You was just starting out. You're doing well now. 5 trucks in 13 months, that's awesome. Thank God for what you have now!
I have 6 trucks but I don't have freight to move on good rate
assalamwailekum zahid bhai how r u i am a freight broker
@@zahidkarim8028 where are you from?
Dave your video truly impacted my life and our business. Had i not heard this video i would not have the business with direct shippers today. My insurance tripled but so did the revnue. Part of the reason is because we are such a new trucking company. But each year the insurance cost will decrease thus increasing profits. Thank you for being transparent.
How did you go about finding those direct shippers. I'm a new venture right now trying to find work, but insurance is killing me.
Same question bro did you get the answer?
David's 1 on 1 consultation was very informative. He gave me answers to all my questions I had concerning this trucking business which I believe many others won't reveal those strategies to anyone. Thanks alot David I truly appreciate you 🙏
9 months in on trucking. COVID killed my chauffeur job. Went to major trucking company, 3 more months until they pay off the loan. Started working as a trainer after 7 months. Seeing the opportunities for owning your own truck. So I will follow your content. My next move will be my own authority. My friend was getting his authority, in California, but insurance quote was $40,000 a year as he only had 9 months experience. He ended up going to Utah and got insurance for $18,000. I am also keeping up with him and continuing to learn.
You did the right thing. The opportunity will come up again. Prayer always helps to be sound in those decisions too. 😊
The Gospel of John, when you're ready, sir.🔥
Inspiration video. It’s just a lesson for next time. You won’t miss the next opportunity like that... keep Evovling brother

Hello, is there a way to speak with you directly? I am willing to pay.
prays to your business and mine also. i will go to your website
You are great bro...You are helping out alot. Thank you!
Great lesson,thanks for sharing.
Brother, I understand. I am in a different field entirely, but I have had on 2 separate occasions, have had existing relationships lead me to the opportunity of a lifetime......world travel, high pay, time off, and beautiful experiences.....I choked both times, and I carry those experiences with me as a teacher, now I am all about professional risk
Hindsight is 20/20. Of course now you look at it as a missed opportunity because you hear how good it is to haul freight for that company. At the time, you were new to trucking, probably didnt have the cash flow to deal with the cost ofninsurance, and if ANYTHING would have gone wrong that soured the relationship, you might have put yourself in a serious bind. I think you made the right choice. You are doing well regardless, so I would say you should have no regrets. Thanks for all the great information.
Great insight! Thank you!
Thank you for your Sacrifice Bro, we appreciate it you made it better for us to understand and not make the same mistake...!!!
Don't beat yourself up too much. High overhead can put a new business out of business very quickly. Took the safe route and you're still in business today. that said, when an opportunity falls in your lap should always take it! Wind falls don't come often.
Sir, it is obvious that you are very smart. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I appretiate your transparency brother.
Very good story and lesson. Thanks
Good advice and video thanks !!

Hey Johnny here and I just finished my consulting call with David McGill. It was well worth the what paid for the information that was received. So If you have any questions about the Trucking business I recommend that you don't hesitate to book that hour consultation with David. You will not be disappointed .
Great story.
More Great info man looking fwd to working with you
Hey David, contact the new logistics manager and tell them your story; maybe you can start building, kind of, a relarionship with these people and, who knows bro. You have a good reputation, so, why not man?
thanks for the video
Hi David. Thank you for this informative video. We are a carrier based out of Indianapolis as well running LTL on a 26 Ft straight truck. Could we email you directly regarding networking with local shippers here in Indianapolis? We thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask and your videos are very motivating. Thanks again for dropping these gems. 💎
Thanks for sharing that! I believe that The Most High will bless you for it!
You have to make it "Be".Great info
Hey David! Please help! Can you give some examples of the target market and the trucking industry for a start-up business plan?
Thanks 🙏
Hi David thank you for dropping so much knowledge! The link for the trucking blueprint is not working, and I would like to purchase it. Please kindly fix it. Thank you !
10 million is insane!!
Not when the shipper paying 3 times the amount the Broker pays
Nothing but good things to say about you from watching your videos ,will be reaching out to you later
Thanks for sharing...
Very good info young brother.
I know this video is focused on tapping into our "spheres of influence" but my take away, as we set out to create our own brokering firm, is not to let fear control us and our decisions. I am sure each of us have stories from our own lives that we can plainly see, in hindsight, how fear dominated our decision making process and we failed to prosper because of it. Thanks for being vulnerable and reminding me how important it is to fee the fear and DO IT ANYWAY!!!!
I would have made the same decision given the state of your company at the time. Cash flow is everything.
Your good man, jb hunt would of undercut you! 🤣 great advise my brother.
Mr. McGill were they going to pay you buy weekly or monthly?
Thank you for the Information.
At the same time, that new logistics manager could have cut you loose and you could have over invested with the thought that the old manager was going to keep giving you loads. So like you said...everything happens for a reason.
Hello David, I have 24 trucks I mainly haul freights from germany to france. Do you think it's worth ir to start knocking out brokers and start searching for Your own freight directly from The customer?
My brother David, I've been subscribe for awhile now but never made a comment. Look my brother keep it, driving now for 20yrs. Got my truck with lease company 2yrs just got my authority to go solo but insurance was a stretch, but regret not going thru with it, now back with another comp lease. Want to get my own show on the road. Like a power only loads....bless ma bro...
@Tyrone Barnes hey brother, whats your mc#? I am very interested...
@Tyrone Barnes kk brother, my bad, i tought that you are shipper 😂, i am also a dipatcher for small company from Justice IL brother...
@Tyrone Barnes bro, in terms of freight, MO is burning rn. Hot as f***k ☺
David I love your videos very explanatory. I don’t get difference between bobtail insurance, truck insurance and trail insurance. Is it a all package deal or do I purchase them separately. What if I use someone else’s trailer like Amazon . How can I put insurance on a trailer , cargo ?
Wow good story great example . I have made these mistakes in life too. I need help trying to find box truck loads in Georgia for intrastate only. Do you have any ideas to help me?
Been trying this start up Asking what insurance are you going through just for options thanks
Nice Jag 👍
Good content
Great video!
Buddy which state was that particular logistics manager transfer to? Do you mind sharing with us.
Can you refer your insurance agent please? If working with owner/ops do you add their equipment to your policy even if they carry their own liability insurance?
Good video man
Hey David, love your videos man! I watched a few so far - im looking to hire a truck driver to run freight for me within 150 miles. Do you have any resources that could help me find young drivers who can work on contract?
