I used to live and work in Saratoga Springs! Crazy to see some of my old stomping grounds on your page! My biggest delay was 8 hours, headed from Denver to Albuquerque, there was a wildfire in Trinidad, CO that shut down a pass and a couple other side roads.
The burbs south of SLC and Provo are growing. Lots of open space in the wild wild west!!! Only real problem is long-term availability of water!!! Seven states share the Colorado River Basin and there's been like a decades long drought.
Back in March of 2022 I was heading North on I-25 through Denver, near the I-70 exit and i was stuck in some inch by inch traffic for 4 hours in the box truck,
What's up my guy! L8ke your content. You and Bubba Joe keep it pushing! We bout to get into the game. Question for you, Why is their never any logos, or company names on vans? Is that a requirement? Just curious. Anyway be safe and keep those wheels tuning.
Honestly I just think since it’s not a requirement people don’t do it. And it’s not like the general public is our target audience for work. Plus I feel if DOT sees logos they are more likely to pull you over. I like no logos and all because it’s more stealth. People don’t mess with it when I sleep cuz they don’t know what’s inside. Could be a gang of ninjas or the feds 🤣😂🤣😂
@@ExpeditingAmerica yes I've been looking at alot of them. You, Van life exploring America, Everything Apax, DG got Hustle! Yall my Top guys I rock with!!!! Trying to get that knowledge from you guys.
Hey...just ran across the channel... done the 👍 & 🔔!!! Traffic sucks--- peeps getting outta Dodge due in large part to Hurricane 🌀...I suspect. Anyways - like the content and would like to know more about the expedite biz. Always liked road trips.
Hopefully my content can help shed light on some things. There’s a lot of great channels on expediting out there. I’m just adding my two cents. Thanks for watching and hope to see you back for more
Definitely like the channel I've been binge watching over the last two days since I came across your channel. I've checked into being a sprinter van owner operator there's a lot to it You got to have some money for buying the vehicle or leasing it. Definitely going to have the money for insurance so there's a lot to get into it. I live in Michigan so I can't seem to find any contractors that will take me on as a driver I drive from FedEx Ground right now.
Hey Brandon. I heard you say on a vid that you had fam in AZ. In that state you can register a vehicle for up to five years, in most counties there is no smog certificate needed, insurance is most likely more affordable and the income tax has just been lowered to like around 4%. Just some thoughts. Shit you can even get like a 15 year driver's license!!!
Thank you for watching man! It’s a cool business and I hope it works out smoothly for you man! Yeah bubba jo is the best man! Makes this journey so much better
Amazing how profitable this business must be the owner of the van, he making more than you without doing anything, but it’s still good money for you, keep it up 🔥🙏
Van payment $1100 Insurance $1150 Load boards $800 Oil changes $300 Misc $300 They ain’t making much more than me. It’s a pretty fair set up. Thanks for watching. New episode dropping tonight at 7pm
Yeah was stuck there for 3 days due to my dispatcher not having power. I’ll be posting that video next for sure. Everyone is safe and all damage is just temporary. Thanks for asking!
I"ll be honest dude, I don't know how I happened to find your channel. I"m not a freight shipper but have always had a interest. I'm a retired US Navy sailor so maybe it's the vastness of the open road that appeals. I have a great job currently but if I lived over there on the mainland I think I'd give it a try. What I'm wondering after watching several of your videos is I see your driving a Mercedes Sprinter Van and I believe it's a company vehicle. Based on your massive amount of miles is that the type you'd buy or something else? Cool job with your vid edits. Aloha from Oahu.
All the diesel sprinters are rated to go 1million miles. The gas sprinters they say about 400k the trade off is cheaper gas but less longivity. Ford transit is the only other van I’d recommend
Hi im owner operator with semi truck but I see your rates pay good compare what a haul through brokers question about what app you look for your loads thank you and good luck
Hey Bro , I used to drive big rigs. Flatbed. Looking into this . Can you make good money Local in Florida ? I don’t mind either OTR but prefer local . Thanks bro
Florida is the graveyard of loads. Lots of stuff goes there not much comes out. Local is hard in any state tho especially starting off. Most people do otr til they build connections with shippers.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car for you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
@@thomasovertheroad75 yeah man good luck. We only have one dispatcher at the moment but companies are hiring as long as your driving record is good and don’t mind staying away from home 2-3 weeks at a time
@@andresate6314 so would about 10-20 people a day lol. I work for a small mom and pop operation. Only 2 vans. And a couple owner operators due to only having 1 dispatcher
@@andresate6314 no doubt it’s a hard industry to get in as a driver. I just got super lucky. Wasn’t even looking for this job. It kinda found me. Most companies have long waiting lists of people who wanna try it out
People are funny when they ask this lol. Because that’s how the people I work for run their business. Plus florida is not easy to get out of for a good rate. We average about $1-$1.10 anyway. If you know how to win loads for more money (besides bidding higher) I’m All Ears friend
He won’t give you any advice bro you already know this! There will always be people trying to bring down your energy. Don’t mind these people or explain yourself. You’re telling your story. Keep it up and you will find your way
I bet this guy is about to tell you how you’re a part of the problem and you’re ruining the industry. Because there is no way the government and brokers and carriers mess it up. It’s all on you! The guy who works for someone! Smh people are lame
Who is your barber? That grape is scraped TIGHT! (mines the same!) You and Bubba Jo be stylin. I like that chuckle after you say you will be out on the road for 10 weeks. Keep it movin and be safe.
Please comment, ask questions, and interact to help boost the channel up in the TH-cam algorithm. Thank you! -Brandon & Bubba
Do you own the Vehicle or does someone else?
@@Shawnpd72 someone else does Ryan. If you watch at the end where I break down how much I made I give 35% to the van owner. We do a 65/35 split
I heard Olive Garden and I got to admit my mouth started watering for some breadsticks.
I stop there for lunch sometimes. Not a bad deal. Their breadsticks are tooo damn good
Looking forward to it
It took me a while to put this one together. But it came out pretty good. Working on the follow up episodes tomorrow if I have time
I like the way you get out there and hustle bro

