Would really like to hear about how the cabover is doing, ie. fuel economy, reliability, comfort. I like the style of your videos but honestly it was the cabover that got me to subscribe.

I saw an older International Transstar here in Montana one day last year pulling an Amazon trailer. That blew me away and inspired me too!!!

@@KingTX2K Yeah cabovers are are rare sight here in the states these days, except for box trucks. I have one of those. A 2007 Isuzu NPR with a 18' box and a lift gate. It has the 6.0 Chevy V8. I will say that cabovers are alive and well in Europe and other countries though!!!

I actually really enjoy you doing this kind of video, I like the longer in depth videos and I’m half way through this one but just wanted to say thanks man, getting my ole Cab Over and trying to decide what I want to do and if I want to get into when the time comes, do you have to have your own Authority to do this for Amazon? Getting the day or week contracts? Thanks Kyle!

Pretty informative. I’d always wondered how Amazon set those loads up. You must have your own authority to do that. I’m leased to a carrier so I would have to get them to do that. I really don’t like van freight tho but to each his own. The numbers you were talking aren’t terrible but aren’t spectacular either. A guy could do worse.

Many people I know never stick with Amazon. Check out trucker style shawn he was with Amazon for a while. I think you will do better with your own flatbed. Be aware of your height pulling van, all fifth wheel heights are different you should measure it, you need a low fifth wheel. a lot of flatbed tractors can't pull a van they are too high.

Whatever you do get away from Amazon!! If you aren't making at least 1,000 a day you aren't really making money. You had a couple of decent experiences. With that van most times you will sit for hours and hours for no money. Yeah most of those people in warehousing and shipping are miserable a-holes!!! Get back under that flatbed!!! That 2.40 a mile you're making isn't worth it!!! Stick to what you know.

That’s a big question. It all depends on what you’re looking to do, how long you want to stay out, etc. you can message me on Facebook and we can get into it in depth better.
