Is the " Trucking" Gold Rush Coming to an End?

 How to Maintain Success as an Owner Operator - 2022

Trucking Success


As an Owner Operator, have you noticed your paycheck slowly become LESS and LESS instead of MORE and MORE in comparison with what you have experienced in the past 2 years???

Since 2020 when COVID hit, our economy has NOT BEEN STABLE and has caused many economic imbalances that have NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!

I have been in the trucking and transportation industry for 17 years and have NEVER SEEN the consistent $3,000 to $10,000 NET weekly payouts to drivers that I have been seeing in the past 24 months.

Most of you veteran drivers have not ever seen this before, either.

 And we all  say,  IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Unfortunately, these Skyrocketing Rates that are driving up your pay are NOT SUSTAINABLE, and WILL DESTROY OUR ECONOMY if left too high for long.

trucking is a barometer of economic health

The Trucking industry is used by economists to predict the health of the economy and to make necessary changes, which is a BIG reason why we are all seeing and experiencing many changes in our economy right now.

 TRUCKING 101 

EVERYTHING (good and bad) THAT HAPPENS IN TRUCKING is TEMPORARY!  

This recent "GOOD" is slowly coming to an end and if you want to be successful in trucking, you need to consider choosing one of these two options:

  • Adjust to the situation - OR
  • Leave the industry and find a different type of work

6 steps for success as a truck driver

Trucking is a classic LOVE/HATE relationship and if you want to make trucking your career you have to:

  1. REMAIN STRONG - through the many economic storms 
  2. CONTROL - only whatever YOU CAN DIRECTLY CONTROL.
  3. SAVE  - money for the downtimes (which will happen)
  4. LIVE - within your financial means!
  5. KNOW - your family's "breakeven" for bills to survive
  6. SET ASIDE - money for your future.

You can opt to change trucking companies, but the impact of this Instability will not spare any carrier or you, if you opt to work under your own authority.

empower yourself as a truck driver

 You "CANNOT RUN, YOU CANNOT HIDE, YOU GOTTA FACE IT BABY!"

Make necessary adjustments so you remain successful as an owner operator.

TIP #1: IPPIN - Identity Protection Personal Identification Number  If you or your spouse APPLIED to the IRS to get this 6 DIGIT PIN number to prevent others from fraudulently filing your tax return, BE SURE that your MAILING ADDRESS is correct with the IRS AND WATCH FOR A MAILED LETTER FROM THE IRS in the beginning of the year that will contain this number.

 Sole Proprietor, LLC or Corporation Which is the best for your business? As a business owner, you should be aware of what each type of business entity offers in terms of taxes, liability protection, and control over the business. The easiest and most common business type is the Sole Proprietorship. As a sole proprietor, you automatically get the new (and misunderstood) responsibility of "self employment" taxes.
