I'm more of a K.I.S.S. method type of driver. If I need a calculator then I'm working too hard. A 220 mile run takes 4 hours. A 500 mile run takes 10 hours. Start to finish. That allows for pre-trips, fuel, traffic (in most areas) and 30 min breaks. The method is simple mental math take the first number of the 3 digit number and double it.
If you're traveling through any major city during rush hour then add 1 after you double.
You'll be early (but not too early) 99% of the time. And you won't be speeding to arrive on time.

FACTS, why complicate it. Lololololol
Thank you for the video. Depending on the overall miles, I would also factor in the 10 hour rest period plus fueling.
Thank you so much for the consultation!!! After speaking with you I felt much more confident about starting my business. Now i have notes to go back and refer to about truck types, load boards/brokers, setting up llc, tax structure, hiring drivers, full vs partial loads, etc. I highly recommend this consultation for anyone looking to get into trucking. And thank you for putting out all this information. We appreciate you
David, have not heard from you in a while. Keep posting! I trust all is well with you and the company. God bless!
Thank you. Yes I'm well. Learning the business end of trucking. Things are coming together thank God.
Lol. I'm thinking u where talking to me. Take care.
Dawud WOO 215 Christopher 😂😂
I haven't heard from him since his International exploded. There were so many debates about the international brand of trucks being defective and he just ignored it like "that's not my experience". Them shits blew up man...like exploded and caught fire. Havent heard from him since. I really liked his information and break downs and really miss his content. I hope he can bounce back and hopefully go with a different brand of trucks. That max force is not it!
@@divinestrength1774 international exploded ?
Just did a consultation with David ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. David was amazing and was by far the most informative and helpful in this business. I really appreciate the time he took to break down and explain things. He answered all my questions. I left the call feeling like I'm on my way to greatness! Thank you! Everyone watch his videos! Take notes! Trust me I followed his blueprint and made it happen!
Learning this because I was watching a new truck driver vlog his first couple of weeks and I saw how much he struggled
That's a good start, now apply that to a map and show us how to plan which truck stop to end our day at, account for a 10hr reset and show us how to apply the rest of the distance to a map to figure out where we're going.
Hello, MR David McGill: Your tutorials are always filled with essential information and tips. Trip Planning = Financial Planning; Late = Loss of Earning. Thank you!
Good to see a young black man gettin legal money. Keep it up big bro.
Had a consultation call scheduled with Dave today. I was apprehensive at first. Wasn’t sure if I would actually get a call back. Not only was I called on time, but it was pleasantly surprised to get a call from Dave himself. The call was super informative and I left the conversation seeing my goals with a lot more clarity thanks to Dave. Please keep doing your thing sir !
Throw traffic in there depending on what part of the country you may be in I’d say 50 miles an hr
Exactly! Plus the 30 minute break mandated by the elog.
Damn this a whole math tutorial for me but I’m not mad 😂😂😂😂 Have to learn it.
Thank you Mr David for the consolation and helping to get me in the right direction for my new trucking business. Definitely worth the money paid.
Just did a consult with David for our trucking mastermind group at the end of June. It was AMAZING! Highly recommend it!
I just subscribed to you. This is amazing how you helping people with good information. I am currently in the military and i am thinking about getting out. I always talked to my cousins about starting a family trucking business. My cousins are truck drivers now. We really serious about starting a business. Your videos are truly helpful on how to get started. I truly appreciate you! Keep grinding🔥🔥
Great video! I used to drive for Steven's Transport. They did all their calculations at 50 mph.
I am glad you fixed the mistake. I was like dude. How do you go by 9.16 to 8.16hrs. I was about to call my mom because she knows math more than me hahaha
Hey David. Thanks so much for speaking with our Mastermind. It was extremely informative as you answered all our questions and then some. I look forward to booking a consult call in the near future.
Thank you, David, I was able to learn everything from your channel all the details, however, after our call, I was able to go to the points I had missed and we covered of course them. For everyone looking for consulting is worth it, just do research on your missing points so David will help out real quick.Thank you :)
Had a consultation with David, He is an excellent resource for anyone starting or running a trucking business.
Just had my first consultation with David it was fantastic. David is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and open to discuss whatever questions you might have. The consultation was well worth the money. David answered my questions honestly and he was very candid when discussing some of the ins and outs of the business. I’m planning to schedule more time with him as I work through this process of starting my trucking company. I highly recommend that you reach out to him if you’re looking to start or grow your company.
Just finished my 1 hour 1 on 1 with D McGill. I don’t care if your competence is high or low in regards to the trucking industry! I highly recommended you schedule yours today you will find his approach to be supportive as well as directive which in my opinion are both ingredients for the recipe for success! “ Measure twice cutt once”
