The other benefit of a business credit card is that you can also earn miles/points/cash back in those cards, and you personally can spend those earned credits on whatever it is you want to, it doesn’t have to be for the business. Earn and use the banks money, not your own.

Just helping out the EIN is free to get with your Secretary of State and it ONLY tells the government how to tax you. For business credit you should register for a FREE DUNS number with Dun & Bradstreet (biggest business credit bureau) this is what you use to establish your business creditworthiness (may have to pay) some job boards even utilize it to see if your capabilities before awarding you a job. When you provide your EIN financial institutions are just going to use whichever credit report is better. Since most businesses never report business expenses, vendors, and revenue they use your personal which eliminates the whole point of an LLC

MC is for when you upscale and get drivers for the business cause when you get the MC I've heard you have 2 to 3 months to get the cargo insurance which as soon as you get it your MC would be fully active that insurance is like 1500 a month alone . I could be wrong tho
@BigCJCargoVan Жыл бұрын
Yea, almost right. To maintain MC you need to keep minimum required commercial insurance of 300k liability and 5k cargo. I pay $500 per month. If you use your MC for contract route or OTR, you will need to increase to 1 mil liability and 100k cargo. That's when it gets really expensive. I'm just maintaining mine so it can continue to mature.

You also don’t have to worry about finding loads or paying any expenses if you drive truck. If you do decide to go the cargo van route, please let us know how it goes.

No touch freight is your best option. You get those from courier companies, loadboards, brokers, or direct shippers you can connect with. Most gig apps require you to load and unload. You can also partner with someone, a friend, a neighbor, or a family member to help you load/unload. Just get creative. Have the right equipment, don't be afraid to ask for help at the pickup or dropoffs, and you should be good.

I can't really tell you what to do with your startup money, it's completely up to you. I only purchased a more expensive van because I'm all in and don't want any problems with my van starting off. I also have a passive income to help pay my loan. You can buy a cheaper van, like 10k, especially if you're just going to do gig apps. It's always good to have extra money saved up. Do what you feel comfortable doing, but I've seen those 5 and 10k vans out here getting money as well.

What if you live on a border of a state but you use gig apps and it takes you into that state... is regular insurance still Adequate... Thank you very much for all this information... it doesn't matter how long the video is, it's a lot of good information in one spot, and if a stupid SoB can't hold their attention to learn what they need, because the video is too long .. well then they deserve to learn the hard way. These apps you can't look at any freight to haul until you get mc# etc .. am I correct about this

Did you buy your van under your business name? Also can you write off a sprinter van on your taxes? Thanks

I used personal credit, but I do plan on purchasing my 2nd vehicle with business credit and in my business name. You can write off, but I'm not an expert on that subject, so you'd have to contact a tax advisor.

I prefer transit. Just my opinion but ram tends to be a little cheaper.
