Correct. 👍🏻😁

I wasn’t in the van everyday and I also had to come home every time I finished a job… like it’s not a realistic being on the road full time far from it.. 😂😂 I had to sacrificed the time, on the road to make it better for the future 👍🏻

• Get clients • Follow shippers, what they want you to do • Make sure you focus on areas on which your heading too not just the long distance stuff price according to area (tough! To do) • GET CLIENTS!!! Aim to learn to how to get clients • You can’t get clients from Cx Because the shippers have them so it’s called poaching • Get to understand the shippers that are in your area so they can rely on you in future and they will call you direct if you do a good job • FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!! It’s so important Your representing yourself & the shipper • get your feedback up by doing a few local jobs decent rate for yourself but make sure you ask on the invoice or the notes - don’t call and pester doesn’t work - bottom of the notes “much appreciated for the work, would really appreciate some feedback on my CX account” 👍🏻 you’ll find your feet Follow other drivers - eddy logistics, Freddie fletcher - etc on UA-cam 👍🏻 great information from them Control your cash flow! It’s so important So your not rushing and forcing co loading

Cost of start up?

@@djay9889 about 12k to 15k.

@@djay9889 I would say 10k - 15k literally depends on the vehicle

Didn’t see the comment above.. that’s really bang on 🤝🏻 anything around that

Correct, it’s not always like that and it’s very difficult if it’s a direct delivery That’s the concept of CO LOADING If you ever hear that said But if it a direct delivery then it’s not allowed

@@BrentFord93 I presume you meant "If it's a direct delivery then it's NOT allowed". It's pretty rare, in my experience for shippers to agree to co loading and that makes it very difficult to achieve (if you do it without permission, you'll get caught out eventually and get bad feedback!). When you do get a job that allows co loading, you'll find it extremely difficult to find a shipper that will give you a co load job to get that second job - most want dedicated vehicles, with direct deliveries.

Correct. Sorry miss wrote that, yes that’s correct Really difficult because the customer sold the service with dedicated delivery

You need to check the courier exchange website and it works on a membership basis

To be honest, from what I’ve seen roughly all have the same types of jobs on The apps are used for outsourcing overloads of works. If that makes sense. Deliveryme Shipley Same day courier network Anything that’s a bidding platform is based for shippers to outsource for sure. I’ll be using the others in the coming months to test them

Private customers are all about networks, who you know & who you’re getting around sharing your business with… For example in the last 7 days, how many people have you told you run a courier business? It’s a slow build-up of trust & stability for the customer because you’re moving their living.

Much appreciated!

😂 yes, couldn’t agree more But it’s got opportunity 👍🏻

Personally, it’s built to outsource client work You need your own client base to then use CX for collections to client work or to backloads back home for yourself If you use it for full time work it’s a struggle but it’s always been built for the above mate Any jobs you can’t do for you to push it on CX which then creates more supply then the demand goes up so on and so on 👍🏻👍🏻 hope this helps Own client base Aswell could be 1 to 5 clients not mega amount

Hi, I’ve been using CX, nothing else at the min because they all do the same type of jobs from what I’ve seen. I mentioned it in the “how I use CX” video about freight forwarding To put it simply you connect you the freight with a driver to move it forward without touching it 👍🏻

Much appreciated Matt! Thank you! Absolutely let’s have a chat mate more then happy to We can talk about football team, no problem

I’m ready to rock and roll by 7am if I haven’t got anything booked in but usually on the road by between 8-10

You have to first find your running costs If it’s 50p - 80p etc Then aim for 3x your base cost or 4x So if it’s 50p charge £2 a mile if that’s not getting much traction after 25/50 approaching customers Drop it to 3.5x your base cost

Plus if it’s on CX then put your finger in the sky find which way the winds blowing because I’ve seen some awful prices for Luton’s some less then £1.20 a mile which is shocking for the driver to run a full Luton So many factors to how much to charge Type of job Distance Location Weight Consignment Time Have a rule set for yourself so you know what your going to charge per what job

@@BrentFord93 got it, thank you for your reply

Thanks keep in touch always looking to learn how much a Luton should cost to run and different types of vans

Sadly that’s the bidding up mate I bid no less then 80p a mile Just the dead miles from place to place is a struggle

Most jobs I bid 90p - £1 a mile

@@BrentFord93 that’s a lot of dead miles, almost 50% of your trips are empty, not good at all!

