If your truck payment is 2k take the 500 out every week , same with maintenance put 500 every week, 2k week net is 100k a year still good at 25 years old on a dedicated account with no worries, the important part is saving and investing it properly. Between maintenance and credit you want Minimum 30-40k available, truck might be down a month
Facts! Thank you I will Definitely take this information in!! Appreciate the support!! & thank you for watching
You left out fuel bill
@@richardrobinson2596 fuel bill is the biggest expense mentioned in this video lol so that’s already included in the 2K hes referring to after taking $1000 out for maintenance & payment …,,did you miss that part? 😂
@@TruckingTransparency trying to find the funny part. Not trying to knock what u saying actually talking to the guy that commented. Fuel bill change daily. Just trying to get him to understand it's more to it than just peaches and cream
@@TruckingTransparency and that's on a small scale
3k seems pretty straight for home everyday . Best of luck with your truck and the company . From one new owner op to another 💯👊🏻
Thanks 🫡
Good shit bro. Could be doing anything else but instead you doin it the right way..💯 Im home daily as well. I take home about 3k a week. Can’t beat that being home everyday. I bought my truck at 27. Im now 29. Imma tell you, SAVE MONEY! I was out for a couple months w my truck cuz I ain’t save. Only thing that saved me was I never had payments and my lady make good money. I got back on my feet thanks to her. And man from that learning experience, I swear I put back %90 of my earnings 😂 . I been good since! Keep grinding Brotha!!
Man, I think you are going to be ok. I've been doing trucking for 8 years now 5 as a owner and I'm running three hotshot trucks. You are heading in the right direction. Keep the positive attitude keep your equipment in good shape and you are going to be good! Just make sure you set up that rainy day/emergency fund ASAP. #Awesome video....
Thanks man
YESSSIR !! Watching your journey is inspiring bro. We definitely watched you run your last day at work to now making great money for your age as an Owner Op 💪🏽 stay safe truck driver keep doing ya thing 🙏🏽
Appreciate it!!
congratulations!! Great job!! best of luck!!
Thank you!!
Thanks for the transparency 👊🏾
You are right in the average I think. This year has been the worst year of the 5 years I've been in business. I'm down over 22k from last year at this time with comparable miles. I ended up having to change to a different carrier. Just keep grinding. As long as your happy that's all that matters. Can you do a monthly video going over your profit and loss statement for the month?
Mannnn that's coo bro!!! Continue to do whats best for you as you're growing!!! GOD BLESS you fam!! 💪🏿💯🔥
Thank u
Trucker it seems like your onto something staying within a 500 mile Radius Glad everything is working out for you💪🏾

🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡thanks bro
@@TruckingTransparencysettlement or statement?
@@HeyeeuueYeheeueu which one u see
Really appreciate the transparency im looking into going the same route with lone mountain this really helped me see the numbers more clear so thank you. Could you do a video on how you set your buissness up step by step im assuming you set up llc first then went from there? I just wanna make sure I have everything in order before I commit so there's nothing thats gonna jump out on me later through the process. Thanks again and congratulations
GREAT VIDEO BRO NO BS NO NOTHING JUST NUMBERS !! I’m 15 turning 16 this January and this is what I was to do I evntually want to buy more trucks and start my own business but I have to start somewhere first watching you really does motivate me. And to anyone else watching the trucking guru. Is also good motivation she’s on RUclips and insta
Keep it rolling young blood your doing good
Thanks!
Yes there’s always more money out there G but you straight because the small amount of weight you pull with your truck plus the home time everyday; makes that pay worth it.
If you went OTR or home weekly & had to haul more weight on your truck you’ll need more money than that.
You’re doing great as a beginner! Keep up the good work bruddah
I appreciate it bro thank you!
Good shit bro 💪.. putting work in pays..
Facts thanks bro

I live a hour from Ruther Glenn my truck will be paid off in a year I might have to slide there where you at that’s dam good to be home
Good video 😊
For one week this is a good take home. This is more than what you would make than a company driver. And you home everyday! That’s legit good. Does this company run in Florida?
Thank you!! & yes they do but I believe every state they have a different account
Nice 👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Congrats big dog! But word to the wise, get rid of that International as soon as possible!!! Trust me on this one lol
Naw I love my truck lol but thanks for watching!!
THanks for sharing :)
I heard you say the most important words..."It works for me". Keep the solid income until freight rates go back up then bust loose on the load boards. Keep up the good work bro, and keep the rubber side down! 😊
Appreciate it bro thank you!
Local gig, that’s good money bro!
Facts thanks bro 🙏🏽💪🏾
Thanks for the info I been driving a few years I am buying a truck just for more freedom I make enough as company I ain’t greedy.
dang bro 3K a week, home every night? shiieeeet, you're moving up bro! congrats
Word thanks bro!
Big respect , if it was easy everyone would do it especially in this trash ass economy keep grinding keep trucking
3k clean in this moment is REAL good! Advice from an o/o don't give the secrete where you work, cuase if you speak it all the flies are coming over less food. Good luck!
They can’t this account only in my area ..my channel promotes transparency so it’ll always be this way over here thanks for watching!
weirdo
Salute!!
Congrats homie. You doing good man. I gotta leave the local company in with. Lol. What’s the name of the company your leased to?
Congrats dude. I’m 34 and wanting to get my trucking licence.
Thank you!
Dope video bro! What do you edit your video with?
Just subbed
Thanks for the support!
Bro. Them loads go straight to my area. I need to tap in.
