Cuddy im from STOCKTON CA im Mexican and 28 years old I just got out of prison and I HONESTLY FEEL LIKE YOUR VIDEOS HELPED figure some things that I been wanting to do. The way you articulate yourself you come off as genuine bro and I am picking up what your putting down. Keep it up!!👍💯💯💯💯
What I do is combine ltl loads that are going roughly the same direction. • Most owner operators only like doing one load per run. I put multiply stops from different customers on my truck. Great channel!
I wish my dad could’ve watched this 15 years ago. Nobody has a clue about the sh*t sandwich truckers have to eat daily from log books, chicken coops, State Pigs, making deadlines, trying to get home for as long as you can etc. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and hopefully making someone’s life easier.
Jared Ackerman my dad is a trucker, my parents are divorced I can’t ever see my dad only until weekends every 2weeks and it’s sad And he can’t just go buy frozen food or spend a lot on McDonald’s etc He just eat canned fruits surviving
Joseph Mason it’s one thing to hear someone bitch, I do it all the time, but it’s another thing to actually have a legit gripe. I’m not here to be a keyboard commando and change your mind I’m simply staring my experience I had driving with my dad in the summer. Everyone think you just get in a truck and drive, easy day right? Nay. Log books, tandem weight, weigh scales that have different regulations in each state, being away from home for weeks on end, sitting for days on end waiting for a return load and not getting paid, the list can go on and on. I used to talk shit about airline pilots making us sit for hours on a plane to wait out a storm. Must be nice to sit on your ass and get paid right? Pilots are just like truckers. They sit in a tarmac and don’t get paid until the wheels leave the runway. If the delay is too long and interferes with their FAA regulated sleep schedule they don’t get paid for an entire day. I learned this from a Delta pilot who was quitting to take a “pay cut” to fly private charter planes. He was making almost equal if not more with private clients since he wasn’t hamstrung by company policy and FAA commercial regulations. In a nutshell I’ve been wrong more than I’ve been right but I learned that that stupid cliche “walk a mile in a mans shoes” is a necessity before I can judge.
With due respect, if your first load starts at noon by the time your drive to delivery and come back to your second pick up 250 miles passed( around 5 hrs considering traffic) plus drop and hock 30 minutes each will bring you to 6 hours gone, now its 6pm ready for the second load
Those loads are rare. U mainly need to have a broker settings u up. That's why communication with brokers is good for business. Never be afraid to talk and ask for more. Brokers want reliable drivers
Silver 831cali yea but at the end of the day I don’t think any broker is gonna continue handing out money when someone else will do same job for less. Good relationship is very important but then again it’s a money business.
@@otrookie if you have good relationship and been a reliable. A broker won't risk it. They still have other loads to worry about. My exboss would call brokers every day and often would go for the best rate without really talking. That's not the best way to make money in the long run.
A route and negotiate the price. A broker ain't always going look for who will do for less. They have plenty of loads to worry about. But you do have to be reliable
I really feel like you’re a blessing from God to me and I’m sure everyone else that is learning from you. I’ve been watching you non-stop the past few days. I’m in the process of getting my Trucking Business started and I’ve just about started watching your channel and following your advice EXCLUSIVELY. I have decided that I will be using your consultation services to guide me as I get started. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Thanks for sharing brother. I tell people that are interested in becoming a driver that there are many variables in trucking; it's not a "one truck fits all". I'm still new to the industry but I see a lot of drivers that have been in for a while are stuck in their thinking and will not adopt other concepts. Great video!
Screw the idiots, I’m glad you are doing it local. I’m happy your keeping the info to yourself. Everyone wants to steal your hard work instead of doing it themselves
Hey bossman...im glad i ran across your channel. Youre 1 of the rare guys that actually want to help guys out as opposed to chasing monetization and posting psuedo-help videos that are really just infomercials in disguise. Best of luck going forward. You deserve success
Great Information. Can you please make a video on how you got started in trucking and who put you on to the game. Also, make a video about where you plan on being in the next 5 years and growing your business. Maybe you already have these videos, I’m going to go check. BRB...
CreateYourLife you need to go watch videos on how to begin trucking. These videos are for guys that have been doing the company thing and are about to head out on their own with their own truck and make big money. This is not the material for the new man on the scene
Hey David, Thanks for another great video. I don't own my own truck yet, but the guy I work for has an open mind and is all about uplifting our people. So I am definitely sharing your videos with him...
