I nicknamed them SUPERILLEGO WITHHOLDING MY MONEY
I have a client who recently found Super Ego was not what what they presented themselves to be and had to walk away.
I just did the same thing too
This video needs to go viral..
So to recap: You went to a second chance company based in Chicago, thats known for accepting drivers with felonies and drug violations. Run by European foreigners. You leased one of the most expensive trucks they had available. Then you were surprised you couldn't make good money legally?
How long have you been driving?
Lol
@@Scrippture bro I work here currently and it’s money here but you gotta hustle period. You gotta learn trucker math and you gotta drive that truck. Dispatch give you a load 900 miles for $1800 that picks up or loads early in the morning and has an ETA for next day delivery at 1 pm. You gotta know how to get required rest in between to be on time for your appointment. With a good dispatch, a good lane like mid west and a great driver, bro, you gonna get paid but in order to see your profit margin straight out the gate you gotta be bringing in at least 8 bands a week. With that you bringing home 2000-2400 checks.
@@MOOJAAHID here's some quick trucker math. Your example load was @ $2/mile and your minimum gross was @ 8k. So your saying you run 4000 miles a week to make money? Sounds like your making 50-60 cpm
@@Scrippture only thing matters to me is seeing $2000 in my personal account. All the other stuff is irrelevant foreal foreal
Shiiid long as the wife happy lol
And they just opened up a yard in my hometown of Jacksonville FL to! SMDH!
That's why they don't have personal conveyance. They don't want anymore red flags if you get pulled in for an inspection. How do explain to Mr. DOT man, your co-driver isn't in the truck?
They don't have PC?
Nope. They don't have PC. They don't have yard move. They don't allow you to use split sleeper. Pretty much anything legal, but that might cause a DOT official to dig deeper, is going to be prohibited.
He is right he also didn't explain how they play wit your hrs....
Super Ego call me twice a month, I started to go with them once I'm glad I did my research and decided not to go
It's about 30 negative videos on ego. It's a nightmare
You made the right choice.
Doesn't matter which way you roll the brokers and companys take all the money
I have no idea with so much info out here about basically the same companies drivers continue to go there.Drivers do better and get wiser!!! I'M JUST SAYING
How the hell can super eggo be still in operation, unless the FMSCA is in their pocket.
I don't think the FMCSA is in their pocket. I think the FMCSA just doesn't care.
@TouchingGrassOTR they don't know anything till an audit is done.
You pay for your drug test, 700 for truck, 225 for trailer, 255 for insurance, 25% commission for each load to the company, PER WEEK! You also pay for fuel, tolls and repairs to truck and trailer. Go to McDonald's you'll bring home more money.
Yeah super ego knows what they're doing,lol
They're feeding off the lack of knowledge by a lot of these drivers coming aboard....
Go look at their rates off of their load board.
You couldn't even make money there even if you came along with a paid off truck and trailer.
They've got this regular run from Chicago to Warren Michigan, And it shows $800 to the truck.
That's a g****** insult to Somebody trying to run a business with their truck
They also have loads going from the Chicago area to Albany New York paying $1800.....lol That's a $3000 run.
They feed off the lack of knowledge from people.
And they need to be exposed, and the novice need to be educated about this
Exactly @@StayingBack71
I make money at ego
U got to know how to run
I got a load from NJ to Arizona for 5500 dollars
This dude: I dont believe in govenrment authority
Also this dude: I am not gonna break the law.
😂😂😂😂
Simple.
I don't believe the government has a moral authority to use violence to force compliance.
I do believe the government has power to use violence to enforce compliance.
Should they exist? No. Do they exist? Yes. And they will harm me to enforce their laws. I want to stay safe so I comply.
@@TouchingGrassOTR so you let the government control you and your livelihood. You have given up even more freedom. If it was about safety they wouldn’t give certain sectors exemptions on the HOS it’s about control not safety.
This video explains a lot. I’ve been saying for forever that I see more dumb shit and bad driving from SuperEgo than any other trucks on the road and it aint even close. Hearing how they’re likely running and the fact that they’re ok with it tells me all I should have known.
