brooo u kno i surport u 100 percent but i seee alot of tha comments below with people saying they gave up everything put shit in storage lived on tha trucc months to years at a time...and as i 100 percent respect that grind and dedicatiom buuuut aint no way in hell thats how this truccin shit posed to work. there aint another industry in this country people are giving up everything and living around tha country for $60k-100k a year personal gross....i kno im a lil crazy buuut theres noooo way you or anybody else can justify that? not for those wages. theres people who work blue colar jobs make $80-$150k a year and home every night.
Thank you man. You are right. There are jobs that pay around the same amount. But some people realize that they can save a lot more money faster if they commit to living in the truck for a couple of years and save all the money they would spend on rent, gas, utilities, etc. while traveling. Also trucking is “easier”.
It also depends on their personal goals.
I think that if you want to buy a house fast and stop renting it can be a good option for example.
I don’t think living in the truck forever is sustainable either. I think people need to have a purpose when out here. It is also not for everyone. But there is also some people that just want to be out here. Maybe having a family or a home is not a priority
When it comes to what you said about blue collar jobs, that is 100% true. There are a lot of trades that can be learned in a short period of time that pay really well. Some also are eligible to get grants from the government and learn for free! Plumbing, electrician, etc. make $60k plus a year.
You’re not crazy bro! I think🤔😝
In December 2020 I finally moved out of my 1br cottage in California and put all of my belongings into a storage unit in Oregon. Changed my residency and started PSD at prime. I’ve been homeless now for 3 and a half years. It’s a sacrifice but I’m saving $50-$100 per day on rent and utilities. So for 3.5 years I’ve saved $63,000. I’ll eat out when there’s an opportunity for a decent meal but I also shop at Walmart and usually buy 3-4 days worth of food for the week to prepare on the truck. My logic is that I want to support small businesses on the road when I can, so if there’s a sit down diner along my route I’ll stop there for dinner.
I just ended up deciding not to renew my lease on my apartment. I’m putting everything in storage and waiting out the storm. For the last 8 months I’ve been home twice and I don’t see no reason to keep paying $1400 a month for rent when I’m not there to enjoy it. I’m just throwing money away for a place that I’m not at.
I always do my grocery at walmart,and cook in my truck, some time I treat my self to a good dinner,thank for your videos.
Financial responsibilty. Accountability. Lived on truck 6 years. When i got an apartment, i paid a full year in cash. Bought everything to furnish in cash. Bought a house with no problems. Some people are irresponsible.
Thats the goal! I can’t wait to have MY place. Slowly but surely 🙃.
Theres a combination of lack of responsibility. But also lack of purpose in some cases. People can make life changing money out here and still burn it all away. I can relate to this in some degree 😪.
@@Peruviantrucker yeah.. as a company driver, I paid $70,000 in debt off in 2 years by putting my stuff in storage... cutting expenses. I didnt even buy a fridge or gps for the first 2 years. I almost bought a new truck in cash, but my mom got sick so I wanted a home to mpve her to. She died 3 weeks after i got a place! Stubborn old italian bad didnt want to move. So she died. Lol
@TruckerKearsey that is great! Waaay more committed than me😅. I won’t get rid of my babies(cars).
What happened with your mom sucks😪…
@@Peruviantrucker i had 3 Mustangs... my 2012 GT 5.0 i ordered from.Ford . Was amazing. I sold it when i came.out here but reallly realllllly should have kept.it. thanks about mom. She was 83. She passed in bed and happy. Be safe
@TruckerKearsey I've got 40,000 in debt to pay down myself.
First, paisano , you have nothing to talk about the market , because you are working for a company who owns your decision, you think you are OWNER, but you are not .
However, your decision to go and lease purchase has a huge effect to the rates . Very negative effects to all of us . Because of people like you , those companies can lower their rates , because you guys are the cheapest labor for those corporations.
It is a good thing that you are out of debt and make a lots of sacrifices, BUT !!!! It doesn’t mean you can run for cheap !!!
Do you get it ???
