Straight up!! Man this a solid cat! I'm done with this street shit mane! I felt this interview and I'm way from Louisiana
Man I’m doing the same thing I’m in a barbershop and just signed up for school too

No university degree, no white collar job. Just a man with ambition willing to put the work in. Hard work pays off. Salute to you sir. Proud of you.
and some insurance and finance help and chevrolet blazer
Facts 💯💯💯💯💯💯

Yo! This was one of the realest interviews I watched cause he actually talked about the bad stuff that happened in detail!! That is greatly appreciated when a lot of ppl only talk about the good things
I can definitely relate. Been clean off of heroin for ten years and just bought my first tractor. New to me 02 Kenworth W900 and run local around my area. I'm leased onto a company that hauls mulch. If anyone think it can't been done, DON'T GIVE UP AND KEEP FIGHTING. I thank the Lord everyday!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Leased to what company?
Keep pounding
Congratulations For Taking Your Life Seriously
U rock I'm working my way off suboxone...months no pills...no weed...just a lil tequila after work...in the process of starting the rtd process for DOT and getting my cdl back but instead of b I'm going a class...I plan on working saving fixing my credit and getting my own dump truck
Man I listened 2 this interview while I was dropped load off and it got me so motivated I appreciate both of yall!
This was AMAZING! I’m a Black Woman and Veteran getting my CDL right now. I’m attending a school so I wouldn’t get stuck with a company. I found this video while doing some research into the trucking business. I learned soooo much from watching this. Thank you JH Alliance for your transparency and thank you Truck N’ Hustle for providing a platform for trucking. I look forward to my future in this business and I hope to learn more.
Same same
Black, female,Retired Marine… other companies that are popular & “made it big” on the Internet was telling me that I should come to them because of my status, certain special programs, then I called and they tried to throw me into thousand dollar classes BUT told me they didn’t offer the minority female special programs after… (basically trying to bait and switch me)
Awesome!! Im a White man.
How did it go? You driving yet?
Yes, I am with Schneider.
Motivation! I’ve been hearing bout bro for a min I’m from Milwaukee too and in trucking I can align so well with his story i wish u nothing but tremendous success keep giving the game don’t be like Zora 🤣🤣🤣💯
You hearing about bruh with 5 trucks..?
I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house for rental already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Nice one Donald.Any investment tip?. I would love to know how you made it this far
@@Alexedmartin.
@@donaldgaff2271 I value your recommendations. It's challenging to locate a trustworthy person. I could really use your investment advisor after seeing how much money you've made through investing. If you don't mind revealing her information, that is.
@@Alexedmartin. By looking for her name online, you can quickly uncover her information. She recently appeared on CNN and she is really simple to deal with no matter where you're located
@@donaldgaff2271 I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me .
This man is sooo smart and so ambitious and man enough to refer to his queen for advice, he is wise and soooo likable!!!! Bravo King and Queen! One of the best ever interviews!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Jerry & his wife are really smart and savy. I wish them all success.
Appreciate the young God's hustle. Never quit is what I picked up from his testimony. Salutes to content.
This is such a great story. As a man whose been in the dump truck game 22 years I can attest to and agree with all of this. What a way to grind and literally watch GOD open the doors for you. I wish this brother much success and that he fulfills all of his dreams. Great interview!
I could use your help💯 I’m WATCHIN’👑‼️‼️‼️💯
Some many great questions answered with clarity and humility.. Loved the story. Everyone should Share it..go viral!
This brotha gots to think the man from the white house Mr. Obama for opening doors for the BLACK folks to businesses like this.
His character is so kid like and bubbly 😂🤣 shout out to this guy man, keep grinding I’ll see you at the top.
The fact that these interviews are free is nuts. So much valuable info being shared. Thank you king
It’s not really free. 1 have to “pay” attention to receive the gems. My generation will miss those gems worrying about his lack of name brand clothing and jewelry lol
👑
As a O/O that’s in the dirt game this interview has SO MANY GEMS I’m going to look into getting my DBA I’m tired of getting robbed by these brokers!
Man these brokers steal from us on a daily lowballing us with hourly rates etc I got a skid steer to go along with my dump truck and makes 2x-3x as much best decision I have made so far
Can someone write his Instagram here plz
I respect this interview. Everybody has their own way of expressing their self
Thanks for the education. People are afraid to share their mistakes that taught them. I think it's pride and hoping others have to pay the same cost. We can complain about brokers or pass out donuts and take the rate we can run on to feed the driver, the truck and the next truck.
I like this Guy, honest , hardworking and funny, I learned alot from this interview.
I appreciate his honesty and how basic he kept it 🙏🏿 It's nice to get motivation from another hustler! God bless you brotha
Best Dump Truck related interview.👍🏾
Congratulations ......MBE and DBE are a great help and any State regional certifications. Great interview
Bro, this guy's energy is amazing. I'm really curious about getting into dump trucks now. Great interview.
GREAT INTERVIEWER!!!! You made sure to ask alll the right questions and you would come back to points that he didnt explain like where the 500,000 come from. How exactly did he bid on job!! How did he go direct….what exactly did he do. You asked everything we were wondering. EXCELLENT INTERVIEWER
For all my felons believe stuff can change if your mind is ready for it keep grinding 💯 💪 🙏
Thank you for another great interview. I enjoyed Jerry’s personality and his honesty. He gonna win no matter what!
Such a realistic interview didn’t hold nothing back I have family in Milwaukee and they all speak just like him slow and smooth 💯 whole lotta playas out there
Yes sir
Same here! I’m from Florida but grew up in Milwaukee…. My brothers and sister were born there! Talk just like him…. I love his ambitious 🙏🏽
Thanks man I needed this God bless ya. First year owner op flatbed in the south it’s tough being young and brown in this business but God will provide.
He chose the right woman. The fact that his wife is there with him is inspiring and that she has the know how to get out of that bad contract. My divorce has turned into a blessing I was never going anywhere with my past relationship.
That is what matters 💯👍🏾
Went through the same thing. This was inspiring to restart my trucking business that was thriving pre-ex leaving with my newborn child…Accomplished one dream which was purchasing my dream home post separation, next is leaving my golden hand cuff career again for my passion which is trucking
Amen
I feel the same here. It's about to go down. 🤗🕎✝️🛐
That’s wassup rob
That’s facts. His wife deff key to his success. Man
Love this guy. He is honest and humble.Not scared of competition. God Bless !

