Hey Casey, big thank you from The Trucker Calculator team. We really appreciate your thoughts and sharing the product of our hard work to your audience! We hope it will help truck owners and owner operators to take control of their numbers.
Your truckercalculator app needs to expand to other small businesses. I'm sure Uber and Lyft drivers could use something similar. Also I know AirBnB owners that could really use something like that too.
I'm impressed as always that Casey did his standard thing here. He used the product for two months before saying a word about it. That's all about being honest, forthright and detailed. It's about not talking until you've learned what you are talking about. The sort of RUclips business model countless others should take lessons from! :)
A sponsored video for a free service to help truckers stay in business is just another awesome example of Casey sharing important and helpful information. What a tool to add to Casey's awesome bag of tools. Thanks for sharing. Peace Out.
Its really is hard to beat. I have worked that schedule for the last 2 years hauling cars on a 4 car rollback for a major used car dealer. They pay is good and the schedule is great. I could probably make more working somewhere else, but I would have to work so much more and its hard to want to do that lol
I was a driver for 41 years and and I'm still learning stuff just watching your videos. You are a very sharp guy and you go the extra mile and it's nice to watch a true professional. Little thing's like strapping the air wings on the tractor because you are pulling it backwards is just one of those little thing's that you show your knowledge. Thank you for keeping trucking professional we know what it's turning into.
In this video we actually hear Casey making money, "yeah credit card is fine", I wonder how much he charges for these big recoveries with his new truck. The new Truck with the ZACKLIFT equipment is awesome. I envy you Casey, the American Dream is a live and well with you. Work hard and you will achieve.
Casey is Awesome & Priceless: "And Yes this is a sponsored video and for those of you who think that's just the most horrible thing in the world, now's your chance to bail." Love🥰it😎 Personally I look foraward to everything you share Casey and I always enjoy and appreciate the thoughtfully considered, selective sponsors you carefully choose to infrequently share brother. In Fact, I pay close attention with genuine regard and interest in whatever limitted sponsorships you share in a manner that far exceeds the attention I give to that of Any other content producer on RUclips, because you Never compromise your Integrity, are Always Honest, and you certainly make sharing entertaining in every sense of the best possible ways, which includes clear, easy to understand, pleasantly presented, and complete information about the sponsor's product at hand. Thank You "Cascade" Casey.....keep em' coming😉👊😎
Fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of both the trucking and RUclips world of finance. The numbers are simply larger that I imagined. Keep doing what you do, and run that cool truck!!
So I would guess that the only reason that original belt was slipping was because the tensioner had run out of range due to the install pin being installed.
I was thinking that exact thing. At least it wasn't a huge inconvenience and I guess he gained a tool now. Still not bad he replaced the belt because the old one has already slipped a few times, so it did get more damaged than normal use.
I'll never understand people who get butthurt over sponsored content. If you find the terms acceptable, that's all that matters. edit - Just finished watching, that website is amazing. I'm an accounting and finance guy by trade, and everything you're saying is absolutely spot-on. Good on you for putting this information out there, this kind of enabling information is incredibly important for anyone who wants to run their own business. Anyway, personal griping aside, new camera looks pretty good. Thanks for taking us along as always.
Always a lesson with Casey. One of the hardest things that Ive tried to teach other drivers is that it doesn't matter how many miles you drive. Its what you make per mile, not what you make after all your weekly or monthly miles. With a profession that is built on running numbers everyday, so many drivers cant or wont take the time to look at their profitability, or lack there of. You try and talk with them about it and get the standard ,"What does it matter, I have money in the bank every month?" *sigh* Thanks for the recomend for the trucker calculator, Casey! And also for the story about the O/O, AND for showing how you chain that axle up. I was wondering about that from the last few vids that you talked about it.
I always tried to get drivers to understand that the company that promises big miles isn't paying big money. I never got brave enough to venture into the O/O business, and I wouldn't want to tackle that job for all the money in the world. I like just telling someone my truck needs to be fixed, or using someone else's credit card to get fuel, and not spending my time off working on the truck. It's all a tradeoff I guess, and now I've wandered far away from the original point. As usual.
