Who you brokering with 👨🏿🏫?🤞🏾
I'm finding that in the social media era Madison Avenue is merely one path of cashing in on athletic/Olympic success. Gabrielle Thomas estimated medal earnings: $110k Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone: $210k. She's been on record as saying she doesn't desire fame and fanfare. Simone Biles: $135k Alaysha Johnson: $0
Do you need commercial plates? Even tho van is under 10k
@@Ruseagloballlc That's a per state question. But commercial plates aren't required for vehicles 10,000 pounds and less in South Carolina.
If you complete a certain amount of shop and delivers in a week they will give you priority. and expanding their shop and deliver offers National. They just got the Costco account and Think Instacart is in serious trouble now. Plus there still trying to get Get rid of cherry pickers with tier program @ Non-platinum Dashers will not get large orders. Yes they do play games.
You will never find any company in the US with a federal business contract that isn't forced to hire employees based on an Affirmative action quota.
That's the worst vehicle to deliver gig food. You could have bought a Prius with 3X MPG. Prius also allows to run the air conditioner on battery while the engine is off while waiting for a new delivery order.
@@Nova-m8d At the time the video was uploaded (February 2023), I was still in the transition from doing mostly gig food delivery to last-mile gig delivery and brokered opportunities.
@@giggeezer Ok, but is the van actually profitable when all the bills are paid. Was it worth buying a van? I know fuel is very expensive.
?
Wish load board I can used to get a load for sprinter cargo van
Long trips means more milage on the vehicle.mean more maintenance. That can cost a lot
@@Enomar208 , it's quite the opposite, so long as the driver is not hauling excessively heavy loads and dogging the engine and transmission. In short, highway driving under normal conditions and load circumstances requires less maintenance beyond an oil change.
Well, I think I called it correct. Possible but not likely.
Mr. geezer, I think you should do a track and field channel besides your business channel for delivering products. If you create this channel that focuses on track and field, I think it will do great because of your detailed information.. also you will have a different type of audience which may even grow faster than your transportation business channel. you would definitely have me as a subscriber you could even have your channel where you’re top high school athletes all the US all over the other countries and you know talk about them individually as a group maybe even interview them on your channel that will be amazing just a thought
Hi is it hard to become your own insurance agent so you can fill out your own paper work? New subscriber here so I haven't gone through all of the videos yet but I'm working on it! 💯
Great content! Thank you 🙏🏽 new subscriber 🥳
What’s that winding sound?
Thick tire tread.
Would enjoy a onversation about these rates! Do you gave a private message set up?
You hit it right on
This seems to be your wheelhouse....maybe a sports channel?
My formal background is journalism, and I worked as a sports reporter.
Alfred is from St Lucia...I think
You may be right. My bad.
Great segment
Hey, can u share what brokers gave you an opportunity when authority was less than 60 days?
Yes. Negotiating is very important!
Hey giggeezer do you have a video/would you make a video on what load boards you use or how you find your work? Looking to start this hustle up. Thanks

I've experienced too and I've seen all the con games that both parties throw at people. There's concrete issues that need to be resolved it and it's the 800 lb gorilla in the room. If you want to hear more of the truth you have to get away from the mainstream media and follow more of the foreign correspondences. Because real journalism is dead in this country. And you're highly intelligent and you want circles around most gig tubers. In one of the recent problems I had with these gig tubers that talk about doordash is this experimental program that's probably in a couple markets because it's not even on their website and they haven't even emailed me about it is in home delivery where you get extra money for putting the groceries on their counter. They have this one guy who's a cheerleader for deliver this and he was talking about his experience about doing a catering armor or the delivering it to someone's home and how we felt uncomfortable doing it. I couldn't believe his response because he said that he's starting two businesses which he never mentions what the businesses are he's keeping his secret if you have a business you don't keep it a secret. I did a catering order does someone's home on a Saturday I could have just dropped off their order in the garage and left and make my standard amount of money. But I saw opportunity they had six chafing dishes and Sternos. Because if you have confidence an experience with this type of order which I did I fulfilled the order fully and got a extra cash tip that doubles what I made on the order
I know both sides exaggerate and they are both guilty of it. And there's people who are incompetent in both parties. I don't follow mainstream news anymore. I love you alternative news and they analyzed the differences between the Republicans and Democrats and both parties are not doing what's right for the country. That's the problem other countries they have resolved this problem but not the USA and the reason why is because we're spending too much money on foreign wars. We can solve these problems but if you put a majority of the Democrats in office these problems will not get solved if you put a majority of any party in office these problems won't get resolved. Like at California it's a one-party State and they're going bankrupt! Until you like people that actually care about this country. That's why I don't even watch like regular news on the news channel because they bring their slant to it. Is the same cliches. What this country needs to do is get the hell out of these foreign entanglements. All the arguing about is issues that divide people it's not going to solve the problem the reason why I file politics is because I don't want to lose my freedom. It will be all big corporations controlling everything. And both parties have corporations that are influencing the party so don't tell me they're going to do anything to help the little guy they're not. Just look at cities like Detroit run by one of the most corrupt people for over 20 years. I was born there. And they're gaining population again since 1958 Less then 1%
Thank you. Been saying this. They are using us like always.
