Yes. Everything that happens , specially in our economy , it is political. HOWEVER, if we were educated and aware of this game , we wouldn’t let this happen . We are 100s of thousands truckers who are working hard to keep this economy and the people moving forward. Why we are letting this to happen to us ? ? Politician are supposed to work for us , for the community , for our society. We are allowing this.

Agreed. That's why we need to stick together as we have discussed. I wish I could do magic and fix it. It has to start somewhere. Thank you.

We got customers and landscpers beating us up in the landscape business. Don't worry nobody wants to pay for anything unless they are the ones charging top dollar.

I been watching your videos for awhile now.. Your 💯 Percent 🎯.. A lease operator is basically a financial slave to the company.. these lease operators are not owner operators.. I hear them bitch whine piss and complain about how they have to run so many miles or how they have to work so much... A real owner operator has his/her own authority.. Many of these lease operators have a way higher education then I have and yet they put them own selves through the hell.. You are correct these people who purchase a lease should not blame the Brooker or political parties or the companies... The lease purchasers should blame themselves for being stupid.. The borrower is and will always be slave to the lender... It is amazing how a person that moves from one country to another buys a Truck 🚛 as a real owner operator and understands how the trucking industry works... It costs alot of money to run a tractor trailer.. Fuel ⛽ labour metanince.. I recall four or five years ago truckers were bragging about $5.00 per mile USD.. Many truckers should of never took way less pay and more work.. The easiest way to say no was for many truckers to hang up the keys.. Your right many accepted the low wages.. I think its because many of these lease operators get a new truck 🚛 and they suck themselves into a financial slave contract.. I don't blame you for a second for not excepting low rates for a long haul... If more keep excepting lower and lower rates then those who agree to lower and lower rates should only blame themselves.. Thank You for driving truck 🚛 and working hard so people like me can buy products in the store... Your 💯🎯 I cannot blame you for not excepting lower and lower rates, keep standing up for what is Right 👍👍👍👍💪💪👏

Thank you Dereck . I really appreciate your input . For some truckers it is easy to blame someone else for their own shortcomings. If those truckers don’t start changing their mentality , nothing is going to change in this industry . Thank you again , for your time , for watching my video and most importantly , for Your comment.

Home loans and heloc loans are based off of your federal tax returns by law. As an owner operator or an independent contractor it is very hard to get a loan because of this fact. You have stated what you make per month. In my calculations you gross less than $250,000 per year before deductions. After deductions you should be around $50,000 to $60,000 taxable net. With that information, how did you get a loan for 10 times your annual salary? I just purchased a home. I went through the process. I had perfect credit. My annual gross was very comparable to yours. The banks would only allow me to borrow $185,000 for the purchase of a home. Educate me.

Nice and true video. The problem aren’t the brokers nor the narrative the brokers want you to believe that it’s the economy. We are the problem because we let them do whatever it is that they want with us and let them pay us whatever is that they please. Meanwhile, out there there are owner operators or lease drivers working for mere pennies so this is never going to change. Wake up people! While you guys are out there working, driving to take a load that pays nothing basically working for free, these brokers are relaxing in the comfort of their own homes with their families enjoying all the money that you guys earn them working for free. Meanwhile you guys have to leave your families for days, even weeks. Have you stopped to think how hard it is for a wife and kids to be left alone for that amount of time? Consider all of this, don’t be stupid or ignorant. Make sure your sacrifices are paid for what they’re really worth and stop working for free because the day you don’t have enough to fix your truck or any other problems with your equipment no one will be there to help you out except your family.
