I appreciate your videos . It just opened up some doors for me. I’ve been contemplating my next move in life. My wife and I have been thinking about buying a semi truck and have someone drive it for us. With the information that we got from you, I’d rather start something that I could drive myself then transition to hiring a driver. I’m happy to see a young brother being his own boss. Stay blessed and keep the good job.
Thank you bro!! You dont have to help us but you are !!. I been in ATL stacking 3 years to get in the box truck business, im so excited to get things going soon. Your motivation !! thank u
You are a wise young man. I drove a semi for 13 years as an employee. Twelve years I was owner operator. My total years in the industry is 25 years. I am burnt out with driving semi's. Once the pandemic hit. I took a course to become a freight broker, but I don't feel I learn any more than what I already knew from being a truck driver. I just gave away money. I am considering connecting with Amazon in some form. Thank you for sharing your experience with them thus far. I wish you much success in your endeavors. Be blessed.
I was nervous to start a box truck business until I found this video. Been working for someone else since I was 12 and I’m 32 now so this a big step for me.
Scared money don’t make no money. Remember that! It’s going to be the best decision of your life just don’t give up and don’t listen to anyone around you telling you to give up.
I read through all the comments and realize people not watching the entire video which he answer what a lot of people are asking. Great video. This is the most thorough video I've seen on this. You got a sub out of me!
Definitely very helpful. I've been considering starting a transportation business and, have been doing some research. Was trying to decide on either a box truck or a semi. Most of the people I know own semis and, have given me their perspective on the industry. I've talked with guys with box trucks but, they seem to be a bit reserved about giving out vital info. Inspite of that, I still gravitate more so to the box trucks because they're a little more convenient (size wise) and, seem to be in high demand so, I needed this video to help me make my decision. Thanks and much luck to you.
As a cdl driver I'm kinda tired of the long haul this is something I am considering doing at some point get a couple box trucks and run the business with my wife
I have a 2002 Isuzu FTR 26’ box One owner it was my dad he’s retiring great truck automatic AC rides good you can even sleep behind the seat 12 grand roughly 360,000 miles runs strong still in use.
Thank you soooo much for this. I’ve watched almost 100 videos trying to get to the basics of getting started. I was loosing my motivation because I wasn’t learning anything new. I just love the content. I’m in Columbus Oh and I have a single box truck business that I am launching this week. This video reignited my drive😁 I’m going forward with it now. I thank you! I can’t wait to learn more as I go.
@@brentmccullough335 I sure can. What stage are you at in the process? I literally documented my process in detail so I could assist others starting out.

I was about to put down my (smoke) and get a cdl when you popped up in my feed. I subscribe to a bunch of trucking channels and I wanted to say thank you for your transparency. I can currently cover the overhead you spent. I believe I'm ready.
I found a 26ft box truck with a front axle weight of 10,000 lbs and a rear axle weight of 19,000 lbs. does that require a CDL, and will it be considered as a 26,000 pounds box truck. I don’t understand the weight measurement.
Thank you so much for your information this is what I plan on doing when I move to Tennessee you’re not that far away from me me and my son and like you we wanna scale it
You're a blessing. Thanks brother! My spouse and I have been leaning towards the box trucking industry. We're located in the GA area too. Everyone that we knew that said they would give us more info about how to get started wouldn't even return our calls. I'm grateful for you dropping these gems. Blessings to you and your family.
@@pallavikalsi5276 You may wanna leave Georgia though. The area is Oversaturated. Particularly the Atlanta area. (Because for whatever reason, Everybody wants to live there) Is it really worth it???
Dude you definitely are a blessing, I have been juggling with either hotshot or box truck, and I had no info on box trucks, no idea of how to start, thank you ever so much, like you I am in a position to purchase so I definitely will be reaching out soon,, will subscribe right now
Hey I have been a w2 employee driving these deliveries to USPS every night for the past 5 years. I am really trying to get in on this side of the business. Just filed for my business license and EIN. Mc + Dot will be coming soon. Going to be starting out business with a cargo van to get my business running to keep cost low but you are living my goal!
