Ride along with me and Bubba Jo as we haul freight cross country. On this episode we book two loads on the same route. Since it’s a weekend trip and we can take our time we check out some cool restaurants, dog parks, landmarks etc. along the way. Watch all the way through for backstage access to PNC stadium delivering stage equipment for the “Greta Van Fleet” band that is opening up for “Metallica” on their tour! I also break down each job, what it pays, what my expenses are, and how much I make net.
Thank you to

Very good video. I miss doing expedited delivery in the Promaster. We loved it. Unfortunately it's was a very small company, 4 drivers, and he wasn't very good with money. I live in missouri, so it's hard to find jobs in the industry. I would do it again in a heartbeat

No doubt! Thank you for letting me know. Unfortunately nobody taught me how to do all this and this episode is old. I think if you watch my newer episodes you may see a difference. Either way I appreciate your time and input! God bless and I love the name!!!!

That guy playing guitar was horrible. $820 divided by 72 hours = $ 11.38 an hour. Yikes! The 16 year old kid at Micky D's wins again.

Yep that short term thinking and judging by the bad loads sure.this is a game of averages and doing what you can to keep the wheels turning as a “driver entry level” But I just looked back and that week I made $1580. Sure I gotta bust my ass but I’m not complaining bro. 90% of my income is a write off. And it’s not about now it’s about getting my own van and being an owner operator getting direct loads not load board jobs. Some times you have to pay dues and stay humble for a little while and work your way up. My channel is not to show a get rich quick lifestyle like most people think it is as a “driver” It’s crazy how when you keep it real and you’re obviously doing better than you ever have. People will still try and discourage you. Thanks for watching but like I said I’m not doing this for the NOW. I’m doing this for what’s to come.

@@ExpeditingAmerica It was his example not mine and it wasn't his only poor example. The guy seems very capable of doing all kinds of trades that could easily earn him $40+ an hour and still be his own boss. If he wanted, he could buy his own van and drive around every weekend.

@@richardmckrell4899 sure and I was doing that as a carpenter before I was doing this. I’ve also ran restaurants, managed bands and artists, and about 11 other things in my life. I enjoy this right now. What’s wrong with that? You think if i wasn’t making money or didn’t have a goal or way to financial freedom I’d stay away from home for no reason? There is a method to my madness. Best thing about it it’s my madness. Nobody else’s. I’m just here for your entertainment:)

Hi thanks for the video, it's very helpfull. I have 2 questions 1. If the van is yours, you don't split the fee right? 2. If there is no delivery on the way back home, you will loose a lot of money just for the gas to go back right/?

In these old videos I drove a van for someone. Now I have my own van. If you’re worried about being home this is not the job for you. To make good money you have to be out 3-4 weeks non stop.
