, simply.
Covid lockdowns are coming in September. Colleges and nursing homes and federal agencies, tsa,border patrol. Masks started last Friday and will slow roll into new year .
Thanks for sharing.
IM SURE SINCE WE LIKE YOUR CHANNEL AND CONTENT ITS GOOD TO GET TO KNOW YOU A LITTLE AS WELL . THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND HEY WERE HUMAN AND ITS GOOD A LITTLE CHANGE FROM ALL THIS DRAINING HARD WORK WE DO . :) HAVE A AWESOME DAY !!
love your show you expose so many interesting details about the realities of trucking
That’s awesome Little M!!! Thanks for sharing- your a rock star💯💯
Thank You Miranda, it was so nice to get to know you and your story, I too am a tom boy and relate more with the opposite. I prefer their company. I appreciate you, keep up the good work. God bless you :)
So personal, thank you for sharing ))
"Bridezilla" - that's a good one, haven't heard that before ))
Your channel is very useful and I always follow for the updates and according to your updates analyzes I direct my dispatcher thank you for everything you have done for our community. I am an owner operator with Flatbed Canestoga and I wait every week of your analyzes. Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you!!! I like the you use data to understand the market. You don’t make the data, if they are good it’s not fault. Don’t let people discourage you. Understand the data is the only way to take cool decision. You inspire me!
Good morning Miranda blessing you up early 🎉I like your energy
My family and I are in same position now and dealing to start booking loads as a new carrier with new authority, I wish I started watching your videos few month ago when I started researching all the topics related to the trucking business that you are explaining in your videos so well, but still they are so so helpful . It is a hard work to do all of this especially when you are full time housewife . P.S. When I started watching your videos, I had a guess that you had something in common with Georgia, but because of such good English, I was not completely sure, but now I know. We are from Georgia. Thank you for your videos ...
Thank you for what you do from the bottom of my heart.
Very interesting story. Happy you decided to present this.
I had to laugh at the part, where foreigners wanted to start a trucking company in the US. Not construction or any “sane business “ where chances of success would be easier.
Jump into the deep end of the pond ! With all the regulations and cut throat business in the industry, we “ citizens “ are reluctant to get in.
I’ve had a class A before they were CDL’s. 1989.
I was a tech school trained diesel mechanic, that had a tough time getting into the industry. I decided to get a truck license so I would have more opportunities.
That strategy has worked, especially in the rural area of western Colorado where I’m at.
In my opinion, you have a better shot with your business being in a population center like LA.
In rural America like where I’m at, or say Montana it would be much more difficult IMO.
I admire your determination !
Thank you for sharing Miranda. That was tough for you. I get it. You want to be open and transparent however you need to (or should imo) keep your personal life personal. I started a YT channel (faceless) and I'm wondering how much to share about myself. I want to help people but not have to deal with the weirdos. I also connected with guys growing up. They're much easier to understand. I'm a straight-shooting, no-nonsense kind of person. My hubby is a simple man and I love him for it.
Thanks for sharing your story, i see a very honest person…. Strong and sensitive a the same time.
Keep on trucking Miranda.!
Great job
Great video, now we know who's talking to us. 🙂Never would have guessed you came from the fashion industry, with no trucking knowledge, you're killing it. I think you'd be successful in whatever you applied yourself to.👍
Very enjoyable video, thanks. You’re a superstar and a mentor for many of many us. Keep guiding us and we want more content like this. Like a podcast with your husband.❤❤
Great video Miranda! Thank you for sharing your story and your experience with us. I enjoyed your story because I came to the trucking business from corporate world as well as accounting and payroll specialist. At that moment I was working with my husband on financial part of his business but never had any experience with dispatch or compliance. So my story of getting to the trucking industry to is similar with yours. I have Ukrainian background as well. The only difference between us is that I am living in Canada and you in USA. I am trying to watch every episode of your videos and find that it is very informative and helps better to understand a current situation in industry. I wish you all the best in your journey. We will survive! 😊
Darn Tootin!! You’re Amazing 🤩, Tip my hat to ya getting personal sharing your story is not easy, You always keep it real with us 💯 🙏🏼. A class people had to take when getting a DL on how to drive around Semi trucks is definitely needed 🚛🚛
Miranda, I've been in this industry since 1989 before the IRP. So many phone calls back then! And today it's internet by phone and or email. I still prefer the simple phone call to do business, And! I find this "by email only" more & more frustrating! We ALL come from 'somewhere' as I have come from also. I'm first generation myself. Keep on asking questions! The more educated you become, all the more powers to you!!! ❤
23:39 Miranda, thank you so much for sharing your story. Your videos teaching and encourage me a lot. I just started my own company a month ago. I dispatch my self and drive as well. When I heard your story I related myself with you. Doing everything on your side it’s hard but I’m not alone on this. I don’t have the CDL just drive a 26 ft Box Truck OTR for now (hopefully get it soon). Thank you again for wonderful work you do.
