- Well guys I saw this coming a mile away! I knew that there were rats at the company that hated hard but as of the last video seemed like some clown in upper management didn’t like what I had to say on the crooked agents that they support. Anywho hope y’all enjoy this one!

AK i'm a retired driver 43 yrs. Long haul i retired in 2018 at 68 yrs.old im 73 now and i would never say you would go to job and job ive watched you for quite a while now and i must say you are a hustler bud you got to do what is right for you the hell what people say they aint paying your bills i have much respect for you driver be safe and things will work out for you take care my man!!
Amen brother
Big facts
Sorry to hear about your predicament. I used to be leased to a company for many years and had a super haul from where I live to Louisiana that grossed 5.00 a mile for all miles and your special co that your talking about sent their salesman in and offered them one half the rate and was told to get off their property and not come back. Shipper said he didnt want some cheappo outfit hauling their 1 million dollar machines. Youll do ok, but were in a terrible trucking economy right now so expect it to be lean trucking times. Take care, Bill
At the end of the day, companies don't care if you live or die, more or less feed your family. They are criminal and the whole industry is corrupt nightmare. Good on you speaking your mind. Put yourself first bro, fuck the haters and bs.
I’ll say it again for those in the back. Bennett has very cheap freight. Be warned if you want to go that route.
Bro Landstar is actually pretty solid rn, i would come back over.
Armine you did the right thing stand your ground and tell the Truth. Better opportunities will roll around eventually. Take Care Man
There's good and bad at every company. Ups and downs. You should probably never left Landstar.
As a owner operator that’s pays your own fuel a and truck notes you gotta go where the money is at even if you haul for 1000000000 companies don’t matter and f what people say hustle and ride until them wheels fall of bro let’s teach this new generation of truckers what trucking really is not this pu$$y shit they trying to do
It's kinda crazy how many shitty companies are out there in this industry and how many rats are in it too. You'll move on to bigger and better bro.
I feel like I was a bit too harsh on your last video about negotiating rates etc. Hopefully I didn't come off like a complete dick my bad. I've been watching since you first got the XL and know you ain't no spring chicken you've been working these roads for years now. you really had some good points in the video man. We're all out here just trying to make a living and put down them miles.
If there's a problem every where you go maybe you need to step back and look around. How many loads did you not get because you didn't have tarps?
Go to work for Cargill and run east .Never run out of freight people got to eat
It's tough out here. Al most of us cab do is keep expenses down as much as possible. Good luck AK!
Maaaaaaan just keep it pushing.
It's always gonna be something especially if you're doing good.
I've been watching your channel back when you were pulling containers and you had the black hood on the classic.
I wish you the best bro-ham and I'll keep watching your channel.
Welcome to being a lease operator. No matter where you go it's always going to be the same, these companies have it dialed in and will make money off you and leave you for dead with a long line of more suckers ready to fill your shoes.
The crappy market rates don't help with percentage pay, more trucks than loads available. Customers trying to cut back on cost gets tossed back to us drivers. I contract for a large reefer company, people will always need to eat to survive. I get paid flat mileage rate no matter what the load pays
No Judgement about you leaving a company to find a better one bro. You got to do what’s best for your family. May God Bless you in Jesus Christ Name Amen.
you showing the reality we appreciate that keep head up we hope we can make it thru it 🫡
You have to find one agent in any company or two no more than 3 and stick whith them if they have freight if u can do this you will be ok just because your agent is a littel slow one week don’t leave them find a good agent that don’t lie and treats you good and stick whith through the good and bad help them whith the cheap loads to and you will do ok
I went from owner operator to driving a dump truck as a company driver. The market is just trash right now. Been watching for a long time and I wish you the best! If you like flatbed, I've heard good things about Tennessee Steel Haulers. Never been there myself though.
Wishing you the best on your next Adventure my brother 🙏
Hell yea man, best of luck on your next journey
I always watch your videos as soon as they pop up. Take that for what it is and keep on truckin bro
Tanker is where it’s at, I’ve never been OTR but I’m pulling tankers in Texas most OTR drivers who come onboard never go back OTR
I really have enjoyed your content. I was a driver in the Vietnam War and when it was over, I ended up working for Caterpillar making diesel truck end engines in Mossville Illinois. I always thought if I’d stayed in trucking I would have follow your example. So I’m really sorry you’re struggling. My advice is stay focussed and continue chasing your dream. Best wishes.
Thank you for your service! My father was a marine in Vietnam. Multiple myeloma cancer got him from the agent orange and he was in camp lejeune for 10 months he passed at 75yrs old. Good man and God bless sir
America thrives on division. I have been parked since February because, I refuse to run my truck for those cheap rates. If you’re always hauling freight that puts you one breakdown away from bankruptcy, STOP! Especially if you own your rigs outright. Get a local job until things get better, and ignore all the hater’s. No one can knock you for trying. And all them paperpushers in the office that don’t have a pot to piss in… they’ll find out one day just like the ones at Convoy.
Biden admin. wrecked my young/small company within 3 months
Good Luck with the next journey. You aere very articulate in the reason, we got it, it sucked! You will succeed in any and all adventures you take on. Your young, ambitious and talented. Keep your head held up high, you are so better off then many, you own the truck and have experience! Keep us updated, lets grow this channel, we all support you!
