A Little Setback in my Cargo Van Business 

I just got my van 2 weeks ago. I was quoted by Progressive $971 for the $1m coverage. I decided not to move forward with it as well. I’m not comfortable having that additional expense either when I have no contracts or dispatchers secured. And the industry is down right now from what I’m hearing from others in the industry. Keep pushing brother! I’m gonna stick with the gig apps, misc work and side hustles I can get going in the meantime.

I watched all your videos. I love what you have been doing. I have been in truck driving, and know alot of owner operators. They suggest to let your MC number to mature 6 months before jumping on load boards. If you have 6 months down, more brokers will mess with you. I would suggest to keep doing what you are doing for the 6 month period. It sucks to put out the extra money, but you would be able to jump on boards. Just keep running like you are in the mean time. I wish you the best.

Appreciate the content CJ. I’m in Houston. I started watching you a few days ago. You really gave me that last push of confidence Right before I purchased my van yesterday. Today was my first day and I had a $200 day. Keep inspiring 💯

Good video, thanks

Tell me you had dash cam, and if you don't let this be a lesson get on for your van. Get one that looks forward and eternal. The new update needs some more work.

Good to see you ain't greedy and whining about low pay when you are right 1200 a week is pretty good.

Well I am in the same situation , have my own authority be new in this business bought my van . And now be in contact with GoShare and do gig work . But you can make money what you doing . But like you video ,s keep it up brother.

Keep going my friend!!!!

Stay focus out there you’ll be fine

I’m wishing you a speedy recovery! 🙏🏽

I just got a quote for $1200 a month with 10years of Class A CDL experience and no claims in the past 20 years plus

Thanks!!

That’s a good rate. My policy was $27k a year or $2,250/month.

Keep up the hustle. Love the videos. I'll be getting my van in the next 30 days hopefully. Until then running gig apps in my car. 👍

Bro, you are good to get your bag. You don't have to explain to anyone what you need for your personal plan, keep doing you!

D*** my brother The cost to be your own boss....great video keep them coming

Thank you for the real talk bro… May God keep you moving forward. You remind me of myself. Never living under pressure. I control my bumps in the road. That insurance is so high that you would never be able to park your van. You would have to stay on go. Great decision … wait until the time is rught.

You also have to have the $100k cargo and $1 million commercial general liability.

Yes insurance is ridiculous

Awesome video! What kind of an advantage does having you own authority get you? Can you use load boards? I also have a CDL-A.

You got the like and Subscribe! great informative talk! I know its been 4 months, did you make any an update video regarding your MC?

Great content! Just started watching your videos myself a couple days ago. I'm also in the H! We're both in the same lane...I left my job to get back into transportation and be my own boss! Question? Where did you get your dash camera from and what kind? Thanks in advance 💪🏾💰

you can run on another company mc ,my friend who has a van is running loads over the road thru different company

U should try nationwide

Let them hate.. they watching you make money and do the damn thing.. 🤛🏿👍🏿

Keep'n it Real! Love watching your videos CJ. Everything's going to work out because you have the perfect attitude and humility needed. Keep up the good work!

Where did you get the walls from in the van?

That’s a great rate I’m paying 1500 a month rn

Also, I grew up in body work. Glad you are okay from the hit and run. I'll let you know, getting that fixed out of pocket would be cheaper, and you save yourself the strike on the insurance. If you are not that working about the scrapped up bumper, it doesn't look that bad to put it back on.... zip ties work great, and you can have a shop do a little sanding, and buffing on it to see what can come out. Might surprise you. They can probably do the buffing, and tie it up decently for like a few hundred bucks.

Hope goes well brother.. quick question.. what engine zise van you running?.. I. Looking to get. A ford transit just not sure about engine as 2cyl/4.. flexfuel/diesel ???. What would you recommend

How do you apply for dispatch app ? You only use that ? Is it good in Florida? Thanks

New most companies don't like to hire new Authorities no one is talking about that... So you might want to have 5k to 10k saved to pay for the million dollar insurance just in case you don't get loads for a few months. It takes 30 days for your new Authority to become active... It's something to think about for new people.....

U thought about getting contracts bro ?or medical carrier?

Are you a veteran?

Can i make more than $200 a day from gig apps in Texas?

Why do you need MC ?if you have a van ? 😮😮😮

Progressive charges for every little thing lol I just went back to my old insurance. They don't charge extra for any filings. Progressive tried to raise me by $1,000 a year for renewal for no fucking reason man. So I just told my insurance agent to put me back with my old insurance company I have unlimited mileage they don't charge any extra for any kind of filings. Progressive nickels and dimes people

big difference from running those baby loads of $37 or $50. lol. Spend $$ to make way better money,

Your van income should be supporting your expenses, shouldn't be using passive income.
