    If you have multiple stops most food grade loads give you another seal.( the red band that you put InPlace of your lock.). On a side note bruh I wouldn’t buy another truck just yet from what I see in the videos you have a hang of it but it’s still alot that you need to learn, but that comes with experience. get a contract first, then buy another truck. Another word of advice do a pre-trip and learn about your truck it will save a lot of money.

Last good pricing on box trucks and if the actual back areas has to be purchased separately or if it comes with the truck? Thanks for the great videos my man. You really inspire people to start their own box trucking company with your videos. There is so much money in it why can everyone get a little if the pie.

I got a new business LLC and do not have much credit, so I am trying to figure out which way to go -- rent, lease, buy (business credit probably too new -- since I hear that it takes at least 6 months or more to establish).

Way better than financing a truck . Cashing out is better becuase you gone make your money back with in 30-99 days and I say those days because people have different clients and etc , everyone not on the same level

    • @trucknoffice4410
      @trucknoffice4410 2 года назад

      A factoring company picks-up your invoice from the company you completed your drop for
      this is done typically so you won’t have to wait a 30 day or longer period of waiting for payment
      however keep in mind that some companies require more of a percentage than other...I inform my clients to try to stay under 3% as well as staying out of contract factoring companies
      Hope this helps

    • @jaz313det
      @jaz313det 3 года назад +2

      Before you get business insurance. Check with your personal car insurance agent and see how much extra it would be to raise your liability to 500k or 1MIL. When you get business insurance, they check the coverage on your personal car policy. It makes a big difference how high your liability is on your personal cars. And, business insurance will want 1 year of declarations on your personal car policy.
