Are Long Hauls WORTH IT for a Leased On Owner Operator? (Non - CDL Hotshot)

of rain in louisiana lots of rain and louisiana the south bruh bro when you in the south this is what it is y'all i'm on the next load another long haul uh forgot where i'm heading to but i'm heading back to minneapolis minnesota y'all i'm just feeling good man i mean god's too man like these last two loads ain't paying so great i mean the area that i was in ain't much around there but what can you do man i feel like for me it's not all about the money the money is very important but the experience you know learning all of that's important to me you know uh making mistakes learning from them and i enjoy being out on the road i do miss my wife i miss my fam but that's the sacrifice that comes with this man so i'm gonna be out i've been out two weeks going on on my third week and then i'll be back for like a week i don't know if i'm gonna take that long i may take a couple days but you gotta stay positive man gotta stay positive through every situation unless you'd be out here just miserable man miserable and that ain't the direction i'm trying to go in so it's raining in louisiana all right y'all i just made it to uh this pickup location they loaded me up with another one of these pumps man let me show you what it look like [Music] yeah yeah [Music] yeah yeah [Music] room [Music] up strapped up trained up ready to go let me show you guys what i did so i got one chain pulling forward i had these little d-rings here for me to go through i put a strap two straps just uh just for peace of mind i guess then i got my chain and binder pulling it backwards it's about 8 100 pounds this time y'all i ain't put it all the way back i put it more forward but still over the axles should have a decent ride not like before so all right man we heading to minnesota so i'm heading out yeah check out this weather man it's about time we're going to see how long it lasts definitely going to see how long this weather lasts man i'm driving through um i'm driving through these highways bro like wearing nothing out here i'm driving through arkansas right now but yeah man today's just a travel day y'all um i got about 868 miles to go before reaching my destination yesterday you know was just took me so long to get out of louisiana because i had to pull over i had some documents i had to re-upload and i actually re-secured this pump because i had to get all four points secured uh so i used all four binders and two chains i sent it to my boy he's like man i messed up last time you gotta you gotta secure all four points so i went ahead and um redid that he showed me how to do that so i'll show y'all later on man but i'm just driving [Music] oh [Music] all right y'all i made it man i'm in just made it to my drop in coconut cotton grove minnesota i'm about to swing around and get so they can get me unloaded but first i gotta get my ppe on man [Music] all right y'all i'm gonna pull up get unloaded and we'll probably set you all up somewhere [Music] all right y'all i'm done with this load paid 2 400 for i think 11 80 miles 1 180 miles that's just over two dollars a mile um i had to go pick up my next load deadhead is only 20 minutes away uh so that's not bad at all 17 mile dead head and then taking this next one to north carolina i got to look at the ratecon to see how many miles and i know they're paying 2 400 as well but i got to see how many miles it is to see what the rate per mile is gonna look like so i'll see y'all at the next pickup location man y'all this load is got to be the easiest load i've ever done man look at that four straps and i'm done the only thing i got to do is uh tarp it man so that's what i'm about to do and get it moving and i'm hoping to get uh my dispatcher said he's looking out for partials for me on the way down this is going from minneapolis to north carolina let's get it [Music] good morning y'all what is good welcome back to the channel man welcome back no what am i talking about bro i've been vlogging this this this low already i'm tripping man i'm tripping bro hey just wanted to update y'all man my dispatcher just called me he got me a partial um it's a 20-foot container that's going to go on the back a little iffy i'm not too sure about that because of weight distribution i got 400 in the front three feet is going to hang off but i took it man so we go we're going to roll with it now i just wanted to tell y'all like it is end route so it's going from mccook illinois which is right in chicago and i'm driving through chicago right now and um well i'm in illinois just i'm sorry i'm not in illinois yet i'm just uh south of milwaukee and i'm heading towards chicago so it's end route um and then i'm dropping it off about 30 minutes away from the original drop-off for this first load that i had so it works out perfectly it's an extra twelve hundred dollars added to this uh trip um this original trip was two thousand dollars and it was a very low rate but i i guess you know i took it because it was a very light load so gas mileage would be good and there was room for the you know for the partials so it should be turning out good man i'm going to head out to go pick up this uh partial right now and um you know continue to head down i got about 13 or more hours on the drive there the pilot last night took me a shower got me something to eat and i'm fresh and i'm ready to go man so let's go get this partial y'all all right y'all so i just picked up this partial uh there it is it's a container 20 foot container i got my small load in the front that i'm originally taken down to bellew creek something like that in uh north carolina this is going to winston-salem which is about 30 minutes south yeah man dispatcher came through this is 1200 this is 2000 total of 3200 and it's it's in the same route so then i gotta get finished strapping up and loading and getting the hell out of here man a little bit behind because i had a lot of waiting time for these guys all right i'll unload it man i'm strapped i had to move the first load a little bit more forward so i get more room put my dunage under there and strapped it down put three straps they're all within 10 feet each two chains just to be safe i guess the ride ain't going to be so good on this one i know that for sure because i got more of my weight to the back again and that means i'm probably going to get a little bit of bouncing in the bat but what can i do when i pick that one up first uh just take it nice and slow you know but so it looks like i gotta hurp and get out of here wish me luck y'all all right guys kind of calm things down but i feel like i'm always rushing bro trying to get out of here right now both of these drop-offs are due tomorrow in north carolina so that's what i'm outside there showing y'all everything man i feel like i'm i'm going i'm rushing you know what i mean so i'm just backing up this guy told me to go a direction i couldn't even go so backing up out of here and then heading down i got about 12 hours to go i'm hoping to get at least nine or eight done hopefully everything goes smoothly and we out what's up y'all welcome to my casa welcome to the crib so right
