Is there a video where someone gets straight to the point? Sheesh.
I never straight to the point, it’s important to cover this topic in detail
@@ZimaletaMotors exactly..
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤔🤔🤔🤔
We pay 1.30$ a loaded mile here in houston...low driver is making 2500$ a week ....hustlers are 3 to 4 gs .....we only use pros no flyby night drivers...good luck
Great 👍
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING ..guess what...just installed wp and turned it on...now p0305 ..cylinder five misfire...woohoo
Wow that’s not good, what do you mean by wp
Water pump
Ahh I see, it is not related to fuel injector but wiring harness can do that misfire
As a master Ic i pay driver $0.85 a mile and they all drive 4 cylinder fuel efficient vehicles.
Van work I base it on weight pieces and mileage, and is always well over 1.50 per mile.
Nice explanation thanks for taking your time to explain, Question can you explain how prices for Expedite or Any local loads work to my email if you have time zimaleta@gmail.com thanks
Driving is concentration dedication, park and we will enjoy your video.
Yes I agree 100% with you buddy, thanks for watching and be safe
Had to quit watching after the 5th ad, that's just too much
Sorry about all ads TH-cam controls that part, if you don’t want to watch ads just skip them, but that’s the only way I make money on TH-cam through ads, so I naturally want many ads hehe
How much do you make per ad that way I don't skip any and watch them?
I make like .01 to .04 per add, it’s ok if you skip, but I have 120k views per month and the pennies add up, but I don’t do this for money I do it to help you guys, and I also enjoy making this videos, lol but speaking of free money who would not want it right, by the way speaking of ads, in less then a week you won’t be able to skip adds, TH-cam make lots of money on adds and now they will charge more money for adds, Adds will be short but you can’t skip them, This will be kinda annoying I know, but there is a way around it and it’s to pay youtube like 10 bucks per month to not have adds, basically getting youtube Red, if you think about it, services like Netflix and Hulu been doing this and making allot of money, it was only a matter of time before Adds became not skippable, Also less people watch TV, more watch TH-cam, this being said, I knew this would happen, I started seeing Ads that you can’t skip more and more on my channel and channels I watch, I knew they were testing this and glad to say that ads I got were short so not a big deal

You forgot the gym membership for showers
Lol good one, yes that’s true and I do have one but I payed cash up front for 3 years at LA Fitness
YMCA for showers
That’s great
Planet Fitness has over 1,500 locations around the country, and some worldwide. For $10 a month, I travel around the country, stop in at a Planet Fitness club, work out, take a shower, and go on down the road. Members can use any Planet Fitness worldwide.
I had black membership and it was 20 per month, I was able to visit any location and it was very convenient but if you can visit at 10 bucks per month even better, I have LA Fitness membership and I absolutely enjoy it, I like going to the sauna pool and jacuzzi, but there’s also basketball and racket ball and some locations even have an indoor track
But u get to write off all ur cost at the end of the year and depreciate the sprinter ...
That’s true
Thanks for this channel. I drove a 2014 Dodge Promaster 2500 for a company that went through Panther for a few months this year 2017. I was paid .37 per mile. Of course I had no other expenses other than my rent and food, etc. No fuel or repairs. the company was very honest and never tried to pull any fast ones. My point here is that I have been working a straight job for the last few months and I am ready to go back into the expediter van business and I am considering getting my own van. Panther says they will pay me .83 per mile if I work for them. My question is....have you had any experience or can you share any experience from other drivers that drove the Promaster van? I heard mixed reviews while on the road. Mine was always dependable but I heard others say they are not goo. All of the reviews for these vans are good. Also, would you recommend I buy one that is a couple of years old or try and get a brand new one? thanks for your time. P. S. driving in NYC is something I will never do again. No amount of money is worth that headache....
