I just got my CDL. I wish I can find a job fast can’t wait to start my driving career
Make sure you have an experienced co-driver who can give you good tips to avoid expensive mistakes.
Shoulda went with a company that has a school. You would have been put behind the wheel with a trainer prior to upgrading to comany.
I wish you all the success 🙏🏽I just turned 20 and wanna get into this business do you have any advice on getting loads and finding a dispatcher or any thing you wish you were told before you started?
I can’t give you advice, but I would get someone with a strong credit history to be a co-signer for my truck loan so I can get a low interest rate. I would open an LLC and convert it to an S Corp. I would separate business expenses from personal expenses. I wouldn’t buy a trailer right away, I would like to try hauling loads for a couple of months. If I like it and my business generates some income, then I would buy a trailer under the business to begin building business credit history. These are some steps I would follow. But I also would like to remind you that you can’t obtain a CDL and haul loads across the country before you turn 21 but you can haul loads with regular driver license but with limited weight.
@@ProDriverUSAyou can get a Cdl under 21 I have my Cdl at 20
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, will do!
Great work! Keep at it!
Thanks 🙏
Nice job !
Thanks
Non cdl ?? What load board you use ?
I have a CDL set up. We use DAT at the most and Central Dispatch
@@ProDriverUSA nice
Is it money in it at the moment? And for non cdl owner? The 30ft trailer?
I would be afraid to jump into this type of market without a CDL but idk what your expectations are and what are you looking to make.
@@ProDriverUSA if everything paid off 1k a week with an 30 ft trailer if not 40 ft trailer?
@@NaeBenGi dont do it without a cdl its hard enough with one
@@zasueta6352 ok
thank for videos uploading can u have email ad
My pleasure. New videos have my contact info.
If your winches were on the right side of the trailer, your tool box would be accessible.
True, maybe one day I will replace them on another side
I got my winches and straps on right side. Never wanna have to tighten something down on the side of traffic and my storage boxes all on the left side. I can put my straps into the rub rails where my boxes are so it works out great bc the boxes offset the winches! Also when your new it's gonna be a grind. Stick with it and before you know it you'll be getting all the loads
Looks like the mechanics where I work installed that tool box lol
Would have definitely turned that dumpster around so it wasn’t acting like a big parachute
They didn't want to load me the way you saying, I don't remember the reason but there was something
Any advice to get a good dispatcher or how to find loads? I got everything settle to start on the business but i need somebody to guide me on the loads

I’m trying to get into this business.
Go for it, you can do it
You should strap/secure your cargo BEFORE tarping. Use HD rubber bungees to secure the tarp.
Is it a law?
@@ProDriverUSA I don't know that it is a law-You may want to check with DOT to be sure.
@@ProDriverUSAstraps can rub holes in the tarps
@@Jake-tu9hpthat’s correct
