Those cargo van rentals on Priceline are not 35 40 dollars they are over 100 a day as of right now maybe because it's summer moving traveling at its highest. The prices might come down during slow season.
What kind of insurance do you carry? Like whats the limits..most companies are asking for 1mil split and 100k cargo.. making insurance like 4500down and 1500/month.
Man Ezer is shutting down. But click this link and sign up for opportunities within my company. I’m rolling out a national tire contract and need independent contractors in different markets
Dope bro! Yeah I feel you on that. I wasn’t really feeling the expediting business with how rates are and being OTR so much. Building local and creating relationships with local businesses is just as lucrative, if not more with the right business mindset.
Signed up for this 'goshare'. Denied because my rig is "too old". The irony is, my 79 is built newer than 2016. ;) Also, they think they can trademark "Your friend with a truck" (they can't), but that literally would/is me. It's a CA website though......
Thanks for the vids. Informative. I have a question and would appreciate your opinion (or any of you fine folks out there!) Looking at Sprinter vans for this purpose. The common 140" wheelbase or the 158" wheelbase (170" is too large for me to own/park right now) In your experience would the 140" wb serve well enough or would a little more space for cargo be a benefit? Would the 158" provide more opportunities for larger hauls to make more $$? Both are high ceiling and same vans except for the length. Thanks and Merry Christmas!!
I don't have all the answers sway, but my personal advice. I would save a lil money for that first week he mentioned. Prob 1k or so. Then get whatever the biggest option you're considering, because better to have more space than not enough. Then if I felt like I needed to downgrade I always have that option and will save money. 👍🏾🧠
@@jonmaclin8344 thanks. I found a 2006 t1n 158" wheelbase. And agree fully with your comment. Mine was used to transport wheelchair-bound people and is more passenger/windows than cargo. I'm happy I waited to find a more liveable van that I can also use to make a little $$ delivering packages.
Thanks I appreciate it! I heard that if you do mileage the first year you can then do actual expenses the following and keep switching. I will be filling last years taxes with miles so I’m gonna figure it out soon. I was doing contract work with FedEx before I started doing it this way
@@JourneyWithCameron I believe you can switch from doing standard mileage to actual expenses but then I don't think you're able to go back. It depends on how long you're planning on keeping the van. The longer you plan on keeping it the more of the standard mileage tends to make sense. A lot of people have used the deduction where you expense the entire van in the first year but then in the next year you don't have that expense. You also have something called re-capture or if you go to sell the van that sale can be seen as income so definitely talk to your accountant
@@outstate9218 oh yeah that all makes sense for sure. Definitely will be speaking to my accountant about all of this so I can make the IRS happy lol thanks for taking your time to discuss your experience and understanding of it all. Super appreciated! 🙏
What sized van would you recommend to someone coming into the business? 1500, 2500, 3500? I'd like to buy a Promaster with the dual purpose in mind to run my handyman service out of it while I am not running shipments. I'd probably stick with local trips within my state and make runs when my jobs get slow, but I also don't want to limit myself to a smaller van if there's more gain to be had from purchasing a larger model... The Promaster 1500-3500 doesn't have much variance between total payload (maybe 600lbs) and towing capacity (1500 can tow the most). You maybe get a little more length out of the 2500/3500. Also, is the height of the cargo area a significant factor in this? What is the most important factors in choosing a van? Which model will I stand to profit the most from? Any feedback would be mucho appreciated my dude. Thx for posting your knowledge!
Man i am really getting desperate trying to figure out on how to get loads from, I'm trying to help out my sister in this business. She has around 7 cargo vans and box trucks here in dallas she has been working with a company here package delivery but she's wanting to get work elsewhere.
