The confidence a father gives his son cannot be overstated. Great story, I hope you keep climbing in all things you do.

As a twenty-year trucking veteran, and 2.5 million miles, I’ll say it right here——trucking is a cut-throat business. You’re chances of being lied to if you start a trucking company is nearly 100%. Shippers and trucking companies will tell you a million lies to get you through the door, but then once you start hauling for them, the reality is uncovered. Expect to make 70% as much as they told you you’d make. Also, expect to work 10 more hours per week than they promised. Too much government control and regulations. To make good money, you will need 3–4 trucks running. If you can’t afford this, the only other answer is to buy your own truck and go out on the road. Consider trucking to be like a college education. There are no books that will tell you how to do it, and other owner operators are hesitant to help you since you will be their competition. If you're looking into starting your own trucking company this 2023 then I will recommend you look into getting a Governmental business grant. I was approved and awarded $280k as startup capital. Today as a company owner, independent owner operator running under my own authority, 11 years running under my own authority. I do a 15 -16 day run. $25, 000 in line haul is my goal. Every month is a 10+ day vacation. I run a reefer and only spend $16, 000 to $21, 000 a year in maintenance. After taxes, fuel and licensing I profit $190, 000 in the bank. There is no short cut to success. Get your own authority and work open broker boards for trips. You will never see the big money off this industry as a COMPANY SLAVE. I wish everyone reading this comment a successful business week.

Young man, keep doing what you do and the only one can limit you is….. YOU! 27 years in this game and I’m learning from you! I wish YouTube would have been around when I started, SO MUCH knowledge available at our fingertips! Keep the wheels rollin and the shiny side up!

[jemielallen]

Young man I don’t subscribe to many channels but I’m so impressed with you and your approach to living successfully. I’m 49 yrs old and 5 months in the game but will definitely humble myself and take your advice on how to get paid. Stay blessed nephew

U know it's crazy listening to this man's story about him and his father, where my pops told me get my cdl, and we would drive together, and I could learn from him. The sad part was I did get my cdl, but my father never did any of what he said... Some people only make it because of the love and nurturement of their parents

I write insurance and most people cannot, cannot afford the insurance. I repeat most people cannot afford the insurance. I get young people from 21 and up who purchase tractors and can’t afford the insurance. You cannot get on the road or haul for any company like Amazon, XPO etc. without all the required insurance policies. And they are a minimum of 3 that you need. Getting a tractor is the easy part. Trucking is a serious business and not to get into likely. Many have to get loans just to pay the insurance for the year which can cost any where from $20, 000 to $40, 000 total depending on the coverages and the number of units that you have. You have to know what you are doing before you get a tractor ( truck).

It's always good to have the CEO of the company you're driving for as your mentor

I work at Diamond Truck Sales in SC. We approve people with 400 credit scores all the time. I watch these videos to learn more about the struggles truckers go through when going throuhh the process of buying a semi.

your "Pop"can be proud, Im 68 years old and you give me hope on so many levels i cant even express, God Bless you young and God Bless America there is hope and light, and you are a light.

He said the name of the Truck Sales Company folks, but since this video it’s no longer $5000 down———> “New 2023 models are $10, 000 down and $835 per week. Used units are $7, 500 down and $750 per week.” Is that a decent deal?

[humbledriver]

Ken, your success story is like a J.K. Rowling novel, but not fiction. Each chapter is original yet informative. The plot lines are plentiful yet always expanding. Once this book wraps up... K.V. on to the next story. I know your Pops is proud. I love your energy, excitement, and humility. Keep up the great job young man.

Thank you!!! You’re a blessing and it’s no coincidence that you’re video came up. I was telling my husband today we’re moving to Salt Lake City, Utah. Divine interruptions is what we learned about at church last week.

I just requested this video a week ago. Appreciate it brother, I’ll be waiting!!!

[Maximus]

I am glad I came up on this video, I have a CDL and did a little bit of cross country driving with Prime Inc, 3 attempts and all was a disaster. I got into the repair side in 2017 and now I am sick of turning wrenches and so I am looking to go into driving/freight moving by being an owner operator, I started researching and found ur video and you provided some good insights, Thank you.
