114. 5:18cuz I dead ass do not feel like doing
115. 5:20anything.
116. 5:24But we got to get this money on.

121. 5:52The destination is on your right.
122. 5:56All
123. 6:08right, guys. Um,
124. 6:10this place is not going to be fun to
125. 6:12back into, be honest with you guys.
126. 6:16They said door 16 is off the street. So,
127. 6:20like right now, I'm just thinking about
128. 6:22how the hell I'm going to back my
129. 6:24trailer into here.
130. 6:32All right.
131. 6:48This going to be a struggle, boy.
132. 6:53This is going to be a struggle.
133. 6:57So best bet
134. 6:59is to go all the way around the block
135. 7:01and come back around. So I don't got to
136. 7:03do a blind side back.
137. 7:10All right, guys. So we're going to do
138. 7:12the weekly settlement review. Um this
139. 7:15was for uh the week of let me see the
140. 7:19week ending on the 22nd. So July 22nd.
141. 7:23Um, so for the most part, all the lows
142. 7:26that I took on uh
143. 7:30on when I first started my channel,
144. 7:32except one, the very first one, I wasn't
145. 7:34able to put it on my YouTube. So, all
146. 7:37the ones all the load that I've done um
147. 7:39in the past videos and the one that I'm
148. 7:41that I did on this video is going to be
149. 7:43on this weekly settlement review. Um, so
150. 7:46we going to get started. So, looking at
151. 7:49this page right here, we're looking at
152. 7:52my all of the loads that I took. So, I
153. 7:55did one, two, three, four, five, six
154. 7:59loads for this week. Think I did six
155. 8:01loads for this week. Um, so it it tells
156. 8:04you your loaded miles. It also tells you
157. 8:07your loaded miles right here. It tells
158. 8:09you the load revenue, the trip loaded,
159. 8:12and the trip empty miles. Um,
160. 8:16only only thing that I will highlight on
161. 8:19this one is the 861 empty miles that I
162. 8:22did for the for the load that I was
163. 8:24taking out um that I took from go
164. 8:27leaving home time. So, I don't know why
165. 8:29that one's 861 miles, but I literally
166. 8:32deadheaded like 15 miles. But I think
167. 8:34it's because they added the miles that
168. 8:36um that that it took for me to go pick
169. 8:38up my student, which she was in um
170. 8:40Piston, Pennsylvania. So, I think that's
171. 8:42why they did that. So, the the numbers
172. 8:44is a are a little bit um messed up for
173. 8:48um for the um as far as like fuel for
174. 8:51your your fuel cost and all that stuff,
175. 8:53your cents per mile and all of that
176. 8:55stuff. So, um so this week I did one,
177. 8:58two, three, four, five, six loads and I
178. 9:02grossed at the bottom right $10,200.
179. 9:07Um
180. 9:08this week wasn't too bad. Um, as you
181. 9:10guys watch my last my other videos, I
182. 9:14wasn't really too happy with a bunch of
183. 9:15stuff. Um, so like on you can see on all
184. 9:19the way to the right hand side, they're
185. 9:21all team loads, team load, team load,
186. 9:22team loads, except for this one solo run
187. 9:25that I did, like I said, coming from
188. 9:26home time. Um, so $10,200 isn't too bad.
189. 9:31I'm not too not too mad at that. Um, so
190. 9:35this is the revenue part. So, this is
191. 9:36how much the truck made, revenue, gross,
192. 9:39whatever you want to call it. That's how
193. 9:40much the the truck made. So, this is
194. 9:42going to be my deductions for the week.
195. 9:45Um, I'm just going to focus on big ones,
196. 9:48honestly. Um, so the big ones are going
197. 9:50to be your uh variable cost, which would
198. 9:52be your student pay.