@BlueLotusFlower.uk- nope, looking at different areas and bids

How’s your average? & do you have dead miles? Or all your own customers?

hi mate, I would say it quite everywhere, using CX is a question I don't think anyone can answer I would say you need your own clients or accept it's not going to make a lot of money for the month but you will get some good work at times focus on 1 - 3 regular clients that how youll make alright money for yourself

Ur Bob on mate u do need ur own clients an working direct,,all these courier apps r making the the proper money not the drivers, am working with an app called citysprint at the min,,slow work,shite pay per mile on the jobs I’ve been getting sent, only been in this game 7 weeeks so got loads to learn and pick up,, so if ur a small van man who owns his own van is 80p/£1 the range I need to charging per mile, for when targeting private customers👍🏻

Only Based in Liverpool ✌️

@@cheekygett8841 a rule of thumb in business is 3 / 4 / 5 Yours costings aim for 4x first If you have to come down to 3x Means your product, service or brand isn’t right If the branding and system is bang on you can charge 5x+ So if it’s costs you 50p to run your van 30p a mile x 4 £1.20 Then add extras like weight Time of day Distance Make sure you can make margin to profit 👍🏻 But majority of businesses aim for 3/4/5

No mate, just my driven. Thought I need to be a little more clear in the next video for sure. My freight forwarding is separate Just the miles covered is it important for that

Not VAT registered yet, looking at options for it Really unsure. got an accountant meeting to discuss next steps

Hello mate ı hope you all good. £600 is your daily?

@yasincanlier4278 no mate, weekly money I made just being on the road

@@BrentFord93 mate. I see alots reviews for CX ; some cımpany not pay money, CX pay sometimes 60 days later. This is correct or no? Please help me. Because ı wanna be start soon.

CX is where I’ve had to bid The shipper is where they contact me Should have mentioned that, my bad

Fantastic podcast! Take a lot from them

Content, content & more content

Correct! 👍🏻

My targets are small because I don’t do loads of miles on courier exchange Not worth it

@@BrentFord93 I see your opinion of the CX has changed, you've gone from thinking it was the best thing since sliced bread and becoming the poster boy on CX social media, to realising just how shit it is in reality

I don't think it’s shit, think it’s brilliant to be fair. Highly recommend for anyone that’s using it has a courier outsource especially but you need your own customers It’s got flaws but what hasn’t, if its that bad you think needs improving haha make one good luck with that I don’t get what people’s expectations are

@@BrentFord93 So, if doing loads of miles on the CX isn't worth it (your words), then what's brilliant about it?

Again haha what’s this mean

It’s a tough call! Especially if you have commitments. Good luck with it, get on the path you want mate 👍🏻😁 For sure find your own customers first without a doubt, that’s what CX is built for

@@BrentFord93 yeah currently contracted to a courier company but looking at getting my own customers on board first and then moving away. Would you recommend the CX for down south?

With your own customers, yes Without I’ve heard it’s a rough market but I’ve seen others do really well But grinding out long hours It’s literally take day by day Week by week it all changes

As a company on CX that’s what’s needed Never really seen any other way They need public liability think must be due to anything happens with the goods on board not sure

Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing 😂 popcorn

Much appreciated for the support! Fasting is a tough one, I usually do Sunday to Monday 18/24 hours fast. The breakfast tastes so good Aswell after a fast!😂 It’s the only thing I can control my actions and my attitude 👍🏻

Brilliant! Thanks mate, downloaded been use right locator But it’s so slow and just doesn’t find it in the area

Double check your settings Make sure your settings match your alerts Try that, I did it now they all match so I leave it running in the background and it matches every job now

I was on the two person account. I’m really unsure because I’ve had 3 people say that now It’s better to have it like that also make sure your alerts match in your settings

I made that mistake 😂 Had my alerts on car size only wasn’t getting anything through

@@BrentFord93 it’s ok ta I’ve worked it out cheers

@richardjones8546 I’m unsure about the colours of the stars not sure on that yet.