David, thanks for the consultation call on today. You helped me out on some things I had questions about. I want hesitate to do it again if I have any other questions for you. Thanks again bro! 💯
Hey David, thank you for sending me in the right direction and sharing your knowledge with me. You answered a lot of questions I was struggling with and tightened me up. I appreciate it.
God bless!!
You booked a consult with him?
@@ToLiveAndDieInMyJs yea brotha, good dude very informative... knows the ins and outs.. lol he had me write a check list..
cmb.22 lee bet, i was just checking because I’ve been meaning to schedule but he’s been inactive so I didn’t know if he wasn’t available
Ur mind is great! When i wasxin business for myself i always used 52mph/hr for my calculation
Hey Mr McGill I just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos you have really given me some things to think about and because of u ive finally decided that in the coming 2 years I'm gonna start prepping to become an owner operator of my own and I hope to one day have my own fleet
The best tutorial I have seen. Can you add a couple of additional trip scenarios to include 11 and 14 hour rules, time zone changes? Also, how do you figure out WHERE you will take your breaks and resets. Thank you kindly. Randall-Atlanta
Just finished my 1 hour consultation with David. It was very informative and I learned a lot. Thank you so much for the opportunity to speak with you and for using your platform to educate and spread your knowledge about the trucking industry. I am super excited about getting started as an Owner! You're super down to earth and I truly enjoyed the conversation. Thanks David! I will be up and running by December 2020!!!
Good video. The only thing you forgot to factor in was traveling thru the time zones.
Would you suggest starting a trucking company using a small business loan up to 150k with zero fees with the average apr 2.5 - 3.7 ? Via sba 7a
I would also be interested in bringing you onboard for counseling, taxes and accounting
Yo Dave where you at? I hope everything is alright with you.
this is the part of when all the plans or big talk become small talk.. nobody was prepared but had all the right answers..
Tax season is almost over. Looking forward to dropping more videos. Thanks for reaching out @David Johnson
@FLYPAPERISH not sure I understand your comment
@@TruckingFromScratch what's a good contact for you, I'm ordering your course... just wanted your input and opions on getting my own authority, I have a truck currently running under someone else's authority, but I think I would see a significant profit increase under my own authority to enable me to purchase another truck
Hey David thank you for your business consultation it was very informative for starting my trucking company.keep up the good work 👍
Awesome brother great video
Had a consult with David. Definitely underpriced right now in my opinion. If you're serious about starting a trucking company I'd definitely recommend making a list of all your questions and scheduling a call. 💯
I use to look up the traveling distance and time on Google. Then I look at the time is supposed to be delivered. Then I add an additional 1hour and 30mins to buffer time. For instance, let’s say I have to deliver a load that is 878.1 miles and it takes 12 hours and 10 minutes of travel time. Let’s say the load has to be delivered on Monday by 3pm. I calculated the time zone I enter then leave an additional 1 to 2 hours of drive time. Then I add maybe an additional hour for stops and breaks. So I started traveling 3 to 4 hours earlier than needed. Do you think this is a good method or should I punch in numbers as you just described in the video.
Great video bruh🎉👍💯
I just discovered your channel. I watched the IFTA video and I subscribed I like your channel.😄 helpful information!
Great information. Thank you for this video.🙋🏾♂️👍
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative. I myself have just started my Dispatching company and was a little confused on how to plan trips. Thanks for sharing this. I definitely am a new Subbie that will be waiting for your uploads
In California I always do my trip planning at 50 miles an hour.
Awesome! Thank you
Good video man
Thank you !! You made this so simple.
good wisdom!
Hi David. How are you doing? Hope you're staying healthy. Haven't seen a video in awhile. How is your trucking business doing? Stay safe and stay blessed!
OMG Thank You!!!!
David can you do a video on how to make a carrier packet to send out to brokers when needed? what needs to be included. thank you.
They will tell you what to send. Usually insurance and their application
Dave! It’s been a while since you posted buddy, I hope all is well with you man. Your videos are awesome! 🤝
How do you account for loading and uploading times? Especially if you're hauling loads with different delivery points?
HEY DAVID, Can you PLEASE make a DETAILED video on PERSONAL CONVEYANCE!!!!
Great info
Is it possible to work a 9 to 5 job and build a trucking company?
As always a very informative Video!!💯 Great trip planning!!
Hey David, where ya at?
Hi, I have been watching your videos for some days now and I am looking into buying a truck. What do you think of 2015 Volvo with 7000K Miles? Is there things that Freightliner can haul that a Volvo cannot. I heard of steering differences but not hauling power differences. Please help a rookie make a choice on truck. Budget is about 35K
David I’m about to get my own Authority but I’m not good with papers do u guys have program for IFTA and audit and others stuff? If yes how much u charge? Thank you David
Ok,Cool