This guy is incredible. One of the best interviews ive seen.
Man I love this guys honesty hustle and drive he's humbled he's a true go-getter and he's definitely going to get 20 trucks and some .

This is my 1st year in it and I've made quite a few mistakes that I've learned from so they were lessons thanx T&H & JH
I appreciate this interview. I’m getting mines together now and this really helped me…Big time 🤝🏾
Bro his energy is prefect. This a good man right here. Proud of you 👍🏾 and wish you many more profitable contracts brotha 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I work in transportation repairs, but I just love seeing ambitious people not being afraid to go get their's! Not depending on anyone. Not quitting. Learning, making adjustments, growing, and seeing it all pay off!💪🏾😎
This is one the best interviews you’ve done! This had me rolling but had me listening!
This was a great interview. Real authentic. Growing and research your outcomes before you jump 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾
I like people like this straight ambition much respect to this guy!!
If you hauling salt the best way to save your beds of ur truck is Teflon the bottom and sides of your truck and you will notice how much easier the load comes out too
This interview was one of the best ever. Shalom
amazing how people hate on you so u won't grow. just imagine how many fail bcuz some hater don't want u to grow. they should shut her ass down. people don't like when u have drive and u have a vision. i love this man story

Truck n hustle switch my mind set and saved my life 🙏🏾🎯
Love ❤️ 🙏🏽
what a great hustler spirit, and seems like a good dude
I like how genuine this interview was straight up trial and error
Great interview when he's a subcontractor for a prime. It's definitely not enough SBE or DBE companies attending important meetings. Get with your SBA office to attend the next event. Or contact ptac.
Man You Just Blessed My Whole Family!!!! Straight Like That
This is true definition of being yo own boss and stop going thru the middle man
Great interview!!!!! I'm sitting here in my box truck (over the road) sleeping in Harrisburg PA. WONDERING did I make the right choice? Box trucking is not paying any good rates right now, but I'm going to keep POUNDING, and growing my business. Box trucks,dump trucks, and semis eventually I will have. This brother has inspired me to keep going. THANK YOU!!!
box truck loads don’t pay well?
@@Sportsmedia0 I'm running under a company called TQL and they're paying dog sh!@. Have not tried amazon but will be in a couple weeks. I'm just starting out so I'm going to keep POUNDING. There has to be some good money out here somewhere.
@@thesavageland8815 wow! This just gave me added anxiety. I currently have a 26ft box truck(2016 Hino 268)… that I’m feeling I wrongly invested in 😢. I bought it with the hopes of using it for Amazon. Now, I’m Trying to sell it as it to recover that money spent… after watching this video however, I have a renewed sense of success… it’s usually isn’t a smooth sailing and seeing someone like Jerry who has lost so much (time, money and hope at times)awakens my faith.
I hope things work out (for good) for you.
@@justinababs9560 things are getting better, I just started running with amazon. I'm founding out you have to put it together as far as load wise. Run amazon at night and grab another load from Logistics companies or possibly grab two amazon loads in a day.
@@thesavageland8815 oh really! That’s good to know!! My main foreseeable obstacle is getting a reliable driver. Besides being scared of driving huge vehicles lol, I run a dealership and also do DMV registration (paperwork intensive) …. So I’ll need to rely heavily on committed drivers…. But yes, my goal was(is) to do mostly amazon and also sign up with other logistic companies. With that in mind, I purchased the Hino Truck and a Nissan NV 2500.
Thank you for your insight..always much more informative to hear directly from people in the field…doing what you aspire to do.
And thanks for your swift response too👊
Great video, I was a truck driver and really didn't know much on growing my earnings. I’m currently retired, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, I decided to stay on the sideline for awhile, now I’m worried with the numerous bank failures as of late, am I better off reinvesting my savings in the stock market.
Growing money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Not at all, having monitored edge my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping $573k from just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market. I must say it's the boldest decision I've taken since recently.
@@james.atkins88 I've been thinking about going that route. I have a lot of stocks that I have maintained, but they are beginning to lose value, so I'm not sure if I should hold onto them or sell them. I feel hiring your investment coach would make it easier to restructure my portfolio.
Mary Onita Wier, maintains an online presence. just make a simple search for her name online.
Good interview its good to hear about peoples mistakes and how they learned from them 🤝
This is the best interview I have ever seen in my life Iam 37 years olds congratulations on you company