This was a great video! I am at a point in my life where I need to start making real money so I can start a family. I've been looking into starting a box truck business because it seems it will allow us to live the lifestyle we want(no boss/set your own schedule) and also be able to bring in boatloads of cash. I was thinking of starting something like theboxtruckcouple and involve my partner, but Amazon seems like a great option. I currently work at amazon in a fulfillment center and hate it, but working with amazon this way would be okay I guess.
I’m scared to make the next move on my own. Financially I need to be better but keep saying next year. Keep up the work my man. I miss going with my grandfather on his jobs telling me about hood (good not hood lol) customer service etc.
You helped out a lot. Thank you so much for your wisdom good sir. Would love a truck if you got one lol. But don’t worry I’ll make it happen. Keep them tires rollin
Awesome!!!!! From the new start up ZanWay Logistics LLC dba D & J Trucking. Thanks for being transparent, real, and very informative. You’re on your way. My wife and I are waiting on our authority to be approved and you explained a piece I omitted (The UCR & BOC3) Thanks I’m on that now!! Lol 😂
Very informative video brutha!! Really helped out a lot. I’m only 25, one year older than you and out of Philly and you’ve been an inspiration to me haha. Keep pushing man. I’m really looking to obtain a box truck now. I already have trucks but I just do junk removal. So I’m going to try to obtain a newer truck soon. Thanks again
This is highly informative and encouraging to listen to. Listening to the video makes me want to just jump up and start the next day. I will listen to it again and start writing down the requirements needed to start the business. Thank you so much.
There is so much to Amazon relay they don’t tell you. Just the box truck industry in general. I believe you need a 5500 lb pallet Jack too. You only can really profit if you own a truck like he did. It’s like 5k/mth to rent a truck. You have to open a LLC or S-Corp, then get DOT, MC, BMC-91(filed by insurance), CA ID# (California), MCP, UCR (California), BO-3, gas, commercial insurance is like $1,500/mth like he said. It’s insane to get started.
We been trying to start finally we got our internarional maxforce but we put bumper to bumper warranty just in case also My insurance down payment is $3600 what are your recomendatios! Our international is 184,000 miles only pretty new
uber freight and convoy run you day 1. great video. you did a great job explaining. net 7 is great. uber freight is 1 to 4 business days after you drop load.
@@ErickaWilliamsCC thank you so much for your response I’m in Cali and thinking of getting a 26’ truck and I was told no one would hire the truck due to it being a new start up
Awesome information, I fix cars so I m definitely looking to get into this line of work. Me fixing the truck myself will save me money in the long haul
21k isn't bad if you have it. This makes so much money,u can finance and pay it off within months as it pays for itself. I'm going to look u up on Instagram, I'm trying to get into this within 1-2mths
Question: Are you running these loads from one Amazon warehouse to another warehouse OR are you delivering to homes to customer? Also can one apply when they are one hour away from the nearest Amazon location? Like the USPS requires workers to apply within a certain zip code. Your video is excellent!
Thanks bro I’m a dump truck owner and I’m looking to get into another transportation opportunity. This peaked my interest so with more research I may get into this space. Much success to u bro !!!!