I will ask you the same question that what i have asked every lease driver,owner operator and people running on their own authority. How do you set up paying your taxes? You all are considered contractors os as 1099 workers.You are responsible for Federal,State if applicable,Social Security which is quite higher than a company driver,roed use tax which is charged in every state you drive in depending how much fuel you buy but NOBODY wants to talk about them.This could be valuable information to someone thinking about trying trucking for a careerWhat i do know if you get behind on them they can bankrupt you! Your net pay is what counts which is after all your expenses and taxes are expenses!
inform management that lease/owner operators at Prime Inc wants a load board! Other mega carriers like SWIFT, SHNIDER, KGNIGHT ETC, all have load boards, PRIME can do likewise
There is a reason why the companies you mentioned are publicly traded and struggling while Prime is still privately owned. Imma let management keep doing their thing 😎
They do have a load board only a select few is on it
This is not a good idea, look at other trucking companies that have it, and also look at the railroad industry, they all use Boards for jobs and guess who the good stuff goes to? The guys that have been there 20 years, that's who. A board would just make it worst
I’m literally in the same boat no kids no girlfriend. I just meal prepped a weeks worth of two separate meals. I get my first load tomorrow.
Good luck! Stay safe out there! Stay focused in your goals😉
When I came to Prime I got rid of everything ( admittedly I didn’t have much😅), got a small storage unit and after 2.5 years I recently rented a house. I took hometime during tnt and after I went solo with family and at terminals and hotels.
Just today I was thinking what all I could take off my truck and leave at my house.
Also, I now have a craving for a Pub Sub 🤣🤘✌️🤙
Haven’t watched you videos in a while.
Update on your tax situation with abacus? I found someone local to me who is fantastic.
Abacus situation hasn’t changed yet…
@@Peruviantrucker if you want, google “e Dennis bridges cpa” they are based in Woodstock ga. Good reviews. They specialize in trucking and the majority of their clients are truckers. I use them and know other people at prime use them. Very patient and taught me a lot and their checklist is huge.
I created my own spreadsheet with my out of pocket costs in google docs. I simply send them that at the end of the year, my end of year operating statement, my 1099, and my int which I believe is for the efund interest. They do the rest.
I pay far less than abacus charges for their services, my taxes were filed on time, and they had me paying WAY less than abacus for quarterlies. I’m paid up until January next year, give them a look. I do all my corresponding with them via email.
sige tu sueno ,asi ninguno de mandar haces que quieres
Oh, Hamilton is a really good one!
Yeah! Musicals and Movie soundtracks are👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@@Peruviantrucker Glad I'm not the only one. Hairspray and Walk Hard the Dewy Cox story are my two current go to's
@@LifeAccording2Logan Haven’t watched those😅… yet😉. My go to’s are Hamilton, Rent, In the Heights, A Goofy Movie Soundtrack, Begin Again, Sing Street, Beauty and The Beast…
But mainly just listen to album after album out here😉
Money is not everythink
The people leasing at prime have to understand they’re operating in the small box that prime allots for them and with that comes a very limited perspective and understanding on freight everywhere else. There are slow pockets in the freight industry right now but majority of all of it is general freight and that makes up most of what prime hauls. They’ve going downhill the past 4 years, I started with them back in 2018 and many long time veterans who’ve driven for prime for decades feel the same way. They’re spending all that money on a brand new massive terminal in Atlanta instead of gaining small footholds across the country, as a result their drivers are suffering now. You goto Upfield in Olathe KS, you’re gonna see 9/10 doors with a TransAm trailer in it…maybe 1 prime trailer. You know what transam got here that prime doesn’t? A yard and a shit ton of trailers at their disposal. There’s multiple days throughout the week where upfield is literally packed to the rim with loaded TransAm trailers and there’s not enough drivers to move them all. While I’m not advocating for TransAm, that my friend is what you wanna see as a lease driver and during my time at prime I never saw anywhere near as many of their trailers being loaded.
I definitely see your point. My first hand experience and perspective is definitely limited to running at Prime and what I gather from talking to people. Some of what you see online can be misleading. Especially a lot of comments. But the people at truck stops sing a similar tune when it comes to “post covid”, “election year”, “it’s a cycle every few years and covid delayed the down market”. Maybe I talked to the wrong people every single time 😅. But it makes some sense.
