@Bruce Cole what's happening, Bruce I am 10 min from bowie also..I was driving box trucks 🚚 for 17 year's but I step down in got into the cargo van's 5 year's 💪 ...
Thank you! My brother and I just started our Box Truck business and your videos have been extremely helpful! We appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Bless you guys and take care!
Good morning Ms. Christy. I just finished watching your video on how you and Mr. Walter were successful with Amazon relay. My question to you this morning is how often do you run Amazon relay and would you advise a rookie like me to start with them
When we first started out I booked a load but realized within 2-5 minutes that I read the time wrong, and it conflicted with a another load we booked.....they Still held that against us ....but I learned how to read that board and never ever will I ever reject again....
Excellent info as always. So when you post a truck, and you get a load, does Amazon know not to send you another load because you've already been chosen for one or do you yourself have to turn off the post a truck until that load is finished?
Really excited over your videos very encouraging. We just started but would love too know more information how to apply for USDOT & Motor Carrier ex: Do you really need a Dunn and Bradstreet number?
Good Content, I'm new to Amazon relay and so far I got my first load last week, they haven't book me any more loads so far, don't k no why. I live in Miami and I don see loads over here. Do you know why?
You have to run 3 loads with amazon to get a score. Once you have a good score you will see all the loads. Try to keep 100 for early access. For now you have to constantly watch the loadboard till something pops up or search other areas. I wouldn’t just depend on amazon. DAT loadboard is a good board for Boxtruck drivers
I just retired from military and I have about 20K cash to get started. Please tell me what I need to do first. I would like to rent the box truck(s) first. My ears are wide open. Big Chief
Hi, you mentioned Amazon changed their truck criteria. I bought a 24ft box truck. Does this mean I can't run for amazon? Can you fill us in on the new changes I hear that are coming.
They say that the requirement is a 26 foot truck however I have yet to see anyone come out of that guard shack to measure my truck. The issue is, your subject to having 12 pallets on your truck and I honestly don’t know if they would fit on a 24 footer. You would probably have to break a pallet down to make it fit
My wife and I are extremely happy for you two! We are starting very soon. Just curious, what size truck do you have and how much did you pay for it? We also just subscribed because we want to keep up with your adventures and blessings. Dios le bendiga.
Yes it’s true but so do some of the OTR loads so we needed it anyway. I don’t remember a big difference. We had their insurance requirements from the beginning. Your insurance agent can tell you how much it will run you. Everyone’s is different because your personal driving history determines how much your insurance will be
For the Amazon Relay requirements , with the auto liability did you include the trailer replacement up 50k? Especially since you have a box truck. To get approve.
Great question. You get a temp badge the first time at me main entry from security. I have two videos that are a must watch. Watch this before you run your first load : th-cam.com/video/LAv1rQa3B58/w-d-xo.html To get a permanent amazon badge watch the 2nd question we answer : th-cam.com/video/bay_EaQ7rj0/w-d-xo.html
Can you use a reefer truck on amazon relay. Thinking get a 26 ft truck. Are the dimensions of trailer size the same on reefer as to dry vans. I heard there smaller. Maybe width wise. Any amswers would help
Hello, I’m not seeing my post so this may be a duplicate but I wanted to know was there a restriction on the age that your truck has to be to do Amazon Relay? I was told that my truck could not be old. Please advise
Quick questions, if you don't mind. You say that your truck is a 2007,do you mind sharing what kind of truck it is and what you paid? I'm in the process of looking as well as submitting for my authority, I've been concerned about the specific truck to buy. Are you financing or did purchase right out? Ive heard a lot about Cummings engine and allison transmissions, do you and your husband agree with those two components being a part of the truck purchase? Thanks and continued success
You have to have a DOT medical card if you’re driving a commercial motor vehicle www.fmcsa.dot.gov/medical/driver-medical-requirements/driver-medical-fitness-duty
will anything happen if you only want to use amazon 1 week out the month will they trip? or i’m. it obligated just because i have a account with them to do a certain amount of loads?
If your driving a commercial vehicle you MUST have a DOT medical card www.fmcsa.dot.gov/medical/driver-medical-requirements/dot-medical-exam-and-commercial-motor-vehicle-certification

Hello Mr/Miss Gibs, I'm in the Bowie area and looking into getting in this business, how long have you been doing it?

Do you post a truck on the Amazon load board?

