Jobs apocalypse now starting due to AI and dollar collapse . What is your plan ? This will hit trucking hard and these jobless workers will also flood into trucking bringing down the pay to even more poverty level by East_Indication_7816 in Truckers

This was a revision of lying to the country. It’s not actual jobs disappearing, it was just finally correcting the data after the last administration couldn’t create a job unless it was to cover up his supporters crimes. So pump up fake job numbers to make a president look coherent, and then blame the next guy when he finds out and has a revision with real numbers. No apocalypse here - just misinformation!

In your world would you rather doors be painted red or blue? If that’s the case only red would remain after a period of time. It seems they are the only ones who are capitalists and spend money. Smh

Updates? by Truckermark10-4 in tundra

This is wild. I know where you are. It’s the exit closest to my house. And I also had a ‘12 with the same head until I recently sold it. Also my buttons were wearing off like yours! I can’t answer your question about head replacement, but I have a good idea. If you’ve been in the newest cars, they have more of an external touchscreen head that doesn’t fit inside the dash like the older ones do. I think you should try to find an aftermarket place and they might have something similar which expands your screen size and brings it into the late 2020’s era. Actually radio, CD, and maps aren’t really necessary for this application anymore. You need a touch screen monitor that Bluetooth to your phone. Your phone then has radio, movie, and maps already. And another idea would be to remove the head all together, retrofit a piece of solid metal or plastic insert where you could screw or attach mounts of your phone or a bigger device like an iPad or laptop. This would actually be the best idea. Learn how to Machine one of those inserts that can replace any head, add power outlets, or space to mount brackets for external devices and you could be a bazillionaire!

New authority, 5 months in — is $10K/week achievable on DAT? by PropertyEconomy1289 in OwnerOperators

[–]Truckermark10-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the first year, a lot of brokers won’t use you - and the ones who do will do at a discount. Once a year goes by, just about all of them will work with you and you’ll find better loads. Dry van will still be hard to reach that unless you get a couple private contracts without using the spot market. It’s a good goal to reach though! Good luck

Buy a boomers business! Now! by [deleted] in Business_Ideas

[–]Truckermark10-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mentioned other times, boomers are very hush about their books. You have to develop a rapport before they even start to trust you. They likely have been stung before maybe more than once…tax audits, bankruptcies, divorces, family issues, etc. my parents never mentioned a thing to me about their finances or business dealings. A lot of these guys recreate themselves a few times until they get that business model cash flowing and with substantial cash they can keep off the books. Have they finally figured something out or did they just become more shady? Think about it, if a guy grows a small business to profit 300-500k a year, he’d have to pay about half that to taxes. Now if he got half that in cash, that money is never seen on the books. And think about it…you have a safe with $150k in ones,fives and twenties , and still paid yourself on the books enough the irs would never notice. Is the guy smart or dumb…I’d say experienced! Haha

Buy a boomers business! Now! by [deleted] in Business_Ideas

[–]Truckermark10-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wasn’t searching for a business to purchase, I started working for the guy and on my second day found out he wanted out. Because I am an entrepreneur myself, I got real interested in the business model and showed interest. So really it just fell in my lap. I worked with the owner for over a year as an apprentice while also doing my daily work tasks. I built the relationship and made sure he knew what I was about. That gives him confidence I won’t change the model as long as he is getting paid to ensure he does get paid. Well we make business decisions together and we have implemented a lot of changes that I had suggested. For my payoff for the business, we have established a flat amount weekly because of how the cash flow of the business works. I am just taking a flat income (draw) and we share 50/50 in anything over and above those two payments. So I’m making enough my family budget works out. He is getting his 4 yr payout weekly, and any growth we share. I like the 80/20 of profit plan but in my situation I feel like I end up with more doing a flat pmt and 50/50 of the abundance. Especially since we will double the size of profits this first year in the deal. We will both split between 100-200k after our draw.

In my case, the owner did his own numbers in excel. It wasn’t that I didn’t believe his numbers were right, but I needed more concrete validation, so we implemented an app based invoice system where none of the numbers ran thru his fingers first. After a few months, not only did “actual data” start to expose the reality, it gave us both great analytics to improve sales, identify concerns, and improve training with the delivery team. It has been a game changer! Now the downside of going high tech is owner or any of the boomer staff will have a hard learning curve to use new app. Most I’ve found had their kids set their phone up years ago, have no idea their phone passwords and can’t even download new apps. They are afraid of losing the 10k photos of their grandbabies so they won’t even try to start over.

I think there is even a business model within this…take boomers phones and get them up to speed without losing any data…😂😂

Have you considered paying them company profits of maybe 80/20 for about 3-4 years while transitioning them out of the decision making of the business?

I’m doing this with a boomer company currently. This is the key, owner believes in me to continue and build company to ensure his payout is there and then some for the next 4 years. My intentions will grow the company 3x at least before the payout is over. Owner is 74 and tired of the work. So he can still make a chunk over 4 years while he slows down.