This comment is just for the algorithm to direct more views and profits your way. I especially enjoyed what you did for that sports league by providing lighting for the kiddos. Making time despite having a busy schedule to make a difference in other people's lives is admirable. All the best Casey. 👍
Speaking for myself (and I'd imagine thousands of others), there's no need to apologize for having sponsors. If RUclips wasn't profitable for guys like you, then you wouldn't be on here educating and entertaining all of us.
I am not a truck driver, but I am a big fan and subscriber that enjoys videos that explain and educate. There is so much cool information about what you do, and how the various pieces of equipment operate. I may never need a Calculator application, but it does give me an idea on how the trucking business works. I remember learning about kinetic ropes (and soft shackles) from your videos, and now I have one set in my F150 and another in my Wrangler - Thank you. Like the rest of the fans, I am anxiously waiting to see the upcoming winter snow recoveries. Have a great Veterans Day holiday weekend. KM
I was looking through your towing playlist and accidentally found the not yet released videos. A good suprise to find extra content on a weekend😀. Interesting video and i will definitly check out the trucker calculator. thumbs up👍
That's the way my HVAC company is, I can profit working 2 days per week. But it's easy to get lazy and it makes me dread going on calls more. When I'm broke, it's much more motivating.
This excellent video is of the same caliber as last years The Dirty Truth Behind RUclips Sponsorships, which I just now watched again before generating this comment.
In my country there is a popular saying that says the following: "It is better to be silent and appear stupid than to speak and show it" (I'm talking about myself :(, don't be wrong). I clarify this since I usually comment on any nonsense, to help the dissemination of the channel thanks to the RUclips algorithm; As I understand it, the number of comments matters more than their content, and given that it is the only way I can support a channel that amuses me, entertains me, and even teaches me things that I may never put into practice, but who You know, here is my comment, my apologies for the choice of words (Google Translate), and greetings from Spain.
This is the kind of sponsored video that I really appreciate. It's helpful to the ones it's directed at. And what's more, I'm not even one of them, but I still appreciate it.
Because of your openness in the past about products when you do have a sponsored video and us knowing you're not bought by sponsors like other channels we have faith in the products or services you allow to sponsor you. So very welcome in today's world to get good firsthand information and reviews from trustworthy people.
I think everyone needs to read and take this information and these numbers to heart. It shows how much the truckers have to do to make a livable wage. This also gives the average person prospective on why so many truckers/ trucking businesses are going out of business. Hope this app helps truckers get paid the wage they need and so deserve. Appreciate your videos, you always keep it so the common person can understand and learn. Stay safe and GOD bless
So, 35 seconds in and I love that you mention the fact this is a sponsored video because you always break down the costs openly. Not everyone does that.
That's one sponsor which has struck gold with Casey there to tell us how it really works in clear as day practical terms. He probably never said he was any good at running a business model either....
That calculator is a fantastic idea. Just wonder what shippers are going to do when lots and lots of truckers start demanding proper payment for their services? They're are going to get the slap of reality in the face.
They're going to do what they've always done and pass that increase on down the line. And when we have to start paying more for everything maybe then we'll appreciate what truckers were doing for us all this time. But probably not.
“Sponsored video, you can bail now”😂😂 The people that have a problem with a sponsor can skip it, this is something that many trucking businesses could use. You always give an honest opinion on the items you do show. Keep up the great videos and stay safe out there! ❤️🙏
Your "old" belt was never getting properly tensioned, that's why it would squeal. If it's not glazed from slipping, it's probably fine now that you took out the installation tool and the tensioner can move its full swing. Were I you, I'd carry it as a spare.
Casey I wanted let you know I appreciate your videos. I don’t drive big trucks, I don’t do towing. however I know hard work and doing everything you can to make a living better for those you love. Keep up the good work.
The u bolt adapters, I wasn't sure just how they worked. Didn't know if they went in between all the u bolts or just up on one. I see how now, they just go on one.
Liked the video at 0:25 as soon as you said "bail now." Your choice of sponsors and content are very shrewd and I appreciate the thought you put into screening them, from e-bikes to EcoFlow batteries. Keep up the awesome work and we'll keep supporting you here!
Casey those ratchet straps that self adjust prior to tightening are some awesome tools to have specially when you have to strap things down frequently..
