[@zephaniahparahoo2549]

can you make a video about ways to make residual money or passive income when you maxed out your driving time? I was thinking about driving uber as a side hustle when im not in the truck do you think thats a good idea?

[@cristobalpatino9180]

What about if you're just getting started?

[@rustyshackleford8060]

I come home every 4 months to support my Nancy. Good thing I can count on Redcorn to keep an eye on her while I'm gone. yup

[@LucidAnimationTV]

My home is on the road. When i take time off it's for high quality vacations. Thats me tho.

[@zach8969]

That's because you don't have a family

[@LucidAnimationTV]

@@zach8969 that was 2 year's ago buddy. I'm home with my family daily now

[@dwezzy2519]

A lot of drivers go home on weekends because there's not many trucks on the road Saturday and Sunday.

[@allheartgritgrind1489]

You can get home every week or every weekend doing OTR and get over 3000 miles but it depends on where you live.(if your home is centrally located like say Little Rock,Memphis or Nashville it’s possible because chances are you’re going through those cities a lot)

[@TowPiglet]

I'm otr hotshot and 2 months sounds about right

[@kmclogistics3002]

If your money is right, go home every week. Some people OTR can, some cannot. It's all about timing , lanes, and if you are on cpm or %. Either way, you are the only person who knows if your money is right or not.

[@travisharris173]

Awesome videos bro. You shoot it straight and that’s legit. Much respect

[@ced54930]

😂😂 " If you dont like big women stop hunting in golden coral" shit too funny

[@TheGoodBait]

This was one of the most informative videos that you have made. Answered a lot of my unasked questions. Thank you.

[@hollythorn9004]

local run, home each night. Hauling Milk. $80,000 a year. Go run flatbed OTR. $72,000 A year. Where's the benefit of being gone all the time?

[@Thefallengamer636]

holly thorn none

[@delvonhall3469]

TB, so true about everything. Thanks for keeping it 100 on here. Well take care...

[@williewilliams7807]

I think that for lease o/o or whoever have a truck payment every week when u have a normal once a month 1400 payment u can go home way more than that that’s my opinion

[@aqua6613]

I have 40 earned days off...how much should you go home? NEVER!! Lol...i might take november and december off...maybe get a cabana in cancun ?

[@LittleLight-777]

I had a partner that was doing every month because of he’s family, it’s nothing wrong with a family but every month was hurting my pockets, now that I’m solo every two to 3 months seems more reasonable.

[@CrazedJoker86]

If your pockets hurting after you stay out a month, you doing it wrong, cuz.

[@smitty_da_oneonly4388]

That sounds about right, doing 6-7 weeks over here but I am a trainer so it’s easier. Great video G

[@franklinbrandon5283]

Smitty Vlogsss I agree brother!!! we Are OTR DRIVERS!!!!

[@jaygash5640]

I felt this video bro!! I run 4 to 5 weeks then home. Works for me.

[@wrdshmn]

I dunno, man. I was getting two days off every two weeks (12 on/2 off), and I felt like a damn lab animal. There's no way I could do 2 months.

[@zach8969]

When you're married and have kids staying out for 2+ months is hard. That's why I'm a dedicated driver for Wal-Mart, I get to be home every week or 2 weeks

[@zach8969]

@John_R_Jackson_III This was a while ago, I quit trucking for good. Yes its tough to survive on a pay cut because I will never make the money I did trucking and I pretty much make minimum wage now but I got sick and tired of not having a life and being treated like trash by these companies.

[@silk2smooth542]

The people telling you to stay out go home every night

[@mdrummond101977]

Good content and advice as always man. Keep the wheels turning bro

[@daltonbaer5733]

"Stop picking companies because someone says they're good" he says while he's telling people what companies and how to drive because he thinks it's the good way.

[@EricEsoterica]

TB was goin in on this one, legendary video!

[@aqua6613]

Mega carrier worked for me in flexibility. OTR did recovery now texas regional...loads are drying up so i am doing an extended regional to run more miles.

