But my thing was a lot of those companies require you to have the otr experience.
Yea I know some companies pay you and also give you a chance if you work in their warehouse for years.
Well if your team driving then yeah your not restricted by the clock.. you can run the truck 24/7
Facts… my cousin got the extended sleeper Pete with the kitchen, shower and toilet and he hauls aircraft engines and boats.. he’s on the road crossing the country and back like 3-4 months at a time.. truck paid off.. He knocking down like 200k gross .. I’m assuming because those are specialize loads… They got his number on speed dial so he don’t even have to hit a load board lmaooYou just got your CDL out the cracker jack box a few years ago champ.
I got two trucks out here, while I do other things. You're way out my league. You pumping your pom-poms as if thats the norm. If you thinking you're about to get out here right now and make $250k like its common, then you're sadly mistaken.
And like I said, its not about what you GROSS, but what you take gome. If you're gross don't out pace your expenses, and freight rates now is low now. Then you're basically pulling loads for free..
People just looking at the gross is why the industry f*cked up now.
Yellow shutting down shop is creating the opportunity for the owner operators now to get those loadsThe biggest drawback of trucking is how bad it is for your health and family life. I see it firsthand everyday.
Like people have said, you have to do heavy loads, chemicals or be OTR(over the road aka long distance) constantly to make the real big money. That's as dangerous as you can get and not something to take lightly.
CDL's are great to have as a guaranteed money train to fall back on. But driving is like the dope game: get in and get out as soon as you can!
Add in the fact that Yellow Trucking just abruptly closed last week and now all 30,000 of their drivers are looking for jobs.

You say that to say what? If she team driving then the money is literally split which means off the bat she didn’t make 20k in a week
I’m assuming the person she driving with she is related too
Shut up
Big facts. The time you got to put into making content, especially videos, would conflict with a lot of other time-demanding jobsNone of these people actually give the real numbers, any time a business owner or entrepreneur makes a video talking about ANYTHING, it's pure cap! If you really making $ you don't have time to have a side hustle as a content creator because it sucks so much time to do that. Creating content takes hours away from your real work and if you work for yourself you'd be looking for revenue streams that require the LEAST amount of time and energy to generate income.
