How Much Can You Make When You Hire A Truck Driver? Payroll Lesson, Real Numbers

[@joelblea4992]

I'm constantly blown away by what you accomplish in a day. Running a demanding business full time, making these in depth educational videos, and all the normal day to day life responsibilities and tasks. I'm sure that's just the half of it. Thank you again for your KZbin channel. It really helps! 🙏🏼💫

[@stevenhill1878]

it's easier to work/run a trucking company from the office/home vs actually driving all day every day. I'll rather work from the office than drive any day. yall agree??

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

While I dont have a CDL, I agree with this. Being on the road all day every day is physically and mentally taxing, much more so than an office job

[@stevenhill1878]

@@TruckingMadeSuccessful what do most drivers/owners do for office space...use their home or rent an office w a staff person/dispatcher?? avg time they are on the road??

[@jamespenny9482]

Agree 100%, puts me to shame!

[@vitalekg]

I saw many ambitious ppl wanna hire drivers and have few trucks etc. The key is to find a driver who will take care of the equipment instead of destroying parts of it every trip. Until ur truck turns into scratched up, dinged up, crooked up bumper and panels etc. If a driver neat and takes care the inside of the truck he most likely do the same on the outside as well

You are right, there is nothing passive in trucking from the moment you buy your very first truck. I am a pretty new owner operator, just 9 months in and There is always something going on and a lot to learn. I get home and there are still things to do, maintenance, organizing all the bill of lading a and receipts, clean the truck, get it ready to go on the road again. there is nothing passive.

[@TironSandersJr]

you need a dispatcher and drivers thats how you make it passive

[@TironSandersJr]

and always start off with box trucks first

I've been refreshing youtube all weekend waiting on this video. Thank you so much for this information.

[@haythemlutfi]

Good video, great presentation, important visual explanation. Thank you. Can you please include tanker

[@Gill22]

Great video! Love the breakdown. What do you think are the advantages of hiring drivers vs leasing on owner operators to your company?

[@michaelmcdonnell1172]

great video, thank you only thing I think you left out was the expense of your trucks including break downs, fuel and insurance so you your profit will be much less as well Thank you for the insight as I was looking to help a friend that has 3 trucks to run but the brooker fees are killing him and too much down time waiting for loads

[@nash1744]

Better explanation than most accountants 👍🙌

[@467inc]

I got it. Really good at explaining complicated things. Perfect. Thanks.

[@MrMan-ol4ic]

Yeppers, it's a lot of headaches. Not to mention if you hire a driver and runs your equipment or truck into the ground also!

[@phatmike8401]

I was pondering this exact question. And u just answered it for me.

[@eman4959]

Great video.. it’s all about the driver you hire … you have a good driver you going to make money but you have a bad driver no money… I average 900 to 1300 week on one driver .. I’ll pay 29% of gross of the truck ..

[@MRNADER-yk6xd]

Thank you 🙏 for a true analysis and reality check on trucking!!! I agree it’s definitely not a get rich scheme or hands off type of investment trucking. P.S the hair looks like it was having a good day. Keep up the great work

[@schoonymopar]

I'm hooked on these video's

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Im obsessed with numbers, can you tell? haha

[@H80989]

I'm thinking of buying a truck and leasing to a company, how much would i earn as a truck owner? I was told 4k a month net and someone else told me that is not acceptable you should be getting 10k a month? Driver would bring in around 35k a month gross ?

[@michaelhatcher873]

This is the only video of you where I have a lot of questions🤔 you left out fuel, insurance, tolls, ect... and is the money cut in half when you are making $2 per mile and paying .50 per mile. That's not adding up. However, I love your insight!!

[@stevebaker8966]

50 a mile is pretty cheap

[@redmesa2975]

It was nice having an extra day off. We haul fuel. The boss was freaking out this morning, as the bulk plant is running low on fuel because of everyone being off Monday. 🤷‍♂️ can’t win

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

LOL, just roll with the punches! But yes, on one hand it was awesome not to be bombarded by calls on a Monday. On the other hand...nothing gets done haha

[@stevenhill1878]

The owner/operator will have to PAY himself that .50 to .65 cent per mile. ex. his monthly net income = $14K and he has to pay a driver about half that ($7K) or pay himself about 80% of that 14K = $11K per month and save the other 20% for the company's future/expansion.