Yo bro i appreciate your channel so much. Out of many videos ive watched these might be the most straight to the point and easy to comprehend. Just want to say that im a complete beginner and was wondering if you can make a video of the trucking industry for first timers that want to get into the business as truck owners. I still dont know where to 1. Properl search for trucks. 2. Where to find a broker. 3. What permits/licenses i need as just a truck owner and where to buy them and what purpose they serve etc. Ive been watching alot of videos but still need clarity on a few things. Wondering if you could be the man to shed light on these things. Anyway i appreciate what you do and the knowledge youre dropping. Peace !
Divine Strength i think the approach for most videos on TH-cam is more for people already somewhat familiar with the industry. But what about those starting from zero? Thats where im at.
@@3rdeyesolace and he's covered all of that....Like everything bro!!! I've been searching the internet looking for someone like this for a very long time. I promise you if you go back to his early material...he covers all of that!!! I promise you bro!!!
Love how you communicate with your community on your page! As a new driver 8wks in, my suggestion is: have a pleasant demeanor, smile and engage with as many people as you can (you'll know is open for a chat) and ask questions. Trucker's can be a little rough around the edges but hard working gals/guys and salt of the earth people that want to help :)
Very informative for anyone watching your channels. You definitely helped me out a bunch. You are real genuine with integrity, honesty, an truth thanks for all your videos.
Thank you for this info. I'm testing for my CDL in about a month and I definitely want to move beyond driving into being an owner. This was helpful. Rock on
Hello David, I hope you are doing well, Thank you for very useful information you give us. I am interesting in truck business, so if possible I want to discuss with you more about it! Find below my email address or you can suggest other contact ways that comfortable you. Thank you for your consideration, I am waiting for your response. Cheers, Mohammed Ahmed Email: ahmedcapo59@gmail.com
I followed your plan, I live in Tallahassee, I only go to GA, AL, Sc, MS, NC some times TN and LA I’m home every damn day still avg 1900-2500 per day per truck (2) If they still not hip to this in 7/12/22
Eric Pressley the DOT exemption is actually 100 air miles and as long as your work day doesn't exceed 12 hours you don't have to log. 150 miles is for non CDL drivers. And for both you have to start and end your day in the same location every day.
All good information brother, haters gonna hate. Don't get bogged down. Keep up the good work. You specifically describe your experience and clearly mentioned many times over that other people's experiences might be different.
this would work if you take these load directly from the customer avoiding the brokers, is where the real money is. But need to have negotiation skills. Customers are more sensitive with lenguages and manners, Is where dispatchers fit.
Paul Reyes there are plenty of articulate drivers who are excellent communicators. Many drivers can act in a professional capacity. Don’t make us all out to be knuckle dragging apes
David, I’m enjoying your videos very much! I’m in a spot where I’m tired of breaking my back to benefit my employer and I’m considering buying a truck and getting into the business and your videos have been incredibly insightful
David, you're doing a really great job here; and the points made in re: analytical and creative thinking...spot on and priceless! I'm absolutely a new fan that'll be in touch.
One of my high school buddies who has a tractor and trailer and a few of us in our investing group are preparing to start our first run in the next month with our first truck. Im tuned in to all Your videos to make sure this venture is a success
Hey My truckin buddy, dont let the haters get you down. Trucking is so big it is impossible to know every type of loads we pull. Great Video keep up the good work my friend.
I love your videos! They are very helpful. I have had my CDL since 1992. Looking to start my own company soon so I appreciate all the goodies. Thanks for all the info and details. I am a subscriber!
I watch a lot of different channels on trucking and this was a vid putting everyone on game because of this one I subscribed to your channel and plan on watching all your vids to help me further my vision for starting my own trucking company
Yes I agree with you. A friend of mine does the same thing with his trucks and there are 2 drivers , 12 hours shift who are hauling 4 local loads in 24 hours with hooking and unhooking the trailer loads.
What’s up Dave, I been doing research on investing on a truck for OTR and was really nervous but after watching your videos I feel more confident on making that investment, keep up the good work on voicing reality vs fiction.
I did have a question if you had time to respond. I know you said in previous videos about having No middle men in the trucking business to capitalize on profit. But would you consider it being smart and also profitable ? as a beginner investor who solely wants to just own and not drive to join under someones authority first to take care of the dispatch for a percentage between 10-15% dryvan otr and having the insurance being cheaper as oppose to the big out pocket cost to being under my own authority and finding my own work. Just trying to see if I can truly just invest and have someone else keep the truck busy and dispatch while all I do is take care of the overhead and the driver, is this an ideal way to profit?
