My name is Brandon. I am a sprinter van / cargo van expeditor. I drive a 2020 Mercedes Benz sprinter van 2500 170 extended with a high roof for a small mom and pop logistics company. I bring my dog Bubba Jo with me and we hit the road for 4+ weeks at a time. Everyday my dispatcher goes on load boards and bids on jobs. I’m always hauling something different for a random company to a random location that can be right down the road or clear across the United States of America! I average 3-5k miles a week and don’t need a CDL license to drive.
On this episode we are hauling shelving and fixtures for a Puma outlet store. Starting our road trip in Richmond Virginia and driving 2527 miles west to Cabazon California. Along the way we see a crazy car accident but luckily the GPS helped us avoid traffic. We also stopped at a ancient cave with Navajo art on the walls and saw some incredible breath taking views. Watch til the end of the video where I break down how much the van made and how much I made after expenses and splitting the load with the owner of the van.

This has to be a joke
Yep one big joke! I’m out here wasting my time. I’m broke, my business is going down the drain. Why did I waste my time driving for this company? I didn’t learn anything or level up in any way shape or form. What an idiot! What was I thinking? This is the biggest joke of 2023
@@ExpeditingAmerica smh, sounds like your butt hurt bro 🤷🏾♂️ but i understand.
@@buckzatm739 I was being sarcastic as in joking. If I was butt hurt maybe id get defensive and call you names or something. I’m prob the chillest person you will meet. I appreciate you watching and your comment all jokes aside.
I’m actually doing really well and now and owner operator making and saving more money than I ever have in my life. With repairs and unexpected mishaps.
I was getting my feet wet driving for a fleet owner that I learned a lot from and now I call my own shots, write off most of not all my income in my taxes, and my RUclips channel is growing 20-50 subscribers a day so that’s making me money and I wouldn’t have this if I didn’t drive and pay my dues. On top of the Merch and other side business that branched off RUclips. I can’t complain.
So to answer your question. No it’s not a joke and I got nothing but love for you buddy. Far from but hurt. One love!
@@ExpeditingAmerica I got nothing but love for you as well, my brother. I’m proud of you and happy for you. Keep going hard.
@@buckzatm739 thank you
Great video really enjoyed the scenery and the Buc-ee's part had me dying bro keep it up
Lol I was wondering if anyone would catch that part! Glad you did! Thanks for watching!!!
Love your videos and all the information you share brother. Thank you. Keep safe!
No doubt! It would all be for nothing if you and everyone else didn’t watch. Thanks for your time and support
Agreed! Great vids
@@danjohn6981 thanks y’all
Just came across your channel today and I love your content- from the music you chose in your video to your pup and your sense of humor. Glad you made it safe and looking forward to more! Take care✌
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and chime in! New episodes on the way! :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I’ve seen all your videos and enjoyed them all. I know you aren’t glamorizing it, but you make me want to go out and get me a van!!! Be careful out there.
I’m glad you said I’m not glamorizing it because I show the cookie cutter clean edited Side. It’s def not all rainbows and sunshine but I make the most of it. Thank you for watching!!!!
Another great vid. You're real chill putting in a k a day. Props my man
Thanks fam appreciate you watching’
This was your best video that’s why so many views
Thank you bro for your content I’m really enjoying watching it
Thank you for watching man I’m glad you enjoy the content! If there is anything you ever wanna know feel free to drop a question in the comments any time. I’m always looking for new things to make content on
What's cool about your channel is the scenery you shoot along the way. I recognized a few spots along the 40 cause I've road tripped a few times from Ocean City and Annapolis Maryland to Santa Monica with a couple of college buddies that are Merry Marylanders!!! I always liked stopping in OKC. I have a buddy from Perry, Oklahoma. A sheriff friend of his dad was the one who caught Timothy McVeigh ---- The Oklahoma City bomber!!!
Damn that’s crazy! Yeah it’s a nice drive and thank you I’m glad you appreciate the extra effort I give my shots!