Welcome too the Serbian community
Ummm.. Thanks??
Well, the first clue that they are no good is they are based in or around Chicago. I would probably say most likely run by Foreigners from Russia or Mediterranean area. I had a bad experience with Rafa out of the same area a few years back. Who tried to tell a company I was talking to that I abandoned the truck when I was still in it at home on my home time. Nothing more than a money laundering scheme. I advise to stay away from companies out of that area. I have never heard anything good from any of them the 14yrs I been driving. Stay safe out there and keep the shiny side up.
U get paid what super Ego tells you there giving u u know what you getting paid with ego don't matter what they make it matters what u make u got to watch fuel to make money and run hard
I am stressed just listening to your experience. I can't imagine what you were going through. I am struggling here at Western Express but I do use the Sleeper Berth option often and really enjoy it.
It comes in handy. What attracted you to WE given their reputation?
I think Good Guy Glenn uses sleeper berth as well
Its crazy @@TouchingGrassOTR
Crazy @@bretmoleta1860
Try Crete. Best company I worked for. Safety is strict but the loads are mostly drop and hook
I never even made it out of the hotel with those assholes MN 89 for me was the worst I worked for them for three months and didn’t receive a single paycheck
Three months with no pay bro ?,I would have left after one week!
Same here with MN 89
My thing is about that guy who said he made money here and has his on RUclips channel is I’ve literally said this to multiple people is if he actually made any money why the fuck is he in the office and according to what he told us he was making more money than any of the people in the office and people always said it’s because he doesn’t want to stay out as long as he does and I’m like okay I know owner operators that own there own truck and come home every load they pick they pick a load up go home deliver go pick up another load and go home but those guys aren’t just going home for one or two days they are literally going home for four days because if you have your own authority you have the control to chose the high dollar loads that you want and set that delivery time to whatever you want as long as it’s within a reasonable time frame
Very informative video I must agree with you about some Super Ego drivers not being very good drivers seen many out east out on the roads and they're scary how they go about their business driving trucks almost as scary as FedEx.. UPS.. R&L .. Sia..Estes.. Old Dominion drivers just to name a few good luck to you.
Had one blow the doors off me today was going so fast he couldn’t even stay in his lane when he pass me I was so mad his trailer almost touched mine
They drive with a super ego.
Dang @@Tyrie3790
I Find this Topic interesting in that you aren't the only video claiming the same... However, I task you with making a video where the evidence is presented in said claims. If what you say is what is truly going on, others should be warned, and the consequences should go to those performing in "Poor Business Models." I Like this video, but I come from a "News Background" where talk is just talk until the Evidence says otherwise. If such exists, and you're willing to provide same the very idea of that style of video would be a very compelling one for not only your channel, but others who would be willing to watch. I for one, have an open door to any possibilities. #JustSayin
Well if you need evidence, just look at the comments. There's a couple Super Ego drivers in here admitting to (and trying to justify) editing their logs. That should be all the proof you need. But I do still have the texts from my dispatcher talking about how 99% of the drivers do it and how I could make an extra couple thousand a week if I would do it. I figured I'd save that in case anything ever came up where I might need it.
Pay dispatcher 100 dollars.. you will make money there
Potentially although when I started I hinted to him that I'd find a way to share my success with him. Maybe I should have been more direct.
How do you pay a dispatcher located in another country $100? PayPal?😂🤣
There's all sorts of ways to move small amounts of money across borders.
Glad to know. I drive for Landstar, and I am doing OK money wise.
I am at USA Truckload doing good
I'm thinking I may try them out when I come back from vacation later this year.

Shippers provide load tenders. Brokers provide rate confirmations. If you really want to see what a broker is being paid, ask for the load tender. By law, they're required to show you. But, they won't.
beware! keep away from this company. 0% recommended! super ego and all the other companies that are in the same direction SUPER EGO
Fully agree!
