Glad someone already said it. Yeah big difference between lease and own…if she owned one she’d prolly own an older truck that costs way more for maintenance
@@omararchivaldo3632same. Day driving is way more taxing on you than otr. I did otr for years and was a lot more rested, could stop when I wanted. Now it’s go go go. And MUCH longer hours.
Ma'am I make $140,000 as a company driver in the oilfield running hazmat. Hell, I know sand haulers that $100,000 as a company driver. Fuel Haulers make that as company driver and go home every day. The math ain't mathing, you could've bought you as a used truck for $25,000 that you own and made way more money. 144,000 as lease driver is trash. Minimum as a owner operator is $200,000 - $300000. With low overhead and you keep all kindz of money. Don't ever lease a truck. Save up money and buy your shyt outright
Why do people have to try to outdo others. Like really childish, grow up. She is informing not bragging. Oilfield dude? Of course you make more and you should. You don't have to be an ass about the fact it's easier for you to blow up and die. You also have endorsements to make more money
I’m a local owner operator and last year I made 270k- about 50k in fuel and 10k in maintenance. Netted 200k after all expenses. You gotta know how and where.
Facts bro, I was a driver working for a trucking company and I was making $3,750-4,500 a week . Had a company credit card for fuel & food and everytime I arrived early I was given $200 for a hotel but I could keep it & sleep in the truck 😂 I made an extra $12k a year just sleeping 🛌 .. plus $100 tip every time I arrived and left a job.
@@drozycoder2007 why is that cap lol my brother is making just around this amount weekly and he has his own truck. Not at all judging a book by its cover but do half of y’all talking on this subject even work in the trucking industry? Lol
some leases offer truck maintenance with your payment. Tour truck can break mid highway and next day they will give u new one. Not sure what plan she got though. Too little information
I’m a female truck driver. I made 84k last year and paid $0.00 fuel, maintenance, lease payment, permits and insurance. Oh, and I slept at home every night.
Yeah, you can be a local company driver and make that. There are ways to make over $100k trucking, hotshot for example. Or you could drive heavy haul or specialty loads. Any driving position making that kind of money is long hours on the road but working hard isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
50k went to truck payments, that's why her profit looks off. Once she finishes paying for the truck, she'll be great. One thing a lot of people forget is that she makes her own schedule also!!
She has the same responsibility as an owner operator. I leased, paid off, now own the truck. Not any difference. The stress is the same. When the truck breaks down, nobody else is gonna pay to fix it.
Gross pay is what you made that counts after taxes is what you take home if gross didn’t matter you would have much less money at the end of the year depending on your bracket…
I'm a male truck driver, and i bring home $1900 a week. After -fed tax -state tax -Social security tax -Medicare tax -401 k -health insurance $1150 a week.
The bank owns the truck. 80 hours a week for $70,000/ year ? I couldn’t do it. Glad we have hard workers like her or else this country would be at a stand still.
I am a otr trucker, by law you are not legally able to work 80 hours a week, it's 70 and then you have to do a 34 hour reset, sure 70 hours for 70k I'd still crap, but if your going to talk about a otr truckers life, get the facts right, dot rules and regulations are what truckers follow, if you want to be a trucker for a long time.
I made $75,000 driving a company truck doing local work. I don’t have to buy, maintain or fix anything. If you’re making $150,000 clear after expenses then it’s worth the trouble. Otherwise forget it!
Guarantee this is a lie. There's absolutely no way she was only spending $400 a week on diesel, especially last year. You'd go through $400 a day on diesel.
@ 4 $ per gallon she only use 5000 gallons. @ a average of 2400 miles a week she could only run for 12.5 weeks. Her numbers definitely don’t add up smh.
That's way over minimum wage. Even in California with their dumbass 20 a hour minimum wage, you aren't making 71k. If she's working 40 hours, she's making 34 a hour. Even if she's working 65 hours, she's still making just under 23 a hour. There's a lot of states that have minimum wage way lower than California's too. In Louisiana it's 7.25 and there's 12 or 13 other states with the same.
