Your vids are extremely informative and straight to the point. Without all the jibberish and blah blah blah. Just the facts. You don't know how many people you are helping with the info you provide. Keep up the great work! :-)
@Alina-Feicia Avram do you Have any companies you would suggest leasing with. Cowan said I was approved to lease but I haven't been seeing and hearing great things about them.
@@Rogerdis215 leasing your truck to a company is nothing more than a glorified truck driver who gets to pay for your truck plus maintain it without getting the entire freight rate. Your better off to get your own authority yes its harder in the beginning but it will pay much better because you will be the one who decides what a good rate is instead of just getting what that lease company decides what it wants to pay you.
Im not a trucker or starting a trucking business, but thank you! Its wonderful seeing a no bullshit youtube video. Thats a rare thing these days. Now, how about a video how one comes up with the $29,557 or lets just call it 30k dollars. 😎
I have several clients who are starting an Owner Operator Trucking Business. I will definitely refer your TH-cam link to them. I am writing their business plan and this video gives a clear step by step guide for them to use. I appreciate the time you took to provide the information.
This government regulations kill small guys and help big companies for big companies is a tax write off for a small new guy is killer its the same in restaurant business its called corruption big guys pay off crappy government regulators like this BS eld i pulled at las vegas convention center to pickup and I had to wait there 14 hours by the time I loaded i was all out of time so now I have to wait 10 hours before I can leave even known i waited there didn't do much but my time moved as I moved a few yards up every few hours that's all good old crappy government at work
Hi did u get a box truck and where did u get it from? Having issues, Penske said no due to traveling through the country and not having “experience” to my bf.
Great information! My friend just went on his own and doing Very well. This info about the the Startup cost make it easier for me to make a Move to doing my own thing!👍
If you need any help booking loads let me know asap. I dispatch for Box Trucks & Semi. First load is on me then I ask you to work with me for 14 days. If you like my service then we can move forward to a month to month deal. Have a blessed day and keep trucking!
Nice step by step price breakdown. Aspiring o/o’s keep in mind you can buy your truck and “lease on” (run under the operating authority of) an already established carrier. That will lower your start up costs. While leasing on you can save up to become independent if that’s your ultimate goal. Don’t confuse “leasing to” with “leasing FROM” a carrier. Leasing a truck FROM the carrier you run for is like the wolf guarding the sheep. #drivesafe
Thank you for this video! I am almost 15 and I'm exploring business opportunities and opening a trucking company seems very interesting to me. The information you've shared in this video is very useful for knowing how to set up a trucking business!
Geez you guys get everything cheap their .you wouldn't buy a set of steer tyres here in australia for the price of your truck registration (plates) .single trailer truck rego for comercial use is about $8000 tri axle trailers are $1000 fuel has come down a bit to $1.35 a litre here last time I paid insurance for my truck and to pull other people's tankers was $15000 in 2005 I paid $315000 for a new aerodyne kenworth .

Great explanations my dear brother. The expenses to start that truck business is expensive . It takes people who love to run it well. If you as the owner run it you will careful of driving it you will save a lot from it my own thought on this explanations. Nice one sir.
That's really not expensive! Trucks cost way more than that, its probably used. I have a friend who drives and he spent $30000.00 just for the truck and it was well used @ 2,000,000 miles with a warranty to completely overhaul the engine which is about 27,000.00. So believe me this is not much how he's breaking it down with acquisition cost and fees??
Great video, I rented my truck I was a truck operator I made over 700,000 a year also Everything is going up in 2022. Being a truck operator is the way to go. You call the shots and you can stay at the house with when you want
This was most def helpful and very informative. I’m researching to get into the business. I can’t get a CDL so I figured I would own and hire a driver. I’m def subscribing to your videos.
Thanks so much for actually breaking down costs and talking about the early stuff no one sees or talks about. So many people skip all the licensing and insurance costs.
So for all the filings and legal stuff, it came to a little more than $7500. That's the $29,557 less the $20,700 for the truck, the $1,000 for the trailer, the $300 for the GPS, and the $30 for the fire extinguisher. That's not too bad, really. Thank you for your breakdown of the legal stuff and their respective costs.
Good luck bro, I'm eastern European and we all truckers lol. It's hard business but once u get good at it you can do good. I wish you luck and lots of more success.

He's taking the guru approach which I hate because it is misleading people in to thinking its eady industry when that is so far from the truth.

VERY FIRST THING IS A FREE EIN FROM THE IRS. BE SURE TO NAME IT EXACTLY AS YOUR LLC FILING WITH THE STATE. I paid $500 for my LLC in Massachusetts. OOIDA will do the BOC-3 for free every year as long as you're a member. IFTA stickers will vary by state, Mass was cheaper this time at only $8.00. Drug consortium program from OOIDA is about $240 and includes the supervisor training. I'm surprised you were able to lease a trailer being in business for less than two years, most companies won't touch you. Don't forget about NY HUT, New Mexico, KYU, etc......
Is the age of the tractor or trailer ever a factor in being able to book a load with a shipper? For example if the age of the equipment is more than 10 years old we don't want you to move our freight?
It can be but its not always an issue. But if your going to be a leased operator to another trucking outfit then they are sometimes much more picky as to the age of your equipment.

I'd like to know the answer to this question too
Valuable info. Really appreciate it. I am just starting out and this info will help me a long way.
Is the age of the tractor or trailer ever a factor in being able to book a load with a shipper? For example if the age of the equipment is more than 10 years old we don't want you to move our freight?
It can be but its not always an issue. But if your going to be a leased operator to another trucking outfit then they are sometimes much more picky as to the age of your equipment.
You did a great job on the breakdown. As a person with over 10 trucks people need to see these numbers.
Hi. Do you think it's a good time to start a trucking business?
