- Hey Everyone next video I will get into detail and explain all the questions being asked thank you for watching if you have any questions DM me on Instagram @j_vetum
I’m a truck driver too. I know how it is to drive all day and come home for 3 or 4 hours and do it all over again for 7 days. It will pay off at the end bro.
Nice bro and yes hopefully everything goes good
@Chris Ayala when all said is done it'll cost under 40k to buy a nice starter truck. I got a 2014 Cascadia for 36k with under 500k miles last August. Those lease programs will make you think everything is expensive outside of the program.
@Chris Ayala every truck needs maintenance tho. Pre trips and not beating the hell out of your truck will save you a lot on the breakdown side.
@Chris Ayala "yeah but" not everyone can afford a brand new truck. Especially if they're just starting.

Outstanding! I bought my first truck when I 19 years young. That was almost 40 years & over 5 million miles ago. I’d do it all over again. You seem like a great young man. Keep posting these videos & keep on truckin! Stay safe young man.
I just turned 20 is trucking a good plan ?
Thansk you very much !🤝
How did you buy your truck at 19? Aint they expensive and takes years to save up?
@@rickybotello4332 he probably worked since a Young boy especially in those times every young man coming up found someway to make money and probably with the help of relatives
Dan make a video of Your truck pelease
Don’t sell your truck bruh it will always be a reliable source of income, hire another driver and keep income coming in while your focusing on your main business when the time come.
I'm British but I live in North Africa. I'd like to buy a truck in the US and have someone reliable use it to make me and themselves money... how/where can I begin?
@@IvanAkinfiev post on indeed you definitely have to fly back and forth if you don’t have a family member or something here that you would trust
@@TheFutureEvents Can we talk on WhatsApp? What's your number?
You’ll know when you have somebody reliable. Most ppl in the south part are truck drivers and so is the east coast by Virginia. You’ll feel the vibe and when you fly and meet him or her, you’ll definitely know
Until they have an accident and don’t care for the trucks inspection and boom.
I started my trucking career when i was 23 now i'm 37 and it's been a hell of a roller coaster for me on this 14 years But one thing i must say is that all the hard work and ups and downs paid off at the end, Now i manage my company with a small fleet of 12 trucks and growing, the Rule number #1 that helped me becoming successful was, maintaining a good amount of funds on a savings acc for worst case scenario because eventually will happen and always be on top of your equipment because no mechanic no matter how good they are will look into it better than you.Good luck on your way to success.
To all you youngsters out there let me tell you something Truck driving is waaaay waaaay easier when you’re young specially in your 20s because once you hit the late 30s oh boy that’s where it gets harder because your body changes specially if you don’t take care of it you start getting all’s this blood pressure.. anxiety and all that stuff so my advice is try to do truck driving while you’re young and if you do it for a long run try to eat healthy and don’t do drugs and don’t abuse alcohol either Remember Being Healthy is just as important as having a clean Cdl license.
Thanks I’m 25 and I wanna drive trucks flatbed if I can just because I love to stay active
@@THA_ROCKET_JU Hi I know this is a later reply but go for it! Just take care of you body it’s a great long run I been driving for 40 years im 58
Very True, the body pain from trucking creeps up on You later. Great advice
Like any other job under the sun?
You're where I wanna be, and I'm 23. The only difference is I'd want my truck to have a sleeper on it too. Nice brother 🙏
I’m in ur exact same spot man I’m 22 turning 23 in April. I wish but I’m at the very beginning steps I don’t even have my CDL.
Yall gotta start somewhere a paid for truck makes the most money yall gotta remember that. It don't matter what is as long as the load gets delivered just don't buy new. Pay attention to auction trucks before going to a stealership then you'll know who's over charging.
@@bobbyboy1743 I’m 18 I don’t even got a drive license 😭🤣 I’m hoping in 3-4 years I’ll be ready go for a cdl
@@bobbyboy1743 same position as you going for my permit test this monday!! 🤞
I’m 22 years of age and gonna be 23 two months from now and I’m course to become a professional driver
Damm u look exhausted at the end of the day,,, but I bet it feels pretty good whn u see the total at the end of the month,,, Hard work pays off
Those are long hours.. I would prefer one day on, one day off . Sleep is important . But you’re young so you can do it for awhile. But always pay attention to your body. Nice video man.
Always someone whose not happy with someone else’s hustle hahah shit makes no sense. If the hours aren’t good enough for you I heard Mc Donald’s are hiring part time. Trucking/ hauling/etc ain’t for everyone. That’s why that industry has a high demand cause pussies need more then 6-8 hours of sleep per day hahaha
@@_2315_ Nice comment you're no better yourself, the guy was only giving his opinion. No need to be a dick about it, but there's always an asshole somewhere right ?
