Your The Fucking Man! Hometime and Make Good money! Some people can't grasp the understanding. This is how you can conquer both and still get too see your old lady!
Once truck is paid off that will be an extra $600 more a week. People always forget that.
It's a lease.........
Zak Mozdzen prime give you a lease to own option
Once truck is paid off it starts breaking down trucks have a 3-5 year life span these days and 5 years is a good truck and still probably won't pass any new inspection laws
You sir are by far the most articulate Vlogger going right now. Thank you for the solid info.
most I've ever made was 33k a year before taxes and I was happy. 57k take home is more then enough for some.
He said the 57 was before taxes. That's a huge variable.
doing my application tomorrow, thanks for all the advice.
Thanks for sharing. All of us have to make choices based on our priorities in life. You have done so, and are happy. That is what matters. In the long run, time spent with family well outweighs some extra income.
You and I are damn near the same. Age wise, family wise (although I have 3 teenage kids) and chose to have a driving job that gets me home each night. I get weekends off, and 17 years with the company that I work for, 26 paid vaca days and 10 paid company paid holidays. My yearly income now after this many years is about 62 grand. I am a company driver though so I dont have to concern myself with lease payments or insurance. I did at one time about 5 years ago, had an opportunity to drive for walmart. After one week or orientation, I turned them down. Basically I didn't want to miss out on my family. I've still lured by the thought of making 20-30 grand more per year, but I'm going to wait till kids are in college and wife cant stand me being home. LOL
Good job, thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
System flatbed daycab socal dedicated Lowe's 78k a year 5days a week ....switched to james j williams bulk washington state, 96k a year daycab 5days a week...company driver btw
You would be amazing on a radio talk show!
Love that name.
good video...thinking about coming over to run tanker...stay safe
Thx for sharing, love honest folks.
As long as your happy, that’s all that matters, but that’s company driver money
This video is over 5 years old. I made over $81k this year 🤷♂️
thank you for talking about taxes
I'm happy too, I could be happier. I think? Thanks for sharing. On a more serious note, how about them Seminoles.
You can go to work for Sysco be home every night and weekends and make 90,000 a year. As a company driver.
You do realize that this video is 5 years old, right? And that pay across the industry is much higher now, right? I made around that last year and didn't have to touch a pallet once 🤷♂️
Good to you, too many of us chase the dollars instead of family. That is a respected amount of money to be home everyday
I think that is a very respectable income considering you are home that often and still get the quality family time ....good for you !

I’ve been watching your videos a lot! I really would like to go tanker with prime but I cant because I live in Montana! But I still like watching your videos!
If you are happy with what you are doing and with what you are making then it"s no ones place to tell you anything about how to live and run your life ,I'm fine with it if you are happy,kept on trucking man hope you the best,Good day.
Doesn't matter how much money you make. When you take your last breath it's all gone anyway.
Good video & That's not bad at all... 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Very Good Money.
I agree your ok with the revenue cause your home every night & that has its own value .. however your fortunate to live near the terminal & the odds of that happening to anybody else are low ..thanks thou. for the info
well, I live near the terminal because I moved there after starting. not because I "lucked" into it being near where I live.
Looks good too me:) I don't have an enormous monthly overhead, be working, go, go, go Prime. Does Prime train newbies/rookies?
man that's good for that home time I stay out 3 months at the time
And how much do you make? Who do you work for?
What is your best advice to get a started off as a truck driver. Do you think going rhrough a company and getting paid cdl trainijg is better than paying for training out of pocket?
Hey man that pretty good pay, im on the road and the differences its not much..
Who do you work for? Truckers need to share specific information in order to increase wages. And yell the truth. Change your RUclips name of that's a concern
You only made $57,000??? I make that every WEEK as a local driver....AND I get home 3 TIMES a night!! (JK...But you know somebody is gonna say something like this.)
Ronald Jones lol
You make $57,000 a week. Put that up with statements.
@@KENAHIGHLANDER We call that sarcasm. Ie: it was a joke.
what do you put away for retirement?
I'm a first time viewer. A) Great information and thoughtfully put together B) Your logic is solid, C) if you want to make more $$ really, here's my advice having been in the radio and TV business, you have a great set of pipes! Instead of watching college Football you should be broadcasting it. Hell you could be the next Keith Jackson, Please say Whoa Nellie just once. But back to trucking, thanks much for the videos, very helpful to someone contemplating the industry. All the best.
