Good morning I’m from New York and I’ve been watching your channel for a few days now and I can honestly say that I believe everything that you say I truly find no lies in what you’re saying. I respect you.yeah you’re one of the good guys ❤❤
I'm currently a contract driver with Load One, working towards van ownership. Once I've achieved this,I certainly will be calling you to see if you're still hiring.
You can still make money and not drive all night long. Been expediting since 2012, and I'm doing $140K per year average, some years more and do not drive between 12am and 6am. But if you can drive over night, that is a big plus because many loads require that and you can make more than me. Still.... I'm happy with what I make.
Hi! Love your videos! Please post the video on how to install E track. Do you have a video on how to track taxes working under another company’s authority?
For cargo vans you don't need authority and authority has nothing to do with filing taxes. You just need to get with an accountant and they will help you with tax questions. E track just gets screwed in with screws to a wooden floor. It's self explanatory, get a screw and an impact screw gun and screw them in.
I will be beginning my career in expediting in January 2024 I'm purchasing a ford transit high roof 2021 extended cargo space . I have experience in transport material coming from HVAC Construction trade am in need of criteria and qualifications?
I'm located in southern california and I was interested in getting involved in box truck driving or sprinkler van driving. Do you have any recommendations on where I should start? Thank you
I'd recommend sprinter due to better mpg snd there's more sprinter loads vs box truck loads. Buy a van and figure out who you want to load you with freight and lease on to a carrier.
hey my name is luis i live in south carolina i currently work in a factory, and i have a project for it's new years to buy a van to work as an independent that you can advise me thanks
We dont work with them because you can only put 1800lb of freight in them to be legal and they're gas guzzlers. Not worth it to run small box trucks these days.
Hey man great info is always My name is Anthony I’m an owner operator of cargo van ram Promaster 2500 high roof 2021 I live in Kansas City is possible that works for this company and stay local??
There's no money in being local in today's market for driver nor dispatch. We don't work with drivers who want to stay local. After all expenses you're not going to make anything being local.
No sleep in the van. Why give hotel your heard earned money? Sleep on top of the freight. Or take the mattress and sleep on the floor of its 3pcs. My van fits 4 pallets. I'm not worried about having room to sleep. Plus most deliveries are direct. There's no time to sleep while loaded.
Hi. Have a question?? Can 16 feet box truck use able for expediting?? And other questions is why sprinter or transit cargo van are expensive the GMC savanna box truck?? Please explain in next video,,, thank you
Those small Box trucks are not as popular in this industry. Some people drive them but in my opinion there's not enough fright for them. Their mpg is bad, and you must take van loads for van prices in them to keep moving. And for van rates it's not worth driving them...sprinter is the best way to go in this industry.
We dont really get into that. It's all simple things that any driver can do himself. If guidance is needed there's plenty of diy videos online as well to help.
No. It's insulated, has a roof fan. And at night the places I expedite to and from it stays below 70 / 75 degrees most of the time. Ac is not needed. Lots of times even in the summer I still use blankets
@@Eagle-Xpress I am currently doing Uber in vegas and I drive 12 + hours a day. I am going to give expediting business a shot. Thank you for the TH-cam community for sharing there experiences.
That video is a 1.5 yrs old. Things change weekly and monthly in this industry. Now is not the time to get into dept. You should watch more crescent content I've put out. There's over 300 videos on the channel.
Gotta start with a van, commercial insurance insurance and some money for food and fuel to get u through a few weeks. We pay weekly but other companies can take longer to pay so it will all depend on who ull be working with.
I’ve noticed that if you don’t OWN your van. It’s not really worth it. Rates are just to damn low if you got a 1900 van payment plus 1300$ insurance you gone struggle 😢 but every body situation is different
Ur right. Everyone's situation is different. I don't have a van payment it was purchased in cash and my insurance is just under $600 a month. Everyones operating cost is different.
Even IF it was paid off, you still need to factor it in as if you had a payment every month, that was an investment.. or run 19,000 miles a week. Such a shame this doesn't pay more.
