You are saying owner operators tthat do not have their own authority are not truly independent businesses owners. Will you make a video that says immigrants that can not read, write and speak English are truly not legal truck drivers and should be immediately pulled iff the road and deported? Also ones that have over stayed their visas and are here illegally should be deported as well?

Home loans and heloc loans are based off of your federal tax returns by law. As an owner operator or an independent contractor it is very hard to get a loan because of this fact. You have stated what you make per month. In my calculations you gross less than $250,000 per year before deductions. After deductions you should be around $50,000 to $60,000 taxable net. With that information, how did you get a loan for 10 times your annual salary? I just purchased a home. I went through the process. I had perfect credit. My annual gross was very comparable to yours. The banks would only allow me to borrow $185,000 for the purchase of a home. Educate me.

Most of the blame is out to illegal immigrants who should not be here! Legal, great you obeyed the law. Illegal? This is a nation of law and order.

Honestly, the it's they pay you the more they make, so I doubt you're paid less for your accent. You don't need an accent to incentivize a broker to pay you less: YOU NEED A HEARTBEAT. It doesn't benefit a broker to discriminate only on someone like you when they could discriminate on everyone. Rates are down, companies don't want to pay enough, while prices and inflation are UP. Thank you for speaking English though. I believe it is important to abolish these government entities and more: FMCSA, PHMSA, EPA, DOT, NHSTA, etc. none of these entities are serving their purpose anymore and are pushing for corruption instead of safety.

A $500 for running 1000 miles empty is pocket change from what you made.. A small expense now is a upper gain later.. Many truckers think using what you just talked about to save money on fuel will cost them in the long run... If everyone did what many do then companies and brokers will assume all will accept it... The reimbursement on fuel should only be used in a emergency or worst case scenario.... Many go for the quick fix and they don't realize that they are pulling the rug out from under them and everyone else

Bro, your English is not 100% good. You will get more comfortable with time. I understand your motivation with brokers to speak English. But that should not be the main reason to know English. Especially if you have or want to have a cdl. You need to understand all the rules and responsibilities that come with that license. When it comes to brokers. They are glorified middlemen. They rely on ignorance to increase their profits. Experience, research, and due diligence are important to not get screwed. I have talked to a lot of people and gotten multiple responses on why things are how they are. Mega carriers, de regulation, election year, inflation, post covid, etc. Personally I think all of them combined play a role in the current market. But I have only been trucking for 2 years so what do I know 🤷🏻‍♂️ I wouldn’t say corporations run the country 100% but they have a loot of influence. Call me hopful😅. There is definitely a lot of people that know nothing about trucking but somehow are in positions that dictate policies that screw with the industry. Look forward to the next video!

You're right 💯

Truck drivers in general are not very bright people and the ones that are, are few and far in-between..any joe schmo that held a steering wheel for a year or 2 thinks he can run a business..but numbers show otherwise..hell they're making them lease operators right out of school now days..how do you combat ignorance..nobody wants to learn but everyone wants to teach..good video!

Your very intelligent sir. I have tried to learn other languages and i have failed. It takes a smart man/Woman to speak 2 or more languages. I'm not admitting I'm not very smart. I just know the truth. Great video. I wish the government would enforce the laws. FMCSA says you must read, write and speak English to operate a commercial truck in the USA. Great video and message.

Saludos compadrito , que sigan los éxitos

The deregulation was put in place to disempower the drivers. Basically fighting a government stacked deck that favors the large companies. And then when trucking capacity collapses they scream driver shortage. You can tell the new guy not to take that 1.50 a mile load but he is convinced he is making money and knows more than you. So... a certain small group of elite truck drivers eventually develop above the churn of stupidity that is most of the industry.

I've been hearing this same song since 1999, and I'm sure I'll still hear it for a few more years to come. Thanks for fighting, my man. 👍

I hear you brother…good luck

you are asking a lot from the truckers. Most of them hate unions, they are the original unions. Most will underbid anyone, they are cutthroat.

@unperuanoenlascarreterasde9964 bro I see who wears the pants in that family! LOL Your wife wears the pants! LOL

I’m new to this industry and I try to learn as much as I can on my own. But you are right about cheap labor. What I’ve noticed is that all these mega carriers like to lowball us new drivers since most don’t know any better coming into this industry paying a few cents per mile and I think that’s part of the problem and reason why freight is the way it is. Cheap labor = Cheap freight. The more new drivers these corporate companies hire the more money in their pockets leaving us with crumbs. I blame the big corporate companies for this disaster. They’re trying to take over everything and leaving O/O out in the dust.

Yep, everyone complains but you can't get anyone to stand together on anything. I remember back in the 90s when I was a new driver, Goin to my first big truck stop in California and stepping out of my truck and seeing 'Hundreds ' of trucks, and thinking to myself "Man these guys could have anything they ask for if they all stuck together.....but nobody takes a stand together,,,, sad...

Per Newsweek i-75 corridor from Canada to Florida will be closing rest areas to turn into illegals housing. Just heads up.. as parking crisis continues

Makes some good and truthful points.

To keep Americans working we need to close borders. I bet you vote open borders I hope you go out of business for it 🎉

Keep voting open borders and realize how fast jobs sink.

All the immigrants want to come here but there’s not enough jobs. Let this be a lesson if you vote for open borders 😂🎉

Never stop trying to get a direct shipper, there are still some companies out here that prefer to work directly with owner operators

You're right 💯 brother You are a real trucker 👍keep it up and stay safe.

