  • It’s okay to show the bad side of business, my cargo van broke down & had to get a rental, I can’t stop fulfilling my contracts or I lose them!
    These are the 3 most common mistakes I’ve seen happen since I’ve started my cargo van business almost 2 years ago. The point of this video is to hopefully help you avoid falling into one of these situations. The key is, do your research. Locally where you would want to start your business, and decide from there which route to take as you gather information and start to understand the business a little bit. Stick around for my journey, ask questions if you have any and between all of us, we can learn together. Stay hustling!

Thanks for sharing all this knowledge from the contract side of this business. I'm always taking notes when you drop one, hopefully when I build my fleet up I can land one of those contracts.

    There are local deals by me where you can rent a cargo van for a few hundred for the week. I noticed some loadboards require insurance and registration info, and I'm not sure if I can do that if the van is rented. It sounds to me like renting at the rate I mentioned would be fairly affordable depending on the work I could get but frankly I'm not sure where to find work applicable to my rental situation.

    Hey ruiz i have a question, if you had to start all over again , what would you do different. In terms of getting a van would you start with the trans connect or the econoline . Would you have gotten your aurthority earlier or later. Local contract or out of state contracts. Especially if you live very close to the state line. I want to start but i need these, they would be a great help in my decision to start.

      Hey brother, this is such an amazing question and I hate to answer it so late, first of all, I don’t have authority. And the best thing I could’ve done, I did, which is buy a low budget cargo van. And lastly (which is probably why I haven’t answer) I’m a newly dad so I’d rather stay local as I am. Again, I’m sorry for the late reply idk how I hadn’t reply yet!

      @@Tony.Ruiz08 When I said keep that money in your pocket, I mean it's better in your possession than a factoring company. I am located in San Antonio. I ran my own semi without the use of a factoring company. Some of them charge as much as 6%. If you average $20,000/month, you would be paying $1200/month in factoring fees. You could easily add more vans to your fleet with that money.

    • @Tony.Ruiz08

      The way I find contracts in my area is online through indeed. You can also use any other job searching app. Opportunities may vary depending on locations. When searching, use key words related to cargo van.
      Ex:
      “Cargo Van Courier”
      “Independent contractor cargo van”
      “Owner operator cargo van”
      Depending on the demand in your area something should come up and that’s when you look at the requirements such as vehicle year and insurance level required. Hope this helps!

      I do not. But if somehow you can do it and be profitable, and renting is your only option.. then yes. But the logistics of it better off owning one for MORE profits/cashflow . But again, if you can rent and still make a profit, go for it.