+69zenos1 thanks for your nice Comments, I really like hearing my viewers feedback, I am happy to have a place for drivers from all walks of life to be in my channel, first I would just like to point out, I am just speaking from experience I am not better or smarter then my viewers, I learn from others and from life experience and some viewers teach me sometimes:) but to answer your question about ProMaster, I hear bad reviews about it from all over, but here is my takeaway First off All ProMaster is Gas, and Gas is not best for Expediting, because gas cars don’t like long distance driving, but diesels do, This is why you see more diesels doing long distance driving like Vans Trucks and so on, Plus Diesel is more fuel efficient, diesel have better torque for up hill, Diesel engines can handle Allot of miles, like 500k for a Diesel does not mean much to me, especially 300k I drive s van with 1 million 165k miles, the Engine is not original well nothing is really but that’s not the point, the point is the original engine broke at 844,500 miles, and I was not the original owner, the van had allot of problems when I got it at 650k and it was already knocking, so getting 200k miles out of it was amazing because I was able to save up money and buy a new Engine and my house and all my vans and cars, not to brag, but I don’t think I could have done that in a gas van, All Cars and Vans Break there’s nothing we can do about it, but I can tell you this if your thinking of Expediting get a Diesel preferably a Sprinter van all Sprinters are generally good as long as you know what your doing and my channel is a good place to start, but one thing for sure don’t get a Ford Diesel, way to much money to fix, it’s a myth that it’s American and parts are everywhere, you will get charged big time, you can pic what you would like but I would not get a pro master, if sprinter not for you then get a Ford Gas with Ecobost it might last 400k+ and as far as new or used, it’s a tough call, it’s all about strategy I can tell you strategy why buying new is good and why getting used is good, but I like used if you can pay cash, I like used because I like freedom knowing I don’t have a payment to worry about I can spend time home when I want and for how long I want, so I pay cash for everything I don’t like debt, now on the other hand if you have no cash Using Debt is best way to make money, I hope this helped, I will continue making videos that can help, I actually have some videos on this topic, look in my expediting playlist
Never buy another man's problems
Absolutely right
Lol that is very possible
69zenos1 nyc is bad even in a van?
Wao im marking 101 cpm staying local driving my kia spectra i can do anywhere from100 miles to 250 every day and im home every day i work when i want.
Awesome
Doing what?
@@benzboss5668 a company that works with the red cross doing blood delivery
@christopher e thanks man I’m going to look into that I’m in nyc there should be a good amount of work for that.
I got paid 230 bucks to deliver 178 miles. Pretty good money
Edit:lso 509 to go from outside of Philly to outside of pittsburg (251 miles)
Can you assist me in finding a similar route within Pennsylvania
He making this sound like a bad business idea
Less drivers =more money for current drivers
You would be surprised how many think this is a good business idea and getting into Expedite, this is a great job if you enjoy driving and traveling and ok with being away from family for over a week or more depending on where you live, lol believe me there is no shortage of drivers, this is easy money and who doesn’t want easy money, but believe me when I tell you, if you don’t do it just right you will be out of Business just as fast as you started it, and most likely with a van payment or bad credit when things don’t work out, I seen this time and time again and yes I was one of them, and then I learned but it took time and trial and error
I was going to get into the business but now I think I change my mind
It’s not for everyone that’s for sure
Dang man, after all of these miles you're only seeing 4k a month? I made 3k delivering for Grubhub. You spoke about expenses in depth and that's all fine and dandy, but aside from insurance, van payments (if applicable) and barring a major breakdown, these expenses can definitely be manipulated to benefit the business owner.
Wow your doing great 👍
@@ZimaletaMotors I've stopped doing it and I'm looking to begin expediting myself. Your channel is pretty solid (greatly appreciated), but I was just thinking like dang that seems to be a bit low. Everyone's expenses are different though. Be safe out there.
Watch my recent 1hr video, if expediting is right for you, right now prices are even cheeper abd even less work
Is it possible to make a week at least $1,500 clean

I am a commercial truck driver but I want to be home everyday and was thinking about buying my own truck until I saw a box truck being unloaded at a reciever and started researching box truck. This is my new route an expedited cargo van driver thanks for the video new sub😅👍🏾💲
Is it worth it? You need to get at least 1.40 per mile or your wasting your time! It's better to get your class A CDL and drive a semi as a company driver for a good company like Pride.
hello I have a question for you I live in ny and I been thinking of driving for panther. unfornately I don't own a van but I hear you can drive for a owner and parther with him and he can give you a van .I'm only 25 I live with my mom for now but I wanna help her.do you think I can make at least decent money partnering with a owner using his vehicle? and do I have to pay for anything?.Because when I read panther website it says I don't need to invest for anything .would appreciate if you can answer this
+Michael perez yes you can work for an Owner Operator and make really good money, 25 is perfect age to start
Sounds like you are trying to steer people away.
+Chowchilla Charlie away from what
Chowchilla Charlie I agree. I feel extremely discouraged and it almost feels intentional
+Justin Ramsay sup Justin, what are you discouraged about?
