One thing I can say, when I was a young driver back in 2009, I had a few out-of-services, and I also had a few logbook violations. So, I believe when 2011 came, they said, whatever violations you accumulated from the past three years, it will count against you. So, for me, I was young, and I needed a second chance. One thing I hate about second chances in the trucking industry, you will be taken advantage of. So, some of these guys don't know how to drive responsibly. So, you have companies out here that's taking advantage of the situation. Is it right? No. But they take advantage by giving them shitty wages.

A lot of "owner operators" don't know what they don't know. I talked to one o/o who only knew that he got $3k every week. He didn't realize that the truck note and all the insurance came out of that.

[elgordo]

I thank God everyday for the company I work for. I started at a high CPM. It kills me when drivers from other companies talk about what they make. I am shocked from what I hear!? Thanks for a great video and getting the word out!

I have spoken to a couple of companies ex. SWIFT about having a copy of the contract before I sign it for my attorney to review it and they told me no can do, to me that is questionable therefore I will not lease anything from any of them. Once we all refuse to fall for all the rip offs going on nothing will change.

I've come across drivers who have been driving for 10-20 years who make less than me, and I've only been driving for a few years. Drivers stay at these mega carriers for over a decade still making 45cpm. I've taken note that many owner ops have been switching back to being a company driver for the last few years.

The Zero Down Lease New Semi-trucking Agreement of Trucking Companies is a scam for truckers. You read/sign open agreements /semi-truck insurance/new semi-truck low maintenance/ pay low lease monthly and with .40 - 1.90 cpm. You walk off leases all time, with inspection damages/mileages/maintenance need/clean truck negative to last paycheck.

Thank you Ronen! Good looking out because those ads are tricky and without knowing ahead of time it could cost someone the opportunity of ever being an owner operator.

[frederickknapp]

Ronen, thanks again for a great video. I have always said I will be an O/O when I have the cash to buy a truck and trailer straight out and a million in the bank for any unexpected costs. If I had that I would retire.

I worked for 6 years at 22% commission, Most times I made far more then the by the mile driver. Company I worked for had 2 divisions, one by the mile one on commission, I would be home every weekend an still took home 15k a year more then the by the mile guys.
I'll stay on commision, when a load pays 16k and you get 5k for doing it and it takes 4 days....nuts to be by the mile on that load.

The trucking industry is so screwed up. I joined a training school which is swift and should of never had lol, they had all of these Promises and what not on their advertisements and if you stay they pay for your schooling that got me into the program. Fast forward I passed the schooling and started driving the first week they only paid me 575 and therefore after the same amount weeks to come. They advertised .56 a mile but only had me running short runs constantly. I quit shortly after 2 months and of course the schooling fee was not covered due to me not staying for 2 years and I was charged 9K which it did state in the contract.
The trucking industry has to change it’s such a corrupt industry!!!

[Subflower]

I am so glad I looked at this video! I was offered a job that was 26% of load, but it was home daily/weekly. I was thinking about taking it, but I am glad I saw this.

[RebelMontana]

I did work as a company driver that did 63 cpm however it wasn’t W2 but a 1099. I only did it for few months before going to a stable company.

There are a couple of other things that have been going on with these BS companies lately that drivers should steer clear of. NEVER sign anything saying it’s okay for a company to take ANYTHING from your paycheck other than the normal taxes and other legal deductions. If a company requires drivers to put money in some sort of escrow, DON’T do it. If they require a driver to sign something about giving a notice before leaving, DON’T do it. There is no law anywhere in this land that says a notice of departure must be given. Yes, it’s the right thing to do depending on circumstances. And these BS escrow things are everywhere. If you are driving a company truck as an employed company driver, the said company takes responsibility for any damage to equipment. If a driver intentionally destroys company property or tears up a truck, it is to be handled through a court of law and yes, the driver should be legally held responsible. If you agree to letting a company deduct money to be held in escrow, no matter why you end up leaving, you will not see a dime of that money in the end, even if you left the equipment like new and gave proper notice. I fell for it once. Ended up going through the Illinois labor board. It took two years to get a telephone hearing and I was lucky enough to have the proof I needed and was awarded the $1000 sucked out over 20 weeks. I never signed anything giving permission and they STILL deducted $50 a week. When I left, the company refused to give me my 1, 000 back because I left without notice. I had a family emergency and had no choice. I was awarded the $1000 plus 5% per day for damages. The damages totaled more than the initial escrow. Dolche Truckload had to pay me just shy of $2300. If they had told me to sign something, I would’ve told them where to stick it on day one.

Finally some good video . And by the way, I don’t know what is the average … but on this market, I have nobody of my friends who is driving for less than three doors per mile average 😅

[geminiheisserer]

How about a video for new graduates to lead them to good start companies then? Becuase i start my first trucking job next week and the start pay is 42 cents per mile as a company driver.

[philliplinkous]

[Harman-yr]
