@@TheSpar29 Thank bro I watched one of this his videos where he made 31,000 in 30 days, and i seen a lot of other people's videos there is no way they are able to do these loads while only driving 11 hours a day. Lol
Please add a correction to this video... I just had my new entrant DOT inspection and was told that because we are driving a box truck with no sleeper berth the 2nd driver has to be logged in as on duty... not driving therefore using the same HOS as the 1st driver so in actuality you only can still drive 11 hours/day unless your box truck has a sleeper in it which most do not. I was told if we were ever pulled over by a DOT officer we would have been put out of service.

Much appreciated, thank you guys so much, i really wish you guys much success with your truck company and your youtube channel. keep the down to earth video's coming, 4 months of research and finally found someone with real gems, thanks you...
Thank You Warrior I appreciate the invaluable information aka gems you just imparted upon aspiring Truck Drivers / research is key / Q. as a novice trying to come into Truck Driving as an Owner / Operator where do begin the searches for the vast pools of information besides You guys all the insight I have ever heard on You Tube and I Never heard of the True Gems You both just drop again Thank You
I can't thank you guys enough for NOT having BLARING hip-hop music as an introduction to you video. I too am a black man and get turned off trucking videos that look more like auditions for a cable reality show than an informational video on how to start a company that will ALWAYS be needed and make some decent money doing it. I bought a 24ft reefer box truck last year and got my authority in April. I did EXACTLY what you said, go on as many load boards and see what the rates were and sat down and calculated EVERYTHING involved from hotels, fuel, food and truck maintenance, especially insurance before I bought the truck. I called no less than forty different brokers to see if they would work with new authority (less than ninety days). The overall majority wouldn't but they did tell me to keep their numbers and call back at the sixty day mark. I got a few loads but it was just enough to cover expenses. I never got discouraged because I knew at that sixty day mark it would all pay off and trust me, on December 31st I looked back in disbelief that I made $73k in six months. I NEVER made that much money in my entire working career (I'm in my fifties) but I did it. No, I did NOT get to keep all of it but I see that $21k that I did manage to keep as a sign that I must have did it right for a solo operation. I made a mistake or two (doing unreasonable deadheads during my first sixty days out just to feel I hadn't made a mistake buying a truck and didn't realize the cheapest motel such as Super8, Red Roof Inn and such weren't as bad as I had taken them to be) but that was first year out. You are going to make mistakes, get discouraged and such but hey, aren't those the reason why you chose not to work in a damn factory lifing boxes for $11 an hour? These guys are on point and I STRONGLY recommend to all of you to follow their advice. For young brothers they've done their homework. Always, always remember that it doesn't matter how much you make, its how much you KEEP thats important and household and personal expenses MUST be included in EVERY load.
Hey thank you Brothers yeah I really explained everything really well and in the detail not like a lot of these other videos not really telling the sauce thanks
Dang so FL no good? I live in north east FL by Jacksonville. Was really hoping to get into the box truck game and start my own business. I figured I was in great area
@@boxtruckbros9935 cool! Yea I feel like I have a great opportunity to do this being in area I'm in and having the time. I don't have to be home every night and willing to be on road for days if need be.. I wanna service South East with possible loads to Texas and maybe up north like PA
@@adama.4126 all the places you wanna go is where the money at. All you gotta do is gas the truck and go get it bro. Sounds like you got a good game plan and wish you nothing but success.
You are doing a good job of trying to help newbies but you must make sure you are giving them accurate information. You CANNOT run with two drivers in the same truck for 22 hours without a sleeper. It is also Illegal for one driver to sleep in your truck. If you don't have a dot approved sleeper then you must get a hotel room. Yes the dot will check you logs and hotel receipts. You must set the records straight so these new guys don't lose their businesses. If you drive 11 hours and then move over to the passenger seat your are still on duty and will be heavily fined and lose you business. Yes there are officers that will scan the truck stops for Box trucks with drivers sleeping across the bench.
I thought they sounded crazy too as there wouldn't be any proper sleep sleeping in a seat with no bed however everything I can find with the DOT shows that many drivers do this and the hours are only for each person separately. So the team drivers can do twice as far in a day. Crazy and certainly dangerous as one can expect without proper sleep but unfortunately no law maker has fixed it and they are allowed to as far as I can tell
You can not team drive for 22 hours unless you have a dot approved sleeper cab. Dot with stop your truck in its tracks if it catches a team driving on two seperate logs with no sleeper.
I’d have to look into that, but “TEAM” driving was never mentioned and ghats not what we do. Doing Amazon, one will work 11 drive time in 14 hours, then switch. You’re allowed to do that.
@@boxtruckbros9935 that is thr definition of team driving. You getting away with it fit now doesn't change thr fact its against dot regs to run a truck 28 hours with no sleeper
@@moremilesmoreproblems6330 I’ll look into this. But we have separate ELD accounts and aren’t in the truck at the same time. I don’t see the problem there.
I'm near Chicago.. I was OTR for a few years and just got hired as a contractor for CEVA and unfortunately found out the fuel surcharge and pay was nowhere near what I was told so now I'm back OTR. Do you know a good company local looking for owner ops?

