1️⃣4️⃣New Entrant Phone Call

1️⃣5️⃣Pay your down payment for insurance close to the 21st day after applying for your authority
You have to wait 21 days from the time you apply for your Authority and you want to make your insurance effective a couple days prior to that to make sure the insurance company has time to process the filings so your MC will be active on the 21st day.

Love watching all of your channels. One thing I would add is a first aid kit with alcohol, bandages, Tylenol, etc. You handle a lot of equipment and GOD forbid you get hurt, you should be able to put disinfectant and bandage on the wound. I would keep Clorox/Lysol wipes in the truck as COVID is still a real concern. I would get a pair of sturdy gloves for both of you and a good flashlight to leave in the truck. Because you drive distances , I think having a old sweater/jacket in the truck would be great in case you need it. Also, please always wear the proper shoes…would hate for something to fall on your foot. I wish you both much success with your company. Keep the videos coming in all of your channels. I love watching you two.
I feel like I could start a box truck company tomorrow and be as informed as a 10-year veteran. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks alot for sharing again!! It won't hurt to keep 1 roll of shrink wrap inside of the cab, it really helps when you get a loose pallet.. blessings
Great idea!
Here for it!
Maybe keep a led rechargeable light in the back
Informative indeed! Keep sharing!
Thank you guys. A lot of people don’t take time to show us the essentials needed for the truck. Really appreciate it. I’m definitely making a playlist and notes on all of your content. Thanks BTC you guys rock 🪨

You might want to read up on having stuff in your windshield you can put stuff on your dashboard but not on your windshield unless it is a camera dot will give you a ticket for that

thank you so much
Great info. Appreciate the authenticity & transparency. What backup camera do you recommend? Thanks.
Thanks for sharing… I can’t wait to meet you in person 🌻
You can use road flares instead of triangle and you forgot add first aid kit and extra fuses! Plus you need to get that fire extinguisher mounted properly before you get a violation! You also don't need to have a eld in your truck if you are doing short hauls (150 miles as the crow flies) or if your truck is was made before 2000!
Delivering while distancing…love it ma’am and thank you for the video very informative…
Moving blankets from uline also?
What about the D.O.T. yellow or orange reflective vest? Are they required or optional?
Where can I get the blankets from?
I'm going the rentt route for my first time around. Should I be renting all the equipment too or just buying it all?
Regarding the pallet jack. Is it the standard size 27”x48” or a narrow one?
I have 2 Hinos for sale, Jacksonville, FL. (1). 2007 Automatic with 273k miles, 24t with liftgate, No CDL required. (2). 2008 Automatic with 202k miles, 26ft with liftgate, No CDL required
How much for the 26ft with liftgate?
@@alinacromer6738 send me your email, I just put it up for sale, I'll send you the link
What is you width and length for your pallet jack?
Is that a standard or narrow pallet jack?
Tnk you so much for all the contents you share.
My question was how much you need to start box trucking company. I’m thinking about getting to the game.
Depends if your buying or renting. I would say renting. Which I m the process now with everything is right around 10k
@@joshuayoung9913 10k to rent??? I'm getting my stuff about 3500

Thanks for sharing this information sister. Can you please help me where I can buy box truck 26f?
See OwnerOP77 Post
Hey Ms. Christy. What would be the first thing to obtain when going into a boxtruck business? Thank you.
A pallet jack and some straps 👍🏾
Greetings. I plan on getting the business. There is much more to it than I thought. Thank you for this platform. You are just about my favorite channel to watch. I will be operating out of Covington, GA. My question to you is, is it realistic to think that I can be successful without being on the road for weeks at a time? I actually want to be home everyday. I realize that successful is broad, but my standard is that I just want to do better than I am working at a box plant.
Email me this question. boxtruckcouple@gmail.com
Don't forget spare fuses.
Hey 👋🏼 Walter
Any suggestions for GPS, eld, toll pass ?
Hello Andres, thanks for your questions. Just FYI, We provide these suggestions in the description of every video. There is an amazon storefront link, but I will provide them here for you.
GPS : Garmin dezl700 amzn.to/3pkXrvl
ELD : Motive ELD service : Edward Jones 213-568-6771(tell him the boxtruck couple sent you)
Toll Pass : This depends on the state , you can find out where you're going in advance and then research the type of pass you will need. We don't have a pass, they just bill us after we pass through
Christie make sure you have on the right shoes because I don’t want you to hurt your feet
How did you put the plate on the door?
The magnet? There’s a link to purchase then in my description of the video
How many blanks should we keep in our truck
You should have 8 days worth of blank logs in your truck at all times. I suggest just getting the book
what length straps do you use?
These are the ones I bought amzn.to/3nLbjNO
One last question please
If I want my wife to drive the truck with me , Do I have to add her on the FMCSA as a driver ?
Yes and she needs a DOT medical card
Do I need to file something called MC150 and IFTA to get my authority active for box truck ?
Thank you
You need to file MC 150 but IFTA is not applicable to you as a Boxtruck driver unless your vehicle weighs over 26,000 lbs. in that case you would need to be a CDL driver
IFTA-Qualified Vehicles
An IFTA-qualified vehicle is used, designated, or maintained for transporting people or products. A qualified vehicle:
Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds (11,797 kilograms);
Has three or more axles regardless of the weight; or
Is used in combination, when the weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight.
