Will I make money right away buying a van or need to wait for all documentations?

[PauloP]

I currently do gig apps with my mid size sedan and so far it helps pay the rent and bills. If I buy a van , the gas cost will be much higher so using this for gig apps will be an overkill

I have the questions below:
1) Buy used or new?
2) What time of van? I know it should be high roof , but which brand and which model? I live in the US
3) Where to get the load the fastest that make me work in the shortest amount of time? Are gig apps the way to go initially?

Thank you for the help

First things first, go learn the business. Do this by driving for an owner. Learn on his equipment. Do this for at least a year.

Not sure I want to work for $15/hr and have a boss hollering at me, demanding when I work and not work. Perhaps for a 3 months but not for a year.

Then expediting is not for you.
Being an expediter, you are running a business. You will not survive without learning how the industry works. There is more to it than start engine and drive.

Unless you have dedicated lanes forget about it. The industry has been destroyed by the illegals.

That's true Rag man. You also have to be able to sleep endless days at a loves truck stop and pop in your used DEF boxes and enjoy sleeping on a bean bag with the the cargo you are moving for less than $1 a loaded mile.

Enjoy your Stuckey rotted flat meat and sharing a public toilet that 300 stank ass sat before you.
