I'm currently a contract driver with Load One, working towards van ownership. Once I've achieved this,I certainly will be calling you to see if you're still hiring.

[@JKLOPQ]

I would say 80%+ is 1-2 pallets, but it's definitely better to carry 3+ to increase chances out of low freight zones.

You can still make money and not drive all night long. Been expediting since 2012, and I'm doing $140K per year average, some years more and do not drive between 12am and 6am. But if you can drive over night, that is a big plus because many loads require that and you can make more than me. Still.... I'm happy with what I make.

Hi! Love your videos! Please post the video on how to install E track. Do you have a video on how to track taxes working under another company’s authority?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

For cargo vans you don't need authority and authority has nothing to do with filing taxes. You just need to get with an accountant and they will help you with tax questions. E track just gets screwed in with screws to a wooden floor. It's self explanatory, get a screw and an impact screw gun and screw them in.

With 3 pallets there is no room to sleep in the van. Do you help with hotels on triple loads going long distances?

[@Eagle-Xpress]

No sleep in the van. Why give hotel your heard earned money? Sleep on top of the freight. Or take the mattress and sleep on the floor of its 3pcs. My van fits 4 pallets. I'm not worried about having room to sleep. Plus most deliveries are direct. There's no time to sleep while loaded.

[@brandondavis3866]

I'm located in southern california and I was interested in getting involved in box truck driving or sprinkler van driving. Do you have any recommendations on where I should start? Thank you

[@Eagle-Xpress]

I'd recommend sprinter due to better mpg snd there's more sprinter loads vs box truck loads. Buy a van and figure out who you want to load you with freight and lease on to a carrier.

Hi. Have a question?? Can 16 feet box truck use able for expediting?? And other questions is why sprinter or transit cargo van are expensive the GMC savanna box truck?? Please explain in next video,,, thank you

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Those small Box trucks are not as popular in this industry. Some people drive them but in my opinion there's not enough fright for them. Their mpg is bad, and you must take van loads for van prices in them to keep moving. And for van rates it's not worth driving them...sprinter is the best way to go in this industry.

[@zart3374]

What about non dot box trucks? 10000 gvwr puts it under dot value of 10,001 and above.

[@Eagle-Xpress]

We dont work with them because you can only put 1800lb of freight in them to be legal and they're gas guzzlers. Not worth it to run small box trucks these days.

We don't work with rental vans. And leasing one won't allow you to customize it like insulate it, build beds etc. Usually we work with owned vehicles.

[@alidwana]

There is hrs limit for driving per day ? For example laws require to drive 11 hrs so is this apply to sprinter drivers as well ?

That only applies to vehicles who operate with a log book. Sprinters are not under any of those laws.

[@JKLOPQ]

applies to 10,000lbs+ GVWR vehicles. Sprinter, cargo van, and boxtruck are under 10K lbs so they don't have the restriction. You can drive 24/7/365.

@@Eagle-Xpress starting off on your own in a big rig is a bit suicidial. Anyone who has the guts for it should just start off with a good company to get the expeirnece & save up (if needed) for their own rig. And you don't need to buy brand new. You can get used/rebuilt for much cheaper. Brand new = premium cost.

[@robertmartin1807]

You can do either one, but with CDL you need the experience and that would require you to Lease on to a carrier for a while and save up too much just to get you’re own authority. Sprinter van is the way to go in general to start, because why not work a little harder and make good money. Insurance, maintenance etc is much cheaper.

I am a CDL OTR Company driver for 10 years now, but have grown disenchanted with the trucking industry, and "wage theft" I can use a huge van for personal stuff anyway, ...lots in storage since divorce.

[@Eagle-Xpress]

Nobody in the industry can guarantee anything... Same as any business. Rates are up and down almost daily. Competition and supply and demand also dictates rates. Used vans are not 50k...theyre anywhere from 20 to 30k at very most. At least in my area they are. But in business no smart individual will guarantee anything especially in trucking. Business is business today it can be good tomorrow you can be slow. That's the beauty of business... Always a risk.