I noticed you have another van
Great job on the video, and love the music selection.
Hell yeah man thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and drop a comment

I here waiting for this vid ✌
Sure it's gonna be awesome

Thanks brother! Hope it is worth the wait
When strapping a barrel either use an old pallet or the spare tire throw tire or pallet over the barrels cross strap them in an x I learned this from the Paxton's my fist year OTR
Thanks man love the advice
I’m from Palm Springs. I’m looking to start a Sprinter van/cargo business. Your videos are inspiring. Keep up the good work fam. Stay blessed
Thank you fam! Appreciate the support. Have you watched the newer episodes?
@@ExpeditingAmerica I haven’t yet. But most definitely I will. I know everyone has popsicles they deal with, but what’s something to look out for in this business? I have a lot of questions lol
Thinking of jumping in but learning from your videos at the time keep up the good work
I would wait… market sucks. I stay moving because I have a good relationship with my carrier. Most people don’t move like this when they start out. Best of luck and thanks for watching
Don’t do it!
Excellent driving. Great planning.
You're on fire! 🔥 Way to go! 👍🏼
Thanks brother
Buddy is Seattle wa hard to get out of ? If you been there
@@CasitaViews sorry it took so long to reply. I’ve only been there twice and I got out quick but every day is different. It’s hard to stay local so if you do otr just stay away from there til you want to go home
Great video, I just arrived to San Francisco this morning Iam getting a load tomorrow so I gotta stay the night out here.
Awesome I’ve never been to San Fran. Almost got a load there yesterday from nc
Enjoy it
What kind of van do you have and which app do you use!
Watched all your videos, got my interest peaked. 1000 miles a day damn.
1000 is the goal! And you watched all my videos? Damn that’s dope! Thank you so much!
Great video 👍👍
Thank you for watching and supporting! One love
Agreed
Man you have some great content! ❤
Thank you Dan
Me and my 5 dogs Bruin, Mahaley, Daisy, Cleveland and Hook enjoy your videos.
Bubba jo is a happy camper cuz of that!
Another cool video nice job decent money I love the freedom that you don’t have to deal with DOT your carrier wouldn’t happen to be higher right now what day I’m ready
Unfortunately we are a small carrier and just have 2 vans. In the future we will sign on more own operators but probably not drivers
Thanks for the content. Such a cool dog! 🐕 😎
He’s the best! And thanks for watching! More to come in 2023
@@ExpeditingAmerica For sure! Look forward to it.
Awesome, I'm down in Naples,FL I'm opening my expedite company doing my setup now . Looking forward to your video

I was rolling on the floor laughing
I can't believe how people go buy all that old bucket stuff it's ridiculous I'm glad you and Bubbles you got your act together and didn't fall for that haha great video man keep it up
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment! Happy new year!
Old bucket stuff? Bubbles? Didn’t fall for what? Lol
I really appreciate the video… I watched it to the end…
Hey John thank you man! I appreciate you watching an older episode and dropping a comment man. Enjoy your weekend
So here is some advice that would behoove you. You need to stop every so often and stretch. I know, it sounds corny and wimpy and inefficient. I tell you this as an M.S. in Exercise Science, every time you fill the gas tank, take that dog for a long walk and thoroughly stretch your legs, hips, torso and neck. You will be glad you did. Drive safe now.
I agree. I stretch all day long. Bubba jo forces me to get fresh air and stretch. Plus I go to the gym at least 3 days a week so I’m good on that end. Appreciate the tip and agree!
Good advice. I can’t imagine sitting like that all day long
Wow New Mexico and Arizona the way it’s amazing
Yes I love that drive but hate the rates out west
So beautiful
Great vids
Thank you Fritz!
Bless up my I love your video and the dog is a great choice for the road what type of engine desil are gas
He is the best choice for sure! Thanks for watching and happy new year!
I work as a restaurant server. But I like the fact you're your own boss. You work hard. I hope everything will work out for you and you'll make even more money!
I feel like this load might be a little undercut, but I'm not in a business, and money is money, right?
