Nice video. I did all this for 15 years all of that. But sold everything on time last year. Just next time when you make a video just put how heavy the loads are because its important
All the good paying loads 44k lol
You are not lying!!! This is our current situation. Thanks for sharing!!
You're Welcome!
The easy answer is to O/O's like me who were smart enough to do business with companies so loads DO NOT go through a broker and are constant; this means the O/O has to be a reliable business person and not just a driver, that takes time and dedication.
How much you making per mile
@@poonetidestroyer8955 depends on the loads; the lowest is $2.75 a mile, drop and hook, major thing is I have been pulling for these 4 companies for 15 years with ZERO issues.
And that’s the major difference between a company driver and an owner operator, your literally responsible for every aspect of your business, hard enough driving around psychos all day and you have to put up with everything on top of that 💀💀💀
@@preppertrucker5736 Yup 1000% agree with ya. I have been running OTR for 30+ years; I have been through my learning pains and they were painful, but led me to changes that led to the long life of business, alot of it has to do with the old timers that had a big influence in a positive way, that has disappeared over the years.
At those rates you cant afford to pay a dispatcher. A dispatcher is a luxury.
As a company driver out of Montreal in november i drove 15100 miles. If i could split myself in half there would be loads. Ya'll need to stop using loadboards. It's killing ya'll during a recesion.
Exactly! But they have bills. So drivers keep getting cheated...
@@BloomingRose60 Sadly.
All I can say is I’m glad I’m company, those rates will put an owner operator belly up real fast and thats if his equipment is paid off, if not…..💀💀💀
Not everyone wants to be a company bitch
We need 6 dollar fuel and cheap rates for a couple months . That way the guys that are hanging by a thread will get out faster and things will be back to normal. . It has to get worse before it gets better .
😂
That's a garbage take.
Somalis,turbans,Bangladeshi,Chinese,Africans got to go big time....and much more...😊
Europeans and Americans going too! Fast!
It won't make a difference
Thank god..🎉🎉I'm going to be retiring overseas 😂🎉🎉..and sit on the ⛱️ beach..😂and looking at this video shows me the best time to be a truck driver was in the past..lmao...because those prices to move freight is Hilarious..😂 Those old guys from the 50s 60s 70s. 1980s drivers.. and some nineties Drivers would never Mess with this industry with those kind of prices being thrown around unbelievable..... I remember dealing with those brokers. And they were throwing a lot more money somewhere hubbaring around for those short miles somewhere around..
Ahhh.. If I remember correctly about 385 a miles and that year was 1994.😂😂😂😂 And there are brokers that are no longer in business. That was paying some great great 💰 money...that year was nineteen ninety-five..
I remember dealing with the brokers back then. In the early nineties nineteen nineteen nineties yes sir
trucking is like a roller coaster, has its ups and downs
And now it's a steady down..)
for now@@inkognitou6982
We need more video contents like this bro
Sounds about right for dry van
Call several brokers leave them a offer for a good rate after multiple calls I usually get better rates than their "all I have in it" BS
Good Video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Meanwhile Kroger is guiding a profit of 4.50 a share. Income 646 million for the third quarter.
They have a market cap of 31 billion. They pay dividends of 1.16 a share.
None of this is possible without the trucking industry.
Just one company folks.
Kroger is a retailer, which means they're mostly a receiver, not a shipper.
Google maps almost always shorts the driver. Also you have to factor in weight when booking loads.
Thanks
Hi good content as always, i wonder how do you guys calculate price for 26 ft boxtrucks?
The same way you would for a big rig.
It's you want to leave Baltimore
Try to find loads from dominos sugar in Baltimore or some loads from Carlisle or Allentown PA
Wow.
I feel for you.
its the holiday season. after new year things pick up again. its the annual year end slump. except cattle. people love beef :)
This is supposed to be the last uptick for the year.. The holiday season rush.. usually slow afterwards until maybe March April..
As long as inflation is high, interest rates are high so companies are reluctant to do the borrowing needed to move the company, have to pay too much to borrow that dollar
Heavy and cheap. I have a 44,000 lb load sitting in the yard, leaving shortly to deliver it. Roughly 450 miles all in, with tolls, pays $800. I'm a driver, I parked my truck, as this appears to be new the norm on the spot market. We do have some better paying freight, regular account, contract with shipper. This is the crap we get back to do those better paying loads. Oh, this is a driver assist on the unload.
Luckily my fleet is understanding
What happened to the Atlanta market. I avoid sending drivers they these days. 😭
All those 3 loads were terrible loads a load to Florida would pay better or something long to Phoenix AZ for Monday if yall not finding loads you haveto book from days before lol I've been getting loads for well over 2 per mile you cant book a load the day your empty that won't work only loads left will be the garbage if you don't believe me just look days ahead but it's if the driver is good enough to be on schedule that's all
Sometimes it's better to bounce. Then haul freight that doesn't cover costs
System already rebooting, you believe its to liw but because calculations based on old expenses. New company that will enter market next year with discounted equipment going to destroy lots of old companies with big debt with overpriced equipment.
