I'm not a trucker and I'm not even an American (I'm a software developer from Europe for god's sake) but I enjoy watching videos like these purely to expand my knowledge on different things across the world. Been playing a game called American Truck Simulator and having great fun so it's interesting to see what's it actually like in real life. Ironically I would actually love a job like this - no bosses, no colleagues, just you organising your own work. I'm sure there are tough times too once in a while like in all industries but I think it's still a great profession. Would love to move to US and buy myself a 389 and just cruise from state to state. It'll never happen due to visas and stuff but a man can dream :) Stay safe out there mate and keep up the good work! P.S. You have a new subscriber :)

@queduble-ewe67562 жыл бұрын
I'm sure there are "down times" in a trucker's "economy". It most likely depends on where you are located versus what the main market is. For example, if you are in the mid-west / south where a decent amount of the market is saturated with farm-harvest "goods", you will likely have a dip in the market come summer / late spring (most places often have best prices per bushel during winter since the "availability" of harvest drops and obviously not a lot of harvest is done during summer, mostly during fall). On the other hand, if you live a coastal city where you deal with import / exports or near a manufacturing plant, the dip in the market would be less significant since they are operating virtually year round. Also, I cannot speak for Europe as I am American, but here truckers are literally the backbone of our economy; without them, our society would break down. So the overall job-market for owner-operators has to be plentiful otherwise we're screw. LOL

I’m running a Cummins X-15 turned up as far as possible, doing 70mph all day long, and still getting 7 mpg. Also Cummins x-15 as far as I know, has almost zero problems with after treatment.

I am diggin ur channel man. Just watched a bunch of vids. I have been in the business for about 12 years. I gotta say in this day and age I strongly urge people against buying a truck. There are plenty of companies out there besides the mega giants that will pay you a decent wage, deal with your maintenance, deal with your loads plans, assist you in other times of crisis and at the end of the day carry all the liability. Our OTR drivers start out at .50cpm but there are various incentive lanes including a new dedicated lane for .75cpm with 2500 miles guarneteed, home weekly. 5.5 days out 1.5-2 days in (depends if you want to keep a regular schedule) that is 90k minimum but guys who want to stay out run their full 70 reset on the road and keep running are going to make way more. All with zero liability to them and a job they could put on hold or walk away from. With all the hardened CSA standards, Elogs, Emissions standards, general complexity and expenses in maintaining trucks new and old it is hard as a solo OO to make the kinda of money one once could. I have seen so many guys who were decent 2400-2600 mile a week drivers who liked being home weekly get sold on the idea of the freedom of owning a truck and then going out on their own to talk to them months later and tell me they go 3-4 months without seeing wife and kids and they aren't doing much better financially. It takes a real badass to make it as an OO today.

First it depends on how serious you are as a CDL driver/holder. And how hard you want to or, are willing to run. How long are you willing to stay out. How long have you been driving. Discipline to save. Do you have patience for the long haul. Your first truck will also depend on your finances. And your driving record will also come into play. Used trucks with low mileage. Again how hard are you going to run. A new truck might be better. Used trucks. Need to ask about any existing warranties. Maintenance records. How many miles is it getting,.Any recalls. Or any serious problems with that model or year made. If you wil be putting cash flow into excessive repairs besides usual maintenance. New trucks have pretty good warranties. Still can have recalls. Should have low repair and usual maintenance. All trucks can have issues. Make sure yiu have sufficient cash flow to start up. Also do a Business Account for day to day Business expenses. Second a personal account to pay yourself/personal expenses. Third a MUST a Escrow account for Repairs and Majors Truck issues. Don't touch . Use your Escrow account when needed so not to drain Business Account. I use Bussiness Account to pay for fuel. I can fuel any where. Easy to keep track of fuel consumption monthly. Just my opinion. God Bless.

The paint isn't only for looks. The paint is sprayed on everything to cut down on the corrosion from the salts on the roads from the winter treatments. When looking at the paint, see if it bubbling. If it is, most likely there is rust under the paint. Otherwise, look for areas not painted and ask for it to be painted to protect the trucks. On the weight of the W900, they are nice trucks, but you have to cut your weight. I drove one an pulled a end dump. All I could do was light loading and when getting paid by the weight, it hurt the bottom line. I also pulled a reefer with one and was only able to load light loads west and produce east because of how heavy the tractor was. I got a Freightliner Cascadia in 2009 and was able to haul 43000# in the reefer with ease. The truck I miss the most was my 2001 Freightliner Century Class with the Detroit 60 in it. I could haul 45000# in the reefer with half tanks. When paid by the pound of produce you could haul, I was able to make a profit. I sold the last truck in 2011 to walk away from the driving and focus on wrenching. I enjoy wrenching a lot more than driving. I miss driving on the open roads, but man, the traffic is horrible and the cut throat rates are not worth it to me any more. Good luck and Keep on a Truckin'!

Having been in the business for 31 years and covered everything from company driver, owner operator, dispatcher, and company CEO. How much to spend on any truck is 100% dependent on what your freight pays. Of course the make of truck is all up to the buyers preference. As for the engine, transmission, gear ratio, and horsepower. Remember this and you’ll do fine. Horsepower is fuel mileage and the higher the number in ratio the better the truck will pull. The lower the number, the faster it will go. It’s up to you if you’d rather be able to run top end 120mph and crawl up Monteagle or walk up it like a boss but stay under triple digits. I prefer the latter. Good video as always. Keep it up hand.

I’ve got a w9 with an ARI sleeper and it’s been tuned I get a consistent 7-8 mpg they key is the tune I can haul 38,000 and some change freight weight I cap it at 35k and the truck itself weighs 26,700 fully loaded no trailer and I don’t have problems with freight so it’s not a huge deal

It’s smarter to use your phone and call places to see if you can load/unload early

A lot of Walmart's have vendors that will boot your truck for parking and charge $2,500-$4,000 to remove it

If you’re not looking for a brand new truck, look into the KW T660. You can get the same sleeper configuration as a W900. And the drivers compartment is the same.. two choices of engine. Paccar or Cummins. Personally I prefer Paccar

I live in Clearwater. It is beautiful here. I went over the Howard Franklin Bridge back on Jan 5th 1990. 3 weeks after my Daughter was born. I was Bobtailing. By the grace of God I am still here watching your videos. Just found your channel. Liking it slot and your home life with your boys. Super cool.

Keep them damn cornbinders. Nuthing but problems. KW or Pete as long as they have an ISX, or Freightshakers. Volvos are my second choice.
