Hey thank you for sharing that info! Im gearing up for some of that work here south Tx I have a half round end dump and wanna keep it busy thanks again for pointing out those load boards and how it works at the querry. Man your Travis is badass. Looks good at night. 10-4
I’m thinking about getting my own authority. Working for a bid dry bulk carrier. Don’t like dispatch. Been in the trucking business for 40 years. Any in formation would help.
im flatbed driver got opportunity to do local work here in TN as owner operator movijg scrap metal for next few months wondering if its worth buying the trailer and have enough local work here paying decent
I would be careful buying equipment right now unless it’s cash you can burn. The local markets are taking a hammering from the OTR guys not being able to run and who knows where that’ll stop. I’m not sure on the TN market but my advice to you would be call some quarry’s and ask how their volume is now compared to the last few years. Don’t stop at just 1 call though because they don’t always shoot you straight. Then call some Aggregate brokers and ask them the same thing. You should be able to get a good idea on the market just by that and help you make a decision. If the work is there and you have the cash to burn then by all means man, buy it and hammer down.
@@WSFTFORLIFE no cash at all was going with 0 down and 72 month huge payment snd terrible interest i just spent my last 50k on reman 12.7l detroit. clutch, new 13 speed and almost every part on my 379 plus some chrome stuff and im doing okay with flatbed especially since i own truck and trailer but its killing me to make ends meeet with these shit rates. scrap broker gave me lane running 2 runs a day between nashville (where i live) and jackson which is 130 miles. each $720 so its $1440 a day running 500 miles. its very good considering i work like a dog to make 1500/ day flatbed and not go home at end of day plus i could save on maintenance, insurance etc since im relatively local but all these scrap trailers are 60-70k $ and its scary to take a $2500/ month trailer and invest in wet kit and end up to be 2 months of this lane and then i cant find good work very scary
Hey i really appreciate all the information you talking about i just relocated to dfw..im asking do you mind giving me contacts on brokers and quarries? I’m willing to pay for that information im just trying to get going
Yes sir, I go over it in part 2 of the 2 part business series I did. Here’s the link to that video. Part 1 is over expenses if you want to know more on that. Thank you for watching! Trucking Business Part 2 [Figuring Rates] [Income] th-cam.com/video/1KEy8Vqj2c4/w-d-xo.html
@@twistedtrucker7781 most of the brokers in the DFW are local only BUT almost all of the brokers on bulk loads are regional and have contacts all over. Not saying they’re guaranteed but just another hook in the water
@WSFTFORLIFE yeah bulkloads is a joke,the only loads on there are the ones nobody wants!! I'm in a good place right now I have some good work going on but I was interested in the rock brokers because it's getting time for me to start working closer to home. Been on these roads with my own trucks for 25 years now,and around my way there's lots of local guys doing local work but you can't get any information on who and what they are doing??
@@twistedtrucker7781 call the quarry’s and ask them who their top haulers are and start calling those companies. If you get an operator at the quarry’s that don’t want to help, just keep calling until you get someone but most of the time they’ll tell you the companys name.

What would you say is the most challenging part of being owner operator?
Great points!!! I’ll will try to cover in the next few videos!!
Thank you for sharing, I really want to do this! Can you tell us more about your trailer please?
Yes, I’ll do that tomorrow!!!! Anything particular you would like to know? Are you familiar with end dumps?

Any work in north Texas Dfw?
What's the freight like in the winter time
Slow, very slow
What about leasing under a company ?
In my opinion, that’s the way to go.
Can you talk about what the load pays if you can

can you find loads for dump truck on this load board ?
A few. But mainly transport loads above 25tons
How can i find a good broker?
Flipping between the two camera angles is aggravating.
Who are these rock brokers you speak of?
Which ones? The DFW area?
@WSFTFORLIFE no I'm in North Carolina. Didn't know if these people had contacts all over.
