I love the see brothers making moves. I love trucking being a owner op changed my life. $8000 investment 2006 freightliner century class returned $131,000$ the first year. That's home every day weekends off pulling containers.
Can I ask you a question. I'm considering this business but are they talking about large semi 18 wheeler trucks or small cargo vehicles like the Amazon trucks? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
I am up at 1:44am doing research on how to start a trucking company and this interview was amazing! I am truly grateful for the information that was given. This is the motivation that is needed for people like me that are starting their own trucking company. This was truly a blessing, thank you!
Hi, my husband and I have owned a trucking company for over 10 years now and own 10 trucks. He drove in the military and has over 30 years of trucking knowledge. If you have questions that we can try to answer, call me 334-782-9166. Just like to help us(our people) in anyway that we can. Be blessed!

I bought 2 truck cash within 6 months and I love it working on my 3rd I have my authority and all, I see all profit and on my on schedule, but he stating alot of facts but starting up in the trucking business you shouldn't want all those bills at the beginning. Get started with a good cash truck then after you can start leasing.
@@Gislaina yeah but buying used you can end paying alot in repairs. I bought new and didn't have to worry about any truck issues for 4 years. Paid off in 2 and half years and stacked the last year and half for 2nd truck. But buying used can definitely workout. Our 3rd truck is used but now i had the capital to fix without stretching us thin. I was just showing the other side.
Trucking is a great way to make a living, but you have to enjoy driving, that's the number one. If your interested in becoming a truck driver there's plenty of schools out there; some schools will even put you on a bus to go to their school and put you in a hotel. You will never be without a job becoming a trucker as long as you take care of your license. I'm a local driver in southern California I work 5- 12hr days weekend's off and my annual gross in 80k per year with full benefits. There's money in this industry.
@TylerJames. My father owned a trucking company for 45 years and one of his biggest sayings was that you cant borrow your way to wealth. I wish you all the luck but be careful with the debt of a lease. Cash is King! Safe travels and God bless!
This is one of the best videos about starting a company that I have been able to find. Great job to both of you, and thank you for taking the time to do this.
Great information thanks for sharing the business side and much respect to you both!!! I'm a Truck Driver as well for 10yrs now and wasn't looking forward into ownership but now I am. Love the things your guest spoke about, how important the Driver's are. A lot of companies I've heard about over my years presented themselves this way, but turned out to be nothing like they claimed to be. Gotta love the vision an concepts over all his collaborative perspectives he has and approach to doing business!!!!✊ Sounds like a place that has nothing but successful happy, stand up, as well as hard working driver's Congrats man Congrats 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪

In the mean time I'm working on our business plan. Now I've got an idea for a timeline to set up our own trucking fleet. Thank you for this video.

Ok, just for the black people then. Why is it okay for black to help black and noone else, but any other colors do that, they're racist? Y'all full of it. I don't need anything but my own two nuts, go on ahead and help your own, it's that kind of thinking that pushes others away from you, others that would've could've been allies and even friends.