Not really he's just trying to tell you not to work cheap you will be out of business soon and you affect other drivers by accepting this low rates
Yep I am glad you understand
Safety first! -- Do not drive while you record a video. No bueno!
Your right
Which load board for expedite truck under 10000
damn this is sort of discouraging why the hell would you even get in this business if you got all these expenses and crap?
You think this is bad wait till the next video I got planned it’s much clear picture with expenses and it clearly shows that even at .80 per mile your not making money it in a brand new van, all business have expenses but this business no one really gives it a second thought, it looks to everyone like oh I can just get a Van and Insurence Fuel it up and go, but Vans are expensive, they depreciate, you will put 150k miles on it first year, next year it will start breaking down with no more warranty, Then you got the cost of fuel, that can be as much as 20k per year, plus some people pay $18k per year just for insurance, then 2 years after buying your 40k to 50k van it has 300k miles on it, and you feel like getting out or a trade in, but you will get up to 15k for it or less then a 35k deprivation loss, and I am just getting started. Then you got to think of this other thing, you will work over 90hrs per week but don’t get over time, and stay on the road up to 3 weeks or more, sleep in the hot or cold van, and don’t get to go home after the work is done, it’s like the clock never stops, in reality your better off getting a minimal wage job with over time at 60hrs per week you will make double what the van guys make and not have any expenses and get to go home every night and have a life, You don’t have a life with Expedite or Trucking unless you enjoy the road and always being on the road and travel
Damn
Love your breakdown brother, but please, next time, just for the drunk Russians please give us a low and a high in the beginning and then go into details!!
I would love to do that, this video I was prepared with notes but I had to drive with a load, I tried my best, but I get it
Do you need a DOT or MC number for this business? Or can you pretty much just hit the road
Just hit the road
If you have air brakes, yep!
Class B
I remember back in the 90's Company pay truckers were paid
0.80 - 1.00 a mile owner and operator 1.25 - 2.00 a mile.
Then in 2000 I've noticed a big drop and it has been declining ever since. But I noticed that most so called Hotshot big problem is with the importance of insurance. This is why they cant find other ways of getting loads. Anyone can jump into a 1 ton with a 35' trailer and haul pipe to the oilfields.
To make yourself more available get insured!
Yep your right that’s what I noticed
So basically this job is not for northern states for example new york and new jersey has tolls everywhere and they go as expensive as 15$ just for one passage.... so that would to around 70$ per day
Yeah you right, that does suck, but you can take a load from New York and just drive around the country till you come back
@@ZimaletaMotors can you drive to many different states or do u have to stay regional?
And even if you do your own maintenance you should be calculating the hours as an expense . Time is Money
Yes always
I have a cargo van I live in jersey how can I get work
Watch lots of my videos, I explain more then you will need to know
I have a question for you I have a Sprinter 2005 I want to put the engine since 2003, something to me that is not there that I need to change
Charging enough for your time. So if a breakdown happen you ready and prepare for it.
What do you mean?
Appreciate your efforts but man way to much talking. Said you wrote it down so you wouldn't do exactly what you did do. Anyway stay safe.
Haha lol next video I will use flash cards 😂

I was heading to buy a Sprinter a few months ago.but to be honest with u I couldn’t find good company’s or brokers to work with them, I was working with Millennium Co but they couldn’t let u bet 80c, even something when u bet 50c couldn’t grab the load. Actually because I couldn’t find good or fare pay company’s I decided to more research with this type of business, because if u can’t find load then means u can’t make money and regarding you , all cost in maybe around 1800$ every month. So u need find out some company’s can make u satisfied and busy over the roads...
Smart move, it’s getting ready to be very hard to find loads even worse then before, this is not the time to have a van payment
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW SPRINTER HELP
Is that u think?
This guy is scaring the beegeebees out of me. He is driving while making the video and holding a notebook and reading from it.
As you can see the notes was for reference only I memorized all numbers
he's NOT moving
Lol
Not a disrespectful way but you can be uber deiver can make it
I own a one man with a van Courier/light freight delivery business. I also do letters, medical specimen etc., delivery. What's the difference between my format and an Expeditor in general.
Not sure, sounds like your doing it local which is nice Expedite is long distance, you can make more long distance but it’s better to work local
I have a couple of vans sitting idle ,how can I get into something like that?