awesome. Great story. great job. it was educational, thanks.
Thanks for sharing that with us and I’m glad your in the trucking space and I love your videos
We needed this break….😉
Thank you for sharing Miranda 🌹❤️
nice. Lets go
Hi MIRANDA. You are amazing. Thank you for doing this video. You are such a fascinating person. It makes me angry That people have been rude to you. Thank you for not quitting. Thank you for being such a great example for us to follow. Thank you for how quickly you learned the industry. You speak about it far better than I can. You are truly amazing. God bless you. Thank you for the videos. I wish you all the best. I pray that the Lord will bless you with great success. You’re such a nice person.
Thx so much for the time and effort you put into these videos. Blessings to you and your family !!!!
Respect to this testimony.
What an incredible and interesting success story. One question came to mind for me as I was watching this. Have you had the opportunity to rise along in the truck and witness the process yourself?
Beauty as usual;)
You’re doing great, keep up the good work! Enjoyed the video.
Thank you 💜 for sharing appreciate you💜
Great Video! Thanks for sharing!
Cool beans. Finally lost our dedicated contract. I've been planning for this day since we got it 3 years ago. I wont be making as much money but I've prepared because I know nothing lasts in trucking. There are so many changes that happen it's difficult for most people. I've learned to welcome change and that's a gift trucking has given me. So many people quit when things change. This is a game for the prepared and adaptive. Play the game by the games rules to win. It's chess not checkers we don't know what the next moves will be but plan for multiple strategies. If anyone puts all their eggs in one basket in trucking they will most definitely face hard times
Wow as a driver. I appreciate your respect for our sacrifice that we make every minute that we spend away from our love ones. 4 /5 months at a time sometimes.
I just tried to comment on your newest vid, which I like to check ea time they come out.
There is some problem with writing comments when i go to your new postings here on youtube. A comment widow does not appear.
Why I got through here is pot luck. I've mentioned this before.
Like your style survival mode here too. Since Trump left. My temp control set up down from 3.29 rpm to 2.18 currently. Learned I can survive @ 4,600.00 weekly but its much harder now that everything has pretty much tripled in cost whats your bottom per truck weekly just to pay bills
You remind me of my daughter. I used to say it's time to prrrrraise the LORD and do that little arm pump you do when you say "Let's go!" It's a great touch and family friendly
“We had to win no matter what“ 😆
God bless you Ma'am...i love what you do and the way you do it...may you always be blessed for the greatest good of Gods will for you in the name of Jesus Chist Amen..
They say more comments help grow the channel encourage everyone to keep the chatter on MAX!!!
Hi Miranda trucking 25 years and it's hard to imagine how the gov could F Up an entire industry as vital as transportation & commerce. There selling of our jobs cheap. 78 countries around the globe have a lottery system so many thousands men are chosen paid for to come to America to drive a truck and have an opportunity to become a citizen! Pretty cool Now Capacity overcapacity More trucks than loads Is the number one reason Small, independent trucking compindependent contractors and owner-operators. Are being hit the hardest. The onslaught of foreign acontracting through broker's offices as dispatch services no problem intended literally 10,000 of people working from home lounging in their pj's for 150.00 you can learn to become a certified dispatcher And work for hire from the house. It's just amazing how many people with laptops working from home have managed to weasel their way into this industry. The US government is selling off. American trucking jobs. To anyone from around the world, willing to pay that cost for an e two visa It's one of the most blatantly obvious Deceitful And hateful thing unthinkable!
Salut alors. Je suis de Québec, de Montréal en particulier. Nice to meet you… again. ;) Enchanté!
Salut. Mon français est terrible!
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful pas grave. Можем говорить по русски. Or we can keep doing it in English which is classic.
I vote english!
