    Great interview. These topics are integral to building a successful business. I love the 60/40 split. We started in June and have a contract with a large retailer but also rely on spot market. Getting contracts is very very difficult. Trucking is margins are slim. >10% profits is winning in this industry. We did the boots on the ground approach. It was not fruitful for us. We went to 55 clients.We did win 1 client and she did refer us. So this strategy does work.

    This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, sorry. “The Tesla semi needs 2.2 Megawatts that’s why we built a hybrid.” Doesn’t make any sense. 1) the semi CHARGES at 1 MW and when it’s running (when a hybrid would actually be relevant) it doesn’t do anything near that. Also Tesla has over 100 500-mile semis on the road today and is currently building a factory for 25,000 Hybrid might make sense but idk, 500 miles is plenty

    Hybrid has one advantage most don't think about. The trucking fleet for this country is huge. With a hybrid fleet across America every hyrbid truck is a generator for grid support. Basically a tanker for electricity. Given natural disasters, high energy demand during summers etc... Trucks can be energy transportation along with cargo. It also could act as a mobile energy storage grid, for additional income.

    Fair disclosure: I'm a huge fan of Edison Motors diesel/electric trucks, so I'm biased. My observation is that OTR should stay diesel only, city dreyage can be full electric, and heavy vocational trucks are the best use case scenario for diesel/electric like Edison. Deboss Garage is making an Edison retro fit kit for pickups. Edison is a huge proponent of common sense "right to repair". So their trucks are designed by mechanics using the most practical parts they can find.

    Excuse me, I have a 2007 Hino box truck, excellent, equipped with a full cabin, and in very good condition. I bought it and have not used it yet because I cannot leave my job now. How can I operate it without driving it? Are there companies that will trade with me or how can I get a contract with a logistics company that will operate it and take care of it, including a driver and everything, and give me a salary?

      There is a spectrum of options from starting your own trucking business and hiring a driver and a dispatcher to renting the truck to a local trucking company that needs it. But remember there is no such thing as "passive income" in trucking.

    A 10%-50% that could be shared between shipper/receiver and carrier to serve their bottom lines, lower product shelve cost, improve R&Ds, timely maintain and renew equipment, and pay better salaries. Technology, regulations and human intervention could help to eliminate outdated, non-transparent, and fraud vulnerable middleman. I guess writing a research paper on pros and cons of brokerage could prove a lot. Even for government it’s way to better and profitable to collect taxes from shipper and carrier only, because 2 will wright off much less then 3.

      ​@@ChristoStrom Got an answer straight from the source. Dylan said this: Most leasing companies (International, Mack, Freightliner) want to see 2 or 3 years of business before they go in with a long-term lease. That will leave you with a short lease like Penske, they charge around $500/month with 50 cents per mile. Penske and Ryder have trucks for sale $25,000. That's like $500/month or $125 a week for a truck payment. Way better than the $350 a week I was paying when I started. I bought from a truck dealer and learned the hard way.