199. 9:55Um, it would be your fuel. Fuel is
200. 9:58really, really big. So, right here, like
201. 10:01I said, um,
202. 10:04where is it at? Where's it at? Where's
203. 10:05it at? Where's it at? of that. So to uh
204. 10:07total revenue freight right there, then
205. 10:10it says your total revenue right here,
206. 10:1110,200, right?
207. 10:14So then for this week, I spent all the
208. 10:17way at the bottom. Tractor fuel cost is
209. 10:2030. Oh, I can't highlight. It's all It's
210. 10:22all the way at the bottom, you guys.
211. 10:24It's 3,9 $3,90.98.
212. 10:28And that was for So, um, I spent 66
213. 10:33cents,
214. 10:35um, a mile for this week. That's really,
215. 10:38really high. Um, I think it's because I
216. 10:41got screwed on my last load cuz I had
217. 10:44filled up thinking I was taking another
218. 10:46load, but the dudes ended up screwing me
219. 10:48with the weight situation. So, yep. So,
220. 10:51this is the um
221. 10:55this is the deductions for the fuel. So,
222. 10:58so what you would do is you take the
223. 10:5910,200 and then you subtract $3,90.
224. 11:04That's your probably going to be your
225. 11:05biggest uh cost honestly.
226. 11:10So then after that
227. 11:12we go to
228. 11:14boom net amount unit. So this is what I
229. 11:18made for the week. $5,28.14.
230. 11:23Um,
231. 11:25honestly,
232. 11:27I am I wouldn't say I'm not happy and
233. 11:31and sound like I'm ungrateful, right?
234. 11:33Cuz I think $5,28
235. 11:36in a single week is good money um for
236. 11:40for for
237. 11:42majority of the people. So
238. 11:46[snorts] So I'm not too I'm not I
239. 11:47wouldn't say I'm not happy. Could have
240. 11:50been better. Could have been a lot
241. 11:51better. So, I'm explain to you guys what
242. 11:52I'm saying. It could could have been a
243. 11:54lot better. Um, so if I was So, if I
244. 11:58didn't have my own truck that I pay a
245. 11:59monthly cost for and I had, um, you
246. 12:02know, the normal weekly lease prime
247. 12:04trucks,
248. 12:06um, it would be what, uh, $1,500 a week.
249. 12:12Um, and then how you would get, so if I
250. 12:17had a weekly payment of $1,500 a week,
251. 12:20you would subtract that from the $5,28.
252. 12:22So I would have technically only made
253. 12:24$3,500
254. 12:27for the week as a trainer
255. 12:30with a lease payment. That's not good at
256. 12:33all. Like at all. You want to you kind
257. 12:35of want to have a set goal of at least
258. 12:3745
259. 12:394,400 a week as a trainer. like that's
260. 12:42like your goal for the week. Like that's
261. 12:44your minimum goal. Anything less than
262. 12:46that is kind of like why are you doing
263. 12:47it to be honest with you? So that's why
264. 12:50I'm I'm saying like I'm not happy but at
265. 12:52the same time I'm grateful that I don't
266. 12:54have a weekly payment. So I can be a
267. 12:56little bit happy about that. Um
268. 13:00so
269. 13:02so
270. 13:03with the lease payment I would have made
271. 13:053500. So now let's talk about solo pay.
272. 13:08So, we're going to use the exact same
273. 13:09numbers that I just ran, but as a solo
274. 13:11driver, you would just pretty much
275. 13:13divide whatever I um Damn, my students
276. 13:16coming. So, you as a solo driver, you
277. 13:19would pretty much just divide whatever u
278. 13:22total miles I ran. So, I ran 4678 miles.
