Truck paid for. house paid for.Had it since 2008. One rental property.Bills are 1100 dollars a month.Going to stay single for the next few years until all goals are met..maybe. I love being in a relationship with my goals and growth in all areas of life more than someone else. Good video.

Thanks!and to clarify my comment, this was done not with trucking but before before I start. So the only note I have are electricity and cell phone and I live in the South so things are relatively cheaper. Keep my bills at $600 month and the rental property pays that with money left over still so the $$ from trucking will all be for investments in another business. Good to hear of your goals,you will definitely meet all of them :) Many Blessings to you.

[@1jimmarch]

If you save up three hundred bucks a week in your first two years OTR, you will have 30000 big ones. There are still lots of good used $20,000 trucks the date from just before DPF filters it like the one that killed big red, trucker Brown's old truck. You didn't sign off on a company that gives you at least 80% of the load and you put 10 grand aside as your emergency reserve, and and you go make some big damn money. put aside at least $500 a week until you've built yourself up to the 30 Grand reserve level which is enough money to fix anything that can possibly go wrong.

[@trentc32]

@Young Black Conservative .. My comment was simple and straight forward.I personally found the information shared in this video very useful especially for the younger / newbies stepping off the porch.. Basically if you run the truck and save the $ you can set yourself up for success in a decade. What's hard to understand about that? Where did I say " rich " ? 150 k move differently all over the country. It's not the same $ in San Diego and in Mississippi... Or Maine to Alabama. I'm sure that you know that so if its something else you're wanting to express or share your opinion about by all means do that??

He is not saving anything towards the future and his House, car and credit card bills are so high he is living check to check. If he was smart, he would have gotten a 200K house and saved to buy a 20K car outright if he wanted a new car, but he has to have the best of everything.

Hea, 38yrs old and I kinda miss the road, if you want to make the most of being a single driver, carry a bicycle on the truck. Learn to strap it to the back correctly or take the tires off and keep it on the passenger side. Then request home time in the areas that look fun. Take an uber to where you want to ride and have fun. Good hiking boots too, take advantage of your mobility, don't just rot inside the truck. I saw northern cali alot for this reason. But I was flatbed, which is the better. Oh side show attractions, read or watch American gods and go to the house on the rock

[@kalillloyd1591]

why do you say flatbed s better

[@silinusvers]

@@kalillloyd1591 there's more physical labor but less bullshit, you rarely wait in line compared to van drivers, i always thought the physical labor of securing the load was nice to get blood pumping before the drive. Flatbed handles better in high winds, and if you get a little camping stove a pan, a chair and good headphones, your trailer becomes a great place chill

At 28 years old and after 10 years in road construction, I'm looking to make a career change to OTR trucking. Hopefully I will be at Prime Inc soon.

Nope" nothing's wrong with you. You've just let life play you before you figured it out. I'm a mother and have dealt with some shit. But I'm at the point were I'm wanting to do trucking instead let him play house since he ask for it. I'm not happy. This man is stating truths. But this also happens to women that aren't ready or sure of what they want. Men can hold back women just as a women could a man. As far as a man handing his paycheck to me not never! In life there are always sucky parts but once you get the bullshit out of the way and realize you never had anything so why keep thinking as though one day you will. Nope you won't why because someone manipulated you. Then when you say enough is enough and you see that cat for what it is...theres no turning back.
