@Michael P it obviously pertinent information for new guys in trucking. It may also be unobvious to you everyone in trucking not making a thousand dollars a week. Thank You Trucking Brown! For dropping gifts and Jems. Ding! A light just illuminated in my mind. I get it! Thanks. Trucker Brown.....
This dude is smart as hell. He looks at things from many angles. It's people like him with his ability to say ' wait, let me really take a look at this, let me look at this from his [Hermans] angle etc'. He didn't let his pride get in the way of him hearing herman out. Then Trucker Brown did what Herman did for him. Trucker Brown made this video to share this story // technique of how to mid max your potential. Would love to learn from Trucker Brown as my mentor. Be safe bro you have a new subber also =).
I've been watching youtube truckers for 2 years, learning everything I can leading up to orientation next month. This has to be in the top 5 most useful and beneficial videos I've seen. I can't wait to put this knowledge to work. Thanks TB.
Well, just know it's a new age in trucking - you can find many p&d & ltl companies local home every night weekends off jobs paying 20-25 an hour doing approx 50 hrs a week - OTR is cool if you WANT to do it, but is also often for those that simply know no better
2 hours eating n shower then 8 hours lights out then its up n at em. night driving gets u more miles covered then daytime. way less traffic ,construction, accidents, fuel lines shorter, and weight station backups, if you miss ya turn its nothing to turn around and go back.
@@redbluesome2829 ... i worked nights almost 20 years im a bit worried, now cause ive recently learned about daylight and how proper body melatonin production is a big immune builder helps fight cancer that we are all subject too.. but if you are a vampire like me... it can hurt your immunity in the later years, smh we just cant win gotta die somehow huh i guess pick 1 way ...😎 my point is living nights like a vampire can put you at a higher risk of cancer... but hey im not pointing fingers im a vampire too 😒
I’m only a few months in with my driving career. I drove locally, but going OTR next month. Your videos have taught me a lot! Keep up the awesome work and keep the vids coming!
I know its been 5 years but this is a damn good video man. Wow. Appreciate what you do, you drop a lot of nuggets of wisdom that the average trucking channels I've been watching haven't.
Dude!!! I’m a preacher/pastor so you’ll have to excuse me when I say “THIS BLESSED MY ENTIRE LIFE!” I’m getting prepared to go to CDL school and I’ve been absorbing everything I can.... pre-trip training, taking the practice tests for CDL, reading, etc. etc. but this by far has been the BEST, information so far. Keep doing what you’re doing.
True words he’s speaking , when I used to run hard I was getting like 3 pre plan loads ahead of time making 1600 a week net pay . I got lazy and no longer a dispatcher favorite. My miles and paycheck went way down lately but I love taking 14 hour breaks 😂
This is a very motivating video. The lightbulb came on for me while watching... I've become a little bit lazy and I'm not movin' like I should be, like I used to. "Once the ten is up... so am I" was something I used to live by and I'm going to again starting today. Thanks for the illumination!
The new generation of truckers with this shutting down at truck stops instead of going to the consignee. I knew to go to the shipper or consignee when I started driving. I Hate damn truck stops. Don't make money at the truck stop... only spending money. Stop one time at the truck stop to get all you need and keep them wheels moving.
JC Kickzzz what if the shipper or consignee is closed or gated? What if there's nowhere to park? I want to run like a beast but i have all these questions. Lol please help. I've been on the job a week
Steven Garant Most times I know ahead of time if the shipper eceiver allows parking. If not I'll called them and see. Save more money away from truck stops and have better time management on clock sleeping at the shipper. Shower food etc at truck stop and keep it moving
If you drive a pretty truck you don't make shit company cares more a about there equipment then you drive a piece of crap you make money cause now company cares about the loads more than the truck or the driver but if the truck is making money and you rolling and not goofing off then you making money
You're a great story teller bro, this bit of knowledge will really help some newbies out. Whew! I sure am glad I get paid by the load and not the mile. Don't miss dem days!!!
I know this video is 3yrs old but the info is timeless, thanks for dropping that knowledge! Very insightful! I will be sure to keep this in mind when I start trucking!
Your videos have been teaching me so much since I started trucking. I'm approaching the end of my first year and I appreciate the knowledge and the truth you speak on your channel thanks man!!!