If you can, buy a truck and stay local. If you have intermodal near by or some type of flatbed work. Stay local. Look for a truck no more than 20k. Doesnt have to be the nicest. I can go more into detail, feel free to contact me. I'm a driver myself.
@@itsmiguell I'm more fond of the cummins isx, which I actually have right now. The n14 cummins is a great motor, hard to find in trucks since it was before the isx. Detroit engines, more of so the 60series is awsome. Both of those are the least expensive, with parts and easy to get a mechanic to work on. I wont touch any truck with the new def regulations in which they cause more harm to engines in the long run. So anything under 2008 you should be good. Cat motors are good, very powerful, but expensive not only for parts but working on them too.
I just got my CDL, with hazmat, tanker ect. I am looking at different options to make money without going OTR, I appreciate you giving me food for thought. Thanks
It's can be done with live loading and unloading as well. The company I work for slip seat ten 80footer auto carrier trucks which average about $2,800-$5,000 daily (to the driver average 25%-29% of load) to the truck before the deduction cost of operation.
Thank you for your content! Very helpful and encouraging! I'm a new company with 1 truck and no trailer. I'm in the Dallas tx area and it is a struggle out here. I'm determined to grow though!
Its possible to do with more than 1 driver. I think that's common sense. So does the 2nd driver get screwed out of pay while driver #1 gets 2 runs? How does that part workout? Do you pay hourly? Do you keep drivers busy or high turn over rate because you don't have enough work in a day for each driver?
Eric Santiago , I take it you feel this is insufficient info to start a business? I saw a few of his videos where he pretty much spells it out how to start a business of this type. You may have a different perspective I’m guessing. What information is missing in your opinion?
Great information brother I just described to you not too long I'm going back and watching all your videos from day one, you have very helpful information I'm trying to move forward in the trucking industry and you're answering a lot of my questions
@@itzkobbo3865 First of all you have no idea who is getting rich from this information. Secondly no one gets rich in this industry unless you're a really large carrier who can scale the business up over a number of profitable years. Two thirds of the money made goes right back into running the business and even more if you're a lousy business owner. Third, if you're going to waste your time sending me idiotic comments at least get your facts and grammar right. Otherwise you're making your own ass look pretty stupid.
Man I've already watched maybe 10 of your videos back to back and I can't stop watching! you explain everything so simple. Keep posting bro! appreciate everything!
waooww i dont even make that here in miami 5 days a week doing local containers 😕 ....only guys i know that make that much in 6-7 days of work is 2 of my buddys at fec and 2 other guys that do ltl for averrit express..... thats alot of miles in one day so i believe it if its before fuel/expensives, but in 5 years here local n some short roads to orlando tampa n jacksonville...Only guys I've ran across that actually share that info of making some big money are some car haulers that do about 500-600miles a day, but dam yea Props to you 👍
Thanks man. I’m finishing up an MBA and was about to start med school, but I think I’m gonna work on starting a trucking business so I don’t be struggling in med school. Doing my CDL training in a few weeks!
Med school is debt but when your done with residency you’ll be making good money and will always have a job. Also there are many loan forgiveness options out there. D Carter that is the most stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Like if he goes into trucking you think owning a truck isn’t expensive ? You think you won’t get into debt in this business ? You’re sadly mistaken. Don’t ever discourage someone from getting an education especially anything medical related
@@lou9641 I’m doing both. But the difference is business debt vs consumer debt. Business debt is leveraged and businesses only fail because of a lack of liquidity, not debt. Trucking is only a component of my vision.
@@savagemedic30 hey do you bro. I was actually commenting to D Carter because he was discouraging going to med school. Do what you have to but being a physician is a life commitment as long as youre in it. Very hard to manage a company outside of that. I’d think hard and strong before jumping in. My brother is a owner op, just got his own authority. I am a PA working full time in emergency medicine now. I am hopping in the business as well with my brother but this shit isn’t easy at all. Both careers are very time consuming.
