Truck Driver With 38 Years Exp Says He Finally Found A Trucking Company To Retire From 🤯

[@MuthaTrucker]

Problem with feeling content with a company to retire from is you can't rely on the longevity of the company (in these sucky times) and you can't rely on your health to maintain a cdl. Always have a good backup plan!

[@MichaelHoran-rz1md]

Great company. I ran with them for about 10 Years. I don't think that they are going away, been in business for about 75 years.

[@TripleCTrucking]

I'd rather buy a truck now when it's slow, then pay a premium when it peaks back up. It's like buying Christmas stuff after at clearance or summer stuff in the winter and vice versa.

[@joerubalcava11]

It all relevant, you can buy a truck cheap but the rates are at an all time low and no one knows when they will go up. When things were great a lot of people got into trucking , now most of them are going bankrupt. There is a lot more to trucking than just buying a truck and driving.

[@oneslave3318]

Always buy a truck and finance it just before a Great Depression hits. Don't you know what is happening to our country?

[@TripleCTrucking]

@oneslave3318 No one said anything about financing. We thought about buying 2 and fixing them up. There will ALWAYS be freight. The rates may not be as desirable as the times we were spoiled, but the hustle is there. Everyone has different means to an end, and ideation of goals they want to meet. Life is what we make it!

[@timothykeith1367]

I have read of drivers who bought a cheaper older truck that did well on an inspection. Then, they proactively replaced all the known wear points, maybe rebuild the top end of the motor. Then, thereafer do 80 percent of the maintenance themselves. Change oiĺ before the manufacturer requires. Some of these O-O claim their maintenance costs are 60 percent lower than their peers. Direct selling your services is a biggie - avoiding brokers. Drive within a day of home and stick with a proven mechanic for specialized repairs.

[@TripleCTrucking]

@timothykeith1367 Fantastic advice! I'm definitely going to take note of your insight. Thank you! 😎 A couple can dream, can't they?

[@sln9651]

Good call. All the guys that are barely making it with no payments have already failed, they just haven't fully drained their accounts/maxed out their credit yet, or helped pull the rates down quite enough to admit defeat yet. Also, noticed your Good broker note. I love how so many say the contract the only way. Failing to see how big a curse that could be. If you tailor your business to theirs and that business get bought out, closes or big boy moves in and undercuts you and they're screwed literally overnight.

[@jasonrabe1664]

Grossing 3500 a week really is not a whole lot. A standard dry van makes probably five grand a week just running average areas. We would have to see all the deductions and so forth to make out if that's even worth it. Nice truck though. And good pay accessorals as well

@@truckerjoe3008 a driver should be making at least 1 dollar per mile .

An O/O ( truck /reefer ) should be making at least 4 dollar per mile . You as an owner operator must understand the cost of owning your business . Cost of repair of your equipment , replace of equipment insurance , permits , YOUR VALUE !! which is your responsibility, your sacrifice , your experience….. medical insurance , dental , vision . You have to add all those in to it , otherwise you stay as a driver . If you become an owner operator to drive your butt off so you JUST CAN SURVIVE, stay out of it .