Watch my videos it’s full of information like that good luck buddy
Can you inbox me on Facebook bro? Scott Summers is my name you’ll see a blue and white picture I have some questions for you
I tried looking for you on Facebook but there’s thousands of people with your name, so here’s my Facebook link facebook.com/cccpserge
Hello my name is hector, and buying a pro master early next year. Question
1st- can I used a ram 3500 to do the the same thing expedite.
2- do I need to get commercial plates on van or truck doing expedite.
3- what is the max weight u can carrier in ur van.
4- do u fill out logs
5- do u have to enter weight stations I have been told that , no logs and no weight stations.
6- what's the name of ur or the company you ran for.
Thxz for any info u may give me.
+Hector Hernandez +Hector Hernandez hello Hector this information is really easy you don't need any special plates you don't need a special license you don't need to stop at way station
max Weight is
3000lbs for 2004-2006 Sprinter
3500lbs for 2007-2017 Sprinter
Pro Master can do 5000lbs according to every driver I spoke to and it's much wider between the wheel wells
Here's my recommendation how I do it, I don't take over 2500lbs and if I come to pickup its little more anything up to 3000 lbs is ok, so I will take it, and I might ask for more money,
Here's why more weight is more were and tear on your Van,
Tires were out faster
Breaks and bearings wear out faster
More stress on your transmission and drive shaft and Diferancial
Pro master has no drive shaft or rear Diferancial
Your Engine has to work harder
I know this is all common sense but I must say it.
Something I will add is a story, a friend of mine with 2006 Sprinter took a load and they said it was 3000lbs but they lied it was way more, and he started driving, and it cut his lug bolts clean off and his sprinter fell to the ground on the rear, the front was ok
You might wonder what load it was, it was musical equipment going to some concert or a show, basically no pallets, they just loaded bunch of stuff and that's it
My recommendation about Pro Master, disregard if you will trade in every year for a new one
1st pro Master Problem at 100k miles Transmission
And about 150k engine starts having problems
This information from not happy drivers, some are friends of mine, that at this stage don't know what to do, in most cases no more warranty and having problems
Information for FordTransit Eco Boost Gas model
It's good till about 460k then you will get problems, this might be a good van to get, but keep in mind with this miles your still with payments 2-3 years left unless you payed cash, this is something to consider
My best advice, buy Used it might be ugly but pay cash for it, you make same money with used as you do with new van, think about it like this, it's a work Truck, your not going on a date with your Girl in it, Note, I actually went on many dates with my wife in my van lol but that just me lol
If you need any more info please let me know
Company good to work for, there's many good ones
I work for Carolina Logistics (910) 745-7824
Last but not least, before buying a van you need to do 2 things, first check with a company that you want to work for, will they work with this van, 2nd what Insurence they need, Then check Insurence rates, I am not kidding, depending on where you live Insurence cost as much as $14,000 per year, so this might be a deal breaker for some of you, I will make a video on this, to explain better
When I started I got payed 120-180 per mile and Insurence was $6000 per year
But now guys take .60 per mile and get a new van with expensive insurance, I don't know how they make it, my opinion it's a bad business model, and just one break down, you can lose 2 weeks to 1 month of work, not to mention your bills, what will they do then,
This is why I can't stress it enough .80 is minimum and try getting.95 to $1.00 if you got a new van, or you just won't make it after 2 years or less, plus Diesel is always going up and Insurence is going up, cost of living is going up, and vans are way more priced now now then when I started
I started with brand new 2007 Sprinter Extended loaded with options I payed $38000 for it
To figure the weight you can haul you need to get a full tank of gas and no freight on board. Then go to CAT scales and weigh your van. Subtract that from your gvwr. Most 350 or 3500 series vans will have gvwr of 9950. Your empty weight subtracted from that is what you can haul to stay under 10k gvwr.

I know your intentions are good but try to make straight to the point and short.mist of us know Ali about expenses .make it short
Ok
You talk wayyy too much.
Constantly repeating, Video recording while driving with one hand & notebook is dangerous an irresponsible.

