there. Who is sitting there? Is your husband sitting there? >> He is. >> Is your husband sitting there? >> Yes, he is. >> He's He's He is overseeing if we are doing a good job, so maybe we should ask a review from him. Mr. Husband, what do you think? Did we teach your wife good

information or not? >> Exceptional. Love you, baby. Exceptional. >> Okay. [laughter] >> He says exceptional. >> Exceptional. So, Keisha, let's talk [snorts] about this. Well, starting before the class, you already kind of interacting. Uh let me ask you that why did you decide to even sign up for the class? >> You're very thorough. You're very

thorough. You're straightforward. Um I understand that you know, be if you're straight with me, I understand. Now, I got to go and fix what I need to get fixed. Don't beat around the bush like we say. Um I want to know where I'm going wrong at. >> Okay. So, do you think it's

improving your the way you're thinking about transportation, booking loads? Do you think that this brought the value to your company? >> Yes. Um you're encouraging like, you know, confidence. I'm more confident now more than ever. So, my I know my voice is shaky, but, you know, yeah, I'm getting there. I I feel like

I'm at least 80% way better than I I came into this class. >> Yeah, and we understand now importance of actually seeing what's good or not, right? Especially for you, you're a beginning, you're a smaller carrier. You have drivers, so don't concentrate on all those miles, concentrate on making profit for you and for them, and it's

possible. You are Your big plus is you're in Chicagoland. Chicagoland is a a market, so if they are coming also from Chicago, that's going to be easy. Of course, it depends where they live. In safety, we also going to cover things you will need to make sure you do for safety to stay in this business, right?

But, I I Everybody agrees. She did a good phone calls, right? Confidence is there. She knows what she was asking. Her voice was not shaking, right? She's been always in the class, even if she works and goes to work. She even made her personal appearance for the event, which was very nice to see her in

person. Hopefully not the last time. And I think I see improvement. So, would you recommend our training? >> Definitely. Before I even did the class. >> [laughter] >> I listened to you for a while online before I came and joined. >> Okay. So, I guess we're getting five stars, huh? >> Yes, you are. Six.

>> Six. Okay. Carmen, what's good for you? Why? You're so young and you're already working in a safety. Why did you decide to sign up for both classes, safety and dispatch? >> Well, I really wanted to grow, you know, to learn something new. I did my research about, you know, different courses and

yours was was the one that looks more complete than the other ones. I read the reviews. I also follow you on your TikTok, your social media, and you really inspired. I mean, you really inspire people. I like I love your personality, the way you talk, the way you, you know, say uh the stuff to people, to brokers. I

know like I'm a better I'm a better professional and I learned a lot from you. >> How about homework? You like stars? >> As well. >> Okay. How about homework? Do you like homeworks? >> I did. I liked it. I also like added a few loads. You know. For you to review it, but as soon as I

see that the trucks like the truck has an specific lane. I I don't think it was a good idea, but I mean I tried. I put it in in the pile. >> Okay, sounds good. We're going to review because you're coming back for safety. And again, you made uh you and Kisha made a great decision also as a Britney

because you're taking all three classes because you going to see how much more you're going to add with Ethan safety and it's going to help you drastically even with no negotiations with a brokers because when you know safety well, you remember that load we were discussing? Well, we're not doing illegal runs, right? So they can be pushy, they can be

threatening you, but we also have a power as a dispatcher when we know the safety. So I think you you have a bright future and I can tell you this in America you want to succeed you have to work for yourself. So start the faster you start working for yourself, the better you going to be

with your life and your freedom, financial freedom. So good job. Very very proud of you that you are so young and you are willing to take that not easy step because being a business owner it's not easy, but it's very rewarding for you personally. And same as I said for Kisha and for Britney. I think after

safety take a little breather and then go get your license for insurance and add an other other stream of income and contact me back. So maybe you'll be working in my insurance agency and I can train you there because that's where the money is, right? Why should especially you're going to be a service. Why do you

want to give those carriers to somebody else when you can be their insurance agent? First, they're going to be in a good hands because you're going to be a good professional. Second, you have extra money coming to you every year mandatory, right? Because it's mandatory. It's not optional. That primary liability is mandatory. That

cargo is mandatory. So, why not to do it? Is it going to take you time to pass that exam? Well, my girls are passing within 1 month. So, I'll send you also information how to get the discount if you want to look into this because we we do have discount if you want to sign up for the classes.