279. 13:25So, you divide that by two. So, if you
280. 13:27if you were solo, all right, so you
281. 13:30would have just ran 2,300 as a solo
282. 13:33driver and you would have took half of
283. 13:34the 10K revenue that I gross as a solo
284. 13:37lease driver and gross 5K. Then you
285. 13:39subtract your your lease payment, which
286. 13:41would be 1,500, you'd be at 3500. Then
287. 13:44you still got to subtract your fuel
288. 13:45cost. So, if you ran the same numbers, I
289. 13:48spent $3,000 on fuel. So, subtract that
290. 13:51by two, another 1,500. So, you subtract
291. 13:553500
292. 13:56to another 1,500 and you would be at
293. 13:59$2,000 for the week. So, that's how much
294. 14:02you would have made for the week. Um, as
295. 14:03a solo driver, as a lease, that's not
296. 14:06bad. Honestly,
297. 14:092,000 like you just want to kind of grow
298. 14:12like net netting 2,000 as a solo driver
299. 14:15is pretty good, honestly. Um, and then
300. 14:18if you was a company driver, you would
301. 14:20just take your solo your solo um total
302. 14:24miles, which would have been for 2,300.
303. 14:26And then you would just do $2,300 times
304. 14:2850, and then you would have just made
305. 14:30$1,10050
306. 14:33$11.50 for the week. That's before
307. 14:35taxes. So, those are just like the
308. 14:37breakdowns of what uh the pay is. Um,
309. 14:40going do what I recommend probably to
310. 14:41others.
311. 14:44I say yes to gain experience like to get
312. 14:47to you know get your your one year
313. 14:49experience in and um
314. 14:52but also just having a plan with within
315. 14:55that experience honestly uh like like
316. 14:58will you be a trainer like I knew when I
317. 15:00was training when I was doing my
318. 15:02training process when I first started
319. 15:04when my my trainer would tell me how
320. 15:06much money he was making I said oh yeah
321. 15:07I'm going to train like
322. 15:10this the training just makes it more
323. 15:11consistent honestly
324. 15:13um will you buy your own truck? Um where
325. 15:16you go back local, you want to haul fuel
326. 15:19and go back local after a year. So those
327. 15:22are just the plans that you want to have
328. 15:23when you first get in Prime. Um as far
329. 15:26as longterm,
330. 15:28if you were to go company with Prime, I
331. 15:32would not suggest that at all or just go
332. 15:35on a lease. I wouldn't suggest that at
333. 15:38all. I would only do it if you have a
334. 15:41plan to get out of a a lease payment per
335. 15:44week and get your own truck or if you
336. 15:46want to be a trainer. Um, but there's
337. 15:50still endless opportunities with the
338. 15:51trucking industry just cuz once you get
339. 15:53your one year experience in over the
340. 15:54road or even 6 months, you might be able
341. 15:57to finesse a decent job at home to be
342. 16:00honest. Um, but
343. 16:03if I were to go company though, I would
344. 16:06definitely
345. 16:08the only way that I would go company
346. 16:10with Prime and maybe work it out with
347. 16:12Prime is if you
348. 16:15find a mini fleet owner that's need
349. 16:17drivers, which there is a lot there are
350. 16:19a lot of them, but you do need to make
351. 16:22that connection as you need to start
352. 16:24talking to people as you are in
353. 16:26training. But that's probably the only
354. 16:28way. Honestly, I think that's really the
355. 16:30best route. Um cuz when you look at your
356. 16:33numbers, a mini fleet owner is probably
357. 16:35going to start you at 60 cents a mile.
358. 16:37Um majority of these lease drivers, they
359. 16:40they're only averaging about 70 to 75 80
360. 16:44cents a mile um profit when when it's
361. 16:48all said and done. when you after your
362. 16:50lease payment, after your all your after
363. 16:53all the uh costs that you um
364. 16:56gonna have. Um
365. 17:00another thing being you is you need to
366. 17:04learn how to really really save your
367. 17:05money. Like save, save, save, man. Um
368. 17:10cuz in trucking you are going to make a
369. 17:11lot of money. Not going to lie to you.
