Wife and I have been OTR O/O for about 9 years now. We are interested in MAYBE doing expedite someday. The idea of being free of trailers is very appealing, plus the fancier, better equipped sleeper (we would only take a truck with a shower and turlet) . I do have a couple questions after watching this. One, why did one of your trucks have a lower weight ability than another? Second, why is the oil a special oil vs basic diesel truck oil?

@jayb1911 2 месяца назад

those are EXCELLENT questions

@daven7971 Год назад

Congratulations guys! So happy to hear you nailed your first month as owner/ operators. We wish you both continued success and happiness.

@TruckandTravel Год назад

Its like the best of both worlds. The space of a semi but the size of a box truck. You aint gotta worry about small roads

@TabsStudio18 Год назад

I’m watching every video to learn more, I’m even more excited about becoming an owner operator doing expediting on my own. Now I just have to save up so I can get me a truck

@TruckandTravel Год назад

You can do it! We started in expediting driving for a fleet owner, so we learned on someone else's dime to make sure it was a good fit for us.... You only fail in life when you don't try. A good source of info for expediting is thecrafty truckers on RU-vid.

@danielbevier5813 Год назад

Glad to hear that you guys did so very well in your first month with your own authority!!! You should easily be able to order that oil through Amazon and have it delivered to your home or an Amazon locker like when you were in New Mixico waiting a week for your next load. Easy peezy. Personally, I would go with AMSOIL, but everyone has their own personal preferences. I have been using it exclusively since 1980. Best of luck to both of you!!!!

Our favorite way to teuck

@knuckles4804 Год назад

$38 k gross , how about the net , after : fuel , repairs , insurance... For example my dump truck grossed $120 k a year but my net was $70 , from that I took a salary and reinvested the rest. I did see you answered someone that you each paid yourselves $7k , so $38 - $14 = $24 , does that mean your expenses ( fuel...) we're $24 k ? Thanks

@TruckandTravel Год назад

so we pay us and we pay the business so it has money to run itself. Our line of work isn't one I would grow right now. I think a lot of things will hit the fan. This was our best month ever, doing this for around 3 and a half years. It would probably be better to drive for a fleet owner then to buy your own truck. ours used was 27,500 used with a bit of money put into it. New one would go for $350-375. Fuel prices are rising and now the rates are going back to pre covid era.

@knuckles4804 Год назад

I hear ya @@TruckandTravel , the only reason I'm thinking about an expedite truck is that I'm semi retired and think the truck will make an excellent RV / toy hauler ,put a UTV in the back , live in the front. Take loads when I feel like it , rest and relax when I don't , work truck when I want it RV when I want that.

@TruckandTravel Год назад

I would drive for someone first that own these trucks and see if you think it would be a fit for you. A try before you buy.

I've seen a couple in their early 70's at FedEx Custom Critical doing D.O.D. loads. They was about to retire. For these trucks you need a minimum of CDL B. We both got our CDL A just in case. If the truck is owned by a fleet owner it is more than likely an automatic. Freightliner M2's will have a 6 or 10 speed automatic. Freightliner Cascadia will have a 12 speed automatic.
