923 Miles Louisina to Illinois | How I made extra money using uShip | Cargo Van Business

[@Jay-ly3ux]

Everytime you go to a location and you tell them you're there for a pickup and delivery.....it's always that ackward silence everytime 😂

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Lol same scenario every time

[@nissansunar7313]

They only know how to distract the driver’s attention while on the road asking locations updates every now and then. Charging driver’s blood pressure to drive faster than the speed limits in order to pickup the load / deliver the load. After that when you let them know that you are there onsite they remain silence in ackward way. Sometimes they give wrong addresses which don’t match with maps, they don’t help us. Once they gave me an address; For example 245 something Ave, something state and something zip code. I went towards that address probably I reached at an old collapsed house. I called my dispatcher about the situation he said that the address he had given is correct. I told them about the situation, they repeated the same by telling to see the BOL. I double checked the address I found the same. Then I just changed the numbers 245 into 254 myself and proceeded towards it. Finally I reached to the correct destination. We drivers need money to buy our food stuffs, gas etc but we get arguments, complaints for free that cost nothing.

Saw your post in the Facebook group

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Awesome man which one? Are you a driver or looking into the business?

[@DTHRILLS.DANIEL.THRILLRIDETV]

@ExpeditingAmerica expediting one I think. Yes I'm the ceo if you will have a buddy who doesn't know the business I book the loads do the paperwork talk to brokers and drive myself. 16 foot box truck no regulations under 10k pounds used to drive sprinters. I haul it man do 12 to 18 hour days get good marks from the broker. Love the road life. Hired a cargo van driver but he couldn't handle it. It's not for every one. Love the road. Have kids that's the tough part. Great money though

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

@@DTHRILLS.DANIEL.THRILLRIDETV shoot me an email [e-mail] I can imagine how hard this would be with kids but it’s good you’re booking loads on the side too so you can be home a little. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!

[@antoniopegues]

Be blessed bro and says safety 🙏

[@outstate9218]

You may want to remove the Amazon step below the back bumper so and they can load and unload you easier with standard forks. -Unless you're worried about them beating up your bumper with the forklift. Some vans have back up sensors that can get damaged.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

That thing is so sturdy man I’m not worried bout it but I can see what you mean

[@EricA-tq6zl]

Keep the bumper I’ve never had a problem. It’s actually saved me in a rear end situation

hey bud i appreciate ur vids, it is a little intimidating putting everything together to start an expediting business, but ur videos definitely help, hopefully in 3 months when il have everything ready il catch u on the road

[@gavinvideos8062]

Have you talked about what insurance you use/ what’s required in any of your videos?

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I have but I’ll do it again here soon.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

100k/1,000,000 insurance policy usually if you want to have your own authority or you can get it from a carrier you sign onto sometimes

[@briandjurich9126]

I have to pay off my pick up first but i want to get into expedite after

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I would find a lane to haul other than expedite. I guess it’s a good way to get your foot in the door, but use the experience to build contacts and start your own thing.

[@JerseyNBA2kbigman]

Nice information. I have a question. Do you bid the same rate or it depends on the distance or how long you been sitting. Second question. How do you keep warm in the van

[@alcors110]

Brandon, cool video as usual. I guess Bubba-Jo isnt the jealous type, since he didnt react when that other dog was standing between your feet lol. Quick question, Is your new van long enough to haul 3 pallets and still keep your bed in place ?

Oh also, bro run your wipers. They dont use fuel to run lol

[@BlackMamba-r2z]

Brandon love what your doing. I'm on the same path but about 10 months behind you. Believe me 8m nor doing this for the money yet just trying to learn the 8ndustry save to get my own van. Here's the thing I've come from the factory for years and I wouldn't leave this to go back for any amount of money I'm here to stay and don't know how to give up and I absolutely hate failure. So I appreciate you channel and hope me and my promaster rover see you on the road. God bless and please explain to others with out failures we would appreciate success

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Best of luck to you! New episode drops today at 5pm est

[@timmytheimpaler]

What's the sound bar up front? Are your van speakers blown or is the sound bar just that awesome? What do those run?

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Well the van radio needs replacing so a simple fix was a $100 sound bar. But I already had it from a couple years back.

[@johnpowell7684]

do you have to pull into the dot stations or can you bypass them

Ayeeee from b-town that’s what’s up. Insurance is 100k cargo 1million liability. And factoring takes about 2-4% if you use it. I don’t.

I thought you wanted to go on your own and quit the people you were with and they were pi$$ed! Your a smart guy, why would you want to work for anyone??

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

@@Jack-fr8ji there are benefits to having someone book loads for you. Let’s say I’m on a run to Chicago. It’s hard for me (on a time crunch) to stare at a screen sending e-mails calls while driving. But while I drive my dispatcher can book a load for me while I’m on my way to a drop off or if I don’t have a dedicated load she can look for other stuff for me to pick up if I have room. At the end of the day we work for the company we haul for at the moment. Nobody is truly free unless their shipping a product they made themselves. And I’m im paying a dispatcher they work for me. Not the other way around :)

[@fitetransport-eydj6203]

I will give some constructive criticism. This is my opinion. As a business owner, I want to represent myself as well as my company. I, personally, want to look professional at all times. Flip flops, sandals, tank tops, hat on backwards, body odor(unbathed), gym shorts are not a professional look, imo. Take pride in your business, your brand & yourself. I also have business cards with me at all times. Unless you are under contract with a company which you signed a no-compete, then pass those out. Safe Travels!!!

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

No doubt I agree and most the time I do. But some days I don’t. Most these shippers are the least professional places around. But I don’t do this everyday. 🤷‍♂️ Great advice on the cards!