Good GG
I hope all your viewers value your experiences, I hope they listen.
Racism exists. Still. Vice President Kamala Harris has all the best qualifications to be President. Education, brilliance and tenacity. It is not easy, racism is never easy neither is sexism.
She also has all the corruption and lying skills needed to be a president.
What is she going to do to help gig workers & small business startups. Biden weaponized department of Labor. Force people to get to C19 shot I'm trying to change the rules of a 1099 independent contractor. These jobs are meant as supplementary income jobs not full-time a very small majority of people work these apps full-time I was working instacart & Doordash full time. Not anymore because it's unsustainable to do 10 to 20 deliveries a day.
Education doesn't make you smart depending on the source of it. She's definitely not brilliant, I may agree somewhat on the tenacity part. She's a cheek in the seat and a heartbeat that's all the Democratic Party requires at this point. We're all going to pay a heavy price too!
Great segment
Unfortunately, get geezer you’re entering into politics here and most of us don’t really give a damn what’s your politics are so leave it out of your videos. I used to look forward to watching your videos. I won’t any longer, just because a person looks like you does not mean they are anything like you. That statement is incredibly highest and racist. You should be judging people based on their character not their looks.
They are terrified of her and grasping for straws. I LOVE IT !! Kamala 2024 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You didn't comprehend a single fucking word he said. Kamala is the biggest token of them all.

Easy money
You helped me out saying deduct the equipment off my taxes. Let me go ahead and keep a record of it right now. Forgot to think about that
good info geezer, i get the EXACT SAME swithout delivery partner gigs at last minute, all three...well done, honest..wait for the right time at the right price depending on your location , your future opportunities opportunities in that area, etc,....
Hi Gig Geezer, I'm in the Charleston area and I was looking for someone to add e-track or plywood to my sprinter van. Do you have someone you would recommend? I can come to you with the supplies. Thanks.
It would be interesting to know how a food catering order would get passed from one app to another? Does it get sold off from app to app until someone figures they can make the money they want minus the carrier off of it?
It's algorithm based. If after a period of time on certain orders, the algorithm will pull from, say in this case, Dlivrd, and dispatch it instead to DeliverThat.
Lol act of public fellatio..... you have a way with words Geezer😂😂😂😂
Good content
👍
Bet there is someone on the inside
I stick mostly with Grubhub. At least there's no tip baiting and ratings, and they pay welll.🎉
I just got my van delivered neighbor, I'm in Charleston. I did a lot of research but I'm stuck. Any pointers would be great!
What sources (or avenues) of income have you lined up for yourself prior to delivery of the van?
It costs $1 a mile to drive a van. Dont forget your going to need a replacement that will cost you alot more.
This is great advice man. I see you getting some gray in that beard. Tell these kids you gotta stick with something for a minute and when they see they can count on you then more comes your way. Been a delivery driver all my life. Take what comes and makes the best of it and you will make money
You are a breath of fresh air! Great content that I've been looking for...