With exact lift and all the equipment you put onto it and a truck that carries it and then the trailer you bought specifically for applications for that truck and that lift will pay off when other movers can't do the job. Joe, I was born in Springfield, Oregon
I started doing YT videos over a decade ago. I quickly noticed that I’d spend 3 days editing a days worth of video from three cameras into a 15 minute video. I couldn’t understand how others were putting out 30 minute videos every week. I eventually walked away from it and focused on working rather than producing. I understand that editing has gotten faster today, but I still recognize how much it takes to do and always wondered if it would make sense to try and get YT profitable. Then I see people like MORR who went from a phone to an entire production studio and realize that I don’t want to get that far into it. It was nice to hear that you can now see how much time YT takes out of your work day. I wonder what that will change for you, but I do enjoy your content and information. Still bummed that I missed in Redmond at the Expo
Yeah I have no desire to get to Matt’s size of operation. But RUclips does take a huge amount of time away from my actual business, and it’s simply impossible to run both of them to their fullest potential, so I try to find a balance between the two
@@CaseyLaDelle hi casey, you said that your not that good at editing a while ago and i can see that you improved alot but why don't you can someone to help you professionly edit videos so you can get more time doing recoveries since you wanna spend more time working with the new wrecker and doing off road recoveries ?
@@OUSSAMA10815He could, but then the profitability of both CHR and his YT profits would take a big hit, not to mention payroll and annual tax calculations, who needs that??!! So long as both aren't cutting into family time, I think he's doing great and we keep watching!! 👍
@@OUSSAMA10815 I have tried multiple times, and all its led to is me spending MORE time working with someone to get it right that just doing to myself.
I've messed around with YT for some of my metal art stuff, and the editing is only after you have the footage. Getting decent footage of a project can easily make the project take twice as long!
Very interesting video and the indepth explanation of the costs of running a trucking company. I was in the brokerage business a long time ago and I had the feeling then that the owner operators I worked with had no clue as to their AR/AP and I was right. Great video Casey.
Hi Casey, I've run my own company for 41yrs and always wondered how you could afford to have trucks just sat around, well that question is answered 🤣 The Trucker Calculator team programme will hopefully save some people from going under. I once worked for a company where the Dad bank rolled the son, I was talking to the Dad one day and he said my son is making a small fortune,,,,, unfortunately he started with a large one 🤣 As for sponsored videos your'e in business to make a living and if sponsorship is what it takes, carry on.
i have a calculator in every vehicle i own as it is so essential to just about every aspect of business , its the numbers that get you in trouble , volume is a terrific thing iwhen you factor it into the equation , been trucking for 42 years and have had issues before I learned this concept
I have no problem with sponsorships that relate to the subject matter. I'm subscribed to several woodworking and car-related creators with Factor food delivery sponsorships. I fast forward right through those,
Nice neon green rear light box, put a gps tracker on it just in case it falls off, during a tow. It’s good practice that have a specific routine trained in your brain that you follow.
If it keeps you making interesting video, commercials are totally understandable, and that company is selling exactly what they preach to the "unprepared " on Shark Tank. KNOW YOUR COSTS. keep up the goodwork Casey.
I doesn't surprise me that Cascade Heavy Rescue is losing money, most businesses do (on paper). What did surprise me was how much it lost and that RUclips made up for all that lose. Please don't change how you run run your business/RUclips. You are such a bright light in both your community and on RUclips.
I don't know if anyone mentioned or if you already have used. When I was towing heavy we had a chain with grab hooks on a chain with about 4 or 5 links to chain up axles. Very light and easy to hook your two axle chains together eliminating having to use a binder. The little chain was about 6 inches in length. Also we use the little chain to keep our wire rope in a certain spot on a chain during recovery. Just an idea for you. Love the videos and the new wrecker very versatile unit.
They have axle chains now that has a huge J hook on one end and grab hooks on the other. They work great! J hook to the axle and one grab hook to the frame and the other to the chain.
NICE!!! really like the silver/gray accents added... in a 20 minute viewing watched the 'likes' go up over 500 past when I pressed like. Keep up the great content Casey..