Hey there. I just got a 24 foot box truck. So is amazon no longer allowing 24 foot box trucks. Please say it isn’t so????
I am in the process and i am stuck between getting the insurance ( got a quote 10 k a year ) and getting the truck first
That’s actually a great price. Believe me.
When should you accept the load when you get your route
When you are on the way to pick it up 👍🏾
Is it dedicated or can you run part time?
I just retired from military and I have about 20K cash to get started. Please tell me what I need to do first. I would like to rent the box truck(s) first. My ears are wide open.

Hello, I am Tony and I own a 15-foot box truck. I want to start working my truck for income... How do I start?
Great question! But too much to answer here. Please schedule time with us at www.boxtruckcouple.com
I'm a dispatcher and I was wondering is it sufficient for me as a dispatcher to contract drivers with Amazon Relay
How good are your dispatching?
Is it true that Amazon requires $2Million insurance? How much did that cost you?
Yes it’s true but so do some of the OTR loads so we needed it anyway. I don’t remember a big difference. We had their insurance requirements from the beginning. Your insurance agent can tell you how much it will run you. Everyone’s is different because your personal driving history determines how much your insurance will be

Hi how I can apply for Amazon Relay for 26 box truck

No you don’t need that with a Boxtruck
Thanks

Hi Jeremy, Yes you can. as far as dimensions I wouldn't know that but you can check the amazon relay website
Does Amazon Relay offer next day pay? If so, what are the steps to receive next day pay?
On some of their loads yes, but that is automatic, you dont need to do anything. Other than that you get paid every Friday
Mrs Couples
Hello, what is mother ship?
It’s a site that provides loads for drivers that are signed up with them th-cam.com/video/Pt1gEPmi2O0/w-d-xo.html
Does Amazon only have loads for box trucks at night? Im not seeing any day time availabilities..
Very seldom but they do. Remember amazon loads are delivery primarily to the post office so it will be over night
How do I set up consultation with you guys
calendly.com/boxtruckcouple. Follow that link, schedule the time, pay the fee and we are all set 👍🏾
if i got a rental for $480 plus 15 cent a mile, plus $2100 a month insurance you think i still got a good shot on amazon or Dat ?
I suggest mixing AMazon and other loads. You can’t live off Amazon alone all the time
@@TheBoxtruckCouple can you please share other good load apps or website
Sure,, have you watched this video th-cam.com/video/K8d523_8zmo/w-d-xo.html
Hello, I’m not seeing my post so this may be a duplicate but I wanted to know was there a restriction on the age that your truck has to be to do Amazon Relay? I was told that my truck could not be old. Please advise
To my knowledge there is not. We have a 2007, however Amazon would be the best person to ask that. I am not sure.

Hello does your helper needs a badge
Yes. You can’t get into the building without one
What GPS do you use?
Hi Daniel, we use this one amzn.to/3CSqlaQ
Can I use a 14 foot box truck or does it have to be a 26 foot
Amazon requires a 26 foot Boxtruck however there are many that use a 24 footer
@@TheBoxtruckCouple thank you
Question: Dose it matter if register the truck under my name or my business name ?
Either. It’s up to you
Either. It’s up to you. Personally for tax purposes I would do business
Do you have to have a cdl to do the longer runs with a box truck?
You need a CDL if your truck weighs more than 26,000 lbs
@@TheBoxtruckCouple my truck weighs under the 26000 gvw..so I don't need a cdl or an eld? Just have to stay in hotels for restart?
Why don’t you need ELD. Do you only drive in state?

Hi ma’am do I need to involve a lawyer to get my llc
No. There’s a link in my description box. You can get it for 100.00
Ok thank you
Anyone k know where I can get a box truck? Rent? buy? How do I get an Amazon box truck?I have all authorities.
Yes especially in Atlanta please
Christie, I thought a medical card wasn’t necessary if you weren’t CDL
You have to have a DOT medical card if you’re driving a commercial motor vehicle www.fmcsa.dot.gov/medical/driver-medical-requirements/driver-medical-fitness-duty
will anything happen if you only want to use amazon 1 week out the month will they trip? or i’m. it obligated just because i have a account with them to do a certain amount of loads?
No. We don’t run Amazon every week ourselves
you need to have a rental before you can get the Authority active ?
Actually our authority was active before we had the truck. You just need the VIN to get insurance
@@TheBoxtruckCouple thank you so much Appreciate all the response
Amazon is asking too much for what they are paying.
i thought you dont need a dot medical card if your operating under 26,000 pounds but im not sure , curious though.... do you know for sure ?
If your driving a commercial vehicle you MUST have a DOT medical card www.fmcsa.dot.gov/medical/driver-medical-requirements/dot-medical-exam-and-commercial-motor-vehicle-certification
