88,000 trucking companies went bankrupt in 2023. Those are almost all Owner Operator LLCs. My question is where did all those repossessed used trucks go? - WW
They don't realize everytime they take hometime, they are gonna go 2 weeks making no money. The week they take hometime, they are gonna be negative and when they come back, they gotta make up that negative and the base for the current week before they make anything. So that third week may not be a full paycheck either.
@@mikeduncan5932 When I was leasing it was always easy to come out the hole the following week and still take home a decent settlement . This was last year I’m talking it’s just the payments are alot more for the same equipment .
@@DopeStrings yeah that's what I was talking about. Those outrageous lease prices. When I was doing LP, my weekly cost was just under $1000. I couldn't imagine $1600 wk with these freight rates.
@cjackdar not really an e fund if you get behind everytime you go home. Even once a month you're still taking a hit. Most of these new drivers don't stay out that long. Leasing isn't a bad idea, leasing through a carrier is. There is leasing options that are similar to leasing a car. Those options usually have very affordable monthly payments.
Glad u finally saw the real. Prime drivers always say we hating when we just trying save them. Even if you want to buy the truck after your lease is over they still want to charge you 70,000 on top of what you already paid to complete the lease. That shit is not even worth it. It’s literally a scam. A legal legitimate scam ppl agree to.
Good video but I hate to say I told you sooo but nooo when I made my video about slime pac y’all tried to make me look like I was the bad guy. I don’t just pull these things out my ass. I’ve been down that road before so I can speak on it. But glad to see you coming into the light my friend
@@bigtime6man184 I don’t know anything about them but looks like they have older equipment based on their website no factory warranty . If no apu high engine hrs on the trucks. You would be taking a big gamble hopefully you have enough money in the bank for when things happen .
@@DopeStrings so you think grossing $140k to $200k and only being able to take home $60,000 after everything it's still making money. Okay if that makes you sleep good at night
@@bobnewhart4318 So prime only has 2 drivers that’s not even 50 percent of drivers . I made well over that leasing and I know over 100 more drivers that have made over that leasing . Lol
You the fool for tryna find the easy way out. Y'all jump on Prime and Landstar and those companies promising you the world while you're simply making them rich. Y'all better wake up.
@DopeStrings LOL, you sound dumb. If you live your life to make someone else wealthy, then you shouldn't be living at all. I work for myself. My goal is to make myself wealthy. This means that if I make you $100 but make myself $1000, then I'm accomplishing my goal. But you wouldn't understand that, which is why you made such a dumb comment. 🙄 Good work tho.
9 years at prime, less than a year left on my current lease, and I’m looking at other companies, this prime isn’t the same prime it used to be.
And truck prices are falling but they’re increasing lease payments? That’s just crazy

I heard that a new truck with prime plus an APU unit is 1,500 a week
ay cuzz finally cut that chia pet off😂 finally made it home huh big bruh??

Gotta have that E fund

Yeah it's crazy. You pay so much for a lease and they're going to put an inside camera in your truck on top of it yet to watch you screw that

If you do a lease purchase you don’t
Damn u got me thinking now
You’re right. Those weekly deductions are ridiculous.

How you feel about Blair leasing they saying 650-700 a week for a truck

Your better off going company for 60-70cent
I pay 1600 monthly for my truck 42 months
Tell me how i can get that!…lemme kno what to do
Y'all love to find out the hard way
What the hard way ? Drivers are still making money

@@bobnewhart4318 Who said the drivers are grossing that less and taking home that less ? lol sounds like you’re at a bad company I would leave
@@DopeStrings 2 Prime lease drivers yearly income statements said so including Clarissa Rankin and she's been at this for years

How much did u put down getting the truck from pedagree sales if u don’t mine me asking
@@obryantandsonllc2468 Almost 17k
@@DopeStrings ok that ant bad thanks for the info
If you can make it during these times leasing then when shit gets better itll be real good but i see what you saying
So 2400 and your truck gross 6k u still should be good tho
Its called a scam
@@jeremygriggs1333 it’s not considered a scam by definition