I'm wondering if the belt squeal you were hearing was from the belt being loose because the stop was in there. The old belt is probably still good, the tensioner just couldn't pull it tight due to the stop. Throw it in a box somewhere and keep it for a spare, unless it's worn from being loose.
I am not in the trucking industry but I really like the stuff you talk about. Keep up the good work and the way you explain all of the different things you do.
Just removing the installation tool would have cured your belt squeak, but you probably had some wear on the belt because it wasn’t adequately tensioned for who knows how long.
Good video. Can’t believe they forgot the pin for the tensioner 🤦♂️ guess you can install the new one since you already bought it and keep the old one as a back up. Love that you’re staying busy with that new unit. 💪💪
Fortunately my non emissions 1995 has been on the hook twice in the 18 years I’ve owned it and yes I work every day. Broken piston and broken driveshaft on a steep hill with the wrong gears and a loaded tanker
Good afternoon Casey. Sounds to me like Trucker Calculator is an extremely useful tool. You have a lot of pokers in the fire Casey , I am glad that it is all working out for you at the end of the day. Thanks for taking is along and thumbs UP!!
Great information! Owner Operators like yourself are the Backbone of America and I thank you!! May I suggest to you a great idea, hire a US Veteran to work while you are YouTubing videos? Vets need a good boss like yourself to get going. Keep up the great work
So, being a small business operator, you'll have a tremendous annual amount of IRS deductions over many future years. Big numbers! Turbo Tax did all my calculations for my business. It didn't track the data truckcalculator provides.
Nice thing about beeing a truck driver ( although here in europe it's a lot different than there) is being alone not arguing with colleagues or whoever. Not nice thing about beiing a truck driver is arguing with literally everybody else on the road who seems to not see you even if you're by far the biggest thing on the road and they cut you out each roundabout 😆
Hey Casey, big thank you from The Trucker Calculator team.
We really appreciate your thoughts and sharing the product of our hard work to your audience! We hope it will help truck owners and owner operators to take control of their numbers.
Your truckercalculator app needs to expand to other small businesses. I'm sure Uber and Lyft drivers could use something similar. Also I know AirBnB owners that could really use something like that too.
Hey you don't get much better than a positive review from Casey either... He's very well known to be blunt about products that *don't* measure up.
I'm impressed as always that Casey did his standard thing here. He used the product for two months before saying a word about it. That's all about being honest, forthright and detailed. It's about not talking until you've learned what you are talking about. The sort of RUclips business model countless others should take lessons from! :)
Yep....... What he said.
As a truck mechanic, it’s refreshing to see someone who understands what an S-cam is and why you wouldn’t wrap your chain around it
Casey deserves a $100 tip every time he does a free rescue...!!!!
It's only fair...!!!!
I'm sure you could send it to his patrean account,
help him, help people ❤
I've seen people try to give him money and he refuses saying if you have a favorite charity give to them what ever you think my fee should be.
A sponsored video for a free service to help truckers stay in business is just another awesome example of Casey sharing important and helpful information. What a tool to add to Casey's awesome bag of tools. Thanks for sharing. Peace Out.
3 days a week sounds hard to beat Casey...now that is what I call life balance!
Its really is hard to beat. I have worked that schedule for the last 2 years hauling cars on a 4 car rollback for a major used car dealer. They pay is good and the schedule is great. I could probably make more working somewhere else, but I would have to work so much more and its hard to want to do that lol
I work 4 and have 3 off. I love my schedule
Work smart not harder
I was a driver for 41 years and and I'm still learning stuff just watching your videos. You are a very sharp guy and you go the extra mile and it's nice to watch a true professional. Little thing's like strapping the air wings on the tractor because you are pulling it backwards is just one of those little thing's that you show your knowledge. Thank you for keeping trucking professional we know what it's turning into.
Also take a look at professional operation in Missouri western truck another truly honest man and his family
In this video we actually hear Casey making money, "yeah credit card is fine", I wonder how much he charges for these big recoveries with his new truck. The new Truck with the ZACKLIFT equipment is awesome. I envy you Casey, the American Dream is a live and well with you. Work hard and you will achieve.
Guessing $5-8/mile and $120+ per hour?
First class equipment
Sounds like he doesn't charge enough
Don’t envy, emulate!
