  1. 0:00All right, guys. Settlement breakdown.
  2. 0:03Everybody wants to see the real
  3. 0:05information. I don't blame you at all.
  4. 0:08YouTube has a bunch of people claiming
  5. 0:10they made this and they made that, and
  6. 0:12I'm not going to say that everybody's
  7. 0:14not telling the truth,
  8. 0:16but a lot of times the truth is
  9. 0:17stretched, and it's hard to
  10. 0:19differentiate between
  11. 0:22someone telling the truth and someone
  12. 0:24not, especially when they're not showing
  13. 0:25the settlements. Now, what I can say is
  14. 0:27the people over here at Oakley
  15. 0:29they do show how much they're making and
  16. 0:32might not show you their settlements,
  17. 0:34doesn't mean that they're not making
  18. 0:35that. Everybody over here makes a lot of
  19. 0:37money. So,
  20. 0:39um I can attest to that. So, if you're
  21. 0:41interested in a certain
  22. 0:43uh YouTuber over here
  23. 0:45that's saying they're making that much,
  24. 0:47but you're kind of skeptical and you
  25. 0:48want to go ask another
  26. 0:50Oakley driver that's on YouTube, "Hey,
  27. 0:52is this Does this sound right?" Don't do
  28. 0:54that. I'm telling you, everybody over
  29. 0:56here that's giving you the information,
  30. 0:58that's how much money they're making,
  31. 1:00period. There's no uh there's no
  32. 1:02inflated numbers. There's We just make
  33. 1:04money over here. It's It's that simple.
  34. 1:07And the reason why we share this is
  35. 1:08hoping that we'll spark interest in then
  36. 1:11you guys want to make
  37. 1:13the same amount of money, if not more,
  38. 1:15if you're not making that much where
  39. 1:17you're working at now. It's pretty
  40. 1:19simple.
  41. 1:21And the guy that you choose that you
  42. 1:22feel comfortable with,
  43. 1:24you allow them to get your referral
  44. 1:26bonus. We get a referral bonus. It helps
  45. 1:28us
  46. 1:29keep the lights on, feed our family,
  47. 1:31helps us grow our YouTube channel so
  48. 1:34that can we can reach other people, but
  49. 1:35at the same time we're trying to give
  50. 1:37you guys information and value,
  51. 1:39entertainment, all those things. So,
  52. 1:41just keep that in mind when uh you hear
  53. 1:43these numbers, especially guys over here
  54. 1:45at Oakley, um they're dead on. They're
  55. 1:48dead spot on. So, you know, I I can't
  56. 1:51speak for other people
  57. 1:53uh working for other companies. I I
  58. 1:55can't do that. So, um let me fix this
  59. 1:58camera real quick.
  60. 2:01Oh, come on now.
  61. 2:04See if I can make that. There we go, a
  62. 2:06little bit better.
  63. 2:08Let's break this
  64. 2:12down.
  65. 2:14All right, guys. Let's break it down.
  66. 2:16These are the settlement sheets. I got
  67. 2:18paid five times in the month of May. The
  68. 2:22information on the top up here,
  69. 2:25all right, that's all going to pretty
  70. 2:26much stay the same. The only thing
  71. 2:28that's going to change is this run date.
  72. 2:30Now, it's showing a run date of April
  73. 2:3230th. That was when they ran payroll.
  74. 2:35However,
  75. 2:36it didn't hit my bank until May 1st. So,
  76. 2:40that's income for May, no matter how you
  77. 2:42look at it.
  78. 2:44Tractor number 11657,
  79. 2:47DG Lauren Transport, that's my business.
  80. 2:51This is my pay code,
  81. 2:53and this is the terminal that I run out
  82. 2:55of.
  83. 2:57I had two loads on this on this this pay
  84. 3:00period.
  85. 3:02I went from Portsmouth, Rhode Island to
  86. 3:04Neville Island in Pennsylvania. I
  87. 3:07deadheaded 558
  88. 3:10miles. I got 20 cents
  89. 3:13for mileage surcharge. I got a base pay
  90. 3:16of a dollar 17.
  91. 3:18I got 66 cents for fuel surcharge, and I
  92. 3:22got 25 cents for CSA pay. All those
  93. 3:25applied to the 558
  94. 3:28deadhead miles or empty miles, however
  95. 3:30you want to look at it. When I got to
  96. 3:32Neville Island, I picked up and I I went
  97. 3:34to Fairfield, Alabama. I was loaded 756
  98. 3:39miles, empty on this side, loaded on
  99. 3:41this side.
