Hard hustle is the real deal

Every driver, who is considering a lease should watch this video! This guy is a great resource. He’s a great example of a Blue-collar hard-working American man. Pays his bills, agrees to pay what he committed to pay by completing his leases and fulfilling his contracts. And then to share it with all of us whether it’s good bad or ugly. Thank you.

This man has knowledge, wisdom, and compassion for all drivers. “Hurts my heart that we work so hard out here and we getting ripped off”. Truer words have never been spoken.

Blows my mind. Truckers need to unite to create our own employee owned companies. Why are there thousands of us unhappy making someone else rich when we could come together to benefit eachother. We are working backwards out here.

I love this guy. He is the epitome of the hard working blue collar man. THIS is the backbone of our country. He is dishing out diamonds of wisdom. Listen and learn.

Yea I dont think I'll ever get into a lease. It sounds like BS. You take on all the risk for not much more than what a company driver will make. Nah I'm good. I'd rather grind it out, save my dough and buy my own truck.

He is 100% right when i was in school my trainer told me that a year ago . He say stay away from the lease program . Work hard and buy a truck and make your truck get their money. Companies tell you after a year you can lease a truck with them and I feel like they pushed you to join the lease program and of course all they want is $$$. Thank you to The asian mai show 👏🏻👏🏻

A 99 FLD($15k-$20k) will make you as much money as a 2021 389($120,000+) Geez guys, buy a used truck, get it road ready and get your own authority. Oh and the pre emissions engines on them require maintenance and minor repairs, most issues you can get away with a bypass/quick fix til you get to your mechanic. Not like the new engines that leave you powerless over a stupid code.

The KEY and main idea of this video is “ READ and UNDERSTAND” the contract you are signing. Accepting the first truth so you can see the second truth. In any games and work places, watching out for false promise and false hope is also crucial!

It's the truth.. and I've been driving for 24yrs . Fortunately for me I bought a use truck and work my way up to a new truck. Keep it real 💯

You are speaking the Gospel Truth. I wish would have known this back when I was 27 and leased my first and last truck for a carrier that was bought out by Swift. I sacrifice alot chasing that pipe dream wanted to buy the truck after my four year Lease . I was paying these jokers 4k a month in the lease and after I found out I have to drop an additional 60k to buy the truck, I was pissed. My marriage was over with because I stayed out thinking I was going to buy the truck and run local in Houston. But now I'm 38 now been in this game for 15 years now currently as a company driver. I made the decision if I wanted to buy a truck. I will buy it outright or finance Fuck a lease!! Great video!!!

Thank you Mai for giving Hard Hustle a platform you educate us 💪🏾🙏🏾

Thank you both!

IT IS ALWAYS A BAD IDEA TO LEASE A TRUCK FROM THE SAME COMPANY YOU DEPEND ON FOR YOUR REVENUE. End of story.

I love this guy. Salt of the earth. God bless you, driver. Stay safe out there ❤️

Great video!!!!. Old school driver dropping Jewels. Stay safe OG thank you.

Wow yup, that's truth right there. I would love to see an extended interview with hard hustle about what he went through from beginning to where he's at today to kind of help us drivers to get to where he's at that's I think what we all want to do is have our own trucks and do our own thing it'd be great if we could hear his story 👍🚛

Yup...them cameras do easedrop!!! Even your company given tablet for your runshave 2 cameras...😌 this guy is speaking truth

“Hard Hustle “ has a point about personal overhead!!! Leasing game requires research for sure!!!! Really wish there were more platforms out there to understand the different types of leasing!!!! Just another step to take in becoming a true owner operator 😎✌️

Everyone says lease programs are horrible. For MOST they are. Because just like he explains, most guys just jump in without any knowledge. They hear they can make more than a company driver, and are told they can go home whenever they want, and they’re hooked. Don’t read the lease contract. Don’t realize the truck payment still comes out when they go home for an entire week. Don’t realize they’re responsible for EVERYTHING on that truck. Don’t realize the actual costs of normal wear and tear issues like tires which aren’t cheap and you have 10 of them and two of those HAVE to be virgins. These guys just see dollar signs and throw the rest out the window.

Wow, really appreciate this incite. I'm older and a new driver. I literally don't have the time to keep going through the school of hard knocks.

Priceless info!

Man you do the most excellent interviews I've ever seen 🚛🚛

Respect to the brother....beautiful truck and takes pride in his career and business.. god bless

Now this is the realest guy you’ve had on here...

First man on the internet speaking facts

It doesn’t seem to matter who you interview, it always works. You’re a conversation guider and your people skills are good on point. I’m personally taking steps to grow my own fleet after being an o/o for the last 7 years. 2022 is my year. I’d love to be on the show one day. There’s a story behind every real o/o and you do a great job of getting it out of people. Keep doing what you’re doing, Motha Trucker!

Amazing info im glad u put it out there because alot of these lease drivers be thinking they doin something leasing the latest truck thats all they doong

Thanks for the information it’s very helpful.

Thank y’all both ! For the platform and the great advice

I'm enjoying Hard Hustle's story/info, 100%!

Leasing sounds crazy when its contactors for UPS or fed ex that will pay you just as much . Without all the heart ache of leasing.

Real informative as usual, thank you!!

Im have been following of your show for a while already and i just subscribed to it i love man good job bro

Brother Thank You for The Truth. You are a God Sent For New Drivers. Take Care&Godspeed!

THIS IS THE BEST INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE, AND ADVICE I EVER HEARD.. IVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 13 YEARS. THANKS FOR THIS INTERVIEW.. #Mothatrucker #hardhustle

If I can’t get my own truck outright I do plan to lease op. Thank you for the knowledge brother.