370. 17:13You're going to make a lot of money. But
371. 17:15then in the same time,
372. 17:18[snorts] if you don't know how to save
373. 17:19your money, it's like you're kind of
374. 17:20just running out here, just running
375. 17:23wild. To be honest with you, there's
376. 17:25going to be some rainy days. There's
377. 17:26going to be some weeks where you're not
378. 17:27making any money. Might be a week where
379. 17:29you your truck break down and now you
380. 17:31you don't know what you doing. Your
381. 17:33truck might break down for two weeks.
382. 17:35Sure, you got your um your uh dam,
383. 17:39what's that? What do they call it? um
384. 17:41that breakdown pay, but that's just
385. 17:43enough to cover the the payment for your
386. 17:45truck for the week. That's you're
387. 17:47literally not getting any money to your
388. 17:49bank account. It's literally just money
389. 17:51to like I said, cover your truck payment
390. 17:54for the week. So, you still won't be
391. 17:55running. You still won't be profiting
392. 17:57any money. Um so, yeah, save your money.
393. 18:00Save your money.
394. 18:02Uh lease versus company.
395. 18:05Honestly, do what works for you to be
396. 18:07honest with you. Um, if you're scared to
397. 18:10go run on your own, if you're scared to
398. 18:11go run your own business, go company. If
399. 18:14you need to go home like a lot because
400. 18:17you have kids, you got a wife, go
401. 18:19company. Um, company has good benefits.
402. 18:22You got 401k, you have health insurance.
403. 18:25Um, so no headaches with a truck
404. 18:27breakdown. So that's a plus. But like I
405. 18:30said, if you do end up choosing to go
406. 18:32company, I would start looking for a
407. 18:35mini fleet owner to uh to join because
408. 18:39you would be a company driver, but you
409. 18:41would get the lease um lease benefits as
410. 18:45far as not being forced dispatched. You
411. 18:47don't have to go to certain truck stops
412. 18:50to fuel up. You have the freedom to fuel
413. 18:52up wherever you want to go. Um so that's
414. 18:54honestly the best route in my opinion.
415. 18:56Um, but if you can run months at a time,
416. 18:59I would go lease. Um,
417. 19:03yeah, you have to run months at a time,
418. 19:05though. Like, if you think you're going
419. 19:06to run two weeks and then go home for a
420. 19:07week, that's not going to happen with
421. 19:09lease. You're going to be in a hole.
422. 19:10You're going to hate trucking. Um, with
423. 19:12lease is more risk, more reward.
424. 19:15Honestly, if you go lease,
425. 19:18the goal is to get your own truck. That
426. 19:20that needs to be the goal. You need you
427. 19:22need to do whatever it takes to get out
428. 19:24of that weekly payment. as soon as
429. 19:26possible. Like they push you to to to
430. 19:29complete your lease completion bonus,
431. 19:31but honestly, if you do the math, if you
432. 19:34could get into your own truck within a
433. 19:36year, you're going to save so much more
434. 19:37money than you would if you were to to
435. 19:40complete the lease and get your at least
436. 19:41complete some bonus. Um,
437. 19:45home time is great for lease, too. Um,
438. 19:47so it's like a it's like a it's like a
439. 19:51bad thing and a good thing cuz you could
440. 19:52take home time as as long as you want.
441. 19:54you could go home for as for as long as
442. 19:56a month without getting in any trouble,
443. 19:59I believe, or I think it was like 59
444. 20:01days before they pretty much be like,
445. 20:03"Hey, you got to run the load of lease
446. 20:05or you get fired." So, yeah, that's
447. 20:08that's a good part. But then the bad
448. 20:10part about that is your lease weekly
449. 20:12payments is is just added on $1,500 a
450. 20:15week. So, if you take home for a month,
451. 20:17that's $6,000 you in the hole. So, it
452. 20:19means you're going to probably work the
453. 20:20whole next month for free just paying
454. 20:22that down.
455. 20:25Um,
456. 20:28so yeah, that's it for that. If you guys