I left a message there is more information I would like to give you on what I thought would have helped this other company from losing money on break down and tows etc, if you want you can email me sometime at shaunarodriguez81@gmail.com . I just like to give you some things from my perspective of doing this slip seating work that can maybe help you out 😉

@@amels4620 The drivers are doing a regular days work, home every night/day, and David is running his business, maintaining established lanes. So who exactly is killing themselves? I'm going to guess you didn't watch the whole video, to realize there are TWO drivers splitting those loads. I've worked longer, harder hours without being anywhere near trucking.
Great narration David. The drop and hook illustration is a music to my ear. Am in the process of obtaining my Fed authority which will be activated in few days from now. Wishing to be lucky to get a dedicated freight. Thanks for the video
That's was great information. I'm a company Driver interested in starting a Trucking business. All the content you put out is really helpful. Thanks Bro
Very good. I personally call profit after all expenses. Labor, tires ,oil,tires ,taxes, everything.then what is a day profit. Engine overhauls, at the end of the day ?
Thanks alot brother I've learned a lot .am from Kenya 🇰🇪 n a a ten wheel truck driver n it's has low salary. I think in America I can make a good money
How can you pick up a load at 12:00 do a 250 miles round trip take 30 minutes doing drop and hook and be back at 4:00 pm for your 2 load. What are you explaining don't match at all.

If you’re running within a 150 mile air radius you don’t need an eld I would maximize that run to my advantage
Isnt that for non-CDL drivers?

But would you consider it being smart and also profitable ? as a beginner investor who solely wants to just own and not drive to join under someones authority first to take care of the dispatch for a percentage between 10-15% dryvan otr and having the insurance being cheaper as oppose to the big out pocket cost to being under my own authority and finding my own work. Just trying to see if I can truly just invest and have someone else keep the truck busy and dispatch while all I do is take care of the overhead and the driver, is this an ideal way to profit?
@@comedianmarley1213 hmm
If you can, buy a truck and stay local. If you have intermodal near by or some type of flatbed work. Stay local. Look for a truck no more than 20k. Doesnt have to be the nicest. I can go more into detail, feel free to contact me. I'm a driver myself.
@@525HP What engine (brand and model) have you known to be one of the more reliable?
@@itsmiguell I'm more fond of the cummins isx, which I actually have right now. The n14 cummins is a great motor, hard to find in trucks since it was before the isx. Detroit engines, more of so the 60series is awsome. Both of those are the least expensive, with parts and easy to get a mechanic to work on. I wont touch any truck with the new def regulations in which they cause more harm to engines in the long run. So anything under 2008 you should be good. Cat motors are good, very powerful, but expensive not only for parts but working on them too.
I just got my CDL, with hazmat, tanker ect. I am looking at different options to make money without going OTR, I appreciate you giving me food for thought.
Thanks
I'm glad I found your UTUBE CHANNEL THANK YOU DAVE !!
It's can be done with live loading and unloading as well. The company I work for slip seat ten 80footer auto carrier trucks which average about $2,800-$5,000 daily (to the driver average 25%-29% of load) to the truck before the deduction cost of operation.
But you did prove your point good content.
Thank you for your content! Very helpful and encouraging! I'm a new company with 1 truck and no trailer. I'm in the Dallas tx area and it is a struggle out here. I'm determined to grow though!
U had to add “legally “ 😂😂😂
You make valid points. Do you have any suggestions for Hotshot truckers
Thanks David for the info
Its possible to do with more than 1 driver. I think that's common sense. So does the 2nd driver get screwed out of pay while driver #1 gets 2 runs? How does that part workout? Do you pay hourly? Do you keep drivers busy or high turn over rate because you don't have enough work in a day for each driver?
I wish you can help me start a trucking business in a day cab
Eric Santiago , I take it you feel this is insufficient info to start a business? I saw a few of his videos where he pretty much spells it out how to start a business of this type. You may have a different perspective I’m guessing. What information is missing in your opinion?
Great information brother I just described to you not too long I'm going back and watching all your videos from day one, you have very helpful information I'm trying to move forward in the trucking industry and you're answering a lot of my questions
3:30 where he gets to the point.
@@itzkobbo3865 First of all you have no idea who is getting rich from this information. Secondly no one gets rich in this industry unless you're a really large carrier who can scale the business up over a number of profitable years. Two thirds of the money made goes right back into running the business and even more if you're a lousy business owner. Third, if you're going to waste your time sending me idiotic comments at least get your facts and grammar right. Otherwise you're making your own ass look pretty stupid.
