Investing is a grand choice I made..

Bro, I FREAKING LOVE HOW YOUR TALKING TO US LIKE WE DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT THE BUSINESS. Far too often, people in the business make these videos as though they are speaking to other delivery drivers. Thank you for keeping it simple.

Dc area … made 160k this year driving box trucks. Money is out there . Keep pushing yall

Buying a box truck with a refer is a plus do to the fact you can cover restaurants as a contract driver. Your own company.

I Manage to obtain my Cdl at 21 years young , i learned alot over the pass 4 years . Now i have the mind set to own my own business starting with box trucks. And it was simple as finding your channel and taking it in as a class. it seems simple but im sure this will not be easy i want to appreciate you for uploading such knowledge. i encourage any one watching this to just pray and take a shot at it. ive watched this twice and took notes from phase 1 to 5 this is very educational THANK YOU GILL .... A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF SUCESS !!!!!!

I have been in logistics about 10 years and I must say this is as close to SPON ON that you can get. The numbers are close as he specified however understanding market rates, revenue and expenses can change. Outside of that STELLAR video fam! Just do you own due diligence on the specifics that weren’t mentioned avg cost per week for fuel, areas to avoid, the woes of dispatching and respective fees, factoring among things. Remember it’s in the details and be LOYAL to no team except on load by load base. This is an extremely demanding and cut throat job, career and or business. Despite it all set yourself for freedom not failure. NEVER be afraid to simply ask a question- if you short change yourself NOW you’ll do the same for the generations behind you. Selah!

Man this is the best video I've seen so far about getting everything ready, great job sir.

Thank Gil I learned so much from you. I'm just starting off and I'm so happy I ran across your videos Geraldine

Nice video. Keep it up Gill.Trucking is a great occupation which yields a lot of money but not everyone is lucky speaking from the other side if you understand, I was into trucking about 6 years ago and as at then I worked for FedEx before I went on driving trucks for companies which I was taken advantage of until I became so fed up and made up my mind of being an entrepreneur of my own and decided to hire and highly skilled and licensed grant writer and editor to help me through my application on government grants and I was awarded $500k as a startup capital and today I can proudly bold of owning my own truck company in which I make over 37k a month as my profit and now I'm in the process of starting up a daycare business for my wife and a salon for my sister. So therefore determination is a key to good living and erasing the mentality of being and underdog too helps a lot, knowing your worth also, I know not everyone is determined to be successful in life but my advice is for you to not be among the Unsuccessful ones.

Hey Bruh! You are the man. Thank you for being a stand up dude and sharing your knowledge. I definitely appreciate the time you took to make the video and the education you provided in it. So thank you

Best video on the net…I gained all the information I needed to get start and get to work.I will definitely take advantage of this video and put it to use…thanks a lot gill this is just what we needed.

the best video I ever seen on RU-vid regarding this business thank you so much

Dude you are 🔥! So many RU-vidrs out there trying to get money by taking their course. You didn’t have to do this but because you have, I appreciate you.

Thank you Gill22, very good video, I’m in the box business for about 3 years, broke but still standing. Having new equipment/truck,separation of business & personal accounts, money put aside/cash flow & website are the keys for your success. Guys take them seriously & thank you x 3 Gill 22 for your reminder & advice. Franck.

Liked and subbed. I have class A but I’m enjoying the box truck world a lot more. Currently a company driver but considering starting my own business in the next year. This video helped so much! Thank you!

Thanks for the tips bro you actually make it easier to learn respect bro

I just recently started driving box trucks for a company in my city, applied for warehouse position but ended up getting hired as a driver of a 26ft box truck with 0 experience,delivering industrial cleaning supplies to local schools nursing etc. I got threw into the fire after my second week of training and had to drive in a bad snow storm my 3rd week being out there. From that day I feel in love with the job because it gave me the confidence knowing I can do this job safe and efficiently no matter the circumstances. I’m 29 years old it’s going on 3 years since I started and I love my job they treat me well, but I’m searching for something more and 100 percent sure this is wat I want to do.

This is a phenomenal video, thanks Gill!

I was a driver for a small box truck company and I was all over the US … from NYC all the way to Cali loved it 😁

Best content on the internet!

I wished I saw this a year ago. I would have tried it without question. Now I'm trying to do Plumbing. But this is a great backup plan when I stop doing plumbing or if if the plumbing doesn't work out

Can you do a video on cargo/ sprinter van O/O? And do you plan on leasing on cargo van O/0?

Thank you. This was very educational and informative

Great information! Wishing you the best of luck.

I work for FedEx, I run my company, FedEx does NOT let you buy a route with one truck, you are NOW required to have at least 8 trucks to own any routes. Ignore his last piece of advice

Thank you for the clear understandable and to the point information., thank you for the training and helping us in making money. It's nice to know that there is a person out there who actually care about others. You are a God sent. Bless you, your life and your family.

Thank you so much for that helpful information i am at the crossroads to starting and it was so helpful stay Bless and be safe

Thanks dude for all the information!!I am about to start the journey...

