How much time can a owner operator take OFF? How much time does a EXPEDITER stay AWAY from HOME?

[@sethleroyhustleadventures]

And exactly it depends on goals and what you wanna sacrifice

[@EverythingApax]

Absolutely! So much depends on the individual's ability to manage and work.

[@sethleroyhustleadventures]

Exactly 100% it all depends on the individual like you were saying on another video and that’s what I say to a lot of people too it just depends on the person

[@EverythingApax]

Yes! Many do not understand this. They think if they follow a 1,2,3 step formula it equals success. It's like a recipe. People can follow the exact recipe but the finished product is different.

[@sethleroyhustleadventures]

@@EverythingApax right that’s why I was talking about in one of my more recent sit down and talk videos that people who are constantly talking to me I tell them that is not the way that you’re going to get it and it’s not just following a couple steps I keep telling him that you need to just find what works for you and just keep hustling

OK, so would you be penalized if you work 2weeks on 2weeks off? Like kinda part time?

[@thisismagacountry1318]

It would be difficult to make enough to pay the rent or mortgage plus fuel, business expenses like insurance, repairs, regular maintenance, and building a emergency fund on just 2 weeks work. I did an 18 wheeler Monday/Friday and was comfortable. You can follow that template or do 3 weeks out, 1 week back (unless the market is unusually high, then stay out grabbing that money)

Hi sir, I am planning to rent a cargo van from enterprise so how can I get loads and how can I get dispatchers number . Unfortunate I tried to finance a cargo van but the bank rejected me . Thanks

You can’t do that it will cost you money to operate a rental. Your going to put 130,000 miles a year on that rental.

[@MohamedMahmoud-dc1gh]

@@speedyfinalmile Thanks, I am gonna try to get used one but after I get it how can i get loads .

[@speedyfinalmile]

@@MohamedMahmoud-dc1gh Don’t go buy a van if you don’t know how the industry works. Drive for a fleet owner first. Allen has about 30 videos about this topic. You need to call carriers and ask what size van they are putting on the road. Usually longest and tallest under 3-5 years old from manufacture date. Buying a old van usually means no contract and more problems sometimes before even earning a payout. If you have no experience and minimum cash drive for a fleet owner on 60/40 split you pay the gas and get 60 percent. The owner pays for the van/insurance and repairs.

[@MohamedMahmoud-dc1gh]

@@speedyfinalmile I got it Thanks a lot for ur valuable advice

[@thenewguyexpedites2566]

So if I'm hearing you correctly, you are saying that you always stay out the exact same amount of time, every time? And when you come home, you back the van up to the bank vault and unload the pallets of cash that you most certainly just earned over that time period? But I may not have heard you correctly if you could just clarify please. 😁 Happy Thanksgiving Sir. Take care.

[@WarrenJJohnson-tu7ck]

You are a funny dude. But you talk more negative about the expediting like you don't want people to do what you're doing. If it was that bad you probably stop years ago. Any Hustler can't do that.

[@EverythingApax]

I LOVE expediting. The reason it sounds like more negativity is that the reality is that over 90% will fail. This isn't easy for those not like me as far as enjoying every aspect. Obviously, money can be made, or I wouldn't be doing it. I've done this for 11 years and have seen so many come and go and the reasons why. I'm not sure how many of my videos you've watched, but I've mentioned many times how much I love what I do. I'm simply trying to help others by driving home the realities of this industry.

[@seanburdelik5216]

For one if you are doing expediting in a van you have no life . And for 2 it's really not a business to be making $50,000 or $60,000 in a van , those are not true business salaries there Sparky your ruining your health with inactivity and zero exercise living in a van , that thing you call a business might be the death of you being that overweight . And I don't mean that in a ignorant way , I mean that you should think about your health more instead of that mid- level income , it ain't worth it