No you’re totally right. I wasn’t my own boss in this video. I was driving for a fleet owner. Ran myself into the ground doing it. God willing it worked out so far. My newer episodes are of me in my van. Thank you so much for watching!
Bubba's a great co pilot
The best for sure!
Great content
Thank you Brian. I dropped a live tonight and have an episode dropping tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5pm est. thanks for watching
That’s a lot of hard work 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽…. But you pushed through ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching sorry I’m just now responding
@@ExpeditingAmerica it’s more than ok 👍🏽
Keep grinding 💯
Always! And thanks for watching
Good job..!
Thank you! Cheers!
You should install e-tracks on the floor. It would let you secure the loads better
Yessir you’re right an old video. I’m bout to go e track crazy with some updates on my van
I drove El Paso to LA to San Diego once and did that in 17 hours. Had 2 drop offs and one pickup plus gas stops in a F250 and Small Uhaul trailer. That was brutal. Mainly cuz my right hamstring area gets achy from all the driving. So you doing it 3 days in a row 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shit I do 3-5k miles every week! This is what I do brother! Just like you whoop ass! Lol
@@ExpeditingAmerica Man this video was already funny and transparent but this comment just made me follow. Love a good sense of humor.
Nice video , it brought me a lot good of memories , I used to take that route often , when I delivered in my box truck
May the good Lord keep you guys , and bless you and prosper you as well
Yo. I love that Texas beaver n brisket!!!

This I think is the funniest clip from any episode for sure. Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed
Lmfao loved it
Keep up the hard work man! I hope you become own op soon these number are nuts!
Soon! I can’t wait! Thank you for watching!
I don't know, considering the owner is paying for the Sprinter, insurance, repairs, maintenance and any other expenses other than gas and tolls.
@@ric5835 you don’t know what?
@@ric5835 he’s doing all that and still making money :)
@@ExpeditingAmerica hello brother. I'm from Okeechobee, Florida . I'm looking to buy a sprinter van and would love to get some insights and tips b4 I purchase. I know ur busy but I would be grateful for any help . Thanks
Great content i got an interview today.
Ayeeee that’s what’s up! Congrats I pray it goes well for you and much success
@ExpeditingAmerica Thanks my guy , you as well take care.
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
That’s a good dog
He is the best! Thanks man
Hits the boss
Great content! And to the future drivers please DO NOT TAKE UNDERPAID LOADS!! IF YOU DO DISPATCHERS/BROKERS ARE ROBBING YOU!.#nocheapfreight
Cheap freight is relative to someone’s operating costs. I know a guy who owns his van pays 700 in insurance a month and has no other major bills back home. He can make good money off .80-.90.
Also sometimes people have a partial load and have extra room for another load. They can take that 2nd load for cheap cuz it’s a bonus for them.
The best thing to do is not worry about what rate others are taking freight for. Just focus on you because that’s what matters. If people wanna take cheap freight let ‘em. They either know what they are doing or don’t and won’t last long.
@@ExpeditingAmerica which insurance company do you use!
@@ExpeditingAmericalike
Nice traveling with you. Well done. Wish I had a furry companion. I think my trips would be more enjoyable.
My personal preference in expediting is cash paid for trucks. There's nothing better. Sure, there's A LOT to be said for a high end rig specifically designed for the industry. But if it isn't paid for, it changes the entire dynamic of the profession.
There's nothing better in life than pocketing 100% of the rate. Then when it breaks, you've got it. No sweat. Fix it, and make it up the next week.
Older paid off rigs get a bad rap for being costly and breaking down too much, Lol. My $2000, 2005 3/4 ton Express rolled almost flawlessly, nonstop, while I witnessed late models breaking all the friggin time! HUGE repair bills. A very late model Mercedes Sprinter with a $4000 repair!
You work way too hard, at the 8th (1-100) most dangerous job in the world. (Cops are 20-ish in danger) Keep ALL your money. Don't become a slave to this industry. The money you're giving up is the "hazard pay" portion of the rate! And whomever ISN'T paying for their fuel portion in this industry, is getting over on us. Big time.
