I thought running south east only pays better, but not as much miles but good enough to stay alive. That guy Just Truckin,,guy Jayson does well be he's a total O/O driver. I always felt lease truck drivers get screwed too much. Big overhead for just a truck rental if you think about it
Great to see your new venture continuing and I guess we'll get some different videos as you'll be driving to lots of random places. If the lease company charges 13 cents a mile, roughly how much does fuel cost per mile (on average of course)?
funny to see you saying heavy load while im legally driving a 168000 pound log truck combination here in Finland. world's just different here and there.
Hi Rusty remember the one rule to success in the trucking industry. Drive slower if you have the time on the log to get there in time. Saving fuel is the name of success. I run 60 on the cruse always retired before my 60 birthday 37 years of trucking 30 as owner operator. Good Luck and keep the rubber on the pavement
I was thinking the same! If Rusty didnt need to get there until Monday morning, I'd have driven there REALLY slowly to save fuel. Boring if you're used to driving at 70 but free money in your pocket!
Rusty I love watching your videos. Way too old to do it myself but my father in law and brother in law drove until their life ended but it always intriged me. Carry on and I will keep watching.
Hey Rusty a little word of advice I know you have a couple of years under your belt but make sure you check to see how much your picking up before you top off your tanks because if you're heavy on the nose 2 full fuel tanks are going to put you over on your drives.
hi Rusty, I am from Eritrea and I really enjoy your videos, specially the countryside beauty of nature when you drive through. one day am gonna come to the US.
Figuring 6 mpg plus mileage of .13. Cost you about $730 for the load, plus whatever you are paying for the truck and insurance. So you made better then $2200 for the load. Pretty good money.
Would be nice to see a monthly budget... How much it costs for Lease and usage, wear and tear, gas etc... for one month divided by number of paid miles for the month... to know if your cost is $1.75 per mile or $2.80 or whatever... then knowing how much an individual load paid would have more meaning.
Well your truck will consume more fuel of course that heavy load and that pay rate is pretty decent! As long as you don’t have to go cross the states with pricey fuel! I sometimes have load that paid up to $4.25 $4.5 but that’s quite rare! Anyway you did a good job man!
Great video, i love your videos, could you do a video about the total cost incurred in a truck in terms of fuel consumption, insurance covers,tyres and truck services cost per load or per month
walked away from my computer so all i heard was rusty saying he gets paid good for taking big loads, and he has to check for pti's before each load i was like holy shit rusty is being pimped out 😆sorry stupid joke i know
Hey rusty you take a plastic shopping bag and hook the handles on each arm rest in between the seats and you deuce in it it’s the trucker secret you can double it up for the super deuce
Wouldn't buying a semi truck be cheaper? Then even though you have to pay for the repairs the lease part is gone and the truck is truly yours. I found some sleeper semis with about 600k-700k miles for less than $20,000 so check em out!
I’m starting to enjoy following you. I’m looking at retiring from an education career and always wanted to experience truck driving: two kids in college: not sure if age is a problem. You mentioned that 100,000 miles a year is pretty good. Would that only be about $40k to $50k a year driving for a company? Also, when you have ‘layovers’ I know you can drive to stores, etc. with the cab. How would you explore outdoor areas like hiking, going to parks, etc. ?
I pay for it. Need write offs anyways. I only weigh it once and I don’t reweigh again because I already know what weight moves how much per hole in the tandum area
@@TheRustyCracker you're in my neighborhood...maybe you'll end up at the Southeastern terminal at Port Allen and when you get the Volvo straight...u should put some Durabrights on it!!! And your right...it's hot as a ISX after a load through Missipissy!!!!!!!
How to get a job Just got my cdl and learned my own and went to private place where they thought me to drive cdl and got my license now hunting for job could u give any advice on that please
You want heavy? I'm in Canada and we are allowed 52000ish lbs (and that's without spread axels) on tandems and 72000ish on triaxles. Very rarely haul less than 40000ish lbs .
As always really good videos. I think you should upload more often. :) Also, do you take a request? That moving the rear axles, you showed how to release them but then went on with other things. COuld you may show the full extent of it with how it operates and how it affects weight distribution sometime? I mentioned it to my friends but cant find the video where you actually did the whole process. Ive never seen it before you showed it. We dont have that here so it would be nice to be able to share a video and show others. Its a excellent feature. Thanks for a good vid. :) /Tony
@@TheTruthseeker707 Fom the heaviest axle you substract the other axle . The result you devide by 2 and the result obtain you devide by 250. Wat you got is the number of holes you need to set your pins. I hope you understand. I will give you an example: Steer Axle 11980 Front Axle 26880 Rear Axle 29820 First you do 29820-26880=2940 Than 2940:2=1470 Than 1470:250=5.8 This is how many holes you have to move the pins. The weight presented were legal you could drive like that but the truck was not balanced. This is the reason that the tires blow. Even if you are legal weight always balance the truck. Don't leave it like that , when trucking never live things " it's OK leave it like that I guess" never guess..
What did you guys think of the load rate? Good or not that great?
Owner operators that haul for ups get around 2.25 to 2.50 a mile
I thought running south east only pays better, but not as much miles but good enough to stay alive. That guy Just Truckin,,guy Jayson does well be he's a total O/O driver. I always felt lease truck drivers get screwed too much. Big overhead for just a truck rental if you think about it
Not bad but you probably need a little more money

