Really great video, I’m not a truck driver but I want to buy my own truck and lease it. To be honest I don’t know where to start. Should I look for driver first before starting leasing the truck or the leasing company will provide me one as well! What would be the option in my favor please need advice and help.
Great video my bro thanx so much. I'm an owner operator been for 4 years now and my experience is and has been leasing on with companies big and small. My thing is you really sometimes have to be wise about some of these companies cause they will hit you with all these fees and if fess are too much, then 20 to 30 percent of ya revenue will go to fee before you see anything. Trust me because these companies know that trucks bring in money so they want to keep you working verses you having flexible and freedom as an lease on Owner operator. Some companies are bad about that. And then there are small companies basically mom and pops where there is basically force dispatch. They tell you it's not when really it is cause they have no one else but their few trucks to run their Frieght because they have to please the costumer. I was with a small mom and pops and I must say I mad good money but was just feed up with running so much and office personal getting upset when wanting to take off or refuse loads at times. Got so bad where my agent/dispatch felt like I was thier company driver with my own truck lol. So 3rd time we fell out so that's why I'm no longer there. Lol And then you have to worry about leasing on with companies that has their own company trucks but lease on Owner operator too. Now thing with this is, I don't know about all but company I was with basically had owner operators clean up what company trucks didn't or gave owner ops runs or broker runs just to try and gain customers. So I done seen quite a bit as a lease on. Also I would like to say to anyone reading this, if leasing on with companies find out if they have direct frieght from costumer's or brokers because that's the highest paying Frieght most of the time. Broker Frieght or random Frieght sometimes is too cheap expecially if they getting their cut off top so yeas..... And I want to get my own authority but just kind of risky with rates being low and wanting to stay closer to home but going to take it day by day too see what happens in this economy. But well wishes to ya my brother thanks again....👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just want to say I appreciate everything you said and all of your feedback about your experience with leasing on…I know a little something about leasing on from what I heard from a few friends who has done it and they said everything that you just said…so you are definitely speaking the truth…I would just say if you want to get your own authority just have some money put up for these slow times like this but the rate’s definitely are trash right now
Definitely appreciate what you said sound like to me you lease your truck in the beginning save the money make and then go out on your own and get your own Authority.
I hear Landstar is the best company to lease on to with all the discounts they have w maintenance tire accounts and also they let you book your own loads from the board and you actually can call the brokers with the loads to get loads that’ isn’t on the board yet once you build a relationship with them and you see what they are all paying so you dispatch yourself
Very well put forth and educational. I would to add one little 2c. Instead of a certain set rate per mile on every load from a mega carrier, most of your smaller companies will do some type of % such as....75...80%...whilest it may he 85 to even as high as 88 or 90% at other places. However...do not be fooled by 90% vs 80% whereas the one with the higher percentage may only have 2 or 2.25 freight/ whilest at the same time the one company with the lower 80% might have 3 dollar. 3.50 or 3.75 type freight....so in that case sometimes 75 or 80% might work out to be more than 88-90% over here. It can be confusing.
Definitely appreciate you…that’s the reason I made this channel for…so I could help the next person out because I didn’t have anybody to teach me the step by step process in this industry
Great video I’ve been looking for something like this where it explains exactly what you would need to be compliant on the road. I just wish you would discuss everything you needed and the renewal process yearly quarterly like the 2290, State permits Like even if the companies taken care of it this is what is required regardless. Medical card truck inspection. Companies safety responsibilities will need to be changed on a cab Card . I don’t know if I don’t can’t find it but there is no single place that explains all requirements
I owned my own truck but I leased on through American Eagle and that was the absolute worst mistake of my career. I’ll never forget my first week running I made her 5 grand. Once AE took out whatever the Fxxk fees for equipment and a bunch of other Bs I walked away with $748.
bro can you answer this question for me i dont have a cdl or driveing experience i dont want to drive truck my plan to rent truck from penske or ryder and going and hireing a driver need some advice on how to get this started
Sure i can pull your load!!! After I deliver it i will tell you how much you owe me, We take cash or Card............. It is no different than when you take a Taxi Cab, the driver drops you off then tells you how much you owe, then you PAY HIM.
