what I would have done differently in trucking

[@chriswiggins396]

I started trucking with maverick back in 2013. I did really good with this company. I am now a owner operator and been one for 5 years now

[@talhahshahid9191]

Mad respect to the increased quality in your videos fam

[@mreforlife2013]

thank you tb! you helped me find a career and gave great advice throughout your videos.

[@dans6234]

Yo what up again! Met you at Mill City, NV a few months ago! I’ve been doing 250 a week and just hit my 1 yr. it’s crazy to think my job before this it would of token me 5 yr to save that. I’m thankful for Yours and all the KZbin videos out there cause that money will give me options in the future. Thank you!

[@gilbertaviles2102]

Almost word for word my exact thoughts on what I’ve would of done. Great video bro!

[@leonmonette8184]

I’m definitely going to put that saving plan into play I’m a year into the game so far and I’m definitely in a better place than what I was before my cdl but now it’s time for a new plan thank you

[@nickchoate8786]

I didn't know you could start out Local/Regional without having to do OTR first. If you don't have a CDL Class A, how do you find a local/regional job that will help you obtain it like OTR?

[@tyr4083]

My first year in trucking I paid over 1200 a wk at tmc. Percentage pay no cpm

[@diopardo9715]

Just got a great idea from watching this video Thanks

[@toiyuan4te]

Dope info,,,thanks for sharing

[@BigDogPlate]

Start off with a regional company? I need some info on that anyone let me know

[@MrRossharrell]

Yeah i just started and my paychecks are low, but im saving and investing 90% consistently

[@polohall52]

Keep the wheels moving and paychecks will have no choice but to go up!!. Accept most of loads

[@whitealligator8915]

This is not a diss because I learned soooo much from your channel and I love riding & listening to your channel but how come your 26 year experience driving father, uncles and other driving family didn’t teach you any ropes of good advice before you came into trucking?

[@DionDriven1]

Thank you for all your insight 🙏...I'm not a truck driver yet, I keep flirting with this idea...I keep getting my Class A driver's permit, then I drive with my family members for a while and then go back to my regular job! (Car salesman making over 80K a year...but have plateaud) But then I see your videos and your great advise and wisdom keeps teasing me broh!!! I could buy a truck from the get go, but I want to be a driver for a company so that I can learn all the intricacies that makes a truck driver a good truck driver! And I also want to learn about cost and ROI before I jump into that with my own cash flow. Keep sharing your thoughts and yourself with all of us we appreciate it!

[@michaelchristopher1989]

If your making 80k you would be making a mistake getting into trucking. Unless it's just something you want to do.

[@DionDriven1]

@@michaelchristopher1989 Thanks buddy, I will keep that in mind.

[@18rchanel]

Off topic: I'm tryna get into trucking, but I'm leery that they"ll start to require this "corona" vaccine when updating your DOT medical. I specifically avoided healthcare for that reason. I would hate to have done this for nothing lol..because if they do that"ll be the end of this trucker 😂 What's your thoughts ?

[@joseramon5786]

That's a good point. I hope that it doesn't come to that but if so then I'm done

[@mrburgess6777]

No matter what you do or where you go, A (PLAN) before starting is always the best thing to do. Research, take notes, organise, keep an ongoing planner/ notebook to keep your main master plan fresh. Make your plans (FLEXIBLE)..Life is always changing.... Ok, I'm off my soap box people.. Blessings an Success go with you friends..

[@sirvilhelmofyonderland]

Some drivers lost their wives, children relationships, friends etc. because of trucking, sad.

[@bricklayerlzdp9825]

In trucking you either share the love with trucking or it will take it all.

[@sirvilhelmofyonderland]

I lost EVERYTHING before I got into a truck. I don’t recruit, ever. If you have a family you love, get a normal job.

[@yasirmohame]

Next video what side business u could do ?

[@biggkoop102]

Yo intro 🔥

[@itchyFeeN23]

Share the love and I’ll make more vids I hope I can get some support from us drivers stay safe 🙏🏽

PLEASE ANSWER THIS WERE YOU AT THE DOUBLE TREE HILTON HOTEL NEXT TO ONTARIOO AIRPORT IN CALIFORNIA

[@seove1]

That calculation is suspect but the point is well made . 😳

[@zvezdangluhic5488]

I figured out almost every company you go with, has something that another company doesn’t. There’s a lot of companies like swift and cr England that offer decent pay, but their cdl program doesn’t not offer Manual transmission. So you’ll have that restriction. Crst offers everything and fast program, but lower pay then swift and cr England. So there’s ups and downs in each company. But you will never find a company that will fulfill all of your requirements. As least not as a new driver..

[@dans6234]

Not true

[@devoywilliams3956]

So the goal of trucking is to save a lot of money then what. How are you gonna sustain the income?

[@Meatloaf216]

Devoy Williams invest your money wisely lbvs

[@devoywilliams3956]

Elijah Aikens what kind of investments will yield 70-100k a year?

[@zvezdangluhic5488]

No company right now is ganna give you 40c a mile as a new driver and only a 10 month contract. I spoke to prime they giving 42 c a mile with 2 year contract

[@kfg7733]

Crete will give you 50cpm with 6months exp. Swift starts at 40-45cpm otr

[@yeb7997]

Ignorance is a bliss. Do your research before you go telling folks that there's no such companies. Raven transportation started me with 44cpm right from school and 2 cents extra if you ran 2400m on top of all miles. No contract btw!

[@ktmeric1985]

that is not true

[@berniesands6201]

You might not have stayed in Trucking if u wasn't in survival mode.

[@AO-pn2uo]

Damn, so I can go regional as a fresh CDL class A holder?

[@GrindModeJay]

A O yes, you can as long as the company you choose has regional accounts available and there’s no long waiting list. Get w/ a company that has a lot of accts such as Crete they have all types of accts

TB you been in the game like 7 or 8 years do you think you will make close to what you're making now when you walk away from it. Hard pill to swallow! Are you burnt out from OTR?

[@sincitycapital]

Why would you want to get out of the game after 3 years and 30 thousand dollars? Wtf would you after? TB is one of those people who are deep thinkers but have a small brain capacity.
