This will come in handy if out on the road
That's why I stay single... $$$$$$$. Big mutha trucking money!
You can stay on the road all year long without having to worry about back home.
Stay single young cats, hustle hard, and stack up those racks.
Yessir 😎
Most Independent truckers don't keep up with maintenance.
They just Make that money $$$$$$$, fix it when it breaks.
The company I'm lease on follows maintenance plus a 90 day inspection
( level 1 D.O.T)
Thats how I stay rollin on the road.
To be honest, I myself don't know about these services my rig is required and sometimes I miss 1 or 2 things that are broken. I'm lucky they know what my rig needs to stay rollin strong like new and pass D.O.T inspection.
Every independent trucker needs a good honest mechanic to over look thier rig and help them know what service thier rig requires.
Alex!!! According to that one driver you interviewed..."it's always almost 💯% the drivers fault".
So glad you are interviewing "real" drivers with real life stories. Kinda reminds me of when your clutch went out a couple of years ago.
He sounds like he has his family priorities in order.
I'm single with no kids. Props to all you guys that make marriages/relationships work with an OTR life. I'd be scared of my girl cheating on me so that's why I decide to stay single.
Lmao 🤣 ... It's not that bad.
@@vroor32 The last girl I dated seemed like a job to me. I have an INTJ personality, so I kinda prefer being alone than having to take care of someone else and having to worry about birthdays and anniversaries and all the other stuff. My dad told me when you marry a girl you're also marrying her whole family.
I can respect this but as you get older you'll realize the old adage is true! If she is a cheater she'll find a way to cheat whether you're otr or working from home and around the house all day. But most definitely stay single for now and get your money and experience up. Go local and be home more!
But if you snag a cheater just know you working local isn't some magic fix! 😂😂
Just don’t get a hot chick, then you’ll really be worrying.
@@TheTinminator lmao 🤣... U not helping. Stop playing with this man's mind
Mover since 1977. Peterbilt and Caterpillar brought me to the top of the heap.Fast forward 2021. Still driving a Peterbilt with a Caterpillar.
You get paid good? What moving companies do you recommend for new comers like me
Hats off for having priorities straight. Wish you the best.
Homie said fxck buying chrome parts, and he in a chrome shop 🤣 the owners were like : 😑 oh we finna charge him more for the repairs now since he ain’t about to buy shit In here 😂
Aren't these Volvos notoriously expensive to fix? But you got your head straight brother Felix taking care of our tribe is what we do. Your gonna get through this and be smelling sweet on the otherside!!!!!!!
Not only that...breakdown after breakdown and poor and slow service from dealers.
Yep
I was 25k in the hole. Truck engine rebuild. Paid off over half in 2weeks of getting my truck back now im 10k in the hole. I told my self 1 month I will pay off this debt for the repair. And still able to cover home expenses... don't give up.
If he gross 500k.... why would it take him till the summer to get out of the hole of 17k?
Well, as good as moving is for a truck driver money wise, you can only do it for a short amount of time. It takes it's toll on your body and you might even end up spending a fortune getting back on your feet. It's not for everybody.
Don't the moving companies provide laborers for a fee? It will lessen your profit, but will be worth it.
Another great interview Alex’s! Thank you!!
You owner operator need to have a substantial emergency fund for this stuff
owner operators with emission new trucks. I can overhaul my detroit 60 series with $3000
Putting the Truth out there Bro 👍🏾
This show keeps me focused and motivated no matter what video I watch
Super cool dude, we’re the same age. I need to learn how to be laid back like him. GOD BLESS him and his family ✊🏾
If you are making such good money, buy a new truck with a full warranty, the truck will be paid for before the warranty expires. Being in the shop costs more money than a new truck payment and you keep rolling.
Balance, life is about balance.
Have you already done a video on what it's like to haul furniture? If not it would be real informative for those of us who've been hauling goods from the start. Would love to know the differences in your day to day, risks involved, best way to get into it, etc.
Wife taking all the repair money maybe💰👀🤔
Yooooo I’m not a truck driver but love ur RUclips vids can I still get a hat !!!
