You're on fire with these videos! Each one is better than the last.

Just a heads up on this video, the logistics industry just got hit with a recession last year, and the company that I'm currently working in barely survived (we handle mainly refrigerated). If this is the case, it's best to have a relationship or start a relationship with a company before you move on with anything. Have a plan, and don't be discouraged, but know the risk you may have. Best advice anyone will say is have a plan!

Hi. Do you really have a trucking company

@melhudson8448 Ай бұрын

Finding direct shipper loads is the key to retained earnings. In 1 year, I found 3 large direct shippers, with millions in annual shipments. Businesses that are inelastic to inflation, or consumer spending. So it is possible. The caveat. The broker mentality is not condusive to building long lasting direct shipper relationships. Turn down a load, or show up late, and thats the end. Few trucking businesses are financed in a way that makes turning away a primo broker load possible.

SOLID VIDEO GIL! Really enjoyed all the information you shared. Would it be possible for you to create and share a follow up document or excel spreadsheet with the total costs for insurance? Maybe share the insurance rates that you're paying from the insurance companies you listed? Also, another great video idea might be on detailing the free CDL grants or scholarships that may be available for new comers to get their CDL and start trucking in various states. I'm about to move to Tampa, FL and would love any recommendations for free CDL grants that may be available. Otherwise I'll be enrolling in CDL school through RoadMaster.

Great effort in sharing insights, but it feels more like advice on how to create a self-employed job rather than a true business. A real business should have systems in place that allow it to run and generate income even when you're not there. It's about building a scalable and sustainable model, not just doing everything yourself. Delegation, automation, and strategic planning are key if you want to build something that can grow beyond just your personal effort.

I'm going to make two points here one. You did not mention about California. California has a spacific requirement that you get their. C.A number, which is basically their M.C. Number. California requires individuals that either have. a terminal or home base in California or come through or go through have a CA number which is the equivalent of an MC. Now.

But some good ones were drag down with them. Owner operators have been continuosly beating out the mega carriers and forced mega carriers to speed up their governed trucks.

How crude is it to promote trucking when the industry is suffering from the last time these promos appeared. Truckers are leaving because of over supply and over priced trucks, especially class eight tractor units. Look at the cause and realities not the emotions. If you overpay to join at the bottom of the market you deserve what you get. Fall into the clutches of brokers. Suffer or think.

@Litcentral09 Ай бұрын

Bro I just watched a video of you saying we will be replaced by automated trucks . Now in this video you saying start a trucking company 😕

@Gill22 Ай бұрын

You misunderstand. I said automated trucks are what they're trying to replace TRUCK DRIVERS with. Not owner operators. Also, it's still a LONG way away (more than 10-20 years in my opinion... even then, drivers won't be completely replaced). The point of the video is to highlight the importance for truckers to develop additional skills outside of just driving.

Starting with name of the business the dumbest way to start trucking. Trucking required to understand how you will manage with such huge liability and such little profit merging. If you start trucking with thinking about your name and domain name you will be broke as hell. My advice do not get into trucking because it is rate race track!!