  100. 3:43756 miles, I got paid the base pay of a
  101. 3:46dollar 62. I got 25 cents for my CSA
  102. 3:50pay. I got fuel surcharge pay of 66
  103. 3:53cents. Yes, we get fuel surcharge on
  104. 3:56empty
  105. 3:58and loaded miles.
  106. 3:59You burn fuel when you're empty, right?
  107. 4:01You burn fuel when you're loaded, of
  108. 4:03course. So, they're going to pay you
  109. 4:06fuel for empty and loaded. I also got
  110. 4:09the mileage surcharge. Now, one thing to
  111. 4:11note, they've actually changed the pay
  112. 4:13structure.
  113. 4:15So, later on you're going to see
  114. 4:17this number right here, the 117
  115. 4:20and the 20 cents are combined. This was
  116. 4:23temporary. They've made this now
  117. 4:25permanent. So, they've taken this 20
  118. 4:28cents and they've dropped it into the
  119. 4:30the base pay. So, now you're going to
  120. 4:32see a dollar 37 base pay for empty along
  121. 4:36with the fuel surcharge and the CSA pay.
  122. 4:39That goes the same for loaded. That this
  123. 4:4120 cents mileage surcharge right here,
  124. 4:45they're going to take that and they're
  125. 4:46going to drop this in
  126. 4:48to the 162,
  127. 4:50which is going to make it $1.82
  128. 4:54base pay along with the CSA and the fuel
  129. 4:57surcharge. So, if you see this number
  130. 4:59change on the on the these next
  131. 5:02settlements coming up, I don't know when
  132. 5:03they change it. Could but this could
  133. 5:05have been like a week before or 2 weeks
  134. 5:06before and you see that change and
  135. 5:08you're like, "Hey, well, it was 162 on
  136. 5:11this one. Now it's 182." I'm letting you
  137. 5:13know ahead of time so now you know.
  138. 5:16All right. So, for that load,
  139. 5:18I got 33
  140. 5:2134 3,334.
  141. 5:23We ain't even going to do the cents
  142. 5:24right now.
  143. 5:26Uh 3,334
  144. 5:28dollars for that load gross.
  145. 5:31All right. The next load, when I dropped
  146. 5:32off in Fairfield, I deadheaded from
  147. 5:34Fairfield to Livingston, Alabama. 105
  148. 5:38miles. I got all those, the CSA, the
  149. 5:41mileage surcharge, the uh the regular
  150. 5:44base pay, and the fuel surcharge.
  151. 5:48Uh
  152. 5:48when I got to Livingston, I I picked up
  153. 5:50there and I went to Little Rock. I
  154. 5:52dropped that in Little Rock.
  155. 5:53That was 379 mi. That total
  156. 5:58gross for that trip
  157. 6:00was $1,273.
  158. 6:04Now, you're going to see this right
  159. 6:05here. This is recruiting uh cards. This
  160. 6:08is for referring you guys over to um
  161. 6:11Oakley.
  162. 6:12Qualified people.
  163. 6:15Um so, this 600 right here, don't worry.
  164. 6:17I will take this out because what I want
  165. 6:20to do
  166. 6:21for you guys is to show you numbers just
  167. 6:25in trucking. I don't need to start
  168. 6:27showing you um other income that I'm
  169. 6:30getting and then add that in there and
  170. 6:32tell you that I made this
  171. 6:35this week or made this for this month
  172. 6:38because that would be jaded numbers.
  173. 6:40Those numbers wouldn't be really
  174. 6:42accurate. We don't want no
  175. 6:44misconception. We don't want no
  176. 6:45misunderstandings. I'm trying to keep it
  177. 6:47as transparent as possible.
  178. 6:50So, we'll take this out later. Trust me,
  179. 6:52I'll take it out.
  180. 6:53And so, the gross earnings
  181. 6:55off of two trips was $5,208.
  182. 7:00Um this is my fuel. These are
  183. 7:02deductions. These are going to come out
  184. 7:04of my uh These are These are uh expenses
  185. 7:07for me. So, I fueled up here, $996.
  186. 7:11That That's how much it cost me to fuel
  187. 7:13there. I also fueled over here in
  188. 7:14Morrilton and that was $429.
