People. This business is a HUSTLE. You have to build relationships like in any other business and you will thrive. Everyone so quick to ask for his resources when you can just build your own. Let this man work and feed his family.
@valdez--ur 100💯💯right--People think that there's a secret sauce and never try...for any biz there's a learning curve and if you're i NOT hands on you'll not make--
What is requirements,do I need to be owner operator
People are ridiculous, the fact you need to say this common effen sense sh*t proves that. 🤦🏽♂️ I did 200k and 300k in sales in my biz and I NEVER asked any dumb ass questions to make it happen.. WTF is wrong with ppl?🤷🏽♂️
@@I_Am_NAKOA I think you need to calm yourself. Let people ask whatever they want, it’s no your business. If someone answers, they answer. If they don’t, they don’t.
@@I_Am_NAKOA what's wrong with people it's the fact that their cheep and greedy, they are narcissists who like to brag how much they make and don't want to share or see someone else successful.
They are also ironically asking the OP some detail about their business in another commentary while belittling other people that do the same :))) you ain't shit
Awesome to see you have a supportive partner since she travels with. So rare nowadays.
First time watching. Pretty good content.
I said wow
Great video, informative. I’m looking into take this route. Keep up the good!!
I like weekend drop[offs.. gives me time to take care of personal chores like laundry, and getting van washred, light maintence. Even sitting one can be productive.
Very nice experience. I've run the wheels off my two cargo vans in a year. (266k and 524k diesel) Temporarily out of service. Your video brings back awesome rewarding memories(and envy,lol), the mixture of seriously hard work and beautiful freedoms of travel and scenery. Lonely? Never! When I'm not rolling, I'm sleeping. Back to back loads. Never said no. Insane income. Easy 6-digits. But everything breaks eventually. Always take time and investment for a periodic thorough mechanical inspection. All my major breaks were something extremely simple...external components failure causing a major internal failure. Never fault of internal attrition. If a tech wants $125 for a full comprehensive mechanical inspection or preventive maintenance, pay it!
It's cheap insurance. Godspeed!
Did you not make enough money to save for these problems?
@@johnoggle4580 Definitely. Comforting to see your checking drop $2500 for a repair, to know in 7 days it will be back or more. Several four digit repairs made out of pocket/cash. My personal goal was 3 trucks. Personal decision, not necessarily advised, but I invested in a third transport vehicle with a different carrier and new area of the country. Hopefully a niche specialty freight. I plan is to run vehicle #3, generate income to repair #1,#2. Then put drivers in them. Very doable, but success always comes with risks. Also, in a short time learning, it appears that smaller is better. Less fuel, maintenance, less time loading/unloading(fast!), maneuverability and parking issues etc. It's comforting knowing that traveling next to a larger transport vehicle, or big rig etc, that my bottom line final net net net will be the same or likely more, and I'll stay in my vehicle drive anywhere, and park and sight see just like any car.
@@williamrobinson6680 That’s awesome man! Thank you for sharing 😄 are you currently dispatching drivers or doing something else?
@@DaniilVataman Driving some. Currently with another carrier with good access to smaller ltl freight. Trying to get positioned in the best area for daily activity. Invested in a smaller vehicle, which surprisingly is capable of transporting approximately 30-40% of the smaller dimensions I hauled in my 1-ton extended diesel van. Like Fitchburg Massachusetts to Dallas Texas; 76-pounds. Gotta love it!
@@williamrobinson6680 I'm gonna look into this job
Truckers will do well in this and I am one ✅💪🏾 this is beautiful I can put others in my semi trucks. Thanks for the insight it’s a blessing sharing info.
How does one actually get started in this business? I mean I have the van, I have the work ethic, I just don't know where , or HOW to start something like this. Help bro out and any tips would be appreciated?

Great video well spoken and to the point with good useable information
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback, more content on the way!
Great video! Hopefully you post more often bro! 👏🏼
Thank you! Will try 👍🏼
I really enjoyed your videos. Stay posting and keep up the good work.
