Bought a 24 ft with lift gate to do Amazon but ran across a corporate furniture co that wants a dedicated delivery and setup for $180k. Putting my nephews in it and just manage the business. Appreciate your content my brother. Have a couple cousins that I'm looking to put to work soon.
You have an email address I can reach you at for insight on how you locked down that furniture contract. Im also cash app ready for your time and knowledge.
@@kingtastic2 easiest thing to do is go on Indeed.com and search box truck owner operator in your city. Several opportunities to choose from will pop up. That's what I did.
I own about 30 Hino’s. The only issues I’ve had with 2011-2012 268’s is every now and then the nox sensor and dosing valve will fail. And unfortunately we have had three blown engines after 300k miles. Other than that our Hino’s are our most reliable although they are expensive to maintain. My favorite box trucks are our Freightliner M2’s with Cummins. They are very solid and dependable.
Paid 8k for my truck 362k miles c12 caterpillar engine, only 15k hrs on it...minor stuff wrong with it that may take a few hundred to fix besides that it's highway ready. We plan to get another one in six months and jus keep flipping til we have a fleet. You are certainly preaching brother keep inspiring ✊🏾💯‼️👍🏿
I have a 2007 Hino 268 For Sale, 26ft, Automatic, 300k miles, Liftgate, No CDL required, was maintained by Penske regularly, located in Charlotte, NC. Currently running it OTR but can be in Charlotte for serious buyers. Reason for selling, moving up to a semi.
I keep hearing you say 26 foot with lift gate, and I’m confused. Do you have a cdl? because most people don’t that have box trucks thats the hole purpose of settling for a box instead of a semi, to make money! If the truck itself is 26ft with a lift gate it’s probably pushing 26000lbs by itself so what can us people without our CDL load on our trucks without getting in trouble on the highway. We can’t even put a hammer on the truck it will go over 26000lb lol
Hey Demetreus do you recommend buyin a refrigerated box truck. Or wat u think about international with Cummins engine on it with 3 year warranty? How bout a 2019 Isuzu box truck?
Me living in Maine. Looks like I have to head to GA to get a fairly decent truck with decent prices. Now I do not think I be able to do Amazon as I live in Maine but I have thought about getting a flatbed truck and do convoy loads and freight container etc. This is hard to research atm
@@demetreusb Most of all with winter eats away on the frames because of the salt etc. So far you are the only RUclipsr I follow with good info when it comes to straight trucks.
I live in California u can't buy a truck like that Cali has Cali Compliant laws meaning it's going to be BRAND new because anything under 2012 doesn't fall in that bracket of what they consider California Compliant. Anything $12,000 is sold out of state
@@4ConservativeNews do you have a link on where it says you need 2014 and up. I thought it was 2010 and newer to be compliant. Oh man California laws are ridiculous
@@greatestever3090 I don't I spoke with someone here in L.A I was so close to purchasing a truck and she decided to throw that tidbit of info in at the end of the conversation. She told me that it would be sold out of state and if I bought it DMV would block the registration
I have been watching your videos. Very inspirational. I have been a tractor trailer driver for a little over 2 years now. I’m stuck between starting with Amazon with a box truck vs a tractor trailer. I think it could be safer starting with a box truck then eventually getting a tractor trailer. I’m afraid Amazon won’t have much freight in my area. I seen a video where you looked at freight on the load board for different areas and Chesapeake, VA is in my area and there was only 16 loads but I’m not sure if it’s because of slow season. BUT here in Suffolk, Va where I stay we are set to have an Amazon open this year that’s the biggest industrial building in VA and another in Chesapeake, VA. I’m not sure what to do. I know we have Amazon flex warehouses but I think they are different from fulfillment centers.
If your buying any truck made sure you have breakdown money.I bought a truck back in October and it stays in the shop more than on the road. When it's on the road I make great money.
I’m interested in purchasing at 26ft non CDL box truck…I only hear people talk about Hino and international trucks. Do you know anything about a sterling truck?

@@Melanin_queen00 I’m asking $45k but I’m somewhat negotiable. Definitely a reliable truck (Hino’s are the best in my opinion) I’m currently running OTR. When are you looking to get into a truck?
I like this video!🙏🏾📿💪🏾🤑🔥 for starting out who gives the best price for commerical insurance? Because progressive is high $2800 down for the 1million Nd i think $1600 a month.. or even just to get started with coverage of 750,000 just to work some load boards..
I'd prefer people to buy there truck outright due to overhead. Leasing is ok, but typically for the amount you put down, you can buy a truck for that same amount. Thank you for watching!
Hello, I just want to say thanks for you videos and all the helpful info. I just came across 2013 Kenworth T270 26 feet box truck with a ALLISON automatic TRANSMISSION & PACCAR 6.7 I6 Turbo engine for a good price. Is that a good box truck?
Do not buy an international with a Maxxforce engine. It will cost you more in the long run. If you do buy an international box truck make sure it has a Cummins engine and an Allison transmission
Wassup bro. Is there any reason not to buy a reefer, will it cancel me out for any regular dry freight runs... Or is it just the best of both worlds in terms of making your self available for every type of load
If one doesn’t have the funds to purchase can you start by leasing/renting? One can have 10k or 20k cash but by the time you find a truck; get your paperwork up, repairs, etc those funds maybe gone. So I’ve heard about driving for other box trucks, leasing, or renting, etc in order to learn the business then saving $ and buying a truck etc so many options one doesn’t know what direction to take. I’m about to sell my house, and start a business with the funds but what scares me is doing it wrong or losing. Can’t be afraid to take a step, but my life needs to turn back around. Hitting rock bottom sucks and sadly when you do there’s nobody there to help you out because people simply don’t care but only about themselves. It’s a doggy dog world, in my mind there has to be a solution, a purpose or reason. Thanks brother
Hi I like you videos bro, I have a question I'm about to start in amazon in a 26 ft truck how much are you making more less every week in Amazon with you truck ?

Paccar engines are not good. Need a Cummins engine.
Was curious on how difficult it was for you to find workers comp insurance for Ga, and how much you pay??
No workers comp needed for GA
Do not buy an international with a Maxxforce engine. It will cost you more in the long run. If you do buy an international box truck make sure it has a Cummins engine and an Allison transmission