  189. 7:18Now, going down here, these are
  190. 7:20settlement deductions as well. This
  191. 7:21comes out every single week. The only
  192. 7:24thing that'll change in the future for
  193. 7:26me
  194. 7:27is this wet kit. All right, they take
  195. 7:30out $225
  196. 7:32for my hydraulics, my wet kit, my PTO,
  197. 7:35whatever you want to call it. And right
  198. 7:37here
  199. 7:39is my balance until that is taken care
  200. 7:42of. Once I get that to zero, then I
  201. 7:45don't have to pay that anymore.
  202. 7:47Um so, the pre-pass device is around six
  203. 7:51bucks.
  204. 7:53Occupational accident insurance, just in
  205. 7:55case I get hurt, is around $44.
  206. 7:58That wet kit, they take 225 out a week
  207. 8:01for that. The physical damage insurance
  208. 8:03for the truck, 29 bucks.
  209. 8:06Base plate fees,
  210. 8:08uh that's going to be for your
  211. 8:09registration at at the at each year,
  212. 8:12they take out $30 per week. So, that way
  213. 8:15when they go to register the truck, they
  214. 8:16have that money
  215. 8:17um there for them.
  216. 8:20Uh the MobileCom is the GeoTab, that's
  217. 8:22your ELD, that's $24 a week. And
  218. 8:25non-trucking liability insurance
  219. 8:28um is $6.
  220. 8:31That everything right here adds up to
  221. 8:34see uh 363. Now, you start taking out
  222. 8:37that 225 once I get that paid off, this
  223. 8:40number's going to drop significantly.
  224. 8:42I'm going to only be paying about a $140
  225. 8:46uh for deductions
  226. 8:48each week. That's all they take out per
  227. 8:50week. The rest is going to be fuel. All
  228. 8:52right? So, uh just so you understand
  229. 8:54what's going on. And then I hit got hit
  230. 8:57with this uh this is the first quarter
  231. 8:58fuel tax, 64.89, which is high, but it's
  232. 9:02high because the first quarter I ran a
  233. 9:05lot out of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas,
  234. 9:09where the fuel is cheaper. And then I'll
  235. 9:11run some states and I'll end up coming
  236. 9:13back
  237. 9:14and um and refueling there again. But,
  238. 9:17unfortunately, $64, sometimes I'll take
  239. 9:21the hit um on the end and to benefit me
  240. 9:24in the front end of it, if that makes
  241. 9:26sense. I don't know. I will have to talk
  242. 9:28IFTA later. So, anyways, uh that IFTA
  243. 9:31tax is 64 bucks, 65, you can say 65
  244. 9:34bucks. And so, my total settlement
  245. 9:37deductions for this uh week or for this
  246. 9:40particular week was $1,854.81.
  247. 9:46All right. So, my total net, what I took
  248. 9:48home, was 3,353
  249. 9:52bucks. I ran a grand total of 663
  250. 9:57empty miles.
  251. 9:58And my total loaded miles was 1,135.
  252. 10:03Not bad. I didn't run that much, and I
  253. 10:06still made 33 53.
  254. 10:09All right. Let's go to the following
  255. 10:10week. This run date 5/7, which means it
  256. 10:14didn't hit my bank until 5/8, but it is
  257. 10:16May.
  258. 10:17All this information up here is the
  259. 10:19same. We're going to run through this a
  260. 10:21little bit quicker. So, I went from
  261. 10:22McAlester to Kremlin, Oklahoma, 217
  262. 10:26empty miles.
  263. 10:28Kremlin, Oklahoma to East Chicago,
  264. 10:30Indiana. That was 821 miles. That load
  265. 10:33paid me 2,000 $791.
  266. 10:37Out of East uh Chicago, Indiana, I went
  267. 10:40to Wisconsin. I ain't even going to try
  268. 10:41to pronounce that.
  269. 10:43That was 119 empty miles. And then, from
  270. 10:46Wisconsin, I went to Henderson,
  271. 10:48Kentucky. That was 404
  272. 10:52loaded miles. That load paid me $1,401.
  273. 10:57Uh once I uh dropped off in Henderson, I
  274. 11:00deadheaded from Henderson to Owensboro.
  275. 11:02That was right down the road. 20 29
  276. 11:05miles empty. And then, I picked up in
  277. 11:08Owensboro and went to Sapulpa. Uh 616
  278. 11:14loaded miles.
  279. 11:15And that load paid me $1,782.