Godspeed!
Thank you for such an amazing insightful comment. Sorry it took so long to read and respond but wow! I wish I could by my first van outright.
Sedona, Arizona....rent a Jeep and explore...absolutely beautiful!
Definitely would love to off road out there one day.
Maybe it will be in a video :)

20 years ago I took carpet from ATL area to Oxnard, Ca. 48 hrs including 9 hrs sleep in Amarillo. Got there Monday morning at 6am.
I says wow, I don’t need this until Thursday… oh well
At least you are ahead of schedule and got to get something else that week hopefully. Thanks for watching. New episode drops tomorrow (Monday) at 5:00pm est
I'm new to your channel but I'm on the same moves ...get that money 💰
Hell yeah thanks for watching!!! You expedite too?
@@ExpeditingAmerica no ..I got lucky in stumble across 2 good dedicated contracts that keeps me local ..dc, md, VA Delaware and PA..
I just bought a box truck also ..
keep it up g
All the cool scenery you see and the best part is you get paid to do it
It def has its pluses and minuses but the scenery is definitely humbling
@@ExpeditingAmerica what are the minuses?
@@bestofthebest3812 sitting waiting on the road alone bathrooms are dirty sleep is minimal pay isn’t consistent it’s really different for everyone
Can’t wait! But I have to! Ha!
Yeah sorry I find the videos get more reach when I premier them like this
@@ExpeditingAmerica it was well worth it. Just finally had some time to watch today. You do great work with the editing
@@garyswincy2955 I try my best man! Thank you
Strapping down is key
That made my day when you told him how long it would take you to get to Cali!! He said, "Whaaaaaaaaat!!!" (in disbelief) haha. You are the man! You say 1000 miles a day. What's your speed limit you travel? 60-62mph . I don't know if I could drive that damn long. Lawd have mercy!
I do 65-70 but out west some places are 75-80 and I’ll do that. Tan 1000 miles is my goal every day but my average is about 700 a day. If I need to do 1000 I can get r dun tho
@@ExpeditingAmerica OH ok I feel that. I think starting out I'd like to do no more than 700 miles a day. I'd have to get use to driving that long. My ass would be hurting and numb. Was it something you had to get use to first?
@@beezytalkingshit9319 I think my first trip was 1200 miles lol the gym and stretching is crucial. Walking with bubba helps too. Hope all is well man. You peep the new episode?
@@ExpeditingAmerica NOT yet bro but I will when I get home today. I been very busy. I was on call last week. And this week im in the process of getting a new car and everything. Im goin to catch up on the videos though. Glad you're doing well bro.
@@beezytalkingshit9319 life can get pretty busy sometimes. Hope it all goes smooth for you bro
I subscribed.
Thank you
Nice video... How do you strap the freight down with no e tracks?
I’ve got hook rings on the side on the floor to clip them too
Hey Bro, good video. How and where do you get oil changes? I think I saw some oil cans in your van.
Yeah I usually do oil service at wal mart or 5 minute lube. We buy oil and filters ahead of time
@@ExpeditingAmerica where do you buy your oil and filters
@ 2:45 I'm late to your channel and I don't think anyone has ever told you this. But strapping something heavy that can slide by slamming on the brakes. Well it's a good chance the load can crush you. I'm just saying and be careful out here ✌🏾
I think that’s why I told the story I told. Because it was a learning experience and I strap down properly now
Nice video bro, what's the engine capacity of that mercedes van the model and the year what about Fuel consumption how many miles do you service
Thanks for watching. The engine is a 4cy twin turbo ifs a 2500 170” with high roof. Normal service. Oil change every 8-10k gets about 20 mpg
When I drove truck otr my favorite place to stop is any TA truck stop cause of the all you can eat buffet
You can tell TA use to be the place to be for truckers back in the day. They are kinda run down for the most part now. Every now and then I find a nice clean new one
@ExpeditingAmerica this was back in 2014/15 so it has been awhile since I been to one. Gave up my cdl after I saw a crotch rocket racing hit a guardrail blowing up on impact and sending the rider head first into a tree. But, I've been looking to get into a sprinter van otr job with no luck everything around me wants you to own your own van and right now don't have the money for a decent used one that fits their requirements
Excellent 👍 good luck
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video
Nice Awesome video this all new to me how does payment work is it per job
It’s per job but they don’t pay out right away. Usually once a week.