How many times have you been in a truckstop and see drivers jump from the sleeper to the driver's seat and take off. Not even knowing if their doors are shut or the trailer is hooked. If you want a good laugh at the type of "influencers" you were talking about take a gander at Little Guy trucker. That guy goes through jobs faster than I go through underwear. Telling everyone about the big money he's making in various Fleece purchase scams. I'm a 30 year driver. It's only getting worse out here, the kids won't listen. They can't even maintain their own lane. I help anyone who will listen but if I get an attitude I'll not lift another hand. Not enough time left in my life for their BS.

There's way too many illegals immigrants in the business

Bruh! U got some yard work! those R just soft rivets! oh man! look @ that pach up! Lord! Lord! It's kind of sad, that they cant find a way to minus the rivets! they make a super bolt-on replacement. but it would just rip the framing an supports out! jeez! that's some mighty heart stings U'r pulling on! glad to hear U! yup! ok? when's the yard work draft come in! ha..ha.. it sounds like U haven't hear ''yet'' about the ''new'' tax increase's!! U'r Ironing it out!! thanks!😁👍👍

The ones who have big KZbin channels make money off that.. They make money off of the referral.. Most are one sided.. They always talk about I make this amount and how good the trucking industry is, But not the bad.. Your 💯 Percent 🎯 they run for so F**king Cheap its very difficult for actual truckers like yourself to earn a good living.. Awesome 😎 video..

Your puppy looks like our puppy. We must have a lot in common. Good video. I'm having a crazy life right now. I'll put a video out as soon as I can.

Hopefully, all of us realize sooner than later , that we depend on each other and we should start acting on.

Its almost every industry man.. you got your whole hearted actual good people and you got everybody else.. the ones who play by the book and do whats right and you got the ones who will throw anybody under the buss if it means theyll benefit themselves.. most people are pieces of crap and only give a shit about themselves.. period…

...................... This video is for anyone that is self employed in every business. Nobody respects other people's: property, time, space, hard work & etc.

What’s up with the poor filming

more and more companies are putting cameras in their trailers. they'll just put any low iq moron on a lift truck now lol.

Oh the forklift drivers do not

You can definitely buy a DVR recorder and then purchase a low temperature freezer / cold storage security camera and mount it in the trailer is probably not that bad of an investment for how much damage can be caused.

👍

76,000 United States Dollar equals 103,287.80 Canadian Dollar Very expensive equipment.. I understand why you stayed at home. The freight was not worth the labour time and fuel.. Some of these forklift operators need to understand that these trailers are as much as a down payment on a decent house.. Damaging it over time will increase or should increase the freight rate.. No company wants to pay more for shipping or have claim after claim on insurance because of a few idiots damaging your or someone else's equipment.. For every insurance claim the premium goes up. And once premiums go up cost of operation goes up also me as a customer have to pay more and company's will or possibly have to make cuts, layoff people or reject any pay raises even not hire more folks.. It is a snowball effect, everything rolls down hill.. I really enjoy the truth behind what you do.. Drive Safe on the Roads and Highways

Great video and advice. I didn't run very many miles when I was a self dispatched o/o. I would run mainly short mile runs for high $$ amounts. I hope my situation gets better very soon so I can go back to being and o/o. I hope the country survives this downturn. Your insurance is very inexpensive. I looked into getting my own authority before, many years ago. The insurance for a start up was very expensive. I chose to be a self dispatched owner operator instead. I hope you take care of yourself out on the road.

We got customers and landscpers beating us up in the landscape business. Don't worry nobody wants to pay for anything unless they are the ones charging top dollar.

This is great content thank you

Thanks for making them in English brother I appreciate it

I been watching your videos for awhile now.. Your 💯 Percent 🎯.. A lease operator is basically a financial slave to the company.. these lease operators are not owner operators.. I hear them bitch whine piss and complain about how they have to run so many miles or how they have to work so much... A real owner operator has his/her own authority.. Many of these lease operators have a way higher education then I have and yet they put them own selves through the hell.. You are correct these people who purchase a lease should not blame the Brooker or political parties or the companies... The lease purchasers should blame themselves for being stupid.. The borrower is and will always be slave to the lender... It is amazing how a person that moves from one country to another buys a Truck 🚛 as a real owner operator and understands how the trucking industry works... It costs alot of money to run a tractor trailer.. Fuel ⛽ labour metanince.. I recall four or five years ago truckers were bragging about $5.00 per mile USD.. Many truckers should of never took way less pay and more work.. The easiest way to say no was for many truckers to hang up the keys.. Your right many accepted the low wages.. I think its because many of these lease operators get a new truck 🚛 and they suck themselves into a financial slave contract.. I don't blame you for a second for not excepting low rates for a long haul... If more keep excepting lower and lower rates then those who agree to lower and lower rates should only blame themselves.. Thank You for driving truck 🚛 and working hard so people like me can buy products in the store... Your 💯🎯 I cannot blame you for not excepting lower and lower rates, keep standing up for what is Right 👍👍👍👍💪💪👏

So sir, are you telling us those mega carriers are lying to us? Because what is happening to me is the exact same thing you are talking about, and I cannot believe we can be so stupid. They are a bunch of liars, now I understand why they sent me home every week because there is not enough work.

I understand what you are saying sir. When I worked for M.S. Carriers years ago. They would TEACH. Companies now do not teach anything. M.S. Carriers would teach you to be a good company driver. They would teach you how to be an owner operator. They would say you need to be a business minded person to be an owner operator. You sir are different than most out here now days. You are teaching. This is why I call you a MENTOR. It's a sad state of affairs this country has become and a sad state of affairs the trucking industry has become. This is why I wanted to start my channel. I'm glad we found each other here. I have been in this industry for 23 years myself. My family, even more. We can all learn still. We need to educate, mentor and support our family and friends and industry. Thank you for making this video. I enjoyed it very much.
