You’ll NEVER go BROKE If you own a Cargo Van..

Buy the Sprinter. I had a Sprinter 316 cdi from 2012 that I drove 875.000km. Now I have the Sprinter 316 cdi 2018. The van have only cost me a new fuel intake manifold (ca. 430.000km). It runs like a ......😅. I would those Sprinter all day every day. And also think about the 24 hour service is very important in the courier business.
Wow that’s a lot of Kms, and the 24 hour service saves lives!!
You must be in a foreign country. I put 4330,000 on a 2011 sprinter. Every year, increasing maintenance costs. 16 saw $20,000. I traded it off for a transit 3.7 same mileage for the most part. I'd never own another Mercedes. There's no 24hr service in USA.
You are a wise young man. Successful small buisness owners are inspiring. They need support from locals in their area. Keep it going. Best of luck and thankyou for sharing your thoughts, knowledge and experiences.
Thank you so much for those kind words! Best of luck to you as well. Stay blessed.
This was one of the best videos I’ve seen since doing my cargo van research. Thank you!
No, thank you Raey, that means A lot! 😁
I subscribed because I watch do you clean your service van!!!!! I always keep my service vehicle clean and beautiful
Always gotta take care of what’s yours!
I'd put shelves and a tiny wall and composting toilet and deliver packages and mail if I can get one of these in right handed drive or a conversion kit for right handed drive when finding a decent van and a older one.
Thank u so much for the video! Iam starting my new van business and Iam learning from u thanks 🙏🏻 😊
You’re very welcome! Good luck to you and if you have any future questions lmk 💪
@@Tony.Ruiz08 I will thank u so much ☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am using Citroen jumper at work. It's basically same car as dodge promaster. But it has Citroen diesel engine. Runs very good and uses roughly 2 times less fuel than my 3.3 v6 minivan
Wow I have not seen those. I know these promaster are based on the Citroen Jumper, but I have not seen the OG version. I thought the US didn’t get them or something. & diesel too! Nice.
Jersey in the building!
Yess siiir🙌
😮 1 million miles!!! Okay 👌🏾
How many miles should I get a ford E150/E250/E350 van? I’ve seen a lot with almost 200k and I might need it only for a few years so should I be good getting one with a lot of miles?
Thank you Tony.
Always 💪💪
It's a car presentation like a deaer.
We can talk about differences in earnings from transported cargoes
Great video. Excellent info.
Thank you Karim 💪💪
I cant get good jobs easily so i have been thinking of getting a l sprinter van the last couple years & starting a business . But the only thing i can think of is expediting over the road. I'd like to stay local or at least in-state. Im just one guy, I'd have one van. So i dont know what else i could do because i have an idea of how to look for sprinter van loads on load boards. But staying close to home is always best in my opinion. I try to look online but all i find is expediting over the road type people
This was exactly what I been trying to figure out preciate you bro. Keep going
I’m glad brother 🙌 thank you
The RAM van you showed which is from PSA group (now Stellantis), is the worst out of the rest, their 2.2 HDi really struggles when carrying heavy loads. It's good for mail delivery though, but only the facelift model (2020 until today). The Sprinter is a reliable van, but difficult to maintain, also isn't that comfortable either. You could've mentioned the Volkswagen Crafter or the Iveco Daily as alternatives though.
I agree with you! But we don’t get the Crafter or the Iveco here in the US. Just looked them up I wish we would! Sprinters, Rams & transits are the main ones here.
@@Tony.Ruiz08 Damn what a pity, you guys are missing out on a lot of great brands. I know that it's possible to import European-made models from Mexico, but finding parts for certain models could be difficult.
@@telgrupos6143 haha that’s true! I actually never even heard of the Volkswagen one! It’s actually sweet looking!
@@Tony.Ruiz08 That's awesome that you liked it, it's also one of my favourite vans. I really thought that you guys in the USA and Canada had this one, since it is sold internationally and also because Volkswagen sells to North America. I see them everywhere around Europe, they're indeed great looking, reliable (not that expensive to maintain) and work basically for every type of job you need. I just wanted to say one thing about the Ford Transit, the 1996 Transit (open box and panel van) is the best low-cost van you can get for the price. Its engine is practically indestructible, I've had 2 of those carry more than 2 tons every week driving cross-country for 2 years now, and I am really satisfied with its performance, just watch out for the oil consumption. Nonetheless, definitely worth buying.
