  • I absolutely love what I'm doing. It's really starting to sink in that I am free. I am so over the employee life. I'm so excited to be building a business for my family. I can't wait to see where my business will be in the next 5 years. Keep grinding, keep networking, and stay focused, success is right around the corner.

    I love the information you provide! Your videos are very informative. I want to start this type of business on the west coast since I am retired and the money is not enough, and I would like to know how you get these leads... is it through an app or several apps?, or do you have a dispatcher? Forgive my ignorance... if you could guide me a bit, since I don't know much, it would be of great help! Thank you so much!

      Yes, you can, I've seen them out there. I've seen seats taken out, plywood installed along with some D-rings and your good to go. Best part about that is you have AC vents in the cargo area.

      I've had jobs with all the Benifits, independent contractor way better, I will never go back. Independent Contractor gets cheaper insurance coverage and you may get paid vacations but it's limited time. 1 week, maybe 2. If you save right as an IC, you can vacation as long and as much as you want. Not for everyone, do what you feel is best for you.
