    Too many drivers per load ? Courier exchange will give you loads of bull saying the average price per mile etc ? They just want your cash ? And full of shark shippers ! No one wants half the work on there ? People driving long hours for nothing but beer money.

      @@BrentFord93 I'd start with agency and build up from there ? Pick a suitable vehicle to carry a wide variation of product skews ie mercedes sprinter lwb or luton curtainside as pallets can be put on with forklift? CX will sell you a golden road based on what THEY say is the rate per mile for your vehicle ! Obviously complete crap ! The only winner on CX is themselves and the shipper's! However CX will give you repeated phone calls to sell you a golden road to nowhere? Also we have Albanian and romainia and kurds which are working for nothing but beer money? Try a different game pal CX is just the bottom of the pit for courier work !! But don't give up pal if that's your intention but CX won't be making your pot of gold.

    Just found your channel and subscribed mate, loving the enthusiasm imo people think work should drop in their lap after joining the CX without putting the effort in.
    However i love the indepedence of the job and every day being different 👍👍👍

      @BrentFord93  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      My target is 3/4 days work

      @darrenrichardson6803 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Does £200+ pay all the expenses ie van devaluation, and maintenance of vehicle and insurance ? Me personally I think the best approach is finding your target market ie medium based companies that distribute lots of products and approaching them directly? Otherwise agency work has got to be better than courier exchange

    I am a new driver coming to the CX and most of the youtube videos I am watching don't give me much confidence in joining the CX
    They either moan there isn't enough work or the ppm is to cheap because of how many drivers are there bidding.

    • @BrentFord93
      @BrentFord93  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think a lot of people have way more experience then me so I can’t speak for others
      This is a tough time in economy cycle - the UK hit a recession so we’ve got to be understanding that’s it’s going to be tough but also be understanding what CX actually is for
      Because if CX is quite
      All the other companies shipping companies are quite
      That’s my take on it
      Supply and demand
      My game changer was speaking with local shippers & couriers to support more work that’s where you get your best money Aswell as your own local clients in your area
      I hope you subscribe and show your feedback and results how you get on

    Don't you feel discouraged with all the things that you mentioned and be like it's not worth it compared to what you used to do before full-time? Do you still think it's worth it and there's a room for growth? @BkyleFord

      This is the biggest opportunity of my life.
      I’ve worked in a lot of industries & this is the first one that’s truly clicked for me
      I believe personally what you do full time should be how do you find & then what you working for..
      If it’s not for ownership in the future of assets or brand equity
      It’s going to be a very long and draining life

      Great question btw! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
      Just to put it simply the vision I have over the next 20/30 years can be a 8/9 figure business
      I’m excited to see where it goes
