Have you seen the sleepers that companies build into the front of the cargo box? I wonder why someone couldn't build a version themselves? I think the hardest part would be installing a door in the side.

There is a company that builds a sleeper right on top of the cab. You basically just jump up into it. I dont think it has AC but they have a small heater in them, its pretty nice, but looks ugly from the outside lol

This is awesome, I purchased my box truck 2 months ago initially I’d been doing appliances the last 5 years some things didn’t work out, insurance cost being too high considering I’m 23, hence I’d already been running my own business with a partner but recently decided to split.(insurance was under his name at the time) Anywho now I’m looking to do just dock to dock loads so this helps a lot with getting familiar with what it’s like, appreciate the videos!

If you can pallet jack the load to the lip of the truck then thats always better. Sometimes weight doesn't allow this and you just have to let the forklift on. Get the airbag looked at/changed out.

It’s a terrible time to get in. I hope you don’t have a truck payment. Because if you do and you have other debt like rent or mortgage and the need to support a family back home it’s pretty much game over from the start. Insurance, truck payment and fuel will pretty much take most of your profits. I know because I am new to the game with zero debt and no truck payment but still see only small margin of profit. I also self dispatch even as a new authority. But if you can survive while a lot can’t, when things get better you’re golden. Good luck.

@HaileZe2 ай бұрын
Brother man, I'm glad to see you hustling. With Amazon, if you are on time you are late. Give yourself at least an hour. The type of loads you get will depend on your rating with Amazon. It is messed up system, but if your know the game, play it by its rules. The other thing I noticed is that your truck needs alignment. It is not an immediate issue, but you might want to get it taken care of. As far as DAT loads, I wonder what kind of rates you are getting in this market. More than $2? Best of luck Brother.
