Brandon, Your production value is off the scale. Great Music score, videography, all that. If I had to guess.. your either going to blow this channel up or be pouched by a producer of some kind. On another note, ive been self employed for a long time and am buying a high roof 148 in the next couple months that my job now gives me a car allowance for,, and this looks like a great way to travel which is my real passion. Thanks for sharing brother!
Very good video. I miss doing expedited delivery in the Promaster. We loved it. Unfortunately it's was a very small company, 4 drivers, and he wasn't very good with money. I live in missouri, so it's hard to find jobs in the industry. I would do it again in a heartbeat
As I've said before great footage of your travels... The Gateway Arch in St. Louis and then I caught a glimpse of something that you did a double-take of going through Indianapolis on the I-70.... Lucas Oil Stadium 🏟️!!! That replaced the old Hoosier Dome which was later the RCA Dome. Great footage Brandon!!!
My 53 year old ego got bruised when you called Metallica a "classic" band. 😅If you were in high school in the 80's and into ROCK, Metallica was "hard" for mainstream. You have a great channel. Your editing skills are superb. Your extremely positive attitude sets you apart from other channels. 🚚
WOW 🤩 A double load booking 😳 nothing BETTER than doubling the money bro .. I’m excited to be getting into Expediting because I’ve been doing courier logistics “Last Mile Delivery & pickups” since 2019 and I’m excited to see the country again. I can’t wait to see California, Arizona, Idaho, Montana again .. I’m glad I found your channel
@@ExpeditingAmerica hey Brandon 👋🏽 doing “Last Mile Deliveries” as a courier driver is VERY EASY.

Is the fleet owner looking for Drivers or do they have more than one Van and or if you may know someone who is looking for a Driver. Appreciate any Info
@@kingofkings5175 there are only two vans right now in the fleet. The one I drive and the one the owner drives and his wife dispatches. If you had a van they may start booking for people but rn it’s just steady how it is. But companies are always looking if you search it on job websites
Who would you prefer for dispatch who can find or manage jobs if I consider purchasing a van? Any dispatch services for around Texas? Should dispatch be local or it doesn’t matter ? Also do they have access to dat loads without me carrying any authority?
I just need a van too lol. That’s the easiest part of the business. The hardest part is finding loads and bidding to win them. Most drivers sit for days and weeks sometimes making $0 also insurance is 10k-40k a year for some peeps. Do you research it’s more than just getting a van. That’s like the last strp
Hey James I use the instrumentals to my music for example the song playing in the background while I was handing the guy my cds is to my song “Make room” by artist “SOTA” it’s on all streaming platforms. Eventually I’ll promote the music more but I don’t wanna confuse the audience as I’m building the channel
Broh! You are inspirational!...I love your good attitude out there, I'm about to start my expediting business, I will buy a diesel 2021 Sprinter, those look like they are very reliable vans.

Hi thanks for the video, it's very helpfull. I have 2 questions 1. If the van is yours, you don't split the fee right? 2. If there is no delivery on the way back home, you will loose a lot of money just for the gas to go back right/?
Such a beautiful dog. Sorry if you had answered this question a million times but what type of breed is Bubba? I know he a pit but what is he mix with? And does he shed? Thank you, you earn a subscriber 😊
Like most cities their are good and bad parts. But out of most big cities I’ve been to it’s pretty cool. I would never live there but I could if I had to 🤣😂
Can you get a dispatcher if you just rent a van like through fluid truck? I want to try it out before buying in, but I’m not sure how to get that first week done.
Unfortunately not. I’m sure you can find local gigs but it’s hard to make money in that starting out. I didn’t buy a van to start I drove for an owner of a van. And split the vans profits. It’s a really hard industry to get into as most carriers and companies have long lists of people who want to drive. Good luck and feel free to ask questions whenever
Florida is tough to get out of, deadhead to Tampa or Jax might get you out or else it's a DH to Savanna, GA to get a load. Avoid Miami like the plague!

I know they strictly talk about GVWR but then the talk vehicles with gvwr, gcwr, gvwr or which ever is greater than 10,001lbs. So the cargo vans can exceed 10k with gvwr+ when towing a trailer
@@kelvindavis1864 why not? There is no better time than now. Get your feet wet as a driver. Hustle hard, learn the business, get your own van and live your life. There are people in every type of business saying don’t get in. Those people don’t hustle hard enough.

