      You are absolutely right..................... But I don't think I want to fall, for working for a company. SO THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK. Is that our opportunity to educate ourselves and a rapid pace so we can have our own business, instead of working for someone else?

    • @modden154
      @modden154 2 роки тому

      @@aredeemable1 What ever happened to the Trucker's Union? That should be a solution. My past work experience is in Payroll and Payroll Tax. In my opinion there are two options. Strike, which would require a union to coordinate, or revamp how truckers are paid. This would be a great discussion topic to get people's opinions on what would aid trucker's to earn more while also making it so that trucking companies can accurately monitor their employees to be sure they are working to earn the money. Paid by miles rewards work, but what happens to the trucker when a dispatch ignores them, slowing due to holidays, slowing due to time of year, etc. Why should truckers get paid by the market demand? On the other side of that, why wouldn't truckers get paid by the market demand! Like now!

    Just got off a consultation call with David, and all I can say is I am thankful for him. I’ve watched almost every video on his channel in the last 2 years and pretty much, my entire trucking business foundation I owe to him and his videos. This year I decided to overcome fear, and start putting things in place to start my own authority at the end of this year. So, I booked a consultation to get some of my final questions answered and get his thoughts on the way I intended to approach things. The value of having someone who is successfully doing something you aspire to do, cannot be overstated. Especially with the way he breaks things down, and is so willing to share his experience. Just being able to have my questions answered, and getting to learn more in-depth about his experience and his methods, has given me the confidence I needed to go for it. Would 100% recommend booking a consultation with him if you’re serious about actually taking that next step to starting your own authority.

    Have 2-3 jobs, pay the lowest rent for your area, always be 100% debt free in consumer/personal side, get used to budgeting every single day, track and know your money and spending habits. Budget for everything....rent, food, gas, condoms, kids field trips, replacement tires on your car, replacement battery..everything..ie. figure out those things that tend to be "emergencies" in the past and start pre paying that money to separate envelopes or accounts. Master the art of "sinking funds". To save 30k is essentially that, a deliberate payment every pay period goes towards it, like a bill. You master that and you can save $300,000 if you want to.
    You have some great tips David, could you break down the art of saving money and budgeting. As an accountant, what software and strategies do you use, perfect or recommend?

      to have an active authority you have to have insurance, so your saying your paying 1500$ a month in commercial liability insurance but you don't have a truck? doubt it

      Learn the industry whichever one you want to do. You can do short doubles and gravel trains and haul aggregate for 8 months out of the year or dry van freight. Flat bed. Anything you want. I’m in the process now and you have to learn and ask every single question you think of to other successful owner operators. Not any owner operator, make sure there smart and successful and take care of there trucks so you get the exact numbers on Maintenance and cost like that. Take a lot of notes. I write down everything in my phone then transfer to my email so I always have it.
