This is not a dis at all and if your a owner operator and your just doing $500 to $700 dollar loads thats a deal that won't work in the industry I don't move my truck for under $1500 because it's not worth doing because anything can happen on the way, my last load was put of Sacramento cali to michigan and that payed me $5800 in a half week and I finished off with one to Arizona fir $4800 on 2000 miles thats $10,600 that's in 8 days and if anyone thinks doing $500 dollar loads they will fail doing that because a flat tire or a tow can cost you $500 or $1000 and a overhaul is $40,000 so if your not grossing atleast $8,000 and up per week or minimum if $7500 that truck will need a inframe or out frame at 20,000 engine hours when that warranty is up and that will be ut I tell everyone and those 500 mile loads are supposed to pay atleast $1400 to $2000 so if yall don't know that brokers will play even a 400 mile load is paying $1200 if you ask for a increase
I respect everyone view points.and opinions! Anytime someone says something to me I take it with a grain of salt. Right now the way I run it works for me. I have a lot of other things going on in my life to where I can’t be on the road all week or weekends. But with the money I do make it’s able to handle all the business I have with no worries. And when I get everything situated my income will increase with trucking but I’ve prep myself for everything I’m doing
You're not getting $3 a mile everywhere pulling dry van. The national average for dry van is $2.11 a mile. Longer hauls nets you less per mile, shorter runs is where the money is right now. You've got to be talking about flatbed or reefer.
I’m from Mississippi I Stumbled across your channel a couple months back been locked in every since man my hat off to you! You get straight to the point and 100% transparent
Just got on to Landstar as an owner op. My first load is this upcoming Monday. And just stumbled on your channel. Much respect man, stay safe out there.
@myperspectiveletstalk8616 Nah. They wouldnt even respond to me on the first load on time. I moved on. When they did respond, they cancelled the load on me.
@@MrUniversal357s an Owner Operator Sir… That is absolutely the wrong mindset to have. Just because it delivered the same day, there is not much revenue at all. You moving like a company driver. And furthermore, you are contributing to the problem with these rates. Please do better. It really sounds like you just hauling ass threw the South for fuel money. Just listening to you explain what you were hauling, off the head I can guesstimate you ran for less than $1 a mile.
@mrjuneteenth3060 Going east out of Alabama doesn't pay shit. I haven't been there in like 7 months even though I live in Georgia. I recently ran a load to Mississippi, and checked the rates in AL...same thing, still not paying because the loads around southern Alabama mimick Florida. The closer you are to Florida the lower the rates are cause everyones trying to get a load out. I agree, that mindset of having same day delivery as justification was silly, but those rates will always be garbage and unless you find a specialized shipper or something. Those loads from Atlanta to south Georgia should have pay alot more though....
See this is what I'm talking about I don't even do short loads because it always end up making the week low and if anyone thinks $500 or $600 dollar loads will pay to fix a truck or handle business they will learn that it's not going a good outcome and purchasing any truck with over 600k miles you will always have trouble
I've been doing short runs for 4 years as an owner op and have been doing fine. My truck also has 1.7 million miles on it and is doing fine. Idk what country you're from, but dry van rates are down in America, and you aren't getting $4 a miles cross country.
Thats why i parked my truck i just cant see making anything less than 3k a week profit running my truck when i can go back company and make 2k 2500 a week personally i would park it brotha
If you want to make so real consistent money look into Oakley Trucking. I was at Landstar for 6 years and couldn’t take the agents and low paying freight anymore.
Good video! I work at landstar you have the recipe for success, but one thing u missing is your own trailer sit back do the math. You have the laminated card that tells u what u need to know.
Thanks! I gotta get my money back up before I get a trailer I’ve took some major hits these past few months but my own trailer is coming! And a big 10-4 on that Laminated Card! Hopefully we’ll cross paths on this big road
I totally understand! And one more thing don't put that star on the side of yo truck just DOT info and don't make your numbers so obvious but they there😉 just some thangs I done learned the hard way!
Aye big bruh. I got a question. If I got a truck and trailer signed on to Landstar as a fleet owner and not a driver how do I find a driver to run it ? Good looking fam . 💯
Theres a expense that was missing what was the truck amount for repair. That net pay is actually not accurate its not accounting for truck repair and taxes.
Right on my brotha I’ll be joining in a couple of weeks and I live in the southwest out of New Mexico I have my UA-cam channel and would greatly appreciate some advice from you anytime my brotha so please stay safe and God bless you and your family 💯👍🏾💪🏾🙏🏾✝️
Get you a otr performance scan tool, ignore that mil light it comes on because of your knox sensors connection, my knox sensors would go bad every winter. I used the reset tool to ride and make money.
Always count them DH miles big dog. They matter if you moving unloaded or loaded they count. You will learn the ins and outs just keep goin. Tap in with me and I can chop it with you on a couple things. It. Start think and moving and asking for rates based off your TOTAL miles. Include it and get better rate for your deadhead too. Don’t think like a company driver anymore your NOT. Nuthing you buy is discounted to YOU, stop discounting your SERVICE! Shoot me your line and we’ll can get on the phone with you.

Seems like really low rates brother. Alabama to NC for 600$? I would have thought Landstar's rates would have been better. Thanks for an honest video
Yeah it was low but at least it was same day delivery

Do Landstar provide trucks to on coming drivers
No sir
They don’t . But you can still get on with Landstar . They have Fleet owners who are always looking for good drivers . You can run for them while you stack your money to buy your own truck in the meantime and between time .
The process to get into Landstar was crazy but finally orientation next week
Game time
Word! Lol took em almost 2 months to hire my ass 😂
Way to long
Bro I started the process in December..wasn’t rolling until April. & guess what..they even sent me in for a random my first week . Lol it was cool though..the wait was worth it

I do sometimes but if I can make some decent money running short I’ll do that
Are you still there?
Yeah I’m still at LandStar
So you're avgering 1.50mi for all miles...
For that week yes!

Are there fees every week with landstar?
Yes weekly and if you get the Physical Damage Insurance it comes out once a month
Was that after landstars cut?
Yes
Any numbers I give will always be after they’ve gotten their money.

Thanks! Most definitely in this market we in now, plus the issue I had with the truck I most definitely feel like a did good
What’s great brethren…I’m from Tupelo as well 🤙🏾