After a horrendous 2022, shell-stunned financial backers have misfortunes to recover and a lot to consider, as an expansion report and a pile of different information did close to nothing to change assumptions that the Central bank would probably keep climbing intrest rates regardless of whether the economy dials back, And that implies more red ink for portfolios for the principal quarter of year 2023. How might I benefit from the ongoing unstable market, I'm currently at a junction choosing if to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio.
Center around two key targets. In the first place, remain safeguarded by realizing when to offer stocks to cut misfortunes and catch benefits. Second, get ready to benefit when the market turns around.I suggest you look for the direction a representative or monetary consultant.
She ain’t making $144k now. She makes that during Covid but when the market crashes and goes back to. Or mail, that “I’m a female driver” comes back to reality earning what truckers usually make lol
The best way to make money being an owner opp is to buy your truck straight cash. I made $200,000 my first year and profited $120,000 after ALL expenses.
A lease payment on a truck does not mean you own the truck sorry I don’t wanna hurt your feelings or cyber bully you but leasing and owning are two different things
I don’t know if she’s lying but you could make more without owning/leasing your truck and it will be less stressful too. I made 78k last year after taxes but could have made more if I had and endorsement like Twic or hazmat. My husband is local company driver and gets 80k a year after taxes.
70k is a realistic number but it's also possible to have a really bad year leasing. What if you get sick and have to still make that lease payment? Or an accident, rising fuel prices etc. It's a gamble on how much you will earn.
I make roughly 2300-2500 per week hauling fuel locally. I don't worry about expenses or maintenance. When I was an owner operator I was clearing 189-200k After all expenses. Unfortunately she's getting ripped off, but she looks happy I guess.
She did not add tires, depreciation,break downs,insurance and many other miscellaneous. Her 71k net is now reduced to under fifìty thousand a year. What a deal not to mention she works about 70 hours a week. Break it all down it looks to me like around $16 pr hr with no overtime. Where do I sign up?
I'm a W-2 fuel hauler and i made 97k last year and started in March this year should be in the 120-130k range. I don't have to worry about maintenance, truck payment, or fuel
People saying she isn’t making six figures are slow we all have expenses just because a portion of our salary a year goes to those expenses doesn’t mean we didn’t make that money…
if you get a bad truck like i did, i made $145,000 and took home $29,000 , over $100,000 went into my truck for repairs . i made less than a buger king worker having my own truck
@michaelc9128 reparations has nothing to do with this. I agree she is wrong with how she started the statement. But you know NOTHING!! ABOUT BLACK HISTORY. Don't ever speak on what you are MISINFORMED about. Europeans, USA, east, west, will pay for the CRIMEA AGAINST HUMANITY THEY COMMITTED ON BLACK PEOPLE all over the world and are still doing in in the form of modern slavery by France and USA. You know nothing about black people.
Everyone also needs to understand that truck she owns is brand new and probably $150k so once she pays it off she won’t have that payment anymore. And she probably is paying more on it so it gets paid off faster. Once she doesn’t have a truck payment she’s gonna be rolling in cash.
I bought home 94k get off at 3p and weekend off. Taxes took out benefits 1750 1800 week net. I had my own truck trailer authority in 2003 it didn’t work for me. Keep trucking 😎
@buyck50 I don't drive, but I work at a trucking company. Every otr driver we have makes more than her without having to worry about anything that comes with owner operating
The math ain't mathing.. Firstly most people seem to skip the fact that you are leasing which by no terms means that you "own" the truck therefore making you a lease operator NOT owner opp. Secondly the title of your video is kinda misleading but we can get over it. It should be "how I grossed 100k as a truck driver" however hats down to you. Running a 70hr clock, putting in the work, literally keeping your country moving (people tend to be assholes to truckers not knowing that if they went on strike they would literally be holding the country by the balls as truckers keep the building material, clothing, FOOD and all other things on the move), you got your own business grind and you making 70k+ which is more than the average yearly... So you go trucker, my hat's off to you.. Keep on keeping on
You acting like all business owners start off loaded with cash. She’s getting there. Next thing you know she has people working for her and raking in over a million a year. That’s how my friend’s dad did it with his.
