    When buying a truck, #1 consideration is how much money it will put in your pocket. What it looks like doesn't even make the list.

  • @raykrv6a
    @raykrv6a 8 месяцев назад +5

    You are on the right track. You increased your take home and paying off debt. That's huge. Great way to live. Me, I would look at Vinyl Peel and Stick flooring at Home Depot. Cheap and water, salt, etc. won't wreck it.

    I’m gonna say this, you’re one of the realist that I’ve ever seen to do it I appreciate you so much. I appreciate the fact that you’re honest and that you don’t try to glamorize this whole industry like everybody else do on RUclips making it look like they making 300,000 for the year you’re Making an honest living bro I appreciate you for that. Keep trucking hold it down cause that pig gonna look pretty and lipstick.

They chargin 1k week for truck note OUCH. And that’s on those numbers imagine if you ran crazy and had a 12k week truck would be 2-2500 a WEEK? Everybody offering ANY kind of Lease is pimpin.

    @kendellpeterson1330 8 месяцев назад +2

    You sir are a smart man , and from what I have seen in your videos you have been making very wise decisions. I agree with your choice to buy a cash truck because #1 you are keeping your over head low especially with today's rates #2 you are enjoying all of the benefits of Landstar maximizing your earning potential equaling more money 💰 on your settlements which by the way are looking awesome for being home daily. I started Landstar with a truck already paid for, and I also worked for a fleet owner out of fortworth Texas that took 50% of the nets so I know the pay differences and I applaud 👏 you for getting an awesome truck that's mechanically sound and paid for. I don't care what anyone says about how it looks. Remember looks don't make no money. I wish nothing but the best for you and your beautiful family keep moving foward.

    The shipper pays the broker..the broker takes 10 percent then sells the load to another broker who sells it to landstar. Landstar takes 35 percent then pays a company who takes 25: percent while your paying for fuel maintenance and payment. Your left with scraps so you have to live in a junk truck. See the problem! $15,000 week pays you 2900. Go get your own authority.

  • @geofftuck3364
    @geofftuck3364 8 месяцев назад

    Good on you, a wise decision to buy the FLD, a few months & you can restore & upgrade the cosmetic's out of the extra income as you wish, a much gruntier truck, & will do up nicely. On another note with the recent truck driver shootings & robberies, do you carry a weapon for self defence? as some of the places you have to park overnight, seem to look quite dodgy to me. Take care out there, & be safe, cheers.

  • @ben6119
    @ben6119 8 месяцев назад

    You made the right choice 100%. I wouldn't have bought the truck you did because its so rough but it does seem to run really well. If I got back into trucking I would buy an older truck with a Detroit and refurbish it and run it. If you can work on it yourself or have handy friends you won't spend nearly what a note costs to keep it going. Your numbers show how hard it is to make a living with a high truck payment in this market.

    @Twister-10228 8 месяцев назад

    Good video, No truck debt is best in the long run, might want to put the rubber boot on the shifter screwed down semi tight to the floor, even if temporary to keep the fumes of the road, engine, transmission breathers venting into the truck cabin can get you feeling like crap. And remember to put back a regular normal maintenance account for tires...etc and extended maintenance program savings account for those big issues of replacing a transmission or rear-end or some major engine work. Keep the rubber on the road.

    Watching from over the pond in the UK ,did the Owner Driver thing myself many years ago and am totally behind you with what you are doing.You can’t run before you can walk and what you are doing is not a backwards step, it’s just the start of going forward at a pace you can control and the truck you have chosen is fine and is going to get better with the plans you have to trim the interior and eventually get a spray job on the outside in your preferred colour scheme.Wish you well and luck in the per suit of your dreams and will continue to watch you grow 👍
