430 mi a day so you fuel bout every 2 1/2 days...5 day work week you killing it my guy you the real MVP
@@thatsreality5184 No GOVERN...The truck is paid off its his !
Not in a day cab..hes fueling more frequent than that.
@@divinestrength1774 but less weight since no sleeper, so less $$$ in fuel (for the rookies)
I drive a day cab. I have to fire every day. The truck is governed to 65 and I make 2 round trips between plants. They're 99 miles apart. Loads are about 25k pounds up and about 18 on the way back on average. I have 2 65 gallon tanks. I'm in Alabama in flat ground as well. Traffic is relatively light compared to Indy. Lots of variables and I tried to include all those that I could think of.
Oh yeah.. I drive an automatic.
Ain’t it funny how “others” always tell you it’s impossible?! Yet, you as the person manage to bet the odds with 3 little thing called patience, dedication, and perseverance.
Thanks for sharing..... your dot#? Your plates? And insurance? Thanks Eddie
I am old enough to be your grandfather as well but I am white. But my chest is also puffed up proud of you son. Happy for your success. Dont rest on it though. I agree with BAMA that God has blesses your endeavor. Make it a point to Thank Him for your wisdom DAILY and His favor on you. Tithe your GROSS and pray for protection for your drivers. Let your life be a witness to those around you. Reach out to others to give back to others as well. Keep up the good work son!
Why did you feel the need to let us all know you were White? Does that have any significance to this video.
@@bdub78dub90 thank you That's what I was saying.
Dave kri Like that in you...End of the day we all 1.
Bdub78 dub the comment from Bama above puts a lot of emphasis on color, being black, finding black work, partners etc. this guys agreeing in a similar dashing but stating his color since that’s a talking point today. I think what this dude’s doing is great, I look forward to
More videos. Both had comments had Nice things to say
Remember sir Black people don't care what race you are when you say something good. It does not matter, equality is what matters to us. Nice comment otherwise.

Great job young man, when there is a willingness then a way is made. Very proud of you and your business. 🚚 🚛
Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for sharing this info bro! I pull doubles with a day cab as a company driver but I'm working towards doing my own thing so I'm always watching for their trucks to go up for sale. This is even more motivation ✊🏾😎
Good for you young man. It makes me proud to see a guy make up his mind n just go for it. Wish you success...God bless you
Love that attitude. Great knowledge. Thx for sharing.
I love the way u explained everything...Great Job
Man I just love what you're doing young brother and the love you're showing sharing your knowledge and experience... Much respect...
I tried telling people that for years but they rather run on that hamster wheel. Just take a day every now and then to visit companies and ask for freight . Then make it work.
All in all its just a rat race . With the brokers cutting rats agent orange aka DONALD DUCK Trump taking away damn near all the writes offs and all theses new rules and fees . I know better. I been doing this too long . If u dont have a government contract lock down or something concrete. Let u said u just spending your wheels going nowhere fast . Straight like that
Good advice
@Dixie Frank . Office space telephone live line printer meals boots clothes etc.....
Agent orange gave all the 1% big tax cuts under his b.s. tax plan .how u think its gonna get paid for. By taking away from the working poor and so called middle class. Really its no more middle class. Its haves and haves not!!
Yeah. Its a damn mess . Agent orange got to go in 2020
Exactly what my plan is. Day cab and all. Lol everyone calling me crazy but whatever. Glad to see someone else with some sense
@JNS TRUCKING INC. I can get an occasional motel room and not have to get dressed to go to the can in the middle of the night.
@@stevenredman1582 I piss in the bottle. Have you ever?
JNS TRUCKING INC. It's not about the type of TRUCK you drive.. It's the type of freight you haul. And it's not ALL about the distance. It's the bottom line payout..Think about it... Otr....cpu logs.... Traffic ... Weather.... Brokers and their b.s. Great money to go to Cali but piss poor cash coming out to go ALL the way back to the eastern coast, which takes more than 7 days on e logs. Various fuel rates due to the region and state man They constantly squeeze blood from a turnip then if you break down you're stuck out waiting and you still may have to opt for a hotel or grab a rental then have to try to double back empty or loaded to get your truck after the repair and you're living out of a truck for Weeks out at a time over the road Hell naw
I found a local gig home daily starting at 4 a.m. Done by 4 pm running approximately 300-500 miles daily
Grossing on average 1800 weekly sometimes 2200 on a 5 day schedule as a company driver and get perks and more cash for working a 6th day
And they deal work owner ops, they have their own division within the company
So it can be done in a day cab
I know an o/o who started with one day cab now he had 3
Think outside of the box... Trucking has changed so our mindset must change as well in order to thrive.
