      Jimmy …. This has nothing to do with this young man’s video.
      But that statement you made of “no way” is simply not accurate.
      Someone’s opportunity in trucking has everything to do with location.
      Every O/O does NOT have to spend time running OTR to generate $1,200 to $1,500 a day on low miles.
      It’s all about opportunity and location, every city and state is created differently.

    No way you pocketed 3k out of 4k gross. You better humble up fast and do some serious math or you will loose that truck in no time. Hopefully that truck don’t take everything else down with it. You pocketed maybe 1000$ after $ is taken out for everything and some put aside for maintenance and repairs. Best of luck.

      Fuel is up, and rates are down. New trucks usually stay out more than 3 weeks at a time, they have to in order to afford the payment. Companies, and o/o's that buy brand new trucks keep them on the road all the time ror a reason.

    Bro that's a $200,000 truck. Your truck payment alone is at least $3,000 a month. Going by dry van rates, i'll be generous and say you got $2.50 a mile on all miles.
    That means you ran at least 1600 miles to make that $4,000. New Cascadias get around 8+mpg, i'll be generous and say you're getting 9mpg, which means you've used 177 gallons at $4 a gallon.
    Thats $708 in fuel. I don't believe your insurance is $1300 a month, but i'll grant you that. At $4000 you're still in the hole -$1000 for the month.
    I have never seen a company or o/o with a brand new truck that could afford to leave the truck sitting unless it's being leased.

Thats who is being drummed out. This guy is a business man first trucker last. He woll ditch that truck and go back once the cash flow dont equal what he thinks. A truck is a liability not a asset. Everything always good until breakdowns occur and its time to pay the tax man and all other fees with trucking. Theres a reason why you hear mostly negativity now about trucking. Sure you can make money. Just like as long as you go to work you will earn money right. But actually get ahead. Not a chance unless you have multiple incomes or living off basically nothing. That is why they keep saying there is no money to be made as a owner now

      If you don’t have cash saved up to where you can fund your invoices until the shipper pays, then you’ll need to use a factoring company to get paid. On average shippers typically pay within 30 days From being invoiced. You have to shop around for insurance. There are many companies out there but you have to do your homework.