@@_2315_ you're a dumbass pawn while the broker is sitting in his a/c office while you're busting your ass to make him rich STFU dummy. The trucking industry is for dumb fucks, join the army they'll treat you like shit and tell you you're a hero sounds like you'd buy that bullshit story too.
@@thomasbeaudoingrenier4585 the world needs more assholes! And less pendejos.
@@chazmichael7967 check out homies older videos, I said the same thing. Brokers make way more and get more sleep then the drivers hahah. So if I would ever get into this industry it would be the companies who need drivers to haul their shit or become a broker so I can pick and choose how much a driver can really make 😈😂 stop being fucking sensitive fucking pussies
Keep it up bro. I appreciate you sharing. I does a lot for me , I invest in real estate and I'm only 23 so I know the challenges of being a young entrepreneur. I've always been wanting to venture into the trucking business but it seems intimidating from the outside. Your content cuts down on the intimidation factor a lot and helps me see how simple it really is. Even when you hit your goals and transition to your next business, keep posting because it's really motivating and people need this type of stuff. Thank you!💯
1k a day !!! I make 1k in 2 weeks at target 😂😂😂😂 damn I need to get a cdl
😁😁😁 I am also want to get CDL
i have my permit but im slacking on my pre-trip test lol
timidwaves that you bro?
Same that’s what I make at bk imma try getting my cdl
I mean if i was making that at my age rn id love to trade
keep it up man!. your doing awesome at 21.
can you go into detail on how the testing was? and costs.. etc.
Yes video up by tmr
If you're leaving 70k income for 3-months or 4-months go for it because obviously you have bigger and better things on the horizon! Don't listen to 'complacency' or 'tweedle dumb' or what 'tweedle do!' Because 'Jeff Bezos' didn't settle for 'mediarcacy' now he's worth 200 billions dollars, and 'Amazon's' worth 1.2 trillion dollars !!! So keep expanding on bigger and greater goals, ambitious, and achievements and leave the simple minded thinking to the simple minded people! And I love that attitude you have that it's something bigger and better for you other than a truck driver owning only one truck, can't wait to see what is !!!
Glad i came across your vids I’m also an owner operator I’m 28 just started this year smartest thing i could’ve ever done home everyday don’t work weekends doing flatbed
How did you get into flat bed.
Anthony Solis tbh my uncle does it and always told me to look into it but i was always chicken shit till i found a company in my state doing lease to own trucks and it’s the smartest thing I’ve ever done
John Cay : Hey John do you mind telling me if you work in California ? I’m from the Central Valley also 28, really want to do this as well.. thank you
Jorge Pulido Valadez I’m from Connecticut bud best advice i can give you is do some research in your state and see what jobs offer work for owner ops and if they do lease to own programs and go from there
John Cay in from CT too, did you drive semis or 3/4 tons, and if you don’t mind me asking what’s the name of the place you went to lease to own? I’d like to check them out
I’ve got a 22 year old O/O leased on to me pulling tanker. Bought and paid for his own bad ass Cabover. Great kid and making excellent money. It’s very rare these days.
Thank you I appreciate it
Way easier to be out there in the farmland then in dtla with all the traffic
Keep in mind this is most likely Net Income.
To break it down, assume Finance purchase at $125,000 with a average finance rate of 3-5% over 60 months. That equates to an annual vehicle cost of $28,042.
Avg. Diesel Cost @ $2.60, averaging 7 MPG with load. On 100,000 miles a year, that is $14,286 gallons of fuel consumed. DEF averages $2.40 per gallon, and 2.5% as percent of Diesel. Annual fuel cost of $38,001.
Maintenance averages of $3,500 per year in tires, and $8,000 in Vehicle Insurance. For annual maintenance/service, you're looking at around $12,000 a year.
Total vehicle operating costs for the year average around $89,543.
Then, we notice 1K a day, or 70K in 3 months. Annualized that is $280,000 gross, and after taxes is around $20.0, (15.3% Self-Employment tax). So annual tax bill, which could be lower with deducting some operating cost-- $56,000. So Net Income is around $224,000. Let's say you have a good accountant who can lessen your burden 3% on Operating costs at $89,543-- $86,856.71. So $224,000 becomes $137,143.29 a year.
From there, simply factor in your own health insurance premiums, etc. which is probably around $10,000 in the private marketplace.
All in all, great career, just wanted to put this in context for you guys.
Beautiful explanation and pretty accurate!
@@jvetum7207 Thanks J, keep up the videos man!
