Anyway you can do a video on how you chose the first truck you bought? With so many different options, its difficult for a newbie to get an idea… Thanks dude keep up the great work and education!!

  2. Hi Brandon! I’m a remote accountant, and considering diving deeper into trucking and specifically hotshot owner/operators as a client niche. Are there any industry-specific blogs or update services you’d recommend (besides your channel, of course!) to stay on top of IFTA changes, pending legislation, etc? Thank you! Your videos are clear, to-the-point, and very much appreciated!

  6. Hey Brandon
    I’ve developed software for owner-operators and carriers that helps manage expenses and track fleet finances. I think you’d find it valuable. Let’s connect and discuss a potential collaboration!

    Thanks and keep creating amazing content!
