I'm an independent owner/operator, hauling flatbed freight in and around the Western United States.
Having been around trucking for over 50 years, I prefer it the way it used to be: simpler, friendlier, and family style, with small town values. Even today, we do nearly everything ourselves, in-house.
I'm self dispatched, self financed and run older, well maintained and paid off equipment. We run the back roads and depend on personal relationships to get things done.
Not only do we earn a living with the truck, we sometimes turn trucking trips into vacations and visits to family!
On this channel, I'll share stories of loads hauled, places delivered to and some of the people I meet, while doing what needs to be done to earn a living in what's become an overwhelmingly corporate industry.
What I do to "make a buck with a truck."