I grew up in commercial trucking. But at the age of 44 I am about to embark on a new journey of actually getting to go OTR, YAY!! Thank you so much for your videos. I have been watching all kinds of TH-cam videos, and any helpful hints are very appreciated. Keep the shiny side up, truck driva 😊
I start my CDL school this week , so with that being said I've been trying to prepare my self and studdy and watch videos , this video by far was the most help to me thank you .
I am a new truck driver almost finished with training with the trainer driver trainer and this is actually some very very good information thank you for the video I believe that it will be helpful for my future moneymaking possibilities
It's hard sometimes because some of these companies don't won't there stuff early so I be in the sleeper longer , to wait into appointment, but that's good stuff
That's what I'm trying to understand because if you get there early and you have an appointment you using up your 14 hour which could eventually eat up your 11
Week three with KLLM and I did just like u said TB at a Walmart DC Got there early, let them know I’m waiting patiently n ready when they are. They got to me 30 minutes later “Back into door 308, slide your tandems back n choke your wheels” Thank you TB, with Loshawn Parks, and Red Viking Trucker I hope to bust into the game bringing home a stack a week. As soon as I get off this training pay (runnin 3000+ a week in training) ONE LOVE BIG BRO Thanks for the tips
Y’all new truckers follow this man. He speaking the facts cause I new this on my own early in the game and I’m applying that same strategy being an owner operator and trust and believe people you gonna that type hustle out here. He speaking big facts yall.
Brother, been watching your vids and SOON will be new to what you do...Coming off of a 70k a year job with stress..trying ta live stress free like you and make more than what i make...keep the vids coming plz!!
You have helped a lot of people with this video! To all the excuse makers out there that love all the time off they get trucking, but complain about not making the money they say they were promised... Try this for a couple months then see if you really have a leg to stand on with your excuses! I've been running like this for 3 years now after starting the same way odly enough, with the same companies Trucker Brown tried... It ain no lie folks!
Yo driver I wish I can like dis vid 1,000x cuz all dis shit u talkin dat Herm taught u no lie I've been doin it da same exact way....I always tell da shipper/customer I don't have enuff time in my clock n dey always tell me jus park sumwhere where ur not blockin no1 or in da way....wicked vid driver!!!!👍🏼👌🏼💪🏼💯🎯
Man thank you for this video you helped me out a lot been on the road 2 months now your video showed me how to make the system work for me thanks and I appreciate you
Bro listen ... the story u just told in this video.. this helped me to much .. I’ve been otr for 1week bro listen this is real information people need to kno and here .. but they won’t understand exactly what you mean until there in a truck and working good video my guy and great way to explain maximizing the potential of a pay check great bro just great
Trucker Brown, I think this is my favorite video of yours yet. Great nuggets you just shared with your audience. I've been working in a similar way ever since I got off my trainers truck a couple years ago and I have made over $1000 more weeks than I have made less than 1000. The clock management and time management and working well with the shippers and receivers is so crucial. Not taking long breaks is crucial. My goal has always been run atleasyb 500 miles a day and don't waste clock. No when a company's pay plan and maximizing it.
Bruh, I been listening to this one and all your other joints on time management religiously. I'm one week down in my training, and got a few weeks to go before I go solo. When I do, this is my blueprint for the entire time I drive over the roahd. Awwready.
This is my most respected video from this channel.(not that i dont respect the others) but this vid helps the new guys DIRECTLY put CURRENCY into their pockets. I've been experimenting with my clock just never did the numbers on what those 2 extra hours in the sleeper cost you. I most definitely will be implementing. Thanks fam. Imma have to meet up with you bois one day out here. -- NickTory da Trucker
Trucker brown you are an inspiration to me and I always watch your channel and take your advice because no one out here in ct gives good info thank you keep up the great work
I tell you what, I clear 950 a week. Home every night, no weekends, no holidays. 50 hr bid run. I've been a city driver for 26 years. You OTR guys are very underpaid for all the sacrifices you make in order to get your freight delivered.
Sean O'Rourke Sean, this is kinda what Im thinking. Im just starting cdl school but 1000/wk doesn't sound all that great to me. Once 70hrs is divided into that, forklift drivers make that an hour in many warehouses.
