Sprinter van business 2500 miles coast to coast in 3 days! How much money did I make after expenses?

GHBVSHVB124085480
My name is Brandon. I am a sprinter van / cargo van expeditor. I drive a 2020 Mercedes Benz sprinter van 2500 170 extended with a high roof for a small mom and pop logistics company. I bring my dog Bubba Jo with me and we hit the road for 4+ weeks at a time. Everyday my dispatcher goes on load boards and bids on jobs. I’m always hauling something different for a random company to a random location that can be right down the road or clear across the United States of America! I average 3-5k miles a week and don’t need a CDL license to drive.
On this episode we are hauling shelving and fixtures for a Puma outlet store. Starting our road trip in Richmond Virginia and driving 2527 miles west to Cabazon California. Along the way we see a crazy car accident but luckily the GPS helped us avoid traffic. We also stopped at a ancient cave with Navajo art on the walls and saw some incredible breath taking views. Watch til the end of the video where I break down how much the van made and how much I made after expenses and splitting the load with the owner of the van.

This has to be a joke

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Yep one big joke! I’m out here wasting my time. I’m broke, my business is going down the drain. Why did I waste my time driving for this company? I didn’t learn anything or level up in any way shape or form. What an idiot! What was I thinking? This is the biggest joke of 2023

[@buckzatm739]

@@ExpeditingAmerica smh, sounds like your butt hurt bro 🤷🏾‍♂️ but i understand.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

@@buckzatm739 I was being sarcastic as in joking. If I was butt hurt maybe id get defensive and call you names or something. I’m prob the chillest person you will meet. I appreciate you watching and your comment all jokes aside. I’m actually doing really well and now and owner operator making and saving more money than I ever have in my life. With repairs and unexpected mishaps. I was getting my feet wet driving for a fleet owner that I learned a lot from and now I call my own shots, write off most of not all my income in my taxes, and my KZbin channel is growing 20-50 subscribers a day so that’s making me money and I wouldn’t have this if I didn’t drive and pay my dues. On top of the Merch and other side business that branched off KZbin. I can’t complain. So to answer your question. No it’s not a joke and I got nothing but love for you buddy. Far from but hurt. One love!

[@joeschmo7957]

So here is some advice that would behoove you. You need to stop every so often and stretch. I know, it sounds corny and wimpy and inefficient. I tell you this as an M.S. in Exercise Science, every time you fill the gas tank, take that dog for a long walk and thoroughly stretch your legs, hips, torso and neck. You will be glad you did. Drive safe now.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I agree. I stretch all day long. Bubba jo forces me to get fresh air and stretch. Plus I go to the gym at least 3 days a week so I’m good on that end. Appreciate the tip and agree!

[@williamrobinson6680]

Nice traveling with you. Well done. Wish I had a furry companion. I think my trips would be more enjoyable. My personal preference in expediting is cash paid for trucks. There's nothing better. Sure, there's A LOT to be said for a high end rig specifically designed for the industry. But if it isn't paid for, it changes the entire dynamic of the profession. There's nothing better in life than pocketing 100% of the rate. Then when it breaks, you've got it. No sweat. Fix it, and make it up the next week. Older paid off rigs get a bad rap for being costly and breaking down too much, Lol. My $2000, 2005 3/4 ton Express rolled almost flawlessly, nonstop, while I witnessed late models breaking all the friggin time! HUGE repair bills. A very late model Mercedes Sprinter with a $4000 repair! You work way too hard, at the 8th (1-100) most dangerous job in the world. (Cops are 20-ish in danger) Keep ALL your money. Don't become a slave to this industry. The money you're giving up is the "hazard pay" portion of the rate! And whomever ISN'T paying for their fuel portion in this industry, is getting over on us. Big time. Godspeed!

Great content! And to the future drivers please DO NOT TAKE UNDERPAID LOADS!! IF YOU DO DISPATCHERS/BROKERS ARE ROBBING YOU!.#nocheapfreight

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Cheap freight is relative to someone’s operating costs. I know a guy who owns his van pays 700 in insurance a month and has no other major bills back home. He can make good money off .80-.90. Also sometimes people have a partial load and have extra room for another load. They can take that 2nd load for cheap cuz it’s a bonus for them. The best thing to do is not worry about what rate others are taking freight for. Just focus on you because that’s what matters. If people wanna take cheap freight let ‘em. They either know what they are doing or don’t and won’t last long.

