    Dave your video truly impacted my life and our business. Had i not heard this video i would not have the business with direct shippers today. My insurance tripled but so did the revnue. Part of the reason is because we are such a new trucking company. But each year the insurance cost will decrease thus increasing profits. Thank you for being transparent.

    9 months in on trucking. COVID killed my chauffeur job. Went to major trucking company, 3 more months until they pay off the loan. Started working as a trainer after 7 months. Seeing the opportunities for owning your own truck. So I will follow your content. My next move will be my own authority. My friend was getting his authority, in California, but insurance quote was $40,000 a year as he only had 9 months experience. He ended up going to Utah and got insurance for $18,000. I am also keeping up with him and continuing to learn.

    Don't beat yourself up too much. High overhead can put a new business out of business very quickly. Took the safe route and you're still in business today. that said, when an opportunity falls in your lap should always take it! Wind falls don't come often.

    Hindsight is 20/20. Of course now you look at it as a missed opportunity because you hear how good it is to haul freight for that company. At the time, you were new to trucking, probably didnt have the cash flow to deal with the cost ofninsurance, and if ANYTHING would have gone wrong that soured the relationship, you might have put yourself in a serious bind. I think you made the right choice. You are doing well regardless, so I would say you should have no regrets. Thanks for all the great information.

I am sure each of us have stories from our own lives that we can plainly see, in hindsight, how fear dominated our decision making process and we failed to prosper because of it. Thanks for being vulnerable and reminding me how important it is to fee the fear and DO IT ANYWAY!!!!
