There was a time I hit the road(over the road not too often). Like really going out the state for real. Before I knock it, I had to try it right…… So here we go. This was one run in a span of 4 days. St Augustine to Maryland. Maryland to Virginia Beach. Virginia Beach to New Jersey. New Jersey to Philadelphia. Philadelphia to Ohio. Ohio to Indiana. Indiana to Chicago. Chicago back all the way down to Orlando. Did I make good money? Yes Was it worth it? No I got the worst sleep of my life out...

I’m out here absolutely cooking in the hot sun today around 12:30pm but we’re getting it in. That’s peak time for the Sun 🌞 to be out by the way. lol I have a problem I know…. Hahaha I keep getting cooked and still go again. But it’s worth it… I visited about seven to ten businesses in person because that’s what it takes to actually build a biz that doesn't rely on Load boards, apps and brokers. It’s all about the work we put in behind the scenes. You would have thought it was a block party...

Slurppp Slurpppp chugging down some ice cold spring water in this summer heat. You’re sitting down handling the backend of your business(typical day in the office). Searching for opportunities. Ripping through applications on indeed. Zip recruiter. Craigslist. CB driver. Email after email….. smiling at the laptop because you are putting in that work my friend. Can’t wait to witness the return on investment right…. Now it’s time to sit back, relax, and wait on those good ole responses to roll...

If you want to stop wasting opportunities and start making the most of the mishaps in your cargo van biz…. Then give me 3 minutes to show you how I could have spazzed out at a delivery pickup because this was the 5th time I arrived and their freight was almost no where near ready. Mind you me and the sun have been beefing for a while. He won’t stop turning up his heat…. And the worst part is that they take forever to respond with their stupid “CHECKING” message….. 30 minutes later….. No...

Let me tell you what happened to me. Because this is another reminder that relationships will always take you further than rushing through a delivery….. I drove from Orlando all the way down to Fort Lauderdale for an airport delivery. Man, I love airport deliveries. Airports never stop. They’re operating...

If you’re furious with brokers sucking the life out of your paycheck and want to build more direct clients relationships…. And are jaded of Dispatchers stealing 13% of your loads and you want to win your own clientele …. Or maybe you’re exhausted of living on the road away from family for weeks in your Cargo Van like I was and you want to be home almost every night making memories with your significant other…. Or even worn out from all these APPS promising to get you clients but robbing $250...

It’s 2pm in Sanford Florida…. So I was out in the hot sun getting absolutely cooked. It was crazy. I had just pulled up to a company to pick up a delivery, and everything was going smooth. I walked in, greeted everyone, gave them the PO number to confirm the shipment. Made sure to provide great customer service. Kind of like a server during Superbowl Sunday… They handed me the freight, no problemo! After they gave me the delivery, I asked for the BOL(Bill of Lading) because that paperwork is...

Apple Maps(The worst). Waze(Caused me to get into a accident in South Carolina). Google Maps(Now that's a Gold mine). Reply back if I am wrong about what I just shared….. Google maps has helped me survive the road in some of the deadliest locations. No signal. Straight forest. Love bugs everywhere. You get the picture. We have to learn how to master Google Maps. What El Cargo Boss? GOOGLE MAPS? YES! GOOGLE MAPS. Did you know you can plan up to 5 stops in Google maps?…. It sounds simple, but...
