thanks for sharing awesome positive content !!!!
Love your videos, im about to get started with my own authority in Wisconsin, can you make a video of the load board ( power only )in Wisconsin or Illinois area
We might be able to squeeze something.
I just found your channel, love the content and the gems you're dropping here. I'm local here in Vegas and was wondering if it would be possible to get in touch with you some how. I would really appreciate it. Be safe out there.
The only youtuber that will laugh and smile about a horrible week and keep pushing positivity
I try not to expand on the negative. We know it exists doesn’t make your day any better to stress about. I just try to keep pushing and I know things will turn around.
@@pinoytrucking yeah like you said last video week 8 isn’t looking good but hey it’s the honesty and motivation we get from these hard times that keep us coming back
Because he’s pinoy 😅
I was in the Army 20yrs and now stepdeck with one set of ramps and learning from channels like yours! Keep it up hooah
Thank you for your service. If you can try to get up to 16ft of ramps. It’s needed on a lot the trucks you will haul. hooah
How's Coyote ?
No good either. I’m not seeing them too much on the OpenDeck side.
Man being a Motor Carrier has definitely made me patient. Im learning as i go and making the best moves and decisions i can. A lot of people don't want to show you how to run a trucking company because it creates more competition.(IMO) And if they do they want you to pay them life.
It definitely creates competition. I think this industry is big enough that there’s enough for everyone. It’s not like it’s easy to run the show by yourself. That’s why I want to show everyone what I do so people can learn from and maybe go into it or not. I don’t just want to show the good days. I want people to see that there are a lot of bad days too. Sometimes more bad days than good really.
I like your channel a lot mister. And I never took it as you were trying to be a showboat
Thank you 🙏
I spoke with a lending broker today and they told me that as of end of q1 2024 the delinquency rates on commercial truck loans are still increasing and they think that the freight market in general has further to fall before it hits bottom.😕
Any opinion about Sylectus vs DAT?
I hope not on the bottoming part. I’ve never really seen or used Sylectus.
I didn't ask why they thought that, or maybe I misunderstood something. I was surprised to hear delinquency rates were still rising though. At least fuel cost is going down but that might not be a good sign. You seem to be doing OK with the flatbed despite the less than ideal market but I think you've probably made some more strategic choices than most. 👍
Appreciate the knowledge
Thank you 🙏
We need to stick together and help each other!!!!
Agree…
There is a broker in Avon, Big Woods trucking. Probably one of the best rates you can get anywhere. Levi the owner is very honest and all about the customer.
Thank you I’ll look them up.
Where do you get your oversize permits from I heard you say something like er Keller or something I couldn’t find their website or anything
Type JJ Keller on google you’ll find them.
@@pinoytrucking thank you so much
I booked a load on truck stop. I got a load confirmation. I sent my driver 200 miles .Broker canceled & gave the load to someone else. Truck Stop did nothing about it!!!
That sucks. Did you ask for TONU from broker? Seems like a dishonest broker.
Isn't that dbl booking?
@@pinoytrucking seems like a dishonest TruckStop
Broker f**up not truck stop
@@nash1744 it was truck stop they did Nothing about it.
Great information great content….
Thank you 🙏
They should have a law for the brokers to clearly state if it's 1 drop or multi drop. If it'd multi drop it should be double the rate and so forth.
I like your thinking here :-)
What factoring company you work with?
I use OTR Solutions
Yes it was truckstop
Dat used to have a feature that would show you trucks in versus trucks out so you knew you were in a good area... me personally I have found the Bible Belt is about as good as it's going to get with flatbed or step deck's/ kind of glad you got a couple of trolls shows your channel is growing
I would also add on to that. I like AL, TN, GA, SC area for short runs. I know trolls will come along as the channel grows. I don’t mine it. That’s what negative people do. Usually have a miserable life so they try to inflict it on others.
And DAT still have that feature.
Well said bro
After checking all the garbage loads next to Madison-WI for few hours, I decided to deadhead all the way to St . Louis,MO. Better pay money from my own pocket than haul that cheap , insulting rate loads from around Chicago area.MN or WI is no batter, for flatbed, than Oklahoma or Kansas. Garbage. The flatbed business works the exact opposite way of dry van business. States good for dry van ( IA, MN, WI, Chicago area,etc) are bad for flatbeds. States bad for dry van ( AL, MS,LA,KY, PA,WV) are good for flatbeds. Rule of thumb-never run a flatbed toward a state producing food-that’s a box trailer turf.