And then just go for it. I would really think that you can probably become number one insurance agent in Florida because we don't have that many good agents in Florida. Some area suffering, especially northeast. We don't have enough age good agents in New York and New Jersey. Like in Chicago, we have a

lot. Taxes, we start having some, but like Florida, Georgia, New York, well, Remember, when you get the license in one state, you can cover it in all other states with a small fee. So, you don't have to go take license in every state. So, that's something the bigger picture for you personally. And that's what I

would advise you. Okay? >> Right. >> Yeah. Put it on your mark. By By September 1st, I'm going to be licensed agent. Put it. If not, I'm going to be talking at my desk. Yeah, see? I'm going to be talking September 2nd. Carmen, you watching? Where is that license? I don't see email

with a license number. >> [laughter] >> Well, thank you so much for joining us. Well, let's go to Brittany. Brittany, I see your beautiful collection with the perfumes. Well, you're going to be smelling good while you're going to be booking those loads. Well, we can see that. >> Um you know, for me

you already know I'm coming from the corporate America background and I I knew I don't think I think that if someone is looking for someone that is going to give them a comprehensive look at trucking and that is going to get granular you are the best. And let me tell you this, Alex, I did not tell you this, but

just because I'm like into the trucking thing, right? So, you know, my timeline now is kind of like full of trucking things, but I joined this one young lady's live and she's a dispatcher and she shouted you out. I mean, she hadn't done taken your course, but she shouted you out. It's like one of the

folks that are ideal. It was you and someone else that I hadn't even heard of. But I thought to myself like I'm I'm I'm in good hands. And not only that, I think the course great, granular, comprehensive. But also figuring out, you know, your future plans within trucking. You provided amazing guidance on that

because you already know I've been I've I've talked to you about my challenges with with juggling and I think like Carmen said, I think you're inspirational cuz you got a lot of stuff going on, right? You're mom. You're doing the trucking thing, you're doing the insurance thing. So, it's just proof that it can all be done with hard

work and just like you said a moment ago, true freedom. And I don't know if anyone knows this from COVID all these things that are happening around the world, it's working for yourself. You cannot fire you. Right? So, it's kudos. It's been a great experience. >> we do fire ourselves, but hire ourselves next morning.

>> We we can. We can. But it's the freedom. It's the freedom. And so I think that um you've been very instrumental in that and I really enjoyed it. I'm excited to take and I'm looking forward to receiving more information because I'm super honestly I was hoping that you were going to say something to me about the

insurance line because when you said that you were in that space, but you know, I'm looking forward to any information that you can provide cuz I want to just >> I'm going to send you guys also PDF about the insurance so you can see statistics because when you look for example, we have different lines of

insurance, right? So the most common is the life insurance. You get your license and you have health, then you have property and then you have casualty. So for tracking we need casualty, but if you get in casualty, you should get property as well so you can cover the houses and homes if you want to do that.

So statistically 73% people who go for licenses as well, they all get life insurance. Well, it's easier. You sell once, but you also only get commission once, right? That's it. It's done. How many times you're going to buy life insurance? Well, you buy it for the whole life, for 30 years, or 20

years, so it's done. Commissions are higher, but it's only once. Well, health you have to deal with the health, but nowadays with all this markets and all of this, well, you you have to you have so much headache for what? $5, $6 per person? How many people you need to have car men to make

really good with selling health? No. Well, property is getting a little bit easier because homes have to be covered, auto cars has to be mandatory covered, it's better. But casualty, so when you really go, so property we have 24% of people who get license. Casualty only 11% who ever go for license pass it. So

don't you think that there is a big potential? So person who got casualty within the first year, the minimum they make is 77,000 dollars. People think, "Oh my god, she's making all this money on classes." She's No, guys. Insurance, that's where I make my money. >> I I researched it, Alex. I've been actively looking into it.

