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.
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.
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 🙏
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.🔥
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.
David, the information that you provided is priceless. In my heart I know that you are genuine. With that said, I will take heed to your suggestions and network with those within my circle to start business oppurtunities with their contacts. Thank you and keep up the good work!!
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.
Who bro, Thanks so much. Love your heart felt true real life story's. This has help me so much. I use to drive as a company driver. Now I'm trying to get back into the business as a owner operator/ fright broker. I got out the business to do other things and career choices. But now i'm coming back.
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...
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?
i appreciate you Mcgill. A bunch of ur videos have given me mad insight, as i am getting my truck next week n starting out as owner op/ and gonna evolve into freigh broker as well. God bless u bro
Hey David. Thanks so much for speaking with our Mastermind. It was extremely informative as you answered all our questions and then some. I look forward to booking a consult call in the near future.
Your videos are definitely helpful and thanks for the help, me and my best friend are thinking of starting a trucking company and i just start watching one of your videos and they are so simple and helpful
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?
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 .
Thank you for sharing your experience with the world, sure it will help many people not to overthink when a good opportunity comes up. Very good content, keep it up.
to be a broker do I need to have insurance if aim just dispatching the drivers or would I still need the insurance or does the driver need the insurance if aim just dispatching
A lot of people don't know that that's where the gold is. build your fleet up. Manage profits to wear you can grow smoothly and keep drivers happy. Build credit so when someone comes with an offer worth taking you can put the clamps on it that's where the pot of gold lies.
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.
Great video. I have a CDL-A and current medical card with hazmat and tanker endorsments. I have been driving an 18 wheeler for a couple of years. I want to get into the expediting cargo van business. Does having a CDL-A license give me an advantage in this business?
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?
Have any advice on how to get loads for people with authorities less than 60 days and 6 months old? My authority just went active yesterday, but my neighbor that hot shots tells me some brokers wont use you if your authority is new.
Bro you know more then anyone business is all about relationships, so even though that other guy is retired or in a different state, why not reach out to him and have him put in a good word for you with the new management. If he was willing to work with you and they trust his previous work within the company, maybe what opportunity is still there.
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 !
Man that suck I would have ask for number on the frieght and contrasted it against my over head adding and subtract is all it takes when you kno the number it removes alot of fears
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?
Hey I don’t know if you will see this message any time soon but I really need some. assistant your help before I make that leap I’m a former diesel mechanic from South Carolina that’s really looking forward to starting my own trucking company so my question is how can we get in touch with one another
my eyes teared up for your lost; trust I know that fear, and I'm fighting to keep it far from me. Just started my second company in trucking after being afread to do so for over 15yrs............
Do you have any experience as a broker? I have decided to go that route instead of buying a truck but I would like to get some insight if you have any for me brother?

Thank you for sharing your experience with the world, sure it will help many people not to overthink when a good opportunity comes up. Very good content, keep it up.
I know this is 2 years old but it is still relevant. Thanks David. Great information.
Exactly
to be a broker do I need to have insurance if aim just dispatching the drivers or would I still need the insurance or does the driver need the insurance if aim just dispatching
Good video and solid advice, David. As they say, hindsight is 20/20. But, it sounds like a valuable lesson was learned.
Is there a load board to obtain shippers?
Sir, it is obvious that you are very smart. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Who do you have trucking insurance with, gas cards and trip tickets. Im just starting my business and I need help
A lot of people don't know that that's where the gold is. build your fleet up. Manage profits to wear you can grow smoothly and keep drivers happy. Build credit so when someone comes with an offer worth taking you can put the clamps on it that's where the pot of gold lies.
Thanks bro, you're always an awesome inspiration, everytime I watch you, I always learn something new,I would love to work with you, even now
Same here!
Hey buddy question please how I found shipping or one line I have on my authority
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.
Great video. I need some help starting my own truck business. Can I link up with you to get some info. Thanks
