My name is Brandon. I am a sprinter van / cargo van expeditor. 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.
On this episode we find ourselves in California just south of San Francisco. Dispatch hit me up with a job going 784 miles to Arizona! See the sights of San Francisco Bay! The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the cool city streets and architecture. Hope you enjoy the glimpse I give of expediting around the country with my four legged partner my dog Bubba Jo!

@ExpeditingAmerica

Hard to do renting a Uhaul. They usually charge per mile and aren’t cheap. Also you have to have $1,000,000 liability $100k cargo insurance and an mc number. If you’re going to try it out try to find a carrier to drive for first. Or just buy a van and commit. No special license needed btw. Good luck man thank you for watching.

In California, it's not the gas prices, it's the taxes.
@ExpeditingAmerica
@ExpeditingAmerica Год назад
Yes that’s true. But when we pay for gas it’s the gas price with all that fun tax stuff wrapped into it. So whoever controls the taxes controls the price so I guess that’s who I was speaking to. I wonder where that money goes cuz the roads and infrastructure stink there.

How many miles on this van, is it gas or diesel if so what's your mpg and mileage on this van. Thinking of getting diesel maybe gas. BTW what's your thoughts on 170 vs 170 extended based on loads do you often get 4 pallets

This van has 330k miles on it. I started driving it with 80k it’s diesel. I’m all about the 170 extended but imma get a regular 170 I think. That extra room comes in handy maybe 10% of the time

Okay so I'm looking at what your payout is so you get 65%... And your fleet owner gets 35% ? I don't know dude it just seems like 297 is not a whole lot of money for 754 mi...... What are the advantages for you driving for a fleet owner. I'm just curious man I've been doing this 25 years and of course I have my own little company with my own authority. So if you don't mind me asking you how much do you average a week in your pocket after gas and the 35% cut that the van owner or fleet owner takes ?
@ExpeditingAmerica
@ExpeditingAmerica Год назад
It’s a stepping stone bro. Never knew bout this business til I joined on with them. They have been more than fair. Industry standard is 60/40 split and when gas goes up they increase my %. Advantage to driving for someone. Learn the business and see if it’s something you want to do and can handle on someone else’s dime. Getting ahead using opportunity. This is not forever my friend. I’m also able to share my journey with others interested on getting in but don’t have the money for van and insurance up fronts Thanks for watching and great questions man

Unfair? I don’t pay for van or insurance load board fees mc number. I’m essentially renting the van for 35% of the load. Industry standard split is 60/40 mines 65/35. With that said I average $1200-1500 up to $2k on a great week net. And I don’t even own the van. With that said it’s all perception. Might not be a lot to you but I never averaged $300 a day. I’m very appreciative and also agreed and sign the contract full aware of the terms. So I feel it’s more than fair.
