Man, I see babies in your future. I think that you’re gonna be a family man. I wish you the best and much success!
@@981porsche3 appreciate it 🙏🏽
Congratulations to you.
Best strategy is an exit strategy. Trucking shouldn't be a lifetime job. It's should be seen as a Kickstart to get you to the next step faster. Unlike working at a low wage 9 to 5.
Wish I could have realized that sooner. Almost 20 years out here Trucking and I'm now getting started with a 2 year plan to exit the industry. I commend you for your way of planning.
Thank you! I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Use that 20 years of experience to propel you into a great career or another business venture 👍🏽
@@anthonydterry Thank you. I definitely will. Positive vibes all the way.
Much respect my brother, much respect.
Appreciate that brother
So proud of you son and God said the road would never be easy but He promised to always be with us and that He was. Whatever journey He is about to take you on next embrace it because we only get better by what we go through in life whether it’s good or bad but as always so proud of you and your dedication on striving to become a better “YOU” I prayed so much for you being on that road and I thank God for protecting you. Glad you have peace and I pray for continued peace and much “SUCCESS”
Thank you mom I love you ❤️
It’s just practice for future businesses! Experience, your getting better and smarter!
I got nothing but respect for you 🤝🏻 enjoy your life brother !

I feel you bro I been out here hot shooting since end of last year it ain't easy and the wear and tear it outs on your body is hard But the lessons you learned from putting yourself out there are priceless and will help you in your next venture I contemplate how ling I plan on being out on the road for cause it ain't a forever thing just trying to grown this authority and eventually run it from the home office it takes alot of sacrifice to he successfull not everybody is built for what it takes but you got it big dog!
Yeah bro it’s definitely not easy but i solute you for grinding it out and seeing it through. I’m wishing you best of luck on your journey to getting your authority and being able to run the business from home 🙏🏽💯
My brotha! #Respect as always
Already know 🙏🏽💯
This is one of the realest trucking video I’ve ever seen!! Good luck !
Thank you I truly appreciate that 🙏🏽
Great video . I have found there is so many better ways to make money other than the highly regulated trucking industry .
If your physically healthy starting businesses in any trade like carpentry or grass cutting or anything will net way better cash flow.
Thank you! It’s definitely a multitude of options out to make money out here in business.
Respect my guy 🫡💯💪🏽
Likewise 🫡💯
Can’t wait to see what’s next. ! These videos are very inspirational and informative for those who are in the industry. Lessons were learned 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great job

Awww man! What's up Mr. Terry! Well let me be the first one to say "Congratulations my brotha!🙌🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Job well done on making this video first of all because I can tell it wasn't easy. Also, a big round of round of applause 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 on your journey and where it's bought you so far. No worries because I'm a long time supporter and will continue to watch your content on TH-cam and also rewatch a few of those you encouraged us to follow our dreams. Thank you very much 👊🏾 for the words you spoke and God bless you and your family in whatever assignment He has you on. #stayintouch #positivevibesalways. #entrepreneurspirit

I appreciate that bro for sure 💯 I’m following yo journey too. I see you already crushing it in Turo I love to see it bro 💯
Good luck on your new journey brother. You taught me a lot. Thank you
Appreciate it bro
I just started 2 months ago and there’s always something coming up cutting into profits going back to semi driving asap most these hot shot TH-camrs hype up numbers and leave out expenses and the fact that your sleeping in a pick up truck all week
keep pushing bro! you'll have a break through soon
What's crazy is everything you're saying as to why you left is the same reason I left the industry. However I wasn't HotShot, I worked for someone for the last 11 years as a CDL driver. Great money, home every day but I told myself I'd rather be my own boss and do HotShot driving. Yet here you are saying these are the same exact reasons why you left HotShot driving, the same exact reasons why I left driving for someone as a CDL driver. I guess the point I am trying to make is I'm delusional thinking I'll find something different doing HotShot as my own boss. It seems I'll run into the same issues whether I drive for someone or I am my own boss- long days, long hours, minimal home time, health decline, etc. It's hard because it's all I have ever known my adult life. I'm 35 now and I don't know what to pursue as a career in it's place. If you're a praying man I ask for your prayers and I'll pray for you as well. -Nick
That’s the thing with life man I think we will always inspire to do more right? In your case you should do something that aligns with what you want your lifestyle to be. That’s why I got out if otr trucking because it no longer aligned with the route I wanted to take in life. Don’t get me I love trucking and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have done this but I aspire to do more and accomplish more. It’s plenty of industries out here that will align with what you want to do brother my prayers will be out for you 🙏🏽
Thank you Anthony for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for following along 🫡
So solid love your honesty bro keep up the good work .. stay prayed up and reach your goals 🤴💪🏾❤️peace King God bless
Thank you bro I truly appreciate it much love 🙏🏽
Its hard yet peaceful
3:43 …. Yes
Good video man. Just one question, what happens with your investment now?
Thank you! My father is using the truck and trailer for now.
To many people involved in hotshot, the loads fly off the board with extremely low rates. There isn’t money in this , it is to expensive to operate. Better just having a local Cdl a job make 100k and no fees plus you get insurance
I agree with what you are saying. It’s a game of patience but preparation and good business management can help you stay afloat.
Love your content man stay safe and hope you keep posting your next journey 👍🏾
Appreciate it 🙏🏽
Stay on yo grind bro!! Good vid🔥💯
Appreciate that bro 💯
I’ve had my CDL for about 3yrs and never done OTR just been local , doing delivery jobs like working for Sysco or delivering beer etc.. always thought about going to work for myself wether it was a truck to hot shot or a semi. Would you recommend it fam, ? Or you think the industry isn’t making enough money rn ?
Getting the experience of working for myself is something I’ll never regret bro I made tons of money and I also lost money too but that comes with the territory you know? I’ll always recommend working for self but just be ready for all that comes with it the pros and cons. The experience you’ll gain will be rewarding in it self bro
Working for yourself in hotshot right now is super hard. The money is not worth the expense at the moment. Rates too low. Too many trucks and not enough loads
@@gonzalocontreras8238that’s cap! It’s money out here. Dudes been saying rates are low for the last 10 years. SMH
💪balance is the key
Definitely 🙏🏽
Respect bro
Respect 🫡
Maybe you saw the future
🙏 ⬆️.
💯
You out there on road you don’t have time to be rich and you can not think
He never said you can get rich over the road dummy
She going leave then ur be back in trucking.
Women doesn’t dictate the profession I choose to prefer
Keep it pushing the word is Pivot keep pivoting forward. We must teach others to know when to make the exit and pivot...
@@k.booker3544 agreed! Thank you!
