I see all of these comments from people saying: “You’ll never make more than minimum wage”, “It’s not worth it. Just get a job in town”, “You will just end up with a worn out truck”. Bla, bla, bla…. I don’t think people get into RV transport to get rich. Seems to me that people do this for the freedom and the chance to live by their own terms rather than someone else’s. I see drivers pulling campers every day while I’m out driving for my current job. I have a hard time believing all of those guys are trust fund kids or military retirees. Personally, I envy you. Looks to me like you are happy with your choice to haul RV’s and you are doing what a lot of 9-5’ers like me wish we could be doing rather than working ourselves to death so someone else can live out their dreams. My hats off to you, sir. Thanks for making this video and inspiring some of us to just maybe step out in faith like you have.
@@davidoelker493 man this comment made me smile! You hit the nail on the head David. Most people talk negatively towards things they know nothing about. Guys aren’t born being able to pay for these $80k dually trucks lol. Thank you for your support 😊
Hey bro I ran into you at camping world in Chicago and I was the one that told you about unplugging your battery when you park in the evenings and you told me you were going to ur dads in Atlanta. Hope you’re doing good and making that cash. Anyway be safe and maybe will see each other at a drop off one day.
If you can run a long flatbed trailer and haul multiple units, you can make up to $2.50-$3.00 a loaded mile with the right broker. Hauling singles will keep you in the $1.60-$2.10 range.
First off happy Thanksgiving. Question? Do you think starting off with dually would’ve been more beneficial for the singles? I’m asking because I’m about to make a move and sense you’re a few steps ahead, what’s your recommendation on ground up start up?
Break downs, health insurance, truck replacement, maintenance, these things have kept me from starting this, I’ve figured it up and I can’t get it to add up to making enough money to cover these things and make a good living, most people I’ve talked to have another source of income or va healthcare or some kind of retirement pension, takes a lot of luck to start from nothing and make it in this business, I’m still planning on doing this business but I need some capital to start , good luck brother I’ll be watching your vids!
I wish u all the luck I’m in this game to but after all the expenses there is no way u will come close to 100 grand. That may be what u billed for but by the time u hold out all expenses ur looking at maybe 30-50,000 dollars profit a year
@@motozaye maybe CDL loads u can do better than that but non CDL loads at the rates there at now no way on 100 grand unless u lived on the road and u had a dispatcher helping us
@@shanenelms9740 no two situations will ever be the same. One driver can have a maintenance account that is full, one could be empty and constantly adding money. One driver could have a $1k truck payment, the other may not have a payment at all. Those two things alone are good for $20k annually minimum
In the end it is a cigarette money job. You will never make above minimum wage. Factor in all costs, including the required 50% dead-head (that means NO INCOME), and the worn out pickup you’re left with, it’s a waste of time and effort.
If what he is saying is true and clears 80ish k a year then he could put 20 back every year and replace his truck every 3-4 years if he wanted to. Still leaving him 60 a year. I don’t know about you but for me personally 60 is about a 20k raise and I have a ton of flexibility and freedom. I’ve never understood people who say you never make money driving your vehicle for work.

@@dirty16sierra72 absolutely thank you!!!
Being happy with what your doing far more important than money
@@recklessgarage couldn’t have said it better brother!
How can you be happy not paying your bills? Find something that rewards hard work AND makes you happy. IMHO.

This is my last week in my last job about to get laid off here thinking about doing this. Thank you for the video