All depends on budget ect. I recommend atleast a medium roof or high roof. Could be Transit, ProMaster or even the Mercedes. The bigger you get and the more payload, the more you can load. So hence bigger budget allows for a better van and the ability to do more. Some are long enough for 3 pallets. Mine can only do 2 and my payload is under 3k
Yeah well I grossed over $ 4,000 in a week but ask me how much I brought home! U can Gross a million dollars it dont matter what matters is whats left in your pocket. I was leasing a Sprinter van through a company which i wont mention. Get ready to have 2/3 rds of your gross taken away! 1( Van rent 2) cargo insurance 3) self insurance (you the driver) 4) Fuel- You must pay for that also. 5) Escrow- $100 every check. I took home barely $800! U can make that sitting in an office and being home eceryday with your family. You be the judge if its worth it for you theres alot of companys out there that dont like to pay up after u make your drop.
What kind of insurance & insurance company do I need? Do I need commercial with running local & should I make a LLC? Do you have your business name on your van? Thanks
My dude!!! That’s what’s up bro thanks for the subscribe. Hope you find a ton of inspiration and knowledge here that can be applied in your life! Stay blessed g
Great video. I have a CDL-A. And have been driving an 18 wheeler for a couple of years. I want to get into the expediting cargo van business. Does having a CDL-A license give me an advantage in this business?
Where do you hire helpers from and how do you know if you'll need them or not beforehand when you're just going by app gigs as they roll in? And I heard Go Share turns down a lot of drivers because they're ultra-strict when it comes to the types of cars they approve to be used for their gigs.
Fuck yeah bro I love hearing that! I heard Florida has a good market with GoShare and some of these other apps. I’m sure you’ll do well if you go local or OTR type work coming from out there
Great video! Is there a way to only do local cargo van work? I’m looking at it & have a big van, but it needs work before I could go all out, although it works pretty good for small big size moves around my area. Thanks
I would love to know how the business is now and how the business is going to be in 6 months the other question I have is did you buy the cargo straight cash?
@@bobdeanbags9087 I’m actually trying to buy my cargo van but I’ve been hearing there isn’t much profit but I’m willing to try it at my own risk but it would be helpful to listen to other people
I like to ask you a question. Do I need to be registered business owner if I like to work with those apps? Or I can be independent contractor like with a Uber. Thank you.
Hey man just found your videos out in AZ myself been doing medical courier jobs for a couple years now how do you recommend getting into a cargo van is there any good rentals or easy ways to get approved for one thanks for all the help!
yo not gonna lie im in the process for signing up and i saw you in the introduction video that they quiz you on. you said you made 1,900 your first week ? which one is it, i have a sprinter van that im looking to use and live in NY. am i really gonna see nice money doin this like you say or is it sus. be honest man
People please read this. Not hating at all either. The “gross” number is totally irrelevant and tells you nothing about the business. This is the number without any expenses deducted. The real number you need to focus on is the “net”. This is your actual cash flow or profit and is THE ONLY NUMBER that matters. Gross income, revenue, sales are all vanity metrics and tell you nothing about the success of the business. I NET $30-40k a month driving a box truck delivering high end furniture cross country. I only do it 3-4 months out of the year now. I used to focus on the gross revenue as well and I can tell you it’s totally irrelevant and is not where your focus should be. Cash flow is the name of the game and is the only thing you should be concerned with if you are trying to build wealth.
@@JourneyWithCameron 600 van pymt 400 car ins 100 helper and 502 gas =1602 - 2720.90 = 1118.9 if you split your fixed expenses weekly your net = 2245.9 am i missing something because the maths not mathing...
@@PGtv72 The amount he mentioned was what he made in a WEEK. Youre applying the full cost of monthly expenses to that amount. Your math is the one that isn't adding up. 150 van payment for a week, 100 for gas, 460 for gas for that week and he happened to pay is buddy $100 to help one time. Then you have to take out the cut for uncle sam, which we can't calculate because he will have writeoffs like Van payment, gas, maint, mileage. Lets just pretend he ends up paying around 20% in taxes after the write offs. His net ends up being $1528 for the week net profit.
