DM Business Inquires! - Розваги
Don’t listen to negative comments. I owned a truck in Germany, it’s always a good thing to be your own boss. Stay up and driving!
Exactly brother don’t listen to anybody just get in the truck and drive and make your money that’s it.
I loved Germany living there u see a bunch of opertunities to be an entrepreneur
Ehhhhhh it’s kinda good I guess
It doesn't matter if you own a big rig or a box truck... You own something that makes you money that's just what it is. I actually was regional but quit a few days ago I am done with trucks lol
@@pheezo743 even box trucks ?
I can't even believe people displayed this video. Young man out here trying his best! I applaud him👏🏾 and wish him good luck 👍🏾
Racists probably.
A man getting in his bag everyone should like this video
Young Buddy taking initiative, control of his destiny, and providing mentorship. Blessing and Prosperity! 🦾
Where there's success there's hate...im sure he knows that
@Aggressive Asian Face Fool. You don’t say stupid shit like this when whites, Asians or any other race does “bad shit”. So why every black person is somehow responsible for an individual actions ?
I'm glad I found this video. I'm currently 20 driving boxtrucks making deliveries for Pepsi. In the middle of getting my CDL right now. People get jealous but it takes alot of hustle and work to become successful. I'd rather begin my career sooner than later. ❤
Bro well said don't let the haters get to you just keep going. I had the same problem when I first started driving.
You already got a career
Bro, I wish you the best, but be warned...
I still have my CDL, but I got out of the business after a year hauling beer. It's a great source of income if you have no wife or kids and are looking to save money.
Just don't waste your life doing it. It's long and irritating work, not to mention unhealthy. Being a fitness freak it almost killed me. Being on the road 12 hours a day had me thinking horrible thoughts; it will get to you after a while.
Also, another thing to consider. If you use your CDL and get paid (cpm), you will be denied any regular mortgage unless you have two years experience; Fannie Mae rules.
It was a painful lesson to me.
That's the truth sir
good job dont work yourself to death bro. Being young is about experiencing life dont be old and stressed cause you was focused. Timing and go at your own pace blessings bro
I think it's great that people are out here trying different things and getting out of the regular rat race to try to make it. They only thing that I would try to pass on to you is that you need to figure out your Per Mile Rate. You do this by figuring out how much it costs you to move that truck 1 mile. So you have to include Fuel, Truck Note, Insurance, Freight Insurance, Maintenance Account, Driver Pay, Taxes, IFTA (if required), Tolls, Factoring, Load Boards, etc. Then you break it down to the mile, usually with no note an O/O of a semi is about $0.98 - $2.00 per mile, so that is the BARE minimum of what you need to earn.
That way, it's much easier to figure out whether a job/week's pay is worth it. Example: if it costs You $1.57 per mile to move that truck and you accepted a Dallas to Miami load paying $2,100.00 you're only making $0.02 profit per mile.
Anyways, keep your head up and your mind right because yesterday was the easiest day you had, today will be hard and tomorrow isn't promised.
Watch my latest videos
Man, He said "Let's get this video to 25 likes." Meanwhile, He has 200k views and 6.6k likes. That's pretty good! Good video! You earned a like and a sub.
Exactly. Same here !!! New like and sub just for that comment
Thanks guys!
Its inspiring to me im subing
U fell for the oldest trick in the book
@@ChrisTV1 man look what youve done on UA-cam in the last 2 months 👍🙏🙏
I stared my journey in tinting making 175$ a week full time. Three years later was making 660$ a week full time. Right now Im making 1000$ a week full time. Been saving,gonna start my own shop and go for 1000$ a day. I was homeless once and was broke most of the time. Now doing great. Just never gave up.
Cool story, keep grinding my man ~Motivation...😎
God bless you
Tinting? As in window tinting ?
@@robertcurtis6415 yes sir. I tint car windows, I’m three weeks away from starting my own business.
Ran my own box truck from 2001-08 and to this day I still say that was one of the funnest periods of my life. Keep hustling!
Always 😌
how do u get into that?? do u just buy a box truck on craigslist or something
@@Jordan-mk9kz I bought my truck from Enterprise. I had leased from them for awhile and noticed how thorough they were on scheduled maintenance for their rentals. They sell their trucks after they hit a certain number of miles.
Do u need a CEL license for a box truck ?
