    I love haters! You can bash that guy all you want, but in less than three years from getting his CDL, he got his own authority, paid off two trucks, and a trailer.

    If you actually watch his videos he doesn’t haul cheap freight, he will sit at the house instead of hauling freight for a rate that he doesn’t think is worth moving his truck.

    Do you have proof that they are paid off? Seen the titles in his name? Remember his Volvo rebuild almost put him out of business.

    Not related, but if you edit your post, see where it says [/QUOTE add another bracket to the end so it says [/QUOTE] then save it. That will fix the post.

    Not hating at all or saying he hauls cheap, just pointing out something we’ve seen countless times over the years when one segment softens. Think back to this site around 2019. How do I get into flatbed? I have “X” truck, can I do heavy haul with it?

    No one's hating but that guy definitely is your typical YouTube celebrity wannabe. He only tells half the story. The money he doesn't make from part time trucking gets made up on his youtube income which most people don't get.

    I would guess he makes more off youtube than trucking.

    It's definitely misleading to onlookers that don't know any better.

    So, according to your little snippet there, you tubers average $3-$5 per view.
    The guy has 939 videos.
    The videos have between 1.5 million views on the higher end to 23k on the lower end.
    So let's say 80k views per video, just for kicks.
    80k x 939 = 75,120,000
    Multiply that times the low end of $3 per view. $225,360,000.
    Even if it half that. Your absolutely right, that guy must be starving. You better send money to his patreon, so his family doesn't end up on the street. :rolleyes:
