This is best video have came across this year. Outstanding and knowledgeable. Keep it up man. I was a truck driver for over 20 years before I actually took the opportunity of applying for a business Grant which I use to start my own trucking company. These are the few tips i will tell all truck drivers and for those who are interested.
1) Protect your license. Companies will ask you to break the law. Almost force you to. Don't do it. Don't get greedy and speed to make more money. Your license is more important than kissing your companies butt or making a few extra bucks.
2) Try and stay local. You may have to work crappy jobs for a year or so, but if you still have a good driving record and you are a good worker you can move on to a really good job easily.
3) Get an hourly paying job. It's just better. I got to a point where I would never work for anything other than hourly.
4) Get a job that pays overtime. Anyone that tells you that you'll just pay more in taxes don't know how taxes work. Companies will tell employees that most of your overtime will go to taxes to trick dumb employees into working for less. Not a penny more is taxed because it's overtime
5) Always keep your ears open for a better job. Be a good/hard worker but as for loyalty, be loyal to you and your family.
6) Something I always say out loud on a daily basis... safety first. Live your life on the motto of safety first. It should be tattooed on the inside of your eyelids.
7) The number one rule I always advice is that you always keep your ear open for better opportunities. I was able to start my own company because I stayed inform with the available offers around me.
If you are also thinking of starting your own Trucking company, I will advise you look into grants.
I subscribe and will keep on watching your contents because it worth it. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
@@TimothyWilliamsJr you welcome
I am the owner of a new start-up operating in Transport and Logistics. I am seeking help and assistance in finding a federal grant specific to my line of business.
Can you recommend me to the one that help you out 😊
@@dablixjay Asking about a competent and award-winning grant writer, I will recommend you make your research about Latrayvis Abcarian. she is a Professional, Licensed, Intelligent, Experience Governmental Grant Writer and also a grant application reviewer for federal grant.
Straight to the point, no fluff, no silly intro, no plug to buy your online package,....you just got a follower
Thank you I appreciate your support family!
@@TimothyWilliamsJr How do you get insurance if youre renting the truck? What vin # would you give them?
Call the company your renting from ask if they accept umbrella insurance, if they do get the vin # from them to lock in the insurance.
Same here
Been talking wit the wife about taking this leap of faith and trying this. And then I stubble across this video. SMH I'm listening God. And I appreciate the video brother I subscribe and I'll be watching. 👌💯
Hell yeah man you can do it 💯
Thank you for the support, you WILL do it keep faith in yourself and everything will line up accordingly 🙏🏽
Ismae Fuentes 🙏🏽
Yes indeed my bro you will do it 💯
Go for it brother crazy faith is real god bless you and your wife in y’all journey prayers from me and my wife
Man I can't wait never been this excited
🙏🏽
Do your research. I drove a Truck for 18 years. Things to consider.
Cost of insurance
Constantly finding a responsible driver
Always getting cited by DOT
Cost of permits going up each year
Maintenance on trucks
Good luck y'all!
Dan are you still doing it and how much did you clear a year on average
Couldn’t have said it any better! A lot of trucking companies don’t last the first 2 years because of the things you listed.
It’s crazy a friend of mine had me drive her box truck for her she just started the company. Needless to say I haven’t driven for a while.. them trucks are expensive to keep on the road if you don’t have a nest egg
DNA Entertainment Yes it’s not cheap when things go down, so it’s important you don’t jump in this game without reserves put to the side.
@@TimothyWilliamsJr *How much in reSeRVeS is considered adeQuaTe.?!?* 😯
Thank you! My goal is to get my trucking biz started this year. I appreciate you showing exactly what needs to be done. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dude, you did a really good job explaining this without being vague or misleading. Thanks for this.? Most people don't know how to do this. You helped me out a lot. I appreciate it, thanks!
Ok so what’s up everyone going to give my input on this gentleman , first of all don’t be scared to try something new . My name is Edgardo i just started my cargo van business. I received everything from this video . I even used Agnes fabiani super awesome insurance agent she really went above and beyond . I have a dui and some tickets so I know how hard it was for her to find me a good insurance with a low (for me ) down payment . Thanks for making this video I’m excited to change the way my wife and kids eat . Now it’s up to me to put in that work . Bless to everyone that takes this path in life and hope I come across many dollar signs
Thank you for this video bro. I am already on this path but you have shown somethings that I needed know and factor in to my plan. I truly appreciate the knowledge you have shared.
Thank you for the support, I’m glad I was able to inspire and help you on your journey. Best of luck to you 🙏🏽

11 Jewels of information to help us start a very lucrative business. Thank you for empowering us Tim. 💯
Thank you for the support I highly appreciate it 🙏🏽
@@TimothyWilliamsJr Good day Tim , I'm currently doing my research on the box truck industry . I was givin some advice about renting first , then lease . This would help to not have to pay for mechanical issues if purchasing a truck . I was told never to actually buy the truck . What's your view ? Looking forward to your feedback . Bless up 🙌
@@JohnWick-gl6mw *SeaRCh aRounD his channeL he taLKs abouT youR queRy soMeWheRe tiTLed undeR "buYinG v.s. leaSinG".!* 🍻
Great advice, TKX for sharing,,,
Thanks for the knowledge brother!!! Bless you man!!!💯❤️
Thank you for all the great information. This was a very informative video and you gave all the facts. I've been through this whole process of starting a transportation business.
Thank you for the positive feedback.
I appreciate you brother. I’m in real estate and just got my first check. I’m going to set up a LLC by Monday.
No problem, good luck!
I want to say thank you Tim for the info and great advice. I already got experience with the trucking industry and I am to the point in my life where I want to start a business. Thank you once again may God bless you
That was thorough, instructive and complete.
Thank you!
Timothy,
I’m very impressed with your instruction videos on trucking. I’m retired now. But, I used to teach what you’re saying. You are very knowledgeable and what I hear from you is very accurate and informative. I’ve started and ran several transportation companies. Keep up the good work!
Richard,
Thank you for the kind words, I’ve been around trucks my whole life so I picked up a few things lol. But I will keep up the good work thank you again 🙏🏽
Been debating the Limo business...
turtle19dad To be honest I’m not sure how well that business would do because of the competition, and not a lot of people wanting to be cramped up in a limo because of covid.
Once you have the truck and all the things described in this video, how do you go about getting work (Loads) ??
You find loads through load boards, brokers, shippers, or hire a dispatcher to book/find loads for you.
I have two box trucks that I’ve been moving houses with but I’m in the process of transitioning to move loads from companies. This video was very helpful because I was unsure about 2 or 3 steps I had to do. Also you confirmed I could make the money I desire and expect to make, thank you
I’m glad this video was able to help
you out, good luck out there.
I want to move my house. I would love to ask some questions about moving a house if you wouldn't mind?
@@kaylaross4607 I’m in California, only doing local stuff at the moment
Thanks for being through bro.. I looked at a lot of other videos but yours hit it on the nail.
Thank you, my goal is to help educate others on as much financial knowledge as I can.
I want to thanks you, and you did a good job educating me , and at the same time .
You did open up my mind about the Truck Boxing Business. Thanks Again.
Thank you for the support 👍🏽
Keep dropping informative videos! 💪🏾
Will do every monday stay tuned 🙏🏽
Thank you for helping us all with this extended process. You set such a great example for others.
Thank you for the support, I’m glad I could lay it all out there in a easy to understand way.
This video was crazy transparent and easy to follow. Thank you bruv.
I’m glad it was helpful for you, thank you for the support 👍🏽
That has been the most eye opening video without the confusion thanks
Thank you for the support, I’m glad you found value 👍🏽
Man I appreciate you so much for this champ.. I've been driving for metro for a few yrs now but now you have open my eyes to what I've always wanted to do.. I recently filled for my LLC and EIN. Taking my time do everything step by step so by the fall of next yr I will be up and running.. Timothy you da GOAT
No problem, Im glad I could be of help to jump start your business. Good luck to you man!
U up n running?
@@victorcordero1458 yes. Just bought my box truck a few months back. Got my son driving while I still drive for Metro.. after 1 more year then I'll be driving for myself..
@@andreligginssr2132 hows it going
Hey man, hows it going?
Whats up Tim, just wanna say thank you for giving us this free knowledge, I'm currently working on a box truck delivering appliances for companies , but I've been thinking about starting my own business doing that, but im definitely gonna rewatch this video and get these things done, once again, ty & be blessed!
Whats going on, thank you for the support. If I were in your shoes I would ask a bunch of un answered questions you have to your employer. Also find out if you're able to get your own truck and run for them so you don't have to start from ground zero. Good luck, and thank you again for the support!
@@TimothyWilliamsJr p
Thanks for your time !
explaining all the steps we need
Great video !👍🏽
Thank you for the support 👍🏽
Yooo..thank you so much for your videos ..I'm looking to start this summer and you simplified everything...again...thank you so much
You got this!
New to the game here waiting on my authority to go active i appreciate the info my brother !!!!
Thank you for the support, good luck out on the road bro!
I needed this video King. I've been looking for a sign to get out of my current field (healthcare) and do something where I can have some more financial freedom. I think this is it. My only question is how do I go about getting customers like Amazon and others ? Can you make a video on how you landed big ticket clients ?
Thank you for the support, hopefully you eventually will be able to gain that financial freedom. Every week I’ll post different videos educating on financial education, and other businesses to invest in. Also, “Amazon Relay” is a app you can use to run directly with amazon. Check out my video on “how to find loads” in my recent videos.
