In a market like this, you have to do what others won't. I booked two loads into NYC and one of them was two partials. I ended up generating 5800 in four days on a little under 1700 miles. That's how you stay in business in this horrible market.

Sammy, I don’t turn on my cb because of the nasty side of it like the h o m o dudes who are advert the nasty. Also, no one will respond 8/10 times. Immature adults cussing each other for hours. CB for me not worth it. I only turn on in the winter when I’m in the midwest and northern states.

I just read the thumbnail and it’s easy .. Guys like you take all the cheap freight you can just to stay in business and to do your you tube shenanigans while the ones that refuse to haul cheap loads would rather park it before they touch cheap freight !! And if that means going out of business for the sake of morals and standards then so be it i have much respect for the ones going that route !!!!!!

1. Over-leveraged. Into the business tipped from jump. Funded with debt rather than profit. 2. Starry eyed. Trying to keep up with the Jones. Bad advice, talked into more debt. 3. Low bid was at one time just common sense. But now seems like a broadening campaign for a cheapy weepy rate market across the board. 4. Lopsided freight to driver ratio, and bidded freight going on the load boards rather than awarded to lowest biddder. 5. Too many greedy hands in the pot. Any entity even remotely affiliated with trucking have raised the cost of operating to difficult and unattainable levels. 6. Milk toast oversight, regulatory and Law enforcement. Blind eye, look the other way. "not my job."

I run a radio, can’t live without it. Subbed.

Where is the update for this video?

A lot of people i notice get into the game with their hopes to high nothing saved and don’t understand the meaning of running a business

It’s called good karma or lifeforce energy. It’s the energy a man carry’s in his dna 🧬. That’s what “luck” 🍀 is. As a man travels the world he is protected by it unknowingly. In business and in life.

Maybe post business 101 series play list clickblink to next 25 video "up next" BINDGE trucker truckn

Brokers,fuel and all the different taxes are getting all your money.

Simple to many people don’t have a business mindset meaning if you have a shit tons of bills and another thing people panic on fueling learn to properly read it

Where are you getting insurance for $700 a month?

you stay in bushiness because countless mechanics depend on fixing your peterbuilt

He really thought this truck won't kill him if it hit him., he's lucky the driver is sane and calm.,if he does that in my country to a truck.,next time you'll hear him is on the news ..

MakeCents makes about enough money on RUclips to go out once a month and buy a cheeseburger at McDonald's for himself.. He makes his money with trucking, not RUclips..

Man I saw you down here in south Florida couple weeks ago. Nice to see the kw9 down here

This year is better 2017-18

😂

Saaaaaamy . Yo fine ass hasn’t aged 🫠❤️‍🔥

Your alive in trucking because your RUclips channel the money you make there helps you.

(M/35) I’m a new apprentice in the carpenters union working in Boston. I’ve always wanted to drive a truck though but never got my cdl. I want to make the jump but don’t know if it’s worth it. Any advice?

I dont use a cb anymore because im a company driver and been in 15 different trucks in 3 years. Would get a loaner truck without a cb and would just wait it out until my truck was out of the shop. I just get lazy and tired of hooking it up and moving antennas. Then let the truck be a different model now you got to buy $64 antenna brackets. Ive got 6 cb radios and a bunch of antennas at the house though chilling in the garage. For the guy why owns his truck or is OTR in the same truck for 5 years yea you should have a cb

I don’t know but we need a whole lot more to out of business! There’s more trucks then freight and whole bunch of steering wheel holders that have no business driving a truck!

Bitch move to pull up like that knowing a merge is coming.

I wanted to know do you run recaps for your logs?

people be like why do I need a cb when I got a cell phone but I have a cb

I think it’s the person spending habits. I used to work I.T in the oil fields those Foreman and PM were making money so they were buying 90k trucks and expensive houses that was a bit more than they needed. The oil tanked people got layed off then they tried selling those over priced trucks. So I think the same is happening in trucking instead of saving majority then spending they spend as it comes in

See that’s what I been thinking is why so many go out. Like someone said in the comments there personal expenses are more than the current market rates. So I believe I can make it in this market because my monthly expense 4k a month

Luckily you were in Gallup that Loves does repair

Am I suppose to drive your truck for you as well

Never became an o/o. Thought about becoming lease op cuz of all the RUclips vids. Now those ppl are realizing they’re screwed. I’m with a company 1099. I stay out a month and get a week off. I make around 7500 -8k a month gross. We go everywhere from cali to Maine and everywhere in between. I’ve always wanted my own truck. My credit is very good and my savings is building up. But I don’t have the repor that these more established companies do. We do a lot of broker loads and they require 2020 or newer equipment? How do guys with older rigs compete? I’m trying to gain as much knowledge I can about becoming an o/o because I’ve been out here 9 years already and want to have a say in where I go. Also my pitbull is getting tired of being on the road for so long 😂

Because truckers don't control the equation. You don't control freight rates. Bust

They dont realise communication will save their life and others. The cb has saved me twice. If you have the cb antennas only inches from your cab your not getting the amount of reception and transmission capacity you need. I found my self in fog with freezing conditions. I tried to tell the schneider and others that they were coming into a crash and traffic was fully stopped. I heard later that there were fatalities. If they had a cb radio they would be alive and saved others. Buy a great stock radio that offers the bells and whistles. I like the galaxy 959. It has features to keep you aware. Get two antennas. Mount them on the upper Outside western mirror mount. Newer trucks make a sturdy mount for each siide. Live longer.

People are going out of business because they don't have big monetized RUclips channels and are socialmedia famous...They don't know the right people, (brokers) who are ethical...They are only stuck with big brokerages who don't negotiate and apps that bs with rates and lying about how much they can pay...And lastly, most shippers don't want to deal with a carrier with one truck and trailer and would rather deal with a fleet...And a lot of brokers don't want to negotiate...I've kept my W9 in the good lanes, no truck and trailer payments, and still have considered calling it quits after 22 years and last 10 as an owner operator with 8 month old authority...My break even is $1.88 based on my own expenses and hardly get anything at $2.00...So this whole industry has turned into a charade and rat race and won't miss it if I decide to throw in the towel...

I’m convinced a lot of you boys could be making 100k per week and would still complain and say that’s not enough. Just greed!!!!! Smh

No offense to anyone but I keep hearing, I make 6-9k a week do you ever count fuel, insurance, lease ect.

This guy here got the big head

What gear ratio you run Sammy?

I’m average $8300/week YTD

I’m 34 no kids no wife no rent if I can bring home atleast 3500 a week on the low end I’m sure I can make it

Go into it with the mind set of until this truck is paid off I don’t take no days or weeks of, everything you complaining about can be handled by you!

70% of drivers today are freakin' Indians!! They don't care to use radios. (They don't care about much here in the US, because it's not their Country. They're just here to take our money and send it back to their Country - which screws Our economy!) But I know a few guys who pulled their radios out because all you hear anymore is drivers screaming at other drivers! Coyote is selling out to RXO and Forward Air just went out of business??

New age drivers and cb's lol they are cut from a different cloth, is your old buddy Tim still on RUclips that had the 389 then sold it ?

Good to see you're doing well mate.

Some people are not good in business and want to be home

7 yrs flat bed 4 o/o once hit $2 April 23' I had to stop :(

I personally think money was to good a couple years back and people got comfortable/based lifestyle on the good times. Bunch of covid truckers going out

I had to park my truck for a little bit due to some unforeseen some health and home issues but I'm looking to be back out on the road soon. I'm fortunate that my truck and trailer are paid for.

Cause It Makes Cents what you do Brother