Hopefully its soon
You didn't told us how much you make per week or per month after expenses 🙄🤔
+Freedom 4 All what I make and expenses will be different from yours, Sprinter main Experience is Fuel, Sprinter Payment if you got one, Sprinter service Oil Changes etc... filters and such and break downs parts and labor, then Insurence which is different for everyone, some pay 6k per year some $14k per year, if you want to know my experience
No Mortgage Payment
No Rent Payment
I own my home
I own my Sprinter
Insurence is $147 per month
Fuel is $1500 to 2000 per month
Oil changes, maintenance and service Free, I just pay for the parts
Could I have a major break down and not do maintenance myself, sure I had this many times in the passed, I learns from it, now I share what I know so you guys can save money
So you want to know how much I make per week after expenses $2k per week sometimes more sometimes less, it’s expediting we have busy weeks and slow weeks, I am in same boat as you guys, I share what I know with you guys, and some of you share what you know with me, we can all learn from each other, and oh yes I drive for .80 some guys drive for more with newer vans, but you got to ask for more if you got a new van at least .90 because just .10 is 1k extra in your pocket for month that can be a sprinter Payment. A buddy of mine drives a 2015 and he goes for .90 .95 and sometimes 1.15 per mile, he works with 27 companies at once’s, phone is going off like crazy so he don’t care if he gets told no, he gets that all the time, but he still gets the price he likes
@@ZimaletaMotors do you still doing the job?
Reason of your video is to scare the crap out of drivers!
hello. my name is chris im a truck driver otr but i want to get into sprinter van expediting. i have question and it look like you know what u talking about.
+KrisTheLegalHustler hi there what questions do you have let me know I will make a video about it
Mercedes Benz Sprinter fatal flaw is directly related to the components involved with their exhaust system. The cost in maintaining and repairing these vehicles is a staggering average of ten cents per mile. Compare that figure to less than two cents a mile for that of their American counterparts made by Dodge Ram’s ProMaster and Ford’s Transit.
Yes but if you get a Ford diesel you will have same problems, also promaster gas is not reliable
Joe Patroni I read in a professionnal car review that the promaster is not reliable at all. It breaks all the time. It’s a Chrysler (Ram) and this company has the highest recall rate of all the industry. So, better fix ONE part once in a while than fix tens of parts regularly, no ?
@@laurentcambon Agreed
How about for Straight Truck? i hear it's not worth being an owner op for 26 footers due to limited freight. Any idea?
I can’t say for sure but it’s bad for everyone
Can you make ok money doing just 3-4 days only
Yes and no, this job is hit or miss, and sometimes luck, 3 weeks is needed per month to do ok
I'm thinking of getting a freightliner sprinter but what specs should I get? Whats the industry standard minimum payload and minimum standard length?
4000 a month I drive a rig for a company and have to worry about dot and going through scales I take all the risk with no rewards. So what your doing is better then I. I have to carry cdl license with all the responsibility for a truck thats not mine and have to work when they tell me to. Your doing great.
Buddy i make $640 a route. Worth 312 miles. And for 312 miles with a disel truck your not spenind more then $100 on gas and food i dont even count no one eats more then $50 in 6-8 hours. So your still pulling $500 a day/night for 6-8 hours of work. Thats $2,500 a week. $10,000 a month. Minus insurence and truck payment your still hauling more then $6,000 a month. No one pays more then $500 for truck payment with $20,000 value. Insurence cargo included shouldnt be more then $600 a month. So your math is a bit off unless your driving for FedEx with $60-$80 route which to me is pointless even with their truck. But even to that you will still make $200-$300 a day. So sorry bud but your math is off. With 26ft box truck if your making clean under $5,000 a month your doing something wrong.
Good job, looks like soon you will get many questions from drivers how you manage to make so much money, your saying your numbers as if your staying consistent, if you are then your one of the lucky ones, even I don’t make what you make, I make $300 per day average after fuel
First time I heard someone about close to it that $2500 can be made in a Cargo van and depends area a box truck $2.50-$4.00 a mile that's normal.
That’s a nice rate for a box truck
@@ZimaletaMotors are you familiar with load boards for ltl
Know your numbers. The people that have saved money, want the road runners starting out, they already know once you get into their system you are making them money and in the end you will lose. So many people do not see the over time development of our structured failures. Learn the numbers. This video a little topic jumpy but truth, and point on. Great video.
