Special Thanks To Our Guest Andrew
alexentrucking?...
Andrew has been overcoming adversity his entire life. From being the victim of a kidnapping as a child growing up in New York City to contemplating suicide as a young entrepreneur, he never gives up, always finding the “loophole!” willing to go above and beyond to win.
Today the former pre-med student owns 15 Trucks, paid for in cash, and runs a successful multi million dollar local trucking operation. We went to visit Andrew at his warehouse and got to learn about his journey to success in the last 2 1/2 years and all the failures that proceeded along the way.
This has been your longest interview, but the gems 💎 and insight was worth every second. To contemplating suicide to managing a multi-million dollar business. This is top 3 TNH podcast by far.
YEEEES This Story went on 2/TOOO Long but i"m Driving so that's the only way even though i'm Stilll Skipping through it!!
This brother is a good business man and a excellent boss
I don't know about anyone else but in the beginning I was like... "I can see already this kid got a Truckin biz gifted to him because of his family $". The more I listened I was like damn! Anyone else would've given up.
Props to Andrew!👏🏽💯✔ He deserves all the success coming his way.
Agreed
Facts
This was exactly what I needed man I needed this. I just got my CDL and I’m going to start my own Authority. He is definitely a KING with his testimony may God continue to bless you Andrew. See you at the 🔝
Trials an tribulations threw it all he didn’t let it break him, he still strived and believed in his self much respect and dope interview
I knew this man since HS. I got a small dose of his entrepreneurship when we started a fight club. We set up fights like PPV. People in school would pay to see those fights. We even had a whole tournament. This is a true story!
where are you from?
@@KittyOfficiallyNotYo he won't respond anymore because he is scared now
Wtf 😂😂
And that’s good smh 🤦🏻♂️
This Brotha is the very definition of perseverance. Great job!!!
I don’t know about you guys but with the struggles and coming together and everything working out now I see God all over it. Knew it! I was writing this before he said all glory to God and He gets the glory. Amen!
He is such a solid dude. What he did for the lady/dispatcher..Among other things he did for people.
TRUE DEFINITION OF " walk by faith not by sight "
Shout out to his friend Malcolm !
I am a newbie. I am so glad this young man spoke slowly, precisely, and repetitively unlike prior CEOs you interviewed. It allowed me, a female who has no interest in the trucking (my nephew does) industry, to understand the pros & cons to this business. He provided so many gems that newbies would benefit from. This was the best interview yet. He should write a book.
Me too. Well said.
The last 20 minutes=powerful AF
Did everyone miss the fact that Him caring that his driver made it back home from Utah is what God used to keep him from shooting himself. Wow! Very inspiring.
I greatly appreciate this video. I am a 60 year old man who has been driving with my wife for more than 10 years.
We have always been company drivers until last year when we bought our “dream truck”. It’s a 2015 Cascadia with the DD15 in it. Not the best choice of engines for sure. It’s definitely cost us but we are hanging in there with the same testicular fortitude as this young man.
Respect and appreciation to both of you
You can tell when someone’s a genuine person. Shout out to this fleet owner man. Some companies don’t care if you get your money or not

You're taking it the right way do you God bless
This is one of the BEST interviews I’ve heard to date! I’m sure many missed this because of lack of patience. Andrew provided immeasurable insight. This blessed me and my husband a lot. 💯 Praying God’s continued blessings upon his life and business. 🙏🏽
Y’all should listen to this young man. He got experience.
This was a dope interview. It was worth the length of time to watch. Thank you sir for going onsite and conducting this great interview!
Took me 3 days to watch this since I’m in school for my masters and a full time nurse but this is by far the best episode. His story is a true fact that the sky is the limit. Keep striving for greatness young brother‼️
🇪🇷
Cuzzo with Card is the MVP 🏅🏅🏅🏆
Last 10 mins is gold thank you 🇭🇹
Facts 🇭🇹
Just when I thought that your interviews couldn't get any better, this one took the cake. I was riveted listening to his story from beginning to end! You're a great interviewer because you allow people to tell their stories the way they're going to tell their stories. This brother dropped so much knowledge! And beyond that I was just captivated by his whole story. He had all the right elements of a hero's journey: the times of despair that led to great hope in triumph, the villains and the loyal teammates, there was even a kidnapping!