Considering he lost the lightbar in that U haul video and said he did it for free. lightbar’s $750 🤷♂️
Excellent way to incorporate sponsors ... full integrity but who would except anything less. Love these, Casey.
Casey is Awesome & Priceless: "And Yes this is a sponsored video and for those of you who think that's just the most horrible thing in the world, now's your chance to bail." Love🥰it😎
Personally I look foraward to everything you share Casey and I always enjoy and appreciate the thoughtfully considered, selective sponsors you carefully choose to infrequently share brother.
In Fact, I pay close attention with genuine regard and interest in whatever limitted sponsorships you share in a manner that far exceeds the attention I give to that of Any other content producer on RUclips, because you Never compromise your Integrity, are Always Honest, and you certainly make sharing entertaining in every sense of the best possible ways, which includes clear, easy to understand, pleasantly presented, and complete information about the sponsor's product at hand.
Thank You "Cascade" Casey.....keep em' coming😉👊😎
Fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of both the trucking and RUclips world of finance. The numbers are simply larger that I imagined. Keep doing what you do, and run that cool truck!!

My thoughts as well.
Correct
I was thinking that exact thing. At least it wasn't a huge inconvenience and I guess he gained a tool now. Still not bad he replaced the belt because the old one has already slipped a few times, so it did get more damaged than normal use.
I about spit my pop out when Casey gave the haters a way out before the sponsorship. 😊😊
Had a dream last night that I lost my lightbar coming over the Santiam Pass…. Thanks Casey
I'll never understand people who get butthurt over sponsored content. If you find the terms acceptable, that's all that matters.

Just shared this video to Mr Iver. His workshop is only 30mins from my house
Fifth wheel puller was the most versatile tool I had on my truck (flatbed)
In over a decade, it was never once used for its intended purpose
It sure was handy for chaining up!
I was looking through your towing playlist and accidentally found the not yet released videos. A good suprise to find extra content on a weekend😀. Interesting video and i will definitly check out the trucker calculator. thumbs up👍

Casey that was almost a painless sponsored video 😄 At least the sponsor was not the totality of the thing !
Thats cool you ended up with a free installation tool.
So, wouldn't that keeper on the belt tensioner keep the original belt from being tight? Which is why is squeeked??
Yes

Knowledge is definitely power!

Casey you provide very good information and even though I am not in the trucking industry I find it entertaining. Better than watching Halmark movies.
You’re nobody’s fool. You do what you enjoy….. have a great balance between work and home and still make money. Win win win 🤘🏻

It allow you get to the back binder for the other strap! 10:33
I love those ratchet straps……..!
i have a calculator in every vehicle i own as it is so essential to just about every aspect of business , its the numbers that get you in trouble , volume is a terrific thing iwhen you factor it into the equation , been trucking for 42 years and have had issues before I learned this concept
I have no problem with sponsorships that relate to the subject matter. I'm subscribed to several woodworking and car-related creators with Factor food delivery sponsorships. I fast forward right through those,
Nice neon green rear light box, put a gps tracker on it just in case it falls off, during a tow. It’s good practice that have a specific routine trained in your brain that you follow.
Seems like that new camera is more vibrant (good thing)
Casey, take the sponsor's that you know to be above board and useful. GOOD INFO. Thanks for the video.
If it keeps you making interesting video, commercials are totally understandable, and that company is selling exactly what they preach to the "unprepared " on Shark Tank. KNOW YOUR COSTS. keep up the goodwork Casey.
Good instructive video! If you can’t measure it , you can’t manage it! 👍🇨🇦
I doesn't surprise me that Cascade Heavy Rescue is losing money, most businesses do (on paper). What did surprise me was how much it lost and that RUclips made up for all that lose. Please don't change how you run run your business/RUclips. You are such a bright light in both your community and on RUclips.
I figure much of that loss is because the rollback was broke down and the new truck not ready yet. Last quarter of 2023 should be a lot better.
Not about to bail! You’re teaching, I’m learning!