Thanks so much, your exactly right, and I guess what I really should have mentioned that if I knew what I was sharing in this video 10 years ago, I would of been in allot better shape sooner, but instead I wasted many year expediting without no real out come, the only thing I got is enough money to cover the bills, and sometimes I get lucky so I made extra to have fun money, so I was always wondering why am I not making much money if I am seeing this big pay days but no money in bank, over the years I tried different things and the outcomes were different, maybe I should make a video on that, because the important message that I want to spread is, if you do this right you will more then pay your bills, you will have money to buy everything for cash like car and a house, sometimes I still wonder am I doing it right, and the answer is I could be doing a better job so I am always looking at what else I can improve in my life to make more money, truth is I can do even better but that means taking more risk, like hiring a driver or 3, and I just wonder do I really want to go that route, that’s never ending head ache day in and day out so even do I have one more van to put a driver on, the van just sits there waiting for me to make up my mind, and maybe I will, because technically I can hire 2 drivers to take over my 2 vans I own now and sit home and do what I do, build and fix sprinters, you might be wondering what is stopping me from this, and the answer is Insurence, Insurence is the biggest thing because it’s expensive and drivers get into accidents and the owner is still responsible for it, so Insurence will go up, the other thing is break downs
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING there are many paths to the same goal. It just depends on what you decide to do. There is a wealth of information out here and yes the common thread is the one guy Trk is being corralled off to think this is all there is by some one with more experience, wealth or influence in a Area. Their are very few that say this is the best then look back and see they are not much better off the when they started out as a company Guy. They drive the truck, never looking at a rate or just how the way things are working out effect them. Best of luck, and thanks again for breaking the numbers down and how they relate to the real world of transportation.
Your so welcome
man I think the number one thing is finding the right driver the driver carries you a long way if he is a good driver that takes care of everything and it's hard to find good drivers anymore I'm a good driver I take care of every truck I have ever driven and I can't hardly find a job now just because drivers don't take care of the truc
there is a group of expediters i watch like tim xpedites ,everything apax ,expedite travels they always talk about not accepting cheap frieght. Zimaleta are you leased to a company or go on your own?
+Ali Soud I am Owner Operator, I guess I am leased on, but I name my own prices, and more times then not they counter offer with cheaper rates and make claims that .70 is the going rate for locations like Texas, California, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and much much more, and that's just not true, a going rate is how much we are willing to take, and if drivers willing to take less then that sets the Bar for everyone else, I will continue making videos like this to get others attention so that we can stop being taken advantage of, it is getting to the point where it's hard to make a living and that breaks my heart, keep in mind I own my own home and sprinter I have no major Bills, but I still won't drive for cheep, I want other driver to be able to make a living and get out of debt and stop being a slave to the road, we already drive sometimes for months at a time and we barely get family time, this hurts our family relationship and it's not fair we should be able to be with family more often and be able to afford it by having extra money left over
ITS NOT WORTH IT MY FRIEND,,,, YOU MAKE MORE MONEY WORKING FOR DUNKING DONUTS.
That’s true
thank you for sharing this well presented information.
Your so welcome
Every one is making videos, I'm a truck driver looking to get in the van delivery business, but I can't find out how to get loads
Hey, amazing video
The rants are out of control
These are the same rules for uber/food delivery app drivers LOL. Uber aint the problem guys.... It is what you accept from the broker/Uber Example .... PING pick up 15 minutes/8 miles away .....you would be smart to decline that pickup and hang back or move to a better area.
👍 yep exactly
Thanks for the like Zimaleta. I will be driving a Sprinter and a straight truck for a company in the coming months for delivery and coming from being a 1099 Ubereats driver I have some ideas. Thinking about getting a good used van. (I have worked as a track and trace clerk and got sick of the office). I think I may be in a good situation being single and having knowledge on the planner/tracking side and smart deadheading.... to do expedites. While I get used to driving a sprinter and straight truck (Class C) I will check out all this stuff. I already do a lot of my own maintenance on my car. Just got done replacing rotors and pads the other day. Also gotta get my tire checkIt is what it is.. lol.
That’s great, sounds like you got it all figured out, it looks simple but it’s not, so good to have a plan like you
got my class c permit and will go get my c license soon. That way I will be able to drive the smaller straight trucks too...... even though I have just been wheeling around the city in a straight truck anyway.... :/ Also getting my med card. I think I will try to get on with an owner for a while and build up enough money to buy a Sprinter, Pro Master, or a Transit. The food delivery and my 1099 experience makes me not really want to be a company driver lol.
Don’t buy a pro master
This guy knows business
Thanks
No Mani No Hani!
Hello. I have a cargo van, is it good money in expediting? Is it simple to find jobs as an expediter?
