As a Class A OTR driver for years. There were several nuggets dropped in this video. Some similarities, and a few differences. Thank you for making this video. Love to see the knowledgeable teaching the seekers. Much respect from Texas.
I gave you a like in the first 3 minutes because you know what you are talking about. Thanks for the great video best of luck to you brother. I just retired at 65 as a building maintenance man. Never really worked in the delivery business but it's always good to know things. Did about 100 Uber trips after my regular job, didn't see any money. Also drove a NYC TLC black car.👍🇺🇸🇨🇺
I never leave comments however for a woman business owner already looking to start off into a cargo van business with my 19-year-old son I was previously in the business office bound before starting my current business. You have explained the process very well a lot of things came back to memory after watching your video very true and honest what you are saying very much appreciated. Good luck with your Business wishing you all the best success.
Amazing breakdown, very much appreciated! I am superrrrr excited and can barely contain myself lol so I’m checking once again that I’m doing everything right and exact.
New subscriber🙂 I'm looking to start a new cargo business and I've been binging on your videos since yesterday! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and they way you share it. You are great!! 💯
Explain. Btw I watched a few of your vids love the channel, I want to get into the cargo van Owner Op side but I don’t know where to go after I get my van. I want to be independent but I think becoming part of a team that already have experience is a great way to start
When I started 10 years ago with my cargo van I made sure I had capital to work got my van plus had about 18k to last me until i got paid which was 21 to 30 days after completion of delivery now I got 4 sprinter vans running outta state and 3 bobtails also wen I started I gave myself a weekly salary the rest went to my company I never used a factoring they be robbing u sometimes 😅
I really want to thank you for making this video. I am researching this particular business field to go in. So I will continue to learn and get more knowledgeable so that I can come out the gate running in 2023. I actually have access to a cargo van that I can use. I am just trying to figure out if I want to stay local or go over the road with this business. I most definitely don't want to be driving during any kind of weather storms or conditions. I am in Ohio. 😂 Again Thank You
Much love Fam and Blessings on your journey with which ever way you choose to go‼️💯 Yeah brotha that extreme weather will have you thinking about some stuff🤣✊🏾
Hi This one of rare times I can't hold myself from commenting. Overall, it is a great video. I have watched a lot of videos of Cargo Van business, and this is the best. Very transparent. Some of them will hold very important information. Instead, they throw bait fishing for people to purchase their products, such as startup packages and such. A lot of pros than cons. The only con is the language, very street one. However, that can be justified as you were speaking naturally!! Great job, and may Allah bless you .
Foul language a sign of HIGH intelligence. I bet you didn't learn that in your holy book. I bet. How about just appreciating the information and being thankful that your "Allah" has allowed you such grace.
It seems like what bothered you is the word Allah. Otherwise, the whole purpose of my comment was to express my appreciation for the information, and the creator loved it.
Much love fam word bond. You got that Motown or ohio swag for real. I've learned a plethora fam. I'm a trucker by trade ready to jump off into cargo. Much love and keep rising to the top !
🤣Much love Fam.. I always get I seem to be from somewhere different.. I really appreciate you brotha✊🏾 yeah I cant imagine what it takes to fill up a semi rite now🤦🏾♂️
Thanks for the video! Would like to know a few things, if we have our MC running two flatbeds and would like to get a sprinter and to hire a driver.What to do in this case correctly ? 1.The Sprinter doesn't require MC ,but the Insurance is under our MC? 2.How to get the driver as contracor?does he need to open LLC or SP?
From what I know if you/your company provides the equipment, you have to hire the driver as an company employee, But im thinking and don't quote me on this, but if you find a way to rent your van out to a driver as a 1099 contractor there may be a loop hole in a way for that..
Hi, you provided some great info for me as I'm just getting started in the business. Question about the mc and dot number. I was told by others if you're under 10k Gross weight it's not necessary, because if you have it and when you get your log book audit they will deactivate you as won't have one. Thoughts?