So when u thought about Lease's what made u say Super Ego before ANY other lease? Everything u was looking for that super ego had , other companies had . You wouldve even did better at Hirshbach and they're mileage ! U shouldve ran when u seen that u had to pay for the trailer like i know drivers will have different experiences at companies but idk why yall keep going there wasting time when u hear a MILLION drivers saying the same thing. It's just crazy to me how you guys are still going there .
I have a long term plan of getting my own authority, so I was looking for a lease program that was as close to running fully independent as possible. I thought SuperEgo might be that way since they pass all the costs down to the driver, but my own inexperience with leasing led to some poor choices.
Another video of stupid ego
Driving from that chair dispatching all that time got you a taste of how drivers get screwed everyday.Lol good for you.Heads up very few of the new trucks last long enough to get them paid off.Pick your poison Def or Automatic trans.😂
This guy don't know wether he is a straight up guy or a fake rebel. He's an anarchist but follows the law? And through all of it he's broke? There will always be food on my table. No matter how I get it.
I'm a practical anarchist. I hate the laws and the government that created them, but I'm not an idiot. I know I won't win in a fight against the government. So I pick my battles. Running outlaw ain't worth it because I know I don't have to break the law to make money.
And there's a huge difference between cutting bait when you know you're fighting a losing battle, and being broke. I was losing money at SuperEgo. I didn't lose it all, because I went in with a healthy savings, and I was smart enough to get out before I wasted it.
Now, although I'm not making the kind of money I know I should be, I'm still making enough to live on, I'm adding to my savings, and I'm not putting myself and others at risk in order to do it.
@@TouchingGrassOTR I applaud you for warning.People who might be contemplating joining that company. The only thing that I found a bit awkward. Was your use of the word anarchist. By definition of that term, one would say that laws are irrelevant to an anarchist. That doesn't mean that you're without moral. But you are in a heavily regulated industry. And there are a lot of laws and even rules.That some of them don't even make sense that we have to follow. And again, I will say I applaud you for standing on your ground against the company who was trying to persuade you into committing actions that would bring problems for you with the law. I wish you the best. And I hope that you soon find your place in industry as we all are just trying to do what we can to support our families. Godspeed and be safe out there
Excellent intro, screwed up the rest of the video by eating, pausing to much...just trying to help coming from someone who wants to get directly to the point...
Thanks. I agree but it is what it is.
I thought the intro was s little disturbing with noise and distracted with the food thing. But I listened to the end
I can't believe from what you explained so far, you actually stayed a gave it a shot? Me, I would have been gone long before you left.
I could overlook all the illegal stuff they were doing, as long as I didn't have to do it myself. I had convinced myself that as long as I could make enough money for my needs without breaking the law, it didn't really matter how much they kept for themselves. It took a few weeks before it became clear they were skimming too much for me to be able to make money without breaking the law. I got out as soon as I figured that out.
I see you're very rude, you're doing a video (blog), but wanna eat, that is so rude!! I'm a trucker, I can fund time to di the video (blog) then eat! Learn respect and ear off camera!
So you don't have conversations with people while you have lunch with them? Or do you just always eat alone? Seems weird that would bother you.
Then he's on here like a DOT officer talking about editing logs ... He's been driving illegal he says 🙄
Let’s be honest if any company was taking only 12% of any load they would QUICKLY go out of business even with you taking on the cost of everything..the best and I mean the best deal possible is 20% take it or leave it and that’s being generous
Yeah, I won't make that mistake again.
Weirdo why lease purchase lol you’re going to lose every time no matter the carrier.
Because I don't own my own truck (yet) and I don't want to be W2.
Thanks for info
No problem.
You are doing excellent. constancy 💪
Gracias!!
If everyone can just go on a load board and dispatch themselves out of their trucks easy peay then everyone would be doing so. Even the ones who do have their own trucks paid off and have their own authority don't see it easy. Brokers don't have to tell you how much they getting paid and neither the shipper. Go straight to shipper ask them for loads any dealer will sell you a truck bad or good credit.