You just find a company that will lose your van and just do it, but not sure if it’s allot of money in it now
21:03 barely make ends meet
Sad but true
4500 is not worth it
Hey Zimaleta thinking about getting in the business .I would like to Shadow with you.
That’s great, what do you mean by shadow
I wanted to get into starting a expediting business..any tips on which kind of Van or sprinter to buy . Should I buy new or used sprinter or Van ?? How do I get load? Need help
Hello, thanks for watching, Expediting is a great business to get into, and is profitable if you do it right, about new or used van it’s up to you, I tried new and in 2 years it was old breaking down with 380k miles and then I bought used, it still breaks down but no payment, and by fixing it my self I save money, if you can afford it, my advice my used, if you can’t afford it, then buy new, you will get into business and can relax for 1 to 2 years by not getting breakdowns, but what ever you decide let me know, and if you have questions just ask
How do I get a company to haul for and what the lowest year model sprinter is required
All companies are Different, best to ask the company you would like to work for, best place to start is expeditersonline.com
Hi Serge, I sent you a message on facebook (messenger).
Thanks I don’t do much Facebook but Instagram and youtube plus email I check more often
25 for food is too much
How much do you spend for food each day lol I think $25 is just fast food eating 3x per day, but I like to eat right and eat salads slops and steaks and that adds up quick so I am easily over 25 per day, not to mention Starbucks coffee and snacks
You forgot to add your TH-cam video
Which one lol 😆 I always forget, thanks for watching and actually catching that
Thanks for the video
Do you think that lasher ship is a good company? I’m about to start doing delivering packages. Mi firs time
O and i live yiur channel on the maintenece part..thank you.....i have a 2014 promaster dsl , a 2016 chevy express one ton and my back up vehicle is a 05 sprinter which i am restoring for myself
what is the best application to find freight for a sprinter van?
I don’t know
How can I find freight?
What’s your experience
Stride Drive ppl
Yep
Talk tooo much you should make short and clear u where try to kill your mileage drive that why been talking too much I just foward every time sorry bro . Make another short video you are smart but talk tooooooooo much 😀
Lol I appreciate constructive criticism, believe me I am trying, but thing is I speak my mind I don’t really plan any videos, but if I have a script I can make shorter video, I am thinking of making 3, 5, 7, 10 minute videos
Yeah the TH-camrs that gets large numbers of subscribers normally have 10 minutes video, people come here to get a variety of info, don’t want to watch soap opera, all due respect, make videos of 10 or less minutes length you will see your subscribers numbers rise.
Thanks for the advice, I am starting to make shorter videos, you might notice it, unless it’s a Live stream then I make it longer
you can write off 60 dollars a day for food, see your tax pro
+John Leitaker yep $60 give or take it’s called per dean
The new tax law does not allow that. It's called PerDiem.
DON'T READ AND DRIVE!
You are an accident waiting to happen!!
Yes PerDiem, but I don’t even write that off I just write off Miles
Non commercial per deim is only 29.00 per day
How do you find hot shot loads once you get your truck
I work with a logistic company
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING what company
What logistic company do you recommend?
It all depends, mill House is good
Maybe...i did spray the engine where i was working with water
Ahh I see, yes, washing an Engine can cause some problems, that’s why I don’t wash mine, check your connection to injector, it possibly got lose
Less pay is because of more competition. You have so many people expediting, even retirees are doing it. U also have some expediters that will haul for 65 or 70 cents per mile. And Do Not Buy a new sprinter. Dodge Promaster is much less purchase and less trouble too
+Tim Fowler you right about Pro Master, it's cheep but not much cheaper and it's front wheel drive, just don't seem right for doing this in my opinion, it might handle better in the snow and ice, but from what I am hear from PRO master owners Breakdowns at 100k some Transmission go out and some problem with actual Engine, and it's not cheep to repair, if the Door mirror Replacement is $800 bucks what does that tell you about everything else, the Body is ITALIAN but Engine Who I think it's Dodge and I think sand goes for Transmission, all this info is from Owners I did not own one or have done my research, I am a Sprinter Guy ask me anything and most likely I will be allot of help because I deal with Sprinter Problems and break downs for 10 years and I put 10 to 15k per month, if your Expediting then you are doing same.