A truck driving job can earn you a good living. There’s also lots of jobs out there in the industry, that aren’t worth having, I’ll give you that. But, if you really want to make it as a trucker, whether company driver or owner operator, YOU NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. I bought my first trucking after receiving $215k from Federal Grant for Trucking and Transportation business startup program in 2015. Today been an owner operator after taxes, fuel and licensing I profit $190,000 in the bank. My advice; Get your own authority and work open broker boards for trips. A good starting place as an o/o is to pull a reefer. Try to stay away from dry freight. There are too many green o/o’s in dry freight, and too many coming and going. The competition is fierce, so it is difficult to get high paying loads. Reefers pay more money. If you have some flatbed experience, you will get even better loads and better miles. I wish everyone reading this comment a successful business week.

Starting early is simply. The best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year’s experience, I was able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.

Most helpful video I have seen in awhile thank you brother

The video was amazing you presented and I will definitely follow your advice.

Hey I loved this video! It’s direct clear and has a great vibe. I’d love to see a video on getting loads on the load board and direct shippers

Nice video!! Investing in forex and cryptocurrencies is a great way to diversify your income and leverage the potential to achieve a substantial return on your investment.

great video! informative and straight to the point!!

This was super informative! Thank you !!

Thanks for taking the time and providing honest, fact- based information.

I have been following you for a while and I really appreciate your videos. Thanks to you and the grant writer I hired, My Truck business grant proposal request of $250,000 was approved on the 3rd of November and I have just received the funds in my account today.

This has been very informative I took alot of notes and now in the process of putting it all into action. Thank you bro

Hey man just wanted to say this is a great well made video. I owned a trucking company for about 10 years and you nailed some of the stuff people never think of. I also early on almost lost everything over maintenance cost because I did not have enough money set aside. Ive done everything from local pick up and delivery for air freight companies to last mile stuff for retail companies and expediting for mostly the automotive or manufacturing industry. Trucking is a great way to make an income and is a fairly easy business to start.

Hey Gill. My name is Donald. I just finished watching your video on how to start your truck business. I want to thank you for all the information you gave me it is very helpful to me and hopefully I will be as successful as you are. I do have a question. How do you get paid and from who? And how long does it take for you to get paid? Again thank you for this very insightful video.

So much value here, and for FREE!

Great info Gill, appreciate you Fam

Wow ! That was excellent! I just started my journey. I have my llc, ein and working on the dot/mc/ucr etc next. In my area I seen someone charge $1200 a week to rent a truck. I was so close to thinking of doing that but you made sense by saying to just finance my own truck. I will look into that also. I have navy federal. I will see what they say. Thank you again for being so informative sir. Instantly follow/subscribe

Thanks man for this educational video.

I liked the video, subbed and watched from start to end

Would it be a good idea to get a reefer box truck, so I could haul regular loads and food goods?

thank you very much for such an incredible information

This is what I was waiting for, good stuff man

Direct shipper loads please

Question* What type of LLC would be best to choose of when going for the dispatching/ box trucking business?

Thank u so much for this information I was looking for a video with these specific truck

Already subscribed. I hit the like button. You put out great videos!

How do you get direct shipper loads?

Very informative video Gill! LA viewer here. Been watching your videos for some time now. I'm currently 7 months into the owner/op venture, and recently purchased a vehicle as well as found a dedicated lane lasting a year roughly a month and a half ago via broker for DDU. Also never knew FedEx routes existed! Sounds like a definite future investment that could pay off. I'd imagine that's an expense for owner/ops with a small fleet though, right? How many trucks would you recommend when starting this? I'd imagine them to be 26ft as well, right?

I did what you asked because you giving me value and I want to add value to you❤

Thank u we are saving and getting our credit ready 🙌 been our dream for a while so tired of working so hard for another person's company.

Olá, achei muito interessante suas explicações, embora estando no Brasil, consigo ver muita coisa que podemos aplicar por aqui. Parabéns, pelo conteúdo excelente.

Hi Gill, do shippers require experience before engaging with new business entities? I have a registered LLC transitioning from a company driver. Kindly advise

Thank you for the FREE KNOWLEDGE

Thanks Soo much for the information. God bless you more 🙏🏽

People like you restore my faith in humanity, cheers brother!

Very informative video. I subscribed to your channel because of it. 👍🏾

Do you still need all the permits (mc and dot) if you’re renting or leasing a truck?

This is a little off topic, but is it always best to start with the van/truck that you can pay for outright? Or is it worth financing/writing off a truck with a business loan? I feel starting small, like a ford e350 and doing local runs with low end things until I have enough to buy a larger van?

Very informative video keep it going man 💯🙏🏾

Thank you. This video is so helpful!!! I am starting one and am very nervous! I will be looking for more helpful videos!

Be careful Is not easy

The only l going to say is that you don't need 40% of what he said to be successful starting and the money that he's talking that you could make it could be gross but no net and that's the biggest failure on newbies that only see the gross like the 1.5M in fedex route but he didn't mention how many truck will be making that on my guess about 17 trucks