Lol Ak takes apart that dash more than a child takes apart legos in 5 minutes.
Landstar, is paying 65% and the average Load, is less than 2.10 per mile, and there load Board, is chalked full of High Priced Fake Loads, that don't really exist, it's a Terrible time in trucking.
First off you need your own trailer, second the rates suck right now! It’s a struggle for us all just to keep above water, hopefully it will turn around soon. Good luck in your next venture 👍🏻
Bennett sucks bad I went through the exact same thing while I was there I just quit 3 months ago
I’m glad I’m not the only one
AK keep your head up bro I ended up coming off the road to drive local bro to secure the bag keep doing you bro 👊
If everyone would just quit driving, the industry would change.
Can’t
Good luck on your future endeavors
Hang in there AK, you got to do what’s best for you👍👍👍
On wards and upwards dude. Can’t wait to see what’s next
They just called me yesterday about bringing my truck over and hauling camper trailers with a 53ft stepdeck...I told them to holler back in January but I don't know now...I take advice seriously and I appreciate your video and I'm second guessing until I see a change in the rates
It's better if you have your own Trailer. Cause when I was there. The trailers were trash And if you don't catch on They are not gonna help you And no one communicate.
@terrancebowden467 wow, something like crst Malone..appreciate the info
Truck drivers have the most at risk: equipment, safety, time away from family, in a shady industry. I tell every driver to jump around until they find a good spot.
Bro my hats off to you for doin your Home work on these companies.. keep dumping them bro .. eventually you will find what make you happy.. I do the same do me wrong and ain't making no money I keep it moving .. Crap companies are a dime of dozen.. but professionals driver that loves what they do are hard to find .. good luck bro ..
I spoke with a recruiter at B and ask for paystubs to prove what they were claiming.
She gave me the back & forth and I knew it's all talk to get you there.
Seniority means alot in small company's just the way it is.
Bennett is a billion dollar company lol wouldn’t really say they are small
You own your own truck. Nobody fired you. Do what's best for you. Pulling Tanker is paying good money. 👍
Maybe it is time to do something else. Every one is complaining about the same thing. Either tough it out until it gets better or totally leave and do something else
I would love to see you pull a reefer with Dakota at Life Behind the Wheel.
One broker told me anyone giving $3 mile isn't going to be in business long. I believe the brokers are racing to the bottom too. Everyone is burning each other. Those brokers are going to get to the point were they will have no one pulling for them just the desperate ones and they will go bankrupt. It's going to get real ugly for brokers too.
🤦 I was just looking into Bennett was starting to wonder why I didn't see many videos by actual owner operators leased to them......
I'm at a dedicated carrier that pays good except loads have disappeared It's dead ....
I too am stuck with a dash cam which ain't a problem...
The problem is I'm babysat now every speed limit sign no matter what....
i know who you are talking about he is very smug and under minding I was gonna go there because of you.
I WILL NEVER GIVE ANY ONE THAT SATISFACTION OF SAYIN THEY FIRED ME NOR SEE ME FAIL JUST NOT GONE HAPPEN
A referral is called a bird dog
Bro ran flat bed without a tarp?! Ha! Bruh wants his cake and eat it too. Takes fuel cost out of the rate before he considers changing his driving style, or his equipment. He never does wrong, but all these companies are terrible when the only common denominator in it all is ak... weird...
Damm bro I’m getting 3.80 a mile in Landstar but I’m on a dedicated route
Take good care ak truck be safe out there
You gotta do what you gotta do brother. Fuck everybody who tries to negatively impact you man
Yea you need the tools for the job ramps the right trailer if you don't wanna tarp flatbed ain't for you but you gotta do what you have to landstar and Bennett
I work there at Bennett.
I like you to say those agents have nothing but cheap loads. I was told by 1 engine 1 time. Trying to get 250 a mile that somebody would do it for 175 a mile. But I got sick in Fort lauderdawent to the hospital for 15 days.
After I got my phone, call them and let them know that I was medically Quitting, haven't heard nothing from them.
But daily express. A company that I don't work Wat least twice a week. They give me a call to see how I am.
But whatever you do. be safe out there.
Preach it brother
Trucker Ak you should consider Indian River Transport out of Florida since you are based out of there. They are a great company and money is really good. All liquid tanker.
LTL is the only way drivers can make money. I left landstar. The best thing i did for myself. If you would like more information let me know. We need 1 more driver. It's gonna be slow till January.
I can not find a decent spot as a company driver and watching you get treated like garbage definitely does not give me confidence to become an owner op. Maybe you can find a good dedicated run on your own. A Owner op buddy of mine has a run from Fargo to Minneapolis 5 days a week he is home every night... those gravy runs are out there. Idk
AK keep giving me information. That's what your channel helps me out with. I'm always listening to you and hope to make $$ with you
You doing good bro keep up the good work
Bro you’re absolutely right a lot of haters and those guys they have killed this industry
AK Mr cool guy 😊 Always enjoyed your videos 👍🏻
YOU DOING THE RIGHT THING SHOWING US WHAT'S UP FACTZ
If you can find contract work pulling refers that would be good. Rate fluctuations don’t affect you. And $3.00-$4.00/mile
Hey brother, best of luck with your new journey. If it's what we discussed in TX, I hope it works out well for ya. Keep ya head up and them wheels rollin.
