    Demetrius Martin, CEO 250 Logistics
    After finishing trucking school Demetrius landed a position at a local sanitation company making only $500 a week. Soon realizing that would not provide enough financial stability for his family, he took a leap of Faith and invested 12k (borrowed & Saved Funds) into his self. In just 4 short years Demetrius turned 250 Logistics LLC from 1 owner-operator Semi-Truck grossing 8k a week to a Fleet of over 20 Units grossing over 100k weekly. 250 Logistics LLC is now a multi million dollar Family business out of Greenville, SC. Now Demetrius' focus is on expanding the 250 brand. Him and his team have created a platform to teach aspiring entrepreneurs how to start and grow their transportation business. 250 Academy is able to catapult your business to the next level with or without owning a truck.

    Love your videos but please got to work on fixing the volume setup with your mic's. I know it is not easy to get a setup that works but many do this same interview style and the random booming volume and then quiet makes it difficult to listen to without constantly touching the volume or putting subtitles on. Maybe a wearable mic on the shirt so moving around does not affect it? Just thought I should share. Keep up the great work and interviews!
