We have some potentially unpopular opinions to share.
We are passionate about business, helping others learn business, and serving customers. We try our best to share that passion and ignite it in our program participants. It doesn't always work out.

It's been 20 days since our last podcast. We've been busy keeping five trucks running during this pandemic. The market is down, but it isn't dead. We've had to work really hard to keep everyone loaded, but we have kept the trucks moving. We have found some silver linings and we talk about how we are optimistic for the future.

A video about this truck went viral on TikTok, so here is the breakdown in a longer form video.
Chris's best friend Zeke bought this 2007 Freightliner Century in 2021 for $5,500. When we put it on the road in July 2021, he had about $40,000 in it. This video covers the breakdown of the income and profit split between Zeke and Blue Ribbon. The story is also covered in Episode 94 of the podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=341vdpDm1fc
From July 2021 to July 2022, the truck earned $315,000. From that, a driver was paid $90,000, Zeke was paid $55,000, and Blue Ribbon earned a profit of $48,000.
Had one person owned and drove this truck in that time frame, their profit would have been $193,000. The average owner/operator (according to ATBS) made $69,000 in 2021.
How did we realize a profit of almost TRIPLE that?
We did it through maximizing revenue (serving customers) and managing costs.