would like to drive for you. don't currently own a van. i suppose i could rent or lease one. thoughts? i currently do deliveries for a sheet metal co. but i don't get the miles, or the money i'd like. do you think you could use a single 58 year old man, with experience driving on your team?
LLC is helpful for tax purposes for the driver but not necessary, and commercial insurance yes it's a must. 100k cargo coverage, 1 mil liability and unlimited mileage policy is a must.
Same way that a solo would work, but you would be able to clear a lot more miles and can be driving non stop if needed. Our Application can be obtained if you email the email address in the description.
No but you need to be physically fit to be able to drive all night long. We deal with time critical freight, so all night non stop driving is required. This job is not for the weak or the ones who love to sleep 😉
I’ve got 30k for a sprinter. I’d love to join the team. What should I look for as far as year, miles and price range ? I don’t want to get fucked by a dealer what’s your thoughts
All depends on the driver and every day it's different. Some drivers clear up to 1400 miles a day some 300. All depends if it's a strong driver or not.
@@Eagle-Xpress my wife and I are road warriors and are looking to start a driver team. The only thing holding us back is the fear of a parked van. We’d be available 3 weeks on around the clock and 1 week off a month. We live in Arizona. Any pointers? Advice?
No. There's nothing regular in expediting. Just sleep whenever you can or whenever you make up time during transit as a nap otherwise u sleep after your delivery before the next load.
Could be either or depending on how good of a driver you are. We have some drivers grossing up to 6k a week. But thats a lot of driving! Over 6000 miles a week with current rates.
I am a CDL OTR Company driver for 10 years now, but have grown disenchanted with the trucking industry, and "wage theft" I can use a huge van for personal stuff anyway, ...lots in storage since divorce. But to invest in a $50k+ van, I would need guarantee in writing, at least a dollar/mile (everywhere) and would stay out 3-4 weeks. Can you do that?
Nobody in the industry can guarantee anything... Same as any business. Rates are up and down almost daily. Competition and supply and demand also dictates rates. Used vans are not 50k...theyre anywhere from 20 to 30k at very most. At least in my area they are. But in business no smart individual will guarantee anything especially in trucking. Business is business today it can be good tomorrow you can be slow. That's the beauty of business... Always a risk.
No. When you're an owner operator you take care of all that. Paying your own taxes etc. You're a business owner all to yourself when it comes to all that.
Keep 'em coming, man. Wife and I learn a little more with each one. Here's to everybody's success. 👍🏼
Good morning I’m from New York and I’ve been watching your channel for a few days now and I can honestly say that I believe everything that you say I truly find no lies in what you’re saying. I respect you.yeah you’re one of the good guys ❤❤
im in new york too thinking about doing this
I love your videos ❤️ I’ve been expediting for going on 3 months now and it was thanks to you for letting me take that leap!
I'm currently a contract driver with Load One, working towards van ownership. Once I've achieved this,I certainly will be calling you to see if you're still hiring.
So thankful I have a mom who can help us kickstart this venture.
Soon as I find a van I'm ready to sign up. Kids grown currently cdl drive good credit and clean record. Hope to see you all soon.
Why would you go from Big Rigs to this?
Seriously asking.
I have a CDL with Hazmat.
I appreciate your time for shooting video, cheers from LA
I would say 80%+ is 1-2 pallets, but it's definitely better to carry 3+ to increase chances out of low freight zones.
Currently work at home now and saving up. Gonne use my tax return & savings to get a sprinter van.
THE HOMIE JEROME SENT ME FROM CARS AND CRIBS, SUBBED AND EARGER TO LEARN! THANK YOU
I would love to do this. I do not have a van. No money.. but this i am interested. I wish i could. Thanks for the videos.
Listen, I love you and all the information you provide, However, mileage should be 2.00 dollars per mile and nothing less is what I've been told
I hope whoever has been telling you this can pay you that much per mile. Otherwise they're just flapping their lips in the wind....lol
That’s if you have a simi
Its a con-artist industry dont listen to ANY of these guys here Believe me.
You can still make money and not drive all night long. Been expediting since 2012, and I'm doing $140K per year average, some years more and do not drive between 12am and 6am. But if you can drive over night, that is a big plus because many loads require that and you can make more than me. Still.... I'm happy with what I make.

