Tow Piglet Hey I seen your located out of Houston. I run a diesel performance/repair shop in NW Houston area. We’d love to take care of any service you need. We specialize in Cummins.

[@josephatnip2398]

That's cool I'll stick to repossessions start on Monday work straight through from Monday morning at 6 a.m. till Tuesday night about 7pm picking up 12-17 cars I'll spend about 300 in fuel and about 100 towards insurance 200 towards repair funds I charge 200 a car for a 50 mile radius of my local area and things go up from there and I take the rest of the week off and I'm home all the time

[@xmo552]

Joseph Atnip Where are you? I did 3 years of repo in the SF bay area.

With hot shot trucking do you still have to comply width fatigue management rules and electronic work diarys and such in the states

[@lanceroark6386]

When you drive through Montana, drive through Helena from Three Forks to Garrison. There’s only one hill, so you’ll get better fuel mileage.

[@RobGADV]

452,000 miles on your truck? That's fantastic! I'd love to see a video where you break down what repairs have had to be done to date with that much use.

You did good, only thing i will give you advice on is have friends in trucking too because alot of trucking conpanies get most of those $600 partials and lots of times they dont have space on weight but because they got the load usualy what happens is they tell the broker that the load will be goin on a truck that has done work with them before and this way is not double brokarage cause everyone knows about it and you get more work this way too.

I agree that kind of week is exceptional and abnormal but it sure looks like you had fun doing it! Reminds me of when I worked in a mill in 90s, 12 hour shifts, unlimited overtime. The guys that worked 48 or 60 hours a week (4-5 shifts) could do that forever. But there was always some new guy that thought he could do 84 hours a week, every week, and they never lasted more than 6 months if they didn't revert to a sustainable schedule.

Those types need to stay away from Silicon Valley. 3-4 hours of commute to get to jobs that suck your soul...there is no life lived when slaving like that. I was military making 5% of what these techies were making and they were either very wealthy, or like drone ants slaving for the queen. No middle class/middle ground there. I'll be 47 this year, and I'm here to preach that quality of life IS a metric. If you die at work on the 2nd hour of the work week, they will miss the shit out of you... ...right up until HR send in the rookie to train up and replace you. Especially in production work. Watch the 1971 George Lucas movie THX-1138 - filmed out here in the SF Bay Area, prophetically - and you'll see my contextual point.

[@nickthrane4940]

9 days is more than 1 week at 7 days lol so of course that sounds like you made a lot but still 1.1k per day is good. Then again you have a lot of major expenses like fuel, food, and sleep going from east coast to West coast so you'll end up deducting a lot out of the 10k. My guess was half profit just checked video says about $5,200. $578 per day is still good money so you did pretty good!
