Daily Vlog: Day In The Life Of A Cargo Van Owner Operator Hauling LTL - Boston Massachusetts

[@joeyportelli7976]

Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s clear you have some trolls more invested in your life then normal. Infact it’s kinda strange and lame if you ask me. A man should never try and tell a man how to move especially as much as that James guy. Like you said buddy you never know what tomorrow holds. I like how you live by faith. I didn’t donate but would have if I was in the position to. I believe in who YOU are and I feel like the people who donated invested in more than an engine. They invested into YOU! Keep it up bud 👍🏻

[@joeyportelli7976]

Btw the food review is a cool thing. You were in my neighborhood. I’m going to try fast pizza

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Some people are just that way man. I pray for em. It’s sad…. Thanks for being a shining light! And I’ll try my best to do some more stuff for the #foodies

[@Donovan_Williams]

Ibedondededomaldada lol🤣

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

When I was editing I was dying. Glad someone got the humor in it.

[@FredCulligan]

😂🤣😂🤣 I died ☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@DeeHarrisOH]

I thought it was me. Glad I’m not the only one. I had to rewind it a few times 😂

[@DeeHarrisOH]

I miss the money breakdowns. Seems like more of a selective business. Gotta be very careful with the freight. All seems delicate

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I hear ya. I will do a breakdown of my routes, time on the road, miles traveled, expenses, and net.

[@DeeHarrisOH]

@@ExpeditingAmerica I understand. I watch mainly for the sights and to kill time when at work. Thanks for the videos

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

@@DeeHarrisOH thank you

[@EricA-tq6zl]

I caught the live for once! Ignore the haters. Keep God first! I love how you don’t lose your cool. Great video. We watched while we were trying to figure out what we wanted to eat tonight. We aren’t in New Jersey but we are making lobster ravioli 🍝🍝🍝🍝

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I saw ya man. Thanks for having my back! You’re a rockstar! Lobster ravioli is one of my favorites

[@chax2004]

Didn't know he had haters

[@EricA-tq6zl]

@@chax2004 haters, trolls, whatever you want to call it. I’ve seen the same kind of comment from the same people over and over on his videos. Just ragging on him for doing a GoFundMe like he forced us to donate or something. People need to grow up.

[@frankwells396]

Great video. Lol I didn't rewind for the name. Great gig bro

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Hey Frank I appreciate you taking the time to watch and drop a comment. I work hard to put together the content so when people enjoy it it makes it worth it!

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

@@brodie3088 lol truly blessed

[@dbsuperfanboy1315]

Seems like your load booker gets everything off uship. Pretty cool. More money is always cool.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

in the last episode I explained it we contract through chairish.com first dibs and a few other furniture retailers. I get my side loads from uship tho.

[@jimmieoneway]

Where are you sleeping, not seeing a bed room?

[@sarahtruesdale3290]

Maybe on the platform?

[@DeeHarrisOH]

I don’t see a bed.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Honestly if I’m full in the back I’m sleeping up front on bubbas bed. I built a platform that covers 2/3rd of the front area. I almost built my bed when I was home but will have to wait until next time

[@DeeHarrisOH]

@@ExpeditingAmerica oh no! How does bubba feel about that?

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

He isn’t happy about it and wants his bed back to himself. But when I build my bed he never sleeps in his haha

[@johngoldman5823]

Truly Blessed...

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Correct thanks for paying attention :)

[@blippacg]

Couldn't make out what she said, thanks.

[@sarahtruesdale3290]

I came for the dog!

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Most people do haha

[@SanjitT]

Great video!!

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Much appreciated. I have a new one dropping today at 4 o’clock Eastern time. Hope to see you there. I’ll be in the live chat.

[@leonardscarnato8257]

Hello. Is it normal that you have to bring the items into the house/business and then set it up? I would think that your responsibility would be to just drop it off. Going up and down stairs with large items seems like an injury waiting to happen. Take care out there.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Nope not normal or expected. I just do it because I like to and it’s nice to get a tip from time to time

[@dustinlampston7618]

6:27 bubba Jo: "I'll help you finish that ravioli broski no worries!!!"

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Lmfaoooo all that sauce and lobster woulda had him blowing up the van later. He def got a treat after tho.

[@chax2004]

Thinking you should get a bigger truck, but bigger truck means e-logs stopping at weigh stations and alot more bull sh@t.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I just added more space by extending the deck. I might get a trailer that’s 5x7 so not as much drag. But so far it’s working out. Once I get more time to work on my bed and a few other things I’ll be good

[@lennycordero8497]

Hi just wanted to know what is minimum insurance I need to deliver stuff? Prices are insane🤯. Thanks love what you do.🙏🏻

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

To do expedite you need usually a $1,000,000/$100k policy. Dependent upon who you work with. I just carry a $10,000 policy on goods through a 3rd party but this lane is different for every company you ship with. Insurance is a profit killer in expediting especially in some states like Florida.

[@Josh-vs7gx]

This is my dream job. hopefully one day

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

If it’s meant to be it will be done my friend. I pray success for you either way. Best of luck. Thank you for watching.

[@FredCulligan]

You made a few funnies in this one! Made me giggle

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Glad you enjoyed it Fred

[@FredCulligan]

@@ExpeditingAmerica keep it coming

[@argyle6674]

Great video. Looks like a great job, traveling.