Thanks for watching. I spent 17 years in sports radio before I started trucking. I make way more now than I ever did in radio
What market(s) were you in? See I knew you had the pipes for it and I am comparing you to Keith Jackson in my opinion. I'm thinking about the kind of gig you have in trucking, it is a good gig especially with family. I have 5. @@JohnOgren
@@AlbertMaruggi nothing big. Grand Forks, ND & Traverse City/Petoskey/Cadillac, MI were the biggest
@@JohnOgren you got me beat, Dickinson, ND, Kearney, NE, Scranton, PA - all TV news and video :)
@@AlbertMaruggi I did a (very) little TV. Spent several years in Bemidji, MN & did some of the college games when the regular guy had other obligations. It's a great career, it just doesn't pay well. Maybe I should have gotten into voice over work... I have a friend who I hear every now and then on national stuff
Hey sir, I've watched nearly every one of your videos and then watches videos about other trucking companies and yours by far are the best. I have a quick question. I am currently Active Duty Air Force, and my wife wants to move back to Seattle area when my enlistment is up in a couple years. Does prime take drivers from Seattle area? Are there routes over there or would maybe a residence change be beneficial in the long run. Thank you
Justin McKern first off, thank you for your service! I am told reefer gets out to Washington state fairly frequently, but we do not in tanker. please let me know if you have any more questions
John Ogren From the research I've done, it seems Midwest to east cost is the most profitable for short huals. Do you know anyone who does RUclips videos of West coast States that may give a little more insight on the business over there? Thank you
Justin McKern I have to admit that I don't. sorry!
John Ogren Thank you sir, I appreciate it, and I am looking forward to more videos!
I’m at Hirschbach when my truck paid off I’m coming to prime
Just wondering do you feel you could do otr in a lightweight?
Martin Vermilion I have done some limited OTR in the LW truck. Its not ideal, but it is doable.
When you say you go home every night, what time do you get home?
Jerome Foster every day is different. Today was 1pm. Yesterday was 4pm. Tomorrow should be around noon. Sometimes it's midnight.
When you don’t have a load how does that work ??? Do you get some type of pay ?
Yes. Layover pay starts after the first 24 hours without a load, not including weekends.
Do you have an approximate figure you can give for your weekly truck related expenses/taxes?, so we might have a better idea of your net take home weekly money?
daniel lack I usually set aside 30% into a savings account each week for taxes
BTW Congrats on the 18 or 19 yrs of Marriage...We just celebrated 15 in July...Today's society is unheard of seems like
thanks. the wife and I don't believe in divorce. sometimes we argue. once or twice we questioned that belief. in the end, working it out made the most sense. wasn't easy, but was the right thing. not enough are willing to do what's right when it's not easy
AMEN Sir...told my wife only way out is in a pine box, We never go to bed Angry, we stay up and work it out. Had a few sleepless nights. her Grandparents made it to 57 yrs, her parents are approaching 40, My parents are at 48 yrs....
+John Ogren the statement amount you showed is that after truck pmt and expenses?
yes
sorry to be off topic, what's the difference between an o/o and an independant contractor?
o/o, you own the truck and trailer, have your own operating authority, and are completely independent.
independent contractor, leased to a company, operating under their authority, hauling their freight. with your trailer or theirs.
lease operator, lease the truck from the company, haul their freight, their trailer.
Hope this helps.
Hi i m from india .what is a process driver job apply .
First off, you need to have a US based driver's license, otherwise Prime won't even consider your application. Once you have that, click on the link in the description to this video and apply
So, you have to lease your truck from prime to break 55k/yr? Isn't leasing more for their benefit or is Primes leasing a good deal? More than 1 day off per weekend would be nice but I guess you get a lot of holidays off
IPman never been company so couldn't compare
@@JohnOgren wow, you just dove into a lease without knowing if it was better net pay? You got bawls amigo🤙...did you at least have ooida review the contract for you? I guess that do it free for members with a $45/yr membership. Congrats on your good job btw!
Did you start trucking career in tanker
Yes
I don't think I make that in 3 yrs...now that bottom line is that AFTER Expenses? Truck payment Fuel ETC?
Correct
damn bro what do you do that you dont make $57,000 in 3 years? thats only like 19,000 a year or $365 a week average.
