How’s it going for you now? Still booming?
@@TAD0002 Gave up on box truck was too hard to find loads for me. just hit 90 days authority got me a 2015 international prostar sleeper truck 45 days ago
@@kendrichand and you’re only using DAT or other load boards
@@kendrichand Do you need a dispatcher? I’m on the hunt for more clients and would love to chat
@@Caddy911 are u still dispatching?
thanks for the info . I am new to this and now I see why it look like a different language lol!
Thank you bro for this video!!! SUPER HELPFUL!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks, extremely helpful...
Thanks for the video Jon knowledge is key 😎👍👍🇨🇦
@Jon Gay, Who is responsible for loading and unloading Vans. I know truck drivers are not responsible for loading and unloading trucks but are the van drivers responsible? If they are responsible for loading and unloading than one person cannot operate a van and that would be too expensive. Your answer will be helpful.
95% of the time there is someone at the l shipper or receiver to do so. From time to time the driver may have to assist with a palletjack or lift gate operating if needed.
Any work on here a Mercedes metris cargo van?
most of the time i unload my box truck myself with my pallet jack to speed up the process and get the load checked and signed out, to save time! but you can sit in your cab and wait to get it unloaded but it could take up to 2-3 hours if they are busy.
This was really helpful. Thanks 😊.
Thank you bro, excellent presentation 🔥
New to this current broker takes 25% need to find my own loads with a 20 foot box truck thanks
Yah the secret is really to use the load boards only if you really need. I would recommend extending our to finding direct customers
I'm new to this, would.like to start. Looks like i have alot to learn! Is there a place to take classes to learn how to navigate this or any loader software?? Need to learn Terminology, loads etc...thank you!
Hi, I am thinking of buying a van and going OTR. So this is valuable information for me but you go pretty quick. Hard for me to keep up. Not familiar with all the terminology. But, Thank You!
Hello Bruce have you ever done this type or business?? I would recommend working for a fleet owner (someone that owns a van or truck ) to get the grasp of the industry before you go out buy a van or try to run under your own authority and bid your own freight lots of expenses. Just my opinion I've been doing this for 10 years now so I have seen people fail without the information they need to succeed
Did you get a van??
Expedite Travels I have over 12 years experience from working With many moving company’s. My father and uncle still run the road moving ppl. I’ve been working now as a supervisor for a warehouse delivering super expensive furniture using box trucks. I’m in the process of doing my own thing. I have no problem getting a truck, insurance etc. but what your advice for someone getting started
@@willpalmer989 I'm in the process now. I don't have the experience you do but I can definitely tell you to fix your credit first. Then register your LLC or INC.
Rhyan Anderson Im sure this helps with getting better coverage/ insurance?
thank you for sharing i'll be starting my own Authority in a few weeks. if you are out of philly i would like to meet up if at all possible.
Hey did you set up yet??
@@TheMindIsAll hey I didn't get set up yet, I got held up. Right now I I'm saving for a home and my Authority. I'm gonna take it slow because I want to have some extra cash for my authority.
Getting funding is simple once you fix your personal credit. Have you registered your business name or opened a business bank account yet??
@@karenpatterson3726 Get a home first, then go into business. It's an advantage to be a home owner when getting business funding. Good luck
Very informative 👌✔
I'm thinking of getting a freightliner sprinter but what specs should I get? Whats the industry standard minimum payload and minimum standard length?
Thanks a lot Bother!
Refer means your box is refrigerated correct ?
Yes
I have a 16’ GMC 4500 box truck with a liftgate how would I get started
Thanks for the info!!!! In Northern Maryland and getting things together to start. Would a 10 or 15 foot truck work?
you are going to be limited with the type of freight you can haul.
Can I get loads for moving on this system?
I’m in need of a dispatcher

What other load boards are good for box trucks ?
Sylectus, Amazon Relay, Truckstop, MyVirtualFleet. Have used all those before
@@inmotiondispatch Do you think Sylectus is the best ? It's expensive to get but I'm willing to if it's worth it
Sylectus is the best
@@inmotiondispatch how do you feel about my virtual fleet for sprinter vans? The fee of $500 plus $70 a month seems expensive but is that the best way to find sprinter van loads? I’ve seen some good and bad reviews. Some will call it a scam.
Hello I want to start a business what's the first step to start. Thanks
Yea same. I know auto transport, but I gotta learn boxtruck dispatching also
What other options can I use for my 26’ box truck other then the ones you showed in video?
For load searches on DAT? I believe that may be it. Maybe some flatbed loads that can fit in a box also
but you may have to block and brace and get creative with load securing.
Thanks
Guys i need y’all recommendation please share comments right now i am about to take a very important decision in my Life currently i am working as a truck driver for a warehouse so this warehouse has rental truck but my boss offer me a contract that i buy my own truck and i deliver his company merchandise to different locations i did my calculation if i take off all expenses include my salary i will make profit of 3000$ a month so i am very confused to buy or not because truck have lots of expenses if broke down, your recommendations is much appreciated Thank you 🙏🏼😊
I want to start driving truck but after seeing your comment, I am not sure anymore because I feel like $3k is too low for driving truck. I make $5k per month driving Lyft and Uber.
Take it. Don't doubt yourself.
@@geneva2883 you start off with one truck then get several. That should be the goal at least.
First off there shouldn’t be a rush to jump in trucking because it isn’t going anywhere. Second you should stack/save your money before you jump in for those silly reasons your so worried about. Third, you should get the truck load ready before you put on the road anyway.... Not talking about you but you shouldn’t buy any equipment and think everything is good to go straight to picking up loads.
@@iamOAKland good advice. How u stack money when you can't even save any though?? I think working on credit is the new equivalent to "stacking"
what options would work for a sprinter van?
VH, van hot shot
Would this work with a 26ft flatbed ?
This is for enclosed box trucks. for a 26 ft flat bed you would do similar searches. for equipment put "D,F,K" deck, flatbed, and specialized.
@@inmotiondispatch thank you so much for your reply 🙏 I have a 26ft international flatbed truck that I inherited. Do you think I can start and build a solid business with this ?
@@andresl6313 There are going to be some challenges like with any business. I would keep doing research on how you are going to get loads and the cost analysis of the company and go from there
Does this work for someone brand new into being a owner operator? Will they trust you to take the loads with no experience?
Did you find out?
@@jorgec30 not yet still wondering
Please what name wibsit for searching
Is their load boards for 16/17 foot box trucks
It is all the same load board. just alter your settings
@@inmotiondispatch could u tell me more Fam what u mean I’m new I haven’t even got my first load yet smh
@@slabdaddyoutdoorstvchannel2435 You go online to DAT Loadboard. Sign up and pay a fee every month. Punch in what you have and are looking for like he showed. Pick a load and call the number for that load. Negotiate the price. Hit the road.