Also duh genius, a day cab is cheaper to buy .......... And if you have to get a hotel..... Hello... It's a tax write off.... Can you say business expense!!!!
Von lmmfao
Exactly
Really good, happy to hear you are doing well and thanks for encouraging the rest of us in telling us that it is possible.
Really enjoyed your video, love to see a young person grind it out and make it happen. You are proving that those who say it can't be done just need to get out of the way of those who are doing it. Well done!
Very informative, your giving me inspiration
The lord has blessed you with this load . Good stuff!
I told my wife the same
Simply put, you are a great young man. Keep up the good work my brother
Props to you,for not giving up.and staying focus on your goal.
You are winning bro I just subscribed
You've made a good deal for yourself, good info, thanks.
Wow. Simple, straight to the point. You couldn't have said it better! Very inspirational! If only others would take the time to understand.
Love it! Keep working those opportunities!
Create contacts with shipping managers. It's not difficult folks.
willis kearney so in this process u don't need a DAT board??to get your loads off , just contacts from different companies?
Can u explain?
odessie grant they won’t call the broker to move freight around. They cut off the middle man and pay the driver more if you’re an owner operator
Young brother you are doing the damn thank. Mad respect
We dont need no tricky rickys telling this young man how to hustle !!!!
Keep grindin, bro!!! That's a solid hustle!!!!
Good Job David, Hard work and effort is the key and it seems that you have that. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome dude! You are the man! Way to persevere!
What I've learned as an company OTR driver, to make money worth while.
1. Keep your record clean, and gain 2+ years driving experience
2. Don't be agreeable with your pay, and whatever truck they hand you.
There's always a company out there that'll actually pay you for your worth.
I've been driving for 2.5 years, & haven't come close to finding a company that has any integrity, nor that pays worth a crap. Literally, the only way to make a good buck in this industry, is to be an OO. I just don't have the capitol for buying a tractor right now.
So, I'm out of this business...
Amen to that always try & get the most for your time and Effort!!
What I learned as a company driver, driving for Swft: I should have quit, 3 minutes after having been hired...
Moral of the story: Don't drive for LARGE Fortune 500 companies. They don't give a fuck about you, & will rip you off every way they can.
Fun Fact: Waiting on hold for 1.5 hours to get ahold of your driver leader, is horseshit!
@@fobbitoperator3620 I heard Walmart is hiring with 2 years of experience.
@@thisismagacountry1318 Gonna give Werner a try. Their trucks go 68 mph. Better than 65, a little...
Can't never could. Do your thing
Great info. I have been driving for over 27 years I am still learning things.
All this and you are home every day, congrats on your system. I should’ve watched this a long time ago. Keep it up, I’ll keep in touch.

how many hours do you go to the buisness per day im 16 planning to work in tech and do forex crypto stocks on the side so when im like 20 ill start with like 5 trucks so do i have to be there all the time or can i get someone to manage it for me
Power to you my brother, i love to see people doing good things in life😊😊😊
Watching the video just gave me the inspiration i need to make the jump into dry van/reefer. Im currently running bulk cement Avg 2-2.50/mile, my biggest issue is i dont want to live out in the truck. Your killing it and you home everyday. Keep it up man. Thanks for the video!!
I am Truly Happy to See a Young Brutha Getting Ahead of the Game.
I've been at this going on 20 years. I had multiple trucks and employees. But now I am currently in someone else truck.
My Goal is to get My Own Truck Again and Do It Right This Time Around.
I Only Wish that We had Someone Like Yourself, and a Few Others Out There, Who Are Willing to Share in Their Knowledge of this Game when I started.
My grandfather drove his truck in mexico and grew to have 50 trucks. My father today owns 10 trucks in mexico. Im in new Jersey and looking to open a truck company here. Perhaps you can share your knowledge or become owner of a fleet if we partner up. My credit is good and make money with my actual job. Knees hurt and.look to be owner of a fleet. If you dont have time to answer is no problem . nothing personal
@@ThetennisDr
My advise to you is:
Work What You Know. You are not going to make it big hauling tankers 'IF' all you have been pulling is a van. Learn all that you can about the field of Trucking that you are in.
Be Willing to Do the Jobs that Others Won't but Do Not Go Broke Just to Do Those Jobs.
In my case: I will never have any more employees due to the fact that, I Enjoy driving and managing Myself and Not Managing Others.

Hey thanks champ for this visual. Would like to contact you with a few questions. If possible. Thanks champ
We will reach out to shortly. Knowledge is needed! Thanks
Great job !! You are making great money !! All the best to you !!!