I get that these super company are clowns but why the hell is 3000 drivers clowning over there. They cant read a contract just seems absurd. Iam almost sure no company shows you 100 percent of the rates confirmations. They all playing these clown games. Dispatching yourself isn't easy and there plenty of brokers just like this Super company who aren't paying anything making up claims that never happened like TQL and then saying you owe them for delivering the loads. I hate all these dishonest shysters, thieves, conman and scammers. FMCSA isn't going to do sht except fine drivers.
I made a video response to your question:
ruclips.net/video/rftKT-Gu3Bc/видео.html
Thanks!
@@TouchingGrassOTR Appreciate it. Its great to be able to get some ideas to the questions and problems with Trucking. Subscribed.
I hired on with Trans Am trucking out of Olathe,kansas back in 2009. I lasted almost 2 years. Their lease program is set up to milk every driver of every penny. I didn't make anything while i was there. I talked with other drivers who were also not making anything. It was a complete scam. Not sure how they currently operate. But i did see them financially ruin many drivers while i was there. The most crooked company i have ever experienced.
Based on the number of trucks on the road, I'm guessing they're not doing so well these days.
There's nothing wrong with working for a carrier as an independent contractor, and lease purchase programs make that possible. The problem is when you can't take the truck you're leasing to another carrier if you decide the one you're at isn't a good fit for you. That's shady, and something to be avoided, unless you know going into it that is only temporary. When I leased from Super Ego, I never planned on finishing the lease. I specifically wanted a zero down, walk-away lease because I knew I wouldn't be there long term.
Great video
They did all that with me in the 2 months I drove for them try time Jordan rocket logistics and Floyd Inc all names that they use for the trucks
If you can't make decent money work LESS than legal maximum you not working with good company
Are you going to give your experience to fmcsa since they are investigating leases?
Nope. As an anarchist, I'm not interested in helping the government govern. Instead I'm taking the free market solution and informing people so they can choose for themselves.
If leasing your losing.

Man I do not miss worrying about that ELD. Ag Exempt means I get more time than there are hours in the week.
I personally don’t want to work for a big company. Been there, done that. For those of you that do, you have more patience than I’m capable.
Falsifying logs yhats why that truck look banged up.smh make your complaint
All the Chicago companies need the feds to come in, state express need to pay me 6,000 .
Avoid any company based out of Chicago.
Depending on the ELD you have to turn that feature on for it to show correctly.
Best video I've seen about Super Ego. Very detailed, and a shame that you won't take that to the authorities. It would make the roads safer. Assuming they did anything about it in the first place.
However, I think I understand your reasoning.
I don't think the FMCSA cares enough to do anything, even if I did report them. But I'm putting the word out.
I drove 3079miles with super ego in one week and my check was $509.00 that's 17cents per miles lol hell nah. Worst experience I ever had with a trucking company
@KennethHenry-ip4zi , they ripped you off. I'm guessing they also "fixed" your logs so you could drive more. Not only did they rip you off, but they put you at legal risk, too.
@@KILRtv ego is not that bad I make money there and there consistent with home time I can stay home a week no problem I can go home every other week or stay out 2and go home week other companies u can only go three days home and u have to be there 3 weeks out super ego it don't matter I go home when I want
@@KennethHenry-ip4zi that's because ur fuel was to high u got to watch fuel and don't fuel on Sunday fuel will make or break ur check
So you dont know what youre doing..... Shocking!!!
I'm tired of these drivers talking about ALL of these truck companies, saying they not making money, the company is running illegally but here's the kicker....THEY STILL STAY WITH THE COMPANY THAT THEY DISSING! stop getting on here bashing them just to get viewers. If you not making money why are you still there? Lol because you making money or you just don't know how to run the legal way! SMH! Get better, do better and you will see better results!
I got the hell out of there as fast as I could. So I don't know what you're even bitching about.
Their rate is what they tell you and not what the real rate is.
I didn’t know there was a good side
You’re getting co-brokered freight. Super Ego is a broker
Very informative video thanks for posting
If you have a truck, take it to F2F Transport out of Chattanooga, TN. You run off of the spot market with any load board you wish. There are no company drivers.