@B Smoove I disagree. If you don't OWN it, then you don't really CONTROL it. The truly wealthy own it all and then they lease it out to you and me! The wealthy OWN the pie while we purchase little bits of their pie and sell little pieces and call ourselves rich. You can lease your way to some riches but you can't lease your way to true wealth.
@@rickycharles9418 lease your cars, lease your house, lease your business, lease it all.....such foolish advice. Only a broke person who has no concept of power and wealth, believes u should lease your way to wealth. Go ahead and lease furniture and lease and rent all your equipment....lol. ok.
@NGU Caesar yw. Leasing is a fine way to start, get in any game, learn the ropes, build money, test the waters with less risks, etc...but if u want to be a long term player in real estate, stocks, trucking, land, manufacturing, etc..... then OWNERSHIP is key. You cant pass down a "lease" to your grandchildrens grandchildren! Leasing is for short term in YOUR lifetime, while Ownership is for the long "generational" haul. Our problem is that most of us cant begin to fathom the notion of OWNING. Good dialogue. Thanks for the discussion around this topic.
By outsourcing his dispatch and laying on top of driver. He’s no better than a pajama broker. He’s getting his nails done while you sacrificed your kids first step
I'm in trucking and will be using him and his company to set my trucking on. I've been looking for him for quite sometime. My time commitment is limited.
Wow this is thinking on a different level. Thankful that your partner reached back to his own culture to provide a service. Your team banded together for group benefits to save additional costs. My brother you have a Master plan, well executed. I have three trucks and hit so many of the issues you talk about. Time to partner up and get the right relationships.
A word of advice I give to people who consult with me for logistics primarily speaking for the asset side as a trucking company owner or people who go down that route. The best way to go grow in terms of proper scalability is following this rule of thumb: 1. If you think you can afford 3 trucks , buy 1. 2. if you this you can afford 6 trucks, buy 2. 3. If you think you can afford 9 trucks, buy 3. If you scale in this manner you will thank me later as to how you kept cash flow healthy. That's my advice I give all people who come to me for their authority advice and consulting. Great advice in many segments in this videos. Thank you for being an ambassador of our industry with these posts where people explain their journey. Also, dispatching is a great business and can be lucrative for sure. keeping in mind that all new driver's you retain, make sure to treat them as if they were your next of kin; they will take care of your with their service. Happy trucking everyone !!!
Exactly, at 31:49 min. There’s a lot of drivers, BUT Honest, Trustworthy, hardworking drivers? Not too many. If you take care of them, they won’t quit on you...
I just started a trucking company and baby when I say I was so afraid. It is such unfamiliar territory for me. I did a lot of research and I know a lot of drivers and dispatchers. I seen it was a male dominated industry and it intimidated me a bit. I realized that being a woman in this industry has its perks too. I stand out more and you know how men can be 🙄🤣 They all want to see how I’m doing things because I am a woman. Building professional relationships is key to any type of business! Thank you for this because I learned so much by watching. Thank you!
Hi, I'm from India and would like to have few discussion and understand few things from you. Hope I'd learn few things from you. How could I contact you. Thanks.
@@tasha1206100 Hi Tash, Do you have an email I can contact you on? I’m a young AA woman and very interested in starting a trucking company. It’s very unfamiliar territory, or would you know a good source of information I can read for beginners in the business?
Man I feel like just getting my CDL was a mountain to get over. But I have it, and I’m hungry. I’m going to get this year in for some low insurance rates and boy! Sky is the limit 💪🏾. Thanks for the info guys
@@nicolesmith7345 Great so far, a couple of months after I posted this I went local for a few months. Now I’m doing oilfield work hauling frac-sand making 2500-3000 a week. My next move is buying a reliable truck. Hopefully a long nose Pete. I can’t complain, thanks for asking. 🤘
What if the dollar plummets, taking the U.S out as a major importer of goods? Then what? Consumerism won't last forever bro. Time to plan an exit strategy as well.
@@chrism3933 Nothing does last forever and there is much "What if (s) withal my view don't see this happening. Fact is trucking just can't stop mang. Only see innovative moving forward. To say trucking to stop is an economically round the twist assumption. Only in a Zombie apocalypse! 🤔
@@chrism3933 As far as consumerism goes in the protection of the rights and interests of our general pool of buyers, and an obsession with buying material goods or items. Soley depends on our collective VOTING power. In keeping our democracy regulation the Laws and rules that protect us Americans who shop and spend keep our economy strong.
Really loved this interview, lots of great information. I’m working on getting my authority. I’m also going to revolutionize the Truck stop industry. None of these truck stops are designed by truck drivers, that’s going to change. Can you set this up for podcast? I’m a truck driver and I got all the time in the world to listen.
I have the utmost admiration for you guys. The wealth of knowledge that you covered on this topic was amazing. This is awesome! Thank you both for giving me the inspiration to make, what I now consider to be, an informed decision on what to do with my life.
@@netiamalone6309 what kind of advice do u need... Tune in to my channel...All things Trucking... Re vamping my channel.... Great VLOG's are in the works
That guy is definitely the business man to learn from & some way down the line most dispatchers and fleet managers have this type of business & good energy to help others cause this guy right here got a great sense of humor on teaching and helping others! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Outsourcing benefits the company not the consumer. It takes away potential US based jobs outside our community. I’m all for reducing costs and increasing one’s bottom line, but to the point where it hurts our community.
Yes mam, i understand from a business decision that this would be a cost effective option..but i also believe business has areas that pay back in a certain way, when ethos is applied correctly.
This is the best video i have seen so far on how to start and scale a trucking business yes you have to manage people and processes if you can manage people the right way you will be headed for disaster this video has the best advice i have heard thanks for posting this video