I haven’t been paying attention to how many trailers are on doors when I pick up. Will do that from now on. The few places that I recall(tyson and smythfield) didn’t have thaaaat many, maybe 5 or 6. But a lot of pre loaded trailers and 3/4 drivers picking up while I was picking up.
When it comes to the Atlanta terminal, I don’t entirely agree. I don’t know how much money they have to “play” with. But I would think they have their focus on multiple things simultaneously. Also, that terminal can be an indicator what they expect out of the market. Or maybe just Prime focused on growth to sell out🫠.
Am truck driver with prime inc keep doing what you doing Bro as long as you do what you like you going to be success and don't ever listen to this lizard
Always like live
Here 🎉
Does Prime still hire from FL? I heard they stopped?
They were. I’m from Florida and I was hired but that was back in 2016 and again in 2021. I’m not sure what the hiring is like these days though. Things are rough everywhere.
I think they stopped back in 2023 but not sure at the moment
I wanna know your average weekly settle for every week you have leased
I wanna win the lottery🤣…
@@Peruviantrucker yeah I know you don't wanna tell us because it will remind everyone that leasing does not make much more than a company driver
@@tommy.unfiltered yeah man, you got me🤷🏻♂️
@@tommy.unfilteredwhat are you, 12?
@@TianLong72k why do you say that?
Leasing is so stupid
Keep calling me stupid while you watch me succeed and make money🤷🏻♂️😎
@@an6077 nah, people are free to have their own opinion. I’m doing my thing. Hopefully they’ll come around someday. If not🤷🏻♂️
@@Peruviantrucker jeremy is a lovable troll who purposely combats us all. Dont take offense.
Who do you think benefits when you guys live in your truck and accept cheap rates ????
All you guys are doing is fkn up this industry!!
I had to adapt myself , so what I do , I run only 2-3k miles monthly . I’m not an idiot who will run 24/7 and expect to make more money .
Well adapt and stfu then.
We can argue about who benefits, and the market, and evil for-profit corporations that care about profits. The bottom line is that people are free to do as they choose within the bounds of law and morality.
@@Peruviantrucker that mentality is what is killing this industry . Individualistic.
When you understand that WE , all truckers depend on each other , this whole industry will change .
“No one can make it alone “ .
Why do you think those corporations created “ Lease purchase “ ???? Because it is the best way to make money . Legal way to exploit people .
Do you think is an accident that most of those drivers who get involved on signing into lease purchase have not credit , no money , have criminal record . Do you think that is casualty???
Unfortunately, if you guys don’t wake up , you guys will sink this industry .
If you succeed , I will succeed . It is in my best interest your success, do you understand ?
We must think that way .
That is the reason Perú is a very poor country with so much resources!!!
Because people are out for themselves!!
Criminals are murdering people left and right , and no one cares till happen to them.
We can’t bring that mentality here .
@@unperuanoenlascarreterasde9964 I like your sentiment and saying that truckers depend on each other. But that just ain’t true. Reality is that most people are out here for themselves. And I don’t blame them. I am all for solidarity and camaraderie. But at some point you have a family to support and that will trump everything.
I think the market is correcting itself after covid. There are just too many drivers for the amount of freight at this time. Lease programs have been around for over a decade.
Let’s entertain your view though. So, you are saying that people with no credit, no money, criminal record, etc are not allowed to better themselves? Because you are used to your lifestyle and what you are comfortable making? Theres no industry free of new players and competition.
When it comes to the situation in Peru. There is a difference between the people/politicians using their positions of power to profit because they are out for themselves and the people that are working hard every day to improve their quality of life because they are out for themselves. You know better than to lump them together.
But like I said. I don’t think either camp is wrong. Reality is that people do what people do. And I think the market will stabilize.
But I don’t know anything 🤷🏻♂️
@@Peruviantrucker nope ! I’m not saying that . I believe everyone should have a second chance , however , it is not fair that those corporations take advantage of those people . That is my point .
CEOs are out for themselves and their share holders , just like corrupt politicians.
Why do you think corporations don’t
Like UNIONS ? That is my point .
If we united, drivers , lease drivers , lease purchase drivers , independent O/O , we would be dictating the rates instead of shippers and brokers .
I respect your opinion , however we are all together in this boat . Believe it or not .
