Yes sir, luckily for me I was local! And yes, it ran me a couple of hundreds dollars but we must invest back into the business to continue on. Bless up Mr Geezer 🙌
Costly repairs will always throw a wrench in our plans but as you guys both said putting money back into our business is necessary. On my last trip up top from Texas my throttle body went out right at the Delaware Water Gap in PA. Luckily the mechanic I was able to limp to charged me fairly on labor and got me back on the road in two hours… Stay Safe Drivers Shout out both of you Tony and Gig Geezer
Always good information love your education that you teach. I have one queshouldn't when you have a subcontractor do you have to pay workers Compensation
Always appreciate the support brother! 🙌 you can, it’s is not required to have it. It’s good in case of a work injury. Nothing good training can avoid.
As you indicated, one needs no authority if they aren’t crossing state lines; But aren’t you moving from NJ into NY and then back into NJ with your early morning contract ??
Hey Tony, I had a DUI 3 years ago and had my license revoked. Now everything is good and I have my license back. Don't have any other problems or crimes, do you think that dispatchers will care about this if im trying to join a company as a contractor?
That’s the correct way to go about it. Understand your local market first. This might help, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uZnscpXtlwo.html Let me know if you have any questions brother! It’s a lot of opportunities here in jersey
You mentioned to find out if the carrier you decide to work with, will allow hiring another driver, Im a bit confused, I thought you didn’t need your own Authority as carrier to get work?
@Tony.Ruiz08 I know, but what confused me, is when you said if ,anyone planned on hiring a driver should check with the carrier first. Which carrier were you referring to?
Are you leased onto a carrier running under their Authority, then I understand what you meant by checking with the carrier first to see if they allow you to hire a driver. But is it necessary if you don't have your Authority or Dot to hire someone, you should only have to add the driver to your commercial insurance correct? Hope it makes sense on what I'm trying to say
Depends 50/50 on who you work with, although you can do everything else, establish the business, secure some work and hire a driver with a clean record 😉 just gotta do some research and play your way around it.
@@Tony.Ruiz08 thanks bro. I’d figured I can still do it I just know my insurance is gonna be a lot higher. Thank you for responding man, I’ve reached out to a lot of people on YT and you’re the only one to respond. Much respect bro
@@Tony.Ruiz08 great brother i’m on indeed but only see driver contracts no independent owner operator, what are the correct key words to put? would i need my dot number and llc
Bro you could be making so much more money if u just saved and got a semi or box truck and got authority and just retire yourself why do this little work for this much effort when u could do the big work and get more money
I had commercial with progressive. They were the cheapest I could get and that was over 1k a month. I know a few who pay about 900 a month. As he said, it varies from person to person and company to company.
@Tony.Ruiz08 Do you 1099 or w2 your employees, I plan on getting a California llc, could you give me some advice, just wanna make sure to do this correctly, also you mentioned to see if the companies that I get contracts or loads from allow me to have a driver, how should I find this out?
