Sprinter van business NON CDL otr driver Episode 33 “Round trip”

I drive a 2020 Mercedes Benz sprinter van 2500 170 extended with a high roof for a small mom and pop logistics company. I bring my dog Bubba Jo with me and we hit the road for 4+ weeks at a time. Everyday my dispatcher goes on load boards and bids on jobs. I’m always hauling something different for a random company to a random location that can be right down the road or clear across the United States of America! I average 3-5k miles a week and don’t need a CDL license to drive.
Today I am hauling a turbine engine that needs a service job 746 miles away in Enfield CT. I’m going to wait there aka “sleep” 6-8 hours then pick up the refurbished turbine engine and haul it 746 miles back to Hillsboro, OH.

Got any load for long weekend,or stuck in Ohio? I stuck at CAN/US border waiting on manifest , at least got some sleep lol. Thanks for the idea of gym membership,will certainly do that , mostly because the shower thing lol,been collecting Pilot points for gas so far for showers , but many times Pilot not near when need gas :)) Also I am just asking ,not saying that I am right or it's supposed to be like that , I noticed that you leave the skid at rear , when I have 1 pallet or skid,I ask to push all the way up to my bed ,so that way the weight is not only on rear axle , and it's distributed more evenly,just my opinion , just trying to see other opinions as well. Thanks for video, keep them coming ❤️

Nope you def do it right if you have them push it up towards the front. To me anything under 600 lbs isn’t that big of a load and lately I haven’t really felt a difference in handling. The size of that box was deceiving tho. Lol and yessir planet fitness is smart. Even if you don’t work out to work out it’s good to stretch and walk the treadmill. Thanks for watching and showing love. I’ve been stuck here in Connecticut since Saturday. I pray to the heavens I can get a load tomorrow for a factory or something. Slim chance tho

I will however answer any question you ask in the comments and it will help others with the same kind of questions. If you still want a consultation email me. But I’m not cheap lol other wise just ask away here. I’m sure others have similar questions. I think with hazmat and the endorsements you can make some better money on certain loads. And a van is way cheaper than a semi cost and maintenance wise. Also just a better way of life.

You apply like any company but most carriers have long lists of people so it’s going to take a lot of time and patience. You also need a 1million/100k insurance policy. Do your research because people always ask me to point them in the right direction but everyone has a different experience with every carrier so I don’t do that anymore. Tired of people coming back and saying it was a bad company. A lot of people try a couple carriers before they find one they like.