Your podcast is so very vital in not only the trucking industry but to showcase black excellence and other minorities in trucking who are not visible and who would never get to tell their stories for the world to hear. Thank you for all you do. And this interview was 🔥
🤠🤠🤠 I became an owner operator in 1996 and quickly grey into a fleet by 2002. The secret to our success is because we hauled house hold goods for North American Van Lines and the profits were substantial. In 2003 I made the mistake of forgetting why my company had grown so fast and went out and bought 4 reefers as well as got my authority. My truck was the only one that remained in the House Hold Goods Business because I loved it. By 2009 I had lost my fleet to all the problems the young man explained in the video, and decided that the only way to build a business was by starting a local moving business which I did with one straight truck and by renting trucks when needed. That business grew in leaps and bounds and when we had a long distance move I did it in my semi while I-was still leased on to the Van Lines. I would not recommend getting a fleet of trucks hauling Ģeneral freight as the chances of succeeding in that market is very low. So many things can go wrong. Today I own 4 straight trucks for local moves and one tractor trailer which I lease on to Atlas Van lines. On days when we have too many local moves beyond our capacity we rent the trucks. Thank you for the video.
100% on the money. I come from software engineering from a state university. And my field is very hard to fing a good paying job. Trucking seems like a solution but not my own authority hauling freight like you said. I want to to intrastate and in state heavey hauling of construction equipment, hige HVAC units, and anything thats big and heavenly. What do you think can I make money moving heavy equipment? Thanks.
This guy is genuine.
Youth has its pitfalls but also ihas advantages. I am 57 and I find entrepreneurship harder now than when I was in my 20’s. Back then I just thought about an idea and made it happen. Now I got to ask 99 questions and then just get lost trying to answer them.
Damn this guy.!! 👍
I need a whole 10 to digest all these gems!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯💯🔥🔥🔥 Best interview so far!
Another one...
The obstacle is the way! Gotta punch through it all to get on the other side, over and over again... 🇭🇹💯🇭🇹🚚🇭🇹🚛🇭🇹
Facts 🇭🇹 look at all the sad comments lol that’s why only one percent make it through in life
They should make this into a movie I don’t know anything about this but it inspired me so much
I look at your videos I don't look at them all the way through but this will be the first one that I ever looked at all the way through it was like listening to all the problems I had in trucking since I started but Alex and I appreciate you having a platform to let the story be told I figured it out too thanks 👍
THIS THE MOST RAW AND UNCUT INTERVIEW 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m a Physician who just attain his CDL , too. I just bought two trucks as well. Love the knowledge!
do you have anywhere we can chat on? I just have a couple questions to see how you are able to balance that
Man he went through a lot of financial suffering. Many people would of been quit.
It's 4:11am and I have work at 7:30a. I started watching and thought I'd probably fall asleep and come back and finish it another day but I could not fall asleep. I watched and listened to every minute. I'm not in the trucking business but I can relate and appreciate hustle. Great interview, thanks for sharing an inspirational story Drew.
Young man a true inspiration 🦾
THIS IS SOOOO AWESOME ANDREW!!! I am soooooooo GLAD I WAS APART OF YOUR JOURNEY WITH YOU TO ACHIEVE THIS DREAM YOU HAD… keep doing GREAT THINGS AND BEING THE GREATEST GUY YOU CAN BE. Always stay faithful and humble and thing will continue to soar your way!!!

Man this just gave me hope. I had to shut down my authority, but Im a company driver in FedEx. Im going to get my authority back up running again and start my business again! Much respect to young dude!
Do give up you can do it, Put God 1st, stay focused 🙏🏾
Happy this brotha figured it out and found his way to success. Also happy he didn't become a doctor😬😅😂
Best interview so far. Andrew is a solid story teller. I’m not even in the industry but I come here for the different stories of entrepreneurship. Keep it going
Detailed interview! I definitely enjoyed it and having gone through the process in the past, it’s relatable.
