David Smith Hi David!! Thank you 😊

We’ve done a ton of videos about what we do. We have playlist to separate the info stuff from our other videos. If you ever have questions shoot us an email. TheCraftyTrucker@gmail.com

Maica Bentivoglio Thank you Maica! We are loving it here. :) be safe

Maica Bentivoglio Are you no longer expediting with Landstar? Also were you or are you solo or team running?

Maica are you still driving trucks

Krieghandt Thank you!!

bravokyd Thank you! Glad it was useful for you.

I'm down for the pod cast

We’ve heard that from many other Drivers from over there. Very interesting indeed

wildcoyote34 Thank you & thanks for sharing your experience. We may get our own authority one day in the future. Be safe :)

I always strive to be safe ,, in 25 years of driving ,,everything from 4 wheelers and farm tractors to semis I have never yet had an accident that was my fault , and never a speeding ticket in over 1 million miles ,,I'd rather drive slow and save on noise and wear on my truck ,,today I hauled another load of scrap to the junkyard for someone ,friggin nightmare stacks of crushed cars ,,i always have to scrub my flat decks afterward cause they are a greasy mess ,,,the idiot that crushed them didn't verify that the fluids were all drained so once you put them through a 200 ton crusher they sorta bleed all over ,, this particular guy pays really well and i get regular jobs from him so i don't complain about the greasy mess ,,usually quick turnaround short runs where i don't have to load or unload ,, i just gotta sling chains ,,and unlike most guys who will only use 2 or 3 chains on a stack of cars i'll use 5 or 6 ,,,,I had a good friend a few years back who was nearly killed by a stack of cars that fell off a truck that were poorly chained and the chains broke

Gary Sizemore Thank you Gary!! Hope you are enjoying LS as much as we are even with the learning curve. Be safe :)

TheCraftyTrucker Ty. See you all down the road

The Expediter Boogie Thanks Jerry 😊It's been a bit of a learning curve for sure but worth it for us. Be safe 💙

Yvonne Dunlap Thank you! We have found a couple of the FB groups.

LOL Shyann is a hard one to please ;) Thanks Pete!

Hahahah, she certainly is. But you know how cat's are lol. Safe trucking to you all..

Class b is needed for these trucks

@@TheCraftyTrucker thank you I'll go get the class B.

dyvinesun Thank you :)

Yvonne Dunlap Thanks for that info Yvonne!

Yvonne Dunlap do they make you retake the DOT physical I have cerebral palsy and have a past one from my doctor

Twisters Music Radio Thank you. So far we have been really pleased.

Nice! We are selling our current truck 😉

MrBigR 504 LOL!! 🐶😁

Clinton Johnson Thanks for the info Clinton. We have been researching getting our own authority. It is definitely something we may do in the future. Be safe :)

Can i contact u ?

Angel Ruiz Thanks :)

Mrs Jason doesn't have her CDL A yet, but she has thought of getting it. Then they can think about 18+ wheels. Hey, heavy hual expediting might be a thing ya know ;)

Bigdog Bulldog We have .. maybe in the future but for now we love our ST.

Krieghandt Thanks :)

Wilberto Escalera Thanks! We do go to the NE. We haven't gone there since we've moved over to LS yet so not sure if the pay is better going there with them.

heath wells Thank you :)

Agreed. You two are so nice to post these informative videos. I'm not in the business (yet), and I have learned a lot from you. I enjoy all your vids.

We use the Garmin Dezl

brettduffy19992 We have never had our own authority but I would assume if you are in bad weather and have to shut down as long as you communicate with the agent/broker/customer of the situation & keep them informed you would be fine. Your safety is most important.

Prince Dee Thank you! Here is a link you can check out: www.expeditersonline.com/jobs/

Mark Nairn Good point Mark! Our thoughts go out to those folks in TX!!

Prayers are appreciated. I'm about 10 miles from the beach, as the sea gull flies. At this point, I think I'm safer at home than in the traffic with thousands of others. I'd be in a concentration of lots of sub par drivers, subject to road rage. I'm a good ways from Corpus Christi, so hopefully my roof won't blow off.

J. J. , Stay safe in TX. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

If you can get contracted through a major carriers, alot of them you run under their fleet insurance.

brettduffy19992 Depends on your Carrier. With Landstar we get loads through agents so we would tell them. The carrier we were with before they had dispatchers so we would tell them.

Jesus Lozano Thanks Jesus! You would think that but the problem is finding loads for our size truck on those load boards.

roundsout155 Hey there 😁 Thank you. We don’t mind ... it was $180k.

TheCraftyTrucker Thank you !!! B safe !!!

roundsout155 😊

brettduffy19992 Yes we do carry our own insurance as well

Marcio K9 no they stay out 3 week minimum 40 to 60 each driver a year Oi tudo bem la??

Class B with air breaks 😉

@@TheCraftyTrucker I mean like job history. Need to drive class A for sometime or something

Daniel Frank I gotcha! It depends on the carrier.. for instance FedEx & Panther do not require any OTR experience were as Landstar does.

@@TheCraftyTrucker so for starters go to either fed ex or panther. Then move if wanted when we have 6-12 months experience. I am a little weary on her driving a 60ft truck. I'm good but her not so much

Daniel Frank We would recommend starting with FedEx CC. With their white glove freight you all will have the most opportunity to make the most money. Once your wife has her CDL we are more than happy to help get you with a excellent fleet owner with FedEx. Straight trucks can not be over 40’ so that’s even shorter than the 60’ you thought 😉 Our email is TheCraftyTrucker@gmail.com

Tom Herron Nope we haven't had to do any of that so far.

brettduffy19992 You can get your own as long as the place you use is on the DOT registry list.

TheCraftyTrucker my chiropractor is a dot doctor but I do. Physical from a non. Doctor will not work I know any doctor can do it some companies won't accept it if he's not on the registry

brettduffy19992 That’s correct

We have electronic logs.

B nuggz most likely no not with out a sleeper

Ashley Colas what does your husband drive?

boom Vas We bought it outright & it was $180k

al aezah average starting pay per mile for an owner operator in expediting is 1.50 loaded miles

luis cordova Every load is different

You do but just a class b

johnny Franklin Thanks Johnny. We have done a video a while back explaining how much we made when we drove for an owner & plan to do another one now that we own our own truck.

Hoang Pham We like the flexibility we have with our straight truck and we do run all 48 states. :)

Alvin Rey The Cute & Young Mechanic He has a Class A CDL & I have a Class B CDL.

@@TheCraftyTrucker so for the trucks what papers do i need, I'm buying a box truck and getting a load, do i need the USDOT# MC#? Like that?

I just wanna know if i buy a truck do i need the USDOT# MC# like that? And can i operate the truck with class c standard license? With no airbrakes.

Tks

Trey Stubbs yes at least a class b

My understanding is anytime it’s for hire you are required to have at least a B.

Ira Barker expeditersonline . Com

If they go bigger, the costs all go up; prices, taxes, permits, maintenance, etc. And the small expedite loads pay well. So going bigger would not necessarily reap a bigger pay check. Plus getting around, parking, and handling is easier than semi tractor trailer rig. I could see crawling out of my eighteen wheeler into something like their rig and enjoying life more.

Butch Thompson Hey Butch 👋 We will check him out .. Thanks ✌️❤️🚚

chicken scratch Totally agree about leasing from a carrier. We don’t lease we own our truck. Don’t know of any Expedite carrier that even has a lease option for straight trucks & the lease options for tractor trailers who are with an Expedite carrier lease through a 3rd party not the carrier.
