There are options to go with

1 Lease onto someone’s MC

2. Operate with your own MC

If you are operating your own MC there are things you need to first put in order

1 Form LLC
2 Get your EIN
3 Get your DOT/ MC
4 Finance/ lease/ rent or buying outrightly
5. You will need Insurance to activate your MC and your MC needs to be older than 3 months or atleast 3 months to book loads off loadboards, some brokers can book with you with a new MC but you will have low rate. aAmazon now is even requesting for 180 days MC to book off their LB.

Insurance

GL = $1M / 2M aggregate
BIPD = $1M
Cargo = $100k

Trucking is lucrative, profitable and stressful at same time but you will make it trust me

Cost of trucks depends on what you what

Kingofmykingdom:


I bought this truck last year from Freightliner for $120k and the trailer $60k from Great Dane. This is new and fresh from factory 2020. The used one can go as low $70k and the trailer $50k or less

Kingofmykingdom:


Moving of freights interstate. This is called 53ft Dry Van. Tractor and Trailer. The trailer is 53ft long x 102” Width x 102” Height. I move Hazmat loads but you can move other things. We have also Refeer and Flatbeds. A FTL of this weighs 80,000lbs

nattyspice:

If you are leasing, there are company’s that will ask you to lease with them, where you bring the trucks and lease to their MC/ DOT. For instance, you can bring your trucks and lease to my company and I will be paying you like 80% of what your trucks earning every Friday and 20% will be for my dispatching and MC/DOT, meaning you just don’t need any documentation or paperwork except the normal insurance.

Depending on what you want, Straight Truck or Semi( Straight truck is 26ft box truck and semi is the one I posted above) Semi is divided into Hook and Drop only or 53 dry van.

We have local, regional, long haul and short haul. It will cost you approximately $80k to buy a box truck or Semi from a dealership and I will advise you to buy from a dealership first as to get a 6 - 1 year warranty.

Rates are kind of low if you’re booking from loadboards , this is due to the fact that there are middle men like Shipper - Broker- Dispatcher/O/O

If you are doing hook and drop or using a box truck , states to avoid due to low rates are Florida, LA, AL, MA, NM, Montana

Thanks bro. Your explanation is the best but i must say this $80k you keep mentioning makes me maybe it's cause i still think in Naira.

Are you talking about white gloves?

Kingofmykingdom:


Depending on your experience and endorsement

Louis8796:
OK,how much now?

Kingofmykingdom:


6 months No endorsement = 0.53 cpm and 3000 miles M-F

Kingofmykingdom:


Depending on how you want to start, I am a fleet owner and I work directly with shippers and not brokers but if you’re trying to start with one truck, I will advise you to go for CDL A, as a first timer be ready to either drive it or hire a driver.

Rates are low for Owner Operators with 1 or 2 trucks but you will still profit.

What do you want to start with, Non CDL or CDL

ZINNYBANKS:

in the space 2-3 years can one save up $25m doing this truck business? Since you said you made $998k last year.

felixzo1:
he said gross income

Kingofmykingdom:


Go for truck driving and I can hire you as a driver and fresh out of school I will be paying you 0.45 cpm loaded or unloaded and 3000 miles weekly. If I sponsor your school I will pay you 0.35 cpm and you will work for me for 2 years. I have health benefits, 401k matching, PTO, SPL and tuition reimbursement.

Nigerian truck experience is different from US experience. There things you need to know here that you don’t know in Nigeria. The DeF system, 5th wheel, spreading of axles and how to drive during winter, following the ELD and traffic signs, weigh stations and how to spread your weight. Remember each loaded FTL is 80,000lbs. And how to use the Air ride system

I will advise you to learn how to drive it in Nigeria, come over here and enroll in a 3 weeks school to learn and write the exam then get your CDL and work briefly for major carriers like CR England, Jb hunt and others. It will cost you atleast $5k to enroll and get your CDL.

Truck drivers earn atleast $1800 W2 weekly

Bobbiet:

Good day sir.
Please can you give me a brief up of your sponsorship terms and conditions sir?

I think this could be a stepping stone to a career in trucking because of my love for trucks and adventure.

ZINNYBANKS:

So if I have $120k I'll buy this big white truck and start earning..?

Kingofmykingdom:


Are you talking about white gloves?

Kingofmykingdom:
If you want to know about Trucking in the US or you want to start a trucking business, ask me anything you want to know, the tips, pitfalls, what to look after, how to get your trucks, drivers pay, estimates, how much you can profit and any other questions, I will ready to guide and teach you for free. I’m a fleet owner and been in this industry for long, I know in and out of this business. I gross last year $988k and can walk you through. I want to see Nigerians in this business, this is a multi billion dollar business and the Russians, Indians and Chinese are cashing out steady.

Let’s go

What are white gloves?

Kingofmykingdom:


Furniture, Mattress and Electronics moving companies

Louis8796:
How much is house rent in Texas or new York, (USA).

Kingofmykingdom:


Furniture, Mattress and Electronics moving companies

Kingofmykingdom:


Texas is cheap especially Houston and Dallas, I’ve been there but not a resident, I’m resident of GA. New York is expensive

Louis8796:
How do furniture's company work?

Kingofmykingdom:


Stressful as you will need a straight truck (16ft -26ft) with liftgate and you will need to hire a helper.

You pick furnitures from companies or from home depot and others to deliver to individual homes. The insurance is too high and any damage, the will deduct it from your insurance premiums

Louis8796:
OK,like if the want to employ u as a furniture producer,like chairs,tables,,how much do the pay u?

Kingofmykingdom:



I don’t know anything about that