@@Kito-vt3oz no
Salute... I'm in the process right now of getting my CDL but I didn't know you could make so much money driving a box truck without a CDL that's awesome thanks for the video.
A lot places doing it right now a shortage of cdl drivers!
That's gross what where cost of fuel and other things tolls insurance plates etc etc but still sounds nice
i didnt kn0w that either
@@jeffbanner4580 was gonna ask if 5k clean or gross. Thanks.
Cdl. It's cdl. Not "cdl's". It is only ONE license at a time. It really annoys me when people pronounce it that way.
Always take pics of your freight after loading strapped and everything. I’ve had customers damage it unloading it
Yup! Learned that the hard way
And if something is flimsy or looks like it’s about to break. Mention it to the owner, I worked moving and customers would try to blame me for those cheap particle furniture you buy at Target breaking into pieces. People don’t understand that some furniture isn’t meant to be taken down and rebuilt again. Basically just make a little video of your load all strapped and ready to go and when you get there to show there is 0 damage. People are crazy, they’ll do anything to avoid paying total. Some people will let you do all of the work and than bring something up hoping you won’t go to court for the money. You’ll be surprised how many rich people do this just to save 800 bucks or something.
Great advice
@@cvgodd1432 Exactly
Smart!
I’d suggest make relationships with local furniture stores, thrift stores, junk yards; pretty much any place that sells large goods to consumers and ask for owner/manager - leave a business card, follow up etc.
I’ve been running the road for over 5 years - it all comes down to $ per mile.. make sure you break down all your numbers on a DAILY basis.
Document every shipment with pictures before and after.
Much love be safe.
How much per mile?
GREAT advice thank you very much and good luck!
Good info…
Picture taking is a MUST
So $ per mile is best jobs?
I know this is old but I really needed this, I started smoking again and lately I’ve been feeling real unmotivated. After watching this video it really made me think about what type of goal I have for myself in the future, and that I need to get off my ass and stop procrastinating as a 20 year old black man. Going back to get my license Monday. Keep doing what u doin man stay up and stay blessed👑
Hey watched your latest vid on tarping. I've been driving since I was 18 and now I'm 52. The secret to tarping is fold the front like a envelope so the sides go to the middle then the top comes down over the sides that way the wind blows over and around. Then you do the same at the back but you fold the top down and the sides go to the middle over the top that way the wind blows around it. Then to make it tight use your bungys to pull the tarp to the back before you finish doing the back. Once you've done that put rope in between the crates or pallets and pull the rope tight. if it's done right you don't need strops at all and the load won't move. Also who ever told you to twist the strops was stupid always make sure they not twisted because they will always come loose. Finally once you've done tarping strop your load but you won't have to have them as tight. I carted pallets of cheese on the back of my second truck which was a flatbed and never used strops just a tarp and rope and the load never moved.
When I had box trucks I installed backup cameras. The team appreciated it 😊
Is it expensive to do so?
U ain’t had no team or box trucks.. u was the employee who appreciated your boss cameras 😂
@John Smith rather be weird than dumb Ike yourself 😂
@John Smith They're clowns...a generation illiterate, amoral clowns.
Seems like it should be standard.
Even little cars have them now sometimes
Well done sir, instead of being a typical 20 something partying and goofing off and plan to only get serious when they hit 30, you're hustling and ambitious. I love young people who hustle, they go on to do great things.
Everyone I know who was smart and ambitious and no nonsense in their 20s are now super wealthy in their 40s.
Rooting for you.
I want to be super wealthy in my 20s and i only have 5 years left
@@D1_Tactical In your 20s is insanely hard. You have to work insane hours and be very aggressive and be almost perfect with your investments. I didn't start to be able to start saving until my late 20s and I was way ahead of the majority of my friends. One friend though owned a $1M house when he turned 30 and could support 2 kids. But he had a rare combination of really high IQ and highly motivated.
But best of luck to you. The same friend also said he was going to be a millionaire by 30 so you do have to think like that.
I retired just a few years ago in my early 40s.I just went back t work 2 days a week to have extra money to enjoy myself--go out to eat--etc.
@@D1_Tactical don't put that pressure on yourself dude...20s is about laying a foundation and building...you'll get there...stay persistent and it will come
@@eliasadam2345 what did your friend do that had 1 mil house when he turned 30?
