This was by far one of the greatest and most helpful fear quenchers of them all. Every company stokes new owner operators with the fear, "No one will work with a new Authority". It's a soul leeching experience and you've just killed those bastards in one stroke. Excellent work.
Never TQL. Uber is cheap freight. Convoy went out of business. Relay is cheap freight. Landstar is good with UPS. Schneider used to be good. Knight is ok sometimes. R2X will rip you off. It's just hard out there. You have to have a strong back.
Such a doll. sorry just gotta say it. Thanx for the info. I was at a place I booked 95% of my own loads after being dispatched on a Double Brokered load and I have to cover it. What a $8K nightmare. Personally I get a little tired of dealing with brokers. Greedy and it's especially hard when you are the driver and you are tired and exhausted (most of my loads I just book on the fly once empty). So I throw that in on how I've ran fully over the last 3 or so years and it is so frustrating to get somewhere and talk to some other driver and their ratecon is for an amount they wouldnt give it to you. Discouraging
Hello Miranda, just wanted to thank you for all the information you’re providing for us. Your videos have helped me start my company after a whole month I am finally authorized! I was able to book a load with a small broker and did exactly as you said. Kept them updated with the whole process loading/unloading, delivered the load on time safely & secured now they call me when they have loads in my area. PS Stop making such good videos you got me binge watching them like a Netflix series!! Hahaha
You rock, and have helped me through so many steps! I greatly appreciate your videos, and thanks for taking time out of your days to film and edit content! Kudos to you,
I spent 8 hours today watching yours webinars videos and it was like a star wars trilogy easy to watch and very helpful. Thanks a lot for you job. Thanks again!
Great video, as a new broker, I worked with a lot of new authorities. To me, it was the person I talked to…sure, I did feel like I had to monitor them a little more, but it’s always worked out.
Landstar wants minimum 6 months. I wonder if the reason their rates are so bad is if they are actually the old loads not getting bids on their proprietary board for the leased on guys.
Ty so so very much because my mc# is only 45 days & I’m dealing with exactly what you said, to the T. Ty for all the information you have given ppl like me new comers. We all want the $ but many of us what to help USA as well.
really enjoyed this video my husband and I are in the process of getting our authority and this was very helpful to have a list of brokers with will work with us as we get our foot in the door, my husband has been an owner operator for some time now but now its our time to build our name and our company. I have really enjoyed a lot of your videos you do great at explaining.
Great video I'm a utility worker $100,000 annually my coworker quit after 13 years he's a box truck owner makes runs with Amazon and he loves it now it's my turn
I’m glad I came across your channel. I’ve been driving for 6 yrs now and my partner is retiring at 55 yrs old and wants to get her Class A and purchase a truck and start a business. I’m sure we will have a rough start because of her lack of experience but we are excited. We are hoping to be on the road by next April or may.
These brokers you listed do they work with sprinter vans? Have you ever done a video just focused on that side of the business, could you. You seem very knowledgeable...
@@rockyonfire1 You work with Cargo vans? I have a Ram Promaster 2500 high roof Currently do not have authority or commercial insurance, skeptical paying out this money and finding out no one will hire. I'm in CA, if I got new authority and commercial insurance, you'd be able to get me loads?
@@Paul-kk3vq I will be honest with you. These days most brokers require atleast 6 months old MC before they start giving loads. Some brokers like TQL give loads to the new MC's but they don't have many sprinter van loads. If you want to do this business long-term then you should get your MC, for the first six months try to get connected with local businesses and get local loads. And btw I will be your dispatcher from day 1.

Melanie, I just found your great videos and have a couple of questions. Why did you open a second company for dry vans instead of including them with your refer company? I run two types of equipment with my company, belt trailers for various commodities and refers for various types of cold products, or dry loads. Not knowing where you are located I'm sure it's not California where AB5 was passed, since you are looking for owner/operators to lease on with you. I'm old school, so my handle is Scorpio. 10-4?
Miranda haha. The second company has a different insurance provider which allows us to hire newer drivers. Our OG company has very stringent requirements from insurance for hiring team members. I am located in Cali, so AB5 is definitely something that affects us. CA is the single worst state to run a trucking business out of, but what can you do? Roll with the punches as I always say.
Honestly speaking landstar doesn't work with new authority. I tried multiple times tried to book a load for new MC but they always say that they need minimum 3 months of authority
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful sorry . I was saying mAke a how to about box trucks meaning loads/Authority everything because it’s the same but different in ways. a lot of people want to know/it’s hot right now .
Miranda how do we get our insurance on file with the FMCSA, are we supposed to call our insurance agent and have them file form BMC91 or BMC91x?? I read this on FMCSA website but just want to double check with someone who’s already done this
Hi!! Just starting over here, thanks for the informative videos! So when you say that you have to set up with them...what does that mean? Is there a form or application or process to be done before actually going on line to book a load?
Hey I was reaching out to see if you had any recommendations far as a broker that work with new MC’s? I’d appreciate it if you can recommend someone for me I am trying to find loads as a new MC my DOT been active for 180 days
70% of the brokers you just listed no longer work with new authorities. Swift and ch Robinson/ need 1 year. Amazon 6 months. But this is a helpful video none the less. Tql is great but they don’t pay well. Maybe do a new one since this is a year old now and the game has changed so much
@@rockyonfire1 currently nothing because I closed my company and got an office job. But 6 months ago I was in a 19 international LT625 that was mine and mine alone. And what a damn nightmare trucking was from start to finish. Shitty industry full of good people just trying to get by and big business and government standing in their way.
I recommend starting an LLC and getting an EIN. In terms of tools: Computer, Internet, Printer and scanner. Also I recommend getting a loadboard subscription
Not necessarily true. So many times where my shipper wants a price lower then what a carrier wnats to charge. 80% of the time. People should not assume
HELLO YOU ARE COOL, I OPENED COMPANY RECENTLY AND SET UP WITH AMAZON RELAY . AFTER PERFORMING 3 LOADS , AMAZON MADE ME UNABLE TO BOOK LOADS , I CAN SEE LOADS BUT UNABLE TO BOOK . BUT ALL 3 LOADS PERFORMED PERFECTLY A+ , I DUNNO WHAT TO DO . DO U KNOW WHT IS THAT HAPPENNING , ANYONE ESLE WITNESSED SAME ISSUE LIKE THAT?
it's actually better to get consultations when leasing to see your specific situation. Most companies offer a free consultation... I know our company has one
Thats a great question. I have never worked with power only but from what I know, you would need trailer interchange insurance if you are pulling the shippers trailer. I would recommend you double check though
CH is the best on the list. Period. I do 10+ loads a week for them. And i always negotiate. I dont think this info is accurate. TQL trash. They have nothing to offer, unless you have time to waste lol
This was by far one of the greatest and most helpful fear quenchers of them all. Every company stokes new owner operators with the fear, "No one will work with a new Authority". It's a soul leeching experience and you've just killed those bastards in one stroke. Excellent work.

75% of gross for company drivers with their own equipment???? Jeez !!! what is the guaranteed take home average for drivers?
You should state drivers who live in California should apply, because anyone else cannot lease on due to that AB5 law.
it's actually better to get consultations when leasing to see your specific situation. Most companies offer a free consultation... I know our company has one