Great video - Healthy eating & drinking water must be a challenge, at least have a fresh leftover tomato or two this season
Too bad that insurance is killing you.
Mine is $450 a month
You could be having extra 2k.
Damn insurance
They tax more for 20 year old males sadly.
Doesnt matter he can easily pay that insurance in a day or 2 worth of work and the rest profit 😎
@@edderrodriguez8644
To me its the Principal.
its BS how insurance take advantage of young drivers coming into the industry.
What would you do with extra 2k in your pocket . Multiply that by 12 months
( 24K in the insurance pocket)
Just saying.
How are are you Daniel
Insurance is a fucking deal considering this dude is running on four hours of sleep a night. He's gonna fuck up eventually
Thanks bro for vid I’m 23 going into second year of cdl class a driver I love your vids
This look like a really good business it got me thinking and am 21 years as well bro but we have something different in the UK.
Brooski... you gave me some motivation. Just have a question for you. I would like to do this 2/3 times a week during the weekends. I’m in Hayward. Can I Chet trips near me ? Any help wound be appropriated I would also be interested in buying your truck once your done with it. Hope to hear back from you
Video up by tmr
Great job bro, where did find your broker? I’m out here in the Central Valley and I’m tired of working for the man🇲🇽
I haven’t seen diesel that expensive since 2019 😬
Yeah its in Cali lol
I’m thinking about trucking. I’m going to be 25 next week. Any advice? Drive for a company first? Work other jobs and eventually save up for a truck? I do not have my CDL. Should I go for class B first? Go for class A? What endorsements? Thanks, any help is appreciated!
Bro if you have a sleeper then you can’t look back, mirrors only
Bro you should average no less then $2.00 per mile on all miles so if your driving 600 miles per day you got to make at least $1200 dollars
Taxes and gas
Reyes the Entrepreneur sent me here. Bro, you need to post every week on a set day to build your channel - Casey Neisat. It does not matter what you post, just so long as you post - Roman Atwood.
Keep it up bro.. I saw you on a video on Reyes channel. I’m from the Bay Area, where are you from man? Got yourself a new subscriber 👌🏽💪🏽🙏🏽
Thank you I’m from the Central Valley
You make 70k in 3 months Bruhh don’t leave
Did he really make 70k in 3 month with on truck?
One
That’s cap
Truck drivers lowkey rich tho😳 kinda wanna be one but it’s a tough job and it’ll be my backup job
Also don’t forget expenses
Man, I would love to hear how you did this. I am 18 and my dream has been to start my own trucking company. Keep on trucking, living the dream man!
There’s actually a video about him and his journal
$210 for that first load. A company driver there at most will make maybe $43 to $46 for the same load. A company driver there has a "Good" day if they can make $210 in a 12+ hr shift.
Do most companies let you leave your truck parked overnight at their lot?
Just saw your video on the Entreprenuers channel! Subbd! I Eat Sleep and breath trucking insurance, man I gotta respect your hustle! Central Valley ✌🏼
hi bro. can i ask you what is your insurance company? im starting to buy my first truck and working. but its hard to find an insurance company that willing to sell for new driver. thank you
Progressive bro
Super stoked that I found your channel
I have my permit & cant wait to get license
Finding your channel motivating
Keep up the hustle
Get your Ls sis and start trucking I'm newer driver and started my O/O thing however you have to get in the game get in and start building!
Same here just got my permit I’m kinda scared though because driving these looks hard I hope I have good instructors
@@yeisonenamorado2451 Don't be scared with a good instructor it will be a breeze
@@SuperNorcalkid If you need dispatching give me a call at 314-688-0052 Tyrone with Almighty logistics
This guy must have money someone give him a truck. Many state wont give you a CDL till your 21 year of age. Most companies wont hire or trust a new driver unless he or she drive under (school) trainer. And for a 1000 dollars a day "yeah Right"
You can tell this job consist of saving everything before anything, because anything can happing trucking around
Been an owner operator since I was 22..would I do it again? FUCK NO!!!! trucking is a waste of life..ya you make good money but life is more important then money! Especially when you start having a family of your own. If your single with no kids ya go do it. Get your money and get out of if!
Doing good bro try a GoPro hero 8. So you won’t have to sacrifice your phone and the shake goes away, batteries might be an issue. It drains but not to much in my opinion. Keep up the content looking forward to your business, wish you nothing but the best 💯💯💯
Just got my cdl license and I'm looking for a job now. How were you able to get $3 per mile when every place I'm looking at only offers .30 - .65 cents per mile.