People worried about him outsourcing? Every major company from transportation to clothing outsources overseas it provides a larger profit margin. I’m a driver myself and I’m getting ready to lease my own truck in the next 6 months and aim to do exactly what he is doing. This man is a local success story yet people find anyway to downplay his success. If I could have this man as a mentor I would cherish the things he could teach me. This video is enough in itself to help anyone trying to get into the business. Thank you for this video
The technical name for this guy's business model. Is called " ASSET LIGHT " . He's not heavy in Asset Holdings fleet of 20 trucks. Once you hit 9-10 Trucks your considered a fleet by the insurance companies. The 150 Trucks under his dispatch management. Basically gives him a fleet of a 170 trucks but without all of the Expenses. It's a good model any one could duplicated in many ways.....
He telling some lies as well. I have been on trucking for 5 years and I would never tell someone to lease. You will find yourself paying 2 and half times what the truck is worth
Hey so I just started my own authority and my fiance has had his company for 12 years at one point running 13 trucks but some unfortunate circumstances happened and he knows my vision so we started our new company.. I have a revolutionary idea that could change this industry but I need the tools and guidance to execute and implement this.. watching this video is inspiring and I have to get in contact with these guys asap!!!!
Lol. You probably talked about it before maybe mentioned it. I know last year at this exact time I was talking to a neighbor about trucking. And today a year later here I am with this recommended. RUclips tries to be your subconscious reminding you of things. That's why old videos we used to see pop up periodically. Memory
So basically cozy up to the load brokers find ppl who need loads.. tax them for profit.. make enough profit take the operation to India to make more profit.
this was a great talk by the host and guest speaker. a lot of his advice can be applied to life experiences and business practices outside of trucking . And yes Demarco is a humble spirit that was so human. but listening to his life experiences prepped him for the variable trucking related innovations and developments that he spoke on. thank you for sharing.
Problem I see is this will seal the fate of the middle class in the states with all this outsourcing. Eventually it will be the serfs outside the castle ready to eat the King.
I agree but you can never learn too much. I started as a logistics analyst and became an owner operator. Like with everything else, there's never anything that you "can go without learning" in the business world. Too smart to learn something is plain stupid.
I like the info, except for going to another country and hiring people from India. He just helped out the other guys people and not his own. But I do appreciate the information.
Buying truck makes total sense only when you have solid reliable contract with guaranteed loads like DOD for instance. Leasing truck is also risky because you have to make payments no matter what.
I'm a dispatcher/fleet manager.. I dispatched/booked lot of loads for those owner operators trucks in the US, but I havent get any percent of those loads I booked.. I just earned $500 a month for salary coz my company I worked with now was out outsource.. sad reallity the owner gots lots of money and dont care for us..
Learned some things here but consider this. Being a new owner operator, leasing would not have been in my best interest to start. There are fees associated with compliance, running costs, as well as foreseen and unforeseen maintenance. You will still be responsible for all aforementioned aspects with a lease or major financing on a 50k plus truck. He said the load boards dry up, you still have to make that payment, regardless. If you own your first truck(s), your business doesn’t have to start out in debt with payment terms locking you in for up to a year or more.
It’s all about a persons financial stability some may not have the funds to just go buy a truck so they have to do what they gotta do to make things happen!!
Great interview, there were so many golden nuggets offered that I felt bad in not paying a consultation fee. Preparing the launch my logistics company. I will be in touch. Thanks for the inspiration and revelation to the transportation industry.
Why not do the same thing by investing in Dispacter Back Office in GHANA and TOGO ( West Africa ) and target the US and CANADA Market because there are Hard Workers there who Master English and French fluently.
Great, deeply informative interview! As a company driver planning to acquire my first couple trucks and seat my own drivers, this was a gold mine! This guy touched on so many aspects of the business that I need to know! Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
20 - 30k is not enough to go out and get you a truck and start your business?? Obviously this brotha already had a lucrative amount money in the bank before he started... you don’t need 100k in the bank to start .the majority of people don’t have that kind of money sitting around and turned out very successful in this business ...there’s so many holes is this story ...but I appreciate his info and happy for your success
It just depends on how you go about it. Ppl have started with 8k-30k and are doing fine. There are 100 ways to get started. Ppl have different amounts of support and connections. It can be done
This interview popped up in my feed at the right time I'm currently trying to get into the trucking business. I have my US Dot, but looking for a decent truck to get my Authority and Insurance, definitely need to get in contact with him to gain some solid knowledge!!
I just don't understand how this trucking thing works. I have my own truck but could never get anywhere so I'm gonna sell my truck and work for postal service
@@33GLOCK You can view yourself as a God and trust in that huh? Last time checked their were more than a few its whatever you believe a God is...could be his cat. Back to the regular scheduled program. Small minds without a broad outlook! I guess
I know a lot of people who bought used trucks and they are doing great they are the ones who taught me about trucking. Just save your money for everything you’re going to need to operate your truck like breakdown maintenance tires motor transmission everything it’s going to take a while and a lot of discipline but it’s very possible and happens everyday. How are you going to own something if you’re constantly making payments and the interest rates are through the roof. Then on top of that he outsourced the job. All of our companies outsourced and when the pandemic hit we couldn’t get medical supplies because the company that makes them was outsourced.