[@SH0RTSNCLIPS]

Following since day one ur content getting better and better man keep it up

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Thank you. I get nervous putting out a different format and not focusing so much on how much I make in every video.

[@blippacg]

Anybody out there, I'm buying a 2020 Transit 250 (high roof, extended length). Who's a good provider for commercial insurance? Thanks in advance. All that moving you do with freight in your van, Brandon, is a good workout. That's important the older you get.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Progressive is the main one but there are others I’m not able to speak on them. But progressive is expensive

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Yeah I don’t mind it. People tip sometimes too. So that’s a plus

[@blippacg]

@@ExpeditingAmerica Thanks man. I'm at BiBerk's website going through their quote form. We'll see what it says. I'll call around over the next few days.

[@thebrownguy79]

You’ve found a great niche in furniture hauling! Keep it up!

[@lopati15]

wow simple to follow and same time im doing my schedules

[@chriscoons3258]

Looks like you and your buddy are doing well. It looks like your van gets very full. Are you able to use your bunk, or how are you getting a good night's rest? I'm going to redo my Sprinter and looking for new ideas. Currently I have a twin XL behind the Captins side running towards the rear. The bunk is hinged and folds up against the wall. I'm 6'2", so placing the bed cross ways is a little short. Sleeping in the seat is horrible! I try to avoid this at all cost. Thanks for the content, love it...

[@HarryF86]

I love this for you. You seem to enjoy it. Praying for safe travels

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

❤️

[@danielq9755]

Great video 👍 👍

[@johnnysnacksfoster7762]

Much love and respect to you and Bubba jo

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Much love always man thank you for tuning in again

[@dbac8891]

I watch every vid you put out.. keep it up. If you ever decide to hire drivers. I would love to work with you

[@ThatOneGuy-hp2pb]

Did you grow up with colored folk? You sound like a OG

[@tom_greenery]

Looking for an owner to hit the road OTR for. Any tips or know anyone looking

[@elyjohnmabohos4068]

Any companies that hire drivers with no van?

[@littwinn4065]

I bet u saving a lot of money on insurance now right ?

[@ToneyMartin-p5b]

Great video

[@briandjurich9126]

Couldn't understand her

[@Gbod87]

The LiL Jon pop-up was perfect🤣, I couldn't understand what he said!! But, great videos... Inspirational.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Man I always wonder if people will get my humor so I love when people point out the lil things I do in my videos to make ‘em laugh. Thanks for watching fam

[@danielalfredomoreno951]

Do you need a CDL for this van life 😅

[@dlt215]

No.

[@maxbrzuk6232]

Noce noce

[@VTRIGGERS]

Bro are you leasing the van? Or is it provided by your dispatch?

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

No I’m making payments on it.

[@danjohn6981]

I think a subscriber had him take over the payments

[@SprinterMann]

Looks like you’re still working for someone else and depending on a check a week ?? Why do t you just do your own thing already and get your own loads and furniture? Dot. Take it the wrong way.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

I get paid per job. Not weekly. The company lines it all up for me and I’m able to do side work too. It’s been 2 months and it’s working out better than before. It’s also a new and growing company with room to move up and get more involved or who knows I might do my own thing. Also hard to approach a company with one van trying to fulfill their shipments. Once I start saying I can’t do it they move on to the next. Which is why it helps having a network of drivers. The company is small and it’s working out for now. I’m building my side clientele and it’s working well.

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Also I’ve tried booking my own loads. Bidding and driving and going on hikes with bubba, doing KZbin as well as other side projects would be hard to do. I don’t mind allowing them to book, set up the route, etc.

[@SprinterMann]

Good for you man. All praise hopefully one day you can grow. Best of luck to you!!

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

@@SprinterMann thank you! Do you have a channel too? With a name like that you gotta know your stuff.

[@danjohn6981]

How is the van running?

[@timmytheimpaler]

TTFBJ!

[@MichaelSmith-qw3is]

Sounds like quit or not to quit is the question .....🧐🤔

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

❤❤❤

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

Man this is the most fun I’ve ever had doing any work. Now I get to visit family more often, plan my weeks/months, and I don’t have to bid on jobs to make decent money. I appreciate your positivity though 🤣😂

[@AmandaShowerless]

@@ExpeditingAmericaway too many miles on that van. And you know I’m right. Damn man. You seem Stuck. You should have kept the donations and let van go like I sugggested. This is sad. Peace bro

[@ExpeditingAmerica]

@@AmandaShowerless nothing I can do about it my friend. I’m not letting it get repossessed as you suggest. It’s possible I have a plan. Stay tuned. Maybe it will come to be and maybe it won’t. It’s up to a higher power at the end of the day but I’m going to do my best. Thanks for watching but I’m in the van until i make my next move happen. Have a little faith.

[@JonathanMcGuire-xq2bi]

I'm new to the industry, so I'm curious. Would you suggest avoiding the industry as a whole or just cargo van expediting? I see a lot of people mentioning too many miles on, but I never see things mentioned like that about the semi game. I know they make more rate per mile, but their fuel is almost four times the amount. Just looking for some advice. ​@@AmandaShowerless
