No one on UA-cam give details and varies of instruction on there business like you omg. Where have we been to just now finding this videos. So much good information from the beginning to the end . Here in Maryland I got EVERYONE looking at you on UA-cam. We will pray for you and your husband get more trucks and loads. Thank God for y'all to get 5 acres and house. It's amazing how the truck accompanying is across the street from y'all property. God already had that planned out
You guys are awesome, I love it when fellow truckers are willing to share knowledge. I pray that your business is blessed with high productivity and major profits.
It’s mandatory have your personal credit together...apply for business credit once you get your personal credit together and of course have your coins together,most businesses fail because of lack of funds!!!
I know nothing about trucking. But I am proud to see what you have accomplished and love what you are doing to make it happen. Best wishes always and stay safe out there!!!
Hi, I've been in the trucking business for 30 plus years and I'm trying to grow my youtube channel. I try to teach and speak about my experience in the trucking industry. I see you're a small you tube channel also and I would like to help yours by subscribing to yours and check mine out and subscribe and help me grow. Thanks in advance.
No disrespect to the other youtubers out there taking time out of their day to give valuable information, but it was a struggle finding someone who could explain in detail plus making it easy to understand. Job well done! Thanks for giving me a ballpark number before I decide to jump in the water. God Bless you!
Sunshine, this presentation was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! You guys are a an inspirational force...a real blessing with your generosity in sharing like you are, and being a bridge that others can cross over to "better" on. You guys stay safe, and responsible! Will be in touch
Great info. If anything, this should slow the rate of failure for anyone who tries to go in blind with their own authority. Have reserve money! Alot of it! That's crazy that labor costs more than a part.....I have tools....I'm stubborn like that....lol. 👍
I’ll drive for you just pay me 2.00 a mile 30 an hour detention time and layover give me cheap health benefits a retirement plan and paid holidays TY!!
thank You sunshine for ALL of this valuable info that you shared. I reached out to another female truck driver who's on youtube and IG, she never responded. But God always has a ram in the bush! May your business and personal life be blessed beyond measure.
Congratulations to you both keep doing what y'all are doing. Y'all are inspiring and informative to the trucking game , love y'all videos. Jason I must say once again you HIT THE JACKPOT , Sunshine got beauty and brains I love you guys love to see a young black couple doing positive things together. Jason I got much respect for you brother no disrespect intended to either of you. Much love and success
I really appreciate your channel. This particular video is priceless! I am currently a company driver and am researching my options regarding owner operator vs. own authority and this was very helpful. I'm sure I will be emailing or calling you in the near future. I wish much success for you and your family as there's room for everybody to do well. Thank you.
Thanx H Diva. I'm currently saving to buy my 1st truck by the end of next year. $30,000 is my magic number to save up 1st. I'm thinking of running under my company's authority I work for now.
Congrats to you for honestly sharing very important information, wish you great success in your business, I want to start my own trucking business too but have no experience, thanks for the encouragement and keep up the good work.
I just so happen to come across this channel. I love this walk through and step by step. You guys should provide consultung services. This is good info!
Highway diva do a video about owner ops. Im trying to get healthy enough as far as my weight to go out. I have the experience but I need a top owner op company. Keep rising!!
LMAO!!! I accidentally subscribe your channel in my husband's youtube account because both of our gmail accounts are open ...anyways, he was watching your channel probably because he has a CDL (since he was 20) and drives for other companies only when he feels the price is right and recently decided he might buy his own truck just so he can control his own schedule (we do other things which keep us busy). But I'm so happy to come across your channel because my husband thought me to drive stick and I dream of having the possibility to drive a big truck. I think women look so f*****g powerful when they get behind such huge wheel!!! It feels me with pride, it makes my day when I see a lady on the road...taking care of herself and her family at that level. Also, the knowledge you are sharing is priceless!!! I have worked for UPS as an admin. and had the opportunity to appreciate what it takes to run a fleet... it's no joke. Thank you.
It boils down to the fact that you will be operating in the red money wise for a period of time but your in it for the long run and you will be in the green at some point. It doesn't sound easy at all. I've been a company driver for 21 plus years and always thought about going the owner op route.
Congratulations!!!! I'm about to step out on faith and start my own business, as well! We're just tired of working for other companies and making them richer. Thank you so much for the info!! My wife and I are originally from Pine Bluff and Conway, AR. but reside in Fort Worth, TX now...Many Blessings!👆🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿💯💪🏿👌🏿
Great video 👍👍👍👍 the cost of the truck was not factored in but this is after you've gotten your truck however you get it. Really good information on the line items of getting started. Thanks for sharing the details.
Randomly browsing UA-cam and came across this video (though subscribed), it's something I will be needing being I'm looking to start my transportation company. Starting out with passengers but will be moving to products in th future. Thanks!! Will save this to review don't the road ahead.
Glad to see the Boss Lady back! Hope that the family is fine. Hey, would you mind discussing hiring a virtual assistant (what you are looking for), an accountant, and a lawyer? TIA.
I am proud of you guys accomplishments! I am starting my truck company I will be taking my road test Wednesday for CDL I will be working with a company but my goal is to get the my own truck company status. This information was very helpful thank you. Also I want to make UA-cam videos for my progress I’m from Detroit Michigan....Coming soon
Knowledge knowledge is power that you must have to help be most successful in The business,,and great skills trucking your vehicles from your good advice this is good bona fide advice. C not getting of track ,but Pretty hair. Beautifully flower 💐
Antonio of North Carolina I would like to see you make a calendar of all female drivers so I can be in every household so young ladies can know that they can be successful in driving trucks and owning their own business
I’m an Insurance Agent and I specialize in Truckers Insurance. First off these figures she is giving is just scraping the barrel. The insurance puts many out of business. The commercial auto portion for a small box truck policy can run $10,000 to $15,000 yearly, easily. That’s just for one box truck. A tractor policy will cost between $15,000 to $30,000 a year easily. And you must have a trailer with it. It can be owned by you or what we call non owned. $1500 to $3,000 yearly, easily. Most of these policies require motor cargo coverage of $100,000 and that can be $1,500 to $2,500 yearly. A General Liability Policy is usually needed to haul for most companies, they for $1,000,000 it can cost $2,000 to $2,500 for the year. If you have a couple of drivers, you will have to have workers comp policy, they cost $5,000 to $10,000 a year maybe more for new businesses. And the more lucrative contracts ask for complex policies like waiver of subrogation, completed operations, no water exclusions and some other endorsements. This type of business is very expensive to start and the insurance keeps many out of it. And it’s more expensive for new trucking companies because the don’t have any history to look at, so they pay the most. Check the insurance first before you do anything. I’ve had companies stop dead in their tracks because they could not afford the insurance. Even when you pay monthly the payments can be from $3,000 ton$5,000 monthly with 16 to 20% down. Hey
R Lewis Insurance is ridiculous and it’s a system designed to keep small businesses out and run some out of business. Unfortunately, there are not many commercial insurance companies to choose from. This type of business can be very discouraging, I pray that the insurance will become affordable for people to take care of their families!
I have been driving for six years...I already own my own truck...2008 freightliner Columbia...they will be rebuilding my engine in a month... have 40,000 save in the bank...Do think that I should get my authority in January or February of 2020...
@@kevinfitts9252 no, I did not. I used ebay in 2010 showing trucks in Delaware also all over the USA. this truck was on Delaware I won the bitting so I went to inspected it sounds good so I bought it. Detroit 12.7 liter awesome engine

Keep working that Trucking Business, young Lady.
You can also get trailer interchange insurance and use broker trailers until you’re able to afford one.
The most important part is having an amazing woman to help with all this