Good video! I think I’m going to start off leasing on to a carrier (Land star) to see how everything works and if I plan on starting my own authority I will do so thanks for the solid information
Great video!!I think if you run your own authority, you may not get paid for 30/60/90 days depending on who you work with. I think that’s an important factor.
I want my own authority. I have mostly everything done except the MC/DOT because I don’t want to be stuck paying the high insurance premium without anyone under my authority, any suggestions? Once I get the MC/DOT, I will have to get insurance within 3 mos, so I will need to have someone under my authority. I’m not wanting to drive anymore, just manage.
When Leasing to a smaller company, How would the paying work? for example, a smaller company charges you 10% for using their authority. Do they get paid then they take their cut? Or Do you get paid and you cut them the 10%? And how would they know how much you made if they aren’t booking your loads?
Thanks for a good information. Question i work under another authority but i recently get my plate and registration , so now i have 2 registration what should i do?
Okay so I have a 2022 Mercedes high celling sprinter van. Can I lease my van to a company without driving it myself? If so where can I start? Is it a good idea? Please answer.
Yo bro is it possible to start any of this with barley any driving experience? Will the smaller companies trip about it? I got my CDL in 2021 early October. Only experience I have is CDL school, went driving once in a dump truck and passed a driving test for Sysco but had to decline the job due to family issues. With how expensive it is to live in Colorado, I guess having your own business is the only way to get by and save some money. I currently work as a carpenter by contract work, been self employed since high school graduation in 2016 and I’m 24 years old. I’m so used to working for myself that I find it difficult to ever go work for some company by an low hourly rate. What’s your opinion?
Reapply at Sysco. Backing a 24' trailer is good practice before you jump into a 53' and city driving is something you'll definitely be happy you got practice in.
If I lease on with a small company who controls the money ? Do I pay him end of the week or month or do he pays me and deduct the 10% ? I prefer paying my own insurance so my authority can age to 6 months
Watching TH-cam or just asking questions to different truckers but not everybody tells you the honest truth but the only way I learned was to just jump in head first and learn as you go…you will learn quick which areas to go to and which areas to never go back too
Thank you, Just the information what I looking for. I bougth a truck, I wanna lease to a company, I can´t be the driver, could you recommend some big companies? if know any company that provide the dirve would be great or where could I find a driver. thanks!
Very informative! I have a question regarding my authority. I have a us dot, mc and ca numbers but i am leased on to a mega company using their tags. I only had to get bobtail insurance. Now my question is should i deactivate my US Dot and Mc or just let it sit?
If you have had your CDL license for less than 2 years you're looking at 19000 to 30000 a year for insurance Don't be scared tho because it will pay for itself
I own a truck and I have my authority started but I'm scared that I won't make the money back fast enough for maintenance whereabouts . What advice do you have for that .
Did you pay cash for your truck or finance? If you don't mind me asking. I'm trying to save for a cash truck but I might have to go ahead and finance it.
Yes it’s definitely possible but it will definitely be a tough task because a lot of brokers won’t work with you until your at least 90 days in your authority
@Andrew if you Lease onto you're Buddy's MC who has been established for more than 90 days then that will work too. Do that for 6 - 9 months then leave...
Sup man I was just looking at some trucks today and went to get a insurance quote from biberk and they wroted me for 4600 a month I wonder tell I do something wrong?
@@thelifeofmerckid no they never told me why it was over the phone call. Progressive told me since I’m in California they can’t give me a quote with out having my dot for 1 year.
Sure, you can buy a truck and hire a contract driver. Alot of guys start out with a couple trucks, soon you have a fleet. You don't need a license to buy any kind of vehicle. You can fly any company flag and book through them, however you wouldn't be able to lease from a company, as in a company truck as a non driver, like swift.