3. If you think you can afford 9 trucks, buy 3.
If you scale in this manner you will thank me later as to how you kept cash flow healthy.
That's my advice I give all people who come to me for their authority advice and consulting.
Great advice in many segments in this videos.
Thank you for being an ambassador of our industry with these posts where people explain their journey.
Also, dispatching is a great business and can be lucrative for sure. keeping in mind that all new driver's you retain, make sure to treat them as if they were your next of kin; they will take care of your with their service.
Happy trucking everyone !!!

There’s a lot of drivers, BUT Honest, Trustworthy, hardworking drivers? Not too many.
If you take care of them, they won’t quit on you...

Yes!
Exactly...if you take care of ones business then the money will abundantly come as a whole

Thats how you can see bad management.

I just started a trucking company and baby when I say I was so afraid. It is such unfamiliar territory for me. I did a lot of research and I know a lot of drivers and dispatchers. I seen it was a male dominated industry and it intimidated me a bit. I realized that being a woman in this industry has its perks too. I stand out more and you know how men can be 🙄🤣 They all want to see how I’m doing things because I am a woman. Building professional relationships is key to any type of business! Thank you for this because I learned so much by watching. Thank you!
Same! Been AA woman owned trucking company since 2002.
Do you have social media? I’m interested in the business and would love to follow your journey!

No matter what Trucking can't stop. Everything in your household, down to the lint on your floor came from a truck.
What if the dollar plummets, taking the U.S out as a major importer of goods? Then what? Consumerism won't last forever bro. Time to plan an exit strategy as well.
@@chrism3933 Nothing does last forever and there is much "What if (s) withal my view don't see this happening. Fact is trucking just can't stop mang. Only see innovative moving forward. To say trucking to stop is an economically round the twist assumption. Only in a Zombie apocalypse! 🤔
@@chrism3933 As far as consumerism goes in the protection of the rights and interests of our general pool of buyers, and an obsession with buying material goods or items. Soley depends on our collective VOTING power. In keeping our democracy regulation the Laws and rules that protect us Americans who shop and spend keep our economy strong.

@@joshuamendes1565 do I have news for you. Automation will eventually take trucking jobs. Not for a little while though
Really loved this interview, lots of great information. I’m working on getting my authority. I’m also going to revolutionize the Truck stop industry. None of these truck stops are designed by truck drivers, that’s going to change. Can you set this up for podcast? I’m a truck driver and I got all the time in the world to listen.
I have the utmost admiration for you guys. The wealth of knowledge that you covered on this topic was amazing. This is awesome! Thank you both for giving me the inspiration to make, what I now consider to be, an informed decision on what to do with my life.

