New York city and its location

Picking up a trip at a very small place in Miami and going up too the Bronx New York city

[@terrencehouse3249]

You are right. Even though the loads are paying better, the cost of fuel offsets the rate increase.

[@albertonegron3323]

Awsomw truck and great video

[@brooklynmike8353]

I was born and raised in NYC my whole life and still live in NYC till this day. They load/unload trucks like this in the streets all the time. NYC really puts your trucking skills to the test. If you can drive a truck in NYC with no problem then every other state will be a piece of cake

[@Fltruckriderz]

Yes sir ny city is crazy

[@utah2nyc250]

That’s why they pay you more to go to nyc I go there all the time like my user name said I travel from Utah to nyc

[@magicstrucking2163]

Nice dash cam and Beautiful truck

[@markhenson7785]

Hi curly my name is mark like your vlogs. Keeping on trucking. Love cat

[@Jose-gq8wc]

That's my old neighborhood I used to work in the Huntspoint market I learned to drive a truck there in 1987 n I'm still driving but I don't go to NYC because it doesn't pay me what it should. But make your money these are different times and new generations.

[@JC-kk6hr]

I like the way you always look out for your peeps 😎✌

[@lifelilrico9725]

Hey man I know this was a damn year ago lol 😂 but my aunt is a dispatcher she says money for loads will not go up because it has nothing to do with gas she also said it’s the truckers taking load for 2000$ to cross country sometimes dispatchers take more then they need but it’s all about how you talk to them oh yeah that yellow stuff on your truck is pollen that’s the English word idk if it’s a Spanish version it sounds the same just with a Spanish accent but keep trucking man you inspiring me to want to go reefer 🤙🏽💯

[@faithford9143]

This is one of your best blogs. I felt like I was there all the way. Thanks

[@leonardtownsend4662]

😂 we in South Carolina call the yellow dust pollen

[@sfcrmsa]

Nice run up to New York. I am from Philly and I see why you.like this route. Stay safe, good luck getting out of NYC.

Thanks my bro God bless you and your family

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting this video. Old school families first positive man tells it like it is in trucking industry .

[@Jose-gq8wc]

I do think that cutting the overhead expense would help you offset the fuel cost buy upgrading to newer equipment and getting better fuel economy. I use to have 5 379 Peterbilt 02 04 and three 07 and now I have 579 models.

[@FredyLagos]

If a Walmart truck ever blows the air horn at you in Florida, it’s me 😀

[@Fltruckriderz]

[@SIRO1953PR]

[@JayBando213]

Definitely tight spot... awesome Video

[@adco]

Great video. Rates are good right now because they need to move the load. But it looks like fuel prices are going to stay up there. Great video! Thank you for sharing 👏👏👏👏

[@danielsaenz7789]

I agree its breaking even every truck load ur right ... Se watcha con madre la mamalona limpia😎👊✌

[@jmarco4331]

Wouldn’t look as cool but wouldn’t it be easier backing with shorter wheelbase? Great videos, love Fla too....

[@Fltruckriderz]

Oh yes but if you want the look u have to pay the price

[@reggiesmith2535]

Good afternoon. Safe travel. Have fun in the Boogie Down Bronx

[@keithfurlow5024]

So the green goblin is a 2002, damn it looks great no doubt! But I have a question, did you have those mirror frames put on it, didn’t think that style wasn’t put on them until 2005. Just curious 🧐 be safe bruh and another great video.

[@Fltruckriderz]

Yes my truck been custom all the way

[@lamarr85l.a96]

[@davidanddiana7173]

[@vinbags]

I agree with you..plus all the other things that go up...your meals..necessities...parts for truck and trailer..

[@msbeachgirl]

First time watching you! Really enjoyed trucking along with you! It would have been nice if they had more than one person unloading you.

[@Fltruckriderz]

Thanks glad u enjoy

[@beardeddad74]

Pollen sucks! We haven't seen it up here YET (Southern Massachusetts), but when the tree pollen goes wild up here, riding my motorcycle becomes an adventure! Trying not to sneeze with the helmet on! Great video brother glad to see you doing well! God Bless!

