yup! All you need is a regular drivers license. In general, for most states, you can’t exceed 25,999 pounds. Some states have other restrictions related to airbrakes and suspension but for the most part, you have to have a CDL if your truck exceeds 26k pounds.

That being said, my team and I now offer a dispatching service if you're interested in that. Otherwise, I don’t recommend a dispatcher, I think every owner Operator should eventually learn to dispatch themselves, sooner rather than later.

Yes, you’d have to get a contract with a final mile company like xpo, or lowes. I would say Amazon relay but that’s going down the drain as we speak. Depends on where you are. Possible but it’s getting harder and harder by the day.

Question it’s looks a bit harder and uncomfortable for a box truck to Otr than a Semi. I got Dumptrks and looking to expand I was looking at Amazon relay and Uber freight plus load boards. But what’s your recommendation for someone that has trucking experience and looking at this business opportunity. Good luck I’m in Louisiana as well.
@iamjeffjoseph
2 жыл бұрын
It’s a lot harder, no question. If you have the ability I would one thousand percent suggest getting a semi and trailer over a box truck. Box truck owners do the same if not more (in some cases) than semi-drivers for a third of the pay. Also, you have many more options for freight. Lastly, if you do decide to hop in a box truck don’t depend on Amazon relay and technical Uber freight only has loads intended for 53’ trailers. I would say, semi or hotshot. Box trucks are in my opinion the most basic entry point into trucking and a means to get to “the next level.” I hope this helps! I appreciate you

Also, it’s been hard for me to find local work in Louisiana so I’ve been forced to be otr. If you’re close to Nola, there’s an Amazon facility opening in Slidell in June/July. That may change things but it’s been challenging. I know it can be done because others are doing it but none of the companies I reached out to were paying nearly enough for what I would need to net

Everybody’s situation is going to be different depending on credit and the vehicle. Your truck note on a purchase might be $900-1500 a month. And leasing might be on average $$2500-3500 a month. Renting right in April 2022 is going to easily be around $2,200 a week plus mileage. These are not exact, just estimates from my experience and info from friends in the business.

Great question. Most states do not require you to have your CDL for commercial vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating under 26,000 pounds, which is what I have in the video. You have to check the laws in your state to be sure, they may have different laws about what type of breaks and suspension you have. But you should go without it in most states as long as you’re under 26k