How much you average a month (gross and net profit) and how many miles/hours you drive a week? I'm interested in doing either hot shotting (truck or cargo van) box truck or dump truck. Thx
First..drive for a company OTR ( over the road) to learn about the job..you dont need a CDL driving a 24-26 FT box truck. Second save money as much as u can..banks dont give finance to get a commerical vehical..when u get a loan on a box truck from a dealer..u will be paying almost 24% internest, cuz u are new to the trucking business..make sure u put warranty on it..cuz one major issue csn run cost 5k to 20k..dont buy an old truck..i mean DONT...i learnt the hard way.. Third...lease ur truck under a company..run for them till u get ur own MC and insurance..dont just get MC number and pay 1200 monthly on insurance..brokers wont use you..till your MC is at least 3 month old.. It is not bad leasing ur truck under a company..u still.can average between 1500 to 3500 a week..OTR If you like to chill at home., smoke weed and socilize..this job is not for you.. I know the video talking about local runs..these local runs are almost close to.impossible to get them..i know what i am talking about , i have been running box trucking LTL.. business for 6 years now.... Then 6 month after you save money get ur own MC and run for yourslef..Amazon relay dont pay shyt..dont believe me? Download amazon relay app now and look how much they pay per mile.. Once u have ur MC..u dont need amazon..connect with brokers and trust me u will make.some serious money.. Then get drivers with their own box trucks, let them run under ur company and MC..dispatch them for 13% Thats how excatly i started 6 years ago, now i dont.leave my house ..i own 6 box trucks and 13 runs under my company for 13% dispatch fee.. Follow these steps and u will be bad mofo at what u do.. Dont think it is easy..it is the hardest shyt u will ever experinced Peace
Working for a company as a CDL driver seems like a total rip. You doing the right thing man you're your own boss with the freedom to do as you choose. a good example of a true businessman
You're right. But if you're working under SWIFT, or Werner, you really don't have much of a choice. Especially as a Trainee Driver. When I went through SWIFT training they had me and my Homeboy sleeping in a Hotel room with 6 other men. GTFOH. Not to mention you may have a trainer who doesn't wanna drive. So for that 6 weeks of training you may be having drive the Whole time, without any help. They also have the Leverage to Fire you at ANY point. And you gotta pay that CDL training back. (Even though I quit before the BS went down) But a lot of cats had to pay that $$$ back. Especially the operation in Memphis, Tenn
I concur, finding the truck is the biggest factor. Been lingering on the inventory the past month on the search, even checked into Enterprise, they’re charging the same range as Penske & Ryder.
Thank you for the info ! quick 2 questions when filling out llc paperwork what do you put in for the description of what the company will be? and do I have to be extra specific when it comes to describing what kind of things will be transported?
im in the middle of researching this box truck move and im happy im came across this !! thanks for the intel !!! is it just you by yourself or another in the truck with you? also if you had 2 trucks you could hire someone to drive the trucks for you through amazon??
Yo two questions I see you got a 26’ I’ve been looking at those but Do you seem to always use that much space or typically you get loads under 20’ ? Also, what type of MPG You get of the truck ? Thanx for the valuable info brother much appreciated
Hi DemetreusB, thanks for the great content. I am interested in buying a truck and getting into the business. Really appreciate your authenticity and real-world relevant insight. I used to live about 4 miles east of downtown Atlanta off of I-20. Stay safe and best regards,!
My bro I really appreciate the knowledge I'm in process starting with Amazon soon. I really need the insight. I will DM you about finding a truck if that's cool. I'm out of Texas!
@@demetreusb Im in San Antonio.. Box trucks are high here but probably cheeper than there.. Id like to put a couple box and Big trucks on with Amazon asap..
Thank you for the extensive and useful content! I will be getting into the industry very soon, and I was debating between a box truck and a tractor trailer. Could you provide some insight as to which vehicle you think would be better revenue wise?

Then 6 month after you save money get ur own MC and run for yourslef..Amazon relay dont pay shyt..dont believe me? Download amazon relay app now and look how much they pay per mile..
Once u have ur MC..u dont need amazon..connect with brokers and trust me u will make.some serious money..

Thats how excatly i started 6 years ago, now i dont.leave my house ..i own 6 box trucks and 13 runs under my company for 13% dispatch fee..
Follow these steps and u will be bad mofo at what u do..

The way my life works, I will never get to do this but love to hear about the hustle. Get it homie

Working for a company as a CDL driver seems like a total rip. You doing the right thing man you're your own boss with the freedom to do as you choose. a good example of a true businessman
FACTS. Thank you bro!