AMAZING!!
Demarco is incredible in his thought process and understanding if his business.
WoW so many GEMS in this interview. I'm on my 3rd playback so far. lol THANK YOU GENTLEMEN!
What kind of truck do you have
That guy is definitely the business man to learn from & some way down the line most dispatchers and fleet managers have this type of business & good energy to help others cause this guy right here got a great sense of humor on teaching and helping others! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
3 percent is a keeper. I would sign my truck on to his company
But he could be lying to you though?
This was amazing. Him speaking was so soothing and calming.
Outsourcing benefits the company not the consumer. It takes away potential US based jobs outside our community. I’m all for reducing costs and increasing one’s bottom line, but to the point where it hurts our community.
Yes mam, i understand from a business decision that this would be a cost effective option..but i also believe business has areas that pay back in a certain way, when ethos is applied correctly.
I agree honestly I fast forward the part where he spoke about outsourcing to India
This is the best video i have seen so far on how to start and scale a trucking business yes you have to manage people and processes if you can manage people the right way you will be headed for disaster this video has the best advice i have heard thanks for posting this video
People worried about him outsourcing? Every major company from transportation to clothing outsources overseas it provides a larger profit margin. I’m a driver myself and I’m getting ready to lease my own truck in the next 6 months and aim to do exactly what he is doing. This man is a local success story yet people find anyway to downplay his success. If I could have this man as a mentor I would cherish the things he could teach me. This video is enough in itself to help anyone trying to get into the business. Thank you for this video
How’s it going with getting that truck bro? Hope all is well
U have a driver already
The outsourcing got me going
Great video I’m a trucker and I’m creating some strategic goals
Amazing interview, love to learn from two successful brothers .. much respect !
Currently work for a big produce company called Delmonte. Made very good connections here, going to be subleasing trucks to them + drivers. thanks
The technical name for this guy's business model. Is called " ASSET LIGHT " . He's not heavy in Asset Holdings fleet of 20 trucks. Once you hit 9-10 Trucks your considered a fleet by the insurance companies. The 150 Trucks under his dispatch management. Basically gives him a fleet of a 170 trucks but without all of the Expenses. It's a good model any one could duplicated in many ways.....
He telling some lies as well. I have been on trucking for 5 years and I would never tell someone to lease. You will find yourself paying 2 and half times what the truck is worth
@@takodashabbael8794 is it because of how the truck depreciates
Man, I could listen to this gentleman all day. I feel blessed to have watched this video today😎
Very informative video. I'm learning about the business because I want to own my own fleet. Thanks keep the videos coming b/c I'm learning a lot.
Hey so I just started my own authority and my fiance has had his company for 12 years at one point running 13 trucks but some unfortunate circumstances happened and he knows my vision so we started our new company..

Great dialogue and wealth of knowledge based on experience. Thank you guys!
I am in no way into trucking appreciate the brother for dropping the knowledge for sisters and brothers who are looking to have their own
RUclips at it again. Telling me how o should be living.
Lol. You probably talked about it before maybe mentioned it. I know last year at this exact time I was talking to a neighbor about trucking. And today a year later here I am with this recommended. RUclips tries to be your subconscious reminding you of things. That's why old videos we used to see pop up periodically. Memory
@@imshaunnurse ijiuxuxuxu
is that good or bad ?
outta nowhere..they think they know me lol
They didn't tell o one single time...
This is one of the best trucking video interviews I've ever consumed. Really good! 👍
So basically cozy up to the load brokers find ppl who need loads.. tax them for profit.. make enough profit take the operation to India to make more profit.
I’m learning so much mane it’s unbelievable.. I’m definitely going to start turning my dreams into reality
This older guy has good knowledge
this was a great talk by the host and guest speaker. a lot of his advice can be applied to life experiences and business practices outside of trucking . And yes Demarco is a humble spirit that was so human. but listening to his life experiences prepped him for the variable trucking related innovations and developments that he spoke on. thank you for sharing.
Those indian guys are smart when it comes to this trucking business, I dont understand why a lot of American truckers don't like them
Because they don't pay the worker
Problem I see is this will seal the fate of the middle class in the states with all this outsourcing. Eventually it will be the serfs outside the castle ready to eat the King.
@Shooby Dobie That's called tribalism, partly why some groups don't succeed. Particularly why some groups do.
Yea it’s more easy for them they don’t have to pay taxes
@Steve H lol
I agree but you can never learn too much. I started as a logistics analyst and became an owner operator. Like with everything else, there's never anything that you "can go without learning" in the business world. Too smart to learn something is plain stupid.
I like the info, except for going to another country and hiring people from India. He just helped out the other guys people and not his own. But I do appreciate the information.
Ooooooooooooooe- good point
He is dropping gems. Wish I could invest/join his team.
I'm about to lease 5 trucks & networking with these guys. My investers would enjoy the benefits/rewards/roi he offer! 💪🏾

