As a young buck getting into the industry putting in 70+hrs a week working my ass off and saving every dime to buy a rig I cant appreciate more hearing stuff like this. Its super intimidating trying to find my way through it so huge thanks!
I am 15 years old at the moment and I love to watch these kinds of videos because it is my dream to start a trucking company and grow mine just like you did your! Thanks for this video it really did help me!
Gd morning. Even tho these vids are 4yrs old, I appreciate all of your efforts and work ethic!! I'm a HotShot business owner with a 7.3 Dually and I'm getting into Dump Trucks this year. Thanks for your grind bro!! Much respect!!
I really appreciate all the knowledge you share, people dont understand what its like to find someone with knowledge willing to share. You clearly know what you are doing and you inspire people like me to make something from nothing! Thanks Mr. BigDick
Great knowledge man. Thank you. Keep sharing cause I'm soaking everything up. I want to be a owner one day. In the next 3 years I'm going to buy my first truck. I work for a dump truck company right now hauling asphalt everyday. I see the struggles everyday. Going to watch the how to finance a truck video next. Thanks again and keep making these videos.
I bought my first truck for 60k and worked only days for 6 months, I made 100k and didn’t pay myself, and that allowed me to buy a 2nd truck, and now I’m working on my 3rd truck.. the key to making money is ownership “
yeah infrastructure is key. Those tools saved you money between the mechanics shop and the extra job income. They cost as much as a new truck but last a lot longer.
Down to earth and you speak the truth. Keep on keepin on! Love your video's. My wife said do you still watch the guy that cusses a lot on TH-cam i told her why yes i do. 😆 You my friend need a tv show!
I'm a truck owner just started. I run my own service truck and drive the dump truck. I going through some of the problem your talking about now.... Trying to get my channel up and going follow me. I always watch you videos. Good job
I caught interest in your channel when your we're going to buy 4 or 5 brand new dump trucks trying to see how you were able to. I'm interested in how much you put down, type of ways to get a loan etc. Didn't really find that out, but watched this video. Most dump trucks in my area get $85 an hour. Plowing snow with state work chemical tanks etc they get I believe $240. Seems winter would be a lot better. I'm looking for ways to purchase a expensive Concrete Boom truck to replace my old one and plow with a 1 ton $102 a hour and my backhoe at $112 hr.
Great info! I have been working as a dispatcher for 3 yrs for a small company. Started my own business, got MC, DOT and all necessary certs. Looking for a “good” driver. Have make family members in the business but as a female, got a lot of push back from them about being a female in the business. Have a background in small business. I am about to purchase my first truck in a few months. Thanks for info you give here.👍🏾
Gist of the video. Don't pay too much salary, don't keep employees who work badly, repair your truck when it breaks, put fuel in tanks when they get empty. Very useful video.
Great job explaining your business Justin. Very interesting. You are a very ambitious young man. Gives me hope for the country’s future. Keep plugging.
Kudos to you Junkie, Nothing better than coming up through the ranks to earn your reputation, the way you have done. Lots of lessons for everyone in your advice both from a business point of view as well as a life point of view. Wanna get anywhere in life, make it your own and work your bollocks off, reaping the rewards comes much later. I would just add that its crucial to remind yourself every single day, why your doing it, "What ever it is", for that person. If the answer is not the same one as it was when you started out, its time for a change in your employment. Fuck the haters fella, Their only jeleous because you have a better ethic than they do. Great video Junkie, Keep them coming and keep it real.
Great video and it really shows how much you have to put in to be successful. I agree with you and anything I do I put in 110% as I want to get the job done properly and I hate doing a half finish job as it just pisses me off big time.
I agree with the micro managing, employ people you can trust, let them work hard and make the money and leave them alone they'll be happy, my company was like that, happy to give you lunch or a few beers here and there and leave us alone, we'd work hard make the cash and enjoy our fucking lives. Now they're on our asses all the time and don't give anyone anything back, the money's not coming in anymore and everyone is complaining and unhappy! I like your attitude Justin, if ain't broke don't fucking fix it!
Hey Junkie i enjoy your channel but sometimes you talk a lot of crap. BUT some good advice in you video ,and all that said you seem an alright Junkie. Keep in rollin Junkie . Hey Junkie , i gotta fekin go.
My dad and I just opened our own trucking company and this info is very useful. Ive learned alot about the trucking business in less than a month. I went from fixing ac units for 3 years, taking orders and hearing my boss bitch to working from home dispatching keeping up with expenses annual income and negotiating rates. I do need help with creating a truck driver contract. How or what does a truck driver contract consist of?