Great editing some of the best in class
Great video, thank you. Any practical advice and info about dispatching companies would be nice. Thank you
I wish I still had enough strength and energy in me to do expedited. I thought about it when doing OTR with a semi as I started my journey with transportation doing expedited for a company but I settled for my own semi and doing short trips within 300 miles radius around Chicago and being home every day. OTR pretty much exhausted me to the point where I can't even look at trucks/vans and drive anywhere further than 15 minutes in my car without feeling exhaustion. But hey, maybe life will push me back to doing that, you never know.
Lifestyle and habits are life or death. Even moderate gardening can save a life.
A 90 year old grew 5 bypasses to his own heart doing that. Tai Chi burns in one hour what take a day for sitting around to do... 500 food calories.
I understand completely. I’ve run hotshots for 10+ years. When I first started otr I absolutely loved it. Back then I could stop at any location I wanted to see. We ran paper logs then. People don’t realize how hard it is tarping, chaining and strapping a load. I would stay on the roads for 3 months before I came home. This lifestyle is hard on the body. I ran so hard until this lifestyle caught up with me. I was literally exhausted all the time. I changed to running through the week and home on the weekends. I finally walked away from hauling a week ago. I’ll absolutely miss hauling. I’ve always been interested in the cargo vans but never got to try it. I hope you can start driving again.

How much did you walk with?
Fantastic videos man. Awesome. Thanks fir sharing these gems!
Great video
Thank you for posting this video. I learned lots of tips
I have been looking at many channels trying to get good information on having a Sprinter Van business and yours seems to be the most informative. I know there are dispatch companies you can sign up with but the avg per miles seems to be between .85-1.25 per mile. How do you find your loads? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Thank you for this brother. I had no idea this existed. Thank you so much again. I would really love to learn more and do this❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
It is life changing stuff for sure. I have been in the business now for 14 years and I haven't regretted it!!!
that an excellent video. love and miss that job, keep the wheels spinning brother.
Great video A lot of useful tips
Amazing information! Where do you get your loads ?
Awesome content! Very informative! LOVED IT!❤❤❤
You are both a beautiful couple with such drive and determination. It's truly admirable. I just have THREE QUESTIONS?
When do you sleep?
Where do you sleep?
Where is your home starting point for driving?
Really good video my man,much appreciated...
Thanks for watching and comment! More content soon 😄
you might try electric bikes, and hook your van up with some solar and battery bank to charge them might try to have a back door rack and an inside rack that allows them to be suspended horizontally above the pallets. When you either have pallets in the back of your van or not just saying. Pretty cool van too!
That's a great idea!! Thank you
@@DaniilVataman a
Nice video and well explained! How do you get your loads? Do you use an app or what kind of connection to get your loads? Thanks for the nice video!
Sign up with apps etc....like Shiply etc...
Good question
Great video! Really informative. Why did you stop? Any chance you can do a breakdown in the future?
Looking forward to watching your journey. awesome.
Could you add a little more info on another video about the legalities? Biz license, insurance, ect..? Awesome and informative bud, keep up the good work!
Any info on this
what app or program do you use too find these loads?
Great editing skills !!! Wow
You are so inspirational! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 😄
What services do you use to book your loads?
Just a few years ago, I wouldn't believe those numbers, but from what I've seen and learned the past year or so, I believe it. I hope I'm able to find a way to get a cargo van someday, but until then, it's Walmart delivery in the car.
Also, how much did you end up paying for gas/food in total? I'm very curious about stuff like that.
I’ve got a Sprinter Van I’m selling if you’re interested. 2011 Mercedes Sprinter 170WB high rooftop. Only asking 13,500. It has 347k miles
@@claudiarodriguez4840 That's a great deal, but just a a bit to far outside of my budget. My dad and I are trying to work out something though. Thanks for the offer :)
@@claudiarodriguez4840 can you share some photos ? Fb market ??
You sound so wholesome. Sending you luck on your sprinter van journey! My fiancé just started his cargo business and so far he’s making good $$. Reminder to everyone theirs expenses but at the end of the day you’re your own boss and your future is in your hands and not someone else’s. Good luck and I hope you find your sprinter and make lots of $$$$ ❤️
Looking forward to more videos bro!
