I don’t want to be your dream crasher , but let me Tell you this. Im 100 % independent . Reefer hauler . Last year I drove 67000 loaded / empty and I grossed 204,000 . I will never will understand , why you work under someone authority and pay them for doing nothing , when you do 95% of the required work to run a company on your own ?????? I don’t haul loads for less than 3.00 or less than 1,000 per day . And I go anywhere I want to go . I have the freedom . No one is telling me or controlling my rate .

Thing is, 200,000 + per year, sounds good, but as an independent, out of that comes your expenses, fuel, maintenance, licenses, insurance, what is actual profit varies, some guys always make it sound like easy money, if you want it, it’s not going to be handed to you, you have to get out there and take it, over 3 million miles tells me that

[@bruceevert1655]

Last yr ran 110k. Landstar dry van. I do two trips out of the house per month(18 days total per month). Gross was 370k. Paid to the truck was 252k(after Landstar Co. and Landstar Agent cut.) After expenses(no truck pmt.) Net was 158k. Paid myself 60k. Have 0 debt except for house pmt. (Will pay off the day I retire). Put 50k yr into a tax deferred personal 401k(Keogh Acct). Left balance in Business acct as profit for future Capital Expenditures. You won't get rich as a Landstar O/O, But if you do it right you will have a nice retirement. The key is 0 truck payments. Pay Cash. Get trucks with rebuilt motors(paperwork), or factory reman engines. No DEF.. Make it legal, replace all parts necessary heat/cool, used apu. Don't buy the first truck you see. Get oil samples and rig dig done. No automatic trans(very expensive to fix or replace). Get a 13 spd. 3.42 or 3.36 rears. Good fuel mileage is key.

I don’t understand what benefits Landstar offers, other than what he stated. Why give them part of the profit when you’re doing all the work to get loads, owning your trucks, etc. Are there other expensive benefits they offer like insurance coverage or other financial benefits?

[@thetruckerslearningchannel3211]

@hankhill747 the benefits a awesome here. He just touched on a few. HUGE fuel, tire, and labor discounts. They handle IFTA, permits, cross border paperwork, and much more. Insurance isn't bad either. Yes, you can do those things yourself. But it's going to cost you. The biggest mistake/assumption people make, they can't do the actual math. It's not just 65%, it's much more if you know what you're doing

[@JTDyer21]

If I can save up to pay cash for a truck with a good solid maintenance fund and clear $1 per mile after taxes, fuel, and insurance then Landstar may be a good choice for me.

[@gregorysagegreene]

Approx $2.22 per mile, ... for how many hours per week ?, plus how much of that is net after expenses ? I hear most owner drivers saying they won't bid for less than $2 anyway. And could I make decent money with vanilla Dry Van Drop'n'Hook (as a Business) with Landstar, instead of having to run Flatbed and tarp and climb up and get dirty all the time ? I'm like 59 man, had to live out on the road for months at a time, and don't have the luxury of a home or the time to do laundry every day. The problem is there is no honest laid out financial information in the industry for those who want to be owner operators. I'm just having trouble figuring out how the guy is saying "you don't have to run hard" when a Truck has enormous expenses, and all I've seen out there so far in my 3 years of driving are all these companies peddling 'Fleece-Purchase' programs where the driver never gets to own a truck - but is forced to have some other strange guy sleep with him all the time ? I forget how many times some Driver has painted 'blue-sky' to me about their company in a truck stop cafe. And I have never once come across an owner operator who would reveal a breakdown of miles, revenue, cost structures, and net to me . . . You're telling me last year he ran an average of only 2,000 mi per week to do well? I ran 3400 mi a week dedicated for 2 months, reefer live load/unloads, just my '34' when I got back, and only saved $5,000 as a company driver. It exhausted me, and the company owner was pushing things on me that might have destroyed my career if I hadn't been smart enough to push him back on. I have three (non-liberal) degrees, with honors, from a community college - one in Economics (business) and another in Accounting. And I had to go trucking this past 3 years just so I would not have to be homeless. But I would kill for the knowledge and/or business mentorship of how to run my own game, without having the Capital to start it. Send me 12 months worth of legitimate spreadsheets and financial statements for a typical owner driver, Landstar, and I'll consider it? As a prospective business owner, do I not have the right to do my 'due diligence' ??? 🚛💨 . . .