Wow, that was a LOT of driving, but $5k in a week, I'd say worth it! Thanks for putting this up, I've been thinking about leaving retail to drive loads around the country, and you show the good and the bad about it, appreciate you, man, keep it up!
It is I’m inspired
Dude, I love your commitment to the hustle. I hope that to go and grow. Keep it up!
You your own boss and you young keep grinding homie you aint gotta share shit but u are and its greatly appreciated
Took it upon himself to find a load. Much respect brother.
Hustler
He going places. People are to afraid not even try
@@centralintelligenceagency9082 Exactly that s why the business is wide open too many dreamers and not getters
@@lazywaysincome8169 I’m a dreamer ,I even got the money ,I’m scared to loose 😬😒
@@centralintelligenceagency9082 I’m scared to invest and loose everything ,I have kids I take care and afraid to loose my savings trying to do something like this but shit I don’t know if to start it
Tomorrow is my interview to become a non cdl box truck driver…watching this only heightens my excitement for the job! Hope all is well n u still wit it Brodie!💪🏼
I hope your business has come far since this initial video! Very inspirational indeed especially to these young ones looking for direction in life.
Keep it up man! You're grinding double time. Driving and filming to educate us on how we could too can do this. Much respect, stay safe out there brother!
congratulations man! found your video and always happy to see my generation putting in the work to be successful. good luck and stay safe.
i love how informational and transparent you are with the videos
You're always gonna have to break some ground before you can break even. You're your own boss young man. Stick with it. It will all payoff in the end.
I wish you much success. Keep yourself safe.
Respect your hustle. Occasionally I drive box trucks cross country with work. Thanks for sharing your work here.
Congrats bro I’m in the process of getting my truck now. Getting everything else finalized. Thanks for sharing
I work in a warehouse..but I want to be my own boss..how do I start the whole process?
The wisest thing that should be on every wise individuals list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy
@Thiago Maddox Expert Mrs Quinten has changed my financial status for the best. All thanks to my aunty who introduced her to me.
She is obviously the best, I invested $3,000 and i made profit of $28,000 just in 7 days.
Her success story is everywhere
I lost about $4,000 to a scammer before I was recommended to Expert Mrs Quinten financial institution and believe me she helped me recover the $4,000 and made an extra of $7,000 in the space of a week and four days.
She really made name for herself.
Your killing it bro
I’ve been on the fence trying to get into the box truck game
Your video was very informative/inspirational.
Keep killing it I know you will with that type of determination and dedication.
Trust me guy, in a sudden storm- keep moving. Flashers on, drop to a manageable speed quickly, maintain control but don’t stop. If you stop you have a higher chance of being struck by a passing vehicle.
but in FL flashers on is illegal ....
@@RussellD11 Lol never cut on flashers tbh but his other advice is good. I been driving CDL vehicles for 9 years and keep moving and at 50-55 mph is a good strat eventually you will outrun the storm
@@TopG_KnightofOne agree and the "flasher law" here is dumb and I think "no visibility" is an emergency where you should be legally allowed to have your flashers on ! in my opinion it DOES make you easier to see!
@@TopG_KnightofOne Lol, 9 years and you know it all huh? I've been driving 27 years and I can tell you , You are wrong and a danger to others, please go hang up those keys..permanently.
@@nightbloodrayna Huh? Are you drunk? 🤔🤔 When and where did I say I know it all? Reading is fundamental Mr. 27 years cause you are a danger to yourself 😂😂😂 too much of that toxic nightblood in your bloodstream
My guy! Keep doing your thing out there. Much inspiration in this single video. You've just confirmed my entry! Much appreciated!🛣🚛
A lot of people do really think you can't make big money with a straight truck, buy ya they sure can and this guy shows you a perfect example how to. Great video 👍
Man you have no idea how this video just motivated me. I think my job on some and I need to get prepared and BOOM your video pops up. Thank you for posting. New subscribers
To the person who is reading this, don’t give up on your UA-cam Channel. Seriously, keep going it’s going to get better!
I dont even know why I clicked on this video and surely the first comment is that comment.I started a channel and kinda neglecting it.Well, time to get back to business now .
@@BoomWahDis do it bro! Man I can’t wait to be a big time youtuber because I seriously wanna help other people grow bc Ik I was once in that position. Let’s help each other
No it aint lol!