please make sense of this ... if i have a van why would i put van with reefer ?
VR does not mean van with reefer it typically means van or reefer.
what does DH-O mean can anybody explain briefly?
that means dead head the empty distance you'll run to go pick up the load
@amdy meaning you dont get paid for until you pick the load up?
@@lawrenceedwards5167 you only get paid for the miles you drive WITH the load in the truck.
Are there loads for cargo vans though?
It’s under Van hotshot
Are you still driving?

@@rockyonfire1I work 😂tech sales and I’m going to bootcamp for QA tester this summer. Once you pay for gas, insurance and van payments it just wasn’t worth it for me to be out on the road for a month or two . I do want to buy a van again and just travel and continue to work remotely.

Hi, what is size of box truck under 10000lb? Is it 14ft or 12ft?
26foot
12ft
To be non DOT regulated, you can't haul more than 10k lbs total. That's the freight combined with truck weight. If you have a sprinter van, you know you can't load more than 3500 lbs, maybe 4000 for a promaster, or Transit. as the vans are not designed to haul more. Most DAT loads I've seen, offer very low pay for long driving hours. Sometimes, you might find one at 1.00 a mile, but rarely more than .40 to .60 cpm...Why? Because too much competition. You don't have to have a CDL, many retirees, instead of buying a motorhome and travel in America, they're buying sprinters and hauling freight to get paid to see America instead. Then the small independents are bidding low to get the freight. Get a CDL B....and buy a straight truck if you can, you'll get many more and better paying load offers...
Where do you suggest I can find those better paying if I have a 26ft box truck GVWR 33k
@@amdyniang5949 They are getting harder to find, because many people are hauling freight. All you can do is search. If you have a 26 truck, andl get loads out of a big city like Chicago, the trick is bid on multiple loads that pay separately. If you get a load going to El Paso TX, take unrelated loads that pay separately and drop on the way to El Paso. Thats how money is made in this game with so much competition. Good luck...
Got a dodge ram and a 25ft cargo box trailer I'm from washington if anyone has some work for me reply to this
Do somebody owns sylectus account? Can somebody share the account with us. We can pay half of the price.Can somebody advice where we can find loads for sprinter van? We cant load our sprinter in PA.

No No is there a business phone number to call?
Brother, the rates are so f. ridiculous!. 😳 What's your point here?
Sam Verdes the point is to show people how to use the load board to find more loads for their equipment. Negotiating rates and the lanes are on you, if you take the posted rate, that’s a bad a business practice. You have to negotiate and know your worth. This is also one lane in PA, the rates may not be as good there as others.
@@inmotiondispatch No Sir, it is simply a worthless piece of video. Brokers just allow to negotiate on a very narrow range. Based on those rates it's still not worthwhile. To run your authority over such a lousy business model based on continuously "begging" to brokers it's just a game for fools. I know there are plenty of this kind out there. I wish the industry wouldn't be destined to behave like it is today, but it is unfortunately.
Sam Verdes no one is saying these are the rates you should move your truck for man. It’s simply an instructional video on how to utilize the search tool . Feel free to troll someone else’s video. Thanks
@@inmotiondispatch Troll your video, noooo man. Just gave you my thoughts on this you decided to do a video teaching people to use the board in order to bankrupt.
Sam Verdes the name of the video isn’t “use this way to Find all your loads” it’s how to use the load boards, it’s a tutorial not a guide on how to run your business. Using loadboards exclusively is not the ideal way to run a company , you are correct. But, it is a good way to fill in the gaps when you don’t have loads from direct shippers or outside customer
If you all haven't seen a documentary called... It's worse than you think.... By revelations of Jesus Christ ministries.... I suggest you do... All praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ
My friend has a ford transit 250 van 🚐 what kind of loads can I help find for him
It will be difficult but you can use these search parameters to start
