Yessir. Let them know what we go thru too, in order to rack in it. They see the bread, but don’t necessarily understand what it takes on a daily. The early mornings, 10-11hrs of staring at the road, holding it in to make time, cramps at the wheel, attitudes at shipping & consignee docks, lying brokers, extreme weather fluctuations, 4-wheelers, government restrictions/regulations, lack of sleep, constantly beating a clock, not much in person social interaction, and long nights. I could keep going, but I won’t bc I’m strong enough for this. Bring it on 🔥📈

@truckingwithtobee3 жыл бұрын
Buy your truck out right all you have to do is save for a little bit longer. Do not finance that thing. Unnecessary stress if you finance a truck, we saved all of our money and paid cash for a truck and trailer. If you finance a truck you will save thousands of dollars in interest. All it takes is one major repair to get you in trouble. We have a dedicated run. When we bill those guys they sometimes don’t pay for 60-90 days at a time. You have to float your own business sometimes. So many small owner operators go under because they have big truck payments. And like I said. One major breakdown and $3000 truck payments, IFTA, workman’s comp, truck insurance,registration, new tires, quarterly tax payments,maintenance, new engines,high fuel cost etc happens and the last thing you need to be worrying about is a high truck note. That’s just my advice to you 🤷🏼♀️💕

@@kenericcrawford409 Our first truck was a 2012 Peterbilt and gravel trailer for $80,000. The truck had 285k miles. It took 1.5 years to make the money back. Five years later we have put in a new engine. That cost $25k it runs like new. Our second truck is a 2013 Kenworth for $25k and a flat bed trailer for $10k. We do most maintenance on both trucks. If you look and be patient there’s good trucks out there for reasonable prices. It took us 13 years working regular jobs to save the initial 80k but it was the best feeling ever to pay cash. Would I do it again like that? Yes.