Otr drivers not getting paid for drop and hook, pretrips, gas stops, the 2 hr load and 2 hr unload time, and if you blow out your clock, or dont have enough hrs ro run a certain load,guess what, just sit at a truck stop for next day or two (basically unemployed). I no longer blame trucking companies as much as I see the real people to blame are us, Americans. We want the best salaries and benefits for ourselves , and want to receive goods and services at slave prices if not free. And that's where China comes in. So if Mr Jeff bazos wants to charge 15 bucks for lousy gay eye liner or makeup, he can, because it's his business and he's got to make a profit, but Mr BAZOS OF AMAZONIA will try to find the cheapest truck to haul his garbage. President g w bush tried to build a bridge for Mexican truck fleets to operate freely inside USA. Guess what at rate of 15 cent per mile
Fuck yesssssss! Trucker Brown I was apprehensive about getting into this business but this break down along with your other videos are PHENOMENAL!! I just turned 21 last week. And I've been wanting to travel. LETS MAKE THIS BREAD HOMIE!!
My first check was 1k and I started with a small company. 1st full year of driving I made 72.5k. I learned to RUN. I barely stop unless I need to eat or use the restroom. I work Monday to Friday now 300 mile radius of where I live and I hustle. I average 5500 a month take home now and I'm home every Saturday and Sunday. Make your own opportunity. Where theres a will theres a way. Give God thanks when it's due! Safe driving!
Hey, I appreciate the content of this video. Looking to get into to trucking this December. So, new subscriber and you've provided a lot of insight. Thanks and be safe!
if the receiver dont do on site parking, you can also off duty drive out of there after u get unloaded. but u have to go in the opposite direction of ur next load or any direction IF u dont have a new load. all the time will go to your 10hr break. also ask everyone connected to ur load if theyll take it early.
Keenan Leverette you have to contact your company to change it to off duty driving. so u DO drive over your time, but its okay because it gets edited after. as long as it meets the criterea it can be changed.
Iam84 you would think they would want there shit as soon as possible, it sucks when you get there just to find out you can't unload... hope you enjoyed the pizza and six pack lol.
Yup I stopped pushing like that years ago plus working off the clock is Illegal anyway, if someone hits you or you hit someone else driving around on sleeper and havent started your day yet your fucked if you have a camera in the truck. People doing this shit is why companies wont pay more, why pay more per mile when all the drivers are willing to risk it all for less.
I know I’m two years late on this but … Near the end: “It don’t matter what company you’re at. That’s the way it is.” He’s not talking about trucking companies. He’s talking ANY company, including your own company. Grow up and take charge, learn the system inside and out, be professional, courteous, and kind to people you work with and make real human connections; pay attention to the world around you. You will prosper but more importantly, you’ll be happier because you will be more actively engaged in your world, and the world around you. Shit will still happen to you, but it will happen less, and when it does happen, you’ll deal with it better because it will fit into a context you understand, rather than coming out of the blue.
I don't even have my CDL license I'm not even a trucker but I know this is the best damn trucking advice ever and I'm going to use it cuz yes I am studying for my CDL license, Thanks bruh
I've been watching trucking videos by various TH-camrs for a month or so now. This video contained the most important information I have come across since I started watching.
Have fun. Welding and pipefitters make that in 3 days. Home every night and double time after 40. Not hating, we appreciate all you truckers do. But everyone finds their own path.
The more you drive the more money you get specially when you driving at night. Sleep less and drive more hours. And this guy amazing his video really helpful thank you buddy for your help.
That’s big boy trucking I got my cdl from riding with an owner op and he showed me to run like that. Every week I make 1000 been doing this 5 years now
You remind me of KRS1 when you speak, just have me sitting here thinking and nodding my head smiling " that shit makes sense" keep them coming my man and hope to see you out there sometime
Imma Gophermine i do set ups on a punch press, and same here man.... probably beign a trucker its better than having to deal with other Employees, gossiping and all that crap
@@abrazosnobalazosxd1827 having to deal with other Employees sucks. many of those lazy fucks don't even do a good job and you have to pick up their slack. i used to unload semi when i first started they would take a full day to unload 2 trucks and load 2 trucks then i started unloading them and got both trucks unloaded in 4 hrs and loaded the other 2 trucks in 1 hr. start at 8 am leave by 11-noon everyday. those 9 lazy fucks tried so damn hard to get me fired for almost a yr till i quit due to their BS. they ended up working for only a month after that before the company fired all 9 of them and the boss
I am a welder and LOVE welding but have been thinking about driving for years. On a side note: I am not welding this year and may not as work in the future. Pay is great but its hard on the body and the lungs. My oxygen is 2% lower than it was two years ago. Probably going to weld as a hobby and for friends - nothing more!
opps sent it too soon. I am always watching the truckers and I feel for them stuck on I5 N or S Anyhow, I love driving and I have decided I am done driving kids and making pay which barely helps me get by and I drive a 8+ hour shift which is long for a bus driver. Anyhow, I am setting out to get my Class B and A and I am a sponge soaking this up. You all seem very very supportive of each other for the most part!