Great Video!!. Where do you get the loads? From dispatcher or load board?
Where do you find loads when you dispatch yourself? Been working with dispatchers for a year and feel like they’re taking too much sometimes
How much you pull in a week with dispatchers?
They are! I stopped expediting about a month ago because of that. I don’t know who is willing to pay the rates he posted on this video. Cause I only got between.60(California)- .90cents this was for long hauls. Local is the only time I would see 1.25-1.35
I'm based in LA. I'd like to do the expediting but do it locally and not out of CA. Do you recommend it? Can I make good money? Do I need my authority or just work on some apps as GoShare would work?
Yeah it’s possible, often when I’m in CA I usually run to north CA and then south, although north is harder to find available freight, LA is good. I’ve never done work for GoShare or seen what they offer, but I see a lot of people say it’s great. Good luck!
I drive semi's.. got an electric unicycle.. love it. Never been jacked
Thumbnail & editing game on point .
Can you share what load board(s) you use to find these great loads?
Roc900 I don’t think they would share those 🤔
Great Content. Very useful and insightful on the industry especially with this niche, expediting. Do you work with different carriers? Also do you have your own DOT and authority or do you work under a carriers. Can you share the benefits of having one or not? Im about to start the business and understand under 10k GWVR you do not need to. The insurance is cheaper with this option, but I can only work with carriers that provide DOT and insurance?
I Also, want to Know if DOT# & MC#(AUTH) are Required to Run a Cargo Van " InterState " ??? Thx.
@@marka.haginsanddynamicacad9535 I found out that you can run under a carrier and dispatcher that offers insurance to sign you own as a owner operator. You essentially work as an independent contractor and will make less money this way but it also comes with less headaches and overhead before your learn the ropes. This could lead to you doing more research and making the commitment to actually go "ALL IN" in this industry afterwards or even change your mind if this isn't for you.
Great video, plan on starting in 2024!, do you also use DAT to find loads for your van?
love the video, thank you for the info, quick question, would it be best to cold call warehouses or get on a loadboard and with trial/error find the right board that fits the area in canada where i live? As i'm about to contact brokers but before I create more outcome than income i'd like to ask a question to someone who seems kneledgeable or anyone who has experience. Thank you and this is a legit question, no trolls please
Nice videos. Question: do you dispatch yourselves or use a dispatcher? And do you trust your dispatcher to get you in and out?
I try to dispatch myself first because more $ that way but if I’m in a area where I can’t loads available I’ll reach out anytime to the dispatchers 😄
And thanks for watching!
How do I get a dispatcher and also do I need my own authority?
@@DaniilVataman how do you find dispatchers to work with ?
There are plenty of dispatchers but the pay is wayyyy less. Jaw is dropping in this video at the rates he pulled on loads
What companies do you suggest running under? I'm thinking of going the expediting route from a box truck I currently use for Amazon delivery to the post office.
Do you print your paperwork before pick up or do they give it to you at the shipper? If you print, do you carry a laptop and printer in your van?
Majority of the time the shippers provide the paperwork. But if I need papers for pickup I run to Office Depot or Fed Ex / UPS Store and they can print. I probably run and print once every month or two 😄
🤩🤩💕👏🏼 nicely done
Great video awesome advises
What load board do you use to find loads like this?
Did you have prior experience? Also, how much is the necessary insurance? How much is YOUR cost/mile? How much do you set aside for vehicle maintenance? Thanks!
Had no experience prior to expediting, I studied and did all my research for about half a year, purchased my van and got to it 😁 for insurance you need 1M liability and 100k cargo commercial. I keep a few thousand for maintenance and down time during repairs
Great video. I have a question what video did you watch when you were doing all of your research sir, thanks
did u have to set up an LLC.?@@DaniilVataman
You Go, boy!
Best video well detailed definitely salute….
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Young man... just want to 'say" that I wish you the best. Is a good feeling thing that you have your wife with you. Earn money, travel, sight seeing, vacationing at the same time. Enjoy it! Blessings in multiples.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching Ed 😄
What load broads are you using??
