Week 7 load RECAP. Expediting in a Ford Transit

[@ridgerunner66]

Have a good weekend. Safe travels. Davin

[@EverythingApax]

Thank you! You as well.

[@ricks.1318]

That's a GOOD week for anybody, Allen !! You are also over 7k Subscribers ... and GROWING steadily .....

[@rubenmontesdeoca466]

Hey what’s up my brother I am glad u doing good and running goods miles we’ll stay safe out there brother

[@EverythingApax]

My dude! Hope you're well.

[@grumpy4316]

Not a bad week at all. You netted .627 cents a mile. I would have killed for that kind of net when I was a semi owner operator. I had an old Freightliner FLD that had constant maintenance problems. My net was in the high 30 cents a mile. I'm a big fan. Take care.

[@EverythingApax]

Appreciate that! I'm doing what I can.

[@ecoluhur2114]

Thanks for sharing. $$$ is 👍. Drive safe

[@texbarkley459]

Hell yea that's trucking 🚚

[@SR-bh5jd]

Looks like a Ford plant where your hot shipment is offloaded next to a stack of the same product, to be used sometime next month.

[@jerroddooley374]

Man that's those weeks that you're so sleepy and tired that you're nervous and shaky. I don't miss that. Came off the road and only doing local stuff for the last few years. I'm contemplating going back OTR, but that's going to be another 18 months. Gotta have some back surgery and rehab

[@paulcoalson7073]

Nice break down and explanation of the numbers Allen . Enjoyed the blues shuffle in the beginning of the video . The fork lift driver was interesting .

[@EverythingApax]

Thank you. Some of these tow motor drivers are hilarious to watch. Some are even scared.

[@woohoofromtexasharris4814]

Don't forget to tell everyone that Barrett only takes 3 year old or less on vans. 2019 is cut off.

[@interstategar]

That's a big a hit on the profits 1 van can make driving for Barrett it would seem.

[@Broney-tw3vy]

Yeah, but how much coffee did it cost you?? haha Keep up the great work! Your channel has been my main source of reference material for my decision making. I will own a 2020 Transit 250 high roof EL is about ten days and starting with a company shortly after. Thanks!

[@EverythingApax]

5 hour energy drink is my preference. Lol. Congrats on the van. Any company in mind?

[@Broney-tw3vy]

@@EverythingApax Yes, I'm starting with Tri State. I have a stable source of passive income and they don't "require" that I be out on the road for set period of time. I have other uses for the van and my time that require me to have flexibility in my life and they are agreeable with that. I don't need to make a ton of money with it, I just need to be able to keep it in the "asset" column.

[@Broney-tw3vy]

@@EverythingApax I am a little bit concerned that, with a 250 High/long, I will have enough capacity for weight.

[@EverythingApax]

@@Broney-tw3vy very nice! You seem to have it all in order. By the sounds of your situation Tri-State will be a good fit.

man you are movin. as always great vlog.

[@jeremyvarner6161]

I notice your fuel is way higher for every 5,000 mile is only 530 dollars. You should looking into a fuel card that give you discount on fuel.

You should have a swear cam and at the end of the week you can release a video with nothing but you swearing. LOL

Lmao! Omg that'd be long!

[@jerroddooley374]

You hustle your ass off man. You have to have that discipline to make money in expediting. I use to do that too man. I think I burned myself out and I just wanted to be home with my son.

My week started at home in PA to Auburn NY to Belvidere IL to Laredo TX then Los Indios TX to Kansas City MO. 3559 miles total pay $3200 after expenses $2600. Getting out of Laredo brought my average from .87 to .76. but I don't have much in terms of expenses just fuel, weekly insurance.

[@democracy480]

Which company

[@jimpantherdrivervickers5439]

Great week for you. I got 233 miles. Transmission went out on Monday.

[@EverythingApax]

Damn. Sorry to hear. Hope you're rolling soon.

[@jimpantherdrivervickers5439]

@@EverythingApax thanks, just finished with it yesterday...guess I'm gonna start back Monday, that's expediting though.

[@EverythingApax]

@@jimpantherdrivervickers5439 you're right. Hopefully you'll have a good run of loads for awhile.

[@qwilliams304]

Do you have a chart pre-calculated that give you your breakdown? I like that setup you display

[@Thehandsomeliberal]

Hazardous! How can a driver safely do nearly 6,000 in 7 days? Plus deadhead?!? What was the sleep time ? Just seems very unsafe.