No Mutha Trucker
@@Royalewithcheesee 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm single, still young, and no pets(for now anyways). Haven't taken time off in a little over a year now. Been saving up to build a house and help my parents and grandparents out. My grandfather was a trucker for a long time, and my inspiration to do this job.
My mom and soon to be step-dad are stuck in California due to expenses. My grandpa and step grandma live out near Ogden and wanna get away from the snow and poor air quality. Then I just borrow my Grandmas address up in Oregon for my license, mail, and such. So after a lot of research and work, I'm looking at building one big house outside of city limits in Oregon for all of us. I grew up in a rural setting as did some of my family, so the last thing we want is to be stuck in suburbs. Need some peace and quiet, room to relax, have a garden, and maybe some chickens.
I've been hesitant about buying property just for myself being an OTR driver. Like who's gonna keep an eye on the place while I'm out on the road 4 to 6 weeks at a time. Having some reliable family around will help me, just as much as it'll help them. I may consider going owner operator even after I get me a place. But I'll just tackle one issue at a time.
This is exactly what these people
Don’t understand.
If you buy the wrong truck , you are buying the right to pay the repair bill at the dealer when it breaks. And believe me , they ALL
BREAK SOONER OR LATER.
Stop buying these junk trucks with def and regen garbage. And learn some mechanical skills. Learn to work on your own truck. Buy some tools, buy some books and start wrenching.
Don’t 08 and newer has def and dpf
@@edmondcarter9457 not exactly.
Some have only regen with the filter.
Cats had this crazy sot catcher contraption bolted to the passenger side of the motor and they just gave up.
It depends on the engine.
But they all had some bs in 08 and after.
But volvos in general are expensive to work on and parts are way over priced.
@@georgegeorgepht I just spent 400 on a start for my 05 vnl. It’s at the shop right now. I need them to find out why my engine and abs light is on, fix an air leak and adjust my brakes. I’m hoping it doesn’t cost as much as dude repair bill was. Drives fine just gotta pass federal inspection.
Yes sir that why I got me a 60 series Detroit
@@BigGeorgiaBoi that will be my next truck. This Volvo is the first truck I own and will be the last Volvo that I buy. I would like to find an older truck without a million miles tho. That’s hard to find.
For me was the double hit...truck broke down...never cheap but them that down time you dont make money...the ones making all the money is the shops and the road service
Everything can go great for Years,then you get too comfortable spending on other things.Next thing you know you have 3 or 4 big breakdowns in a row then your engine needs an inframe and boom thousands and thousands of dollars you're trying to come up with at once
First mistake is buying a Volvo !!
I said the same thing
Yup, got my 2000 t600 N14 500hp 3 years ago and I will never change it. I start every day at 1am im back home at 1pm . Super happy . Had a 2001 freighterliner N14 475 and had it for 3 years as well. Those old trucks make money.
@@Freyes2017 u damn right about that all these newer trucks break down real quick. My dad had a 96 freight liner daycab within a CAT engine that thing never broke down & my dad would go everywhere.
Detroit S60 and he would not be crying 🤣
Got a 03 century rebuilt at 1.3 million miles Recently, no problems ... no $Payments
Should've brought it to Nacarato here in Laverne TN.
I'll wait for Tesla OTR truck.Dont think I'll be able to handle breakdowns
They’re starting at an estimated $500,000 a pop. You could start a small fleet of brand new Pete 389s with that kind of money, lol!
Should of got a freight liner series 60 best engine in the world
ya rite ur close except the truck should be a pete and engine should be a cat
Detroit 60 series.
Detroit 60
There you go driver 12.7 and 60 are the best
N 14 the best and cheapest to rebuild
I have always heard Volvos are expensive in parts and labor...good luck.
Support your local chrome shop
Love you guy,best greetings from Germany 💪👍
I do my own ac work AC compressor Dryer and freon about 300 bucks or less. Ta cost to Munch but I have an old truck.
Yup. Me too. AC is too simple. Lmao 🤣
That is truth guys....some of this stuff should be done by owner op...belts, oil, greasing, alternator, ac compressor...etc
So true
Yes got to have that home time...