Man you been rolling! 2k miles in 2 days that's beast mode.

There’s a Saratoga springs NY. It’s actually a pretty big city.
Yep I’ve been there a bunch of times. The guy was being a wise guy tho he knew where I was goin lol
Great horse racing town. Travers Stakes is a big event for three year olds before the Kentucky Derby and chase for the Triple Crown 👑
I was going to say the same thing!
Awesome!! Love Bubba🥹
He is the star of the show for sure

Hows it going for you so far ? considering getting into it myself
Another good video. The music was on point. Do you have a cruising speed for mpg or just speed?
Look forward to the next one.
65 seems to be the sweet spot but I do 70 most the time
Good job👍
Thanks you’re the man Dewey

Hello Brandon, I like your videos very informative and fun to watch I have a sprinter van can you help me to find loads?
thank you.
Thanks for watching I appreciate the support. Unfortunately I’m just a driver and my dispatch isn’t taking any new drivers. Sorry
Any trouble getting out of UT? Hope your fam is all good down in FL.

Thank you man enjoy your day
Why does the van owner percent change? Some times it’s 30% some 35% and I think once I saw 40%.
When diesel was really high they gave me more of a percentage
What happens if traffic makes you late for your delivery?
It doesn’t happen much but I just have to update dispatch with a pic of traffic and reason for being late. I only did it once.
Hi im owner operator with semi truck but I see your rates pay good compare what a haul through brokers question about what app you look for your loads thank you and good luck
My rates are nowhere near a semi rates. We use sylectus. It’s about $600 a month and you need a active authority

@@ExpeditingAmerica thank you for the answer bro, appreciate that
That's $3,639.30 after taxes. GOOD!
Hi what engine is in your sprinter?
Petrol/diesel? Thanks
Diesel
How much day it takes from Florida to Utah
Did you watch the video? Lol 2 days
Is your van 170 extended ?....
Yes the van I drive is 170 ext
Is a for transit good?
How many days here in this trip ?
I think it was two days I delivered in the morning on the 3rd. Does it not say in the video? My bad I miss those details sometimes
Which dispatch company you work for
A small one that I don’t name anymore because so many people hit them up. I say it in my old videos but not anymore sorry

I’m not sure. Being on the road so much I don’t watch tv or sports really. Who are you doing for? If I had to pick I’d say Philly will win
