Tomorrow isn't promised! live your life how you want, no regrets! :)

[@LifeAccording2Logan]

Spending time with friends and family is precious! Glad you had a great time.

[@tomrubis5001]

A long time ago, I took a trip from Colorado Springs, Colorado to Spencer, Iowa (740 miles one way) in my 1973 Saab 99 EMS to take my Mom out for lunch - she couldn't believe I just came for lunch, and after lunch drove back to Colorado Springs. Hey - I was in the Army and had two days off. What better way to spend it than with family. Don't waste those opportunities - they don't' come often and may not come again.

[@Peruviantrucker]

Thank you Tom! Definitely don’t regret it! I don’t know when I’ll drive over 740 miles just to beat you on a nice meal. But I have a roadtrip planned for august to pick up the car from Utah😉. I am surprised that SAAB was reliable tho! I love those cars!

[@og_raybanz332]

I live in Denver now it’s the shiznit

[@user-ht8po4tv1c]

Prime is not a company setup for home time, company or lease. It’s predatory. Surprised your still working there if you like a work life balance

[@hazmatlarry72]

5k in hole not bad. I was 12 grand in the hole. My truck was down for month for repairs. Taken me 10 weeks before I got it turned around. Been hitting the road for over 40 days straight. Thing is when you lease a truck. You vacation while you’re out on the road.

[@josuecamper]

I went to Peru too- for mother's day. 7 days there, but I drive for the oilfield in Texas. I also got sick in the last day. Delta has a direct flight from Atlanta to Lima, Lima Atlanta.

[@Moondoggy1970]

Sounds like you. Ended that road trip & the trip back to your homeland Peru 👍🏽😎.Drive safe out there.

[@Peruviantrucker]

What can I say… I am who I am😅🤷🏻‍♂️. Just gotta know and accept the consequences. Drive safe? I’m just a steering wheel holder😝. I will🙃. Thank you for following my journey 🙏🏻

[@eaglerising11]

👍...thx for the catch up...

[@robertsullivan3877]

It might not be a bad idea to find a CDL friend,and team in your lease truck until you can get everything back in order( financially)!

[@FreemanWithrow]

Live like there is no tomorrow. Ignore the negativity and always smile .

[@og_raybanz332]

I got my cdl once I moved out here in Denver and the jobs I’ve had have all been local including swift right out of school

[@markealy2188]

You made me cry 😢 😭

[@Peruviantrucker]

Honestly, I got kind of emotional watching the clip surprising family for this video. It was almost unreal. Being able to show up at their doorstep thousands of miles away without anyone knowing… like, what even is this life. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, having the ability to do that is a privilege and a blessing. I am incredibly grateful.

[@timp-tu4zo]

In the end we take nothing with us. No regrets man. Carry on.

[@jamesgibbons2469]

You should never take 30 days off if your doing a lease purchase only take 1-2 weeks off tops cause your payments won't stop coming and with the way freight rates are your going to have a hell of time getting out of the hole

[@kennethburgess9536]

Should have had a E-Fund

[@damienschuyler4933]

That's why you cover it if need too.. not just letting keep rolling negative.. never let it roll more than a week negative 😊

[@jonathanhernandez2453]

Lol bro knew the situation an sobbing 🤣

[@Peruviantrucker]

Sobbing?

[@leahschindler438]

I love enjoying a good meal too 😊 only wish my metabolism was more like yours 😅 Also, that hat is 🔥 🤘✌️🤙

[@Peruviantrucker]

Haha, my friends were next level. Good savings tactic though. Yes! The hat was a great find!

[@dell7443]

As a truck driver you cant even do normal stuff like take a couple of days off from work....these trucking companies logic look great on paper but horrible in real life

[@robertrortiz6305]

The best part of the trip is visiting the the homeland visiting family best birthday present you gave your dad birthday is being there

[@Peruviantrucker]

Yes! But to be honest, I was a little disappointed he wasn’t as surprised as my mom😒😜. He’s still the best tho😉

[@23jrcolon]

You know that’s priceless!!! But if you working at prime you can do a efund you can take $100 or whatever you can put in to that just in case you need it and never be sorry family is first no matter what I am a prime driver in NJ

[@Peruviantrucker]

Thank you for your comment! And for watching 🙏🏻! I know about the e fund. I have money saved up. Only in the hole on paper. I also agree! Family time is priceless. It’s just that there are other long term goals that can allow for more freedom and flexibility for family time. So I fret over that sometimes 🫠

[@23jrcolon]

@@Peruviantrucker ok good amen 🙏 just keep moving forward always never look back. God bless

[@marcuswhite1403]

Looks like you'll be working for free for a while.

