1️⃣4️⃣New Entrant Phone Call
You will get a letter in the mail from FMCSA for your audit call. Do this ASAP. It’s easy, they basically just go over your application to verify what you’ve entered.
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.

I do receive compensation from some of these affiliates for referring you to them. That being said, I have a great relationship with each of these companies and I have worked with some of their competitors in the past...so there's a reason why these are the companies I recommend...they are the best. If for any reason you have a bad experience with them, please let me know because I take that feedback seriously. My business is your business, so I want (need) you to succeed.

@@TruckInsurance question when im talking to insurance company for quotes what information do i need to give them
amazing guide, I'm almost active and ready to run loads! cant wait! Thank you!
Good luck!
@@TruckInsurance quick question for you if you wouldn't mind. atm, it's really hard to find a rental with a lift gate, so I'm considering getting a truck without one out of necessity. I've seen a few people talk about how they usually aren't required for the freight on DAT and etc. Do you think I can get by without one until I can get my hands on a truck with a lift gate?
How’s it going??
Great content and very professionally delivered each video. Sent an insurance quote form and budget rental form. In Texas so I will have to get a separate General Liability policy as progressive only writes Commercial Auto but not generally Liability for Texas. Looking forward to hearing back, thanks.
Sounds like you know a bit already. I'll get it together and be in touch here shortly. Thank you!
@@TruckInsurance sounds good, Thanks.
love the content need video on start up cost thanks.
It's kind of hard to say since the insurance can vary so much but I'll get one going here soon.
Thanks for all the info. I live very close to Charlotte and when I start this process I will get intouch and see if anything u can do to help. Thanks again
Best of luck!
Thank you for the information
You're welcome! Stay tuned for more content coming soon!
Thank you much bro 🙏🙏
You're welcome, glad to help!
Great 👍, there is so much out there on this. Some have been in business short time trying to sell info. Glad to see this, my husband and I are trying to do this in our late 50s but I am very excited about going over the road.
Keep the info coming.
God bless.
😇
Thank you so much! Best of luck!
Are you guys happy with the new life style “The Roads”?
Wishing you guys the best!!
Hey where can I find the link to the Quotes to show the rental companies?
Great informational video!
Thank you. I'll have more up soon!

This morning at 12 am I became active. You good sir have valuable info and really I do appreciate it. This was very easy and simple like he explained family. Follow his vid and you guys and ladies will be active just like I am. Thanks again!
Thats great to hear! Thank you for your support!
Peace Moor did you have issues with logging in to the FMCSA
@@7kael7 Islam brother and no sir
Amazing Video Brother. Super detailed and very well explained. I’ve watched a ton of box truck videos and channels and yours is BY FAR the best I’ve seen. Keep them coming. I just got my Incorporation, DOT and CA #. Next is my MCP, Insurance and a truck.
I’m going to running here in San Diego soon and will take any good advice you have or that I can watch in your videos. Thanks.
Thank you sir, glad to hear and I appreciate the feedback.
I'm in California who can I go through for cheap insurance?
Hello! If I may ask, how is it going for you? I live up in the high dessert and was thinking of doing this with my brother.
@@kitciaquintero3883 It’s a tough gig man. I started running routes for Amazon, but they weren’t paying shit, so I decided to go over the road. I made more money over the road but needed up coming back local to be with the family. If you drive Amazon every night and you are the driver you can make a living. I ended up hiring a driver and it wasn’t paying enough.
But once you get the all rolling with Amazon your able to get a box truck contract dedicated route that makes decent money or you can try to get two runs a night. High dessert will be better than San Diego because your close to San Bernardino and LA where a ton of runs come out of.
Dude youre awesome!
Thanks! You too!
great info keep it coming!
For sure will do. Stay tuned for more!
Thank you man
Thanks for the video
No problem!
U is amazing bro
Thank you...I'm trying!
You're awesome sir
Thank you!
Beneficial knowledge 🔥🔥

Hope it helps!

Good evening Charles. Hope you are doing well, excellent content brother, thank you for sharing. Do you offer your services in Florida?
I don't yet, I'm working on it though, hopefully here soon.
Hey I have a business subcontracting with an Amazon delivery partner and I’m looking into moving into box trucking. I found your channel among so many others and was so happy with the information I received, clear and direct and to the point. Trying to reach out to you by telephone but not seeing the link to do so
Thanks and good to hear! Here is the link to schedule a call: forhire.pro/call
@@TruckInsurance do I need insurance if the truck rental company offer commercial insurance
You are awesome.
Thank you!
YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION I WAS WONDER DO I NEED TO GET INSURANCE TO GET A RENTAL GREAT INFO
Glad you found it helpful!
I appreciate the knowledge. I wanna be my own boss. I'm tired of being fruit on some else's tree. My family came to this country with nothing and I don't plan on keeping it that way. Time to flip the narrative 🤞
Thank you bro
Thank you for checking out the video!
I❤️U, pause! I’m married to a natural female. ...but I’ve made this so stream line, in a theoretical sense. Started my journey last week with your “sarcastic” yet “intrigued” video of relay box trucking. I’m at the motor carrier stage. ...AND you’re in the Queen City!!!??? I’m like 4 hours away. I need a mentor. You may be him. Will keep in touch.
Thank you, much appreciated. Schedule a call, bit.ly/CScallapp or shoot me an email: daniel@charlesstring.com
Hello..first time seeing your videos. Thank you for putting out such useful info. Question..do you write policies for Maryland or Delaware?
I do for Maryland and i have a partner agency that can help with Delaware. Fill out my quote form here: forhire.pro/TruckQuote
Thank you for all the good info. I would like to hear you talk about ELD requirements and having to go through weigh stations. There seems to be a lot of bad info out there regarding those subjects.
I was going to ask the same thing! Excellent video otherwise! Thanks again
I'll get a video going for inspections and weigh stations. For ELD's. the rental trucks already have them, you setup an account through the rental company, there's an app on your phone, it connects to the truck's ELD via Bluetooth. You don't have to worry about getting ELD's until you get your own truck.
Awesome, thanks for the reply. I look forward to the next video.
What is your question on Weight stations. I go across nearly everyday in Maryland
You have to go through all weigh stations
Can you make a video on how to shop for truck? And Finding lease? Thanks for this great video 👍🏽
Thank you for the recommendation!
Excellent. Did you mention ELD?
The rental trucks have ELD's already. You will download an app that connects to the truck's ELD...super easy. You don't have to worry about ELD's until you get your own truck...that's when it'll be time to get Keep Truckin'...they are the best!
Thanks so much! Just applied for my authority and got the insurance quote approx. $12k. I am buying though and will be following and asking questions. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Congratulations!
Thanks boss
Hope this helps!
Hey men Thanks for your information it’s so helpful. Do you have service in Arizona?
No not yet but I have been getting a good bit of interest from there so I will be working on getting licensed and appointed in AZ here soon.
Thanks so much, really want to do this, can only do no touch freight, so I'm really concerned if I can do that and make it, but it's a last call for me.
You can do it!
This was great content. Can you tell us how to get started with a hired driver and driver compliance?
You will want to go through a third party company for your driver files. As far as hiring someone, that is up to how you want to file taxes.
i have that same rode podmic
Nice!
