    You stay strong. I too had trucking suck the life out of me. Sometimes you really have to weigh the pros and cons of what you put out versus what you get in return. It's a tough choice . ❤ Thank you for sharing your story. We all support you 😊

    BTW, I wanted to add something. When a person is going through a bad time it is common to lose sleep because you get stressed out and your mind is racing. It is the very lack of sleep that makes things worse. The brain must have sleep to function well, so whatever you do make sure you get real sleep. It will allow you to process what you need to when you are awake without being in a state of panic. Take it from a older person, sleep means good cognitive function, with good cognitive function you can work through your troubles.
    Be well, you will get through this.

    I know what you feeling Miranda, I am having a mental breakdown almost every week, having to leave Florida empty 600 miles all the way to Atlanta, fixing things weekly in my 14 year old truck, staying in a truckstop in a workday because the freight on the board is not profitable, and having to borrow from friends and family everytime a major repair needs to be done, what about that? Living the American dream big time. My accountant told me this year that i qualify for food stamps if i want to go there. The best part is that no trucks are going out of business and brokers are having a blast at our expenses.

    I’m really sorry to hear about the setbacks, but every set back prepares you for a great come back, and thank you for taking the time and sharing your experience with us.
    Apply what you’ve learned regarding the set backs going forward, I really enjoy your content, and attention to detail with your research.
    What works for me is do not dwell on the things you cannot control it’ll consume and destroy you. I have lost a business in recent years during COVID and all the unpleasantry’s that come with it.
    Please take time to heal yourself mentally and physically I watch your videos and I can clearly see that this has taken a toll on you.
    I have daily routine to write down daily goals, exercise, healthy nutrition, meditation, affirmation every morning.
    It’s really sad to see what’s happening to the trucking industry, and most importantly to us truck drivers.
    Everyone please be safe and make good decisions.Prayers really do help!

But i prayed to my heavenly father and he has made a way for me to keep my business alive. Im going to pray for you and NEVER give up. Remember the ppl that done u wrong will get it worse 5x more than u will see multiple blessing coming to your feet. Its normal to be concerned about the things you care about but dont allow it to keep you swallowed up. You have our support and love

    So terribly sorry. I am on the LTL side of the business and the low cost competition and customers wanting to squeeze every penny of profit out of our company is sometimes overwhelming. I remember back in 08-10 there was a drastic drop in business. Trucking companies hauled to pay the fuel and that is totally unsustainable. It will get better for you in the coming months. Watch your pennies and stay strong. You will survive and be stronger on the other side. Take care

    @damjandikanovic1581 Месяц назад

    Honestly this is nuts. Ive been in this game for 18 years and it has never been so tough. I have 15 company teams and struggle every day to cover. Payroll is becoming a challenge , for the first time ever im late on truck payments, I dont answer the phone for anyone I dont know. I always had the best loads and contacts and was well known as the best dispatcher. Now my contacts and the "relationships" I have worked so hard to build and uphold thru exceptional and honest customer service are all forgetting about how a relationship is supposed to function. I would hate to give up as I am a strong and stoic person for the most part but I have mental breakdowns almost daily now. I hate what this has become. All my trucks were bought at normal prices and interest rates and the math is still not there no matter how many costs i cut. I have so many people depending on me and the weight is getting soooo heavy on my shoulders.

    For God to give you this much to overcome, He must think highly of you. When you’re exercising in the morning try to stare at a single point and think of nothing. Don’t allow a single thought to enter your mind. When you fail, clear your head and start over again. Repeat until you can go 20 minutes without thinking. Take control of your mind or it will control you.

Pray, give it to GOD and don’t take the stress and worry to bed with you. Try to give yourself a few hours each night doing something else or relaxing before you sleep . I know it’s easy to say , not so easy to do but life is short . Don’t ruin your health , mentally or physically stressing and worrying about tomorrow.

    Well my depression is in full swing. Stuck in Maine with the only loads at $1.15 to $2.22 at the moment. Everyone need to stop hauling this trash. So I’m going home and park for a while. I suggest everyone else take a vacation this includes the mega carriers. I know the larger companies are taking this cheep freight to keep their drivers moving but at this rate they are hurting everyone and prolonging this dread and preventing a recovery. We really need a minimum rate if this doesn’t recover soon. $0.55 a mile and it gets hauled is stupid