I drove a daycab as a company driver for 11 years and stayed in motels. Rather stay in a motel than in a truck any time. It was a dedicated route also. Company paid all expenses initially but toward the end they started getting stingy with the meals . Ran about 1500 miles a week working 60 to 70 hours per pay period hauling there own product. Usually grossed about 70k a year.
What company was that?
If you're driving in an automatic, I have found ways of sleeping on the floor between the seats or bring a cooler put it in the middle and then you can sleep across both seats.
what do you tell DOT when you're pulled over DOT
That You camp out in the cab 🤣🤣😅
It’s not legal. To legally satisfy the DOT in a day cab you must sleep outside the truck(hotel or at home)
Facts!!!! I know plenty of owners that pay the driver a little extra for sleeping in the day cab. I'm fortunate enough to be able to find cheap sleepers with blown engines to avoid all that dot stuff. I have no clue how they avoid dot about the situation.
@@BoostedDeere f#ck the dot.
Nice video! Keep pushing them out.
Impressive. Positive attitude!
I'm very close to putting my plan into action. Man, if I could ever get a dedicated like yours, whoa that'd be amazing. Nice work, David. Good to know that this came out of Indy too!
Free game, I respect
Nice job McGill, You should be proud!
calmest soul I've ever seen, you sounds like a nice guy 👍🏾
Look for auctions of going out of business type, where they maintained the fleet... get a cheap air ticket to florida or wherever, you will save $5k at least. I got a 2012 Mack Pinnacle with 400k that had been on dedicated turnpike run (smooth, not hard on truck) to Philly, $9,500 with only 400k on MP7 motor and truck is super clean. There are deals out there. Avoid other auction trucks (they usually have a motor that is about to blow (trust me, and re-read that), avoid trucks you can't get an oil sample checked, or those without maintenance records. Learn about manufacturer maintenance, was it done by a third party? Keep learning.
The best money I made in trucking was running auto parts to Indiana from TN on a round trip at landstar... Like you really really live in a gold mine in the midwest.i can't stress that enough. Milk them dry if you can.
Do you think if i start one in the border of mexico and usa will be a gold mine? I live in texas border with mexico
Great that you would share this with us, in my time I did flatbeds and followed much the same as you... God bless
Good job bro. Never give up.
Very inspirational bro ! I’m 25 , been driving for 3 years , I plan to buy my first truck this year. You made me feel better about daycabs, short runs, & being a business owner completely!
Hey Garian, thanks for watching. Keep in mind, a daycab will somewhat limit your loads. My situation made sense for me to start with a daycab, but sleepers will offer more options so don't just buy a daycab bc of a RUclips video. Make sure you buy something that will fit your needs. Best of luck
Thx. Ur the first person that I can remember actually explaining AND showing in a classroom style(not in a truck smoking on something) how we can possibly follow your steps.. For those still new to industry, ur white board explanation is better for me.

Hi Mr, McGill, first off, congratulations on your success. I wanted to ask you which load board or broker service have you found to be the most beneficial?
Hard buisness when your learning the ins and outs
Man I just want you to know your a blessings!! Respect King!
Great video. Your information helps the rest of us open our minds up and get better ideas in this industry. Much appreciated. 👍
I’m going to be getting laid off from my current job in a month and getting a CDL is my number 1 priority. I plan on getting a WIA grant and doing something different with myself. I actually live close to Columbus Ohio so hopefully I can find some jobs there.
Do it 🤪💕💕💞
Whats a wia grant
@@rickyharvey4835 Workforce Investment Act
Nice video. Great advice and, as the economy continues to decline, the opportunities to take contract dedicated direct loads from shippers will increase. Small and large fleets alike are shuffling their driver rosters to eliminate the marginal producers and those with sketchy CSA scores. Do your homework about the area you want to run in and spend some time calling on whatever shippers you want to haul for. If you present yourself properly and sell your service you will find good freight. If you are new to the business find a solid, reliable broker and do a good contract with them. They need your service to sell. The trucking industry is an ever-changing challenge and opportunity to 'do-your-own-thing'. THAT is where the real money is! Don't give up because there is an enormous amount of opportunity in America even during a recession.
I’m currently obtaining my CDL in Texas. I have 3 weeks left in the course and this opened my mind. All I heard were guys saying freight rates are down, which I’ve found to be somewhat true, but this has given me more hope. Thanks for the advice!
Wow. You make me smile. I love your thinking behind this and you have a great attitude. I hope you continue to be prosperous.
Kudos to you young man. I'm in heavy haul,I have a 4 axle truck with a sleeper. The rates right now, are horrendous.I'm seriously considering coming off the road to do something local, but my truck is too heavy smh.
Damn a 4 axle i don't think i ever saw that before
@@tylercouture216 Sure you have. Just a regular 3 axle with an additional drop axle.
