You was just starting out. You're doing well now. 5 trucks in 13 months, that's awesome. Thank God for what you have now!
I have 6 trucks but I don't have freight to move on good rate
assalamwailekum zahid bhai how r u i am a freight broker
@@zahidkarim8028 where are you from?
Dave your video truly impacted my life and our business. Had i not heard this video i would not have the business with direct shippers today. My insurance tripled but so did the revnue. Part of the reason is because we are such a new trucking company. But each year the insurance cost will decrease thus increasing profits. Thank you for being transparent.
How did you go about finding those direct shippers. I'm a new venture right now trying to find work, but insurance is killing me.
Same question bro did you get the answer?
David's 1 on 1 consultation was very informative. He gave me answers to all my questions I had concerning this trucking business which I believe many others won't reveal those strategies to anyone. Thanks alot David I truly appreciate you 🙏
9 months in on trucking. COVID killed my chauffeur job. Went to major trucking company, 3 more months until they pay off the loan. Started working as a trainer after 7 months. Seeing the opportunities for owning your own truck. So I will follow your content. My next move will be my own authority. My friend was getting his authority, in California, but insurance quote was $40,000 a year as he only had 9 months experience. He ended up going to Utah and got insurance for $18,000. I am also keeping up with him and continuing to learn.
You did the right thing. The opportunity will come up again. Prayer always helps to be sound in those decisions too. 😊

Hello, is there a way to speak with you directly? I am willing to pay.
prays to your business and mine also. i will go to your website
Your story is going to help me to overcome some of my fears that I had. Thanks!
Inspiration video. It’s just a lesson for next time. You won’t miss the next opportunity like that... keep Evovling brother
Good advice David!!.MS showing love...Your Consultation Meeting was right on!!!...I would advise anyone to consult with him!!..he speaks facts.
Man this guy got his Content so well put together! Thanks bro!
I'm just getting all the info I need before I start that's some good insight keep up the super work
I am really gaining a lot of insight from you, as I am planning on starting my own trucking business. Thanks for the info.
Don’t even trip my Brotha. The sky is the limit 💫💫💼
Hindsight is 20/20. Of course now you look at it as a missed opportunity because you hear how good it is to haul freight for that company. At the time, you were new to trucking, probably didnt have the cash flow to deal with the cost ofninsurance, and if ANYTHING would have gone wrong that soured the relationship, you might have put yourself in a serious bind. I think you made the right choice. You are doing well regardless, so I would say you should have no regrets. Thanks for all the great information.
David, the information that you provided is priceless. In my heart I know that you are genuine. With that said, I will take heed to your suggestions and network with those within my circle to start business oppurtunities with their contacts. Thank you and keep up the good work!!
Don't beat yourself up too much. High overhead can put a new business out of business very quickly. Took the safe route and you're still in business today. that said, when an opportunity falls in your lap should always take it! Wind falls don't come often.
Brother, I understand. I am in a different field entirely, but I have had on 2 separate occasions, have had existing relationships lead me to the opportunity of a lifetime......world travel, high pay, time off, and beautiful experiences.....I choked both times, and I carry those experiences with me as a teacher, now I am all about professional risk
we appreciate this advice, I believe that's what holds a lot of us if not most back
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I was hoping you can help me. What we need to have ready to pass a DOT audit on your own trucking company.
Hey Johnny here and I just finished my consulting call with David McGill. It was well worth the what paid for the information that was received. So If you have any questions about the Trucking business I recommend that you don't hesitate to book that hour consultation with David. You will not be disappointed .
Man you are a genuine good person which is rare! Thanks for your insight and knowledge I am truly grateful!
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.
Who bro, Thanks so much. Love your heart felt true real life story's. This has help me so much. I use to drive as a company driver. Now I'm trying to get back into the business as a owner operator/ fright broker. I got out the business to do other things and career choices. But now i'm coming back.
Great lessons man. Your willingness to be so forthcoming is certainly appreciated! 🙏
10 million is insane!!
Not when the shipper paying 3 times the amount the Broker pays
Hey David, contact the new logistics manager and tell them your story; maybe you can start building, kind of, a relarionship with these people and, who knows bro. You have a good reputation, so, why not man?