[@bryanhiland8972]

I go home every weekend Take 34 off at home. I still drive as much as i want to

[@davidbuhler5825]

I do 4000 miles a week and home for 36hours and back at it

[@4thHorsemam]

You might as well stay out for a bit 36 hours ain’t enough it’s gonna take 12 hours just to catch up on sleep debt.

[@davethatrucker5208]

I run 4000k and am home for my 34 but I book my own loads. It’s good freight coming in and out of my hometown and we have a terminal 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@allheartgritgrind1489]

So now the high-visibility jackets/vest are now a thing in the trucking industry,gotta make sure people see you in the warehouse or truck stop parking lot I guess.

[@michaelchristopher1989]

have any of you stopped to think about your health and consequences to this lifestyle?

[@florida4931]

Mike F. Exactly. Fast food and eating trash every day for 2 months barely being able to take a shower fighting and stressing trying to find spots at the pilot lmao nah 2 months isn’t worth it

[@qqblue2932]

That's because they don't eat healthy... I keep 2 jugs of alkaline water and get fruits and the only fast food I eat is arbys lol

[@unfundedtony4814]

I have, that's why I'm only out a week at a time and take about 2-4 days off and I hardly eat out I always cook my own food in my truck, I hate fast food.. hurts my stomach

[@unfundedtony4814]

I also try out different gyms when I'm on the road if I have time

[@Imbrokeaintgotit]

I going home every two weeks for 3 days making 90k a year . Fuck all that 2 months Shit. I got a life to live

[@traviscarter1023]

I mean run for as much you can stack up a 401k. That's the shit people don't think about yeah you can have fun. Take time to go on vacation after that get focused. Truckers gotta get use to the snow put ya chains on in the winter. Some companies will pay you to run chains. People don't take advantage of the opportunity to get to the extra bag . If you got kids and child support you gotta think about all that and retirement plans so you need money. This man is speaking nothing but truth.

[@TandrafitTravelBOSS]

Great content TB! Thank for being honest!

[@ecnoecno]

I generally do 2 1/2 months out...and three weeks home and do well... 2 months out sounds about right to me...but everybody situation is different

[@rupertplum1709]

Did the 3 weeks home hurt your pay?

[@nc32203]

Depend$..I go home 2 to 3 times a month

[@patricktyler4303]

Don't come averitt they won't get you home on time even though they run a lot of regional work I can tell you that for fact.

[@gregoryware2411]

Nice video! Once again Thanks For "THE GAME"

[@xoEverx]

Idk if that doesn’t make you a runner, I know someone who goes home every 2 weeks, drives 3k a week. Takes home 1600 a week, just gotta be with the right company

[@ricky115775]

Nice to see someone out there reppin that Reading Rainbow. Gotta let em know Levar Burton still got shooters out here.

[@Fishssalestoday]

I went home every other week when I was with Melton and I did not even have to travel out of route to go home while on a load because I stay near i-80 and most of the loads I had ran up and down i-80 anyway so why sit at a truck stop and do my 10-hour break when I could just go home and do it so when Christmas and New year's came out rack up so much hometime days anyway I would stay off 2 weeks. But I still man over 60 Grand a year

[@tkitoer4416]

How do you make your own food OTR or get good food choices? I'm running CA/USA (mid-west) but they take us home everyweek. We can go OTR but i'm just worried about food choices... Any tips ?

[@craigd.4768]

Never is often enough for me. Well said TB.

[@CarolinaKID910]

What ppl got to understand even though they pretty much guaranteed home every weekend it dont work like that every time this a forever gone industry if you want that paper. Im home every weekend but i choose to be out how ever long i want i have burnt myself at a year and half in the game 4 months straight

[@Joshualibbyy]

9:50 - 10:05 bro ive been laughing on the floor for like an hr i played this part at .25 speed and its hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

[@marcusmaclin9866]

When I was at usa truck, they ask that you at least stay out no less then 2 weeks, I went home every 24 days

[@DavidKornrumpfII]

I do well with lease at boyd but also 4 yr flat bedder , I chose when I want to go home or stay out if the freight is there to justify a nice weekend run

[@gibbs826]

im a container driver now, but when i was o.t.r, i did 2 months out at a time too. To make decent money you should do at least 2 months minimum. i dont agree with everything T.B says but hes right about this one

[@teecee9926]

He right,if you want to be regional go to a regional company. I work for UPS freight so I can stay home.🤷🏽‍♀️ I wouldnt go OTR knowing I want to go home after 4days.