Man this was helpful for me very helpful ❤ but I do need to ask , I just brought 2 semi trucks and I have 10000 to invest , I’m looking to hire 2 ppl but don’t know where to start or where to invest all that money into ? I just need more advice on what to do and how much money do I invest in a major company ? Don’t really have men in my family so I’m trying my best to figure all this stuff out on my own
Are you looking to start your own authority or you want to lease the trucks onto a company? And also what type of equipment do you want to haul…you could haul dry vans…refeers…flat beds…tankers…it’s all different things you could jump into
Hi, I wanted to know… being leased on to a company, could you do outside loads ? Meaning if you see a post on Facebook or something and you have your own truck are you able to handle the load still ? Or do I need to get my own dot number as well to be able to do that ? I hope you understand what I’m trying to say
@@thelifeofmerckid correct me if I'm wrong, but you can get an agreement between someone like you or other MC that's NOT a Small Company or Major MC to run ANYWHERE, w/ANYONE, ANYTIME?!? The only reason Companies don't "let you run" elsewhere is because they have a vested interest only in their assigned Freight. Whereas you only "care" about atleast getting your percentage for Insurance and possibly Dispatching cut...
Thanks for the video. Very nice 👌. Quick question: can an investor with a truck lease on to a carrier without necessarily being the driver? Will the carrier provide the driver?
Definitely appreciate you 💪🏾💯 and the answers to your questions are yes and no…you can buy a truck and lease it onto a company without you being the actual driver but you would have to provide your own driver
It’s just how the industry is going right now…there are some good paying loads out there but they don’t come everyday…and also some big time companies are winning because they have contracts but if your like me…one truck and trying to find a load on the load board everyday…it’s tough because most brokers want to work with people who have several trucks instead of calling a how bunch of people who only have 1 truck…it’s easier for them to get there loads covered
I have a question? I just failed my pre employment today. If I wanted to become a owner operator lease on do they still check my clearing house? Will it be hard for me to lease on as a new driver? What would you recommend? Thank you in advance
Yes they will still check your clearinghouse and it all depends on it being hard to lease on as a new driver because some places have different requirements…only thing you can do is just be straight up front with them and tell them about it

BRUH!! Thanks for putting this out there! Time to “Level Up”!
If you buy your own truck do you have to do either of those. Can I just work for myself and check the load board for different brokers or companies?
Great video!!I think if you run your own authority, you may not get paid for 30/60/90 days depending on who you work with. I think that’s an important factor.
You just got to make sure you either have a factoring company or use quick pay but I believe only the major companies use quick pay
@@thelifeofmerckid . Ah ok. Thanks, didn’t know that. Im just in CDL school now so still learning. Thanks bro.
We get paid same day and pay factoring company 1-5 percent. Never ever choose to get paid that long you have expenses.
Thanks for this knowledge bro
Never a problem bro 💪🏾💯
Thank you brodie
No problem
can you do any self dispatching when using the lease on option?

How do you know which companies on the load board will work with you if you only have $75000 insurance?
You won’t know until you call them and try to book a load with them

Question i work under another authority but i recently get my plate and registration , so now i have 2 registration what should i do?
What brokers will take on new authorities I’m in Baltimore with a day cab by the way
Okay so I have a 2022 Mercedes high celling sprinter van. Can I lease my van to a company without driving it myself? If so where can I start? Is it a good idea? Please answer.
Can I keep my MC# and keep it active AND still lease on with a company ? MC# is new
Yes as long as you keep paying your authority insurance then that will keep you MC number active
Same question I had in my head for 6 months. Great video btw!

So what’s the benefit of leasing on to a smaller company?
Sometimes the small companies are the best companies
How much are the tags??
I'm in the middle of what is the best thing to do start my authority or lease a truck.
All depends on the terms of leasing a truck
What terms should you look for when leasing?
If I lease on with a small company who controls the money ? Do I pay him end of the week or month or do he pays me and deduct the 10% ? I prefer paying my own insurance so my authority can age to 6 months
Most likely they will pay you and deduct there percentage
how do i learn what lanes paying what
Watching TH-cam or just asking questions to different truckers but not everybody tells you the honest truth but the only way I learned was to just jump in head first and learn as you go…you will learn quick which areas to go to and which areas to never go back too
Is it a good idea to just start off with leasing to a company just to get some cash flowing then switch to your own authority?
Yes definitely…that’s what I would do
Great info
Appreciate you bro 💪🏾💯
You gotta be from baltimore
Thank you, Just the information what I looking for. I bougth a truck, I wanna lease to a company, I can´t be the driver, could you recommend some big companies? if know any company that provide the dirve would be great or where could I find a driver. thanks!