Love's Travel Stop is my favorite, when I travel with my kids. It would take me at least 4 days to drive 2500 miles, not good for expediting business...
It’s a okay place sometimes and sometimes it’s great! Thanks for watching Andy. Dropped a new episode today. Stay blessed!
I bought a cargo van in 1998 and leased on with Panther...Pay was 1.10 per loaded mile..Gas at the time was 1.50 range....I criss crossed the country many times and lived right out of my van...I made a small fortune and after 5 years on the road met a gal and got married...There went that but man it was great if you like driving..No regrets a tall..
You were in the prime of trucking my man. Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching!
So your sprinter van is gas? I thought Mercedes Sprinter's only have diesel!! That's nice man!
Diesel my man!
@@ExpeditingAmerica which one is better when it comes to purchase van that uses diesel or gas?
👍 great
Thanks Dallas
I would look at getting a 3 thousand pound cargo net ..some E track an a blocker in frount of your fright
Agreed. This wasn’t my van. I was driving for a fleet owner at the time. Peep the new episodes :)
Understand...am driving a stright truck now an my wife an I are looking into getting a van an doing are own
Just asking...what load bord are u useing
Bro I’m 100 percent ready to start. I just need to know how to get started. I have the money for my own sprinter and everything. What’s my first step?
I would drive for a company first before investing $60k or more into a business.
Nice content and views even tho I thought the pay should’ve been more sometimes road trips can open up you’re mind to even bigger endeavors.
I was a driver for a fleet owner so I was paying my dues to get to where I am now. This episode is mad old. Checkout my new ones. Got one dropping today at 5pm est
I know that rock from anywhere, stop by the truck stop the next exit up
This was long ago my friend
That's real nice bro. What company you work for?
A small mom and pop operation called MKD speed
Nice Job. How do you get loads? Name company
I drive for a small mom and pop fleet owner. Just two vans. We have 3 vans signed on but that’s as much as we can take right now with one dispatcher
Would a 06 Chevy express work? Or it has to be no older than 10 year to run freight?
I like the hustle champ I used to drive 18 wheelers but I quit doing that and I'm thinking of getting a finger ran and do what you do same thing as a 18 wheeler but in a smaller better version what rules and regulations do you got to stop at any scales... Can you just run or do you got to log anything
No scales no log book we are under 10k gvw
You have any loads for me I'm out in Cali I am in the process of purchasing a spring event what do you recommend Dodge or Ford like your hustle champ
@@champion4566 I don’t book loads for others sorry
@@champion4566 I drive Mercedes so I’m impartial
I used to to work for that company silver lion Sebastian is a great person
Ayeeeeee small world! That’s awesome and yes Sebastian was a cool cat! Thank you for watching. Crazy we are connected somehow!
New episode drops tomorrow!
Men,am eager to know whether this type of job pays well,I do love driving and keep it up men
Pays well but you gotta hustle
Pilot an flying J luv the best... ? How much was payment on this load bro
I put all payment and expense info at the end of every video :)
@@ExpeditingAmerica yup I saw! Good stuff
Do you use a factoring company? Any recommendations please?
Nope sorry none. I’m just a driver. No idea
Hello. What do You think is better, diesel or gasoline? Keep otra!!