Hes broke because he wants to. He might aswell look for a local job
You guys some real HATERS 🤣.
Family first facts
Hey I would love to do a video for your channel about the pros and cons of going to a CDL school & how I got hired at 19 with no school training
Good interview let's get it 💪
Great interview!!🤙🏽
My 05 is in the shop now I’m hoping that bill won’t be expensive
reminds me of ice cube
Pushin freight like weight
Good lecture bro 😎 love it 🥰
Dude is right keep your woman happy, I'm single and I may be single for a while ,but the right women in your life is key even if it takes a to find the right one, and the right one will understand your job know a bunch of tramps will hit on you just to make $2 but at the end of the day they won't question it if they really love you
That his opinion about putting chrome on your truck
Good chanel. Salute from Canada.
Ps-how to start the delivery buisness? How to price the service? TKNS
Hey Asian mai thinking about trucking but have a family young kids kinda scared to leave the family but I really wanna be trucking what u think would b best
Do local work. Food service, ltl work pay best for local. You don't have to go over the road
@@MuthaTrucker hey man can you make a video about making others drive for you thatll really help
Listenin to yall bullshitting and talking about business makes me miss laborin for my Grandpas atlas franchises. But then I go do it and remind myself why i got away from it. Movers are the salt of the earth. I was just down there in south carolina visiting my grandparents and stopped by the warehouse. Some good dudes with tons of life experiences and stories. Be good, be safe. Hope 2021 treats you better Alex.
Salt of the earth, is that a compliment for how Humans needs Salt or Metaphorically All Bad!! People due to Salt can burn ya when ur CUT? Just not sure which way u are using the term "Salt of the Earth"
The fuel is going up so most individuals in the trucking game
Will run fast to get out
2weeks out and one week home you owe out your ass
And everything on the west
Coast, is going up fast .Good luck .
I bet 12k went to labor and BS Dynasty check
All these owner operators claim to make 300-500k per year but never have money to fix their trucks🤔 it’s 90% 💩 but go ahead buy your own truck and find out yourself. And btw oo for moving companies pay for their own labor cost and that 💩 isn’t cheap. Subtract that from 300 plus all other expenses and you’ll be lucky to keep 80k
Yea that’s because ppl get blown away from seeing all that money forgetting they have to save save save...that’s the key save save save ppl seem to forget that..smh
@@joeyporter3356 yea but all these videos focus on GROSS INCOME that is really misleading. And after that they tell you “net income” but the net isn’t actually net. It’s still before they have to pay taxes 🤦♂️ it’s all bull 💩. Overall truck driving will allow to live ok but that’s about it.
@@radekwe8681 I mean I see where you coming from💯 your right...
@Luis Gonzalez nice!! I made a bit less than you hauling gas but I can’t complain. I got respect for owner operators as well but imo it’s not worth the headache. As company driver you get better equipment and a lot of other stuff that you’ll never be able to as owner operator. There’s a reason companies push people to become owner operators and it isn’t because they love to give you all this extra money. Anyone that drives for a living for a while knows how many issues you’ll have with trucks. I drive 2019 and that has problems and it goes to the shop for weeks at a time. Under warranty but still if you own one and have to wait weeks to get it fixed you’re getting screwed financially.
@Luis Gonzalez I’m tryin to get where you at man I just graduated truck driving school 💯
Yo Mai!! You still truckin my dude?
no matter how it looks. you might make 500k. but if you are 17k in the hole you havnt made anything.
Thats what I was thinking, 500k .. 17k is pocket change.
There's no way he isn't overspending in his personal life when he grosses 500k and he is 17k in the hole.
the numbers that movers post is misleading. I know I'm one of them. he probably did 500k of work. but most drivers have contracts that pay them around 50% when its all played out. so he actually grosses 250k. also let's subtract all this expensive labor that could run you 50 to 70k per year. also truck payment ,fuel,insurance. realistically its more around 100k a year. wich many o/o can make a year pulling freight. the only real break you get is that you can pay off a truck and it won't be worn out. should be able to pay off a truck and have no more than 300k on the odometer. where a driver really makes money is when he is packing a job. but he will only get them when his agency can't cover the work with their own employees. since the virus these companies aren't moving their employees around. so they have discounted the line hauls so low that they are basically giving the usage away of the truck.wich they don't own , you do.