This is the just of what I’m planning on doing. I have no interest in getting a sleeper.
I just discovered you’re channel today, watched the entire podcast while driving through Chappell, NE. I like your energy, and presentation, so as an otr ID truck driver myself I will make further contact with you.
That is very true guys having sleepers driving over 400 miles and only making about half what your getting everyday. A lot of companies can lowball you if your not careful! Your the man with the plan, all because you kept consistently calling other brokers and being patient then God had the door open just for you and you only. This is homework people I’m taking notes myself!! God Bless bro and keep up the great work💪🏾😎
You're really lucky, I've had my authority for 10 months now, still can't find a dedicated route
Every time you haul a load save that number, PU & del on time, call them every week, you do good work they'll start calling you.
Doing a load out . That’s how you do it brotha using someone else equipment to make money 💪🏿 .
LoL till you get a claim for damaged trailer then ouch
You are a great teacher and thanks for sharing this lesson.
Look at the. Smile on my dudes face happy . Dream come true . Great job
Excellent work!
Even without a backhaul, that's over $4k per week at just over 2k miles.
Daycab = less weight and fuel.
Keep the overhead low, reap the profits! 👍
A Daycab does not mean less weight or fuel. I ran a daycab for years loaded out at 79500 every load.
Yeah....I guess it depends on the make, model, and age, driveline etc.....
New daycabs are pushing over 8 mpg. In an older one, you'd be lucky to get 6 mpg fully loaded.
@@p.emerson0864 They're lighter, means they can haul more, still equals out to around 80,000. we get about 3 average in our day cab.
@@bigbird8960 , 3 average what? $3k per week, or 3k miles?
Anyway, I was over-enthusiastic about being an O/O at first....could not care less now.
Looks like brokers have most drivers by the balls....even in this current crisis....looks like a "haul cheap freight" market that is hurting the guy with an actual truck worth putting on the road.
I've been saying this my whole life since I found out about trucking and its income. EVEN IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE A TRUCKER, get a cdl as backup in case your life goes down the shitter. Trucking will put you back where you need to be with hard work. I've known truckers making like 150k a year and they dont have to work consecutive weeks. Saturday Sunday off. Of course this is all as a owner but working for companies doesnt kill this idea either.
@@brooksteer5629 well this was during the load price record last year. Even so 80k or anything around that range is good
@@brooksteer5629 nobody quotes their income as net income Skip, company or owner operator.
DM: Your story is an excellent one, very inspiring! Kudos to you! 👍👍😊 Hard work and creativity, patience and persistence and you have created your success, very inspiring. Thank you for sharing this.
Complete honesty video brother god bless you .want you to succeed more in Trucking
You have to deduct expenses, I would say, he is making around 1 k profit after taxes a week. He is probably putting around 12 hours a day from Monday to Friday
Part 2: How I Make $1,300 Per Day in a Daycab | Expenses Explained ruclips.net/video/QfaoAuFTo9c/видео.html
I'm new to the industry but not new to how numbers work. I'm willing to bet he is profiting between $3,000 to $4,000 a week. It just depends on how often he runs the route, breakdowns if any, and how many ppl he cut out of his pockets (like does he have an accountant or paying a factoring company because he can't wait 30 to 45days to get paid) However, I could be wrong like I said "I'm new to the industry.
Business owner vs truck driver. 💪You got a good thing going there.
Failure is simply the lack of desire to succeed.....
my hats off to you....... you’re a winner.
I like you man. You have a genuine approach to this trucking industry and as soon as I get my CDL I'd like to work with you.
As a broker I can tell you that with the market the way it is, you have been blessed. Keep it up!
Yes, but things can always change. It’s been a good run but change is the only constant in life
That 2nd load going back home isn’t guaranteed... You dam sure couldn’t do that in New York. The tolls and parking tickets alone will cut you in half.
Fatal Ritte that’s why nobody should live in New York, ever
Ride on bro! I just came across your channel and will be checking out your other videos. you have scored yourself a good route!
Very proud of you my brother
Good for you, this is like a gift from god, good luck
Amen be able to make money from any business is really a gift from God.Many people tend to think that it's only because you work hard that you make money with any Job.Money and blessing come from heaven.Someone will try the same business and will make nothing because it's not his call.
I need info on how to start my own Trucking business
Please click the link in my videos’ description.
Right on! Appreciate your diligence and positive attitude. Way to think out of the box! Even in your scenario, I prefer a small sleeper so I can lie down just in case I get delayed due to unforeseen events...you know how trucking goes. Nonetheless, you're on point. Much success to you brother. Keep up the good work!
Good job bro I can see your business growing
