      That’s awesome! I’m happy for you. With a cargo van you have the option to get local contracts as myself, go OTR (over the road) that’s when you take loads to further states. Or you can do gig apps. Gig apps can be used as part time since you only work when you turn them on. Understand your local demand for this type of business and do some research before starting something. You wanna make sure the demand for this type of business is there!

      Sorry to hear that brother. It all depends on what you want to do. You can do local contracts as myself. Work from apps or go OTR (over the road) that’s when you take loads far away into other states. Since I’m a father I went the local route so do your research and figure out which one you wanna do. If it’s apps, download and sign up for them and start taking loads and making money. If you want contracts, check out the demand in your area as well as the requirements. Indeed is a great place for it. I have a video on how to find local work in your area as well if you’re interested to watch it and get more insight.