He is an owner operator i belive you applying for company driver honestly 30 cent to 60 is the average for new drivers
Im almost 2 years experience and my first year was really bad but you gotta start somewhere first year is hard some companies required i year otr before you can get local most of them two years well idk at least in my state of tx
$0.30-$0.60 typical compnay driver pay, Owner operator pay is higher because they gotta pay for their equipment n other stuff.
Sheesh lol
Have my CDL permit. In on this career til death. I'm 18 yrs old. Ik God will help me. This isn't an easy career. But if I can be a cashier, then I can fulfill my passion which is this. Never give up!
2 yrs later. I now work for Waste Management and now the experienced young gun. Happy I took on this career choice.
Wow $3/mile? That’s more than what long-haul dry van loads pay.
Remember it's in California
Bro I after this ged I’m getting into trucking, bro I hope I make it big like you bro God bless you.
Bro I'm 27 and barely realizing, I'm putting myself on💯
Mad respects bro. I’m also around your age . I’m currently 22 and also an owner operator and my only issue is that I bought my truck in June only to get my engine to go toast and now driving a rental until my truck is back into order
You are living my dream bro.. But i have - point I'm not born in america, want to move first there.... And its just will be needed to wait for move 4 years FUCK
Congrats man. You passed way over your 1,000 subscriber goal! Gonna have me beat soon!
How many crowds did you hit with that Mustang
You thought that was a good one huh bro??
Have that video, a mini fridge, and some blackout curtains for the windows and boom mini sleeper.
Dude this guy has nice cars but he's a truck driver
Truck drivers actually make a pretty good living but it’s just one of those jobs many don’t want to do for certain reasons
Bro what city do u have to live in in Cali to do this type of work ect ? Thanks
In love in the Central Valley but every area has its different crops for the season
7 days / week should be illegal that's slavery not only physically but also mentally. why are you selling your truck if its making you money? switching to sleeper OTR?
Bro I’m glad I found someone young like me I’m in the process of becoming o/o also Im 22 good job bro #neweratrucking !
If your going to become a o/o, do it right. Hope your not doing it on a lease program. To many fail stories out there
Appreciate that lets get it
“Owner op” but he checks in at an office and gets paid by the mile ?
As an owner operator you have the chance to still work for other companies but the pay per mile is much higher than a regular driver without his own truck.
5 hours of sleep a night ...I remember being young once lol. I used to truck 20 hours a day, for 5 days straight and take the weekend off when I was younger. Now I've been driving for 20 years. I can do a night or two of 5 hours of sleep. But I pay for it later. I try to get around 7 average now. Learned to work smarter, and not harder. Best of luck in your business.
I see you Youngblood keep doing your thing man may God continue to bless you 🙏
These good paying trucking jobs are disappearing. We need to protect AMERICAN TRUCKERS!!!!
Why
This is a good gig if you put in the work and your truck is paid off . Also it’s not for everyone . Working for good companies is another good option but mad respect to you for being your own boss !
Reminds me a bit of myself. I respect your grind. You'll be rich in no time. So many idiots try taking the short cut to success which never lasts. It's people like us who actually put in the work that achieve ever lasting success. Kudos to you
Caught your story on the Reyes channel. I’m 25 and want to get my cdl and your story is exactly the route I want to go so I’m excited for more of your videos man!
Awesome video bro. I got my CDL in February. It was paid for by my current company. We are a short haul on a 13 mile loop hauling frac sand from the plant to the storage facility/rail loadout. I put in my two weeks last week and am going OTR for the training center whom I obtained my CDL through. A hotshot producer from Los Angeles is starting a new business venture (trucking) so we are the first employees to start this Amazon Prime relay run. Should be able to get my experience, plus she's paying $0.68/mile. Can't complain about that. I'd like to purchase a truck forming a consortium with the training center, as one of the former trainees accomplished this already. Her contract agreements entitles her to 40% of the profits. Good luck in your travels and stay safe brother.
wow nice keep up the good work
You're an inspiration, I was in Oil and Gas sector but covid had me on the unemployment line (along with millions of fellow Americans) Im looking into getting my Class A, currently studying for the written portion.
Man I wish I could get into o/o. Im a company driver for a small business. I haul almonds right now and I haul my ass off all week and take home about 1k bucks, but its like 70ish hours per week of driving at least. The boss takes all the money. Youll never get rich working for someone else so true. The owner has about 50 trucks must make a profit of 50k per truck that goes in his pocket dude is a millionaire.
I’m here from Reyes channel I just got my cdl a few months ago but idk where to start keep up the vids man you got a new subscriber 👍🏻
you making me wanna drop out of college lmao
Makes me wanna drop out of community college lol
Daamm you inspire me to not. To give up ..!!!
