You can make good/decent money with cloud and with most companies. Just find a place that your happy with, and be in place for when the freight volume starts increasing. Too many variables with these drivers out here. Some complain say you can’t make money at some companies. I’ve realized it’s all about the driver. Some don’t want to push it with the split sleeper break. Take a load last minute after 5pm when they already stop etc…Too afraid to Use PC after hours run out. some won’t go NYC east coast, LA etc…then complain about money.
What’s up Mr. Universal! I’d like to say first off I love the videos and thank you for sharing with us your subscribers. I was wanting to know what the cloud truck load board looked like for power only/dry van up here in Greensboro, North Carolina. I’ve got two trucks. One is parked and I was thinking about putting it on with Cloud. Any information would be greatly appreciated 👍🏽 Thanks again
💯 thanks for the positive feedback much appreciated! I’ve never looked at the power only side but I just did a quick search for your area with a 200 mile DH to anywhere and it only showed 22 loads but today is Sunday and most brokers are not working today!
I mean yes you’ll make more than what he made on this specific check because he had 2 trailer payments, but also you’ll be working 14-18 hour shifts making what he made working your ass off the entire time while he be cadillacking down the highways at his own pace making his deliveries on time. Sorry had to chime in on this one🤦🏽♂️ you ain’t an owner op then move on and keep your 2 cents out this chat room. This room for the big dawgs!!😤😁🤙🏽
See I don't do short loads or loads that pay under $1500 or atleast $1200 the time and risk of doing those short load is not worth it because anything can happen out on the road I keep it 500 miles or more and fir 500 miles I do atleast $1800
@@MrUniversal357 glad you understand because I've been threw that and I learned it's too many variables so doing a short load that doesn't pay isn't worth the time because a flat is $500 and those 500 mile loads are really paying $2500 pr 3k it's the brokers that are taking half or 60% that's why I book my own loads and do power only now it pays way more on average
Dope video. Thank you for the information. I actually been waiting for you to drop another video. My question is, do you normally only stay in that region? And what could you have done differently to increase your gross?
Thanks! Sorry for taking so long on the video. I stay in the south during the winter months. I’m having a truck issue so when I had finished delivering Tuesday I went to my mechanic to diagnose the problem and give me a solution until he can get me in to his shop. The first week I started with Cloud I wasted time and money going to shops here in Ga trying to get the problem fixed but they was trying to hustle a man.
@Universal The Truck Driver ok. I get it. Everybody is hustling owner operators, bro. It's a filthy game. After I pay my truck off in a few years, I might be out.
@@MrUniversal357 thanks. I’ll turn 2 years with my license on August. But I’m still going to apply for them. But I want to do flat bed. Have you seen the loadboard for flat bed???? The prices are amazing!!
Most of the loads that was for IC’s the outside carriers and company drivers are running them. They took away our spilt clock. Never enough loads on the board even when your in a freight area. They try and micromanage the O/O. IC load board only be having 300-400 loads a day while the 360 load board will have over a 1,000 daily. Night dispatch would take loads off you without any reason. Night dispatch cant help with nothing. Load Planners post loads on the board without rates or the wrong rate. Those just a few
@@kdtransportsllc5699 Cloud is good! I finally got my truck fixed Tuesday so next week it’s time to turn up. Cloud load board I’ve seen minimal 80 loads in every area I been in. Plus you get the option to use other load boards. 82% to the driver, we cover our own physical damage bobtail and occupational insurance they have partners so we get a discounted rate, ELD $30 a month I got a 2023 trl at $300.00 weekly, escrow account has to have $1000.00 in it, you can run your own plates or use their plate program. Their app is very very good, instant pay is cool, fuel card I use my own I get a better discount
I like his mindset! He knows his 💩

Cheers my friend

Thank you for checking! Looks like van might be a better option.
Most definitely way more options if you got a wagon already
Hey, thanks.. question so if I get on with ct and use there plates, and authority, I can still book loads with other load boards?
Nice bro kep it comin
💯 my guy!!!

You’re welcome

Great video. You get a like. I’m not going near Cloud though. You can make more money as a company driver. 🤦🏻
Thanks and you rite about that

Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome
@@MrUniversal357 are you still with them ?
@vin605 I’m with LandStar
Oh okay be safe out there, appreciate the feedback.
Thanks for the info brother
💯 bruh!
How long have you being driving to get an insurance that low? Great informative video by the way!
I’ve been driving for 16 years but being leased on to a company you get insurance at a group discount rate!
Is there a year restriction on trucks with cloud?
That John deer in Grovetown be paying
Facts
Is this a good load board for sprinter van?
What’s up with all those stops ?
Them multiple stop loads was the ones that was paying at the time so I had to adjust

💯 I’m going local once mine paid off
@@MrUniversal357 do you mean local company driver? Once it’s paid off
@@CForged oh no, local as in hauling containers or something being home every night. I’m keeping the truck!
I know you not there anymore, but can you explain that trailer fee? How are they charging for them?
It’s comes out of the 35% they charge! You never see a trailer fee
@@MrUniversal357 landstar or cloudtrucks. Was asking about CT
CT charges $250.00 a week I think for trailer rental
Do you have to use a Metro Trailer or are there other options? Does Cloud mark up the trailer rate or just pass through the cost?
Are you still with cloud...if not ...why?
I’m gone from CT! MC numbers wasn’t good
Would you recommend ct?
I would! As long as them freight guards have been resolved
Bro how can I reached out to you. I thinking about coming over to Cloud

universaltransportation112@gmail.com
I normally have the phone off on Saturday, and Sunday but Monday- Friday it’s always on
I'll touch bases tomorrow. I'm leased to JB but I've been checking out Cloud
Bet! We’ll link up
What’s the cost on the trailer?
$300.00 a week
I thought they only take 18% and fuel that’s all!?
They say insurance is included in the 18%
They get 18% and if you opt in the plate program they collect that until paid plus you have a $1K escrow. I use my own fuel card
@@MrUniversal357 thanks. I’ll turn 2 years with my license on August. But I’m still going to apply for them.
But I want to do flat bed. Have you seen the loadboard for flat bed???? The prices are amazing!!
Nah I never looked at the flatbed side. But depending on the area you in I’ve heard flatbed is still doing good
@@MrUniversal357do you get to keep the plates after it’s paid?
Can they do box truck?
I don’t know
Ducts
Why did you leave JB HUMT bro?
Most of the loads that was for IC’s the outside carriers and company drivers are running them.
They took away our spilt clock.
Never enough loads on the board even when your in a freight area.