I love it!!!! I’m so proud of you ❤ Keep at it manito!!! Good stuff ⭐️
🙌❤️
Great video man, it’s awesome seeing a business owner make videos in Hudson County ❤
Appreciate it Jason. More to come 🙌
Ford Transit high top, which been my dream van for few years.hope I won the lotto & could afford one, hehe..
Easier to obtain than you think, just gotta focus on it & be patience, No lotto needed.
I only had $2500 when I started this business. My girl and some friends loaned me the other $2500 to purchase my red cargo van. Now I have 2 vans & even bought a personal car to move around with my newborn. That was the plan, it worked cause I wrote down and executed it.
If you decide today that you’re going to work towards obtaining a Transit & you write down, make an execution plan step by step, I promise 100% that you will achieve it.
Thank you so much brother! God keep on blessing you 💯
I just subscribed too!
Thanks fam💪 bless up
Good to have you back
Glad to hear from you again bro 🙌
Hey! I just found your channel. Thanks for the content and info.

Nice job tony
Thank you 🙏
I like your cargo van 😊
Thank you!!
great vid bro.. exactly what i needed. thanks
Thanks Kevin! Feel free to like & share!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 good information
🙌 thank you
I love the info , thanks bro. What do you think about a Ford low roof cargo van to start?
It’s a great van! I would just go for a high roof if you can which will increase your chances of getting more jobs/contracts in the future. But to start is a great van!
Im thinking about getting the Mercedes metris
Great one. Just a bit pricey but it’s a sweet van!
Keep it up man❤ love the hustle man ❤❤
Thank you brother 🙏
Grate vid!
Thanks you Joe!
Greetings brother! I learn much from your content, keep it up.
I’ll like you to make a video or just respond to this comment, what are your thoughts on leasing a sprinter van in the dealership to start a cargo van business?
Hey brother! As long as the monthly payments aren’t creamy high! You wanna have as low overhead expenses as possible. I know people paying 1k+ on payments only not leaving them a lot of profits. It’s all posible, just crunch some numbers! Btw, I apologize for the late response.
Transit 250 medium roof
Thanks 🙌
Tony I’m from Jersey too i was wondering if you can break it down in person
For sure! We can discuss in person!
@@Tony.Ruiz08 how can i contact you should i email you?
Hello, I really like the information you have provided on your channel, I have been following you for a few months, could you help me find or indicate a company that needs a van cargo service, I have been trying to find, visiting Warehouse, calling and by email , but unfortunately I have not had any luck, any suggestions
Hey brother for sure! Where you located?
@@Tony.Ruiz08 Garfield, Nj
Is the E150 with the 4.2v6 good enough for this business?
Yea sir! That’s what I wanted at first. Better in gas than the old V8 5.4 triton.
Hello everyone. What are your opinions on leasing a van? I know a monthly payment cuts into profits. But i like the idea of free maintenance every time i need it. I also like to know that the leasing company will loan me another van to work, while i wait for mine to get repaired.
Let’s go T nyc here
Thank you 🙌 let’s get it !!
No creo que hagas 3000 dolares libres con La ford transit llevamdo poca. Carga y tan solo unas horas nuy difficult de creer, ademas las transit se arruinan mucho de la.transmison
No me tienes que creer. No ando vendiendo nada.
Hey Tony, do you have videos on the local contracts you have in looking into getting a van but want to take the local route
Easiest way to find Local & Regional contracts
czcams.com/video/uZnscpXtlwo/video.html
Tony, some of the Ford Transits are flex fuel V6s. Can they handle the weight? Especially going up and down hills and mountains.
I just got a ford transit 2013, I live in NORTH NEW JERSEY. need to fix a couple of things but I don’t know what type of work i can do or how to get in touch with people. If you guys know any company that needs help moving stuff or any type of van work let me know! Thanks!!!