+Claudio 20 years ago, my first job in radio paid $1000 a month, $12,000 a year. now, that WAS 20 years ago, but those jobs are out there that
@@Claudio-vh3spmany EMTs don't make fast food wages unfortunately, good job trying the truth fire EMT
If you don't mind me asking, is your total income excluding the cost of your lease? Im sure lease varies depending of type of truck? What is the cost of your lease?
Sarah Kitts correct, that's minus all expenses including lease. Mine is $844 & yes, it depends on make & model
About 165$ per day before fuel. Its expensive but the money is there
how many hours a day?
Depends
im an owner op and i love it so if you have any qestions wright me and ask il help you with anything
How much you net/year, how many years have you been driving and what companies do you like the best for oo or company driver? Who do you work for? Truthful Truckers need to share specific information in order to increase wages. Thanks in advanced
Have you heard any positive or negative word about roehl??? i am gointo start with a company and just curious of any chatter about them by you guys aldeady out there?
Papa G I drive for Prime, that's who I offer opinions on
Are your tanker loads Hazmat or just food stuffs?
Jim Lahey ruclips.net/video/mHS7aVq9NVg/видео.html
John Ogren
Thanks John. One more question, I'm eyeballing prime as the main company I want to join when I get my CDL. I've been a student at university for a long time (but it's gone down hill the past few years which is why I'm hopping out to get a CDL - studying physics absolutely massacred me).
I've been working on the parent's farm between semesters with lots of time using tractors or a highlift. So my employment history isn't very diverse or even on the record since I'm paid under the table. Do you think that might get me excluded from joining? I'm sure it's more appropriate to ask a recruiter, but wanted to hear your thoughts.
Some people have said don't sweat it, others seem to imply it might be an issue. Papa bless.
That is good money for being home every night. I would like to duplicate that in my home state.
look into an LTL carrier like XPO Logistics
In 2017 I grossed 178k but after expenses I netted about 30k. Not good😭
Damn, You're Being Sarcastic Right ?
@@tez_foe4382 wish I was. Real numbers😲. Did a little better in 2018 but not by much. Filed bankruptcy in 2018. Truck repairs just about ruined me. And it was all the DEF system. Spent 90k in 2017 on truck repairs. What a fuckup!😭
@@Silvervwolfee , Damn. Bro, Maybe You Should've Got An Older [ Reliable ] Truck. These New Trucks & Vehicles Are Very Expensive To Get Fixed.
@@Silvervwolfee sorry to hear that
I live in Michigan like you used to. Just outside Lansing. As far as you know, are there dedicated routes for Prime that would allow me to possibly have what you have home each night with my family.
Tony Padilla every night? No. Every weekend? Sure. Same as what I do
Are you company or are you leasing a tuck?
Alfredo Portales did you even watch this video? the answer to your question is in the first 45 seconds... smdh
dose prime tanker have baffles in them
no
Straight tube.
@john how long does it take to pay off the truck?
It's a lease, not a purchase plan
So its not lease with option to buy?
@@manuelpadilla4151 you have the opportunity to purchase if you want, but your not paying towards purchase unless you actually commit to a lease purchase option
@@JohnOgren understand now i was under the impression you was buying your own truck sorry about that. Btw i love the vlog bro keep it coming.. im in school now im almost done. I live in jersey so many companies hard to choose
There are guys driving a transit bus who are home every night who make over a hundred grand a year with O.T. Conductors for railroads make over 40 dollars an hr. You can keep your 57k.
Where are those bus driving Jobs, and good luck getting on with a railroad. Tried numerous times with an "in". And even if you get on, they start you part time and on call
Let's split a truck together?
What truck do you drive?
Stee Rike 3 this is my current truck
ruclips.net/video/H8BIDaC1ZZw/видео.html
nice. are there any terminals in illinois
Stee Rike 3 no. refrigerated has a dedicated in Olney, IL though
do you have instagram
Hahaha thanks
I am a welder and I made 140k last year with OT. Keep your truck. You truckers drive across America for plantation wages. You could make 57k a year managing a Pep-boys. No wonder this industry is always looking for people. There is no money in it.
Kenneth G there’s plenty money in it depends on who u drive for I’m a local driver and I made more than that
Kenneth G- how many hours do you have to work/week to make that as a welder, and what kind of job are you working?