You came in the clutch with this one...Me and a friend was just talking about switching from 18 wheelers to box truck...Preciate it
I'm going to be honest bro you're going to have more options with the 18 wheelers. If you already have a CDL I would say build a fleet that way. If someone comes into this game without a CDL or no goals to get one I would suggest box trucking.
Man this is the most detailed list I've come across. Thanks brotha
No problem fam thank you for watching
I can’t wait until you blow up because your content is so informative 🔥 I will share this video with all that I know because you stay dropping gems
Thank you so much, we will both blow up in due time 🙏🏽
But he won’t blow up everybody’s worried about dababy and his girl or which rapper is smoking on who’s dead homie instead of trying to build wealth smh
Wow sir, thanks for the information. I currently work as a Special Police in DC but I want to work for myself. This is just what I have been looking for. I can appreciate you giving this information for free. Not like others who only want to do it if you like and subscribe. This is about financial freedom a lot of us are looking for. Thanks again.
First and foremost thank you for your keeping the streets safe. Also, thank you for the support my channel is based on educating others on business, investing, and personal finance. Good luck on your journey!
Best trucking video i ever watched and I've watched a lot.. You laid that down quite flat ! Appreciate it !
I appreciate you bro, I’m glad I was able to make it easy and understandable.
Thank you so very much for this video! I and my brother have been looking for someone who can educate us about this business! It’s like you were reading our mind Sir! Thank you so very much!
No problem thank you for the support, and good luck to you and your brother.
Just wanted to come up here and give you your flowers bro 💯. I’m a young 21 year old business owner because of you. I found this video 7 months ago as I was already searching for the information on how to get going and this video alone help me get it done bro. Very powerful/ detailed video to the point where over that time I’ve sent this to 10 guys who’ve asked me for help and it’s helped them. Bottom line keep doing u because you never know who’s life your gone change with these videos. God bless you man 🙏🏾
You started a trucking company? How's business? What state are you in? What's the income like so far, monthly?
@@PermanentHigh Yes sir I’m located out in NC and I quickly grew to 3 trucks in 2 months by the grace of god contracting with lowes delivering appliances. Income is life changing my man first month is always the hardest but anything is obtainable with the right information and god. This video is gold 💯
@@t.townnnn I have more questions for you than I have for him, because you're freshly off the ground.
I'm serious about this too. Did you use your business credit to start or did you have cash? How did you set up your company? Did you buy all 3 trucks or are you leasing/renting? Thanks for the info bro. I just want to keep believing that it's possible and I want as much info as possible
@@PermanentHigh this all depends on who you contract with. I think you should get everything filled out/ finalized which he explains how in this video and from there figure out who you want to contract/ run loads for and that will give you a better idea on your approach. Your approach will not be the same as mine as my approach was not the same as his. God bless you and keep believing!
@@PermanentHigh leasing is not a bad option if you get a good deal but you will always make more money owning.
Hey Timothy! Good stuff! Thanks for the information!
Question: Is it possible to do this business renting box trucks from Ryder or Penske to start? If so ,would need most of the things listed?
Yes you could start off with renting from either of those companies, a friend of mine got all his paperwork set up and started off by renting from Enterprise. I will be doing a video discussing either buying or renting a box truck very soon!
@@TimothyWilliamsJr ill be looking out for that video. My fiancé and I worked for transportation companies for years, we are trying to start up our own business and utilize what we learned. Your content is very helpful, thank you!
Would like to take this time to thank you for being so informative and giving in-depth amazing information
Thank you so much for the support 👍🏽
Blessings upon you. Thanks for all that information, it really helped. Stay safe and Bless. Appreciate!!
New video will be released every Monday on different business ideas, investing, and personal finance education! If you haven't already hit that bell so that you can be notified every time I post a video. Thank you all for the support 🙏🏽
Mr. Williams, how do you find customers for the box truck business?
John Nash I have a video on my channel on how to find loads check it out
Thank you so much, what if I can’t afford to buy a box truck right now. I was thinking about renting one, what are your thoughts?
Tracy Jacks Thank you for the support, I have a video coming very soon about renting vs buying a truck stay tuned. If you have any specific questions you would like to be answered just let me know!
Thank you for the info I was trying to understand how to start a box truck business I do semi now but when you lease a truck from a company they do everything for you because you really running under their name but I’m ready to see my name on the truck but really thank you for the info

Way too many regulations.
*Disclaimer* For the insurance I recommend you finding a “Vin” number & a truck as close to the value as you’re purchasing to get a “Quote” I’m sorry for the confusion.
Do you have to have a Cdl?
@@ArlaJordan i think CDL Class-B for this class of truck
@@birrias20 ok. Thank you
Yo man i think I did a bungii with you back in the day!
Arla Jordan No you don’t as long as your truck is under 26000 lbs GVWR all you need is a standard license, as well as your DOT medical card!