Great channel!
Buying truck makes total sense only when you have solid reliable contract with guaranteed loads like DOD for instance. Leasing truck is also risky because you have to make payments no matter what.
I'm a dispatcher/fleet manager.. I dispatched/booked lot of loads for those owner operators trucks in the US, but I havent get any percent of those loads I booked.. I just earned $500 a month for salary coz my company I worked with now was out outsource.. sad reallity the owner gots lots of money and dont care for us..
Learned some things here but consider this.
Being a new owner operator, leasing would not have been in my best interest to start. There are fees associated with compliance, running costs, as well as foreseen and unforeseen maintenance. You will still be responsible for all aforementioned aspects with a lease or major financing on a 50k plus truck. He said the load boards dry up, you still have to make that payment, regardless.
If you own your first truck(s), your business doesn’t have to start out in debt with payment terms locking you in for up to a year or more.
It’s all about a persons financial stability some may not have the funds to just go buy a truck so they have to do what they gotta do to make things happen!!
He’s very successful in the field so I’m going to listen to him
"Exit Scrategy. Then you buy a truck" get outta that"
That's a quote from this video.
Great interview, there were so many golden nuggets offered that I felt bad in not paying a consultation fee. Preparing the launch my logistics company. I will be in touch.
Thanks for the inspiration and revelation to the transportation industry.
Great info I would like to get under your umbrella for support.
Im about to contact this guy to scale my trucking company‼️‼️
Extremely informative interview with my determination of also starting my own business as a driver of 5 years myself💪🏻🙌🙌
Why not do the same thing by investing in Dispacter Back Office in GHANA and TOGO ( West Africa ) and target the US and CANADA Market because there are Hard Workers there who Master English and French fluently.
Which software would I use to do so?
Bad enough all of our product are made over seas now you want other countries to make money inside our country

The best informative video on starting a trucking company I ve ever watched. Thank you men. This is dope.
I am so interested in being a Dispatcher and never knew how. Thank you for this
He made me rethink the idea of a dispatch service
I think the biggest problem for truck company is lack of drivers
Lack of pay
I worked for Rahmel and I trust this brother thanks for the information and I want in
20 - 30k is not enough to go out and get you a truck and start your business?? Obviously this brotha already had a lucrative amount money in the bank before he started... you don’t need 100k in the bank to start .the majority of people don’t have that kind of money sitting around and turned out very successful in this business ...there’s so many holes is this story ...but I appreciate his info and happy for your success
He leased it.
It just depends on how you go about it. Ppl have started with 8k-30k and are doing fine. There are 100 ways to get started. Ppl have different amounts of support and connections. It can be done
Good to see brothers doing it I mostly see Indians and Arabs running trucking company's here in Cali
This interview popped up in my feed at the right time I'm currently trying to get into the trucking business. I have my US Dot, but looking for a decent truck to get my Authority and Insurance, definitely need to get in contact with him to gain some solid knowledge!!

Same here. I got duped on my 1st truck.
@@udob4939 Certainly interested in learning about your experience buying your first truck. Can you elaborate on it, or I can message you personally.
I know a lot of people who bought used trucks and they are doing great they are the ones who taught me about trucking. Just save your money for everything you’re going to need to operate your truck like breakdown maintenance tires motor transmission everything it’s going to take a while and a lot of discipline but it’s very possible and happens everyday. How are you going to own something if you’re constantly making payments and the interest rates are through the roof. Then on top of that he outsourced the job. All of our companies outsourced and when the pandemic hit we couldn’t get medical supplies because the company that makes them was outsourced.
Education is key. Thank you guys for this.
Thanks for the interview. Very useful for the Dispatching Services I provide. A lot to learn from this guys.
