I appreciate the honestly on getting authority. Im in Florida trying to decide if im going to get mine with the way this freight market is. Tired of leasing.
1st i wanna say excellent points made in the video. 2nd i wanna say that its ok 2 lease onto a carrier if its the right carrier. It has its benefits, trucks break down at the most inopportune time. A carrier will be on that quick because they dont wanna loose the customer. Not that you cant do it yourself but if your on the side of the road they can come in handy. Money 💰 is not MUCH of a hassle IF your leased 2 the right company. Ive been on both sides now & yes i like it better under my authority but its not much different than when i was leased on. ✊🏾✊🏾
YESSIR YES INDEEDY Bruh you are doing the correct and right thing. You have a very good and positive business head and mind in the games as a young man with a positive attitude. Continue to keep your head up and high blessings will come in abundance eventually and soon.💯👍💪🤜👊🤛💪👍💯 Excellent and Great job and presentation Bruh
Proud of You KING. Keep on Pushin. Great to see you out there getting it for Your Family. Creating that LEGACY. ALL Flowers FAM. Great Content. GOD BLESS
Big fan of the channel bro you already know I stay in the Lives lol.. would love to see a video of how you handle/organize paperwork while running this business. I know that must be a job itself. Keep doing what you do brother
I just wanted 2 add when I was leased on I was able 2 run when I felt like it. When I wanted 2 chill I could, when I wanted 2 take the top off & drop the hammer I could. Oh yeah I was able 2 maintain the truck because they had a shop also & loved the chrome I put on my truck. There are some companies out here that pay really high percentage on the loads so maybe I was lucky but in the end I still choose 2 get my own authority
Definitely the freedom with having your authority is priceless, now from my experience, to me working with direct shippers is like being and employee, pros is steady work, cons is you basically are committed to them, man we just need these rates up across the board and these bs brokers stealing to much money off top. Hey good video lil bro, you forgot to add them load boards cost lmao. Fkn with you, keep doin yo thing. Peace!!!
I had my own authority, but I messed it up. By not shopping for better insurance company, trying to stay local/regional, and fuel. Now Im leased on to a carrier until I can get my rev back up. Im learning while Im going so I wont fail. Its a huge learning curve! But being an owner op with freedom is definitely the goal!
First off I just wanted to say congratulations on your accomplishments and I'm sure there are other young men and women out there wondering if it's possible to achieve and you are showing them it's definitely possible.... I wish you continued success for you and the family but, I do have a question about the list you showed in the video and the question is did you do this whole list in one shot or did you do all of those over a time period like when you where working for the company???? God bless sir
I don't know why people think being leasing on to a carrier that you don't have freedom. I've been leased on with Land Star for 5 years, and they have never told me when and how to run my truck
Your Leased To A Carrier And I Am A Carrier. Freedom don’t just come from being able to book freight off landstar board. I think complete freedom went over your head. You don’t have 100% control over your business but Landstar does.
@InterstateMadeMe landstar has control over the Fright, not my truck. I can come and go as I please, so if you wanna try that argument, then no one really has complete control over their truck cause you still have to be DOT Compliant or they'll Shut your shit down
@@fabojohnson2302 i decide if I’m compliant brotha i control that aspect of my business. Landstar makes sure your compliant to run the road and have inspections every 90 days. And I’m not tryna debat at all just say there is a big difference. And landstar can terminate your lease at anytime. You have to follow there rules and I have my own rules in place.
I'm 9 months late to the video but could u touch on handling the risk involved in having employees run your trucks? I'm 19 and the end goal currently is to one day have a fleet but I don't want to be put underground due to an accident. Thanks bro
Ohio...let me asked noone shows logbooks anymore could you show us how its done now i appreciate it cause that made me be like hell naw they go fine the hell out of me i ain't neat.😂
Well heads up i pull for a tanker outfit with my own authority with there trailer home everyday gross over $360,000 a year (milk) tanker life was putting refee for 26 years with my own trailer n wasn't making that....
Getting your own authority sounds all nice and simple. You get all the money 100%, when shit start going down you lose all your money 100%. You need a team behind you to look out for you, like a bird eye. I will get my own authority to haul local. Getting your own authority and do long haul is a risk. I'm leased on to a small carrier. Last week my radiator started leaking and lost all my coolant and I was on the side of the road. Everyone at the office worked high and low to get me off the road and they paid for a tow truck and the new radiator. I will pay that later in installment. If I was a one man band, I do be screwed big time.
That's the reason you do it? .. 100% on that person, Alpha males need very little support, just a little mentoring and research. and never plan on failing, better yet even thinking about failing. Its a billion dollar business and there is no money for owner operators? That don't add up, the less business minded people are complaining about rates? Trucking is EZ money especially the way this dude is approaching it. Either you a hustler or your not. If you don't know your worth don't expect any one else to value you. It's been that way since the beginning of time.
Main reason why you should have money put away and bills paid up a couple months if possible. Nothing is easy bout none of this but you have to make good bussiness decisions. Having your own authority is having your own bussiness so you have to move a little different and not be company minded..anybody can buy a truck but everybody cant run a bussiness, so its not for everybody, and with the way the market is now it'll tell who's a bussiness owner or just a lease driver. Not for the faint of heart....
@@InterstateMadeMethats it driver go big or go home, welcome to the game, and wish you much success and you definitely on your way as long as you keep up the hardwork and dedication
Lease on to a carrier and gross 5k a week they taking 20-30 percent of top. $1000-$1500 every week is 4000-6000 extra a month. Plus your regular maintenance you put to the side.
How did you get your insurance premium so low? I’m 32 and just bought a 05 379 with a 2018 Great Dane reefer trailer and my cheapest quote was 28k a year. I have a clean record but I kind in GA.
Shop around and Ohio is just a cheaper state and pay attention to your deductibles and go over everything your insurance covers but that first year is always high
Free game.. but most wont listen. I still got people commenting on my down fall sense “the market is bad” aint no time like the present. Ill see you out there big steppa🫡
Ain’t no question getting ur own authority is the best move. You’ll eventually get direct shippers if you stay at it.
Yea sir one day it will happen just have to keep working
Eventually don’t pay bills
Amen! If you truly want freedom in trucking & 100% of control. Becoming the motor carrier is the only way.