@@rexlarrick7075 O ok, makes sense. I dnt know why people do that, just show what u really make why lie trying to show $ when they broke af
in years past I have hit 550k ÷2. remember that's a false #. but those days I don't know if we will ever see those days again. just look on the highway. rarely do I ever see a mover relocating someone. if the money was so good still, why is this guy sitting in a chrome shop making videos instead of working.
This driver should buy the Hyliion Hypertruck. He'd probably be making bank if he had one.🤑
Hah. Funny guy. As if any sane trucker would want to buy some electric hybrid truck as an owner operator especially, they'll be paying triple what this guy is paying for his volvo to keep all that stupid hardware and crap fixed all the time. I get he has a volvo and that's not the best thing he could have went with, but a hybrid truck only leads to more problems than what that guys going through and he'd be having to stop and get his hybrid systems repaired so often he won't ever get out of the hole it'd be so expensive. Good mechanical diesels are what we should be running still.
@@robertgardner4508 I don't have anything against diesels, but they're going away just like the steam engines. Can you prove that a electric hybrid would cost more?
Moving or his wife,,,,,,,Teach us the game of money
💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯
Dam you a hard 43.
😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what trucking will do
Yeah, im staying single, cuz ill staying trucking!
Lemme grab a hat son
Im more than just a hard working labor.
It’s hard to take this interviewer seriously when he talks like a teenager that watches too many rap videos! (Identity crisis?) I’m from the hood but I don’t talk like this anymore because i found that intelligent people treat me differently because they think that my level of intelligence is lacking! & minorities think I’m “Pandering” & it comes across as disingenuous! Shakespeare said “Brevity is the soul of Genius” to be able to say a lot with just a few words!
YO YOU FEEL ME SON?! On the real real & thats the double truth--RUTH!
Very true.
Dam get 2 mic
😵😬😒 wowwwwww 😵😬😒
What exactly does he move? How can you get a contract job like his?
He will go bankrupt with that damm volvo first he will have injector problems then the transmission then it will be after treatment sensors then it will be the freaking bull gear right at 800k that will be about 15k then get ready for the cylinder head at that point just get an inframe it will cost lots of money I would suggest to do what I did get rid of it your savings will be gone specially the 2012 year model
If making enough Money, you can buy yourself a new Wife, in Venezuela you can pick them Latinochics for Nickels, so
his Thoughts are foolish.. 😂😂🇺🇸
I need to send you an email asap.. #firsttruck
This is what you get for buying a Volvo engine - otherwise known as - this is what you get for being stupid.
This dude come on inflating numbers
I don't think so. A tow truck is up to 2000 or more 130 an hour transmission is 5000 or more ac 1200 for new parts and then down time and paying someone else to come grab your load if it needs to keep moving. That is complete loss of income and the bills keep coming.
Who pays $9000 for a transmission....Please inform me
the truck owner , it happened to my friend , he paid 13000
@@badrudinhilowle5938 But how so....Transmissions go for $5000 max @ Vander Haags
He said burn up gears so it was low on oil he burned it up there's probably no Core clutch flywheel rear main seal labor. And that one might have coolers on it that would have got contaminated. I'm not sure
Because Freighliner using German Mercedes Engines.. Mercedes Benz makes the best Engines in the World the old Mercs Cars going 1Million Miles, my 2014 Sprinter got 245.000Miles and it hauls still great, only the clutch need wear out all few years. 🤔🇩🇪👍
Volvos are horrible
Don't forget aboutfirst it's God then if you're married second is your wife
Yah you shoulda got a older truck those new trucks are garbage there shiny pieces of shit I have known at least 10 guys that had a older truck and we’re doing good then they they got a new truck and boom next thing they know there out of business