Chuck Brown *your not you’re 🥴
@@hunterl5078 Yeah.....what he said. 👍
Man I've already watched maybe 10 of your videos back to back and I can't stop watching! you explain everything so simple. Keep posting bro! appreciate everything!
Watchers vs workers. Now I see who makes the money and who doesn’t.
waooww i dont even make that here in miami 5 days a week doing local containers 😕 ....only guys i know that make that much in 6-7 days of work is 2 of my buddys at fec and 2 other guys that do ltl for averrit express..... thats alot of miles in one day so i believe it if its before fuel/expensives, but in 5 years here local n some short roads to orlando tampa n jacksonville...Only guys I've ran across that actually share that info of making some big money are some car haulers that do about 500-600miles a day, but dam yea Props to you 👍
Thanks man. I’m finishing up an MBA and was about to start med school, but I think I’m gonna work on starting a trucking business so I don’t be struggling in med school. Doing my CDL training in a few weeks!
Med school is debt bro skip that shit
Med school is debt but when your done with residency you’ll be making good money and will always have a job. Also there are many loan forgiveness options out there. D Carter that is the most stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Like if he goes into trucking you think owning a truck isn’t expensive ? You think you won’t get into debt in this business ? You’re sadly mistaken. Don’t ever discourage someone from getting an education especially anything medical related
@@lou9641 I’m doing both. But the difference is business debt vs consumer debt. Business debt is leveraged and businesses only fail because of a lack of liquidity, not debt. Trucking is only a component of my vision.
@@savagemedic30 hey do you bro. I was actually commenting to D Carter because he was discouraging going to med school.
Do what you have to but being a physician is a life commitment as long as youre in it. Very hard to manage a company outside of that. I’d think hard and strong before jumping in.
My brother is a owner op, just got his own authority. I am a PA working full time in emergency medicine now. I am hopping in the business as well with my brother but this shit isn’t easy at all. Both careers are very time consuming.
@@lou9641 oh my bad lol but that’s awesome man. I understand. You can make it work. You guys will figure something out to maximize efficiency.

More great info, thanks
Thank you. I'm new to this industry and I'm learning a lot from your videos.
2200 -300fuel-300/2drivers-220taxes-100maintenance it's still a good 💪$1000 profit you do that 20 days month 20k x 12🤤🤤🤤🤤 oops forgot insurance. Still good money. 200k a year
Who wants to darn near kill themselves. Little to no time to think under your scenario.
A Melek S your not a entrepreneur if you think working 20 days a month is killing yourself.
@@iamOAKland and you seem to be the slave.
i am not killing myself over this job.
and i own my truck- part:na
Your math is horrible....
@@amels4620 The drivers are doing a regular days work, home every night/day, and David is running his business, maintaining established lanes. So who exactly is killing themselves? I'm going to guess you didn't watch the whole video, to realize there are TWO drivers splitting those loads. I've worked longer, harder hours without being anywhere near trucking.
New to the business... I have learnt so much from your videos it’s amazing. I have to say thanks for all the info you share ... g
Thanks as always.

Great narration David. The drop and hook illustration is a music to my ear. Am in the process of obtaining my Fed authority which will be activated in few days from now. Wishing to be lucky to get a dedicated freight. Thanks for the video

That's was great information. I'm a company Driver interested in starting a Trucking business.
All the content you put out is really helpful. Thanks Bro
Good info young man I’m older thinking about starting my trucks soon u learn something every day
David the information your leaving is very helpful, especially since I'm new to the trucking industry with 1 truck and driver.
Where are you fm and how much do you pay your drivers per mile if you can sure?
?2 Do you save any money 💰 one fuel? if you do can you sure.
Very good. I personally call profit after all expenses. Labor, tires ,oil,tires ,taxes, everything.then what is a day profit. Engine overhauls, at the end of the day ?
Congratulations. It sounds like you have a solid business setup. Keep up the good work.
Excellent illustration on drop and hook. I really appreciate for sharing your valuable time and wisdom. Thanks again !!. Mat.
Thanks alot brother I've learned a lot .am from Kenya 🇰🇪 n a a ten wheel truck driver n it's has low salary. I think in America I can make a good money
How can you pick up a load at 12:00 do a 250 miles round trip take 30 minutes doing drop and hook and be back at 4:00 pm for your 2 load. What are you explaining don't match at all.
It’s no set pickup times. That’s just the times the trailers are ready for pickup.
