You are a great Man : honest , helpful and people lover . You did your video just to motivate us who are struggling with life . God keeps you safe . 💗 💗💗. I like these kinds of people in my life . Not selfish , not jealous . Just wondering why many people didn't like this video .
Thanks for the great video. I just got my CLP this morning. I really want to be an owner operator down the line after I get enough experience on the road. This video has a lot of great information. 💪
Hey man I just want to say thank you. I am working on getting back on my feet and your videos motivate me to get back out there and make it happen. Thank you!
I thank God for you brother cuz I'm really close to buying my truck in these days and time and you give me confidence that I should move on may God bless you and your family thank you
I been watching your videos I really want to get my own truck just a day cab to start Trucks are stupid expensive and is scary when you don’t have the experience on the field But watching your videos motivate me one day I’ll get my own truck and I’ll remember your videos
What’s up fam how’s everything. My best advice is to work on building your credit for like 6 months get with a credit union and get a truck through your bank you can find a good truck for around 40k you just have to grind hard fam
Mannn my cousin was just talking to me about this last night at a bbq and I hop youtube today and your video popped up. I gotta save up asap to buy a truck and start my llc. Thanks bro
Thank you so much for the vid, I am on my way back to the states from Australia and I plan on getting back in the truck. I want to become an owner operator but not sure how to get ready to hit the ground running once i touch down. This helps so much.
Appreciate you for making this video, I didn't know I needed a CA number . I filed for my mc number and dot number and thought I was almost ready to run after I got Insurance. My truck will be ready for pick up in a few days , do you know a company I can lease on with in the I.E area until I get my Authority fully active?
Try arrow truck sales in fontana. I bought mines from a private dealer the beginning of last year. I’m not sure if the private dealer is still selling trucks. I found them on Craigslist.
I been having my class a license for 6 years but only been driving class b trucks(concrete mixer trucks) been looking into buying a semi and going o/o here in cali,but dont have actual class a experience,you think its a good idea....i mean i drivin semi trucks evey now and then and was in training with cr england but couldn't do otr...eny advise is highly appreciated
Any advice ? I just got my cdl . I want to do port work eventually . I got my twic already and all my endorsements. I know I need to get my experience for sure
The best advice I would give a new driver is to get one year of OTR experience. So you can experience different driving conditions. That will help you out a lot
Did you use a compliance company to do all your documents or did you do it alone? I just got the USDOT number and all the compliance companies have been blowing my email and phone up 😵💫
@lifewithryda who did you use for insurance , I'm searching for quotes now they've all been high ass hell like 4k down 1700 a month and I have a clean record
Thanks, This is the most solid video I have found. No fluff just what I needed. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!

What if my credit isn’t the greatest? Can you make a video about what’s the best places to go to buy trucks?
Yes I’ll make a vid on where to by a truck. If your credit isn’t so great they just require a higher down payment

What up fam how’s everything check on Craigslist they have a lot of jobs for owner operators
I may have missed it in the video ... Did you purchase your semi from a private seller or a dealer? ... we are looking for a dealer that we can trust.

Yes it’s a good idea especially when the truck prices have went down. Work will pick up for O/O soon and when it does the money will be amazing

You can get all that stuff now but it won’t be active until you get your insurance. But I would get the permits out the way
Did you use a compliance company to do all your documents or did you do it alone? I just got the USDOT number and all the compliance companies have been blowing my email and phone up 😵💫

So is it better to get a truck from a action?
It depends if you can find a good tuning truck or not. If you can find a deal then yes I would recommend it.
How do you get a owner operator cdl job in the ports local

Bro, owner-operator is the biggest scam In trucking.
Being a owner-operator is a good thing it’s just a bad time to be one with these Rates
what about twic card ?
Have to contact your local TSA building and apply for one. The process now takes about 4-6weeks
Who did your LLC?
What’s up man I private company did shoot me a email I can give you their information lifewithryda@gmail.com
How money should you save up max
Save up to buy a truck? Or save once you get a truck?
@@lifewithryda both
@@s_cutt so I would save up 20-30k to buy a truck depending on the cost of the truck. Then I would put aside 10k for rainy days
Thanks bro!
No problem