Thx for the info and keep grinding and safe out there ✌
Yea that would help some. I'm looking into the same thing.
Panther is always looking for Independent Contractor Driver's or lease a vehicle
@@kingofkings5175 You talking about Panther Expedited?
Notice he's just flexing to make extra on RUclips views while not answering a single question about where he gets from
Keep doing good work good videos..
Excellent video
Question? Are you a owner operater or do you work for a company 🤔?
Great video. I'm thinking about leaving my job to do this. If you don't mind me asking how much in a year could I make doing this? I looked at C5 Expediting but my currently salary is 54k. Could I make 6 figures easily doing this Vs my current job I have to work 6 days a week 12 hr shifts to make around 84k.
Hey I’m pretty much in the same boat I have 60k salary at my job and with overtime I do a little over 80k. I’ve been researching this and plan on pulling trigger this year. I have experience doing otr in a semi but this business model just seems better to me than buying my own semi.
@Trucker CEO yes and I don't even have a CDL. I work for a package company. Overtime has slowed down, but I'm like, is adjusting to that type of lifestyle and sacrificing my time away and living in a van worth it? How much money would I need starting off to get the sprinter van converted or set up? How much money will it cost me completely? If I could double my earnings what I'm making now, maybe but I know one thing. They said the cost of living is going to go up a lot by or in 2025.
Great video What do u used to find loads?
Message me on telegram⬆️⬆️ let's talk, you won a giveaway prize 🎁 🎁 🎁
Great video man but who is your dispatcher? How do you get your loads ? With your cargo van?
Great video.good production value.two questions.do you have an MC number question? Mark also how do you book your loads?
Can you breakdown all your expenses? After the 7k how much are you left of profit after, gas, maintenance, misc expenses, taxes, etc..?
Clean about 35/40%
Drove semis for 17 years and had to stop because of Vertigo at the end of 2012. Come to find out it is the bone in my neck next to my skull. Hoping to have it fixed soon. Was looking at getting into this probably next spring.
Is it due ti driving?
Is it due to driving?
@@guerrillamane9573 I don't know, it could be. Constantly turning my head a lot and bouncing up and down.
Stew, Serious question. How does one actually get started in this business? I mean I have the van, have the work ethic, I just don't know where , or HOW to start something like this. Help a guy out and any tips would be appreciated. You can send me an email directly if you wish. My email is in my about bio If you can help me out here, I will owe you one, I mean that
@@1realtruthrightnow742 start with shiply and craigslist.
Hey brother I just came across your videos very helpful , and I wanted to ask can we do this part time ? Thx
Your video was great but what dispatcher do you use to get load and what load board do you recommend that I can use to get loads for my van ?
$7000 in 5days? How many miles and gallons you got? Do you have breakdown for all your expenses?
At least $2,000 in expenses or more
just for clicky
Even if u make 10k a month u be good for a healthy life
@@666BEEZY i say 3k ..sleeping well , eating well, enjoying is a must to calm ur self for such long drives. .
$7000 is your gross, could you make a video on your expenses and what your net is?
Mistake #1 don’t ever go to jiffylube unless you want your engine to go boom less than 100 miles later
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Where do you get your loads from?
How you doing man? Loved the video!!! Can you tell what insurance you carry/recommend for cargo van? Is it the same as OTR drivers?
Congratulations, you won a giveaway prize 🎁🎁🎁🎁 message me on telegram let's talk ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Hey sir great video very helpful I've been in the industry for about 25 years but I just recently started my own cargo van business
Any other advice or help you can give me would be much appreciated
Thanks for watching! Will be posting more content in the future. Stay tuned 😄
When it comes to numbers, you really made me laugh my man! Those rates are a big bs of a lie! I've been for so long in this business and literally no company and none of the people I met on the road gets those rates that you listed ( which reflect a $2/mile average). And you don't even have an extended sprinter to be able to fit the maximum capacity. And if by any miracle you really did have that insanely paid week, don't lead others to believe that this is the business looking like. Because its nowhere near close to that!
