Yesterday definitely didn’t go as planned... After playing basketball 🏀 in Tallahassee, every load I saw was going the opposite direction. Halo(my son) was calling my name. I can see his smile in my head. My wife needed my help. Or she would be cooked at her job the next morning. Should I Choose the Cheese(Money) or Family? Which one did you think I chose? OF COURSE MY FAMILY! I would do anything for them. So i deadheaded home…. Got home at 3am. No rest. I was Exhausted. Only for my Family. It was a hard hit but worth it. That left me with $600 but an incredible marriage. Which one would you have chose? Do you think I was wrong for choosing my family? In business you have to learn when to cut your losses. Here’s why…. If I stayed in Tallahassee, I would not be able to reposition myself to close the week out strong. There are loads in that area, but the goal is good paying loads. Sorry for the late message. I just back from an event called "Family Midweek" (All the brothers and sisters in the church get together to encourage one another). It was refreshing. I needed that. Now I will enjoy my night with the NBA Finals. I am not a spurs fan.... But SPURS in 6 BABBYYYY Hope you had an incredible day. See You in your inbox tomorrow. Thanks, Damian “Had to Dead Head Home” Francois | Cargo Van Insiders PS —I always tell you guys, I am going to share my wins and losses. I don't have it all figured out. We are learning together. |

WOOP WOOP! Red and Blue lights… Awwww Man El Cargo Boss got Pulled over today. Almost 3 years in this business, I only got pulled over 3 times. lol that’s one time a year. This Cop must of been bored. I’m on I-10 doing my usual 65 MPH. This dude said I passed the agricultural inspection. Mind you I’m heading to Destin Fort Walton Beach Florida to drop my load off. 439 miles for $809. TOTALLY GOD! But this guy said a “Agriculture Inspection”. Since when Cargo Vans needed inspections? (Lol I...
Today was a phone call type of day. El Cargo Boss Hotline was blowing up. I felt like a Mobile call center. I spoke to at least 10 different people... Two conversations stuck out to me the most. First with RWS Express (My cousin). By the way, that's a secret to surviving long drives. Have plenty of valuable conversations on the phone. Next thing you know. BOOM you are 10 minutes from delivery and made a easy 500 macaroonis. RWS Express shared a funny story about how a guy he is mentoring is...
Did you know in the Bible, God says this command in different ways…. “DO NOT BE AFRAID” 365 times. Why? He knew we would struggle with FEAR. That’s one scripture for every day of the year. Powerful. Till this day, I can’t lie to you… There’s this deep feeling when you are waiting for loads but can’t seem to win one. It becomes a rabbit hole. Now I’m not going to make this Van payment, insurance payment, business expenses etc. Then it gets worse. Will I even feed my family? I suck as a man if...
