    This is the 2nd comparison video I've seen on this channel where the take-home pay is skewed, because income taxes are withheld from a company driver whereas the lease-operator or owner-operator's "net" does NOT reflect any income taxes. I'm puzzled why he briefly mentions taxes, but doesn't make a true comparison.

    Simple.. start as a company driver learn the game learn the business learn how to run a business, live within your means and pay off your debts if you have any, save for your down payment then finance your truck with your good credit after about 3 yrs…. Then Boom, owner operator, lease on to a great company or one you’ve done your research on and taddah!

  • @sllogistics4754

    I'm constantly trying to explain to drivers that if they would just simply move 2 or 3 of my loads every week they would gross $200,000 to $300,000 annually. It's only a 500 mile trip, or 1000 miles round if you deadheaded back empty. Does any flatbed carrier care to make sense of this? Why would you not want guaranteed loads?
    Here is the math:
    Moving 2 loads per week
    $2000/load x 2 = $4000/wk
    $4000 x 52 weeks in a year = $208,000
    Gross: $200,000/yr
    Moving 3 loads per week
    $2000/load x 3 = $6000/wk
    $6000 x 52 weeks in a year = $312,000
    Gross: $300,000/yr
    Distance: 500 miles
    (5 miles per gallon at $3.40 per gallon fuel price)
    Fuel costs: $350/Trip

    Go to your accountant and your lawyer find out how much it cost to setup a corporation. Probably more than you think it is and then talk to your accountant about Corporate tax rates and your personnel tax rates to find out just how much really ends in your pocket. Don't forget that those repair bills can easily climb to a third of that gross for if you have a bad year and then some years the cost of fuel will be much higher. The reason that the company offers these programs is because it benefits them financially.

    I think my company 2018 T800 is getting around 5.3mpg. When they bought it I’m sure they just walked in and said give me that pretty white one LOL
    Depending on which trailer I’m pinned to I’m 43000-53000 LBS empty and it’s specked out all wrong in my opinion.
    It’s not the worst I’ve ever had, but definitely not the best.
    Heavy hauling is terrible for mileage.

    Great video. I wish you were around when I first started. I lasted 2 years as a company driver and got so fed up (worked for a couple of horrible companies). I gave it up and started working local for a construction company til I managed to get employed with the city in which I live as a heavy equipment operator. I am a supervisor now and have a good pension plan and benefits and make slightly more than the company driver in this example. So things worked out for me in the end. But, had I had your advice back when I started, I may have still been driving as an owner operator or lease operator. Keep up the great work.

    I like your Facts. That is the truth. Not just people making comments with nothing to back it up. It's just all talk. I LEASED a car once. Drove off lot with it. No down payment. When we got a new Vehicle that we were BUYING, the Lease turn in, we payed through are nose for car. The only time I saw a good Lease program was my friends mom, got a Leased car each year from the company that she did all there auto body repair for. My friends mom ran a auto body repair shop on her property. She got a NEW car each year. I know you hit on insurance. What happens when a Lease truck is wrecked. You do NOT want to wreck a Leased vehicle.

  • @ronhon100
    @ronhon100 2 роки тому +2

    Thank you for comparison. In my opinion, you should add $5K meals expenses for lease operator if did for the company driver. Although I am not a driver, my career is relating to logistics in Canada. Since the Covid19, I keep hearing shortages of drivers from the vendors (carriers). Their drivers always complain long hours, low pays and high fuel prices. I understand the drivers suffer from losses during hours of wait times if paid by mileages. The carriers charge their customers wait times, are they paying back to the drivers? Furthermore the customers pay fuel surcharges, jumping from 18% in February to over 35% against base charges since March 2022. Do the extra fuel surcharges benefit to the drivers, especially the owner/lease operators?

    Thank you so much for all of the great info. I’ve been in school for three years and planned to go on to get my PhD but that seems to be slowly slipping from my grasp. I am strongly considering going back to being an owner operator. I was previously an owner operator and made some pretty big mistakes that could’ve bankrupted me, although I was fortunate enough to sell before that happened. Just in the past couple weeks watching your channel I learned what my mistakes were and what I will do to correct it in the future if I go back to the trucking industry! Thank you for ask the work you put in! Who knows, maybe I’ll work for you when you open a facility on the west coast!

    I watch all of your videos I can since finding you on UA-cam! Thank you for everything you do on trucking. I was a driver for 44 years in the USA and in parts of CANADA. Have been thinking about leasing and putting a driver on the truck . Been trying to find a company that essentially would operate the truck and maintain, pay the driver send each month settlement to me after everything so I could build a small fleet. I can’t drive anymore but I can’t find a company that does that any longer. There use to be a couple of outfits that did it that way. I’m still looking for them but haven’t found the category they are under in trucking. Still here!🚛🇺🇸😎

I would say I am passionate about those big trucks, I absolutely love driving and exploring new places. I am an divorced introvert that doesn’t mind spending lots of times alone. So I have lots of pluses in my favour for this job. 3 things actually concerns me though. 1.- Am I getting too old for such a move in career? 2.- The cost of the course to get my CDL? 3.- How easy, or hard, will it be for a guy my age with no experience to actually find a job in your industry? I currently live in Moncton, NB, and you guys are actually looking for new drivers right now…

    Great information here. I'd still like to marry money, BUT, maybe a whining turbo would be more profitable AND peaceful in the long run, ha, ha. On the fuel milage thing, it would be interesting to see the differences on trailers with different wind fairings and those with none. We know truck aerodynamics and engines effect milage, but where can more be squeezed from. I've even noticed those things on the back of van trailers that open up for drafts on end, are they cost effective or even help.

    How many weeks of paid vacation do you have in Canada?
    In europe we have 5 - 6 weeks of paid vacation every year some have even more like working for the state and muncipalties. In sweden we even get more paid for vacation than we would have got working and I believe that is common in europe.
    That is excluding public holidays. In average we have 8,5 working days public holidays in sweden a year. A full week is 5 days or 40 hours but in some countries much less.

    Just trying to understand. The 131,000 was how much the company made? For him to put money into his personal account he would have to pay himself and pay taxes on that money. So technically that number is not net correct? The 81,000 is net pay after taxes. I would assume the better comparison would be 107,000 vs 132,000. Am I right?

    Things you have to consider before being a lease operator is that most companies won’t allow you to take loads from other carriers or companies and balloon payments…. To me if your beholden to the company and can’t except loads outside the company you’re not really an owner operator just a glorified company driver…..

    That’s pretty substantial and would seal the deal for me to be an owner operator
