Thank you, very informative. Permits - better to have them and not need them than to need one and not have it!
You hit the nail on the head! Agreed 💯
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
I honestly like that you show actually what the loads are and how much they are making. I haven’t seen any videos like this. Definitely will subscribe and like.
I’m at three months of authority and I missed out on $36,000 this week for two loads, being a new authority is a struggle😢
Execellent content. I'm learning to dispatch and broker process. I can run two lanes and have a group of owner operators all with over a decade of experience. I'm organizing everything and A2C is a great resource, speaks clearly, provides info of what matters most and seems to genuinely look out for drivers. Time to Binge on A2C vids.
Thank you and I look forward to doing business with you.
Fantastic, glad to hear it's been helpful to you. Thanks for stopping by.
Please send me a link on how to get all the permits and thanks for the video
I need to come see you
If youre not an experienced business person before starting a trucking company dont even think of owning a truck and trailer the brokers will eat you alive. It takes experience to know how to figure them out and also handle the many many issues that arise during load deliveries. These dispatchers just want a piece of you too. Book your own loads.
Ok so your solution is to make less money because of a lack of experience or a lack of know-how. Think of it like this, would it hurt your ego if you made an extra $1,000 per week? That's an extra $50k per year. Off that extra $52k you'd pay us $3,640 and keep the rest. What a terrible service!
In business/ any type or business or model there are assets and there are liabilities. A truck is a big huge liability, whereas a trailer is actually an asset.
A truck pulls a trailer. A trailer is not self-propelled. A truck is a depreciating asset, not a liability. Unless you finance it, make payments, and never drive anywhere....and even then, depending on the tax situation, it may still be depreciated to lower taxable income. Still an asset.
you have any tips on best way to purchase first reefer?
I just got a trailer and was doing power only because its more options with a trailer i was hoping things would change i think the trucking industry is finished its no money in it anymore, cant even make money no matter what if you run the numbers the loads are paying too cheap for anyone to keep doing this it doesn't make sense to me to how fuel went back to $4.30 average and the loads are all cheap and i know because i use 12 load boards and nothing is oaying enough to make sense $7800 is the minimum to survive and thats not possible anymore and if anyone thinks differently they will find out when they need to do a inframe engine rebuild i dont know but i see now that the trucking industry wl collapse and society will fall because it cant go on like this
It is true that operating costs have gone up, fuel has gone up, and repairs are very expensive, absolutely true. However, with that in mind, let's not forget that everyone has different operating costs. I have a driver who's operating costs are just above a dollar while others are at nearly $3/mi. The issue now is fuel, as I believe we should expect it to spike during the winter months. It's rough.
Which load board if it's DAT, Which subscription, it makes a difference
For the driver Reggie that did Mon-Mon $9200….. was that with a 34 hr reset? Or running on recap hours?
34 hours restart I have 30 minutes left when I got to the last stop and 10 minutes from the truck stop
Thanks for clarifying Reggie, much appreciated sir!
Number 3 is where I failed. It was the first time I had made that much and I didn’t pay attention, instead I paid for everything else lol.
Be sure to watch the following video - ruclips.net/video/l9Wcf4LwEGw/видео.html it's from January 2021 but it will definitely help. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi I’m also in the driving in history more on the limo side looking to expand my business into the cargo side due to how the market is looking to start off with two sprinter vans. Any advice on looking for loads in new clientele.
My advice would be stay out of HotShots and LTL which includes Sprinter vans.
You can find clients via load board, working with brokers, using a dispatch service like ours, direct ship, doing your own due diligence, and making lots and lots of phone calls, emails, and stopping by to shake hands.
Do you do hotshot if so how are the numbers on them
Why you think most people don’t have a business plan 😅 we are business owners
Too bad you guys don’t work with box trucks 😢
Hey brother. Let’s chat!
Superior Wi to SLC UT 3,24 ?
it looks like 2,24 per mile to me
Mr Genius.. Telling review your business plan. Never mention anything what to look in business review. Only advise is Google and there a lot of tools. Never mention what to look for tools. The video is so Generic that it blows my mind that you took time to make the video.
Do you work with brand new authorities ?
There's no way he could've did 6 loads in a week when 1 trip was a 2 day trip and most shippers are closed on sundays so he couldn't have delivered on a Sunday. So remove Sunday out if the equation because they're closed. And take another d5at away because there was a 2 day trip from superior, wi to salt lake city, ut which leaves you with 5 days. I've been dispatching for 7 years. I know the game. Even if there was a 6th drop it would've taken 2 days to do it
Most does not mean all. You should know that after 7 years of dispatching.
Forgot to mention oil change every 10,000 miles
What is ur dispatch fee?
Hi there and sorry for the delay. Our truck dispatch service fee is a flat rate of 7%.
Should you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at (801) 448-6363 Ext. 1
Trailer is the money maker NOT the truck. Customers do not give one single solitary crap about your truck....as they only care about the inside of the trailer.
Outside of towaways and loadouts, how does one plan to haul 40k Lbs. of freight without a truck?
Do you handle dispatch for a fleet?
Yes absolutely. We dispatch many fleets and have been doing so for years. Give me a call and let's talk about it. My direct line is (801) 447-6929
@AFTDispatch Do dispatch day cabs? I'm in So cal and looking to put my truck to work, and put a driver in it. Interested in power only if possible.
Thanks God Bless
The reality is that unless your lucky or resetting your logs its no money in trucking
Your comment is one of the main reasons why I published today's video about two hours ago. Please take a look. ruclips.net/video/rJEQAB8r2sQ/видео.html there is a lot of money in trucking. I've made money in trucking in good and bad markets. Watch that video and you'll understand that there are always ways to make money in the trucking industry. Our entire country is built around it.
@@AFTDispatch your right it is alot of money but besides being delayed at the receiver and at the shipper for 10 hours and not get detention pay or given the wrong delivery and being put in a terrible position by these new unprofessional people on the shipping side of things, it's too many variables that make it very difficult to make money besides being told crazy prices for only 1 bad brake chamber at $1000 because of the labor charged. All my loads oayed well this week though but ots to get a good run for a whole week straight.
If you stop screwing the drivers with bs loads and bs pay they will work. You are just blaming the drivers MF. Companies like urs are not perfect Awhole
