Hey Everyone! This was the best 48 hours that I have ever had since starting my cargo van shipping business. I know that it is so hard to believe that I truly made this amount of money but it really is possible when you leave the dispatchers and work directly with the companies that are shipping things. I also stated that we will no longer being offering mentorship program that I have previously spoken about. Instead, we are going to be offering a $5 a month discord program that also comes with a comprehensive PDF of how I got to where I am today with my business. If you are interested in the discord please DM me on instagram. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

That’s huge man. Private shippers is the way to go. The only thing I will say is please stress that this is not the norm in the game. This happens maybe once in a blue moon. Other wise we are just contributing to the over saturation of the industry. 90% or more of people who get in the game will never see rates like this. I’m glad you got it but with great influence comes great responsibility

I appreciate the comment, and I have been posting more videos about it stating that its not easy to get money like nor is it the usual but this client I did work for used to give me a job about 2 times a month. This was the longest one by far and it is less rare down in Florida cause they are located in PA. But I totally get what you’re saying and will continue to express that its not the norm. My push with this stuff is for people that do this to get the direct clients. I know that you have had good luck on the road but me and my 2 buddies have not and we just work on personal clients cause they have always paid us $2+ per mile. Stay safe out there and hope to meet with you in Sarasota eventually!

What is the wheel base of your Promaster? Did you buy a new van or used, I have been looking at the 159" wheel base. That would give me 12" of length, could load 3 48x48 pallets. Any thoughts on what van to buy that would be much appreciated.

Some places are starting to charge us for overnight parking wich is BS. We see the same long roads and hours as they do so we need to sleep to, remember we all keep America moving wether your driving a semi, box truck or a van.

If a driver transports an animal, vehicle or other personal property in interstate commerce in a vehicle or vehicle combination with a GVWR, GVW, GCWR, or GCW (whichever is greater) of less than 10,001 pounds, is the driver required to use an ELD? Guidance: No. A driver who transports an animal, vehicle or other personal property in interstate commerce in a vehicle or vehicle combination with a GVWR, GVW, GCWR, or GCW (whichever is greater) of less than 10,001 pounds, is not subject to the FMCSRs and therefore not required to use an ELD. Unless they change it. I’ve drove to Florida, Maine, and Virginia without it.