This is super inspiring! Much love from Botswana! 💯
Powerful story. Enjoyed every minute of this interview. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.
this is one of the best interviews !!! thank you 😊
INSPIRED!!!! ✨👌🏾✨🙏🏾
im so glad i watched this very inspirational video for Growth i learned alot one thing i can take from this is never give up on your vision...
his story is a beast! shout out to the guy being in utah. he save a life and did'nt know it
Delivery the good news🙏
I know him personally and I can say it is one of the realist people I know. He has worked hard for everything and is a fair dude toward anyone. Everyday I am amazed by the business man he has become. I have learned so much watching this and can apply it. That never give up attitude no matter what the situation is looking like and even if the cards are stacked against you. The fact that is has become successful is motivating. This is also good information for anyone looking to do this. Thanks again for sharing this information and keeps doing what you doing. Your destined for Greatness…
He solid?
Good afternoon, I am an investigator trying to reach him for his attorneys in a civil court case stemming from an accident. Please let him know that we are trying very hard to reach him and that his landlord has my contact information. He may not know he is being sued as the attorneys are being provided by his insurance company. They need his assistance defending him and while may be trying to avoid being served it won't matter in the long run because his insurance has been served and eventually the court will let the trial proceed and he will still be liable for any amount above his coverage amount. Please get this message to him. Thank you!
This is a great story
Proud of you very inspirational story !
This was such a good interview. Drew inspired me and I am not in the trucking business. The end was everything.
Great interview...very inspiring story💯💪🏽thank you to both of you brothers
You ask really good questions in all of your interviews. Please continue doing this amazing work. You are such a tremendous help. Thank you ❤
Incredible, awesome, inspirational story. Love the dedication, perseverance spirit. Congratulations brother keep soaring 🦅
Andrew I’m so proud of you young man!!! You are truly a testament of faith, and how walking with God will lead you in the right direction. All praises lil bro
Can't believe I watch this interview all the way through. I was worth every second. Full of priceless jewels through and through. This brother's final remarks were epic. Great interview!

So inspirational and so many 💎 💎 💎 , you can tell this guy is a serious fellow. Don’t let that voice confuse y’all. I have to listen to this again with notes
This was an absolutely phenomenal interview. This was a graduate capstone course. Official business lesson, with the most important jewel "How to Fail in Business and recover" Great Stuff
Hello Family, hello TJ Trucking N'Hustle. Thanks for the video. Great analysis and amazing contents. I learn so much thanks again.
This is the best interview I've seen on RUclips... PERIOD. I love the rawness.
Aà
Living the content you are providing to people on youtube. I am on my own journey as well but I am nowhere near you in subscribers at only 160 subscribers but slowly building the community god willingly. This is a great interview and look forward to continuing to follow all of the stories shared out there with all of us from all walks of life. God bless to all the subscribers of yours who add value with their comments and encouragement.
Bless you Andrew! You were always in service to your drivers, customers, and everyone else you ran into. That’s a key success formula and the higher power does serve those who serve others. Love your work ethic, love your story.
He has a powerful testimony
That last gym is so important isolated thinking is important especially growing up in an impoverished community
One of the best stories told on here💯💯💯💯💯💯
God bless and keep up the great work out there 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
This was sooo dope and sooooo needed.I have a similar story that hasn't turned good yet. 1 year in the trucking business and its been all bad. Took me a year to get a truck but I bought it from a shop that works on trucks so I though i was good. Wrong...2 weeks after i get the truck the fuel injectors go out $5k in the hole. Get that fixed a month later the engine goes out. The shop i bought the truck from says they can get me a rebuilt one for $4200. Cool, get that done.1 month later the transmission goes out. When it goes out its the driver first day in the truck so I look real bad. I havent driven this truck 200 miles yet. Truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere and i get it towed to a shop but i dont have any money to fix it. I start gettting calls about i need to do something with this truck but I am out of money.After about 6 weeks I reach out to the driver, who is now running under me in a rental, if he could loan me the money to fix the truck. The driver actually offers to help me pay to get the truck fixed, just pay him back. Cool.....but the shop its at is some bs shop that has way more trucks in it than mechanics and my truck sits there for about 4 months.5 months of making no money but paying insurance and everything else and the truck is finally fixed. Another $6K down. 3 weeks later rebuilt motor goes out. Take it to Freight Liner and they say to get everything fixed is $13k. I dont got it. My driver has a partner who will pay to fix the truck but they will only fix the truck if they can buy it. At this point i have no other choice. Its been almost a year and I haven't made a single dollar and im about $40k down. I want to give up but I wont throw in the towel just yet. This is just soo inspirational imma keep going, maybe in a year or 2 i can be on here to tell my story.