Lol I’d send you the ratecons but I don’t have a reason to show you my clients. If you get your loads off the loadboards that’s where they are cheap. Find direct customers and shippers. Thanks for watching man, safe travels! ✌🏼
Hello abel If i start this business how much net profit i am expecting to make per month.
Great video bro thanks
Ok Guys. I'm going to answer the question for you!!!! You will not make this type of money if you are depending on loadboards or courier apps to try to make this type of income. These loads very much exists out there, its up to you to find the companies that have hot loads and are paying the price to get them delivered. I have personally seen loads from Atlanta to Virginia, Texas and Tennessee that pay over $7,000 for that load. It depends on the manufacturing company and how hot the load is. So yeah. $7,000 is rather normal (Kinda on the lower side) if you know what your doing in the business.
Sometimes you can make $7,000 in one day, with a sprinter. You have to do your leg work, introductions and relationship building. You cannot forget that part. In the mean time, while you are building, you can contract with couriers that will keep you going, but daily you want to reach out to manufacturers that will put you on their vendor list to catch their hot loads.
Don’t understand why people make vids of how to lose money. You kind of forgot to subtract fuel maintenance depreciation insurance and your time from pay. Grade school math shows you are basically working for free.
Something tells me u tried this and failed. Anyway ppl drive these sprinter cans because it's less responsibility. But u can still make small pie
Don't be cruising any city with scooter, you will get jacked.
hey man your videos are great!! but would you mind sharing your dispatcher?? who do you use??
What app are you using to book to get these deliveries?
Thank you for the video.
Do you need to have a DLT & MC numbers?
Hello ,and thank you for the informative video. Where to find loads?
Nice video, now before buying the cargo van and picking up loads. Did u have to get a business license first?? If so what type
Really liked this video new sub here . I am new new authority ive been running under a carrier but not really making sense iam trying to get on some loadboards can you recommend any tips on getting new loads . I have a high roof extende promaster 3500
What load board do you use? Please answer, I have been looking at DAT and havent found any good rates
Do you have a video on how to find loads? Or do you work for a dispatcher??? Currently not making anywhere near this much and they have a hard time getting me loads...any help???
Nice to learn ways to find loads
Great content in your video. Thanks.
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. Could you please inform us on which website you found the loads? Also, how can we obtain the contract? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Great video, are you getting the same rates today as you are in this video?
blessed to have a wife that is willing to accompany you on your journey.
Hi you doing, like the video. What load boards you use for sprinter van
I enjoyed very much watching your video, I'm willing to jump into this business, and I have a question.
Are you work with application, or brokers. Better to say how do you make your dispatch?
Hey brotha thank you for the content ☺️ 💯. I have some Q for you how did you get started? How'd you get your experience? How long did you save up for your van? How did you save up for your van? Where do you sleep when OTR? Do you eat out there order take out when OTR? Who do you do OTR with an app ? What do recommend for 1st timers when doing to do OTR? THANK YOU MAN GRACIAS SEÑOR
Good questions
How reliable is your what year engine type? On your transit any recommendations?
I have a question what type of insurance does this job requires ?
Love this episode, Im very interested in otr cargo van . what dispatch company you use .. I need one .
your video is really inspiring I love it keep it up. I’m from Houston and if you Could you please tell me how do you work and find load yourself or the dispatcher company name because I have a sprinter van just like yours and I don’t know how to work it if you could help me with that I would really appreciate it thanks.
Where do you book loads? Can you do a video on how to book loads?
❤thank you sir I will join in near future well done information ❤
Great video. I think I know the answer but as a shiny new neophyte I'd rather be sure....did you load and unload or was it done for you at each location?
I was a driver 90%of the time you don't have to touch the load(except to secure the load when inside).some times you have to do the job (load the van)companies pay when you have to do that(how much they pay for that extra work?the company never show me any number about it, hope this help(forgive my little English)
Good deal bro! I have a expedited company and looking to do a 10 hour radius for driving . I hat websites or apps do you use for booking loads?
Is that just a fog long light on your front grill and where did you get it? Is it only legal off-road or anywhere?
Hello... just wanted to know about how much was ur gas for those 5 days of running ?