Kenneth G
Ur full of shit. I know many welders even special certification needed for oil and gas piping. You dont make shit. . Stfu
I've known many welders and not heard of many making more than $20/HR except for underwater deep sea welders or gas and oil pipe union welders. Not that I doubt you, please explain more how and where to get such a job
Kenneth G you need to do some research lol
57,000 for being OTR? you make more local hauling fuel
Not OTR, pay attention
I'm happy you like not making money bro. That's only $1100 a week average. No taxes no insurance. Take out taxes what $700 FOR A LEASE OP. YOUR playing yourself. In home everyday but make $2000 A week bro. Thank for being honest
Who do you work for? Truthful Truckers need to share specific information in order to increase wages. And fast, since robot trucking is already happening. Sure backup drivers will be required for ten years but do you think that'll pay near as much? No. Change your RUclips name of that's a concern
$57k to haul fuel. Hell no!
Fuel? Who said anything about hauling fuel? 🤔
You can make more money driving a city bus. Fuck trucking.
Kenneth G as someone who drove a city bus before driving truck, let me say - Bwhahahaha! You're a moron
$1,100 per week before taxes?
$1,100
-330 taxes
-300 insurance
-accounting fees
= about $500 per week as a glorified owner operator. Wow! Good for you
Accounting fees are already taken out. I don't pay for insurance via my pay. That was year one, and four years ago. Adjusted for inflation, that's $1200 in 2019 dollars. Thanks for watching. I look forward to seeing all your videos on this and other topics.
John Ogren ok. actually accounting fees are the smallest part. ATBS charges $22.00 per week.
I don’t make you tube videos. I just comment on them.
I did the Prime thing so I feel I can comment knowing all the facts.
Although I don’t personally pull tanker, there are many local tanker company driver jobs in my area paying $70-90k per year that are home every night. Full benefit package and not killing yourself making Mr Low rich
@@tonyhippensteel3805 I mean, cool story an all. I made $74k last year. Home every night. Im sure as shit not killing myself as I have weekends off. I worked grand total of 7 hours driving 260 miles yesterday. I don't need "full benefits" as my wife is a federal employee with amazing health insurance. Still know "all the facts" and feel you are qualified to comment?
U still with prime > ? Lol. U can do better than prime by now since u got that exp.
I make more than that as a company driver
Brian Laforge didn't ask, don't care.
John Ogren lol
I worked for Con-way Freight which is now XPO Logistics making decent money as a company driver. But I also left that company. I learned money isn't everything you got to do what works good for you. I'd rather make a little less and be treated right then make more and be treated wrong. Not saying every terminal there will treat you wrong, things may have changed in 8 years too. When I quit in 2010 pay was 53.3 cents a mile top drivers were in the 90-100K range. Now I'm working 4 10's home every night in a house that's paid off couldn't be happier only making 52K
What company do you work for now? and type of work?
PRIME PAYS SHIT ITS A JOKE
Sorry dude but that's embarrassing. You can make that kind of money in Fruit Store working 8 hours a day with two days off every week.😂😂
Road Runner riiiggghhht
Road Runner just so we're clear, $1100 a week at a 40 hour work week (which is what you think is achievable at a "fruit store") = $27.50 an hour. Find me any retail job that pays that. I'll wait.
@@JohnOgren if you happy with this good luck to you. I'm tanker driver and I'm working for the company. I'm not lease or owner operator I go home every day and sleep in my bed just like you. free medical benefits for whole family 3 weeks paid vacation 10 paid holidays 7 sick days, 401 pension plan $5000 that company contributes every year and much more and I make 100K a year gross as a compony driver. for the lease operator is way too low after you pay insurance and some more expenses what are you going to have in your pocket? Like I said if this makes you happy good luck to you my friend.
Road Runner 1) you still haven't offered a retail job that pays what you suggest in the original comment. 2) your job is unattainable for someone with zero driving experience. Apples are oranges hoss
BULL SHIT MOST PRIME DRIVERS LIVE IN THE TRUCK
You Neted about 35K for the year After all was said and done..
commonman80 sigh. Watch the video. Pay attention. $35k is January to August. $57k was August to August. 2017 was $72k (not in the video - just sayin). Okay? Okay.
That’s terrible
Lease program are garpage
What's a good company Brian? Who do you work for?