Very good info thanks… I was originally gonna deadhead towards STL but I decided to go East on 94 in St Paul for some reason hahaha. I was 50/50 then last minute I decided towards Madison. That was a mistake haha 😂
Mr. Pinoy Trucking: FWIW, I think you are doing what you need to do to stay rolling and get by in these difficult times. Your approach to load board freight is solid, and you seem realistic about your choices and responsibilities. As a relatively new entrant to the business who has chosen a tough time to get into trucking, stay the course and get time and miles under your belt so you can have greater choices about what you haul and who you haul it for in the future. Although it is challenging, if at all possible try to work on direct-to-customer freight connections so you can work for someone and not only get all of the revenue but to develop a relationship with a customer who sees the "value" you can provide to them. I am recently retired after 40 years in trucking, going from being an owner-operator to having a small fleet of 10 company trucks. My preference was 65-75% direct freight and the balance from brokers, mostly established brokerage divisions of large asset-heavy carriers that I developed relationships with. I retired financially secure and trucking has been good to me but it required a great crew of drivers, very hard work, perseverance through tough times and more than a little luck. Keep on the path you have chosen and ignore the chirping from the cheap seats. There will always be background noise, especially from the keyboard warriors, but keep your focus on the select group that you choose to be truly responsible to. You do you and maintain your integrity and ethics and you will be successful. Good luck and safe travels.
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words. Enjoy your retirement sir…!
open deck loads have collapsed this week
It did feel that way for some reason. I felt like the market where I was at wasn’t the greatest but there’s enough loads to move around to find a decent rate. I didn’t see too that were worth fighting over.
Saw you in az today lol
Great video most of these haters are company drivers lmao don't pay attention to them they can't even imagine what owning and running a business is like
AZ as in Arizona? If so that’s probably my twin hehehe. I’m still all the way in WI/MI.
Please ignore that asshole about pats on back or sympathy. That vibe does not come across your videos. Putting unbiased information out is just simply that - putting out unbiased information. Lots of us non truckers look for exactly what you are putting out. Your channel is very much appreciated. Thank you for the work you out into this channel!!
Thank you 🙏
Ignore the haters and keep working hard.
Thank you 🙏
Hey man, he went the same process in the 80’s and probably took more L’s than he’s willing to admit. You’re probably at the point that took him 15 years to get to and he’s mad you bypassed all his failures.
I agree. I think sharing information will gradually reduce the amount L’s you’ll take in this journey. Other carriers are still my competitions but I think working together will make us as carriers better $$$ in the long run.
Hi , I can talk to anyone at Truck Stop !!!!
Chicago not any better. I got a coil for 2.23 per mile to Alabama.
That’s not all that bad really. Going to a good market. Although I’m always clinching my cheeks when I haul them hahaha
TQL has a bad rep!!!
TQL is horrible all around. They were good to me when I first started in 2021 but I have pulled for them since 2021 hahaha
Oilers won on game 4! Blue Jays won too!
0:18 😊ok 10-4. Roger that. Thanks for the insight. I didn't think about that. It does seem like Step-Deck is needed almost everywhere. Good point Captain. 🤜🏾🤛🏾👊🏽🙌🏽👑
NOT ALL OF THEM. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sir, I really appreciate your time and videos that you share. Out of ALL the videos I watch related to Trucking and Owner Ops, I believe yours is the most sincere, humble and simplistic. I am praying on having my Own Semi and Authority. I have been a flatbed and step Deck company driver for a a few years but I am considering making more $$$$ as of now I am a Heavy equipment operator and instructor. I may consider RGN lanes. I'm not sure. But, I really am grateful for channels like yours. Blessings to YOU and YOURS, and May the force be with you.👑
Thank you 🙏 As far as RGN or Step/Flat I would suggest give RGN a hard look because you now getting to specifics. Unless you in an area like Texas an RGN would be ideal I think or if you find customers that needs something move all the time then I would suggest it. As far as OTR in general. I don’t think it’s good IMO. I spoke to an RGN driver who’s doing % as a company driver and he shares the same sentiment.
You'd be glad that just now I’ve liked your UA-cam Channel. Cos, your content was really awesome. But unfortunately, there are not much views and subscribers. I noticed that your video SEO score is too weak according to your needs. Because of that, your video is not reaching your target audience. You will be glad to hear that I can help you increase your SEO score so that it is top on the first page of UA-cam which will increase your subscribers and views organically.
So, if you want to do this, I await your response.
