@@rickcook391 waste of money

@@uptownfragrance6148 you can book Freight through approved brokers but anytime you work with an outside broker you lose money Our agents can get any loads they can and they get paid a percentage that comes out of the 25%. You’re gonna give up either way so the more money they get you the more money they make the broker is the opposite the more money he steals from you the more he makes .

@@juanmendez691 thank you brother I appreciate it, if you need any help. Just feel free to reach out.

@@nabilayub7909 that’s less than 1000 a day to the truck and it’s a lot of miles of were and tear, plus tolls, I can do that much in less than three days staying in the belt running half the miles

@@billybob-mz2mw I love it!

@@rexxwxstakencdl if you’re brand new and never been an owner operator. I would recommend a few months in the lease purchase program here, it Gives you a good front row seat to the business. If you can’t keep up with the expenses of a lease purchase program here you won’t make it buying your own truck, but at least this way you won’t have a big ding on your credit. You can walk away from the lease at any time and Go buy a truck and bring it on to CRST. They are cool with that.

@ hmm got you, ill take that advice. Thats what i thinking originally but i was considering not having to pay weekly for a lease. Ive done flatbed since i got my CDL (1.5 years), i knew not to go to crst right now🤣 winter is super slow

@ the holidays are slow, but I’m busier in the winter because I run up north and no one wants to run in the snow weekly monthly. Doesn’t really matter at all. Works out the same in the end. If you can’t afford the lease purchase payment and the mileage plan for maintenance you’ll never make it out in your own truck Only real benefits to owning your own truck is having your name on the door being able to take it. Anywhere you want maintain it better and buy a better truck to begin with but on paper a lease purchase guy could do just about as good as me when the smoke clears at the end of the year.

@ noted

Dont do sfi work with guys that got trucks through them they was pay 6 grand a month

@@noahreed2920 most 4” straps out there are rated at 5400 lbs working load limit, which is good for 10,800 pounds worth of cargo, I don’t remember what trailer I had when I made this video but the winches may have only been rated at 4k WLL Which would make it only worth 8K of cargo (you always go by the weakest link in the chain) The trailer I have now the winches are rated at 5500lbs WWL which is more than the straps are rated for, So all my straps are now good for 10,800 pounds worth of cargo. Hope this helps

@@Ja-uf5zr I would hold off till January. Just get past the holidays.

@sturgelltruckingllc4074 I think the selection of trucks is not very big right now because everyone is trying to buy a truck to write off taxes. I hope that in January, February, and March, the selection of trucks will become larger.

@ Hmmm every lot I drive-by is full of trucks. I got dealers calling me once or twice a week trying to get me to buy something so that’s surprising to hear.

@@alexmiller9016 stay in a good lane and be diligent. Things are a little slow which is normal for just before Thanksgiving but it should pick up after Thanksgiving for a bit until it slows down again between Christmas and New Year’s. So prepare yourself for that as well

@@mikewhitley6769 yep but it’s a free market, As long as these idiots Keep hauling the loads for that they will ship them for that, It isn’t until they can’t get someone to do it for that price that they Will they raise it, and “they” don’t have to because They don’t owe them anything 🤷‍♂️ so if they’re that stupid, it’s not really their fault or problem “They” don’t care for the most part , and they’re not bound by anything so it all comes down to the cheapest price, There are a few customers that will pay more to get better trucks in there because they don’t want their product damaged or they just don’t wanna deal with the flip-flops of the trucking world, but not there’s not many, most just shopped for the cheapest price It’s just the Walmart world we live in man 🤷‍♂️

@@Southside773_Trucker it’s a temporary thing to get you to a mechanic not something that you just unplug and run the truck, that will cause the filters to plug up and cause major damage

@sturgelltruckingllc4074 appreciate it. I been doing containers from the port 12yrs & got a local load tomorrow 100miles up & 100miles back. I'm back & forth on giving the load back to dispatch or running it tomorrow & going to the shop pending I make it thru the day

@@Southside773_Trucker well if you’ve done a recent region or you can do a forced region, you should be fine. The truck will be in a semi D rate when you unplugged the plug (about 25% less power) but it will shut all the lights out and keep it from shutting down, but this is just a temporary fix

@@VadelGame no I would not recommend that, there’s other business ventures out there to invest your money in that will yield a higher return than trucking

Couple loads from from there going to Oregon one going to Washington state

@@2020HotShotTruckingLLC I usually go with what the loaders recommend and check my suspension gauges and or scale before I tarp everything up, It’s something you’ll have to learn about your own truck and I don’t haul enough lumber to really answer this with confidence for you.

@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 Thanks! I know most forklift drivers know how to load you to keep it legal, but so many of the posted loads show 48' and 48K. So if the load needs the whole 48' I'm not sure how they can shift the weight to make it legal. I figure it's got to be possible or else there would be no long haul loads if a sleeper truck couldn't haul it.

@@UlisesConcha-t9c I can but that is not a good area if you’re leased onto CRST , it’s not a good area for flatbed in general my friend… I’ll try to remember to put it in the next load board video, but I do have a video on lanes if you wanna go to my videos and scroll down and watch it