I have so many questions I just wanna know if you give direct contact advice like on phone calls

I work at RTS with trucking companies on their fuel card and factoring needs. I want to talk to you about our agent program for drivers with their own youtube channels. Please e-mail me at abuls@rtscarrierservices.com or call me 913-521-6800.
Great Video!
3.72 = 4hrs 12min
There is 60min to one hour therefore 72min = 1hr and 12min so 3hrs + 1hr + 12min = 4hrs and 12mins small error. hope that helps
.72 doesn’t represent minute-minutes. It is decimal minutes; that’s why the conversion is needed. .50 of an hour is 30 mins (.50*60mins). So .72 of an hour is 43.2 mins (.72*60). I hope this made it clearer.
@@TruckingFromScratch oh ok I got you thought it was adding time lol
How do you take this info and determine where you can stop for your 10-hr so, you can plan ahead to find a place to sleep for the night?
Hey family, I'm just writing because I have not heard from you in a while. You were instrumental in encouraging me to start my own trucking business but you have disappeared. I hope that all is well with you. How is the business going Are you still in trucking?

Hey David. Would you still suggest a day cab as a first truck? drop and hook looks like the easiest thing.

Where are you? We are missing you and your wealth of knowledge? Please hurry back!!!
Dave i have question for you and I dont have much time
How can you become a freight broker
HEY DAVID I SAW IN ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS YOU SAID THAT YOU SET UP DRIVERS WITH THEIR AUTHORITY...I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CHARGE...LOOKING TO START MY AUTHORITY DECEMBER 1,2020...
This calculation I and many other the driver have trouble to keep up. Because it was between the brokers and the clients they make deal rather than from the driver handle the late night transport and season and time different. And also how much weight in the truck. For move up hill and how Lengthy the up hill is. There is no such the 10% cushion for late it is working. Especially moving multiple lane for straight unsafe. While the right land for all driver outer lane to return to city or get ready return to the cities along the interstate and the right lane also the releasing traffic for merging a lot from cities to the interstate Hwy. It is not work in peak hour and it is also not work at night time at visibility and hill road and winter time. Too guy make deal then too guy make the pick up and delivery. BS sign out