[@lilkgrewup]

That was funny but real when he said . if you go home every 3 weeks that gets you kicked out as a runner!!

[@lonewulf108]

“I said...*cough*” 😂😂😂

[@RunningAces2022]

3 Months out, 10 days in

[@lionhead_nhd3055]

And one more thing bro ill never and in my 9yrs have never drove for a mega company to many trucks to much sitting i only would fuck with a company that only have no more then 20 trucks ...trust that

[@lionhead_nhd3055]

Browmn i fuckz with you never question none of your content by not following this one i stay in miami i normally leave out the house and head up to NJ from NJ some where like ohio and from there back to the 305 bro that making a gross of 5 to 7 grand bring home 1500 to 1800s why not do mu reset at my house ...i been out here taking no 34 running day for day 7 a week 6 to 7 week running and that check pretty much stays that same maybe 2 to 400$ more sumtime...thanks for listen broski...but being out like that is insane that just my opinion 💰💰💰💰✌☝

[@jaygash5640]

Yea some of them don't know about that reading rainbow!😂

[@franklinbrandon5283]

Yeah I agree My opinion 8weeks out is norm for me too!!!

[@jonathanc2773]

Trucker brown.Maybe make a video on how people can train thereself how to stay out for months at a time?

[@Runndeep]

Research research research like the man said, find companies that do what you want to do. Period. Good info truck

[@RockerT1000]

If you ain't turning you ain't earning...

[@daviddebergh254]

Can you do a tour of your truck? Round nose KWs are nice. Stay safe TB.

[@jamalfenning6676]

Yo I’m a new Sub. I’m born and raised in Chesapeake Va. I’m a new Trucker as well I’ve been OD on your Videos but this one right here almost had me drive off da fuk’n Mountain. I drive dedication route from Salt Lake to Ca. One Mo thing how do you get restriction off your L’s C.R. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 only have Automatic Trucks .

[@alextorres747]

Im out for 7 days and I still pull a little over 2k a week

[@nathanredmond2595]

Keep on running it will catch up with you remember what told you health going to be screwed up look at you getting fat by the month

[@robertlopez1088]

You saying straight my man.tell it like it is. No B.S.

[@mosesblack8946]

To be fair a lot of these companies guarantee a certain hometime ratio and don't deliver

[@ricky115775]

TB, you mentioned Boyd having a pretty good program, do you have any more info on that?

[@ChrisTian-wx1rh]

Can I get the best of both worlds? The travel of OTR but still be home every 2 weeks

[@jessieodom7119]

what's wrong with new drivers? you do what you do. u want to be home weekly be home .2 weeks .piss on bonuses agree on what you need to live on and do your job piss on the lil crumbs they offer to benefit them get some years behind you and then talk about home, if you have one lol after 10 .speaking on exp the more you are disconnected at home then that connection is made at another outlet don't let trucking drive you .you drive your business,prime is a puppy mill carrier always have been always will be a stepping stone until they find the next fool

[@BIGONE81]

Agree

[@allheartgritgrind1489]

Why go to that OTR company?..because that’s the only one that approved and called him.

[@ralphwhite5755]

You missin the point TB really you not home enough. Spending all the time & stress making somebody else filthy rich it’s got to be a better balance raising your seeds

[@cebuanoguy]

If Local was like any other 9-5 job then I’d believe it would be enough to fulfill family obligations. But that is not the case, Local or OTR you are working 14 hours a day, and that’s not including the time commuting to go to work. This goes for otr and Local dudes also. You got bad meat back home? Bullsh*t lol. Give me 2 weeks and I’ll find out how many side dudes she got, and which kid is not yours. 1 in 3 Children fail dna paternity test. I didn’t make that up, that’s a government statistic.