And the number 1 reason they lease you a truck is so that they can write off 100% of the truck as a loss to the IRS. This was finally explained to me after 16 years of leasing. Now I own 3 trucks and none by a lease.

Thanks. Great Video. Trucking is a great Job for some people. The money. Well. If there’s ever someone that can get drivers together That will BE a GREAT Start ALL TRUCKERS

Thank you my Brother for this Information I really appreciated this..🙏🏾🙏🏾💯👊🏾👊🏾✊🏾

I've leased for 7 years or so and I've never personally seen numbers like 300 and 66 net. I've always been done well financially and never had to live in a truck. I think it's about where you leased on at.

Hard Hustle hats off Sir!!!!

This is man is fucking right for everything he said

Best advice ever thanks for taking the time to create this video.

Thank you brother. I like this brother. My man. Looking good in those sunglasses.

I've been driving going on 16 years. I purchased my truck cash 6 years aftet being on the road now my truck is parked at home and I'm working for a small 10 truck company on percentage bringing home between $1900 and $2800. Per week and I can take time off as I please when I please.

That is some crazy dedication. Thank you.

VERY GOOD INFORMATION & THANK YOU

Learned experiences is the life. But I always try my best to meet those guys face to face and by book. My respect ✊🏽

Love the Content my Brother! Be safe on these roads

That was real good information and well appreciated thank you both

I'm not a truck driver but I use to work on trucks, this guy is telling you the truth! It's in the business's best interest to lease, and let you have all the headaches and responsibilities if it wasn't beneficial to the company they would not do it, unless they just like losing money.

Alex!!! Living it large in the lease truck...

This is some good, real raw information

I have told so many drivers this info, but they won’t listen. God bless you brother. 🙏🏾

The big problem is people come in not knowing anything about business don’t manage/budget their money and don’t know what it takes to run or repair their truck. Leasing does make the companies money and do rip us off with high interest and payments which is why you need to be smart with your money and stay out of debt. I was an owner op for almost 10 years with my own authority and failed. Went as a company car hauler for 5 years and now leased and doing way better after I’ve learned the hard way. Leasing is a good opportunity just takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I’m almost done and will own this truck.

Thanks, very informative. I've always stayed company and realize they only give you enough time to get to an fro. Making sure they get the money for the mile worth etc. Gets funnier when home on weekends that never seem to be whole 😂.

go tell it on the mountain brother,,,,,,,,,love your honesty, keep speaking the truth,, stay strong

This man speaks all facts! You have to pay attention to the numbers and learn how to maximize your own operation and minimize your expense (overhead)

Good Questions! Awesome answers, ty!

Asian Mai, doing some great interviews yo, keep it up...

Pearls of wisdom. OG kept it 💯

Thank you for the information

Thank you for sharing your experience sir!

Excellent information!

Wow, everything he is saying is 100 percent truth. Please take heed to his message. I had to learn the hard way.

Great interview Alex

Thanks very much for the knowledge

Old School and full of knowledge. If you're considering leasing better listen up. Be safe Hard Hustle.

Thank you. Good job , so Much good information.

I have heard that story a many times..Never told to hit home with paperwork in hand.🤠👍

At least you made it home I have a heater core break one time about 98 miles from home Be safe

Does Hard Hustle have a channel? We need more of that knowledge!!!

Hard hustle must respect brotha 👍🏽... You make a lot of good points, although it does depend what lane your in as well? Flat bedding, car hauling, hazardous.. lease programs pay way different

Hard Hustle, you worked your ass off to get where you are today. If clowns don't want to take advantage of the information you're sharing the fools deserve what they get. I enjoyed your interview.

I always say this, use the lease purchase for a steppingstone. Use them, just like they use you. Get your money, and go purchase your own truck with 20% down.

I knew not to get a lease straight out of trucking school. Thank god I went to community college in truck driving

Great information and great episode!!!

All facts, I've least back in the day with Steven's, Trans AM, and a few companies in my first years of driving and the MOST I ever brought home was $1800.

Thanks, My Man!! I've been driving for UPS roughly going on a year. I have been asking around trying to completely understand how other trucking companies work because we are on a completely different system. Every time I tell someone who I work for their tone changes. I ask for a number of reasons. 1. I shouldn't be working in a field without understanding the ins and outs of the business outside of my bubble. 2. We have had co-workers quit based on these half-truths mentioned by other drivers.

I’m not a trucker but he kept me interested about this industry. Thank you 🙏🏾 !

He's spot on! I did lease maintenance at WTI and Lease Purchase. I made way more money under the lease maintenance program than I did for the lease purchase. Found a gig with a guy out of Mississippi. I was grossing in between $8k-$16k a week. Bringing home about $1,800-$3,000 a week. Then I was able to buy my first truck. I didn't make that kind of money in the lease truck. But like bro said, your gross be so high, so others it'll seem like you're making a lot of money. You are grossing and buying your company new trucks and equipment. But you're only bringing home anywhere between $35k-$65k a year.

Great info

This is the real . I wish I seen this before I got stuck . Hard hustle spiting facts .

07:00 every time I did the math looking at leases this was the absolute truth, never made sense to me to lease with big risks (truck breakdown / tires), then just be a company driver.

Leasing is for those who can not afford a loan, have a bad credit score, or want to do trucking in short term. It is a business and as a business, they have to make money. Everyone has to start from somewhere

And you are keeping it real my brotha

Thank you for the information I want to do a lease so I can move closer to being an owner operator but now I don’t know I’m tired of being a company driver already I get paid sh** for mileage I feel like I’m stuck as company driver.

I have had several drivers come to me with their new lease’s I sit read all through it tell them to get out of it now. Pay for truck two times over then buy out at the end of lease. Why they didn’t ask before hand gets me. Have a lot do ask ahead of doing it and they are glad they did.