I use ADP for payroll and Quickbooks for accounting

[@alejandromtzl]

Hi ma'am, what do you think about leasing trucks with ryder/penske. No worries about maintenance, no down payment, new equipment, and if truck breaks down, they will put your driver in another truck asap.

[@laquashabrewer2656]

So, is there one driver for each equipment type? If so you guys are running pretty good!

[@Urgondragon]

Right now everything goes to fuel and driver , it supposed to be 33% for each

[@raccoon_cheeky]

Nice! As usual) Thanks!

[@mohammadhamdeh9312]

Thank you for the great contents. Are these miles (14k) solo or team drivers?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

solo

[@eubie2607]

On the owner operators.....why can't you just 1099 them and let them be responsible for their own taxes? And, if you did 1099 them would you still be responsible for W/Comp on that employee? Just asking questions.....love the program and THANK YOU👍

[@redmesa2975]

1099 is illegal according to the IRS regulations. That’s what brought the AB5 legislation to California

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

1099 is only for owner operators with their own equipment. Unfortunately, 1099 does not have a place in CA due to AB5 law. But yes, if you are leasing on owner operators, you can do 1099 and then would not be responsible for workers comp.

[@jlmadd]

It’s against the law to 1099 a company driver. Mom and pop companies try that but it’s illegal

[@YeahNah100]

Solid video 👍👍

[@TheDriller100]

with the way rates are going, it won't be long before they are back to 40cents. . you can't pay 60-70 a mile when freight is 1.50

[@vicktor54]

The per mile driver rate is that loaded miles or total?

[@dubmatic7011]

One question if you could verify for me. Wanted to ask if my driver lives in Texas but my company is based in NE would ADP automatically not take state taxes because the driver lives in Texas or is it something that I will have to tell them?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

That is something you need to tell them as they will assume that the employee works at your place off business, but an interstate driver actually works everywhere and therefore taxed in his or her base state

Why to hire drivers with w-2 employer-employee relationship ? 1099 suits this business perfectly

Wow everything sounds great on your board money wise 👏 until the Driver call with a Break down on the road ,,, now you have a problem calling the service truck out and now you can say goodbye to all your profit ..... Everything sounds great on the paper 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Pernection]

So are you saying no one can hire drivers when there are thousands of companies with fleets?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

As I said in the video, a driver is the single most important player of a trucking company. This video is to show the reality of numbers as many people think they will open a trucking company, hire a driver, delegate all work to third party providers and make a passive income. Doesn't work that way.

[@Pernection]

@@TruckingMadeSuccessful I have been driving for 30 years and have been with a postal contractor and believe they make money. Each truck brings in $100 per hour and there are like 20 trucks. Roughly 5 grand a week per unit if they have routes. I can go get a truck myself, but I don't want to driver anymore. I do have the opportunity to work with a broker and also do dispatch service on top of that.

[@cpculture4641]

if you pay your drivers a flat rate and add a safety bonus every month for being safe on the road then that net income will increase..every company makes diffrent money. just have to structure the right way

[@ajay4399]

No there are still federal taxes, Medicare and ssn

Youre not finding a quality driver at 50 cents. 14k miles is unbelievable. I call bullshit.

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Please keep in mind that the 14K miles is a real mileage from my company- that includes the last load which picked up at the end of the month and delivered in the beginning of the next month. And in terms of the 50 cpm driver, please show me where I encouraged that rpm in the video. I am here to provide facts, not to personally advise unless asked to do so.

[@goodvibezz766]

If you making 30k a momth off three trucks how much more do you need that rich enough 😂

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Ah thats an excellent question. But the bigger question is, is that profit lining our pockets or getting reinvested into the growth of the business?

[@claudiar3883]

You have to reinvest back! in case of an accident, one of the trucks is stuck in a shop, larger mechanical fixes, buy more equipment etc.