Nice! Yeah so its kind of a grey area, You technically only need DOT/MC if you want to book your own loads through shippers and brokers or you can just lease onto a carrier, but when you do get that audit and say Hey my equipment is under 10k pounds you may be good.. Its a real good question..
how do you get started running under a carrier if your renting a sprinter van ? or should I just wait on it until I get my own authority ? hoping by the end of July to have all that completed. running courier and Amazon flex. I have several years of logistics and dispatch experience, but it's been a while. started getting into courier work when my husband got laid off from the union hall for a bit now thinking we'd be able to replace his income if not surpass it doing transport work. I live in NJ so I'm pretty sure we can do regional northeast runs and make it work , there are probably about 8 Amazon ( wanna do box truck relay as well through Amazon and using day and other boards ) warehouses just within 30 mile radius from us, plus a ton of other warehouses.
True, them just want you to stay put and be loyal to them so they look good and have reliable transporter on stand by to cover their loads. Have good reputation at the expense of drivers sitting, which means not making money. Got to be ready with options.
I'm wondering if it's worth it because that insurance is the same approach to having insurance on a semi trucking trailer with a million dollar coverage and I dont know if van cargo make as much as a semi.
how could i get in the game by say renting a truck from a place like enterprise or something ? i got a lot a info already but nobody seemed to have rented a truck until the run up enough to get their own. idk if my idea is dumb but i seen semis for rent on there so it’s a thought. help would be gladly appreciated my g cuz this vid already gave me more insight than the rest. clear cut direct info. thank you in advance 🤞🏽
I appreciate you taking the time out and spreading the knowledge a lot of valuable information I needed to know I found out about you through big CJ follow him as I'll be in the game soon
Rite on man, All I can say is start looking for work now, Look on indeed and craigslist in you area an just start reaching out to companies to lock something in.. Good luck man.
as a class a driver, i had a lease purchase deal with a company that would lock me in on a TQL load for like 1.30 would send me a fake ratecon, turned out they got paid 1.68 on it. It turned out they did that alot to me and I didn't know it. Def gotta shop the market.
Wow, That is crazy. yea a lot of these companies greedy scammers. Instead of treating drivers fair and building a long term relationship they would rather burn through a 100 drivers a year..smh
Aye salute to u G I do the same thing me and my cousin started our own company wit the Dodge Ram pro master 2500…everything u saying sound correct to me…especially the part about using multiple carriers and not sitting for three days type thing. We have our own authority but we still use 9 diff Carrie’s like empire national and home land. The key is to keep that van rolling Fr. This def some god advice I can vouch that. Check out army of five we have some videos too but everything he said is legit
Love the content boss, been an owner/op myself running big trucks though. Switching over to sprinters soon. Btw, it’s “dis-patcher”, not “dis-Batcher”. Keep gettin that loot! 💪🏾
Believe me, nothing is better than having your own authority and booking for your own load without anyone in the middle of the way because even if you don't believe it, they will always knock down some of your money, you have more work to do but you earn more to.
I have a cargo van in Illinois and want to learn this business after being laid- off? How is the business for woman? I want to know are you doing the heavy lifting? I also have a 2500 pickup truck with a snow plow and salt spreader and want to learn that business too.
For the ppl who want to purchase a van and come into this business..what do you recommend? The promaster 1500-3500 doesn’t have much variant between the payload and towing capacities. Is there any advantage to one over the other? There’s also the height variant of the cargo area.. does this come into play in field? Do you often have tall loads that require that extra height? Much appreciated. Thx 🙏
Forgot to mention..I’m a Bay Area native. I am planning to run my handyman business out of the same van.. so ideally, I’d want to make short runs within Northern California, but occasionally go long distances if possible.
@Daniel Fasholz I recommend the Ford transit 250 Mid to high roof, Promasters have a lot of break downs and would spend a lot more time in the shop for sure. It's rare you will get loads that are really tall, but when they do pop up, you will have the advantage over a lower roof van to get that money👌🏾
Great video, very useful, thank you. How many pallets can you fit into your van please? And what roughly you can make per week with the size of your van? Thank you.
I hope y'all listening cuz this is the best way I think and usco that is if you got your own van ya feel me you can make some money and you gotta be willing to drive and I mean no bull sheeting if you don't like to do you already done land lover in one place
Thank you for the video, it really inspiring. Please I have been in the united state less than three month and I have my I got my driving license last week Do I still qualify to do cargo business with no much experience ?