So my guess is that the price of your truck was 60k. Thank u for the video cos I’m on the same path in a few months 👍
Much more lol

I have my own truck and trailer but im leased to a company but i wanna get my on authority also i haul cars
Good lane your in 🤙🏾
Why on earth did you put 12K down on insurance?> Did thay tell you you had to or was it optional?

Where at in Ohio
💎..........👂🏾 💯🖌
🤙🏾
I saw some reefer trailers on swift website 2015 for 25 grand for that year how many hours on the reefer unit should we look for peace
If you can get a unit with under 12,000 hours than you gold but make sure your trailer and roof is in great condition
How did you get your insurance premium so low? I’m 32 and just bought a 05 379 with a 2018 Great Dane reefer trailer and my cheapest quote was 28k a year. I have a clean record but I kind in GA.
GA premium just went up about a month ago. I'm outta GA so I can relate.
Shop around and Ohio is just a cheaper state and pay attention to your deductibles and go over everything your insurance covers but that first year is always high
Who’s your insurance cuz uh insurance is expensive
I have to load and unload my loads. Plus drive 500 miles. What's a good rate to ask for?
Man that’s tough but start high on your rate cause you should be making a nice coin for what you do
You a first generation truck driver with all this knowledge? Where it comes from
How much at a time are you on the road?
Man honestly can’t tell you my a** been home lol
Free game.. but most wont listen. I still got people commenting on my down fall sense “the market is bad” aint no time like the present. Ill see you out there big steppa🫡
Facts ain’t not waiting around brotha the time is now 🙏🏾😎
