You are hitting the hammer right on the nail. Keep doing what you're doing you'll be fine. Good job! I've been In the trucking world for over 20yrs, and have always purchased used trucks with higher mileage. The way I looked at it , if it's got high mileage that means the trucks been running. And if something gone wrong it was probably fixed.

Right on. I couldn't agree more!!

Ocd is good. I would be constantly analyzing, as I too just bought a used 1 ton dually diesel and am strongly considering doing this and trying to balance family time with being on the road.

[@WeekendTruckin]

I agree! I'd rather know too much than not enough. I'd do it man! Even if you do a haul a month, you'd be adding around $1,000/month for a 2-3 day trip!

Great question! In total I was away from home for 14 days. However that isn't 14 days straights. It was a lot of 2 or 3 night trips and back. The longest stretch was from IN to ID down to CA and then back to IA and that was leaving on a Tuesday evening and being back the following Monday!

Hey! I'm not sure about being able to run under your own authority while on with an RV Transport company. I'd just call them and ask!

[@peybackthis1596]

No you cannot. The manufactures wont hire you like these mega corps will. Plus on the boards, there arent enough available trailers to haul for independents. Youd be better off car hauling if you dont mind the hard work.

Hey Robert! In general, no! For loads that would put you over 26k, you would so it could limit you a bit with your load selections but there’s a decent amount of guys without!

[@ohioan7536]

I'm liking the videos and looking into getting into RV transport. I have questions about ways to save. Seems taxes and insurance are two big bites out of profit so I'm looking into starting a LLC in a state that takes advantage of those two things. I'm originally from Ohio and family still there but I'm currently living in a motorhome near the Tennessee/Georgia line and love the area and see myself buying land in the area. I'll start my LLC with a virtual mailbox address in either OH, TN or GA and will run my insurance thru that address as well. Currently I'm comparing the tax benefits and insurance costs in those states. Do you have any thoughts on this?

[@WeekendTruckin]

Hey!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I think what you'll find is with the standard deductions of miles, and per day food and "overnight" expenses is that taxes won't be an issue- I'm sure it needs to be noted that I'm not giving legal advice but only my personal opinion. With an LLC, it's still just going to pass through to your personal income unless you're filing as an S-Corp but I can't see any advantages to that (I file as an S-Corp for my gym and then you have to file business taxes and your personal taxes because you're just an employee to your business). Does that help at all?

[@larryeaton7384]

I live in Memphis Tn. I worked out of Elkhart Il. for Horizon. I took classes I paid for and learned all the laws. Fees, license, Insurance costs per year, Fuel costs, food, truck stops , Motel costs, Monthly Maintenance VS loads I could handle. These entries depleted my profits overall. At Times there were no runs for me to profit from. I was forced to take a non profit run just to keep my monthly obligations. I loved it, BUT I could not afford the fees etc.. Now my truck is better than it ever was but not acceptable because of its model year. Its a work horse and looks brand dam new. I will take it to my grave before I will get a newer model. Still I stay up to date as much as I will hope for an open mind!! I will stack my 2002 f350 7.3 powerstroke up against the newer models on the road to date. I have the power they do not have! I have to complements from coast to coast on how good my truck looks. Even in Elkhart! Good looks and awesome power.

[@WeekendTruckin]

Sounds like a great truck you got!! I think peoples situations determine if an endeavor will be a successful one for them. There's some that think RV Transport is the fastest way to go broke... I don't know their situation but the money is there for the taking for sure!!

[@jzlahmar]

Thanks for the video. How is thus going now with diesel prices so high? You still make profit?

[@WeekendTruckin]

It hurts the margins for sure! But adjusting the maintenance % to be a little lower so the extra money they pay for trying to compensate for fuel helps keep things working!

[@WeekendTruckin]

Congrats! that's exciting!!! I'd say just remember your truck is your biggest asset, so drive it slow, safe, and choose loads that put the least amount of stress on it for a more profitable endeavor! Safe travels when you get out on the road!

Just curious if you're seeing any slow load boards as a person out on the west coast says things are slowing down?

[@WeekendTruckin]

Ours have stayed the same throughout since I've been on with them! I did hear that Horizon slows down this time of the year though. From what I'm gathering is that Horizon may/seems to have a more robust backhaul board where as our backhauls for the most part are just new campers going places from a lot in ID. There are other random backhauls though, not friendly to eliminating deadhead miles on most trips.

So 29 days, how many were actually working? So you just have class C DL? And how do you find and negotiate the runs? Lastly, have figured out your actual net profit? Like are you writing off your insurance, truck note, fuel, maintenance, etc.?

[@WeekendTruckin]

Back then, I'd typically be gone for 3 days a week. I don't have a CDL, and don't need one with my set up(both current and past truck). You don't get to negotiate the rates, it's on a loadboard from the company you're leased on with. When you mention net profit, are you referring to a "tax time" scenario or the money I have in my pocket regardless of what can be written off. During this video with the old farm truck, with the part time running I was doing, I was on pace for around 75-80k before deducting expenses but after fuel.

Yea! We just have the KeepTruckin app and nothing hooked up to the truck. I’m not exactly sure what requires it to be that way.

Diesel lower at some stations in so cal 🎉

[@Teeg60]

Agreed very cool I guess if you could do 12 months of that that's 72k. Does horizon take taxes out of your pay?

[@WeekendTruckin]

I'm not how Horizon is set up, I'm with Indiana Transport- but I'd assume they all are similar in that you're a 1099 contractor for them so no taxes are withheld. However after talking with another former/current business owner who does this part time for some time now- He talked about with the professional driving industry deductions you won't be showing you made a lot at the end of the year!

