Raul Mendez, Texas Chrome Transport
49 year old born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. Family owned business that started back in 1975. I started my own trucking company back in 1996 as a owner operator with the financial support of my father and mother. TCT was founded in 2011 and focusing in transportation of frac sand for Oil & Gas Industry.
About time y’all got this family on!!! Raul and Roland are solid dudes
My respect for the dad I have met him and he’s a genuinely humble person
Arriba 🇲🇽!!
His story is similar to mine and trust me it takes a lot of sacrafices 😢 it’s really hard but never give up ! I called it quits a few times because of life situations but there’s not a better feeling in life than to make yourself proud and in the end people will respect you trust me! Keep going !!! 👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Another great interview. Going from $12 per mile to $3 per mile can hurt but $3 per mile is fair in the market.
Al-Amin bros next . Nobody talks about multi temp or trans loading 🚂🚛
Where are they located
This is a great interview I love it congratulations brother!
Great interview thank you
Great interview 👍 👏 👌
When are y'all going to interview "Chasing Andrew Jackson" check him out on RUclips
Roland his brother confirmed Season 4
I’m from piedras negras coah!! Raise in TEXAS
San Antonio #210 💪
Can we make it standard in the interview were they tell us how to start in their industry? He doesn’t want competition you can tell from him not answering the question. He just wants free publicity.
It’s trucking bro nobody is in competition it’s enough money for everybody
@@dog2874 exactly
I felt that vibe as well
@@dog2874 if it isn't competition then why are people complaining about other people taking cheap freight.
@@duncanjoiner7319 there is enough work for everybody ! But what if you was working a job . Matter of fact temp service (because thats what trucking is) paying $15 an hour for job then next week same job is paying $10 but people are taking it. Then months later the same job pays $8 hr. Would you be able to survive off $8 hr? I know youre going to yes ,but that is whats going on in the trucking industry .
This dude was tiny when they did the show in 2015.. he really hit the gym
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite show texas chrome
i wish you can adjust the Mics , your closer / louder , hes farther away so turn his up ........................
Mendez bro's are awesome people I use drive for Mendez I need stop by your store to buy shirts and caps in blue be safe God bless you and your family and your business
Why would you create another company if it's sole purposes to do in-house mechanic work only
Taxes
😂😂😂
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
It was a very awesome transformation, No greater joy than seeing my progress in an initial decision..
Mrs Charlotte is my professional assistant, I have been trading with her for 8 months now... I've really made over $200,000 from her strategies in trading of cryptocurrencies.
Oh please, how can someone get to speak with Mrs Charlotte Junko Walsh !!?