[@MoonKeyDLaughy]

I went home for 6 weeks but I went to bay 47 and returned the truck 😂

[@BrandonBalderas]

#ooooooohyeah

[@412hwc]

bro ok let me be real af with you, i do not have a weekly trucc payment. but i pay tha bank monthly, where i am leased onto every week with out fail, after all deductions and fuel i start every monday off -$2500/$3200 n thats for all permits and plates, trailer lease payment and fuel. n i dont even have a weekly trucc payment. and wvery week i can still go home n take home 3500-4200, noooow theres deff weeks i jus broke even or even didnt make shit. but one things for sure, that isnt that bad, 2-3 loads you will be str8 again. i know if my dumb ass can do it u can for sure make it work. jus might be a week or two of running for free but i wouldnt stress. thats tha price u gotta pay to play.😂 u got this champ!

[@Peruviantrucker]

Thank you man! I had a pretty good idea of how long I would have to run before I would start making money again. Being sick for a couple of days threw me off a bit because I had to go to the Emergency room and that is an expense that I wasn’t counting on. But still covered😎. I should be alright😉

[@412hwc]

@@Peruviantrucker yea u deff gon be str8 bro! dont even stress that shit. one to two weeks u will be bac into tha flow.

[@missmothertrucker]

Money is Not everything😊

[@markealy2188]

Should of paid the note before vaction

[@Peruviantrucker]

The only way to do that at Prime is to have an emergency fund set up so they can take the money from there. Personally I rather be in control of my money.

[@markealy2188]

@Peruviantrucker yes but coming back in the whole 5 k is pretty steep seeing rates are so low could being looking at 2 weeks possible 3 in the negative will they let you divide it over 5 weeks

[@Peruviantrucker]

@@markealy2188 thats no big deal. I’m covered 😉. Being in the hole on paper doesn’t mean I’m actually in the hole.

@@markealy2188 thank you Mark🙏🏻! Have a great week as well

[@kennethburgess9536]

Dude how did you not have a Efund? SMH

[@Peruviantrucker]

Please explain why do I NEED an E-Fund? Not being defensive. Genuinely asking your reasons for one🙃

[@kennethburgess9536]

@@Peruviantrucker for exact reasons like you posted, especially seeing the market isn’t great I know it hasn’t been since I left Prime in 2022. But I’m not trying to be rude but they explain this in the ACE class.. But on another note I’m glad you enjoyed your road trip and surprising the family but I felt it hit more when you started discussing seeing family etc you haven’t seen in 5 years, I can tell you were getting choked up.

[@Peruviantrucker]

@@kennethburgess9536 Why can’t I have my money in my possession? Whether I have an E fund or not the same amount of money is spent. Remember. Just because I am in the hole on paper, doesn’t mean I am actually in the hole😉. Thank you man. Yes, I was getting emotional near the end. It was such a great time😌

[@Seether-jt6mo]

​@Peruviantrucker I've been with Prime for 5 years. I was completely against the efund & was never going to set one up until my fleet manager said one statement. He said it's not fair for Rob to have to pay your truck payment while you go home. That made sense to me so I have one ONLY for that 1 reason. I bought my truck a couple years ago & I quite frequently go home for 29-30 days (Prime wants you to be dispatched on 1 load every 30 days unless you completed your lease then it's 60) The reason I can do that though is because my fixed cost with prime are only a couple hundred bucks a week so it's really cheap. There's no way realistically you can go home for a month with that expensive truck payment. Although after years of being OTR with prime I completely understand being burnt out & wanting to live life for a change

[@johneffrig9824]

Just quit, isnt it a walk away lease?

[@Peruviantrucker]

Why would I quit?

[@scottsweezey6640]

Get a trainee and that will get you out of the whole fast

[@Peruviantrucker]

Not entirely true with the current market. It’s a toss with the way things are right now

[@coachjoshuajones]

@@Peruviantrucker just got back to the terminal to upgrade . My trainer and I ran non stop. The guy I was in PSD with got his miles in 91 days. From what I’m being told, the money is in teams and training right now. He and i are gonna team up for a while.

[@Peruviantrucker]

@@coachjoshuajones where did you hear that? Usually I would agree. I still think it comes down to timing. Even under the current market you can make some money depending on where you land at a given time. But overall it is pretty bad. The distinction has to be made between money to you and money to the truck(revenue). You will for sure be more likely to bring more revenue to the truck with a trainee/teaming. But after expenses and paying them, from what I hear, numbers are close to solo at the moment. Maybe a bit more, but it’s offset by the space and peace of mind you give up. Congratulations on completing TnT! What are you gonna do next? Short lease? Long lease? Purchase ASAP? Freightliner? Peterbilt?

[@SofiaisSunshine]

I can take a month off and only be out $400 for health insurance… Lease operator is the most ridiculous “business” you can own. Plenty of companies out there that pay company drivers really well and dont treat you like garbage.

[@shakurdavis2426]

Get a 9-5 job 30 days is stupid get your priorities in order you heard!!
