    Thai is by far one of the best videos on the subject of Box Trucking! Because unlike the other channels you don't just talk about the cookie cutter Box Truck setup of starting the business and then booking loads. You actually go in DETAILS about the little things. And for some of us that are learning and that have no experience at all, it gives us more confidence knowing this. Thanks a lot dude

    Hey buddy if you have 2 air tank gauges primary and secondary you must have two tanks.
    The one you drained was the secondary your primary is on the other side it's under behind the chaises tucked inside it in the middle right opposite of the secondery tank it's just sits higher under the cargo bay

    85 gallon fuel tank is OK, 100 gallon is better considering you never want to run with less than 20 gallons in the tank. You're going to wish you had a bigger def tank than that little 6 gallon size. The 12 gallon def tank is definitely a better option.

    I am so grateful to have come across this video. My trucking company was established back in 2017 and I am still trying to get it up and going. Finances being in order is definitely a true statement. I am hoping I can start with a rental to get my feet wet. I’m thinking this may help me secure some extra revenues to run everything on a more efficient level. I am open to any advice from you.

    Just keep that oil changed & filters fresh! Penske keep a nice fleet of trucks. That's a really nice one there! A bit high priced but still it's a nice truck! I like that airbag dump valve. If you're gonna spend that type of money, I want a late model clean truck with a warranty just like that one! As long as you keep that oil changed & keep up on the maintenance, she'll last you well past 500,000 miles! Congratulations👍🏿

      Over saturated market. Loads are few and far between or they are low paying. Most companies won’t work with you until after 6 months. You better off investing in Hot Shot.

      Penske and Ryder often repaint most of the truck prior to resell. Paint flakes off after a year but it's still nice at purchase.

      Need a CDL if truck is registered at 26,001 pounds or more.
      Air brakes certification on a non-CDL is a different animal.

      I bought my 2017 International 4300 26ft Box Truck with 185,950 miles on it for $60,000 January 2022. It's also a Penske truck and it comes with 3300lbs lift gate, air-ride suspension with a dump button. I'll advice that you always dump the air at the loading dock before the forklift loads the truck.