I know this video is focused on tapping into our "spheres of influence" but my take away, as we set out to create our own brokering firm, is not to let fear control us and our decisions. I am sure each of us have stories from our own lives that we can plainly see, in hindsight, how fear dominated our decision making process and we failed to prosper because of it. Thanks for being vulnerable and reminding me how important it is to fee the fear and DO IT ANYWAY!!!!
Your videos are definitely helpful and thanks for the help, me and my best friend are thinking of starting a trucking company and i just start watching one of your videos and they are so simple and helpful
I appreciate you for this testimony man. I'm going to reach out to my social network now
Thanks for advice, I do have alot of manager friends!!
opportunity of growth in business=taking chances....im glad your doing well now bruh!!!!

The Gospel of John, when you're ready. 🔥
i appreciate you Mcgill. A bunch of ur videos have given me mad insight, as i am getting my truck next week n starting out as owner op/ and gonna evolve into freigh broker as well. God bless u bro
I know this is 2 years old but it is still relevant. Thanks David. Great information.
Exactly
I needed to hear this. Great video, thank you.
Good video and solid advice, David. As they say, hindsight is 20/20. But, it sounds like a valuable lesson was learned.
Sir, it is obvious that you are very smart. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
U will always be blessed ..... I love people like u....
I like to see growth... nice upgrade from that other car that was knocking! Shine KING!
Thanks bro, you're always an awesome inspiration, everytime I watch you, I always learn something new,I would love to work with you, even now
Same here!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the world, sure it will help many people not to overthink when a good opportunity comes up. Very good content, keep it up.
I would have made the same decision given the state of your company at the time. Cash flow is everything.
I gave this video a thumbs up and I am not even in the trucking business!!
Thank you for your Sacrifice Bro, we appreciate it you made it better for us to understand and not make the same mistake...!!!
Love watching your videos. We learn so much. Thanks for sharing your stories with us too.
thanks a lot for your information. English is no my native language , but I watched your video twice to understand better. Congrats
A lot of people don't know that that's where the gold is. build your fleet up. Manage profits to wear you can grow smoothly and keep drivers happy. Build credit so when someone comes with an offer worth taking you can put the clamps on it that's where the pot of gold lies.
At the same time, that new logistics manager could have cut you loose and you could have over invested with the thought that the old manager was going to keep giving you loads. So like you said...everything happens for a reason.
I’m here in Indy as well.
Thanks for the info bro... May God bless you and your company.
I appretiate your transparency brother.
Thanks for sharing that! I believe that The Most High will bless you for it!
Hello David, I have 24 trucks I mainly haul freights from germany to france. Do you think it's worth ir to start knocking out brokers and start searching for Your own freight directly from The customer?
Tryna get a meeting with logistics manager for BJ’s logistics now. Been pulling their trailers for 2 years now
Nothing but good things to say about you from watching your videos ,will be reaching out to you later
my eyes teared up for your lost; trust I know that fear, and I'm fighting to keep it far from me. Just started my second company in trucking after being afread to do so for over 15yrs............
I have 2 trucks and im thinking on getting authority for one. Want to get back into it. A lil nervous
Hey David! Please help! Can you give some examples of the target market and the trucking industry for a start-up business plan?
Motivated 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 thanks for the push!
Great story.
Hope all is well
Very good story and lesson. Thanks
Another golden nugget, thanks again
Your good man, jb hunt would of undercut you! 🤣 great advise my brother.
More Great info man looking fwd to working with you
Wow good story great example . I have made these mistakes in life too. I need help trying to find box truck loads in Georgia for intrastate only. Do you have any ideas to help me?
Hi David. Thank you for this informative video. We are a carrier based out of Indianapolis as well running LTL on a 26 Ft straight truck. Could we email you directly regarding networking with local shippers here in Indianapolis? We thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask and your videos are very motivating. Thanks again for dropping these gems. 💎
You need a podcast my dude.
Whats the best way for a business owner who needs a full load brought from LA to Miami to find someone dependable and reasonable?