Dang it will get better
Might wanna leave that truck alone.
Man this was so informational and so many 💎 💎 💎 He is not like the regular guest’s.
He is built way different and this guy is so real. This is the first guest that answered mid interview for his driver!!!! Lol
This was so dope. Great stuff Trucknhustle!!!!!
Ng MJ hhuikk CD see
best one yet
This story is crazy , information was crazy , this might be one of your greatest episodes …
There are pros and cons to both used and new trucks. Leasing from a dealership affords you warranty on critical components, less break downs on average and better fuel economy and safety systems. Used trucks offer a quick plug and play yet you will suffer from the risk lacking the latest safety systems, fuel economy and overall reliability.
Yes indeed
Great job Drew..

Awesome perseverance and great interview.

One of the greatest truck owning prodigies to ever do it‼️
His father did the right thing. He was young and spoiled by mom, but his love for a lot of money and the lifestyle of having it, kept him going. His cousin saw something in him, he didn't see. I did not understand why he didn't learn diesel mechanics or get his CDL so he would know more about his own business. The Filipino woman was another big blessing for him and he did her right. Long story short, he took a long time to learn, but he did. He's definitely long winded.
What he did in 3 years 99% of guys in the business couldn’t do in a lifetime. Truck N Hustle didn’t deserve this interview and he knows it. This guy is built way different than the usual opportunist he’s accustomed to.
@@nolaneli295 right he did it in 3 years, thats a short period of time! Salute Andrew💯💯💯
Had unwavering persistence.
We Appreciate You
Good 👍 👍 👍 video, great info 👍
He’s speaking all facts my husband and I run a trucking company and I can tell u all truth .. I hope I’ll get that mill soon .. My husband said the same thing the older trucks not breaking down so they change it to make money .. This trucking business no joke
That sounds awesome. Would it be at all possible to ask you some questions regarding this one any of your socials? I would greatly appreciate it
This man is goated.. what a testimony
Great story and insights for running not only a Trucking business, but a business in general! Great example of how to not give up and to believe in yourself even if others don’t.
D
This is a true journey of what trucking success is. I was intrigued because EVERYTHING he spoke on is exactly what I’m experiencing with a new trucking business, and it wasn’t the end result and dollar amount, but the truth BEHIND a the monetary success that others have failed to share. I am also in healthcare starting a trucking business. Every point is spot on! But one must BELIEVE IN THEIR VISION!!! I’m truly inspired!
Can I ask you some questions off of RUclips? If you have any socials let me know
You wouldn’t think an interview over 2 hours would be worth to watch and yet from the beginning to the end this was amazing. There is no way you can not be motivated after watching this. Great episode!
i need to hear this story as a service business owner , long interview but im so glad to hear it
Longest interview ever but with a lot of great knowledge and tips But could have definitely been a faster story of it 😂
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
❤️❤️❤️
From LI also(Hempstead) Now in Ga driving trucks! Interesting in linking up!
Great show 👐🏾
I like your video content and I have watched some videos on your channel
this man deserves everything he has !
This has been a great story🎉. The take away was to never give up.
This interview was a jewel…👍🏾💯
Nice interview👍

Andrew's faith in the Lord Jesus and his willingness to share that fact has caused blessings from above to pour into his life and business. Don't give up when you walk through the desserts of this life. Instead, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lead not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your paths. Go with God, Andrew!
