It's not about how much you make. It's about that you do with what you make! Trucking should NEVER be your end game. Use it as a springboard for other investments. Multiple streams of income. That's how you get rich!
@@ButtmanAtHeart bro there plenty of room for all of us so don’t worry about it. What u should be worry about is big corporations tryna get in like real estate and others but yeah plenty of room depend what u investing in.
Man... Very good video.....a lot of people are either lying or misinformed about this industry. You have really shed a lot of truth of how it really is.
motivate by you bro... been in trucking for 4 years no accident... you jus give me some solid info .. in a short video... God be with you out there man.... be safe .. Thanks for sharing..
Thank for info bro I been driven since 02 I been in business for 2 years and learning it the hard way… well you made it a lil easier i am running power only since it’s been hard since that Covid crap but I won’t stop doing what I gotta do that fulfill me … power only im done with that gotta move up to flat bed any advice where to start for flat bed .. real talk money is funny but I will make a way
I guess I am a beast, I pulled my personal trailer with my truck from Denver, CO to Dallas, TX in one day. That's 790 miles and it took me 13hrs 42min, I only stopped to fuel up, pee and buy food.
Great video, Fairly new to this industry, but a fairly decent understanding of economics and labor, I don’t understand why people in this industry speak in gross numbers, even the recruiters do such. It seems that there’s a certain deceptive nature in this industry and I think it stems from this country’s reliance on individualism, GRQ mindset, and the lack of collectivism in this industry, paired simultaneously with a high turnover rate. One thing I’d recommend to someone who’s trying to start a logistics company, research 3 months at least first , consider collectivization and having helpers, consult w lawyer , accountant, and competitor consultant, and buy cash, keep operating costs MINIMAL and realize when you’re partnering or employed through your COMPETITOR , you will always be subservient to their rates
What a load of crap. The math doesn't add up you can't legally drive a semi 25,000 miles per month as a solo driver. Limited to 11 hrs per day driving + 34 hr reset each week. You would have to avg 900-1000 miles per day. Not legally possible as solo.
Grossing 600k is rich to some even after Net. If you don't have the overhead of a family house and cars then you winning. 300k puts you in the 10% of earners. Work the taxes the same as the big boys do and pay only 150-200k
I’ve been flatbed owner operator for 9 years, im leased on with System Transport. Grossing 500k a year, strictly trucking is very, very hard to believe. I know alot of owner operators none of them gross or myself get close to 500k gross. I gross around 300k every year and that’s strictly flatbed, no oversized. Lots of tarps… lots of hard work. 500k, not so sure about that one…
The only way I can see making that much in today’s market is a lot of direct freight from the customer straight to the carrier no middle man. Because I know for a fact doing straight flatbed, no oversized, you can gross $300,000 so bypassing a broker I can see it.
@@Ramonecainewilliamscorrect, 300-400k max. This guy either has brokers coming and giving him loads, or he’s driving illegally and when I mean illegally I mean where they drive over the weight limit.
I definitely get what you saying, good video man!!!!! I got 25 yrs in the game, running my own authority here just in Texas last few months, previously leased on before that just driving for some one else. Are you running regional or just up in down 95. Peace
That’s some unreal no proves, just numbers on the phone. As an owner operator with own company: there’s 9-12k weekly gross with 2 axle RGN trailer, minus avg 1700 a week on fuel, minus 3% factoring, minus 2k every week for future repairs and maintenance. It’s 5k a week (with 9k gross). 20k a month, minus insurance $1000. $19k a month after all expenses (if truck and trailer paid off) if they are not paid off it’s minus $5k a month conservative. Well we came up to $14k a month. It’s $168,000 a year. On RGN trailer where prices are from $3,5 a mile to $12 a mile. Now someone tell me, how tf he got a gut to multiply his earnings 4 times openly lying to gain audience to sell his “mentorship”? Actually I answered my question just above.
Part of this video might can get you in trouble becareful because me and my cousin used to do 22k miles a month as a team. If you did it in the month with no reset 7 days a week would be 892 miles a day which is legally impossible being you got 11hrs to drive. You a beast though to be able to drive like that I got 700 miles a day in me though.
I've done a lot of local reefer driving but it was mostly within a pretty short distance. I have maybe 5 months of single smooth tanker driving experience and I've been driving for Walmart for 5 months. So how much could I make if I worked for you? I've never driven flatbed and my Walmart job is regional but it's some experience at least.
I figured you was in bmore , I’m here now trying make it out failed air break test few times but it was all my mistakes and my teacher I’m going re take it but I would love to get some game from you I’m this industry , I know this game different out there but we raised for this here
600k is a lot for a 23 year old dude like me with no dam kids 😂😂😂😂 I’m getting my experience up in Amazon dsp after that trucking business I never been pulled once stuck with this mindset since a kid

@@MantimeHustle I’ve been flatbedding for 6 years straight. There is no way on ELD. There’s no humanly way possible. You’d have to run from Washington state to Key West, Fl without contraction zones, accidents etc... GTHOH.

Hey brother I'm getting into owner operator driving.. I'm convicted criminal and I've changed for better, I just need to kick in the door... I want to ask for some mentoring... I'll pay for your time... I just need a start and start networking with like minded people.
If you're making 600k (before taxes) a year, you will 100% become rich after 10 years if you do what you're supposed to do. Let's start out lighter at a 60k job. There are people living okay and saving up with a family on a 60k job. Just because you make 10x that DOES NOT mean you should 10x everything you do. You are literally in the highest tax bracket possible of any country except for maybe Saudia Arabia. There is no way your basic bills should be 5 figures a month, and just because you got it doesn’t mesn you should keep giving your money away. Those same people can get up and do for themselves as well. There is a difference between being generous and being stupid. This is the first video I've seen of you, so i don't know, but if you're coming home with 350k cash, no less than 150k of that should be in investments. You or your wife, or both of you, need to sit down and figure that out. If you put 150k in the S&P 500, in 10 years you should average a profit of 15k per year before taxes even if you don't put a single dime in it again. However, i would put at least 150k in it every year. After ten years if you decided to stop, you'll still have anywhere from 1.6-1.8 mill based on the basic 10% return consistency and the money you kept adding. And if you're at that rate and put in nothing else after, that 1.6 mill will pay you an average of a 160k (before taxes), every single year for the next 10 year period (despite ups and downs per year, for every decade, that decade averages 10-11% returns). You need to make a budget and not try to keep up with the Joneses, and not try to be an atm for your folks. This is exactly how people with money go broke. Invest, retire happy and allow your money to make money for you. Make sure your kids have an inheritance.
@jayb1911 yes I'm a driver and have owned a truck also....there's always something people aren't telling you when they throw out crazy looking numbers....
It's not about how much you make. It's about that you do with what you make! Trucking should NEVER be your end game. Use it as a springboard for other investments. Multiple streams of income. That's how you get rich!
stop telling people the secret! if too many people do it how will i get a chance to do it? i’ll be pushed out of the game lol

Whats good TruckKing85, sounds like one of my homeboys from Baltimore. We have a crazy accent . You must have driven County Cab back in the day.
I rather be selfish to be rich so I can help my people’s out later. Keep trucking my guy
Smart man
If you ain't Rich grossing 600,000 a year, you're doing something wrong especially as an owner operator
Baltimore accents are thick! Great content black man.
Grossing 600k and you down to 150k that’s bad money management. You need to invest that money into gold and real estate. Then you buy your luxuries.
Endurance! Perfect word these guys don't get it. Use your whole clock plus splits, the average sleep while the hunters hunt . Well said brother!