Good video. My question for you, wouldn’t it be worth it to get your CDL and operate your own semi?
Thank u for your excellent content and information..u saved me alot of trouble...be blessed...
@Box Truck Bros Thank you for the important tips.
Great video. Knew y'all was from the DMV once I heard you talk. Lol
lol you hip
Thanks for the info. No one else was giving this kind of info
Man I was excited there for a second, before you started talking about my Florida! lol
Thank u much love to both of u
Thanks guys. Real talk.
That was some good stuff 🫡💪🏿
Hey thank you Brothers yeah I really explained everything really well and in the detail not like a lot of these other videos not really telling the sauce thanks

Dope … Thanks 🙏🏾
Thanks yall so much for this information
My homie and his nephew run Fl in a box with no problem for about 3 months now and get work just fine...
Lol I looked up some work in fl lotta jobs popped up ..
Thank you for this info.
The first thing I did was move from Orlando to Ga after I got my Class A
Just came across you guys video. Do you think it’ll be smart to start a box trucking business if I live in a state like Mississippi?
Thank you how would I find the the demand any key indicators? Thanks
when you are waiting to get loaded or unloaded does that count against you drive time or is that considered a break?
Im in Florida & is thinking about starting up a Box Truck business, are saying its not a good market in Fl to start something like this
California is a huge market, I made tons of money under contract with the Home Depot and Ikea delivery.
Brother #1 we out of Virginia.. Brother #2 naw we outta DC.. 😂 you guys got good content... Respect the grind💯💪
Good job don't give up
Very helpful I am about to start my tucking business
Do it!!! Check out the other video for the step by step process on how to get started.
I made these mistakes but with a sprinter van. Oh boy! My profits looked interesting. I am now looking into investing in a box truck.
Did you keep the Sprinter? Did you get a box truck?
When in rental box you can run 20 hours straight there no log machine and they can”t tell how many hours you been running !
So I shouldn’t look into starting a box truck business if i stay in Florida ..?
Great Video!!!!!!
Damn thanks for all the info
Guess I should make some inquires bc I’m in jersey and I’m about done with the CDL nonsense but might increase my load availability having it.
I’m in nj too and just got my cdl in august I’ve been driving for almost 4 months now with my class a and I want to start driving by myself
So what can you expect to make in a good area like Atlanta?
Thank you very much
Good video. Thanks
A lot of good info
This video should have over 1,000,000 views.
lol thank you
Great information
How’s the Chicago area? New subscriber here appreciate u!

Could me and my brother both drive in one truck together? And how would it work if so

False the bull right. U don't need a sleeper to sleep in ya box truck. 😴 and I have a cdl.

Shoot the way things are going If I had the money , buy a cheap one and live in it for real. Think I am crazy if you want ,bets being homeless