  280. 11:21Uh the next load, after I am in Sapulpa,
  281. 11:23I just ran over to Tulsa, which was 25
  282. 11:25miles.
  283. 11:27Um I picked up in Tulsa, and I took that
  284. 11:29to to Little Rock, 275 loaded miles.
  285. 11:33That paid me $823.
  286. 11:36These are gross numbers. Gross numbers
  287. 11:38cuz we haven't taken out any deductions
  288. 11:40yet. Uh I did have a recruiting uh bonus
  289. 11:43card, I remember. So, we have 600 on the
  290. 11:46last one. We're going to We're going to
  291. 11:48minus that 200
  292. 11:50as well as that 600. So, so far it's a
  293. 11:52total of 800 bucks. My taxable earnings,
  294. 11:56the gross earnings,
  295. 11:58$6,998.71.
  296. 12:01So, pretty much $7,000.
  297. 12:04I had uh load expenses. These also is
  298. 12:07what This is what I got back at 105.
  299. 12:10Um they reimbursed me for that.
  300. 12:12And then uh I got fuel in Perry,
  301. 12:16Oklahoma, uh $728.
  302. 12:19I also got fuel in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
  303. 12:22That was $784.
  304. 12:25And I believe that's it. Mm, I don't
  305. 12:28know what this is, but anyway, it's a it
  306. 12:30is a deduction.
  307. 12:32Now, uh back to um
  308. 12:34all the just the normal stuff we always
  309. 12:36have. Remember last time it was 600 uh
  310. 12:39$363.99.
  311. 12:41Same thing. Doesn't change. The only
  312. 12:43thing, like I said, is going to change
  313. 12:44once I pay off that wet kit up here,
  314. 12:46then
  315. 12:47that'll drop 225 off that 363.
  316. 12:51Um I also fueled in uh looks like
  317. 12:54Eufaula,
  318. 12:55uh $592.
  319. 12:57And then my total uh settlement
  320. 12:59deductions was
  321. 13:00$2,505,
  322. 13:03which left me with a net of $4,599
  323. 13:07or $4,600.

  364. 15:02don't know why they dropped this all on
  365. 15:04the same. It was supposed to be
  366. 15:05separated, but however they do it, they
  367. 15:07do it. I'm okay with it. Um

  370. 15:14from there I went to Coffeeville,
  371. 15:15Kansas. That was 333
  372. 15:18mi. And you see right already off the
  373. 15:21bat these
  374. 15:22I'll go up here so I can show you
  375. 15:24better. So, this is where it changed
  376. 15:26where now instead of 117, I told you
  377. 15:28they're going to take that 20 cents and
  378. 15:30they're going to drop it Excuse me, drop
  379. 15:31it in the mileage pay. [clears throat]
  380. 15:33That base pay is now 137 and along with
  381. 15:36the CSA and the fuel surcharge, which is
  382. 15:3871 cents at this point.
  383. 15:41So, like I said, fuel goes up, fuel
  384. 15:43surcharge goes up. The price of fuel
  385. 15:45goes down, search fuel surcharge goes
  386. 15:47down. Uh so, I had this deadhead up here
  387. 15:50for 6 miles to North Little Rock and
  388. 15:53then I picked up something in North
  389. 15:54Little Rock and took it to Ardmore for
  390. 15:56323 miles. So, that that paid me 912.
  391. 15:59So, my total earnings, net sorry, gross
  392. 16:03$9,510.
  393. 16:05I paid for fuel 798, 758, 704. And then
  394. 16:10I have
  395. 16:11my normal deductions that come out. We
  396. 16:14already went all over that. 6 363.99
  397. 16:17again, doesn't change. I got some toll
  398. 16:21expenses. They do not pay tolls in
  399. 16:23Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Quite all
  400. 16:26right, I still take them. I'd rather
  401. 16:28take the express lane to get to where I
  402. 16:29need to quicker than take just the
  403. 16:31regular highway and get blocked up. So,
  404. 16:34that that they charged me $30 for
  405. 16:37that week. I also got fuel for 721. So,
  406. 16:41anyways, total deductions
  407. 16:44settlement deductions for that week was
  408. 16:46$3,326.
  409. 16:48That left me a net of $6,184.
  410. 16:53That's what I took home.
  411. 16:57All right, grand total

  421. 17:18And that's it.
  422. 17:20I had only one load. Uh my grow also had

  424. 17:26got paid for that one load. I had