When you only had 1 truck did you run your business as a sole proprietor? Now that you have multiple trucks I would imagine you’d structure your business as an LLC and C-Corp model correct? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks brother how did you learn about overhauling an engine or doing an head gasket job? I totally agree with ur rules andthe pitfalls In trucking lots of respect from. The SF Bay area
Great vid but I have to ask,have you ever thought about making the repairs and maint aspect a separate entity?There has to be a point where being able to bill one company for stuff would be a tax benefit wouldn't it?Although I'll understand if you'd rather not answer this. I myself agree with you on most everything although right now i'm trying to put as much in place before I make the jump via sweat equity and busted knuckles lol.Hence why i asked about building up a dump.There's actually a wreck in a friends tow yard that I'm trying to get now,but we'll see.It's essentially just a decent bed since everything else is toast.But it's a start that I can work on while working my current job. I wish more owners would listen about not trying to micro manage (good)drivers.I recently returned to a company i used to tow for and that was part of the deal and for once it's been great for both of us.I see him maybe once every 2 weeks or so to drop money and receipts and thats it.
So Justin what happens if the construction stops like in 07. I don't see a plan to make all those financial commitments without a study flow of income . I watched a lot of dirt haulers and construction company's go under the last time. I would rather own my old junk out right and pay for the repairs , than have my fleet all under financial contract.that balance sheet looks good accept that it is not calculated for a construction market slow down.
I like your concept towards your people sir and i like your hustle sir towards making value to the market. I hope this might help you sir. Im also a business owner sir selling construction materials. My number 1 enemy are customers and my number 2 is government. They will suck everything from us and they don’t even fucking care about us just to have their own benefits. They will pressure us and want free services or haggling everything to a point where our profit will be as close to our cost. They will just lie to us and make us like their pet. That’s why i don’t care about customers cause i know the plans to make them buy to us. I appreciate the new knowledge i get from you sir. Thanks for the help. I really do appreciate sir.
I'm thinking of buying my own dump truck. Called the asphalt place around here. For quads they pay 3.00 a ton in town stuff and stuff far away is around 6.50 a ton. And quad axle hourly is 65/hr. Even if I run the truck myself I don't see how I could profit off of it. I just wanna be my own boss but never ran my own business let alone bought a truck. Been running one for a while it scares the shit out of me
Good brother .. U r FUCKIN AMAZIN ... Bro i totally got great info from this . i love how u speak from the bare bones of the business... Im a driver looking for my 1st truck ... So much great info .. Thanks for taking ur time to enlighten us ... A1... Ur awsome
Dead on with the driver characteristics. Every company I've driven for there's a guy that dont wanna work. Always broke. But always has somthing to do when there is work.
I work for a asphalt company driving there dump trucks in OKC been there for 5 months now learning everything I can about the business.Saving all the money I can to buy a dump truck of my own so I can be a Lease driver for that company or whoever pays good.would like to get a truck that hauls 20 tunes or more what do you recommend.so far everything you said on this video is been on point thanks
I started out hauling chicken litter and ag lime some dirty shitty work it was extremely steady work 5 to 6 days at a time then nothing for 2 to 3 weeks but it paid very well and it was a start one of the ranchers that I happened to haul for owned a ready mix concrete company and he ended up giving me work 5 days a week hauling sand and gravel to him I now have 2 trucks of my own that I run gravel 5 days for the concrete plant with and I still haul the chicken litter and lime when it comes up I also bought a lowboy that I move a few peoples tractors and dozers around with I do pretty well if it will go in the end dump or on the lowboy I will haul it
I had a dump truck. Sold it and started septic tank pumping. Profits are much bigger. If i truck aint making atleast 1,000 a day. And a day is 8hrs. Anything less is not worth a fuck

Great video, Junkie. You're clearly a driven, hard working man with a plan.

I enjoy watching your videos Junkie, keep up the good work!
the very best JST video to date...noted
When you only had 1 truck did you run your business as a sole proprietor?
Now that you have multiple trucks I would imagine you’d structure your business as an LLC and C-Corp model correct?

Shit man I’ve got pages upon pages of item numbers for tools. Tons of graph paper blue prints of my own little shop. I’m 23. I’ll keep dreaming! Lol.
Never plan to drive a truck but great info.
Great Video, all people starting a service business should check this out.
Thanks brother how did you learn about overhauling an engine or doing an head gasket job? I totally agree with ur rules andthe pitfalls In trucking lots of respect from. The SF Bay area

Good vid junkie, intresting to watch, bit different!

Do you do clean truck bonuses or is keeping a clean truck expected of your crew? Would a lift gate be a good start rather than a swing?
I'm thinking of buying my own dump truck. Called the asphalt place around here. For quads they pay 3.00 a ton in town stuff and stuff far away is around 6.50 a ton. And quad axle hourly is 65/hr.