I don’t know how I feel about his dispatch
If u can't get load over $2.00 mile thats mean u not good dispatcher
They can but they want to keep the money in their pockets
You obviously haven’t been on a load board lately.
The loads for over $2 / mile are usually to destinations where you will run empty on the way out. You need to factor that into your total operational cost.
@@unknowndriver6652 who wants to keep the money in there pocket? A dispatcher will make more if the truck makes more there's no benefit in grabbing shitty loads
@@cyclopsvision6370 so true
200 mile d/h😢
Lot of Mexican plated trucks running around with USA subsidized equipment! We paid for foreign gov to outsource trucking right here with our tax dollars
Isee that alott and Canadian also
Canadian can only do international load no interstate. We see US truck in Canada and its completly fine.
THIS!! add to that companies outsourcing dispatching a brokering jobs to India & the phillipanes soon we wont have an industry left. Tech is going they the same thing why pay someone in the USA a good wage when you can divide that same salary between 3-4 employees.
If its only Mexicans.....Somalis,turbans,Chinese ,Bangladeshi and much more....
Maybe is better to stay then drive for dollar 15 if you owner operator?
Already on the ⛱️ in Asia 😅
Good loads have gone on railroad or to mega carriers
I am telling as a broker. The situation is getting out of control. In USA as per now most of the customers want rates between 1.1 and 1.5/M
Yeah but as a dispatcher it's your job not to position him in Northeast or any bad area for that matter on Friday. The times are tough but it is your job to make most of it. It's true that the drivers sometimes just can't understand the situation and that's why now more than ever you need to be smart at your job and for the love of god don't be in northeast on Friday.
As not a travel agency, but it’s not even a speed runner either because you did not do one thing that I have seen you didn’t take calculation if the driver was sitting there overnight that I don’t know of one thing that I don’t know if you haven’t done if you had seen his car hoursdid you calculate his hours to everything before you did those negotiations?
I don't blame him 2.65 ample in ca
🔥🔥🔥
Well, I'm the dispatch, broker, OO , well everything and it's very true, Friday is really bad, .
😮💨
Honestly I'm getting out of trucking. I want a life and trucking provides you with zero. At the end of the day if you have a wife and kids and all you have to show for leaving them is barley making ends meet, what is the point of being a truck driver?
Even for a loner with the economy crashing, banks going under, and cost of living sky rocketing. You will have zero retirement for these cheap trucking jobs. You will die in that truck a lonley 75 yr old if you make it to that age😂. Maybe the mercenary business will pick up and I can try that, at least I will die a somewhat payed man.
You're sick 😫
@@Nbeg_Backthorn am I? I want to get paid for my time. Let's face it most jobs out here are barley above indentured servitude. If you are your own boss fine, but become an employee your someone's b$$$ so hence forth the mercenary job I might as well take. At least I know I'm being used and I'm getting paid well for it😅 dark truths.
How much of a profit would the $1.82/ mile for around $1,800 load be? Would that be all profit? How many miles would the driver have to drive to pick the load up? How much diesel would be used just to move to the load?
Then when the driver has to refill, how much would that cost? $1000? So they would only get around $800 in profit? Am I seeing this correctly? Or am I off?
Doesn't seem like much, but for a two or three days trip, if you could get another like that at the end of the week, for another $800-$1000 profit, you could make $1200-$1800/ week in profit? Or am I wrong?
The problem is too many drivers look at each load individually. I look at multiple because sometimes you have to take a lower rate load to get to a higher rate load averaging everything out. Sure one load pays 1.60 a mile but then with the better loads the whole trip averages 2.80 a mile. That's the better way to look at it. Also my truck expenses, fuel, insurance, etc., runs at a dollar a mile. Then I take half of everything left and put it away for maintenance and unexpected repairs. Of course there is other ways to do it, but thats how I do it
The problem is that 1200-1800 in profit per week for an owner operator is terribly low. Company drivers earn at least 1800 per week without owning any equipment.Just maintenance for a semi truck ranges around 25-40k per year. and now deduct that from 93.6k the driver makes in profit per year assuming he made 1800 in profit every single week for 52 weeks… Its tough
I saw where i work dispatcher is a awful job for me , but , if a driver does not understand some situations , i would let him go .
Oh, won’t you tell me, where have all the good loads gone?…(insert Eddie’s crunchy riffs here)…
I would have went to the house on those options
Nope you don’t take anything like that, that just sinks everyone else around you. Start doing partials, make money being smart. Anything under $2.50 is trash. Start doing partials and let TL’s sit at docks. Customers will eventually pay more to get load’s moving. Do not haul cheap. SMH
Looking at that and wonder why so cheap. Buy an rv trailer have it delivered 4k... not even that far. Tractor same distance 3k. Was 140km and a ferry. Ferry is 150 bucks. If its that cheap your hauling the wrong stuff
Im interested in knowing how the rates will look when electric trucks come in full Force. But the this is not a travel agency comment got me cracking up
You're going to be waiting a long time because electric trucks won't be a viable option for a while.
