Great information. Got a video on how a loadout works? Specifically when it comes to booking loads while you have someone else's empty trailer. Thank you
I've mentioned it a couple of times but it would make a good vid. It's probably exactly what you would think. If I do a loadout in the near future I'll definitely vlog it.
Great information as usual. question I have. For example. That LO Houston to Laredo at $200. Obviously you can use their trailer after. But what is the normal time period a company will let you use it. 2.6,10 even 24. Or does it varies?? Cause that Houston to Laredo at $200 will only make sense if you can use their trailer for 6+ days.
The loadouts could be any length of time. Sometimes they will only give you enough time to get 1 load in and then deliver their trailer soon after. I'm on a load out now that I can use for 10 full days. I could literally take it anywhere as long as I have it delivered on that 10th day. Sometimes you pickup a loaded trailer and they'll let you use it to get a load back. Some want it back right away and some will let you work your way back. Usually, the ones that offer more money are either a trailer they want delivered quickly or a trailer that will be difficult to load.
Rule number one - do your maintenance on your schedule not on a breakdown schedule. Maintenance in your driveway is way cheaper than maintenance on the wrecker hook. It's a simple concept - if you have a good idea that a waterpump will last 200k miles - change it at 150k you will be money ahead. The single part that will cause catastrophic failure are injectors ... so just have them rebuilt every couple of years and save yourself a piston with a hole burned in it and maybe a ruined 5k head... maintenance math is easy...
@@steadytrucker one quick question - when ur leased on to someone like F2F do they provide the one million liability insurance?? And you provide bobtail and trailer interchange?? If that is the case giving up 20% and getting dispatched - and probably a fuel card would not be that bad of a deal
Hello. New to your channel so I'm not sure if you have done a video on this yet but can you explain the different meanings of loads on the load board and in the comments. Example: what is power only? in comments it said must have a twice card.....helpful to those who are new to trucking
load out is an empty trailer that a company needs to more BUT they will allow you to use it for several days.. they usually wont pay much because they are allowing you to use it,,,, they give you anywhere between 2 to 10 days use of the trailer,,, lots of times its a brand new trailer going to a customer
@@steadytrucker did you run as an o/O? Just curious will he taking ownership of a truck in a week. Deciding between f2f or Jordan. Seems like the o/o at Jordan is treated like a company driver
@@semicrazy7174 you will be treated the exactly the same as company. I ran as company driver for about 2 months then they offered me the truck when I quit. Long story. I paid cash for the truck after about 2 months and got out. My opinion, you will be much much happier if you leave. Have you worked for anyone else?
@@semicrazy7174 lol it will feel like getting out of jail when you leave. The freedom the money. My email is wmtransportllc@gmail.com send me an email and we can exchange numbers if you want to discuss it.
Oilfield. I was running my truck every week from September until last week when I started consulting again, but oilfield is not very consistent so I’m keeping my truck as a gal back, but I want to run it when the oilfield work isn’t always there.
About a month ago when I was looking to buy a used trailer on paper truck dot com I seen lots of used trailers coming out of Orting, Wa but they are expensive

Thanks my brother it help me out , very good information ℹ️ I appreciate you amen 🙏🌻🌞💜
Man i appreciate your videos
thank you I appreciate your content I'm a new power only operation and I will be checking out your videos
Cool. Signed on with someone or your own authority?
Glad I ran across your videos man. Leaving USA and considering taking my truck to Landstar or F2F
I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I prefer f2f for the freedom to get loads anywhere.
A wealth of information here. Thank you
Appreciate it.

Absolutely right saving money but more importantly TIME

@@jth1699 yep they do. My insurance more than doubled under my own authority. They also cover factoring cost
@@steadytrucker Owner op insurance is higher but there is no one asking for 20% of the load off the top
@@ygtcbee23 you got that right.

Absolutely,, probably going to do a loadboard look this weekend and I'll go over those terms
I live in Livingston, just a hop skip and jump down the road. Super small world.

How's your experience verses Jordan carrieres
Lol Jordan carriers is the absolute bottom of the barrel. That's the nicest thing I can say about them.

@@steadytrucker no this is the only truck company I have been with. 6 years of driving. Things have definitely gone down hill from when I started.

May I ask what your deductions are per week at F2F running PO?
I'm going to do a settlement video in a couple of days. I'll include that
Awesome! Thank you. I’m considering coming over, but I also do consulting work. I’ll really only be driving maybe a week, 2 at the most per month.
@@CinnaBohn85 should be a good fit for you. What type of consulting do you do?
Oilfield. I was running my truck every week from September until last week when I started consulting again, but oilfield is not very consistent so I’m keeping my truck as a gal back, but I want to run it when the oilfield work isn’t always there.
@@CinnaBohn85 gotcha. Been there. I worked offshore
Schneider loads are sucks brother cheap like piece of crap
Yes indeed. Convenient because they are going everywhere but cheap cheap
About a month ago when I was looking to buy a used trailer on paper truck dot com I seen lots of used trailers coming out of Orting, Wa but they are expensive
They must be refurbishing and reselling
