    Brandon thx for your time and I have been following you for a couple of months now. I am a veteran (US ARMY 16YEARS) AND 26 YEARS AS A OTR DRIVER. I recently got hurt at work and have been living on workers comp, my family says I need to retire but I dont Want to give up the trucking lifestyle. I have really been wanting to Start my own Brokerage and I look forward to seeing this industry from a different angle. Again THANKYOU ! YOU ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION.

    I know this is an old video, but due to my own situation, just came across it. Brandon, any video I've seen of yours seems to be very informative and it is appreciated! I just wanted to clarify about the boc-3 for anyone who reads this. This is actually one of the only things that you're actually required to use a third party to have it filled out and submitted to fmcsa. Good thing is it's only a one-time expense and usually the service can be found for ~$30-50.