@@jerico80 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣
🙏🙏🙏🙏
This video was recommended to me out of nowhere, I haven't see any type of this videos before, was about to skip but just watched the whole video. I don't know about if it is worth it for you but just wanted to say to keep motivated out there and your great dedication for this business or any other business adventure.
i did owner operator for 6 years. A bit different than what you did, I had a dedicated route. I averaged 2-3.5k per week. Which was great, until tax time lol. Spent almost 70k just in fuel one year lol Then not counting fees..taxes...operating costs...maintenance. My first year I made 140 on the books.....after everything was said and done brought home about 55k.
Whoooh.... So now it's easily over 100k for gas a year🤮
Dam
@@eyerish2632 No it, could be 40k for gas and roughly half of the remaining 100k for taxes. in cali self employed get taxed horifically
Better than nothing didn’t you put all those miles down to get paid those miles at the end of tax yr?
You need a better CPA
Great video! Thank you for bringing us along!
GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL!! WELL DONE ON THE BACK UP!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I love this my step brother was telling me how he wanted to run his own business and he wanted me to learn to so the fact u out here getting it and showing people what its like is nice
Do your thing young man! Ignore all negativity you'll no doubt hear from armies of toxic people who will try to discourage you. Stay confident, and keep up the good work. You'll do great, as long as you stay on top of your expenses and your taxes. Congratulations to you, and best of luck!
Congratulations to you young man. Setting an example of what success looks like!
First video I've watched of yours. I like how you're raw w/the content and funny too! Keep it up bruh!
Hey Chris,
This video was awesome. Thanks for taking us on your very real journey. I kept stopping my wife and sharing what I had just seen in the video. And the good news is, that she was also interested in what she was seeing as well. I'm 62 and you made me think about getting a box truck for local deliveries, so when I finally stop working my job I can still bring in some money.
Good job Chris, I hope it continues to work for you. I'm looking forward to your next video share.
You are so funny I love your spirit I'm excited about getting me my first box truck 💪🏾❤️keep motivating and inspiring
This was a really good video, I’m thinking about doing this on the side for extra money. I love the transparency bc it’s super needed. 👏🏾
Aye Chris proud of you bro! Going to the QT since you’re in the south. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a fuel card to save some extra money. Probably a dime or more but every penny counts! I use fleetone
My phone be listening to my conversations me and my cousin was just talking about getting our own box trucks and everything and then your video pop up. Keep doing your thang bra
Hey Chris have you been able to offset the increase in fuel by charging a higher rate? If so, how did your customers react?
Love the positive videos brother. Keep em coming.
Thanks for giving young cats a path to follow. That is one of the biggest missing links in society right now. Kids have few road maps to follow that show them how to be independent and successful.
Congrats bro, just bought my truck last week getting ready to book my own trip soon! GL with everything be safe
You gotta wait it’s not that fast
Do I need CDL for this size truck
We all appreciate the eyes and hand on your doing but don't video in drive in the big truck
@@errolwilsonvillep6774 No sir!
When you say "bought," you mean you paid cash $$$ right bruh? Cause until you got that title in hand, it ain't bought, it rented.
My brother I'm new to your channel but it's great seeing other brothers out here making money on their own 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 salute to you
first off i'm glad u made it thru that damn storm, wow, but continue to grind my guy i'm looking forward to starting up real soon thanks for the videos
Keep at it bud! I love seeing young people living their best life. Keep up that entrepreneurial spirit. I cant wait to see how far you go in the future.
Make sure you save some money for repairs. Never know when stuff breaks. Also, the DOT are very serious about sleep time. You can get a fine for not being parked long enough per day and end up losing a whole week of pay in fines.
I was stuck at the border of Texas for 10 hrs because my driver didn’t log his time right 🤦🏿♂️
Just red tape to keep the small man small. That's why I'd never drive trucks. Can't make as much as they say you can
How do they keep track of how much time you are driving if you work for yourself?
@@donsolos drivers are required to keep logs, either paper logs or EDLs (electronic driver log). EDLs are becoming more and more popular than paper logs. I myself started with paper logs and now I’m on EDL, no cheating the system with the new way
Good job on your new business! Keep pushing never settle for less!
