Dead Head miles are not FREE! They will eat up your profits BIG TIME! The before and after DH miles will make you Not Profitable. Too many Brokers take their 25% and want you to run for less than $ 1.50 per Mile! And then they woke up!!! The CHEAP CRAP rates has put a lot of Trucking Companies out of Business! It's a race to the bottom as the Cost of everything continues to go up! WAKE UP PEOPLE, WE are in a Depression Economy thanks to BIDO, and the Asshole DEMOCRAPS! Trump has some good ideas to turn things around, but it's going to take Years to undo the damage to our Economy!

So I have my Class A CDL, but I plan on running a non CDL set up. Can you explain if I have any benefits with having my CDL or would it be like not having it? Appreciate any feedback brother. Love you videos and all the information you put out there! Thanks again.

Just passed you on I5 and subbed from seeing your sticker lol it works

It would be awesome to get you a bypass oil filter kit so you can extend your intervals. It is cost effective over time. I do enjoy maintenance videos regardless. 🤘

Hello! ?, were you in Cleveland Oh a week ago on I 271 N bond? Be Safe!! Ken!! Oh!! 👍🏾💯

Driving is a very stressful job on your body. Sitting 3/4 of the time. Your legs and back aren’t being used much. This is more than likely the reason why you are short of breath and it wears you down easier than it used too.

Love what you do, thanks for your channel. How do you find your loads and do you believe that Non-CDL is a good starting point for a new HS business

I was an Owner Operator for 20 yrs. Sold everything and drove Company truck my last 5 yrs before retiring after 44 yrs of Trucking. Bless you my friend as I would not move freight for 1.20 per mile. Even if it gets me back home. That Low Rate plus uncounted DH miles will eventually Bankrupt many guys! Parts,Tires and Oil Changes continue to increase. Nobody can continue to run and be profitable at these Garbage can rates going lower. It is a race to the bottom as JB Hunt use to say! How do you pay your House Bills? The 2 worst 4 letter words in trucking are "BACK HAUL"! Brokers know people will take those Garbage can loads just to get home. They think you should be able to run for 50% less!!! This Insanity is the Main reason Trucking companies are going Belly up every week! When I had my Semi-truck, I had to know what my CPM was. If you don't know then you end up running for peanuts Losing money while Dispatchers and Freight companies make a profit! My motto became "If it doesn't profit me, Don't turn the key!!!" NO CHEAP FREIGHT!

I find it really hard to believe its dead. Maybe in Commiefornia

Get a lawyer from day one, I’ve learned that myself.

Right u riding e log or paper?

What do you do normally haul no touch freight

Hey bud what do you average in a week after fuel food and if you stop at a hotel for the night what do you clear after expenses and taxes what's your average take home after everything is all said and done

Hye. I watch to video. You very good explain. So i interested driver or own driver? Please if you have time i need talk or write. I live Brooklyn

Well why didn’t ya take the rental truck ? Lol would have made ya money in the mean time

Hey new subscriber nice video did you have to load the lifts yourself ?

Looking to sign on with you in January or February. Just got a nice 2020 big tex 25 plus 5 with mega ramps and put brand new 14 ply tires and brand new trailer brakes on this weekend, I live north of Seattle, 57 years old and have been towing and hauling heavy equipment for many years. Retiring from commercial masonry and going to hotshot, getting cdl and bigger setup maby next summer, any input for good people to try to sign on with would be appreciated if your not taking on anyone, thanks

are you going to get a CDL? I'm getting mine in January. I think the ability to carry a little more will help (got to get a new truck and trailer anyway)

I stayed at that same rest area last night. It wss nice. Glad to see you back out there.

How is that trailer holding up?

Looking to sign on, almost 37 years in commercial masonry so Im familiar with big flatbeds and trailers and securing loads, I live in bothell Washington, picking up a 30 foot gooseneck with ramps this weekend, if your not taking on people do you know good people to sign on with ? Thanks

How do I get started?

Is $2500 a week do able as a NON CDL driver?

Wow good week my friend . I’m still waiting for a week like that $$$!!! B safe

How often do I have to stop at a weigh station? Do I have to weigh when I’m empty? Just once every time I get a load or partial? Once every state?

How do you travel in California without a CDL? I was told any vehicles over 10,000 GVWR you need a CDL. Just haven’t been Stopped yet?

Ha ha look one of those fake spruce trees cell phone repeater towers @ 9:29 😄

What is the app that you get your load? I’m from ct

How much does your trailer weigh and what is the empty tongue weight? Is this RAM 2500 or 3500? If 3500, you don't want to install a slim diesel tank so that you don't have to refuel diesel at California prices?

Good video bro, what kind of load board do you use?

Hey man thanks for sharing your journey it's good to see you back on the road. I'm hopeful that I can get in the game mid 2025!!

I'd love to lease on with you.

Are you looking to hire, Im 57, in washington state, Been a commercial Masonry foreman for 35 years, always towing heavy stuff.

Thank you for your service.

How do you book your loads? Do you have a dispatcher? I see you have multiple trucks in your MC, do you also let other owner operators run under your MC?

If non-CDL, why pull into scale ?

So non-CDL means no 10 reset needed, right ?

How is your truck doing since the repairs? Hopefully driving and handling ok for you...

IMHO you pros should stop advertising what you make. Thats no one's business but your own. This invites even more wanna-bees into the industry lowering prices even more for (again) pros like you and Alex.

Glad you’re back.

Nice seeing videos again. Love the 'on the road' shots, since it's all places I used to travel. Miss the Siskiyou shots, but it's all good (edit* I gotta remember to comment after the video, not during). Just out of curiosity, on an unrelated topic, I would think the time off when the truck was down would have been a good time to get the CDL. Would you say the CDL more of a bonus than a necessity in hotshot?

Good to see back rolling. Keep the oily side down..

Get that money brother drive safe 🤘

Another great video as always. Glad your back on the road. Always hard to get back in the swing of things when you have been down for awhile. Keep up the hustle.

Going into San Diego...better make sure you have enough fuel and time on your clock to get in and out...truck stops are few and far between down that way.....keep doing what you do brother! Love the videos!

I just recently subscribed to your channel. I did not realize that you were out of work for nearly 2 months. Glad you're back working! I am an AMSOIL dealer, and I am interested in learning about your maintenance practices. Can I call or email you? I've also got some excellent fuel additives to help keep fuel systems clean and efficient.

I’m from Northern California and I’m looking into getting into this field. I’ve been watching a lot of RUclips videos and it seems kinda confusing and a lot to start out to get trucking. I’m about a hour north of Sacramento and was thinking about going down to the ports in the Bay Area and southern California to haul containers. Have you ever hauled out of those area?

Nice tarp job

hi, which trailer do you use?

Nice load👍. I'd be curious to see how you secured it with chains and binders...I paused the vid but couldn't see the hook up points looks like bungie cords coming through the rims?