Cool stuff man 👍
Don't keep going thru the same thing if you made enough money just go out and get your own authority and put them in your back pocket lease you will have more control I hope things work out I parked my rig soon as thing get better
Good Luck. Thanks for the video.
It's your truck but you have to put bennetts camera in your truck (probably driver facing too...she oot!)...bennett treating you like you're their beach! ATLAS...that's where you are at.
Keep improving bro ! U don’t owe these companies anything.. these companies are afraid of the truth..
Sounds like how is was 2004 to 2008 at bennett. They take to much money. The agents have there favorites. Then alot of them brokers have there own trucks. Which the good frieght will go on there own. Nice to see they havent changed
Why the heck you have music on while you talking?
Great video
God bless you brother and your new journey as well
HEY THERE, 👋 I BEEN LOVING YOUR VIDEOS. IS THAT THE CAR THAT WAS IN THE GARAGE? TAKE CARE YOUNG MAN. I SEE YOU HAVE PUT ON SOME WEIGHT. STAY POSITIVE AND KEEP HUSTLING!!!
Tried it with Bennett in 2015 sat sat sat all cheap freight. Said that’s it Retired.
You have your own truck. Why not make the investment, get a trailer and do it on your own. No more dealing with the company bullshit.
That is the culture of trucking these days
Your issue is you need to lease on a company with direct customer freight. Maybe move out of fl, come to the Midwest. I run Midwest flatbed leased on to a company with direct freight and do quite well.
Alec is hiring owner ops to do flat bed work
what up drivrrr if u dont want that camera in your truck i would of never went over there and work for them if u dont like it there u should just quit them and go back to Land star Ok see go back there and talk to the Land star people that can fix yo problem u had with them and u can go back there to them right 😂😂
It’s tough out here but I’m still sticking to Mercer flatbed. I’m not getting rich but it’s paying the bills.
Meanwhile I just talked to a CRST driver who showed me the crst load board and those guys are getting $4.10 a mile contracted flatbed freight from Ohio to Bristol Connecticut..... $3.80 from Indianapolis to Charlotte .....
🤔 Bennett can't get those numbers You got to be s******* me That's like saying Superman can't change his own tire....
He needs to start his own company lol
He’d end up leaving at some point as well 😂…….. at some point its not the companies
get that authority.
Bennett absolutely sucks!! I went with a guy that did heavy haul 8+ axle and they literally had no freight coming back to TN I always had to deadhead back for free 🤦🏻♂️ rates are low as hell.
Man, stop looking at the BIG companies. Back in 2006, I leased on with a small outfit (only 30 O/O tractors, no "lease purchase" or any of that crap). It was 85 per-cent of the load, and they didn't even look at a load that paid less than $3.00. Oh and, I NEVER talked to a broker... only to the dispatch, that was a co-owner. And again, that $3.00 a mile was back in 2006. No Qualcomm, no forced dispatch, no looking for a load yourself, everything over the cellphone. "You want the load??? It only pays $3.00 a mile". "No". "OK, I'll keep looking". Fifteen minutes later, "Got a load that pays $3.40 a mile". "Yeah, I'll take that one". Was with them until a bitc... girl texting took me out in 2012. Had a heart attack on the way to the hospital in the meat wagon. So much for driving. Landstar??? At 67 of 98 per-cent??? Yeah I did that. How stupid. There are plenty of small outfits out there that pay top dollar and will treat you right. You just have to look for them.
Ak, I enjoy all your post. Stay focused bro 💯
Keep your head up, brother. we all out here struggling, but we keep praying it gets better soon. Dont let people stupidity keep you down.
I totally agree.. where you going to drive for? Keep up the awesome videos bro
Blessings. Hope you find your place bro.
Love the video man! & Whats the background music please? Its beautiful no lie
Bennett stole 1700.00 from me in 2009 worst company ever. My dispatcher cried on the phone everyday scared of her boss. Terrible company.
Get your own authority. Put your name on the side of that truck and haul for whoever you wish, being leased on your putting yourself in a box in my opinion. When whatever company your leased to slows down or gets bad freight your stuck, own authority you can just say no to bad freight and move on
If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense 👍🏾
Keep doing your thing and keep your head up don't worry about negative folks
FLEENOR BROS has nice equipment for company drivers something to look into good luck trucking is a hard business to be in.
Trucker_ak
u in FL u need to get with legacy and get a frameless behind that unit!
Job hopping
I drove for them for about a year and a half. Was pulling a crappy trailer and they wanted to charge me for maintenance And A hub seal that was put on incorrect.
Man my trailer all 4 hubs are pissing they’ve replaced the gaskets like 3 times mfers still leaking can’t win for losing
Just about every trailer on tha n yard Georgia is crap.
I went through the same shit with them
And they all the same with Bennit non but problems
