Hey Brandon this is my 2nd time watching this video. Matter fact I watch your videos at least once a week. The way you carry yourself, your willingness to put these videos together (THIS ONE WAS 30 MINUTES) most tv shows aren’t even that long. They have commercials and all.

Welcome to Wisconsin in one of our warmest winters ever, you were miles from my house. Have had a load taken back where we drove like one block and had to go back because the crane cancelled on the receivers end. They still had to pay a truck call, load and unload fee. Some double pick ups like that where got settled by the time stamp on the orders.

Eh. In my time with Gig apps they come in handy sometimes but the west and tear of using your breaks locally, less miles per gallon cuz it’s not highway miles.

Hey Brandon…Does dispatch handle billing for you to get paid? I’ve got a van with my authority but have only been using gig apps but ready to go on the road. I’m currently in the process of trying to get on with a carrier. The load board situation was just too much of a pain to deal with, especially having a new authority. I’m wanting to stay more regional (within a thousand miles or so) but not sure if that will work. Anyhow, I really enjoy watching your videos and seeing you and Bubba Joe out on the road. Keep up the great work my friend.

@ExpeditingAmerica

3 ай бұрын

Hey yeah the carrier handles billing and all. They have a factoring company that pays them out on the loads once a week. It’s hard to get in the game and be picky about where you go. I’m most cases carrier will test you and see if you’re really bout this life or not. They will probably give you bad loads at first. This is a business where who you know is very important.

You can help yourself get started. To be a driver you gotta find a fleet owner or carrier looking for drivers. (Very hard because so many people want to try it so you will probably be on list unless you get lucky) If you want to be an owner operator go to fmcsa website and educate yourself on what’s needed. It takes funds and a business plan. After you do some research and if you have more questions come back and ask and I’ll try and help more But this is all on you. Educate yourself my friend. How bad do you want it?

This is all my doing, my choice, my decision. I wouldn’t change a thing or take anything back. Everything is how it should be. I may do box truck, I may do many things. This is just a stepping stone.