Very good young man. I’m happy to see young people grinding for success 🎉
Yeah this popped up outta nowhere for me too. Super dope I'm interested now. Great job big dog ill be checking in. I might have advice questions if I get into this. Inspired ya
Thanks bro! 💯

Seeing shit like this is so motivational. I honestly can’t wait till i have enough money to start my business you like you bro. Good luck and be safe out there!
Hustling for yourself is always worth it hard work to get the progress we.want GOD bless young bro RUMBLE young man RUMBLE AHHHHHH
When you work hard, you don’t have to hustle.
Thank you for letting us SEE you getting to a bag 💼. With our own two eyes. First person view. Very motivating
🔥💯
Love driving medium duty trucks. i've only driven one with a short flatbed for RV usage, what a beast it was
This was super cool to watch, honest hard work my dude
I’m looking to do the exact same thing as you! Thanks for making this video. All of this info helps out!
No problem man, thanks for watching.
Same here.
Good video Chris. That’s a nice chunk of change for a work week. Keep grinding.
Thanks 👍
Thank u for sharing part of your journey with us
I'm NEW to all this I just applied for my llc and passed my dot physical last week I'm excited for this journey!
Congratulations on the business venture young king. Stay blessed.
Nice truck! Congratulations on your business, the travel alone is going to be quite the journey. Life is nothing more than a series of experiences. Enjoy
Although I've never driven something this huge before, I'm seriously considering renting a box truck for a week, getting some loads and seeing just how it works out for a week.
make sure you look into insurances
@@TerraFirmaX for what?
@@Jagado if you’re working in a commercial capacity in transportation there are a lot of insurance requirements. You can’t just go rent a van and start a delivery service with regular auto insurance.
The coverages are higher, you need cargo insurance, unladen liability insurance and more. And that can cost you thousands a year.
My pilot car for Oversize loads had to have a 2,000,000 per incident property damage coverage.
The list goes on and everyone wants in your pocket. If you don’t have it you could lose your ass for the rest of your life.
Exactly. I’ve been driving tractor trailer since 2016, looking in buying me a box truck and insurance if a must. Can’t even get a load without cargo insurance
@@DivineGoddess760 you also can’t get a load without an active authority. Mc/dot number needs to be active for any shipper to be using you.
Well, this appeared on my home page and glad it did. Great video bro, new sub! 💯🏁
Thanks I really appreciate it!
Man! I'm so glad to see a brother out doing it! I know you're going to make it big. All the best to you and stay safe my brother.
Amen ,amen.
Good for you young man 👍 Best of luck and may you have success 💪
Keep pushing, I owned a sprinter van couple years ago, it's a wonderful experience and good money, u inspire me to by 26 inch box truck cause I don't have cdl. GOD Bless 🙌
You should invest in rubber gloves for the diesel gas. If you get it on your hands, they’re gonna smell for days! Some gas stations have gloves at the pump.
not true just wash immediately
It's always great to see someone hustling and building something for themselves. Congrats and keep building.
Good job and the best of luck in you'r new Box Truck. You made five stacks that week and that's good money. Congrats.
hard work man and consistency my dude. Good luck
Bro, I appreciate you doing your thing. I’m inspired. You da boss homie. Trust me, you’ve earned much respect. 💪🏾
I appreciate that
@@ChrisTV1
Np bro! 💪🏾
Hype shit!! FIP baby! get that money!!! stand up lets go chris!!!!!
Based on what you displayed, for your first time it a good start, vs. fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle, it can only get better with experience, like you expressed in your video, buy more trucks, hire reliable drivers and make money and be successful, those are the goals everyone should aim for!
This is dope. I just found this video. I like it good job bro!
💯🔥
I don’t know why this pop up in my recommended videos but glad it did. I’ve been wanting to transport cars so seeing this just proves I need to start investing and start getting serious about it! Good video bro stay safe and prayed up 💯💯
Check out ATI (AUTO TRANSPORTATION INTEL) channel. It is all about auto transport, DOT, dispatch and more.
Cars you scratch them you pay for damages good pay but it's starting to get a lot of people also no money running empty only oneway unless you get cars coming bsck
Sure is good to see this guy do his thing. All the people that are talking negative about this and what he's doing are the people who don't want to see others shine. Shine on dude and go get it.
Appreciate the video bro. Definitely about to start mine up