Cuz your the realist an straight to the point that's what is needed YES cut the other joint out I'm about to get in the game an that's all I needed to hear
Much love fam‼️ I really appreciate you I got tired of watching videos where they keep beating around the Bush and not keeping it Solid Trying to sell you something✊🏾
Bro I am trying to start and buying a new sprinter van soon. First question is it good to lease one or buy one. Secondly do I need MC number for sprinter van and an Authority. And what other documents do I need to start the business. Thank you.
What about renting a van through enterprise until tou can by your own van I also heard that if you are shipping under 10k lbs you dont need a mc dot number
If you get a dispatcher or drive under a company you probably can rent, yup under 10k no Authority required but if you want to book your own loads through brokers and shippers.. You will need one.
What kind of company will take someone on? I found one but they charge 23% but it’s exclusive and I need to put on their signage…Another company is going to pay out 60%… No Carfo insurance needed just commercial insurance. I am also in California but willing to do OTR for 4-6 weeks in the Midwest… Big carriers won’t take me on being from California. Any tips?
Hey bro should I get on with load boards or get on with the companies on indeed asking for owner operator with sprinters claiming to pay 2,500-3000 a week
Honestly Bro I would do both, Use them for when they shoot you good loads at the same time book your own loads if their dry. But them offering you loads consistently every week is cap for sure. The market is not what it was at all rite now.
@@dggothustle yeah I figured the 2500 every week was cap that’s why we need ppl like you ! But overall do you think buying a sprinter van is worth it today? I was gnna cash one out so I have no payments on it but I’m just iffy wit taking the risk bro
@@SlimeTime_Gaming yeah man its kinda ugly out there rite now, But it depends if you have your Authority or not as well.. If you do its worth it because you have less people in your pocket, if you ride under a carriers Authority you really have to go hard to stay a float.. Its hella saturated rite now bro.. I use to be in a lot of different States were vans would be parked at every travel gas station there was waiting to get loads out of there🤦🏾♂️
I currently have 4DR sedan at the moment and it takes about 60$ to fill my car up. Want to get a cargo van but the way the prices went up and also the insurance was not cutting it for me. Any assistance with the route to go through for cars?
My dispatcher I plan on using said for the cargo vans most companies will only require 750k since I won’t be carrying a lot of freight. Is that true for the most part?
Thanks for the Great content boss! I’m from the Bay as well! My question to you is, can you make good money in cargo van local only? Keep up the good work 👏🏼
New sub here. Awesome content bro. Sounds good signing up as a carrier to use their insurance. Would I still need to have my own insurance on the side though for my van?
Rite on, I appreciate you‼ I'm pretty sure basic coverage will do, Unless you deal with other companies on the side then you probably would need commercial👌🏾
@@dggothustle Thanks bro. I’m in New York. Any carriers you recommend? Thinking about buying a van but the insurance is crazy and parking on my end is a hassle as well.

There is also the option of driving for a fleet owner before purchasing a van. Good idea if you've never been in the game local or otr.

Keep a semi incase rate shoot up but we gotta see how 2024 2025 go see who our next president is to
Me too, been driving big truck for a few months but theres something about the cargo van life style that makes me wanna go for it, lol
Are they picky about driving records or dot type deals or is it just llc ,ein,and overhead
When you run under a company as a carrier you just need a like a liability or full coverage insurance for your van
It just depends, most companies are diff.. some do some dont.. Im actually about to drop a video explaining it..
Believe me, nothing is better than having your own authority and booking for your own load without anyone in the middle of the way because even if you don't believe it, they will always knock down some of your money, you have more work to do but you earn more to.

Cuz your the realist an straight to the point that's what is needed YES cut the other joint out I'm about to get in the game an that's all I needed to hear
Much love fam‼️ I really appreciate you I got tired of watching videos where they keep beating around the Bush and not keeping it Solid Trying to sell you something✊🏾
Bro I am trying to start and buying a new sprinter van soon. First question is it good to lease one or buy one. Secondly do I need MC number for sprinter van and an Authority. And what other documents do I need to start the business. Thank you.
i'd like to get into this but i dont own a sprinter or cargo van
Is it wise to rent first or just go and lease or buy . Also is it money in the Cargo van business and would you recommend expediting ?
Do you recommend I go under my own authority?
With all that being said, seems like you do pretty good just running local around the bay using the apps
Do I need a business license or any kind of license other than a driver license to get started?
Just LLC and EIN.. if you choose not to get your Authority..