Don't forget about insurance on trucks ( very expensive), Diesel, and also any mechanical problems, Tires of course! But all buts aside u can make a nice living out of it. But you need to be a good driver and don't wait until stuff breaks to fix it. Fix it before it breaks!
aw thanks for your advice for our young brother hope you doing good out there
I have my cdl and i know i could be doing a lot of money too. But i don't like to be a slave working over 14 hrs a day. Besides, the more you earn the more taxes you pay... but if you like to feed all those bums in the corners panhandling. Go ahead. Your choice.
I'll keep driving my straight job truck for only 7hrs daily and get around 1k a week.
just wondering is that the morning star company in Los banos your working for?
Bro you look like you are 25 😬
I just turned 21 i got my cdl A at 18 - 19 started driving at 20 i could not find something local because i did not have any experience. Found a road construction job dump truck driving and sometimes i drive flatbeds make around $1800 a week , but im interested on what you are doing , good videos ! You got a sub here 👍.
fire video man. post a video on how you got into this business
Your car is so slow btw I’m still paralyzed
Lmao 😂
this is dope man i am thinking of becoming a trucker and getting my license there's a huge demand in Canada for Truckers right now
hey, how much would you say I should save up to get a good truck ?
husband start up with volvo downpayment 10K then paid off for two years(60K i believe) but remember old truck means lots of headaches 😂after a million miles we get rid of our truck now he got peterbilt 579 he got it brandnew he costumized everything on it cost him 130,000 around that area and downpayment we put in 20K if im not mistaken(his hauling gas owner operator)
@@lizwithmyfambam8362 hey my Instagram is dylan_Mccants I’d love to talk some with you or your husband I’m trying to get into it but I’m 22. Would love to learn some from a vet!
DOT required 10hrs off after each shift... so how do u work after only 5hrs
Local rules I was of the clock for 8 hrs
What are you going to do with your truck when u start new business
Keep up the great work buddy god bless you always man, love your vids 😎
08:35. you could just make lunch/breakfast with you and bring it with you.
Thanks i'm thinking about doing the same trucking as you next year these videos are really helpful
For idle on long periods, hit high idle. Consider some lucas in the tanks=better mpg (driving commercially since the mid-'80s) Trucking is not an easy lifestyle. Junk food and long hours; take care of your health. Be safe driver
azcactusflower1 Thanks those are some good tip I appreciate your advice
Lol, 4 trucks waiting, one harvester... More like 2hrs wait in my experience, unless the harvester breaks down periodically then maybe much longer.
All the way from Memphis TN showing love to you bro keep that grind up I drive trucks myself looking to be an owner operator
Thank you new video by tmr will help full info
Any suggestions for someone that just bought an F550 flatbed that wants to get into the business?
Pause, you’re telling me I can make 70K to start?
Do you know of a company paying like this in the Houston, TX area?
956 ✌️
Remove the music sir :) i want to hear the engine sounds and the road
If you had a sleeper you’d be set homie.. good luck on your journey & keep going 👍
great job J .... feels good to see young blood working hard and being productive and having a goal oriented attitude..... hope my kids are like you.
So i see an average of 750 a day
-300 on diesel
-50 truck payment
-50 truck insurance
- 50 truck repairs
So technically on a great day 300 a day as an owner operator 1500 a week!
NOT GOOD AT ALL!!
you can make a little less as a company driver but WAAAY Less headaches!
Not a good business anymore
.
That was just one day every day was different I would average 6k-7k a week and keep 5k-5.5k after diesel and insurance
Do you rent those empty trailers?
I want a truck but I dont got the cash
Just asking because I was thinking about doing this. So you can be a owner operator with a day cab but you have to pick the right loads so you can come home every night basically? Because I was going to do a year at rohel trucking so they can teach me and I have more experience. I’m 27 trying to get my life together
Kudos to you taking action to get your life together 👍
Wussup bro. I remember when i bought my 2013 Freightliner cascadia when i was 20 years old. It’s the best feeling ever.
my dream life.. one day ill be a truck driver too
Half the trailers don’t have abs
Consistent A hustling bro u earning it 💪
Yay! I’m here from Reyes Channel my husband is a truck driver! I’m so glad your starting off young!!!! He’s been a owner operator for a while! Good luck with your future endeavors
I honestly can’t stand it when O/O say oh yea I made $150,000 last year. No no you didn’t. That’s before taxes, health insurance, 401k, fuel, maintenance, insurance on truck and truck payment and all the other stuff. Good one though
Is the licenses simple or complicated because you got me to wanting to do this now 😂
In my country South Africa 🇿🇦 big trucks companies have monopolies the industry, Evey small and big contracts to to them, you are blessed in your country bruh