Where as the driver who got laid off, can only afford a few weeks off without pay, no funds to start his own business.

So with that said, how much is actually going to the bank? I hear ppl and companies say all the time the grossed this and that but as long as there are some sings/decals on the sides of your vehicle those stickers gonna keep trying to charge for different shit.

Well duh he’s pulling a step deck .Vans you’ll never make that. So don’t get your hopes up. They nickel and dime you every time you turn around.went to take extended time off? Not at Landstar they’ll be calling you . They will Threaten you we are deactivate you and you’ll have to go back throw orientation again. I work at Landstar for 4 years. I pulled step flat . Money was good . But when I left and went to a small company pulling a reefer , The first week I made more money with less mile . It’s a fact. I’ve sat at the same dock next to a Landstar and chatted about rates on the same load and I was making 600.00 more on the same load, We were going to the same delivery.. I didn’t want to bust this BCO bubble because you can always tell a Landstar BCO. They are the one that can’t fit their head through the door...

Your title makes it seemed like he did 1.5 million miles for 200K. I’d rather move in with Oscar the grouch.

[@MuthaTrucker]

Sorry, just couldn't fit everything in the title

How come all your videos show guys making good money but I also see other experienced drivers channels where they say you can't even pay the Bill's driving otr. I ask because I'm a career diesel mechanic and I make about 90 to 100k a year but I'm thinking about jumping into a truck to try and make more but it seems so up and down. I live near Fontana ca it's like a trucking mecca here so plenty of jobs to choose from but I only want to do this if its going to be profitable in the long run.

[@craigj.651]

Unless u just want new scenery I would stay put making 90k, open your own shop

[@mattsmith817]

@@craigj.651 unfortunately that seems to be the consensus. I was looking for a change but only if I can make more money. I thought if I was willing to work As much as I could I might stand to make 150k.

[@SkilledEddie]

Starting out if you go company driver you will take a major pay cut for the first couple years. I would stay a mechanic and go home every night and sleep in your own bed, shower, toilet and fridge and eat what you want. Life on the road is hard you give up a lot out here.

[@mattsmith817]

@@SkilledEddie I knew I'd take a pay cut in the beginning. My thinking was I cant do what I do forever and thought driving might assist me in getting to a better retirement goal. But it doesn't sound like a good option so far

[@JuanTorres-yi1hr]

In the truck industry, ( 1) You will drive your life away, ( 2) You will confine/ isolate your self, and your family,(3) and money will supersede everything; therefore, don't expect others ( family), to do the same; inclusively, (4) the truck industry is one of the most corrupt industry in the U.S.A; meaning, they ( 99% of Companies), will sell/ promote a liying dream.

[@Muggs123]

I would not be bragging about that money.its really not that good.

[@ibe8920]

Fundamentally 650 mile per 11 hours a day is the average for most drivers - sorry it needs 4 co drivers to make it 1.5M miles a year

[@MuthaTrucker]

No. He has 1.5 million miles under his belt and last year he drove 100k miles and made 221k gross

[@grantmarut7488]

If you doing all the work y don't u go under your own authority

[@PeteMirnyi]

🎉🎉🎉👊🏼

[@MerlinMoorlo]

220k gross as an owner??? lol russian truckers making 400 000 gross(reefer) LOL. With best months about 50-60k monthly with profit about 25-30k. This was before crysis 24 february but anyway guys. U too lazy :P

[@dominickaguilera2362]

They ripped you off

[@joshriles84]

Seams like this repeated a few times

[@RafaelAPena-ei8uk]

1,500,000 divided by 12=125,000 divided by 30=4,166 miles a day, living on slave time still. This is just too much for nothing.

[@luvkalafo]

With HOS rules how is this possible? 11 hrs drive per day 11*60mph = 660 miles per day. 4000 miles per day not possible.

[@tonydupont4378]

Landstar...lol