I don't know if anyone mentioned or if you already have used. When I was towing heavy we had a chain with grab hooks on a chain with about 4 or 5 links to chain up axles. Very light and easy to hook your two axle chains together eliminating having to use a binder. The little chain was about 6 inches in length. Also we use the little chain to keep our wire rope in a certain spot on a chain during recovery. Just an idea for you. Love the videos and the new wrecker very versatile unit.
They have axle chains now that has a huge J hook on one end and grab hooks on the other. They work great! J hook to the axle and one grab hook to the frame and the other to the chain.
I’ve ordered the actual axle chains
@@CaseyLaDelle they great!
I am not a trucker at all, but I totally appreciated the transparency of the business at the end. The sponsored portion was actually very informative.
NICE!!! really like the silver/gray accents added... in a 20 minute viewing watched the 'likes' go up over 500 past when I pressed like. Keep up the great content Casey..
I'm wondering if the belt squeal you were hearing was from the belt being loose because the stop was in there. The old belt is probably still good, the tensioner just couldn't pull it tight due to the stop. Throw it in a box somewhere and keep it for a spare, unless it's worn from being loose.
now i know where my belt tool went
Hey the camera is pretty good, could see your eyes & stubble sharply and clearly! This cam will be super for the scenic winter and snow rescues!
The old belt may have been OK considering the tensioner was not at full tension due to the tool still in place! assuming no cracks and such ...
I can't wait for the snow recovery's, don't get me wrong I like all your recovery's but there something about see that wilderness and deep snow.
I am not in the trucking industry but I really like the stuff you talk about. Keep up the good work and the way you explain all of the different things you do.
This is the first sponsored segment that I have sat through. Nice work once again Casey
Hello Casey from down under New Zealand love your vids thanks
Just removing the installation tool would have cured your belt squeak, but you probably had some wear on the belt because it wasn’t adequately tensioned for who knows how long.
I enjoy watching all of your videos. Keep them coming no matter how big or small. Also this was a good sponsored video.
Good video. Can’t believe they forgot the pin for the tensioner 🤦♂️ guess you can install the new one since you already bought it and keep the old one as a back up. Love that you’re staying busy with that new unit. 💪💪
That’s exactly what I did
@@CaseyLaDelle always good to have an extra belt. 👏
Was a good video and nice to see that it is sponsored by a free service to help other people. Keep on keepin’ on!
Most truck companies the exhaust treatment system cost them in buying the truck, maintenance and lost time. But for you its a money maker.
Fortunately my non emissions 1995 has been on the hook twice in the 18 years I’ve owned it and yes I work every day. Broken piston and broken driveshaft on a steep hill with the wrong gears and a loaded tanker
I towed for almost 10 years and I've always wanted to get in to heavy towing and I've learned a lot from watching your videos
Good afternoon Casey. Sounds to me like Trucker Calculator is an extremely useful tool. You have a lot of pokers in the fire Casey , I am glad that it is all working out for you at the end of the day. Thanks for taking is along and thumbs UP!!
Great sponsor. That is going to help out so many truckers.
Live from Gordys.
Casey , all great information. Thanks for sharing
That is a good program to have that keeps your book work for you all in one place!
Great information! Owner Operators like yourself are the Backbone of America and I thank you!!
May I suggest to you a great idea, hire a US Veteran to work while you are YouTubing videos? Vets need a good boss like yourself to get going.
Keep up the great work
i swear i learn something from everyone of your videos your a badass lol
god damn that new camera makes the image (and you) look good!
I am not gone run, this is the way i can help you and support you and all the good you are doing ! Maybe is only little, but i do what i can..
if you get sponsors good for you this show is dam good you come across as a honest human
So, being a small business operator, you'll have a tremendous annual amount of IRS deductions over many future years. Big numbers! Turbo Tax did all my calculations for my business. It didn't track the data truckcalculator provides.
Nice thing about beeing a truck driver ( although here in europe it's a lot different than there) is being alone not arguing with colleagues or whoever. Not nice thing about beiing a truck driver is arguing with literally everybody else on the road who seems to not see you even if you're by far the biggest thing on the road and they cut you out each roundabout 😆
Happy to watch the big truck run because we know these are double income stream opportunities for you.
great vid an excellent plug, am a big fan of sponsors myself cause they help make the magic happen
Never a dull moment at the parts counter.
Casey Prayers for you and yours