[@malikkhalid2941]

how much does the average o/o clear every month...i do normally 8-10k local home every night and thats good enough for me

[@asedano72]

Is this the company you started with?

[@brothertimothyj3699]

Hahaha 😆 "If you don't like big women stop hunting in the Golden Coral"....... Lol you hell bruh

[@onceagaindc]

You said it best. Trucking is what you make it to be If I gotta do 2 months. Ill do 2 months. 2-4 months from not going home to your city and relaxing for a day is terrible. Fuck that. I love money but come on.

[@DodgeMuscle]

All I miss about OTR are lot lizards!!😁😁

[@jimmysavage258]

Do you think Magnum is a good company?

[@GG-ix1nr]

Ok so you go home about every 2months. My question is how long do u stay home

[@johnny2fire732]

How long should you be home

[@Tim_281]

Your stuff always make sense TB good video,take care man.

[@possumnewsnetwork1191]

Oh snap TB Dropping the knowledge in this bitch, calling dem punks out on the carpet and plugging Reading Rainbow.... LeVar burton an OG no doubt

[@dbutler6789]

U ain’t lying on the otr life.

[@linelltillman9709]

Hey TB what's your view on the PACCAR MX13 engine?

[@whocarebutyou9065]

Do you ever go home? If so, you should do more video on your personal life.

[@therealtruckerbrown]

No

[@petemunoz7148]

U must not be the owner of the truck u drive ur probably a lease owner operator I own my truck and go home every week with a real check u can be out 2,3 months but sit at a truck stop not making money

[@davidtabor1378]

Fuck going home, everything come second too the money

[@JonesFamily2023]

Idc wat folks say dis guy be spitting all BIG FACTZ KEEP DOING YA YHANG OG

[@karissatalley3752]

Swantez Jones YOU MUST BE A NEW DRIVER 🤣🤣🤣 IF YOU THINK THIS JACKASS IS ON POINT. HES NOT!!! IM ALSO A TRUCK DRIVER

[@askatrucker5548]

Swantez Jones u don’t have to be out 2 months just to make money.... it all depends on the company u work for... I only work local or regional...I did 69k last year locally don’t listen to speech find out for yourself

[@herefrvr]

So y’all tellin me y’all stay out for months and get all this money for what? Just to live in a truck?

[@BigTruckerJ]

“Too”👌🏽

[@zip912z7]

If you don't like big women stop hunting at the Golden corral. That's the shitt

[@rogerdalemckinney2889]

When are you people going to wise up and stop driving for companies that pay by the mile pay by the load the way to go stop counting miles

[@drivingforce8631]

It’s supply and demand. The shippers want to pay cheap as possible so it doesn’t matter if you are on percentage or mileage. No shipper every said I want to pay more to transport something 👌

[@rogerdalemckinney2889]

Swift Driving force bulshit I'll make a hell of a lot more on percentage than I ever made by the mile

[@BigTruckerJ]

I’ve only been driving for a year so far and I would love to but I don’t have my own rig to be able to do that.

[@GhostdogTrucker]

@@rogerdalemckinney2889 ? I'm thinking of going to percentage pay but I hear you bcan deadhead six hundred miles no pay. Is that a fact?

[@rogerdalemckinney2889]

Special K at my company we pick and choose our loads if you have to deadhead that far refuse the load.

[@mighty995]

hes right

[@jabirzaeef1208]

Run your truck to the ground spend 400 to 500 hundred dollars a day on fuel👌

[@SpaceCityGod]

*You're home *too much.

[@protege09]

Bro u saved me a lot of trouble

[@Scottietalks]

WELL SAID

[@GilFavor101]

Bad advice TB. Basically telling people "stop complaining and do your job slave". Terrible mentality, it's the reason wages haven't gone up in 40 years, yet productivity has almost doubled (all that extra profit going to the owner/investor class instead of working people). Should be pushing to go home MORE often, not less often....

[@smooth305rico]

Real talk