Unfortunately, I don't have my own truck yet, but I'll keep them in mind.
That was my favorite sandwich shop, dam you driver
Thats what i said when i was there this is a fucking circus
You drive for a Chicago trucking company, your aleeady illegal cause the are illegal.
Independent contractor.. Gives you a little bit of separation.
Maybe some of them drivers need to get the broker on 3way and be muted and ask super ego dispatch so the broker can also hear the lies
The brokers lie to the carriers all the time. Why would they care if the carrier lied to the driver?
I had no idea that outlaw trucking companies were still around. I thought electronic logs were going to do away with that?
Where there is a rule, or a technique to enforce that rule, there will always be unscrupulous individuals who attempt to cheat by finding a way to break that rule.
They use illegal ELD system, which they can give more hours...that's why there drivers are fatigue
Yep. They used to use ELD One which is one of the ELDs that got delisted. Now they use one called AktionELD. The problem is anyone can self-certify their ELD system and it's legal until the FMCSA decides it's not compliant. My guess is SuperEgo either developed their own software or are in bed with the developer and if it ever gets de-listed they'll just re-release it under a new company and new name. Just like they do with all their ghost authorities.
I did a load from texas to Florida and I talk to a super ego driver and they was paying for the same load 3,000 and i was getting pay 4,600 big difference
YIKES! But it doesn't surprise me in the least. Skimming off the loads and screwing the drivers is how they make their money!
If you didnt actually assign the sb ,you were in violation,if you assign it it takes it off your day,pretty simple
The FMCSA rulebook says the first break (2 or 3 hours) can be in either sleeper or off duty. Only the longer break has to be in SB. Their ELD software doesn't properly implement it and their ELD department are only trained on how to falsify logs, not how to actually comply with the law.
Check our Giltner in Jerome Idaho! Great lease program
I'll take a look!
Do u still work there
I'm not going to edit my logs boohoo😂😂
Then proceeds to claim he's not making money.
If you couldn't get with the program it was best to get out the way
Which is exactly what I did. The program is not only illegal but also puts everyone from the carrier to the driver to the people in cars near the driver at risk of fatigue related accidents. Not to mention you're in a position of having to trust a company that clearly is not averse to commiting fraud to both protect you from the law and not skim more on the rates than you think they are. Plus you're having to run more miles than anyone else to make the same amount of money. It's not worth it.
@@TouchingGrassOTR
I understand where you're coming from trust me. I definitely respect your point of view.
Buts that's why they call guys like me the 1%'ers..
It ain't for everybody I know.
Dont you pick your own loads off load boards now with them.
That's what they advertise. I'm not with them anymore so I can't say anything about it, but I've heard from other RUclipsrs their load board sucks.
You'd think they'd take that big logo off the trailer. Maybe dot dosen't know this open secret but I rarely see them stopped
Probably has something to do with the fact that they set up ghost carriers and cycle through them before they have the chance to get in too much trouble. Also, because the logs are digital and edited at the company, it's going to be hard for a DOT officer inspecting the truck to detect the falsification.
YOU MUST SUIT THEM FOR CRIMINAL EXTORTION TO COMMIT A CRIMINAL ACT DONE BY THEM
Nope.

You want to know if I'm lying or not, just go work for SuperEgo and find out for yourself.
@TouchingGrassOTR I am and I told you I never have been asked to drive illegal period.
I explicitly said in my video that to their credit, they will not force you to edit your logs. But they do make it an option. Tell me I'm lying.
I'm lucky. I drive northeast regional for a midsized company based northern New England. There are weeks I run entirely on split sleeper,either 3/7 or 2/8. Our log dept. understands and our ELDs compensate automatically. I can't imagine driving for a company that doesn't understand sleeper splits.
Exactly! I run split a lot too. It was a big shock to me that it wasn't an option there. No PC or Yard Move either. So many ways to run legal and get the job done, yet they choose to edit logs. 😳
I worked for a company not a big outfit..but did split sleeper all the time 2- 8...3-7...4-6...whatever worked...Dot checked at stops and always said I was in compliance as long as the first time in the sleeper was lower than the second..and had to be at least be 2 hours at a time
Technically, the shorter section doesn't even have to be in SB.. The rule says you can be off-duty or in SB. It's the 7 or 8+ that has to be in SB.
