I just joined and signed in... This channel is so loaded with practical information about the trucking business. The channel is fair and factual. Have been a fan ever since the Pandemic lock-down (nothing else to do for months on end, home-bound, haha!)... Btw, I am and am currently viewing this from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.

Fuel: What I do now as company driver is purchase only enough fuel for the load and every once in a while I make sure I have reserved money for a reserve which is not spent unless needed. That means, my company gives me an open card with no gallon restrictions, but I don't use the card and just fill up. I also do not run the engine at night unless temperature requires comfort. I will also shut down after I air up the trailer during drop and hook, in a traffic jam, waiting for a long train, stuff like that - I shut down as much as possible and first quarter this year was 9.23MPG in an 2019 (POS) International LT Day Cab - am a local driver. Do you hire American drivers?

Cannot join you live - not enough time when you advertise your plan to go live. I will just go with the replays and will try to go live with you if possible - but am busy at the job! and can't just stop. One day though ... I'll catch a live one !

With the political climate in America and Canada plus green agenda, as a former owner operator my advise is DON'T DO IT 😢

I agree.. Allot of good company jobs out there paying really well compared to the grind BS of an O/O one man band business. Hell, small fleets are going bankrupt all the time with this environment we're in at the moment.

Hi Ronen, Is it a Good time for a New driver to purchase a Truck worth $50K today to become OO? How do i join a big fleet as OO and what things to consider? Please advise. Thank you.

Do not become an owner operator otherwise you will go broke trust me. Be happy as a company driver

Hi Ronen, would you ever buy a used APU? Also, what are your thoughts on shore power?
@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News4 ай бұрын
We try to avoid buying used but as long as it's been well maintained, it shouldn't pose too much of a problem

Very knowledgeable video and do you guys hiring now ?
Why in the world would someone do that??? I wouldn’t even work for a company that offers that option! Figure out how much you want to make and go work for a company that pays that much. Everyone wants to take all of the fun out of trucking

I think people just want to have more freedom to enjoy trucking rather than be tied down to a company

@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News I get what you’re saying but there are plenty of jobs with time off. Figure out how many days off you want and work for a company that gives that much time off. IMO being an OO is probably not the best way to have free time. The bills don’t stop when the truck does.
Sir, Please support me in getting my dream of becoming a trucker. I would be grateful to you for whole life. I emailed for sponsorship but I didn't get any reply yet.

Cascadias are dogshit and aren't even comparable to the old school trucks. You're wrong on that note.