Alternative fuel trucks will mostly be big companies and short haul. It will be awhile before any infrastructure is built to accommodate long range otr so diesel will be around for many many years.
No. To much time and no money. My last 3 loads paid 1000 a day to the truck. Just turned down 3400 on 875 miles sound good right not on 5 days. Day to load a day to umload and unload is 10 friday night. So sit the weekend or take the 4200 and pocket 2900 after fuel and insurance and be empty first thing monday with a load another load set up for monday first load after fuel and insurance would pay 2600. Now take that 2900 divide it by 4 days. That 725 a day first load weight was 45000 number 2 load was 10000. Load 2 put you in a better freight area. Now i have a team of 6 agents looking for freight for me at all times. I also stay in there areas any given time i will work with 10 agents all together. Most have direct ship freight.
I got 10 more months...I'm retiring 😂😂...I'll only drive till November 2024.. full time..
Then it's time to only drive in America 🇺🇸 for 6 or 7 months out of the year...and fly to thialand or Philippines 🇵🇭...and thrive like a 🤴 king....and sip on a 🍺 beer ..😂🎉and enjoy life...hahaha 😉 social security here I come lollll😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loads will always be bad when the driver is paying brokers and dispatchers bills
2 dollars a mile and fuel at 6 dollars a gallon, cost to run a truck down the road without a load, costs of fuel, insurance and maintenance costs are about 2 dollars a mile now and you want the driver to run for free, what are you as a broker taking off of the load, could be 50 percent, send me a rate confirmation
So on an average size trucking company. How much frieght is direct customer verses broker loads. So do the broker loads then become double broker loads...if so the owner operator would be better off being a company driver
in this economy I doubt there are a lot of O/Os who still have direct customers even small brokers are losing loads to the bigger companies
The point I make if a company has owner operations and charged brokerage on loads that they get from a broker it then becomes double broker loads
Drivers don't move cheap freight, if you don't move cheap freight then shipper have to raise the price is that easy.
This is what confuses me can somebody answer this?
You can lease your truck no trailer needed to certain companies that pay $2.10 all miles paid.
Why would you even but your self through this? Is thos video just fake?
To to from maryland to the north east is a dumb idea
Maybe those ppl who call us every fkn day with " we have good paying loads"🤣
Its sucks. But i am looking to buy tractor, and dealers still think 600 000 miles is.worth 49900
Hell no. Also if you get into it makes sure that you’re given the service manuel. Buy the diagnostics for whatever brand you buy. Knowing how to work on your truck is a must.
@@Swolesauce96Yep, you are the warranty station.
The old truck driver's The old truck drivers are gone. They gotta be laughing at this unbelievable
I would be so phaking mad if this guy called me with a $1.72 a mile.
I am getting much better loads than $2/mile...
I'll continue to do my own dispatching... Guys charging money for something like dispatching that's so simple to do. Smh
yes & no. If you are a single o/o then yes but even then its not the same as having someone looking at the load board all day also if you have multiple trucks good luck handling all that unless you have a direct customer.
I like your videos sir but can't understand properly 😢 bcz you speak very fast. Its difficult to understand language for non native people. Consider this
Noted!
Do those rates include the fuel?
no they dont
Fuel ?....😂😂😂😂..
By the time the company takes 25% of 1.82...... leaves 1.36 to truck... .45 cents per mile for fuel..... I'll go home empty every time . Leave the cheap shit there.
People just want prosperity handed to then
There are loads leaving PA too... so flawed logic.
Stop booking if it’s not worth it
Why on earth did you even offer the wi load that was covered, You just told your driver there were three options when you knew one was not even still available???? This is what cause issues between drivers and dispatchers. SERIOUSLY DUDE don't lie to your drivers
It was $5-$6/mile under Trump
Ronen,
With your knowledge, have you thought of creating videos that are inspirational to drivers out there. While your videos are often very informative, they are not inspirational. That would help drivers out there, just my opinion.
Ronen's not trying to inspire truckers. He's trying to get them to shut up and take whatever crap loads he wants to give them. He makes his money on quantity, not quality.
Don’t take that cheap stuff!
FYI, its not pronounced MarY-land. At worst it's Mer-land, at best Merlin.😂
Believe it or not I'm dispatcher and getting my driver $2.50 a mile avg
I said it before, I’ll mention it again;
Low rates are because drivers are stupid. These drivers are working in a field and doing nothing about an industry that is accepting illiterate individuals. But than again, what can one accept from a field that employs individuals that consistently fail an IQ test.
According to Joe, the economy is great!😅
Dispatcher going to be replace by ai
1990s 😂😂😂😂😂
These drivers are going broke soon.
I just loaded Hanover. Pa to newcomers. Oh 308 miles @ $900 2.92cpm loaded 11/27