[@israelviani9893]

Do i need my own 1 million$ insurance to work with horizont or ant other rv company ?

[@WeekendTruckin]

Hey Israel! I’m not sure what Horizon has for a policy but I’d assume they list it on their website!

[@JBTRUCKN]

Most companies have their own insurance for what you are carrying for them. But most will want yu to have a million dollar policy especially if you are traveling through different states.

[@joshuajohnson9803]

Who are you hauling for?

[@WeekendTruckin]

Indiana Transport

[@bullfranthrow]

Do you need a CDL?

[@WeekendTruckin]

In general, no! There’s some CDL loads and when you get into other divisions you want or need one though.

[@gldneagle62]

What year model truck do you drive? Does it have to be a newer truck?

[@WeekendTruckin]

It's a 2010 F250. You don't have to have a new truck. With Indiana Transport it's just suppose to be a 2010 or newer. But I've heard it can be older if it's still in good shape and reliable.

[@othacrittenden7731]

What are you paying for insurance and what are you carrying

[@WeekendTruckin]

Hey! Thanks for tuning in- I have unladen insurance through, I believe, Canal and for my set up it’s right at $290/month.

@@WeekendTruckin thanks!!

[@Chabeta97]

What trucks are required

[@WeekendTruckin]

I think it can vary from company to company but ultimately a 3/4 ton and 10-ish years old or newer are standard truck requirements! You’d want a diesel for sure though to take advantage of better towing MPG’s and fuel discounts from your company.

I had about $770 in fuel, set aside $560 in my maintenance account and pocketed just shy of $2,400 from the trip.

@@WeekendTruckin 40% is the highest I’ve been able to pay myself are you not itemizing your unladen , and other expenses like maintenance and such ?? 4 days this week I’ve paid myself $1500 counting every expense that it takes to run this business if really like to see your full figures !!!

[@AdventureMan-kx3dr]

@@WeekendTruckin what about paying the truck ?? It’s an employee too how you gonna replace it when it’s dead ?

[@WeekendTruckin]

“Paying the truck” is a term I don’t subscribe to. I set aside 15% of the gross pay into a maintenance account for every trip. It’s the same thing so to speak but just broader/basic business practices. I don’t pay my equipment at the gym I own, but I set aside a set amount of revenue every month for maintenance and it sits in said account until it’s needed. Are you in RV transport or hot shooting? RV transport, in my opinion, is as simple as doing side jobs in the construction world as a self employed contractor. You could try and expand upon more sophisticated business practices but it’s just adding more work and “muddying the water” so to speak with how 1099 work passes through regardless of how you set things up. I have two fixed expenses from an operational viewpoint and they are expenses I’d have regardless of if I was transporting (truck payment and insurance). There’s some variable expenses with maintenance that’s definitely Aussie of the amount of miles we put on the trucks, but I keep it simple and they come out of my “pocket”. That’s not me saying they aren’t write offs come tax time, but because of the pass through of contract work it all comes out of your “pocket” so to speak regardless. I keep track of all expenses for tax time but keep it simple when it comes to just operating. I’m averaging a “money in pocket” margin of about 62%. I pay my bills with that money which include my expenses that are tax deductible expenses.

[@Jonathon10]

My uncle did this for 10+ years. Made 200k a year for years up until he got into a bad accident.

[@user-ph9iq2dw6f]

He definitely wasn’t doing with this guys doing he said $6000 in 29 days that’s definitely not 200 Grand that’s like $200 a day which is nothing in this industry

[@WeekendTruckin]

There’s some great money in it when you get into multi-hauls! I’m assuming he was doing flat bed?

[@WeekendTruckin]

He definitely wasn’t! He was doing haul and tow or flatbed devision with backhauls on a full time basis. And that number is probably his gross rev. But at worst had a 45-50% margin… not bad in my eyes 👀

[@bcrawford9072]

For me it was never worth it for me to run cal. I made my money running in the south back in the day. The road has changed a lot since I was out there. I tried to make sure my truck made a minimum 600 a day. That was pulling a skate board. Im thinking about this i really need to stay close to home because of my job. Due they have a lot of work in the south. Thanks for any help.

[@WeekendTruckin]

Yea, I'm not sure if I'll continue to do long west hauls or not. I may try to do one or two more before I make my final decision on it, but the same money can be made in shorter, multiple runs within the same time frame. Thanks for commenting!!!

[@mt-nv4jd]

Sir, do you expect rates to stay around $1.60/mile for the forseeable future?

[@WeekendTruckin]

I have no qualifications on making that prediction!

[@MrStephendlove]

It goes up and down. Right now going North West i'm making $1.69 a mile. Headed to Mississippi tomorrow for $1.49 a mile. It's been a little rough atm but i'm still making good money.

We all seen RV money videos, after taxes your around $60-$75G a year. To some that’s good to others it’s not. How do you even sleep in that truck with no window tint in the back?

I was on pace to make that only being on the road 3 days a week. There’s more to be made in single pulls if you’re a person who wants to be gone more. I have window shades!

Thanks man! You can haul loads that are over 26k and typically pay around 10 cents more per mile with a CDL on single pulls. I’m not sure on if having your own authority would be beneficial if you’re leasing on with a company... maybe if you were branching out to do your own thing - however that works! 🤷‍♂️

Per mile what? I think with how fixed the revenue is from RV transport, things should be viewed a little differently than say a hotshot gig where you can add partials within the route you're heading.