Thank you so much TB for the information I’m going to do like you said man run the road run the Road man hopefully one day I can call you and you can teach me how to run the road..god bless you brother
Hustler's never make excuses they just make opportunities. Good video

Its one thing to tell someone how to run, but to be able to explain it as well as you just did, is a great thing.
Wow. The best advice I've ever gotten from a trucking vid.
Big Ol Facts, Once I seen a video you did about sleeping at the shipper and receiver my checks went up. You can't be a slave to the truck stop.
Just got out of Orientation with Melton, waiting on my driver trainer in PA. Peace and thanks for this info
Seems like these ppl r all dead
jmonie02 lmao
still dead
Real runners drive thru the night , shit I get up at midnight and run til noon then sleep , fuck that day time driving shit
Solo Trucker same here 💯
probably easier to find good parking in the middle of the day anyway.
You aren't lying because you can rack up way more miles in 11 hours driving though the nite especially running through metro areas
Night driving is where it's at.

First week solo with Werner dollar general acc maid 1000+ And been making the same consistent pay every week
My friends friend works for the same company and makes about the same. He loves it.
@J Jags What's wrong with $1000+ the first week? I'm sure there are better paying jobs, but maybe this fits his geographical location

I no longer blame trucking companies as much as I see the real people to blame are us, Americans. We want the best salaries and benefits for ourselves , and want to receive goods and services at slave prices if not free. And that's where China comes in.
So if Mr Jeff bazos wants to charge 15 bucks for lousy gay eye liner or makeup, he can, because it's his business and he's got to make a profit, but Mr BAZOS OF AMAZONIA will try to find the cheapest truck to haul his garbage.
President g w bush tried to build a bridge for Mexican truck fleets to operate freely inside USA. Guess what at rate of 15 cent per mile
Sean O'Rourke Hey Sean!!
Which company
Which company do you work for Sean ? Are you still with them ? How is life treating you right now as it’s been a while since an update ✌️👽
a WHOLE 950??? ... geez let me know who you work for so i know to NEVER apply there. if i clear 1300 after taxes that is a BAD week
Fuck yesssssss! Trucker Brown I was apprehensive about getting into this business but this break down along with your other videos are PHENOMENAL!! I just turned 21 last week. And I've been wanting to travel. LETS MAKE THIS BREAD HOMIE!!
Hey Can you do a video about when to get diesel and not to get diesel
My first check was 1k and I started with a small company. 1st full year of driving I made 72.5k. I learned to RUN. I barely stop unless I need to eat or use the restroom. I work Monday to Friday now 300 mile radius of where I live and I hustle. I average 5500 a month take home now and I'm home every Saturday and Sunday. Make your own opportunity. Where theres a will theres a way. Give God thanks when it's due! Safe driving!
Hey, I appreciate the content of this video. Looking to get into to trucking this December. So, new subscriber and you've provided a lot of insight. Thanks and be safe!
Great video TB. Truck hard and safe
if the receiver dont do on site parking, you can also off duty drive out of there after u get unloaded. but u have to go in the opposite direction of ur next load or any direction IF u dont have a new load. all the time will go to your 10hr break. also ask everyone connected to ur load if theyll take it early.
Tricky Trick I believe the Qualcomm reads driving after like 1.5 miles of driving off duty. It automatically goes to the drive line
Keenan Leverette you have to contact your company to change it to off duty driving. so u DO drive over your time, but its okay because it gets edited after. as long as it meets the criterea it can be changed.
Can push it as hard as you want but if a receiver won't take you until a surten time and date then you pushed it for no reason
Danial G exactly. And if you start your clock too early and they won't take u know your killing your 14hr clock waiting
Danial G if don't take it that day and a half early cool you've just knocked a reset, opening a 2200 mile load up
Iam84 you would think they would want there shit as soon as possible, it sucks when you get there just to find out you can't unload... hope you enjoyed the pizza and six pack lol.
Tip Top That's for CERTAIN!! haha
Yup I stopped pushing like that years ago plus working off the clock is Illegal anyway, if someone hits you or you hit someone else driving around on sleeper and havent started your day yet your fucked if you have a camera in the truck. People doing this shit is why companies wont pay more, why pay more per mile when all the drivers are willing to risk it all for less.
