@@ExpeditingAmericaHello Mr America I'm glad you getting your engine on your van i got me a job with my friend driving a box truck I did my first delivery from PA to TX and than TX to FL to IN today
It’s just wild they first said 75 minutes then 45 then 45 then 30 then 30 lol I wanted to try and get another company but then that would be another hour or so. Glad I got it there before the mechanic closed
I think it will in time after growing it. So far most the people buying it are people who know me in Florida. A few sales are coming from the TH-cam because I recognize some of the names. It’s a slow process and there is a lot of competition out there. Thanks for watching and thank you for driving those big ass trucks across America for us.
@ExpeditingAmerica Fingers crossed for you bud! You're right though, it would've been worse if it had been stolen or crashed into! Keep smashing the miles and earning, you'll have her back soon enough hopefully 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😎😎😎
Glad to see things progressing and I'm glad you didn't give up. "Dream towing" who dreams of waiting 5.5 hours for a tow? 😂. Enjoy that Florida weather, we got almost 8 inches here in Minnesota. It's definitely not fun being a courier in the snow. Before you leave, ask Florida if we can borrow a few degrees till we get back on our feet up here😂😂
Yeah they picked a great name. I won’t lie the guy that did show up was super helpful and other than the long wait it’s all good. I’m just happy we got there before 6
@@joeyportelli7976yeah but that’s a big rig not a small van. It shouldn’t cost him for than $6k even if they have to get a bunch of stuff. He has a whole new engine pretty much
Brandon I'm glad to hear your van is on the way to the hospital to get a new heart. And soon you will be back in your own van. Then I hope you receive a lot of high paying loads🙏
It’s different every week. You make more as an owner operator but you also take the hit on expenses. Everyone’s situation is different too. Some people like driving for someone and others like trying to do their own thing. The owner operator amount is maybe 15-30% more a month I’d say
@@markhale6105 I answer the question with every video I post. As well as mentioned this in many videos so it’s not that weird and it’s no secret. I average $1.00 a mile and do about 12k miles a month. Everyone’s expenses are different and I’m also not an owner operator at the moment so that may be why I didn’t answer with a dollar amount. Also if I put I make x amount then people will expect to make that and if they don’t then they get mad at me. That’s why I answer the way I do my friend
@@HarryF86 idk if you start today. Depends on who’s booking your load. Every day is different and everyone’s journey is different. I know people who start making only a few hundred dollars and I know people that make a couple grand.
1ST TO COMMENT!!!!
Wish I had a prize for you!

@@ExpeditingAmerica thank you sir when we meet one day on the road maybe we can have a cup of Bubba Joe coffee
Thanks for the video and update.
Thanks for your support through it all Scott
One step at a time, keep the positive attitude brother!
Good luck 👍🏻
Thank you!
Ready and waiting!
Hope you enjoyed the video
Waiting 5.5 hours for a tow truck is absurd lol. Glad Big Blue made it to the shop and hope this mechanic will get her all taken care of. Keep it up!

@DeanFace lol
I took the day off and got an unexpected treat. I am Glad to see you moving forward my boy!
Enjoy your day playing hooky. Thanks for watching
Hopefully all will be well for you. I'm a semi driver & I watch your vids. I think that coffee will be a game changer for you.

Great video pal 👍🏻 I hope you get it sorted within the next couple of weeks. This is an owner drivers worst nightmare! 😅
Much love! Yes this definitely has sucked but could definitely suck way more. Hope the mechanic doesn’t need to order many parts

One step closer indeed. i just want it to go smoothly for you. so many things can go wrong.
When I did the engine for my big rig cost me almost $30k but I was quoted at $15k I hope that’s not the case for Brandon and Bubba
@@joeyportelli7976yeah but that’s a big rig not a small van. It shouldn’t cost him for than $6k even if they have to get a bunch of stuff. He has a whole new engine pretty much
Yes I know. I pray it’s no more than $1000 in parts we will see soon. I just want it to work again
Omg Joey! That’s nuts! Those trucks are not cheap
Correct Eric
Good luck bro. I've been down and out like this before too. Sounds like you've got some great people in your life to get you through this
Blessed with so many amazing people in my corner for sure. From family, to friends, and viewers. I’m so grateful
Glad you’re still pushing. 🎉
Thank you
Glad you’re still watching

Yes going to try a new business model when I get my van. Expediting is cool and I can always go back to it if it doesn’t work out
Good luck! Great videos !
Oh no what happened?
I always wondered what 75 minutes was..., 5hrs!! SMH LOL
It’s 75 minutes on Jupiter lol
I came here to hate on the Crocs!!!
Hahaha I don’t blame you. If they weren’t red white and blue I wouldn’t have em 🤣😂
This why i stick to my transit easy to maintain. Mercedes are finicky and pricey. But glad you got a new engine.🙏🏽
I hope it’s not timing chain.
I hope not too he said if the timing chain snapped it coulda caused something similar I hope not too
Is that Balkan music?
Balkan? What do you mean?
@@ExpeditingAmerica a region in Europe
@@shamil454 oh I know the Balkan area but I didn’t know if they meant the artist name Balkan music from epidemicsounds.com
Damn
Is it a diesel or gas engine? Good luck!
did you have a warranty to cover it?
No it’s a 2019 and had 210,000 miles
How much do you average a week as a owner operator? Is it much more than a driver? I’m happy to see the progress
Are you?
@@Howard153am I what?

he never really answered the question…weird