Great lesson,thanks for sharing.
Bro you know more then anyone business is all about relationships, so even though that other guy is retired or in a different state, why not reach out to him and have him put in a good word for you with the new management. If he was willing to work with you and they trust his previous work within the company, maybe what opportunity is still there.
You are great bro...You are helping out alot. Thank you!
You have to make it "Be".Great info
Many customers have high requirements and low pay. Always get the financial picture first then the decisions are made before dedication of the time and money
Man that suck I would have ask for number on the frieght and contrasted it against my over head adding and subtract is all it takes when you kno the number it removes alot of fears
Got my truck, but it needs work. I have my CdL's. I work for a company, but I want to put a driver in my truck.
Taking a wild guess he is talking about Costco
You do box trucks or semi trucks
Very good info young brother.
U great guy Dave keep it up. U really of great help to me. Thumbs up
Great video. I have a CDL-A and current medical card with hazmat and tanker endorsments. I 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?
I think you’re talking about target.
Great content bro! I Will remember this.
Been trying this start up Asking what insurance are you going through just for options thanks
Just started my own box truck company about 45 from Indy, would love a mentor
Are you looking for a dispatcher?
Hi David thank you for dropping so much knowledge! The link for the trucking blueprint is not working, and I would like to purchase it. Please kindly fix it. Thank you !
Just ran into this. Great info.
What are some good shippers?
Hey David, love your videos man! I watched a few so far - im looking to hire a truck driver to run freight for me within 150 miles. Do you have any resources that could help me find young drivers who can work on contract?
Are you still looking for a drivers
What’s meant to be is what you’re prepared for or not, either way, that’s what’s meant for you.
I’m OTR and going on 5 years 53’ dry van, seriously looking into stepping up as owner operator, I’m researching lease option only because I don’t have the clout,financial pocket to just buy a truck myself. But I’m optimistic, so knowledge in keep researching can always uncover something positive is how I see it.
Very informative video you just put out and open honest sincerity of your personal experience wow (very impressive).
Thank you.
Don’t do lease purchase. It’s a scam. You will never own that truck. They will terminate contract right before it ends.
We are hiring. Otr dry van. Pay salary. 2000$ week
@@joshuaburns1772 it’s best to let people find out. Not all lease is scam.
@@joshuaburns1772thanks for the advice 👍I’m looking into rent to own
@@joshuaburns1772I’m getting 65 cents at present. I’m pushing for 88 cents with my present employer, I run 2 to 3 months out before coming home. Told my boss my intent of becoming owner operator truck and trailer. New Year around the corner finally, around February/March I’ll start making contact with a list of potential outfits who will give truck and trailer rental (no locked commitments,other than me pay as I run) building shipping direct client or clients in locking in a good steady run. My boss and I have good rapport with each other. My steps are strictly business oriented.
Transparency is best between two.
What company was it
Thank you, very helpful.
Nice Jag 👍
What God has for YOU is for YOU. Great advice.
David I love your videos very explanatory. I don’t get difference between bobtail insurance, truck insurance and trail insurance. Is it a all package deal or do I purchase them separately. What if I use someone else’s trailer like Amazon . How can I put insurance on a trailer , cargo ?
Lesson learn yet similar situation with Fed Ex use to drive for them on the International Crew. Nevertheless we handle all cargo from the airport I was working the San Francisco International Airport and relocated to Sacramento but the Fed Ex crew wasn't the same and stop because of money issues with Fed Ex and employee. However became a independent truck driver. I spent like 2 years with Fed Ex , Amazon and Ontrac yet practice independent contractor for different companies when a contract is sign. A lot of companies have internal affair problems so I don't trust the contract and usually companies cancel the job. Equally important I drive and run my own service and business. I drive a 28 feet truck holding 26,000 pounds or less Class C driver ......
I also review their court cases from time to time as a independent truck company and driver. Equally important have a legal education from law school and a college degree....
Great video!
Do you have experience or insight with the box truck? And who was the company?
Mr. McGill were they going to pay you buy weekly or monthly?
Thank you for the Information.