Question are you familiar with the motor vehicle number? Do I need to register for it in order to make delivery across states
@@roadrunnermiller7546 Ive heard of motor carrier permit (MCP) but not that.. But if you under someone else Authority you should be fine..
@@dggothustle if u got the commercial insurance how come u haven’t gotten the authority yet ? ( I’m new to learning this shi lol )
what if your new seems like on DAT load when your new driver they don't want to give you any loads do you have any advice? i have a cargo van
What about renting a van through enterprise until tou can by your own van I also heard that if you are shipping under 10k lbs you dont need a mc dot number
If you get a dispatcher or drive under a company you probably can rent, yup under 10k no Authority required but if you want to book your own loads through brokers and shippers.. You will need one.
@@dggothustle can you rent the van thru the company? Do any dispatch companies have lease to purchase van programs?
@@theiceman289 Maybe if you link with OnTrac or V3, I think they do that type of deal possibly👌🏾
What kind of company will take someone on? I found one but they charge 23% but it’s exclusive and I need to put on their signage…Another company is going to pay out 60%… No Carfo insurance needed just commercial insurance.
I am also in California but willing to do OTR for 4-6 weeks in the Midwest… Big carriers won’t take me on being from California. Any tips?
God Bless you...good video
Hey bro should I get on with load boards or get on with the companies on indeed asking for owner operator with sprinters claiming to pay 2,500-3000 a week
Honestly Bro I would do both, Use them for when they shoot you good loads at the same time book your own loads if their dry. But them offering you loads consistently every week is cap for sure. The market is not what it was at all rite now.
@@dggothustle yeah I figured the 2500 every week was cap that’s why we need ppl like you ! But overall do you think buying a sprinter van is worth it today? I was gnna cash one out so I have no payments on it but I’m just iffy wit taking the risk bro
@@SlimeTime_Gaming yeah man its kinda ugly out there rite now, But it depends if you have your Authority or not as well.. If you do its worth it because you have less people in your pocket, if you ride under a carriers Authority you really have to go hard to stay a float.. Its hella saturated rite now bro.. I use to be in a lot of different States were vans would be parked at every travel gas station there was waiting to get loads out of there🤦🏾♂️
Do I get the DOT after I buy the van or before?
Thank you
You can get it before👌🏾
I currently have 4DR sedan at the moment and it takes about 60$ to fill my car up. Want to get a cargo van but the way the prices went up and also the insurance was not cutting it for me.
Any assistance with the route to go through for cars?
I feel you Fam, Its crazy out there right now. Try out rapidus and Curri.. it really depends on your area at the end of the day..
Is $1 per mile a good starting point on a run?
Yes it is👌🏾
My dispatcher I plan on using said for the cargo vans most companies will only require 750k since I won’t be carrying a lot of freight. Is that true for the most part?
I believe so.. The most im carrying is 22-2300 max.
Great video! Is there a way to do local work? Thanks
Thank you! You for sure can find local work. Check out my video's I have a few👌🏾
Dispatcher not Disbatcher..lol got it bro🤣🤣🤣
Yeah Ok Inspector gadget🤣🤣
How much did you say that dispatch is charging?
Are you hired on as a employee with USKO or contract with them and will you be able to still go on the load board like DAT to find loads
yessir as a contract.. I'm still on everything moving.. They do hit me every morning around 6 AM and ask me if im on are off duty..
Thanks for the Great content boss! I’m from the Bay as well! My question to you is, can you make good money in cargo van local only? Keep up the good work 👏🏼
Rite on brotha.. Yes you can! if anything you sometimes can make more locally. Especially in the bay!!
@@dggothustle got it! Any apps or dispatch services that you would suggest? Thanks for all the knowledge
If I want to be owner/op, I need dot number, mc number and Ifta for each state?
Also do I have to do DOT physical?
New sub here. Awesome content bro.
Sounds good signing up as a carrier to use their insurance.
Would I still need to have my own insurance on the side though for my van?
Rite on, I appreciate you‼ I'm pretty sure basic coverage will do, Unless you deal with other companies on the side then you probably would need commercial👌🏾
@@dggothustle Thanks bro. I’m in New York. Any carriers you recommend?
Thinking about buying a van but the insurance is crazy and parking on my end is a hassle as well.
