I like the point of asking for more money. I am aware that "Shipping Wars" is for ratings etc. but my kids used to watch it. I always thought, "why would anyone want to do something for less than is being offered, if anything, I would raise the price." You just solidified my thought. Hope to have my authority up and running 1-2-22. Your videos are very informative and helpful. Stay safe out there.
Love this content. You are doing great work and putting out quality content while doing all of that. I find your videos very helpful and informative. I myself am working on getting into the industry and Im trying to do all the research I possibly can before I start, plus ai have a few things I have to take care of and get in order first. I am hoping to be out and on the road within the next couple months maybe sooner, but just wanted to thank you and everyone that helps along the way. Keep up the great work and drive safe.
Well, i hope the other vidoes are more relevant than this one... A, it's mostly a shout out to his boys and almost has nothing to do with the title of this video except for "go to the lumber yard and introduce yourself"... No great booking websites, brokers mentioned for "booking great loads" at all... And B, the 3 trailer websites have zero trailers over 30 feet and the average in this business is 40... Essentially, this video is just clickbait :(
Just watched part one and 2. You're doing it right. Follow up. Timely response time and communication. I'm in planning and business plan stage. I have to sell my wife. And myself. I can either buy the truck and trailer outright or finance them. Not sure what to do there. Keep the videos coming thank you!
So that’s is 100% a personal choice. I’m no expert with that stuff. I will say this, it makes sense in my head to finance them if you can get the interest low enough so that you have plenty of operating and emergency money. I appreciate the feedback and support too Jeff!
Great content! Like so many I'm getting into this business brand new. You mention Tarp more money, Dedicated more money and so on. How much more, by the foot? weight? size? Keep it up! Stay Positive!
It’s all figured per customer and per load. So I know my operating cost per mile and it allows me to say “No matter what, I will not go below this number”. After that, it all depends on the size, timeframe, destination, and how good of a customer they are for me. All those things play a part in my overall earnings so I must think about all of it.
Awesome videos and very helpful. Thank you for your time! I plan to be in business 2022. What load boards do you use? Would a 24ft PJ work for my starter trailer or should I go bigger?
Since he passed away in Sept. 2021, his family and friends are very thankful for this video. AND, support of family, friends and businesses does make all the difference in building a successful business.
You've been on my mind the last few days buddy!
Word of mouth and face to face positivity is by far the most solid connection.
I completely agree!
Thank you for all of the content. I've learned alot from you..rip brother

@@shipleytransport3211 saving for operating expenses makes sense thanks
@@littlemiamijeff not a problem sir. Good luck moving forward!

Just found your channel, probably my favorite hot shot channel. Fantastic content!!! If you don’t mind, how do you formulate a rate for the customer?
It’s all figured per customer and per load. So I know my operating cost per mile and it allows me to say “No matter what, I will not go below this number”.

Another good one!
This is some awesome videos
Where did you go Craig with Shipley transport
Craig passed away.
@@dougrobynshipley2476 how so? I didn’t know…
What factoring company are you using if you are using one
OTR Capital out of Georgia. Love them!
How do we set up with local direct shippers? Cold calling?
Good old fashioned leg work. Door to door. Business to business.
@@shipleytransport3211 Can we get a stand-alone video on this?
@@rafaelgutierrez3002 I’ll see what I can come up with!
Awesome videos and very helpful. Thank you for your time! I plan to be in business 2022. What load boards do you use? Would a 24ft PJ work for my starter trailer or should I go bigger?
I would try to be at 30’ at least personally. Check out this video for the load board stuff.

How do you go about getting local loads?
I just want to do local run....200 miles or less.
Old fashioned door to door stuff man.
Thought this was about booking loads not family support.

Yep, every mechanic I knows says "please do not send me any more business"
Pretty crazy these days isn’t it?
