Hey great video..👍👌 I worked at the ports for about 2 years as a company driver and just recently I became a owner operator it’s now been a month out in the road.. I want to get back to the ports and stay local what company are you driver for? Or do you use like a load board? Or if you don’t mind me asking how do you get your loads/jobs?

What are your margins in this business Ryda? Meaning, after expenses and everything, how much liquid can someone make average working I guess 60 hrs/ week?
@lifewithryda Жыл бұрын
If you have your own own truck you should be able to make $500-$1000 working 5-6 days a week when trucking is good. Then you spend $200-$300 on fuel depending on how busy you are.

Keep posting these videos , Government will continue to reduce rates and you will keep selling false hopes and dreams , I have 1 truck now , and 1 van Trailer and 1 chassis, and I don’t make more than $2000 clean weekly. Doing regional.
