Where do you get an $800 van?

I got it in Michigan. There was some amount of luck involved. I saw it the same day it had been listed, and as with a lot of cheap vehicles, everyone else was trying to get him to sell it even cheaper. I came with cash ready to buy it at his asking price. The van had about 330,000 miles on it when I bought it, and lots of rust. It was owned by another business before I bought it, and he had gotten more than his money’s worth out of it and was ready to sell it at a pretty low price. The previous owner knew that it was ugly, had extremely high miles and needed some TLC, but it was a functioning van for $800 so I made my move and bought it after a short test drive.

Thanks Mike

Thanks, don’t worry, I only went 50 miles over or so

Thank you!

Thank you man!

Thanks, I really appreciate hearing that! I probably would not have thought of that word myself, but I definitely take it as a compliment and something that I would like to maintain in the tone of my business and my videos.

Haha, no idea on any of that but she was fun. Thanks for the comment.

You’re welcome! I’m glad my very quick video was still helpful.

Thanks, appreciate you!

Thank you!

Yes! I have not yet found a definite load going up to Alaska, but I’m planning to ship the plane.

Thanks, I hope it doesn’t disappoint!

Thank you! This is a nice time to get that encouragement.

Thank you!!

Hi! I really don’t know anything about the stars or the organization, but I wish you luck with the chapter you are starting!

Thanks! Appreciate the encouragement.

I am in middle of nowhere Michigan! But thank you for the view and the comment.

Thanks man!

Haha, it took a while but it really wasn’t too bad.

And thank you!

@@senditdelivery no problem. Good luck on the journey I'll be watching along

Slow and steady wins the race. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks man, I appreciate the subscribe and you taking the time to share your thoughts. These are more honest, thorough videos and it is great to get the feedback that you like the format.

😆 I wasn’t going for that but I love it!

Haha, thanks. It definitely seems that this video got more promotion than others and it was cool to see the spike in subscribers.

Thanks man. I hope that the journey takes me places that I want to go and that it inspires others. I appreciate your comment!

I really appreciate you taking the time to send an encouraging comment. Thank you!

Thanks! I’m sure there is more on the subject that I’m not aware of… But I hoped to give you a few things to consider that I didn’t know when I first started.

Good point - after a bit more thought, I realized there are circumstances and people for whom an LLC makes more sense. My thoughts were directed more at people who, like me, are forming single member LLCs that are basically indistinguishable from themselves as individuals.

Thank you for your kind, thoughtful and detailed reply! I am beginning to realize that yes, there are circumstances and people for whom an LLC makes sense. For someone like me, an individual with very few assets at the time of going into business, let alone the ability to pay a lawyer to assist in the process, I simply don’t think it makes sense. My understanding is that my Homestead and my personal daily driver can’t be taken away as the result of a claim against me, and besides that I am in an industry where I am required to carry very high levels of liability and cargo insurance. If I really got into some kind of major trouble, I’m sure that a good lawyer could find a way to direct the lawsuit against me personally despite the existence of my LLC. Or they could name both the LLC and me personally in the suit. That would be the worst case scenario; if I didn’t have an LLC at least only one version of myself could be tried, because let’s be honest, the LLC is just me with a different name. I don’t mean to be argumentative and I really do appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and write out a thoughtful response. I am trying to express a reality that may be very difficult to envision from your end: while a good lawyer may be worth every penny that they charge and then some, it is simply not an expense that is attainable for everyone and to consider it a necessary cost of doing business would be to say that to people below a certain financial means simply cannot start a business at all. Although I am considering the wisdom of starting a business only after having a significant savings from other work, I hesitate to accept a system in which less wealthy individuals who want to be self-employed either cannot be or are victimized by those with more wealth and power. I have a personal moral compass that tells me that if I actually caused millions of dollars in damages to someone, and did not have insurance that should rightly cover it, I would do everything in my power to make things right whether or not I had an LLC that I could just shut down. I didn’t form an LLC as something to hide behind when rough times came, I formed it because I thought that was the proper thing to do if I was going to be serious about my business. So far, it has been more trouble than help.

What exactly is the ignorant decision here? Do you want to represent myself in court?

@@senditdelivery Representing yourself in court, the insurance company has an entire defense team on staff.

@@senditdelivery you've received good advice about LLC's but you refuse to listen to it. Also representing yourself is a fools decision. They have a legal team on payroll. If a lawyer wont take your case on a % basis, meaning no upfront cost, then you don't have a strong case. I want to see the little guy win, but you seem to be your own worse enemy in decision making.

Agreed!

Thank you!

Great

It depends where, downtown it sucks bc all the crime, but it’s pretty cool on the rims

Heights is the best area

Haha, super late response but that’s valid! I used to laugh at people with complex vehicle issues back when I drove a little old Toyota station wagon. I guess the joke’s on me now!

Agreed!

He loves it

Didn’t know there was a diesel - I bet that one is awesome!

@@senditdelivery there is a 425, 445, and 455…the 455 has a 22hp yanmar diesel!!…it was ridiculously good on fuel…I don’t have a huge yard but it’s not small either…it took me roughly an hour to mow the whole thing in one shot…one tank of fuel would pretty much get me through the whole year!..great tractor and there’s still lots of them around!!…it looks like your dads tractor is mint!!

That’s great to hear. He usually does a lot of research before he chooses something and wait for the right one.

Sorry, what’s funny?

Thank you bro!