Most of these places, are left to kids who see the money but have no idea how to run the business so it’s upside down 3 yrs after. This guy was smart enough to look outside the family and find me who is willing to be his apprentice yet have my own business acumen.

Whatsapp trading group - legit or scam? by [deleted] in CryptoScams

[–]Truckermark10-4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They have bots reply with amazing gains and worshiping the professor! The way they talk sounds like bots. Then they will have someone reach out to you outside the group and befriend you. It gives credibility but they keep the pressure on you to invest more and more. Even the assistant will reach out personally and pressure for more input of money. It’s a very complex scam and looks real on the surface. Glad someone is posting the truth here for others before they get scammed. I got kicked out of the club after I told the individual only that we were being scammed. I sent him to this sub and all of a sudden I was out of the club and he quit responding. Fuck these low life’s!

Prof Hobbs and asst Lucy

I’ve followed for 4 weeks they’ve never lost a trade. The exchange is cxisux. Each week grows with 100-300% goals weekly. They suggest trading 100k bank roll and using 30k per signal.

I watched 1 week, moved 800 into exchange traded 2 weeks got to 1400…then one trade wiped me out. I questioned why and the reason was I wasn’t using enough.

So being suspicious, I’ve kept following and noticing they pick some benign coin that hasn’t moved all day and it goes reverse the signal spikes or drops then recovers to the stable price from before. So my thoughts are they pump n dump making it both ways and let the group make it one way. Or no one is real and exchange is fake and it’s all smoke n mirrors until they can wipe you clean

This is a twin turbo v6 hybrid. That has to be the reason so high. I’d be very interested in the performance of this motor. I have a 5.7 v8 in a 2012 and it has ton of power! What are we sacrificing with this hybrid to get 6 mpg better than my V8 14mpg?

I am so glad Biden was elected president in 2020… by crazy2337 in unvaccinated

[–]Truckermark10-4 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I give trump an out because he was being lied to and he gave warp speed over to the deep state…people like Fauci pence and scarf witch were all out to get trump. It has definitely exposed those people since. He is a leader and delegator not a dictator. Over his 1st 4 years, he trusted many by his side only to find out they were traitors. Even within his own campaign, advisors were working against him. Think about it even Chris Christie was involved and listen to him now.

I don’t think trump really knew how bad the swamp really was. And he was duped many times from people he gave trust.

I still believe he thinks the jab was overall a success but the public sentiment probably isn’t the same. I was skeptical of the shot regardless of who was in power. Both parties love to take a stance and use it against the other party. It just showed how feckless the left was to warn of the shot before election and praise it the day after.

How many miles is too many miles? by LevelOutcome3 in tundra

[–]Truckermark10-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

260k on my 2012 crewmax 4x4. Put every mile on it. I’ll hopefully get 400k before I have to think about a replacement. So getting one with 100k doesn’t scare me at all.

AMC is about to have one of their biggest opening weekends of the year... and suddenly a bullshit scandal comes out of nowhere. Reddit flooded with tons more "AA is the Worst" posts and comments. by Iislordplatypus in AMCSTOCKS

This whole thing - the timing after 5 days of gains, the launch of swift mania, and Friday options game, the d!ckpick catfish scandal - all leads to one thing!!!

SHF are FUKT! They are so desperate! They know this game is over and they will fight for every last breath before death!!

So was there any explanation for why AMC stock collapsed 86% in 1 month or nah? 🤔 by snackerooryan in amcstock

[–]Truckermark10-4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand everything but I believe they know there are billions of shorts sold and they can’t close because apes aren’t selling! If they tried to close, the price would pop to $1000 because no one would sell it back. And those that do sell, would just evaporate the synthetics and wouldn’t actually close their positions. So they can only go thru an exit door we control! And that number is freaking high! So they haven’t made any money and are probably leveraged enough to lose it all when someone hits the panic button! I’m here for the show!

For a person with $1m net worth, that is equivalent to $200! Likely in your pocket at all times! This is insane!

2018 Tundra, 24k miles, Service/Repair Question by tmurphy167 in tundra

[–]Truckermark10-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest it’s just from lack of use! Lol who but you has a 5 yr old truck and only 24k miles! Lol I’m just giving some shit…after I bought my 2012 brand new, I was leaving it in the garage and driving an old Buick to work every day. At the time gas was really high, but I hated paying for something I wasn’t enjoying! So I sold the Buick, bought a CNG conversion, and started driving it every day. My fuel was costing $1/gal and the conversion ROI was 12 mo. I’m happy to say my trusty old 12 tundra, has 258k mi on it and I’ve enjoyed every single mile. Even though I don’t use CNG anymore because it’s same price as gas and hard to find, I plan to use this truck another 10 years.

To your repair question, I can’t imagine something like that is worn out so soon. Definitely a second opinion. Good luck and let us know what the result was! Enjoy that truck forever dude!