@@BrentFord93the colour of the stars mean the job has been on CX for longer than 45 minutes. And if you are struggling finding places to fuel up, download “eroute”.

Much appreciated! I struggle with the music at the minute, not sure how to get it equalised. I’m trying this week for sure. I found it in my headphones and tried to solve it but need to improve! It’s a must! Much appreciated for the feedback! A lot of people struggling which shouldn’t, a solution is in the pipeline 😁 Thank you 👍🏻

Thank you for feedback! 👍🏻😁

I pmsl at folks who watch stuff then leave negative shitty comments. Fill your life with stuff that makes you happy.

Quality Glynn! 👏🏻

Currently, £2 - £3000 is for turnover Much more money to be made outside the van True! I noticed that Aswell 😂 rookie error

Yeah all about learning Plenty to go at, just time and putting it together

Yep Saintsman , “ Just around the corner, collection and guess what it delivered to my next door neighbour” Every week he gets lucky, he makes me laugh, every week!,

@gary4683 😂 never noticed to be fair

Brent I wanna star now I have car which is or website or apps I register.?

@user-do3uy4fu8m with a car not really sure to be honest A car is totally different earnings compared to business to business van I would search something like Gopuff Amazon flex Uber eats Etc

hi, much appreciated for the comment! great feedback. live in a great area getting out is quite easy. getting back is very slow sometimes but I can land close. yeah, I saw eddy's video really well put together. right ok makes sense with the hourly when you do it like that. I dont see it like that but definitely food for thought. my 2k minimum is what I would like happy to work with that, just due to me having the other business and it allowing me to learn for sure I'd love to earn more but to be fair, driving is not the best way to earn from what I've learnt so far i think its just realistic for what i need to do while im building client base its all good ill keep learning FANTASTIC FEEDBACK! much appreciated!

Spotify now have them but audible really good on the monthly You get a book a month

@@BrentFord93 Is it still worth buying CX ???/:)

@harmansarai1388 I would say currently if you have clients and need to outsource work yes If you need to for a full Time job no

@harmansarai1388 am doing a video on what I feel CX is made for

@@BrentFord93 cheers pal that be really helpful !

Plenty more to come A lot more structure When I’m a little more experienced with getting clients I’m going to show how to get first 3 clients

Plenty more coming! Made a few changes 😁😁 excited for the future of the channel

I certainly will mate! How do you find it on the road? I’ve been thinking about bringing it back to doing both trading and van driving because they both actually work quite well

Best thing to do is not rush the accounts & just gain the trading set up

Absolutely… this is how I look at it FACEBOOK is an exchange of service Facebook is a blank canvas it’s filled with people’s days Facebook is empty until we post on social media - it’s then consumed by our family and friends and when something is valuable it gets shared around Facebook then sell that attention like CX they sell the attention of fulfilling the work competed -- CX - is empty it’s a blank canvas with all the tools to build on It needs drivers & work to be fulfilled otherwise it’s pointless because they don’t market for work. They market for completing your work for you. It’s a service exchange Freight forwarders post to fulfil orders - they set the price CX in the middle Driver - wants the value of that job based on what they want to go to and from -- Uber - the market for people to use it. The price is set by Uber The drivers are paid by Uber The driver's days are filled with Uber Big big big difference -- I struggle to articulate the way I think once I've got that 😂 ill be able to make more sense but in trying and working with better people Who can turn my mind into content words & video 👍🏻

Thank you for getting back to me and explaining. Wishing you the best of luck

Same to you mate, thank you for the question Are you a courier or in logistics?

Good luck to everyone!🎉

I like personally the small / medium All depends on your clients who you want to get To get started roughly looking at needing about 5/10k depending on van

Every type of vans as it pros and cons I would certainly look at getting your own clients if you need a full time salary for sure You’ll be unpressure & have an incredible amount of miles to do

This is solely my opinion & perspective Use CX as a tool to build your client base & a network of drivers & shippers

@@BrentFord93 I like to work full time just advise me for van wich van is good I have 13k money right now

It’s hard to advise which one is good for you Genuinely Eddy logistics just done a video on this It also depends on how much you need to make and the types of deliveries you want to do and distance
