Contracting with more than one company is how you really can thrive in the Drive away business...Having a tow car as well... Thanks for the info. I was a transporter sometime ago and that is what made the difference in the pay outs. Good fortune to you and God bless.
How many companies should one work for at one time to be able to stay running with no down time as much as possible? How many companies should one work for so you can cut down on flights between jobs? What companies do you suggest?
Hey man I’ve really been considering doing Driveaway recently and wanted to know if you have any tips for someone who is new to the game. Much appreciated
@@davidfromhouston7889 make sure u fully understand driver log rules and don't pass weight stations or skip out on permits during the week. Some are closed Sunday. Getting caught without one child be anywhere from 1000-3000$ fine for a 10-100$ permit. $300-500 for passing Station. Avoid dirt roads, the list goes on and on.
@@davidfromhouston7889 always negotiate and see what can be added for travel. Calculate you mpg a mile or 2 lower than what the trucks get. All units are different. Make sure it's worth your time with fuel and travel subtracted from total. Never Buy fuel with comdata card. Pay cash and always keep any receipt that u get even a drink from airport. It's all tax deductible. Remember this is 1099 private subcontractor. You will pay taxes instead of receiving a check. Anything over 200 is too much for a flight. Sometimes u have no choice, especially if u wait too long. If it going to Miami and pays good go for it. Flights are under 100. Use at least 3 companies at a time to save on travel. There might be a unit close to delivery with your second or third company
Appreciate the insight and your experience; Your saying they spotted you 50% up-front. that's $1800. And your expenses were just under $1800.00. So I don't see a dilemma? Would I have gotten a connecting flight through Ft. Worth Dallas etc to save on the flight cost most likely.
Hey down from Georgia 🙏 I'm getting into the game let me know what company doing the crazy shit i don't have time for BS good job 👍 bro take care of yourself and family 😷🙏✌️ don't be a slave for no One 💯🤔
You have to calculate before you except the job. $1700 in four days is not bad. You could have easily made less. But I understand where you coming from everything is a hustle.
So...let me ask this. AS an actor, and never knowing when I will get booked, and also being a window cleaner working on ym own. would this be beneficial?
I forgot to explain to my family what my job was. I told my son i was gettimg milk years ago and forgot to elaborate i was moving a milk truck cross country. Anyway it got me away from my nagging wife so i don't plan on going back.
@@rello2.011 how do you be sure to get loads? I have the ability to acquire a straight truck, my dad is a dealer. He wants to feel secure before he gets me the truck that it'll pay for itself.
I know this was as of 1yr. ago. As companies keep growing, some usually lower the amt. they pay the independent contractors to move things across the country. That said, I understand they paid around $3600 total for the trip, 1/2 up front & the other 1/2 sometime after the trip. With the travel expenses of getting there, fuel along the way & getting home expenses totaled around $1900, the end pay for the trip was around $1,700 for a 4 day run & you're taxed on take home pay, after expenses. If I understand, with 25% taken for self employment, it would've probably been somewhere around $1,275 for the final take home pay. It depends on your monthly budget & where you need to be for income & not every gig app should be depended on for full-time income. It's equally inportant to diversify, wherever you can. Depending on where you live in the US, $1,275 for 4 days might not be enouh for some folks.
At first I thought the 'Gator' was University of Florida. Then I saw the shirt and thought Izod. Whatever, hope you are doing well, friend. Add, GO BLUE. M!

What companies do you suggest?
I did driveway for 6 years and it's easy. Only a fool would pay 600 for a ticket. You can easily make 1200 in 4 days if you know how to move around. 😎
My thoughts exactly! $1600 for 4 days of work is very decent if you ask me!

Tax write off . I made doing health studies. without the work. Some Amazon location only have mail delivery .
the program at TSOA seems to solve a lot of what you talking about. dont they cover the travel expense if you keep running?
Where do you sleep when doing RV driveaway, since your technically not allowed to sleep in the unit.

Thank you for the info....I. looking into it now
Good information thanks
Seems like it’s all about budget.
It is that’s key
You have to calculate before you except the job. $1700 in four days is not bad. You could have easily made less. But I understand where you coming from everything is a hustle.
Thank for the information 👍
It seems the best way to make income is to stay on the road and not come home.
Damn i live right by glassboro nj that wouldve been perfect lol
I was recently introduced to TSOA and considering on doing it. I do have a kid so I’m on the fence
Can you give me more detail information on the Amazon straight truck info
Has there been any more info on the amazon partner program ? The numbers you quote and set up is the same door to door stuff
The company is supposed to pay for fuel
Awwww so precious ♥️
So...let me ask this. AS an actor, and never knowing when I will get booked, and also being a window cleaner working on ym own. would this be beneficial?
Yes for extra flow of income it would
@@rello2.011 did you have a tow cart? Cuz I was thinking between a plane ticket and a train ride they'd be about the same
They gave you 1800 upfront where did the struggle occur at
I forgot to explain to my family what my job was. I told my son i was gettimg milk years ago and forgot to elaborate i was moving a milk truck cross country. Anyway it got me away from my nagging wife so i don't plan on going back.
Wow my on camera delivery was trash back in the day 😅
Bill of Lading took me a min too lol
Ty for sharing.. nice one..puppy wants to go out pee or poop😅
Imagine if you had a tow car, you would have saved more
Con: Dealing with Chase/Shuttle drivers that drive like maniacs with other people in the van. 🙄
Hey bro og if you want to do team driving let me know will talk later ✌️
She (dog) probably thinks you're going crazy, talking to yourself.
Thank you for this. I have orientation on Dec 7th....?
This dude said bill of landing……..😮😂
So if I'm in Virginia, in order to get a load, I have to get myself to Indiana? All trips begin in Indiana?
Yes don't do it I left that b.s and became a owner operator
@@rello2.011 how do you be sure to get loads? I have the ability to acquire a straight truck, my dad is a dealer. He wants to feel secure before he gets me the truck that it'll pay for itself.
What about taxes? $3600 That’s roughly $1,080 in taxes bringing the payout down to making $600-$700 right?
Iam a 1099 and all the he put out is a business expense.
@@jajajaja2624 you're saying he probably gets to keep the $1080 by claiming enough in deductions?

It’s a 1099 they don’t take taxes out
That boy don’t know math lol. It’s actually 2263 lol
Can you negotiate rates?
Instead of that ticket.. shoulda booked another run from California
Glad I don't do driveaway anymore
There aren't any RV factories in California so how you going to book a run from there?
At first I thought the 'Gator' was University of Florida. Then I saw the shirt and thought Izod. Whatever, hope you are doing well, friend. Add, GO BLUE. M!

Hi I’m from Nigeria can I apply for drive ways job
Hello I am the captain of driveaway companie you can not work for us goodbye.

Do you take your dog with you?

Your fault for not picking up a bull shi run to get closer to home. Would have been some money at least.
So basically it’s not worth it
Hey bro do they let you take the pup with you
Yes