@@deathbyvanity1955yes that’s bad. She is pretty much a company driver that’s responsible for all the maintenance and break downs. The point is, she is throwing away money on a lease payment while building no equity in a truck that she will never own.
Everyone else is worrying about her take home pay..i would like an explanation about her fuel cost of $19336 that truck must be a hybrid or fully electric lol
This isn't true, but if it was it wouldn't matter because the end goal for her is to pay off her truck and then get a loan for a second one to hire a driver for. It's the difference between being a wage slave (every commenter in here trying to make jokes) and an actual boss.
Can we just fucking acknowledge that mabye she doesn’t care if she’s home, 70 k and up is plenty of money to be happy, and it’s not like she plans on doing it forever if she has a lease.
She makes $71,000, not nearly six figures. As a business what you make is income minus expenses minus taxes. It’s much different than a W-2 employee where what you make is income before taxes.
Until they fire you. Walmart hiring truck drivers for approximately over six figures however they doing it for a limited time and they're not keeping that two ways forever. You can take the risk of secured job with possible termination or build your own business.
We forgot all about those permits, insurance, taxes, medical insurance, and she might own it but it’s leased out. Hey, if she feels good about it, she wins 🎉
I don’t understand how her maintenance is so low either maybe it’s covered in her lease agreement and that was just miscellaneous stuff that wasn’t covered cause oil changes for the year would be more than that
She won't get taxed on $144,000 or $71,000. She'll probably only get taxed on $30,000 or $40,000 because of other tax write offs she's eligible for as a business owner (people that get W-2s pay the highest taxes).
You DO realize the country actually NEEDS truck drivers like her or it'd be at a standstill? The McDonalds manager wouldn't have a job if she didn't truck the food to the McDonald's. 🤡
@@TomikaKelly when did I say they weren’t needed? I’m just pointing out a simple observation. Clearly your feeble comprehension and mind is too worried about being an internet hero instead of understanding that the work to compensation ratio is fucked for truck drivers
For clarity because there is always negativity in the comment section. She made 144,208 dollars she profit 71 do to her overhead of OWNING her OWN TRUCK that's hers not someone else once her truck is paid off she will profit the whole six figures.
I’m a W-2 worker that makes $106,000 … but my company also put in $2,500 a month into my pension. Pay $2,400 a month for a family health insurance premium (I pay 15% company pay 85%). I get 15 days paid of for a value of $50 an hr X 120 hrs = $6,000. So I actually make $170,800.
I work as line haul and home every night. Not my fuel not my maintenance and I make 93,000 a year not including the bonus every year. Say NO to owner operator hahaha
As a truck driver myself 144k a year as a lease purchase operator is not impressive at all, maybe if she was bringing In over 200k before paying expenses out, you can make over 100k as a company guy, without having to pay expenses, especially if you have a clean driving record and the experience. 75k a year is pretty much h average at best, in 2024.
If you’re not making over 200,000 a year you’re not making no money in that truck, this is coming from a owner operator. You might as well be a company driver.
so she makes like 50k? ..and is never home and has a job with insane danger risk. lease liability, and sitting 24/7. sleeping at truck stops . alone at night as a woman? I'll pass.
No thanks. I gross $94k a year running a trailer repair shop. I work 8:30am-5pm. Weekends off. Sleep in my own bed. Get to raise my daughter and be in her life daily. FYI. $70k a year isn’t six figures 😉
Lol that's not enough for the bs we put up with I quickly learned when I started trucking that I needed 250k plus per year for it to even make sense I'm not even happy unless I push 350 you can literally make 80-100k a year working normal jobs if you are not dumb
@@owenrossi6032 I know I’m a trucker bro. But you don’t make that much starting off. But my point was most normal jobs don’t pay 80-100k per year lol that’s just a blatant lie.
The real money in trucking is as an O/O However, some drivers are more comfortable with being a company driver since there’s less responsibility and overhead.
Fellow truck driver here. It ain’t cheap to run these trucks and she has a cheaper truck. And these fuel cost don’t help. Be thankful to these guys out sacrificing so much to deliver these loads to barely make any money.
