  You don't have to pay me anything. This is just my opinion. Find a vehicle and get commercial insurance quotes. Sign up with as many delivery apps as possible. Also, get your MC#. You can find dispatch company everywhere, like on fb, Instagram Craigslist. Keep overhead low and income high. Make connections. Create a llc. The van business is not easy. Do a lot of research before spending any money. You got this. Best of luck. Thanks for watching.

  Did you buy the van in your personal name or under your LLC? Cause I know that if you put it under your llc. It'll force you to get commercial insurance. How you go about doing everything? Thanks in advance.

  @DaHustlaTv I bought under my personal. I ended up signing up with State Farm like he suggested, which worked and now saving just over $200 a month with similar coverages! Hopefully at some time I'll get to the point where I need commercial insurance, but for now I don't.

  If you're really wanting the big money in this business dont be scared to call or go in person to work directly with customers... Youll be saving them money cutting out the broker and also you cut out the broker/dispatch putting that money in your pocket. If you're local even better, a customer appreciates a local partnership. Get dedicated lanes/Quarterly bids out to these customers. If you using Gigs and delivering also ask to speak with the Logistics/Warehouse manager while there and see if you can get them pricing, its an easier conversation.. You gotta think outside the box or you will not make it. Goodluck all, I was a broker for 8 years and recently bought a Box Truck and Sprinter. If you have questions jusy ask, theres enough money in this industry for everyone to eat.. Dont mistake movement for progress.