@@demetreusb Bruh. You're doing great things. Any advice for Class B CDL drivers? Seems like you're making WAY more $$$ than me. LMAO!😄😂😄
You're right. But if you're working under SWIFT, or Werner, you really don't have much of a choice. Especially as a Trainee Driver. When I went through SWIFT training they had me and my Homeboy sleeping in a Hotel room with 6 other men. GTFOH. Not to mention you may have a trainer who doesn't wanna drive. So for that 6 weeks of training you may be having drive the Whole time, without any help. They also have the Leverage to Fire you at ANY point. And you gotta pay that CDL training back. (Even though I quit before the BS went down) But a lot of cats had to pay that $$$ back. Especially the operation in Memphis, Tenn
Got that box truck “course” money and dipped.
I truly appreciate the gems dropped in this video
This my kinda content inspiring and realistic.i drive big rigs but the figures you talking got my attention
Thanks for watching and feedback! Stay safe driver.
I concur, finding the truck is the biggest factor. Been lingering on the inventory the past month on the search, even checked into Enterprise, they’re charging the same range as Penske & Ryder.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your experience and information. Shoutout to Cincy from Springfield, OH💪
Thanks for watching bro!
DT466 are great motors, owned 3 and loved all. My brother got a maxxforce after I told him not too and he found out the hard way.
How much did u take home with the other 2
Thank you for the info ! quick 2 questions when filling out llc paperwork what do you put in for the description of what the company will be? and do I have to be extra specific when it comes to describing what kind of things will be transported?
Just choose trucking and transportation keep it simple choose or write/type general freight
Thanks fam , to many times,I've been kicked down about my dreams
Glad I could help! Other people can't see your vision only you can. Keep it to yourself and get it done bro!
This was an incredible video much appreciated man so much.
God bless you bro for the video. Very informative and helpful 💯💪🏾
How many hours a day does this require with a Day Truck? Do you get to park your truck at Amazon or do you need a separate place to park?
im in the middle of researching this box truck move and im happy im came across this !! thanks for the intel !!! is it just you by yourself or another in the truck with you? also if you had 2 trucks you could hire someone to drive the trucks for you through amazon??
Thanks to THIS channel and Mr. Demetreus I'm on MY way, much love brother.
Already! Thanks for you're support bro.

Thanks a million!!
No problem bro!
This definitely helped me get the ball rolling. Thanks
Yo two questions
I see you got a 26’ I’ve been looking at those but
Do you seem to always use that much space or typically you get loads under 20’ ?
Also, what type of MPG You get of the truck ?
Thanx for the valuable info brother much appreciated
Very well spoken and organized. Good job 👍🏻
Hi DemetreusB, thanks for the great content. I am interested in buying a truck and getting into the business. Really appreciate your authenticity and real-world relevant insight. I used to live about 4 miles east of downtown Atlanta off of I-20. Stay safe and best regards,!
My bro I really appreciate the knowledge I'm in process starting with Amazon soon. I really need the insight. I will DM you about finding a truck if that's cool. I'm out of Texas!
You go it bro! I used to live in Houston.
How long did you have your authority active before applying to amazon?
@@demetreusb Im in San Antonio.. Box trucks are high here but probably cheeper than there.. Id like to put a couple box and Big trucks on with Amazon asap..
When you made 20 k! Was that Solo or did you have your father's help aswell??
Thanks so much for this video! I've been saving my lil coins to break into the business hopefully next month I will make my purchase!!
Good info, you are right about Penske. Paid 55k for a Hino with 160k miles on it.
Thank you for the extensive and useful content! I will be getting into the industry very soon, and I was debating between a box truck and a tractor trailer. Could you provide some insight as to which vehicle you think would be better revenue wise?
Glad it was helpful! I think if you want to make more semi is the way.
@@demetreusb Thanks!
Did you make it in the industry yet