@TouchingGrassOTR most companies claim you can't go off duty bc you are still in charge of the truck..off duty relieves you of being in charge of the truck but there's always an argument when it comes to trucking lol

Ill stick with w2 instead of 1099
If you're ok with giving the government an interest free loan every week instead of having control over the money you rightfully earned, be my guest.
@@TouchingGrassOTR explain?
They kept blowing me up. What do I look like (A SUCKA)? SUPER EGO 👎🏾
@@indo3052 If you're a W2 employee, each week a good portion of your money goes directly to the IRS before you ever have access to it. You MIGHT get some of it back at the end of the year, but you won't have earned any interest, or had any ability to use or invest it in something that can produce additional income. Basically, you've given the government your money, let them do what they want with it for a year, and then get it back -- an interest free loan.
If you're 1099 or have an LLC, you get 100% of your money each week. You can use it however you want, put it in an interest earning savings account, put it in a CD, invest in stocks, crypto, your own business, etc... And at the end of the year (or quarter), you just cut a check to the government for the taxes you owe, which, depending on how you use your money and how good your accountant is, might be less (potentially WAY less) than what you would have paid under W2. But of course, you can only be 1099 if you own (or lease) your own truck. Sure, you may not be able to take advantage of some of the perks of being a company driver (like health insurance), but I'd rather pay only for what I use, and not give the government any more money than I absolutely have to, especially knowing what they do with it (wars, socialism, corruption, etc)..
@@TouchingGrassOTR I understand what you were saying. You are saying you would rather have the money temporarily so that you can invest with it.
I understand . One thing I might add though when you were a W-2 employee your Social Security tax is only 6% the employer pays the other 6%. When you are 1099 you have to pay the full 12%. So you need to do the math in your equation. Whatever your profit is deduct 6% of that original money.
News flash General freight loads are generally cheap
And they're even worse when the company is skimming.
@TouchingGrassOTR well if you find this to be true 1. You can leave ..2 stay and know they're a pos then fine something better
@@markstack2309 Which is why I got the hell out of there as fast as I could.

Giving Swift a run for their money.
I don't think Swift can even begin to compare. They at least make an effort to run safe and legal. Super Ego doesn't even try.
Swift is great compared to super ego
Been with swift for 12 years any of the big companies that train that have this issue but they do come down hard on drivers that do this thankfully unlike some I've seen worst ones are these fly by night companies
@@TheThirocswift sucks
Anyone that drives for super ego get exactly what super ego does to them...There is a ton of information about that company, as well as others, spread all over the internet, especially youtube. Do your research people!!! Its not hard at all to find out if a company is worth a damn or not. If people choose to ignore the signs, or are too lazy to research a company, then don't complain when you get screwed over....
And damn. Stop moving around and sit down. Haven't heard anything about super ego. So far it's all about you. Can we get to super ego meaning shut up about you
Dude, if you don’t wanna make money because you want to do it the legal way then just keep doing what you’re doing but stop complaining that there’s no money. Be a man and do what you have to do to take care of your family.
There's plenty of money in the industry, and you don't have to break the law to make it. Companies and drivers who recklessly put others at risk in order to make an extra buck should be called out for that.
So your definition of "be a man" is breaking the law? Sounds like the definition of "idiot criminal" to me. No wonder this industry is trash.

@@GeraldineTarver , it's your choice if you want to run illegal. The moment you are caught, you can kiss all that money goodbye. Anyhow, it's nice to know that there are truck drivers who think they are too special the follow the rules. Glad I'm not doing OTR anymore.
@@GeraldineTarver I don’t necessarily want to do things that illegal way, but we’re in a time right now where you have no other option if you want to make money.
They are called fairings
I've heard them called both. But when I crunched one as a rookie, the report from the company called it a cab extender.
Fairy?