same here. 34.5meters max lenght and weightwise 100ton. but those combs are driving on certain roads. 76ton is max for forest drivable combs.

I'm totally agree with you guys.If you drive with 60 miles instead 70 miles it saves about 20 percent of fuel.Witch is really good in long term.
The thing by the front bumper that you took off, is an air dam it makes the truck more aerodynamic which saves fuel
Rusty I love watching your videos. Way too old to do it myself but my father in law and brother in law drove until their life ended but it always intriged me. Carry on and I will keep watching.
The front end looks much cleaner without that make shift spoiler attached.
100,000 miles is, WOW! And I like that you caught the truck getting to 500,000 miles.
Hey B9BOT1 how are you?
@@JavealF good

He's probably on his own rig atm :) Also, that rental could have 5th wheel all over the place ;)
Thanks.. that's great advice
Thanks, I enjoy your vids. Very informative and enjoyable. Good luck!!
Are you gonna use the Volvo yourself on the road when you finish the rebuild?
Yes, keep the videos coming!
Good thing the tire did it in the parking lot and not on the highway.
hi Rusty, I am from Eritrea and I really enjoy your videos, specially the countryside beauty of nature when you drive through. one day am gonna come to the US.
19:01 I'm so surprised to see that even Americans do Re-threading kind of stuff...We got truckers who do so,most of the time...btw,I am from India 🇮🇳
You stayed at the Loves in White House, TN it looks like! I live off the last exit on I65 right before you enter Kentucky.
I stayed there once...witnessed 2 trucks getting smashed in the same night. Damn that place is a mess.
Even tho it's not your truck, some wax or rain-x on the windshield works wonders in the pouring rain. Takes the stress off your eyesight.
Always enjoy your trucking videos Rusty.

good you removed the ugly airdam, thank you for the video again! Greetings from Finland :)
Enjoyed the trip,fuel prices are going up everywhere.Everyone is increasing prices to compensate for fuel inflation.
Annnnd NOW. 6months later look how it is 😬
your my fav trucker on youtube!

Hey rusty you take a plastic shopping bag and hook the handles on each arm rest in between the seats and you deuce in it it’s the trucker secret you can double it up for the super deuce
What if its squirty type deuce, hes gonna soil the arm rests. He needs some plastic wrap too and lysol just in case
Seriously? That’s funny! Shopping bags almost ALWAYS have holes in them.
@@jimmock1155 Good point ,might be better off with a large hefty trash bag so the deuce can fall where it nay.
You have a good pronounce of english. I'm learnig foreign language by your videos. Thanx
Where have you leased ur tractor? I’m looking something.
Awesome video quality 👍

Bro just wondering who you broker thru
Did you establish your own LLC before embarking unto your own operator driving?
Love your video's m keep making them thanks for the good information
Which brand gps do you use, and how well does it work for you?
Another great video Rusty ! Appreciate all the details on e rate and mileage , keep up the great content!