[@EverythingApax]

Slept well all that week. When one knows how to manage their sleep and has a desire to put in the work it's not a issue.

[@Thehandsomeliberal]

@@EverythingApax that's averaging OVER 800 miles behind the wheel everyday for 7 days straight. Not counting deadhead miles. Cannot imagine managing sleep in a manner that makes that safe. In addition to sleep, it's gotta be awful on circulation too. Good earnings though.

[@EverythingApax]

@@Thehandsomeliberal we all have different sleep needs. I'll agree with the circulation concerns.

[@annseliger164]

At 50 mphx800=16 hrs. So you have 8 hrs of sleep time.

[@Thehandsomeliberal]

@@annseliger164 how do you get 8 hours of sleep time? You gotta subtract deadhead driving, restroom breaks and other stuff.

[@frankferguson9108]

Some of these guys out here do it for fun

[@EverythingApax]

Yes they do. That's why I said something to the affect of "for those out here to make money" meaning if money is most important. Being out here for the joy only is where I strive to be. That's what I'm working hard towards.

[@torqueinc]

30 pack of bush light and some astroglide

[@TheRatko5]

Great video. I'm interested in driving Expedited Van as a company driver. Any recommendations? Thanks

[@beechrgrad88]

Run hard a couple weeks out of the month. Then take a week off, if that’s possible.

[@EverythingApax]

It's possible. The determining factors will be your own personal finances and whether you're an owner operator or the fleet owner you drive for if not.

[@jerroddooley374]

Your hustle gotta be skrong!

[@EverythingApax]

Very skrong!!

[@TexasMan77]

Cool, how many miles on the van? Any issues? Thanks…

[@EverythingApax]

500k miles. Nothing major thus far (knocks on wood).

[@williamrobinson6680]

Definitely into the real juice at those net figures. But the driving required to achieve it is humanly unhealthy. Plus, you're simply shortening your equipment calendar time before the big one (tranny and/or engine fail). The Company will do just fine.

[@judegallagher2355]

Early in the vid there was a chime several times ,is that from engine light or seat belt not in use?

[@EverythingApax]

Yes, seatbelt as I was driving around the plant.

[@donstanley9943]

Question, do you have to have company name put on your van to work for that company? Also can you take loads from other companies while driving for company you are with?

[@fattie2550]

What kind of mpg do you get when van is empty?

[@harryallenpearce89]

Man I went 4,900 miles a couple of weeks ago, thought I was putting in a lot of miles.

[@EverythingApax]

That is alot of miles too don't act otherwise! How much mo...........mocha lattes do you like!? Lol

[@BossbrownD4L8800]

What kind of insurance do you have

[@kennykhan8400]

Hi Allen I wanted to know is there any heavy lifting in this besides the relentless miles 🤔

[@EverythingApax]

No. No touch freight unless you agree to do hand unload for extra money.

[@deantait8326]

My goodness, management on the forklift? Interesting, coming out of South Texas empty, in line for border patrol and this agent walks up to me. What? You want to "plant" pot inside of my bumper? Oh, okay. I going to jail? He laughed, no just want to test our new drug dog. He found it and we went on our wsy. Also, back 20 yrs ago, our delivery deadline was miles ÷ 45 mph unless specified otherwise. Let me rephrase that, no longer than average of 45 mph. I always figured approx 50 mph average, with traffic, fueling and ah, ah, a small bladder. Too much coffee equaled 100 mile range and hope for a rest stop. 😁

[@EverythingApax]

That's funny. Lol. Get it dog! Off to jail!😲🤣🤣 45 mph for time is ideal no doubt. Gives us plenty of time.

Alot of miles. ... u don't know if you're coming or going...

[@EverythingApax]

Alot of both!!! Lol

[@frankferguson9108]

I will disagree with that because ive been doing way less miles for more money then you just made so how can you say running long runs is the only way you can make that kind of money

[@EverythingApax]

I didn't say this is the only way to make this amount of money hence the part of the title that asks "at what cost". I said that sometimes it can put more money net in your pocket from volume but it shrinks the profit margin. This should be obvious that this will not pertain to everyone but does apply to many. Are you driving a van? Feel free to share your numbers with me and knowledge. I don't claim to know it all or that I make the most money. If you want to help me get to another level I'm open to listening.