We appreciate your effort to help us

Will you ever do a back office freight course ?
I have a bit of back office (compliance, taxes, etc) covered in my Carrier Course!
I HAD My cdl since 2010 & my ajthority since 2011 , and yes sometimes I think of getting out of this industry but @ the same time if you make good runs and no issues which is sometimes hard you can have a pretty good life maybe not a rich one specially when deisel is high , but one of the main things for me is I do it for my family my wife, and if everything is good @ home and the support is there well it will make truckin much easier for that other person on the other side of the steering wheel.
7:35 had me 😂 same for me
Bravo!
Дявлюсь вас дякую за Інформацію
Hi,
One discussion between brokers I heard on UA-cam is that because of the massive nationwide warehouse construction boom, rates can be low for a very long time.
Why? we are moving away from the "just in time" inventory model because of lack in confidence with China relations among other reasons.
Therefore with unlimited nearby warehouse space shippers will no longer be in a hurry to ship, and can have time to wait for the best deals. What do you think?

I really like Miranda and this channel !!! But honestly, People coming to the United States and driving trucks is hurting this industry. I've been in this industry for 25 years as a driver and a dispatcher. Very rarely does an owner operator /driver pickup from us that is american. Most of them can't speak english either. They will show you their phone so you can read the pickup/delivery info. Also, they are working for pennies and living in their trucks. Why is the US giving cdl's to non citizens!? I understand why people want to come here, but the US can't take care of everyone. The trucking boom was created by covid and online shopping. Now that it's over there is not enough work. This industry has too many drivers working for too little money and it's not going to get better. Love channel!
You definitely stand out because you're completely logical and are not ruled by emotions, which many women are in my industry. Did you ever do a video comparing SMLLC's or S/C corporations with a trust fund? I saw videoes stating LLC's are less hassle, but you seem to squeeze the most margin possible for your members. Is it better to outsource some of the S/C corporations taxes? Just curious. I'm not in trucking and a W-2 employee, but plan on starting trucking after retirement. Your husband certainly is lucky.
I am the same way! I will be your friend hahah
I came in 08 and got my citizenship around same time with you, greek-turk-yugoslavian backgorund, you mentioned grade 1-4? how old are you? You meant college grade 1-4?
I thought I heard some kind of accent but couldn't figure it out 😂
From Prada to Peterbilt.
What commercial insurance do you recommend for flat beds?
Thanks
Miranda appreciate the shared info! #tomboy
THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL
There are always trolls. If you love your job, stay in it. Don't worry about what those dummies have to say.
Miranda I have figured it out your definitely OCD!!! I,m ADHD so that's not to bad!!!!
Good observation!
Lots of fish 🐠 oil my Dear Lady it helps!!!😀 plus walking 🚶♀️!!! Keep up the great work we’re at and inflection point msm is saying no resession people know we been in one for awhile!!! Big 🏦 are pumping out the disinformation Trump would be proud 🥹!!!😂😂😂
Propaganda sorry 😢 that’s the word I was looking 👀 for!!!
From Versace to Volvo.
Wuz up M🎉🎉🎉
Your realize the best beamer is the M class
Hi there, how do you deal with broker's shipper when the shipper refuses write in & out on the BOL for my detention pay afterward. Thanks
I write them on there myself
Good job on the change up video . Also as a Man with daughters and granddaughters. The older i get the less I understand woman .
Haha 😂
From Chanel to Cascadia.
Hell yeah. U see me make luv to that Tesla?
Hey... Why don't you pull government freight ?
This is something I am looking into
Miranda you got your foot in the door as a dispatcher??
No I started out as a carrier. Basically diving head first into something I had no clue about
@TruckingMadeSuccessful but you didn't start by driving is all I was asking...
Oh no, I never had a CDL. I am terrified of being in a Semi Truck- strange isn't it
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful Things have changed at least if you can afford the newer technologies. According to OOIDA 68% of students that graduated a government funded school (all are) cannot double clutch a manual transmission and demonstrate they can control the speed up & down in gears like all professional drivers need to b e able to do. So these companies Have to buy equipment these drivers can operate. Only the best for the drivers that shouldn't even be. Driving vehicles with a gross vehicle weight over 26,000 lbs.
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful I'm really want to learn how to get loads and dispatch just a couple trucks...
So who did you end up with insurance starting off?
