    I have been a trucker for many years, flatbed, hazmat, tanker, oversized , refrigerator, doubles triples. Done it all. This man is speaking truth! Now here is my truth, I learned money isn't everything. your time, life, health and family is worth more than what you think you have in your pocket. I made alot of money but no matter how much I made it can never buy back the time and memories I have missed out on. If I could go back in time I would trade all that money to be with my kids and family. Time is worth more than money, money is a false happiness and a lie. It will never make up for what you sacrificed to get it. In the end you end up with alot of money unable to buy what you need most. Be content with what you have, yes work hard succeed and move forward but never loose sight of what life is truly about!

      70 hours a week, So ten hours a day if you sleep in your truck just 6 hours a night or day what ever the shift.
      Or ten hours a day seven days a week, assume you drive home from work shower eat enjoy family....
      I hauled fuel in the ST Louis Metro area, primarly QT, 12 hour days 7 days a week % of the load... great money, never home no ballgames no BBQ no family picnic,

It had about 400k on it when I bought it and when I sold it it had 777k on it. The only thing I ever really replaced was the turbo. The price on the truck on the lot was 13,500 but I got the extended warranty and that brought the price up to like 18k if I remember correctly. I would recommend NOT getting the extended warranty. It was junk. Unless it's an actual FACTORY warranty. I had a 96 FLD with a 48" bunk. I look back and now realize it was a great truck that was really tough and pulled great. I never turned it up and got great fuel economy. I actually miss it. It wasn't much to look at but got the job done.

    I wouldn’t mind netting $700-$1000 a day and being home every night. I’ma have to inquire with a few fueling outfits. However there is only one truck around here that I believe is hauling fuel and is owner/op. Don’t believe he owns that trailer though. It seems to me that the kind of position this gentleman has is not commonly available and maybe not open to everyone. Hope I’m wrong. Sometimes it’s who you know.
    I’ve been pulling tankers OTR since 2014. Flatbed before that. Power only. Cannot own your own trailer as there are too many variables with every load. Customer may require: a rear or center unloader, vapor recovery, kosher tank, restrictions on what chemicals can be loaded behind other chemicals (for example, if trailer has carried pesticides, shipper will not load fertilizer in it) etc. etc.
    Run mostly South to Midwest and Northeast. You can clear $4000- $5000 a week after fuel and insurance. However it is unlikely you will do that every week. Most likely you will have a $2,500 check in between. I’m not saying I make the best money. Some will probably claim they’re making a whole lot more and perhaps they are. More power to you. I’m glad you’re blessed. But I’m just being honest.
    5-7 days is the most I stay out. Perhaps people who stay out longer make the big checks every week but I have a young family and hate leaving them.
    I’m leased on to a company btw. And not every company is built the same. You can bet on that. Some have horrible rates because they bid cheaply in order to get the work. So depending on what outfit you land with the money you can make will vary. And you will most definitely not be making your best money in your first few years. It takes time to know the markets, the good paying loads, to develop relationships with other terminals, etc. etc. And that’s a biggie right there. You may lease on to a good company, but if you choose to lease on to the wrong terminal within that company, you may be doomed. NOT ALL TERMINALS HAVE THE SAME WORKLOAD. Leasing on to the right terminal and even having a good dispatcher may mean all the difference in making good money or a quarter of what you could make.
    As far as chemical tankers, terminals in areas with a strong manufacturing base will tend to be better than say terminals in Florida or California. Texas and Louisiana will always ship more chemicals for example.
    So for anyone who will see this video and look into tankers there’s a big chance you will land on the chemical side and not the fuel tankers. Can you be successful? I do believe so. But there is a way to do it.
    Some things to consider:
    Have a tax plan. Seek a proper tax and estate planner who knows the trucking industry as was mentioned in this video. You will most likely have to incorporate into an LLC and an S-Corporation.
    Research the company you lease onto and by that I mean speak to the drivers not the recruiters. Do they have a good reload system?Also don’t be lead to a company simply because they have nice ads and pretty and shiny new trucks and trailers. If the guy pulling the ugly trailer is making more money than the guy with the shiny trailer.....I’ll take the ugly trailer.
    Avoid debt.
    GET THE RIGHT TRUCK! Right truck for the right application. And by application I don’t mean the one on your phone. Stay away from lease to own programs. In most cases, perhaps not all, all that company is doing is making you a glorified company driver while unloading all the liability on you. They are betting on you to fail. Boils my blood.
    Consider truck maintenance. Some breakdowns can bankrupt you if you’re not ready. Some years will require more maintenance than others.
    Get a good fuel discount program if one is not offered by your company. Those few cents you save every gallon may turn to an extra $5000 to $8000 at the end of the year. I use QPN from NASTC.
    When you net those $2500-$5000 you must still put aside for maintenance and taxes. So be wise and resist the temptation of immediately getting a new car and putting 20’s on it. Better to have a second truck and hire a driver if you find yourself in a good position.
    Anyway. Just some thoughts for those seeking to start a career in trucking and who may consider the chemical tanker side.
    Slow ‘round that turn! Here comes the surge! And there goes your coffee all over the cab. Dang it. ☕️😂

      Nobody will tell you what you should do, and what to avoid. Very secretive. I get that o.o's are competing for loads, but some will intentionally lie and mislead. I was told only affiliate terminals will take you on; only to find out eventually corporate terminal is where you want to be. Every day I think I know enough to jump I learn something new that changes everything. Had I been gung-ho I would have ended up taking the garbage because someone has to. Better him than me mentality. I'm sick of sifting through the bs to find what I need to know to make the right decisions. Those who know better very reluctant to save you from taking the crop and leaving the creme. 5 years tanker. 4 at my company. My truck sitting at my terminal now for year and a half already.

    Set the camera to manual focus and the fstop wide enough to fit both of you in the "depth of field" Better yet sit closer to him on the same plane. Bump ISO up to get Fstop to F8 or F16

    I'm a full time van lifer so I spend a couple of nights per month in truck stops. What I can't help to notice is how out of shape most truckers are. Hours of sitting, truck stop food, they tired etc. . You got to exercise at least a little bit ,like the guy says. Got to! No excuses. I'm almost 61 and I really try to be disciplined about just regular moderate exercise. Nothing too strenuous . It is not always easy but you got to. Keep moving ! Cut out the carbohydrates .

    you got to get in the game. work for someone few years . know insides and outsides then get your own

      Facts! I contacted Kennan Advantage and they low-balled me so bad I decided to stay in refrigerated trucking. Only many years of experience will get you that pay.
