CARGO VAN BUSINESS IN 2023: Avoid These 5 Costly Mistakes in Your Cargo Van Business

I extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.

Would you consider renting a van first?

I’ve got only 2k in my bank account with no job, I wanna take an auto loan out at my bank, get a van and work with this courier where I get 70% of the earnings but constant work flow

bad experience so far, i just don't know if it's the fact that i am operating in canada, i was working for one company here in canada, i did deliver in USA and Canada, since they canceled my contract, i haven't found another carrier to work with, i have my van sitting for over a month now. if anyone know how i can start working independently in USA or in Canada, reach me out

How did you can get a US DOT and MC numbers without vehicle more than 10000 pounds and logbook?

I got my cargo van and jumped right in. I was lucky because I have a bunch of friends that are already doing it or driving trucks. My first week I made right at &2000. The next week I only got 1 trip. The next week I earned about $3000, but before I got paid. A deer❤ jumps out in front of me messes up my radiator. Mind you I’m all the way in Montana. I know nothing about here or nobody I was lucky enough that my van made it to the closest truck stop in a small town Belgrade. And wouldn’t you know every mechanic in town was booked. I got a load in the back just got through making a 25hr ride and got 5 more to go, so I got to get this fix. I can’t wait till the end of November like everybody was telling me. The earliest was the 10th of November. Yeah this just happened. So I got a dude in the next town which was an hour away and if anybody know about the area the snow is bad and since I can’t drive there I got to get towed. The cheapest I got was $600🤦🏽 and because it’s going to take so long to get there through the snow and all. It’s not going to get fixed that day so I had to stay over night and wait for the . So I had to get a room, get food and because I couldn’t drive or walk I had to catch a taxi. I ended up getting back on the road the next day, but my money so tight right now. The only move I can make is the next load until my money drops. So I seriously suggest everybody understand that it is detrimental that you have a lil cushion just incase something happens while you’re out there. The money can be made but it can go in an instant due to maintenance and unforeseen issues. Not to mention since I’ve been a month in the game. My van payment and insurance is due. And if you know anything about the west coast their gas prices are not friendly. And I haven’t even been back home to get my gas cards so everything is out of pocket. So , Yeah have that cushion to work with, or you gone be out here stick calling to get some ends. And it could get real discouraging, but if you hang in there and feel like this is something you really want to do. You can get it. It’s all in how you apply yourself.

You hit all the right points in under 6 min. Great content!

If your interested in running local only you really don't need a sprinter I have a 2017 Ford Transit connect and my local stops through Courier Express pays $240-320 a day 18-33 stops 1 case a piece 1 pound med box I'm done in 3-5 hours and you can run extras if your hungry lol I took 31 cases to 1 patient Total 3 hours there and back $250 on top I did buy my van straight out though so no payments for me. I love it another think to new ppl don't always settle for what they offer u it's ur vehicle I like to negotiate and it works😁

Great info .. Question is it better to rent a cargo first are buy when you are just starting your business?

Why don’t you just admit that is impossible to run this planet with so many cooperations, banks, insurances, taxes and other middle man imaginary jobs?

Hi,I live in Canada and am trying to get in the cargo van business ,can you help me

You don't just have to use your cargo van for just courier service. I used mine for other side hustles, like buying and reselling high-end furniture and appliances. I flip washer and dryer sets making $200 to $400 profit per set.

Cars and cribs dat nigga💯

What year should I buy my cargo van ?

My experience they lying but it’s money in it if you patient and get dedicated routes and learn how work apps and find hot locations

Can just a full size extended van work ok? No hitop.

In los angeles ca its worse less

Be willing and open to travel, know your worth and for God’s Sake please stop accepting cheap ass freight. Most apps are posting jobs paying Pennies on the dollar more and more lately because they know that many markets are over saturated. I will let my van stay parked before I accept a 500 plus mile load for $325. If it’s not paying over $1.75 per mile it’s not worth it. Stay Safe Drivers!!!

I am a cdl-a driver recently retired and want to try out the cargo van biz. What are minimum requirements if I start out by renting a van?

What sic code did u use for your business?

Cago baby life is not hard work.. stop with that.. all you do is ride around

Bro where you get 10,20k$ van from? Do not buy a 20k $ van unless its your back up. If you dont have personal work and you relying on apps be ready to see 300$ on your best 10 hour day. Take gas, maintenence and supplies out of that also. If you gonna go in allys and back of peoples business be ready for nails and constant patching and pluggin. Find some customers before you buy a van to live off apps if your gonna make it your primary source of income. And keep in mind you can sign up for all the apps you want but you likely not gonna capture jobs that are close to you at all or you will miss out on the good paying ones. Ride 30 mins to a 35$ job, 28 minutes to drop it and then drive 38 minutes to the next job thats actually worth the effort cause the app wont send you nothing down the street if you want to. 😂

Cars and cribs is a beast. Learned alot from his vids

I love 💕

Great video. I have a CDL-A and current medical card with hazmat and tanker endorsments. I have been driving an 18 wheeler for a couple of years. I want to get into the expediting cargo van business. Does having a CDL-A license give me an advantage in this business?

One more thing is cargo vans can be liable for that for the business that I have

I'm a Christian I wanted to buy a cargo van to use for my DJ business do you think it's worth it

I'm trying to get started in the business I haven't file my Dun & Bradstreet number but they ask for 2500 through Inc Authority to get a line of credit going what should I do

Now this is a bad ass video! Liked and Subscribed!
I don't need Hannibal getting to Hungry in my neighborhood! lol

This brother is telling it right! Yes, you can make money however it take some to get things going. You really have to stay on top of it.

Do you need a dot number if you get loads from a dispatcher ?

60%of the app are no good here in AZ

All those guys are killing it💯🔥

Experience is the best teacher, we aren't swimming in the middle of the ocean! Jump in where you fit in. Too many college grads have no skills or experience. They are privileged to jump to the head of a line. They fail too, a lot, and have no way to recover so they learn how to Trump cheat.

Hi sir I want to start cargo delivery by van owner operator business how to start first step

Good morning, I have 7 years of experience as a driver, now I bought my van and I want to work on my own, but I don't know how to find the loads, any suggestions, thanks

Too much. Just sign up with a carrier….

Great info!!! I would love a cargo van 🚐 but it seems a hassle tbh

Thank you for the information sir,I hope you have a lucrative career,stay blessed

Thank you. Definitely want to see the cars and cribs interew

Hello I really appreciate your channel and lot a lot on it thank you! I have a question about how a van owner can make money without driving the van? Process to hiring and pay driver’s to operate the van?

I agree on the research part. If your area doesn’t seem to be that busy for doing cargo van shipping your just pissing in the wind with your idea and money.

Don’t get me wrong roadie is somewhat busy in my area but if they don’t have a order that requires a cargo van to deliver the items then your vehicle is just a 20k or more paper weight.