[@Fltruckriderz]

Thanks my bro God bless

[@island3r289]

@Ridez, Have you seen that truck out of Georgia that looks just yours? I was at Americold in ATL a few weeks ago and thought it was you, until a brother jumped out it, lol.....Be safe out there man! 😎

[@Fltruckriderz]

No bro never seen it

[@FLDFLK]

In this locations without ramps we use in europe pallet trucks 4 easy and quick downloading. It helps the forklift driver and we're quick back in the road

[@jessecastro4733]

Wow brother that shipper put you and the “Green Goblin “ in a tuff spot for backing but like always you pull it off!!! Parking is becoming tough everywhere you go now!!! With the cost of fuel, IFTA taxes and you having a long nose Peterbilt your probably right at breaking even!!! Bro you drive through the NYC like you lived there before!!! Lol Crazy unloading like that off street in residential area!!! Dope video and good content!!! Be safe and we will definitely see you on the next one 😎✌️

[@SUBI_PaT]

Ahhhh yes the good o’l pollen happy allergy season lol awesome video buddy

[@lucvu8824]

Bro I don’t miss NY at all I drove in the city for 18 years in a dumb truck doing construction sites taking dirt to Pa back in the day to see you driving that big rigs and many others truckers too I tips my hat to all you guys stay safe and God bless you all and keep on trucking peace my brother

[@Fltruckriderz]

Thanks bro God bless you homie

[@davidwilliams6645]

You are absolutely right. You are just breaking even or less

[@crackinwise18]

That dude had to get off the forklift 4 times just to get one pallet off the truck... they need a better unload system..lol... You are right about fuel costs. What I found is that fuel costs usually increase more than rates when you break it down to percentages. Most likely the increase in rate is from the fuel surcharge . As an overall percentage of your cost of doing business fuel costs has increased at a greater percentage than the linehaul rate. Stay safe

[@jasonjohnson892]

What's the name of that song at 17:47 when you're travelling at night to New York? Fits the nice journey so well! Even your truck's engine was in the beat of the song.

[@teescott7473]

Fuel prices go up, load prices have to compensate!... Typical inflation!.... So yeah... You're correct...

[@1tuffzx10]

I agree with you on the freight rates are still only covering the higher price of fuel. That yellow stuff in English in pollen, I'm sure someone else said something in the comments 🤧. Gotta love the Cross Bronx Express Way & the Vince Lombardi 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️. That's my home so it's what I cut my teeth on when I 1st started trucking in 91. Funny thing is it still looks the same, lol😂😂. I mean a few upgrades but 90% still the same

[@vroor32]

I would be very concerned about dragging pallets on the floor and against the sidewalk. Nails on pallets & dragging on wall will create holes ... And holes cost $$ to patch

[@johnnyboy7206]

You absolutely right on fuel ⛽️.. be prepared is goin UP even more.. video like 👍.. bro.. be safe..

[@ronaldpoole4608]

God bless and keep on trucking

[@damienwolstenholme9490]

[@MagiicPvR]

Love the vids bro, keep it up 🙏🏼❤️

[@reggiesmith2535]

Just say Paul len. The yellow stuff. But is spelled is Pollen . And your right about the fuel debate It benefit the other driver because of the type of truck he drives

[@deluxetransport3208]

I'm running a load based on the fuel prices from yesterday, price was 2.61 gal (with my fuel card discount) this morning it was 2.75 gal , up 14c over night

[@staceydavis2016]

It's Pollen season from the trees allergies start real bad also 17th year for the cicadas bug too.

[@Jose-gq8wc]

I use to buy fuel for $1.00 a gallon in the late 80s rates are alot better but they are behind from where it should be. fuel is where is supposed to be with the new type of fuel saving the trucks are today. But Insurance is to high.

[@markwhite6719]

That's a nice shirt the american flag with the stripes on it where did u get it ??

Your now doing the 🐝 job, by pollinating the plants and trees through transportation.

[@jerrydecker1871]

i like to ask you if you would post the information about your truck and trailer (year & engine size)

[@xziyawalton2565]

The new look is nice

[@woodfordreserve6673]

Pour the Lucas in BEFORE you fuel up so it mixes better

[@SMOKINJOE2898]

That slow ass fork lift driver is why i started pulling tankers back in 2000, takes damn near 4 hour’s by himself with nobody else from the store to help him hook the rope up.

[@koolshoe6254]

When you're passing someone you suppose to pass on the left side not the right. Mannnn truck drivers today be killing me with that. Good video

[@evolutionlancer7358]

i car haul with a 9 car hauler all over NYC. love it hate it lol

[@Fltruckriderz]

Yes sir tell me about it

[@augustinwoodley9554]

When did you get the fenders?

[@jfmmccoll9189]

Yellow stuff is Pine Tree pollen. It is actually the trees dna marker. This is a common Florida allergen. Thanks for the video, always like the content and when you I’d your location. Txs, Frank

[@MrKickazz101]

The yellow dust is called “pollen “

[@liza.andkeithsimpson5081]

Next time you go to New York stop by Levittown pa and see me

[@tombuchanan8080]

We like what you said looking good at all times. The cost of fuel offsets the increase. But if you can get fuel surcharges might help.