We can try something bro! Shoot me an email and let’s find a way to make money with it.
Which van is big enough to carry a 4 X 8 sheet of plywood? Appreciate the info!!
With the Ford mid size the two best engines in them would be the 351 Clevveland or 351 Windsor?
Nice content bro where do you get your loads from our contract?
Find a company & apply. Make sure you have whatever requirements they require. Apply, call, let them know you apply and that you’re ready to provide your services with your van etc. I use indeed and google.
Is a 3500 Ram Promaster Van ok? I am going to an auction to look at one
Yes ma’am. I have a few friends and they love theirs.
@@Tony.Ruiz08 thank you
Better to finance or buy?
Either. If you have the cash for it it’s better of course. Less overhead expenses down the road.
@@Tony.Ruiz08 thanks
can you tell me if you need to be legal to work with this or you only need drive license and insurance.
You have to start a company (LLC) and it requires a lot of info. Must be legal to start that process.
What kind of insurance is needed ?
Hey, what’s the medical company you have contracts with for I’m in Orlando Florida?
They aren’t extended that way. Have you tried indeed?
Good job .. How to get them contract in jersey
Have you tried looking on indeed?
What is a good app to use ?
So do the year matter cause some people say don’t get one later than 2015
It depends on who you go to work with. Some carriers prefer newer ones while others have a year limit.
What's up Tony I'm in northern Virginia what kind of contact did you get first or have or where should I look to get a local contact thx
This might help!

Do you think renting a van would be a good alternative to financing one?
Not worth it to rent IMO
I don’t recommend but if you can find a good low weekly rate that won’t hurt the profits too much, then yeah. Just gotta play with the numbers.
I'm thinking about the NV200 or Chevy city express to start.
Always good to hear from you ! The express is definitely a great choice
@@Tony.Ruiz08 Going to be honest, getting business credit to me is more important than the money I don't know, I might be crazy.
Tony I’m looking for a job brother I got my license do you have any open positions?
I don’t have anything opened at the moment.
Tony, que typo de compania fuiste ah preguntar sobre el trabajo de hacer los deliveries. Tengo interes en hacer esto pero no se como agarrar un contrato oh trabajar para una compania que ofresca este typo de trabajos ah las personas que tengan una van lista para trabajar. Muchas gracias.
Has buscado en indeed?
Aye primo how many miles did your 2001 have when you bought it
It had 180k miles. 230k now
@@Tony.Ruiz08 Gracias por responder primo que Dios te bendiga por ayudar a la gente
@@asiatic_black amen brother! Igual 💪
What about 2012 Nissan nv fleet?
Also a very good small cargo van
Don't buy them with Renault's dCi motors, they break down every month.
Thanks brother!
Always brother 🙌💪
Great vid Tony. Im leaning 05 chevy express 2500 lwb...just to do local runs on gig apps without the need for commercial insurance or an authority. Imo, its the best startup price to earning potential to get my feet wet, network, and scale into a larger, otr sized sprinter van / 16' box truck. Whats your thoughts on this, since you have more experience and knowledge?
That’s exactly why I went with the e350, cheap to start with but with a good potential to make money. Same with an 05 express, it won’t break your wallet. You thinking smart
❤
Tony
I have a question about titles. I am looking at 3 different vans however 2 of them have salvage titles. Does that matter? Is it difficult to get it insured?
It will be difficult to insure and to resell in the future. I recommend you buy something good and reliable with a good tittle, in case you wanna sell and upgrade later on.
bro i have a ford transit 250 where can i get the deliveries after getting the llc and commercial plates with insurance?
Where you located?
@@Tony.Ruiz08 Totowa nj my brother
You hiring drivers? Im always available
Where you from?
@@Tony.Ruiz08 Im in Bayonne NJ
Number? I’ll delete the comment no worries lol
How many hours a day do you work?
About 7 hours. My driver about 5-7 hours depends.
@@Tony.Ruiz08 okay. Thank you.
@@EMT0210 for sure. Sometimes I switch to the shorter route. Probably this winter 🥶
Hey Tony, do you need your own authority to run local contracts.
Just for you!