Do you have your own authority!? If so how do you fave ur Dot on FmCSA I live in Utah and it been hard since I been having problems with the FMCSA since I can’t put that I have a sprinter since I don’t carry more then 10k pounds and I

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

In this episode I was just a driver. I transitioned to owner operator and had my own authority but enjoy the lifestyle I had with a carrier so that’s what I do know just run under my carrier. New episode drops tonight

[@MARCELOOLIVEIRA-lg2gv]

35% for the owner is fine...i looking to do the same ! let me know. good luck !

[@jpmackin]

Your load board recommendations please?

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

We use sylectus

[@caroldias1838]

Do you help people get started? I do not have a van. But i am interested doimg it.

[@jamestreanor182]

Pretty rough split with van owner, depreciation and maintenance is probably $0.15 per mile

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

That’s why having a good accountant is important. As well as getting the most life out of your van. These diesels are said to go 1,000,000 miles. If you average $1 a mile and do 150k miles or more a year ( bustin ass) that’s not a bad living. But yes fleet owners make their money off multiple vans running. Unless they are owner operator. That’s the key

You don't need a High Roof van because they could've broken that down more... it's just shelves

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I don’t need a highroof for this load yes you’re correct. But to say a high roof isn’t an advantage is false

[@generoland5032]

Do you have a maintenance program with anyone?

[@champion4566]

I like the hustle champ I used to drive 18 wheelers but I quit doing that and I'm thinking of getting a finger ran and do what you do same thing as a 18 wheeler but in a smaller better version what rules and regulations do you got to stop at any scales... Can you just run or do you got to log anything

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

No scales no log book we are under 10k gvw

[@champion4566]

You have any loads for me I'm out in Cali I am in the process of purchasing a spring event what do you recommend Dodge or Ford like your hustle champ

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Nice Job. How do you get loads? Name company

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I drive for a small mom and pop fleet owner. Just two vans. We have 3 vans signed on but that’s as much as we can take right now with one dispatcher

[@vhockada]

That’s awesome, do you work for yourself?

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I do yes sir Vance. Thanks for watching. New episode drops today at 5pm

[@bevonmcintosh7663]

Pilot an flying J luv the best... ? How much was payment on this load bro

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I put all payment and expense info at the end of every video :)

[@bevonmcintosh7663]

@@ExpeditingAmerica yup I saw! Good stuff

[@williamrobinson6680]

Myself personally? Don't get sucked into the high roof scam. They are only good for the carrier/dispatcher who can't afford to lose a tall load. Or a dedicated niche driver running 60+ tall x 3 EVERYDAY. Then it's a must! And really what it's designed for. Not the driver running varying loads. Reason being; It doesn't matter what size. If your dispatcher is a rockstar, he/she is fully capable of keeping you loaded. I ran a VW GTI everything in between to a late model high roof one ton ProMaster. It's a no brainer. In my VW, dispatch simply looks for tiny parts all day. And they're out there,...all day long! Pays the same, 3lbs - VW or 3000 lbs ProMaster. $1200 the easy way or the hard way? Your choice. Save fuel, insurance, payments, time. It's all in dispatching. Or, you can listen to those "gotta have this, gotta have that "... videos and be "cool." Running around with all the empty high roofs. Looks good though!!

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Scam? Lol I love the high roof not only for cargo but for comfortability too. I’m 6’ tall and I ain’t tryin to size down… what for? I love that I don’t have to turn things down. You make it seem like it’s a bad thing to have more room. Lol I live in this thing. Most my loads are 2 pallets or less and not that tall you’re right but at least 20% of the time when I was in sticky situation and needed a load it came through for me. But hey you have your opinion and I respect it. My dispatcher is amazing and I’m doing just fine my friend. :) God bless!

[@alejandrocomotto9770]

Hello. What do You think is better, diesel or gasoline? Keep otra!!

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Better? For what? They both do the same job. Ones cheaper to maintain, and one lasts longer. Not much more to say

[@memoirsofalegend5472]

2 full day ride for me NC to California.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Yea pretty much

[@THEBIBLEWAY238]

I have a 2006 e250 cargo Van. What percent of profit To consider the time you put in? Also what load bored are you using ? If you don't mind and are you using quick pay or?

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Expediting otr will be hard for you A) age of vehicle most carriers won’t work with b) size of van too small. You can use gig apps like uship shiply etc but as far as otr expediting it’s will be hard to do.
