    Simple solution is to move to where the money is... find a place to park the truck that's secure. Check the load boards or Amazon boards and move your ass there. The Amazon main hubs will have 7 to 10 warehouses within a city. Snatch up the short routes quick when they drop too.

    Thank You for this video. Unfortunately I was one of those ones that was watching these content creator and listening to other people as to how profitable this business is. Me and my partner was in the box trucking business for 1 year before we bowed out and sold the truck. We even passed our first audit.. But like you said, all the money you have to put back into the business leaves little profit. We both left our respected jobs to chase a dream that we wasn't well educated on. After all the frustrations and arguments, we decided to sell the truck and go back to the work force. We are now back to making our own money, not worrying about a truck breaking down or not finding adequate loads. I wish I can say it was a good experience but all it did was put me in more debt.

    Thank you for breaking it down. I'm a numbers guy, so I follow what you are saying expenses but the profit is scary. I get disability from the va so i could make a little to recoup starting costs. But now I'm wondering how i could even do that. I appreciate you and your honesty.

    I have my CDL-A all endorsements/no restrictions. If I buy a 48’ dry van with a lift gate, securement traps, heavy blankets, and electric pallet jack. How much could I make? (With my own authority, insurance 15k/12mo) I’m debt free and can cash out all equipment including electric pallet jack.

    I’m driving a box truck as I’m watching this..I am doing Amazon relay and still gross after gas and renting a truck, I bring home profit between 4k to 4500 a week. For people who have a 9-5 making less than 20 an hour I suggest that this is way better..I run 6 days a week but I choose my loafs,and when I wanna be off..

    Correct me if I’m wrong, so on a low end profit margin of 6% meaning that my earned revenue is $6 out of a $100? That is wild.

  • @cmetarheel
    @cmetarheel Месяц назад +1

    Just want to see if I'm understanding this correctly .... So the gross profit on average is $140,000 ... a REALLY GOOD net profit margin is 20% which is $28,000 per year ... to make the $140K you'll have to "run hard" which means all 52 weeks out of the year, which breaks your really good net profit per week down to $538.46 a week .... if you compare that to a regular 9-5, isn't that only $13.46 per hour ... PRE-TAX?