Right now them awesome numbers
My company only paying me 800/week.. Im about to quit and become a local Owner Op like you bro!
Don't forget... he's going to have to dump thousands into the truck for maintenance. You don't retain your net until your truck can make it so many miles without costing you anything. I'm the end, he's still making $2k/week unless something catastrophic happens, and in that case he could lower good average even more.
If you make $3000 a week as an owner operator then you got to consider your pay is really about $2000. That's excellent pay if you home nightly. You probably should save an extra $500 weekly for maintenance. Just save half your pay. Get an accountant because the FEDs gonna get theirs. I remember being at a KW dealership and a owner said he had to pay something like 30k for an engine rebuild.
Are you leased on to a local company with your truck? Good content man. I have my own truck and looking to get it rolling again.
Yes
That's dam good bro. I don't see any reason for you to go anywhere else. Do they have any day runs and do they make you work weekends. You only 25 you killing it.
Right now everything delivers at 5/6am but in March will be getting the frozen portion of the account which will have daytime deliveries so then we’ll be able to run 2 loads a day instead of 1 …doubling the money!! …& as far as days you literally pick what days you work it’s your choice on the store you go to as well
Big up everytime family that's what it's all about get that 💰 and do you let no one stand in your path congratulations your videos take me back when I started in Nice to see young men & women take this industry serious blessing family from the brother from Southside
I appreciate it broski thanks
End of the day, you get to go home and have a family life.
Facts! Thanks for watching bro
Definitely big UPs to you & much future success. I will email you 💪🏿💪🏿
Hey man. I'm local. I have my haz mat and tanker as owner op. Last year I made $260k and this year so far I've made $270k there's 3 weeks left. So, I should finish this year around $285k. Really easy stuff. I rent the trailer. I have a fuel card they deduct from my paycheck. Hope this helps.
What state
Nah bro I’m inspired , I start school November 5th.
Congratulations bro & good luck on your new journey 🤘🏽🤘🏽
What’s up bro ! Shit those numbers look good for what you do ! I’m looking at coming over . I gotta question tho . Do you unload every trailer or do they help ?
Thanks man! & naw we unload but we only required to pull each pallet to the edge of the trailer only!
@@TruckingTransparencybet cus when I saw you pulling all that stuff at the Trader Joe with the overage I said . “Now they got ya boy working “ 😂 let’s connect
@@Fleet_Elite 😂😂🤦🏽♂️ & that’s a bet bro hmu
💯
I know the feeling, I had a carpet cleaning company, and at its peak it was making around 30k a month, and after I deducted expenses, made repairs, paid employees, paid for advertising, misc costs, I saw around 6k of the 30k, and that was before taxes.
You made $3100, and out of that you paid your personal expenses, you paid the truck note which might be around $1,000 a month, rent or mortgage, misc. costs, you put away some money for future expenses, it looks like you might have saw $500 that you could have tricked off if you wanted to.
People see what is coming in, not what is going out...
So how do you find these routes? And what are the places you're delivering the loads to? And do they pay you as soon as you deliver?
💯✊🏾🙏🏾
If you can get that consistently and be home every night 🔥. A lot gurus have these lofty numbers that they never substantiate. Once you build up your maintenance account I suggest “30k” . You can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Don’t forget to stack your business credit. May the Most High bless you 👊🏿.
Exactly thanks man!
Who you pulling for bro... I try stay in NC VA SC & I try clear 2500 after I pay my driver I own my truck
This aint bad being home everyday. I'd like something like this but I don't wanna give up my authority. All the companies with round-trip loads want you to lease on.
You can have your own authority here.
@@TruckingTransparency what company is that?
@@TruckingTransparency is the pay different for having it?
@@CoachMelFootball yes
Food products are consistent but would containers out of Norfolk be more profitable since you're running out of VA.
I heard the ports are terrible…also the port shit be heavy asl & will beat your truck DOWN this honestly works for me as this check I showed here was actually my smallest check yet
Bro ima fallow you how do you get local route do you put ur truck under a company or u looking for you own load
Terrell Texas. The home of the great Jamie Fox.
Do you need trailer? Is it drop and hook?
What’s is KOB I’m from Los Angeles
Where are you out of, and what company do you work with?
Does lone mountain make it mandatory that you setup a maintenance account with them?
No sir
How much insurance do you have 500,000 or 1,000,000 and how much is the payment a month
Do they work with owner operators in Florida?
I’m in Richmond. What company u working for?
I live in Richmond bro I pull containers .. is this the trader Joe contract ?
Yessir
How do u get in to local routes, I have an international 2019 already pay off , but I don't want to go otr , an for some reason not one wan to say how to get in to local routes
The carrier I leased my truck on with has dedicated work …just depends on your area
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I've been running Four years.
Does anyone recommend My Own DOT or run under someone else's right now?
Also Do you any insurance Company that would accept One experienced driver Teaming with a New CDL holder in Florida?
Thanks
How many miles did your truck have, when you first bought it?
317,000
What company you pulling for
Do you know if the company lease on older trucks ?
Yes they do!
My company drivers make that and more. My owner operators make two to three times more than that every week. That’s take home.
Congratulations to you and your company drivers im so glad it works for you just like this works for me 🙃🙃 thanks for your view!
What about your lees or truck payment lol and the %%% percentage they charge ???
Clearly u can’t comprehend me saying variable expenses ….& they don’t charge any percentages we get straight pay
do semi trucks owner operators make more than 26ft box truck owner operators ?
In general I would say yes BUT I’m sure there’s different ways/strategies where you could be more successful either way
how much is your note
