Looking for advice on how to make money with a DOT number and business licenses but with no semi.

Anyone can get a dot number and biz license .
And if you’re running expedited freight in a minivan or fancy Escalade ,
You don’t need a CDL .

I know folks that run expedited
With sprinter vans or minivans and they do pretty good money

 

You need to have insurance to get your Motor Carrier Authority. There are too many blanks in your situation. Why cant you get a truck?

 

with a escalade and minivan you would be better off doing uber eats/ instacart

 

If you don't have the right equipment just don't do it. You not going to be pulling any hot shot loads would that Escalade. The van if it's in good operating condition and you can trust it you can go run Sprinter stuff. As far as your number and business license I can do that online why we post on here

 

Not gonna run Sprinter loads in a minivan, as you cannot get a standard pallet through the door, nor load/unload with a forklift.

I did something similar when I first started in a Ford high-top conversion with a wood floor panel and stripped interior. There were many loads I couldn't accept because the door just wasn't quite tall enough. That was fixed when I bought a well-worn Sprinter super high ceiling with its 6' tall rear door opening and 180* swinging doors. Add in the hatchback a minivan has vs. doors, along with the narrower opening, and its just not going to happen.

 

Sell escalade or trade for sprinter. Make money and sell sprinter for semi. Your gonna need to work so much, you won't need that escalade.