I know I’m two years late on this but … Near the end: “It don’t matter what company you’re at. That’s the way it is.” He’s not talking about trucking companies. He’s talking ANY company, including your own company. Grow up and take charge, learn the system inside and out, be professional, courteous, and kind to people you work with and make real human connections; pay attention to the world around you. You will prosper but more importantly, you’ll be happier because you will be more actively engaged in your world, and the world around you. Shit will still happen to you, but it will happen less, and when it does happen, you’ll deal with it better because it will fit into a context you understand, rather than coming out of the blue.
trying to wrap my head around this! not a truck driver yet barely getting my cdl permit but thank you!!
Thanks for the info brother. Haven't hit the road yet but trying to learn what not to do and what to do before I get out there.
Really good information and you laid it out where its easy to understand. Appreciate this video very much.
Dang man. You dropping some knowledge in this video. Salute!!!
amazing video. I will share this with my son. He just applied with a trucking company.
This that throwback TB 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
"I'm leaving that much on the table."
/shows calculator
"4"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video. Learning a lot. Want to know more about proper fuel scheduling.
I do most of this but i also learned something too...love these type of trucker brown vids
I don't even have my CDL license I'm not even a trucker but I know this is the best damn trucking advice ever and I'm going to use it cuz yes I am studying for my CDL license, Thanks bruh
good vid. the mentality i use is to start a stop clock so im actually counting up to when i can start rolling again.
I would love to hit the road with you for a few weeks or a whole month to learn a few things
I've been watching trucking videos by various TH-camrs for a month or so now. This video contained the most important information I have come across since I started watching.
I drive 8.5 hours everyday at 62 mph. Run on recap. Over $1000 every week. Easy as a lot lizard.
So you make $16.66 per hour.
Mark Jacob thats alot with weekly pay for 8 hr days tbh
That's low lol
This was helpful I appreciate for sharing your experiences & strategy!
Have fun. Welding and pipefitters make that in 3 days. Home every night and double time after 40. Not hating, we appreciate all you truckers do. But everyone finds their own path.
The more you drive the more money you get specially when you driving at night. Sleep less and drive more hours. And this guy amazing his video really helpful thank you buddy for your help.
Good info, I'm thinking of getting into truck driving. This helped explain a lot. Thanks
That’s big boy trucking I got my cdl from riding with an owner op and he showed me to run like that. Every week I make 1000 been doing this 5 years now
You remind me of KRS1 when you speak, just have me sitting here thinking and nodding my head smiling " that shit makes sense" keep them coming my man and hope to see you out there sometime
I'm a CNC Machinist, but man I just can't stop thinking about being a trucker.
Imma Gophermine i do set ups on a punch press, and same here man....
probably beign a trucker its better than having to deal with other Employees, gossiping and all that crap
Michoacano Ayala I gotta wait one more year bro and then I'm going for it man.
@@tyronejackson7334
Lmao, I just quit machining. I hate the concrete box
@@abrazosnobalazosxd1827 having to deal with other Employees sucks. many of those lazy fucks don't even do a good job and you have to pick up their slack. i used to unload semi when i first started they would take a full day to unload 2 trucks and load 2 trucks then i started unloading them and got both trucks unloaded in 4 hrs and loaded the other 2 trucks in 1 hr. start at 8 am leave by 11-noon everyday. those 9 lazy fucks tried so damn hard to get me fired for almost a yr till i quit due to their BS. they ended up working for only a month after that before the company fired all 9 of them and the boss
I am a welder and LOVE welding but have been thinking about driving for years. On a side note: I am not welding this year and may not as work in the future. Pay is great but its hard on the body and the lungs. My oxygen is 2% lower than it was two years ago. Probably going to weld as a hobby and for friends - nothing more!
Keep dropping gems bro. Your best video ever. Facts...
You opened my eyes, thank you for the info. This video is golden.
Great video TB, one of the best I've seen!!!!!!!!
opps sent it too soon. I am always watching the truckers and I feel for them stuck on I5 N or S Anyhow, I love driving and I have decided I am done driving kids and making pay which barely helps me get by and I drive a 8+ hour shift which is long for a bus driver. Anyhow, I am setting out to get my Class B and A and I am a sponge soaking this up. You all seem very very supportive of each other for the most part!
Thank you so much TB for the information I’m going to do like you said man run the road run the Road man hopefully one day I can call you and you can teach me how to run the road..god bless you brother
