How did regular Joe from the Trucking industry become a Millionaire in just 2 years?!

The trucking industry is more than just big rigs and long hauls. It is a business venture with a lot of ups and downs. For every up, there is usually a downright around the corner. That does not mean you can’t strike gold if you find the right opportunities. Whether through small side gigs or your main gig, being in the trucking industry can lead to interesting opportunities.

Many people who work in the trucking industry strike gold and become millionaires because of their job as owner-operators, drivers or company owners. If you are looking for inspiration to pursue your dream or want to know how others have done it, here is the story of ,,Joe" from the trucking industry who became a millionaire in just 2 years.

2 Years Ago the Beginning of It All

At the beginning of this story, Joe is just another trucking employee working for a company and making a decent salary. Although he was happy with his job and making money, he wanted more. He wanted to make a significant amount of money, but he did not know-how.

In the trucking industry, there are a lot of opportunities to make money and start your own company. You just have to know how and when to do it. That is where ,,Joe’s" journey began. And it all started in Jun 2020 right after the COVID19 hit USA.

That was a perfect moment to start a new company or even expand the current one. That's a difference between regular owners and successful ones. Successful ones saw the Market growing slowly and decide to invest more and expand the fleet.

Today, two years after, we are the witnesses of the Expansion of all these Opportunities for companies who used the right moment. Companies that had 20 Truck in their fleet two years ago, today counting 70+ trucks.

That fast expansion is followed by market growth up to 500%.

So for example, for the load from Chicago IL to Dallas, TX in Jun 2020 Companies was getting $2000 which is $2 per mile, for the same load 2 years in advance companies were getting up to $5000 which is $5 PER MILE!

2 Year's after the Gold Rush

,,Joe's" company is counting today 30 trucks and after 2 years of prosperity, the economic crisis hit again. The price of the gas increased 300% compared to 2 years ago. The reason behind that price increase as far as the Government presents it to us is the war in Ukraine. Even if USA Government is only importing 3% of the gas from Russia. Another problem is new lockdowns in China. Cargo ships are parked in front of the Ports in LA and other big ports, and the answer for that is ,, logistic problems to unload the cargo". What do you think about that? :)

Today A Million Dollars

,,Joe’s" journey lasted about two years, and he became a millionaire because of his decisions. During those two years, he was able to make a good amount of money, but he was also able to invest a good amount of money in the new industry. Today Miami Florida is the number one city for trucking owners to invest in properties. The price of the apartments in Miami increased 200% because of the big wave of people who moved to Miami from NY and California. Almost 330,000 people have moved to Florida during the past year; migration is expected to continue through 2025.

Conclusion

There are many different ways you can invest extra money outside of your trucking company. If you have invested in properties, or cryptocurrency,... time will show what those investments will bring you in the future. You just have to be willing to look forward to them and take advantage of that opportunities when you find them.

Trucking Industry Future

Researching the whole internet and reaching out to important people, our team figures out what to expect in the future.

Till the 4th of July, we can expect the market to get back on the legs, but after that date everything is possible.

If you are a company owner try to play safe and keep the monthly expenses as lower as possible. Tho most important thing in the hard times is keeping your trucks running not sitting in the yard. When a crisis happened there will be so many trucks on the market and not that many drivers. The battle for the drivers starts today. Try to keep your fleet satisfied and happy as much as you can and make sure to get rid of the old trucks and maybe replace them with owner-operators.

When drivers shortage comes they will be able to choose between thousands of trucks to drive. Do you think someone will choose your 2012 Volvo instead of the new truck?