Better? For what? They both do the same job. Ones cheaper to maintain, and one lasts longer. Not much more to say
You don't need a High Roof van because they could've broken that down more... it's just shelves
I don’t need a highroof for this load yes you’re correct. But to say a high roof isn’t an advantage is false
Pretty rough split with van owner, depreciation and maintenance is probably $0.15 per mile
That’s why having a good accountant is important. As well as getting the most life out of your van. These diesels are said to go 1,000,000 miles. If you average $1 a mile and do 150k miles or more a year ( bustin ass) that’s not a bad living. But yes fleet owners make their money off multiple vans running. Unless they are owner operator. That’s the key
Your load board recommendations please?
We use sylectus
Lol nice shirt
Lmfao thanks for noticing 🤣😂
Are you leased on or do you book your own loads? Love the vids BTW 🔥
The last minute of video answered my question.
@@TheSpnc1 yessir I’m just a driver for now. Moving on up to owner op soon
Thanks for watching!!!!!!
@@ExpeditingAmerica which company do you drive for!
I’m trying to get my channel going what app do you use for your editing .??
I use an app in the Apple App Store called inshot
Is it for android?
Naw it’s all app stores
Are you required to go throught weigh stations/DOT scales?
No I’m not. Under 10k lbs
Do you have your own authority!? If so how do you fave ur Dot on FmCSA I live in Utah and it been hard since I been having problems with the FMCSA since I can’t put that I have a sprinter since I don’t carry more then 10k pounds and I
In this episode I was just a driver. I transitioned to owner operator and had my own authority but enjoy the lifestyle I had with a carrier so that’s what I do know just run under my carrier. New episode drops tonight
If we are doing local do you think a low van is good enough to make money ?
A) local is tough and usually for vets who have created connections with direct shippers and have multiple vans to get a contract. Not saying it can’t be done just usually tough or everyone would be doing local
B) any van will work but you will limit yourself to what you can carry.
Is your van diesel or gas? How many gal tank. How many miles per fill up?
This van is diesel about 22 gallons bout 450 miles
I’m a truck driver so I’m curious when you do 1000 miles in 16 hrs do you take any rest breaks at all
I take breaks for bubba Joe and if I get tired I take a break but usually can do 16 hours no nap. I nap/sleep before and after usually
I have a 2006 e250 cargo Van. What percent of profit To consider the time you put in? Also what load bored are you using ? If you don't mind and are you using quick pay or?
Expediting otr will be hard for you A) age of vehicle most carriers won’t work with b) size of van too small. You can use gig apps like uship shiply etc but as far as otr expediting it’s will be hard to do.
So you travel over the road all across the country .how many pallets does your van takes and is the height high enough for tall pallets and is the van wide enough for wide pallets ?
Hey will! Yessir all over. I can fit pallets up to 70” high and 53” wide at most I can do 3 48x48 pallets. Thanks for watching
@@ExpeditingAmerica that’s great ! Here’s the deal I took an early retirement from my job of 24 years and I receive a pension . I’ve been contemplating getting into this business for some time now . I thought box truck but the cost including start up cost and all the regulations made that not appealing . Than I saw sprinter vans . My question is I should I start off expediting or should I just jump right in on my own as you are now and get on load boards and get rolling . I will rent a sprinter van first just to see if I like this . What would you recommend?
@@smoothwill expediting is minimal sleep. But I like it better than box truck. Hard to say. I’ve only done expediting in vans
That’s awesome, do you work for yourself?
I do yes sir Vance. Thanks for watching. New episode drops today at 5pm
Do a person make more money expediting for a company or going off the load board and working that way and do you need an authority like a box truck ?
You always make more with your own authority. IT’s preference really. I go through a carrier because after I drop off I don’t wanna bid and deal with brokers. I’d rather hang with my dog and do on hikes, go to the gym or work on RUclips videos
@@ExpeditingAmerica ok and thanks for responding expeditiously. So I’m thinking about renting a cargo van to see if I would like it before purchasing and than possibly not liking it . Would you recommend that ?
Do you have a maintenance program with anyone?
Do cargo vans drivers have to have an ELD in van?
Nope
Good question thanks for watching
@ExpeditingAmerica so your not subject to the hours of service