Speaking about Expediting Rates, here's what I will tell you I never Drive for .65 Cents I stay Firm on .80 and I stay Busy, and sometimes I get asks to take .75 and I say great idea Let me take it for .85 then and then .80 don't sound that bad, instead of losing .05 I ask to gain .05 This might sound like Hey what's the big Deal it's just .05 Cents Bro lol But here is what I Think It's allot better for you to drive 500 miles and spend $25 bucks on a great streak and Ice Cold Lemonade and Put a smile on your face for a Job well done and a nice Tasty reward at the End :)))) I am not giving away my steak any Time soon and I do just fine. Sure there's lots of competition and if they are taking .65 Cents Then They will feel it on there first break down and No Steak for them Probably Dollar Menu at McDonalds, just saying, I just don't see room for a good meal nothing but fast cheep food That does not feel rewarding and comes with a Huge Health Price. And you know Health is not cheep. BTW eating steak every day might not be good who knows. But it's a reference to a healthy meal and I think for $25 bucks you can find some good home cooking of your choice. Lol Long response I know :))) I am a Blogger and TH-cam is my Blogging platform, I like reading comments my self and adding my 2 Cents 2
In just one year the price/gal has gone from $2.49 - $3.19/gal :(
Yep I know while we still get payed same
That sux!
👍
My guy is new at this business but we have a 70/30 split, I pay for gas. 250 also comes out of my load pay every week and I make 2.5-3.5k (sometimes more is possible) a month .. I stay out 2 weeks at a time then go home for a weekend..then back out.. im 6 months in...bracing for the summer..
Great sounds like a good deal
Christopher M can I do this with a 18 foot freight liner fl60
Do you work for a company or did you start it up on your own?
I work for a company, I was a fleet owner in 2010 but it’s allot of headaches, I just enjoy getting work and driving and doing thangs that I enjoy like making videos because it allows me to be creative
What company is it?
Did you say $10 a day for clothes?
+Terry Waters no per month
молодец классное видео
Спасибо
Who do you recommend for insurance? 500 per month seems really low?
I recommend just shop around
Do you have any contact for Fleet Owners that we can contact? I am trying to get into this business and I am having a hard time finding owners. The recruiters are not being much help.
What do you mean, what contact are you looking for
I am trying to get into this business. It would be best to work for a fleet to learn the skills needed before I buy a $40K van and go out.
You right
@@ZimaletaMotors But trying to find a fleet owner is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Plus I live in Northern Maine and there is nothing here.
I can get you in contact with a fleet owner from NY, I don’t know if he has a van available, email me zimaleta@gmail.com
where is all the panther freight i get 2 loads a week and like everyone else i have Bill's. I guess expediting is dead to many company's out here not enough freight.
+Mark Mantia maybe its dying and maybe, they are selling freight to other companies for less
i guess im going to have to find someone else to drive for
+Mark Mantia yep
email me dispatch.autotransline@gmail.com .
+GSXR600Z Z my ema is zimaleta@gmail.com
20 miles per gallon? I wish.
Lol how much are you getting
May I ask what company are you a independent contractor driver with?
The company I work with is not hiring and they ask me not to give there information out, they always had this opinion, all I can tell you it’s family owned and they don’t have anything but sprinters and they are secretive about how many they have, my guess is more then 15 but less then 30, it’s just a one man operation so they can’t handle the volume of calls, so they just want to do day to day business and not be bothered with hiring, most guys that worked for them were with company over 5 years like me, normally no one quits even do they only pay .80 per mile sometimes less, but if your wondering what’s a better company them them I recommend Mill-house, they pay more and keep you busy
Thanks for the video.. Is there one company that is better than others?
They are all good in there own way, but all companies are different when it comes to requirements or fees and deductions, also some offer insurance and fuel card some don’t, some pay fuel surcharge and some don’t, best to do is just chose one that likes you and you Like them or what they offer
@@ZimaletaMotors cool thanks👍
Thanks
Boaring
I wanna start a delivery. I have my eye on a Freightliner sprinter with under 300000miles and the owner said it has engine light on. More videos of how to start a delivery company would be good 👍👍
+Edgar Bravo sure I will make more videos on this trust me, this is my focus one Video per day I interesting topics how to make money with your sprinter
Don't go for one with an engine light on unless you are a technician.
Good advice, check Engine Light can be a headache
so he's reading his notes while driving? smh
Lol there my notes it’s not reading it’s using as reference
Best video on the internet
Thanks 😊
You most be broke
Welcome to America