Looking to start the business i am in florida how you found your dispatch if you can tell any advice i have a ford transit connect cargo van is that good to start or would i need to upgrade.
My dispatch is the owner of the van and his wife. Sorry I can’t be of more help. I will say if you are getting into the business to do otr do not expect to do much work in Florida. Rates are crap there.
@@ExpeditingAmerica I would have never known that you drove for somebody else I thought you owned your own van and operated all your loads you're very professional in your videos you know what you're doing keep up the good work I bought my cargo van last year but due to covet I had to put it on hold and now in the past couple months I've been starting but I'm doing everything on my own any advice that you have would be appreciated
@@djmer28 yeah man it takes money to get in and rollin so that’s what I’m saving for. I’ll always try to give as much info as I can. Keep watching! Thank you.
@@ExpeditingAmerica it's easier than you think the most expensive thing you have to say for is actually the cargo van itself any kind of modifications you want to do to it and the other expenses is insurance if you're going to be your own or operator you definitely going to spend some money on an authority and insurance but if you're going to lease on to some company like panther or any other company like that that's a cheaper route cuz the problem I'm having right now is that I'm a new authority and most brokers won't work with me but I'm not going to let it stop me
Yep that short term thinking and judging by the bad loads sure.this is a game of averages and doing what you can to keep the wheels turning as a “driver entry level” But I just looked back and that week I made $1580. Sure I gotta bust my ass but I’m not complaining bro. 90% of my income is a write off. And it’s not about now it’s about getting my own van and being an owner operator getting direct loads not load board jobs. Some times you have to pay dues and stay humble for a little while and work your way up. My channel is not to show a get rich quick lifestyle like most people think it is as a “driver” It’s crazy how when you keep it real and you’re obviously doing better than you ever have. People will still try and discourage you. Thanks for watching but like I said I’m not doing this for the NOW. I’m doing this for what’s to come.
@@ExpeditingAmerica It was his example not mine and it wasn't his only poor example. The guy seems very capable of doing all kinds of trades that could easily earn him $40+ an hour and still be his own boss. If he wanted, he could buy his own van and drive around every weekend.
@@richardmckrell4899 sure and I was doing that as a carpenter before I was doing this. I’ve also ran restaurants, managed bands and artists, and about 11 other things in my life. I enjoy this right now. What’s wrong with that? You think if i wasn’t making money or didn’t have a goal or way to financial freedom I’d stay away from home for no reason? There is a method to my madness. Best thing about it it’s my madness. Nobody else’s. I’m just here for your entertainment:)

Did you watch the whole video? It’s towards the end of every video
Who is dispatching you?
I don’t put their name out there anymore they are a small company and only have 1 dispatcher
bro why do not you have your own van?
Money and credit wasn’t right when I got into the business. We getting there sir
@@ExpeditingAmerica I wish you best of luck brother from Morocco
Dam bro get your own van! You can keep that 30% you giving up to the owner
No wayyyy?!?!? Lol that’s the goal man. If I had the money I would. Working on that!
@@ExpeditingAmerica
Lol..I know bro I'm just busting your chops a little, hey love the vids! Bubba is badass
@@e.j.c1795 my balls are busted! Lol and thanks man I’m just sharing my experience hoping others can connect and learn
That guy playing guitar was horrible. $820 divided by 72 hours = $ 11.38 an hour. Yikes! The 16 year old kid at Micky D's wins again.
Yep that short term thinking and judging by the bad loads sure.this is a game of averages and doing what you can to keep the wheels turning as a “driver entry level” But I just looked back and that week I made $1580. Sure I gotta bust my ass but I’m not complaining bro. 90% of my income is a write off. And it’s not about now it’s about getting my own van and being an owner operator getting direct loads not load board jobs.
Some times you have to pay dues and stay humble for a little while and work your way up. My channel is not to show a get rich quick lifestyle like most people think it is as a “driver”
It’s crazy how when you keep it real and you’re obviously doing better than you ever have. People will still try and discourage you.
Thanks for watching but like I said I’m not doing this for the NOW. I’m doing this for what’s to come.
@@ExpeditingAmerica It was his example not mine and it wasn't his only poor example. The guy seems very capable of doing all kinds of trades that could easily earn him $40+ an hour and still be his own boss. If he wanted, he could buy his own van and drive around every weekend.
@@richardmckrell4899 sure and I was doing that as a carpenter before I was doing this. I’ve also ran restaurants, managed bands and artists, and about 11 other things in my life. I enjoy this right now. What’s wrong with that? You think if i wasn’t making money or didn’t have a goal or way to financial freedom I’d stay away from home for no reason? There is a method to my madness. Best thing about it it’s my madness. Nobody else’s. I’m just here for your entertainment:)
ignore the the hater…. You must be doing something right lol . keep up the great music and sharing
Starting the video in ma city welcome homeslice
Thank you! It was a cool ass place
I don't think you find many loads out of Florida, are you?
No not really. It’s a load graveyard for expediting
Hi thanks for the video, it's very helpfull. I have 2 questions
1. If the van is yours, you don't split the fee right?
2. If there is no delivery on the way back home, you will loose a lot of money just for the gas to go back right/?
In these old videos I drove a van for someone. Now I have my own van. If you’re worried about being home this is not the job for you. To make good money you have to be out 3-4 weeks non stop.
@@ExpeditingAmerica when you drove for someone else was it 1099 or W2?