That grey bottom piece of the bumper is probably for fuel - aero dynamic
Aftermarket taco bell 🤣🤣
He probably deleted it from his body with the quickness
Did you drop off that first load by the airport in hammond? I go there quiet a bit to pick up transformers for my company
I’ve always
wanted to ride cross country in an OTR truck.
Do trucker use specialize gps map for routes?
How much fuel did you used for this trip?
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there 👍😀
Thanks for the video Rusty, drive careful, God Bless..................................see ya
Hate the regen / Def systems .... hrnse why my truck got deleted ... plus it increased my fuel mileage an power out put after
$3500 is the rate con? or after keen takes their cut?????
Great!!! I have friends in Baton Rouge, Louisiana!!!
Keep on with this type of videos buddy ! Really interesting and catchy 🙏🏻
Who pays for the scale ? Do you have to pay twice after re scale after moving tandems … what was the cost ? 👍
U pay 12.50 for the first weight and 3 dollars for the reweigh.

So just a random question.. that new semi your rebuilding. How come you don't fix it up for you and use that as your truck?
Because he needs to get some money first?
Love to see rusty being successful 💙
Just be safe on the road
Great video as always! Greetings from India, Rusty!🙏
Who are the folks that you get your LED headlights from?
So when you get your Volvo rebuild on the road again will you be using that versus leasing through Ryder?
How to get a job
Just got my cdl and learned my own and went to private place where they thought me to drive cdl and got my license now hunting for job could u give any advice on that please
a question Rusty, have you ever done anything else like a Flatbed/Dry Van or a step deck trailer before or you going to stick with your reefer?
I don't know what videos you've been watching but that IS a dry box. That's all he's ever pulled and he has enough problems doing that!
@@MikeBrown-ii3pt ok i don't know about trucking? i don't drive i wouldn't know sorry i thought it was reefer..........
And 500k sounds like it's just in time for an inframe. And the one-box lol....but 12mpg is looking sweet!
2019-2021 cascadias are being recalled for faulty steering. You could lose control and crash. Stay safe Guys
Pretty sure he said his is a 2018
Yeah I know I watched it on a different video I thought I’d let people know
Hi... Love your work.... On this cascadia....what is you mpg ....
You want heavy? I'm in Canada and we are allowed 52000ish lbs (and that's without spread axels) on tandems and 72000ish on triaxles. Very rarely haul less than 40000ish lbs .
I run from Texas to Ohio many times
69mph limit 🤣👌👌
Do a video explaining the weight balance on the trailer! The crazy guy at the place I worked at used to do 100k miles a year in a tow truck!
No he didn’t. That’s an average of 273 miles per day. Every single day. No days off.
Rusty you mean RECAP FOR THE TIRES 🤣👌 I guess it’s same
Please do a video on per load vs per CPM
nice to see you russty
I hope you good lake 👍👍👍
Rusty : it is a waist of fuel blur, blur blur
How much do you pay for truck beside per mile charge?
@Summer Flaherty ???
@Summer Flaherty oh thank you 😊
@George Hirchert no
@George Hirchert because I found out from another person
When walking around the truck and checking tires, I think it would be easier to use a hammer than wearing runners and kicking tires lol, just saying.
He’s a professional steering wheel holder
@@ssoltys4128 And that's all, for myself I rather be grinding the gears
@@ssoltys4128 do some professionals lick the steering wheel?
Throw some RainX washer fluid in there. Almost no wipers needed after few jugs!
Same switch gear to my Mercedes Actros!
Where is that company's main office? Good contract with Ryder for 13cpm? What do you net a week?
I'm learning on these videos
That front spoiler is for fuel economy. I have to wonder how much it drops with it gone

Awesome video. Love your style ✌🏻👌🏻👍🏻💙💛
I think you should get your Freightliner fixed and start driving it so you dont have to pay lease fees and pay per mile fees.
Please let me know if you want the formula for fixing your weight per axle exactly.
What is the formula?
@@TheTruthseeker707 Fom the heaviest axle you substract the other axle . The result you devide by 2 and the result obtain you devide by 250. Wat you got is the number of holes you need to set your pins. I hope you understand. I will give you an example: Steer Axle 11980
Front Axle 26880
Rear Axle 29820
First you do 29820-26880=2940
Than 2940:2=1470
Than 1470:250=5.8
This is how many holes you have to move the pins. The weight presented were legal you could drive like that but the truck was not balanced. This is the reason that the tires blow. Even if you are legal weight always balance the truck. Don't leave it like that , when trucking never live things " it's OK leave it like that I guess" never guess..

Lol, over share with the taco and the poop comment. Totally get it though.
3,500$? That is a driver month payment in Sweden
I didn’t get 3500$ in his pocket. He have to pay for the lease, fuel, wear and tear on the truck etc.