Im out of Reno NV and we go to CA,WA,AZ,idaho and ive had the opportunity to go to Tennessee 👍🏽
I never heard back when I sent my email??

Interested but can I do a 1 week ride-along with you to see if I like it ?
I dont do ride alongs. If u watch enough expediting videos that should give you an idea if ull like it or not
I expedited for about a year in my own van . Thinking about going back out was with 2 terrible countries .
I have a Ram pro master 2500 high roof, let me know how can we make it work
I have a quick question doing an expedited going state state with the sprinter van do I have to get my DOT and MC number please let me know
Nope. I've made videos about it. They're on the channel as well
Its november 2023..is it a good time to get into the business? To buy a van? Im out of Jacksonville Florida area but would drive nationwide
No. You should watch my more recent videos.

Do you work with Mercedes high tops?
If it's a sprinter yes. If it's just a Mercedes mini van then no
What about non dot box trucks? 10000 gvwr puts it under dot value of 10,001 and above.
We dont work with them because you can only put 1800lb of freight in them to be legal and they're gas guzzlers. Not worth it to run small box trucks these days.

With 3 pallets there is no room to sleep in the van. Do you help with hotels on triple loads going long distances?
No sleep in the van. Why give hotel your heard earned money? Sleep on top of the freight. Or take the mattress and sleep on the floor of its 3pcs. My van fits 4 pallets. I'm not worried about having room to sleep. Plus most deliveries are direct. There's no time to sleep while loaded.

Where do you find your jobs sir? Love this approach
We use expediting load boards and get emailed load offers from brokers to bid on their freight.

I dont have a contractor. I own Eagle Xpress.
I have the van u guys looking for whats the number for dispatch
Our email address is is in the description.
why so much for insurance ? not a big truck fraction of what a big truck would haul
1 million liability, 100k cargo and unlimited mileage. Lots of times our cargo costs over 100k even though it's small. It's just the minimum standard.
I have 2021 sprinter van high roof 250. 140 miles does it work. How can I join with you

connect via what? did you email eaglexpressops@gmail.com ? copy and paste that email exactly.
There is hrs limit for driving per day ? For example laws require to drive 11 hrs so is this apply to sprinter drivers as well ?
That only applies to vehicles who operate with a log book. Sprinters are not under any of those laws.
applies to 10,000lbs+ GVWR vehicles. Sprinter, cargo van, and boxtruck are under 10K lbs so they don't have the restriction. You can drive 24/7/365.
Do I need llc or commercial insurance? Would ford transit 250 work?

It's not the year that matters. It's the mileage. Under 130k miles so you don't break down on every load.
are pallets unloaded by hand?
No usually by forklift.
What about Oklahoma
What about it? If you are asking if it's a busy area the answer is no not really.

Any trucking insurance company that's local in your area. Or progressive commercial

Didn’t understand a word of that.
Do you get to have a regular sleep schedule or do you just take naps when you can.
No. There's nothing regular in expediting. Just sleep whenever you can or whenever you make up time during transit as a nap otherwise u sleep after your delivery before the next load.
How many hours of driving per delivery aprox ?

2500 with fuel or with out

Could be either or depending on how good of a driver you are. We have some drivers grossing up to 6k a week. But thats a lot of driving! Over 6000 miles a week with current rates.

could be 100 - 1350 in a 24 hr period