[@pabloromanosjr4321]

Stay safe god bless amigo

[@kennyspry5189]

You are Correct on your thinking on the Fuel and Rates I'm Sorry BUT your Friend is Totally WRONG No Disrespect to your Friend Awesome Video Also they have done Studies on what happens when Fuel Goes Up EVERYONE LOOSES in the end those are Fact studies by High End People Who do that Crap

[@spydermanmike]

Wow..No traffic on the degan 👊🏽

[@slooo9]

BSAFE BABE ..... LOVE WHAT YOU DO ....

[@johngardner5799]

When are you going back to Johanna foods..I’m an owner operator for them and I would like to meet you.

[@YARCHLRL]

You are in a good mood... Good for you . Don't be so serious all the time lol....

[@harryhustle7177]

the only way to determine this actually is to do the numbers. It really depends on the cost of the load versus the cost of the fuel. If I take a load for $2500 that travels say 1000 miles I'm getting $2.50 per mile. If my truck does 6 MPG thats approx 167 gallons of fuel used. Your current fuel cost is 2.85 so thats approx $475 for the trip. BUT let's say you take that same trip and the load now pays $3K and the fuel cost rises to $3 per gallon. Now I'm making $3 per mile and the cost of the fuel is approx $500. So for $25 more in fuel I earn $500 in cash. Sound like a break even to you now? lol the only way to break even is to spend the SAME amount in the cost of fuel that the difference in the loads pay...thats why it depends on the scenario of what the loads pay.

[@albertonegron3323]

Awsome*

[@slooo9]

HEY BRO .... HOWS YOUR FATHER AN GRANDFATHER THIS REMINDES ME OF BACK IN THE DAY I USE TO DELIVER CHICKENS IN THE BRONX..... USING CHAINS AN STRAPS.... CRAZY.... SIMILIAR... CURBSIDE.... LOL...

[@Fltruckriderz]

They are good thanks bro

[@Carhaulercharlie]

Yea that pollen is real bad this time of year. I’ll see you out there, be safe!

[@Fltruckriderz]

Thanks bro likewise

[@TheDodgeRamGuy]

Sounds like the rates went up to compensate for the higher fuel prices like you said it just about averages out welcome to New York City I would not want to live across from that place either even if it was soundproof

[@davidmassey9171]

What are the songs you use in your videos?

[@richmakessmoke6542]

Pollin the yellow dust is called pollin

[@LuisCastro-bp1yq]

Yea you are right the reason loads pay more is because of fuel inflation is the term I believe they use but basically it’s just a law so the brokers don’t abuse of the trucker when fuel rate goes up

[@SUBI_PaT]

Wouldn’t it be easier to get a pallet jack an bring them to the edge of the trailer an then use the forklift to offload everything vs using a chain an getting out hookup yo the forks then back in then do it all over again....lol

[@El_Ciribillo.1]

What engine does the truck have

[@יריבשדה-ס5ש]

Nice drive. How is your dad doing? No more trips together?

[@Fltruckriderz]

Dad is good yes we will be back together soon

[@robertesposito9871]

Those places are why I won’t do reefers give me a step deck anyday, and that dust is called pollen, where are you going ? Hunts point?

[@j.r.branch1681]

The yellow dust is called pollen brother

[@Fltruckriderz]

Thanks homie

[@para55a2]

you are a very smart young man. Your friend may not see it your way because he thinks the fact that more money = a better rate. I wish it was that simple but has fuel rates increase, tax, tolls, tires and maintence increase the "rate" doesn't keep up. for example, if the load pays $2.00 a mile, and you have a 500 mile run, the load pays $1000.00, but if you subtract the fuel surcharge (currently .36 cpm) the rate is really $164 per mile. At least that is how I see it. If you want to keep up with fuel cost the rate should be $2.36 per mile. Then you have a chance. Then you have to buy fuel at the cheapest place while still getting quality fuel. Maybe you can only buy 100 gallons now, but it gets you to a place that fuel is less expensive and you can fill up. The truck can run just fine on a half tank of fuel. Just my two cents, but what do I knw I have only been driving a truck since 1978. Believe me we were talking about the same thing then, only fuel was .75 cent a gallon then! if you got a $1.00 a mile it was good. Any, things change but remain the same....Your a good guy FL Truck Riders (sorry I don't know your name) but I'm glad you are in the business, I wish and hope for you to have the very best of health and luck (for your family also) in the future. Be healthy and happy my friend!!