>> Let's look about Let's say Keisha, how much is your primary liability cost a year? How much? How much, Keisha, for your truck? Per year? >> What is it? 100,000? 1 million? >> No, no, no. How much you pay your premium? What? 20,000? 25,000? What is it? >> It is uh I think it's 26.

>> All right, so 26,000. That's just for what? The one truck, whatever, whatever, right? Whatever she has. 26. So, if she would be her own insurance agent, well, right there, once a year, she's getting 10% as as an agent, 2,600 dollars. So, Keisha, when you dispatching this, don't you think that you can have 10 carriers

a year? So, you can cover and make that extra 30,000. Yeah, you can, right? Well, let's go to Andre. So, Andre, the youngest boy, I know he already wants to go. I know we're going to let you go. What do you think? Did you Because you were debating to register about the class. So, did you decide to register or

did you dad make you to register for? >> No, I just had to register because I mean, I'm doing multiple things. I'm I'm reselling the cars right now. And I'm going to do like, you know, help my dad with dispatching, asking for the if I can join. And he said, "Yeah, you can like you got to pay a courses and

ever." >> Mhm. So, how old are you now? >> I'm 18. I just turned 18. >> You just You still You just finished high school? >> I I did it early. Like I graduated high school a little bit early. And yeah, December 26th I turn 18. >> Okay. So, do you like the process of

dispatching? What do you think? >> Yeah, yeah, I kind of I it's kind of like, you know, kind of hard for me because I have to make calls, I have to study, I hate homeworks, like I I don't know. >> Well, but it's your dad's company, right? And you want to make sure that he

makes more money, plus you going to make money. So, I think I think it's going to help you. I just need I just think you just need to redo that homework and just start doing, just shadowing because he's already has dispatcher, so it's easier for you. So, start being on the phone call, start making phone calls

because you have MC, you have insurance, just make sure you don't say something silly, so you don't block them, right? But, as you said, your thing is a little bit unrealistic when you ask for the prices, right? So, like, yes, you need to ask for that extra 1,000, 1,500, but it depends on which world, right? You

remember you you remember when that load was partial $400 and you wanted to ask for 2,000, well, well, that was nonsense, right? It was partial. So, what's going to happen when you going to say that a lot of times they're going to hang up on you, right? Or sometimes they even going to swear at

you. So, I don't want you to get to that point and it's okay, you are young, you're not going to get upset about this, but just be more realistic. Plus, when you are very unrealistic, the other person also think that you just throwing the numbers out. You don't want to be professional. So, that's why, yes,

you guys posted for 65, well, for me to do it and you look what everybody pay, add extra 3, 400, but be realistic. Otherwise, you just going to be a person who throws numbers and a lot of times you're not going to succeed because all they're going to mark your MC, your dad's MC, or they're just going to

simply hang up on you. So, you need to just You already know the information. You know how to talk. When you're going to have average in front of you, I think I don't know. I think you're going to become better dispatcher than everybody else who dispatching now if you really put your mind into it.

>> Yeah. >> Thinking Andre, it's like I was 18 getting this information. You're doing the right things. That's >> That's what my parents say. >> you talk on the class, I'm like Andre is like 18 and and doing this. Yeah. Yeah. I've got high hopes for you. >> Yeah, both of them. Andre and Carmen.

So, you have potential. So, let me ask you the last question. Since you are 18, would you recommend this class for the young boys and girls who don't know if they want to go to college, who wants to be actually business owners? Do you think it's a good uh start? >> Well, yeah. I mean, it depends what like

what they're doing in in their life, you know? If they're like smart and they want to put effort in this, yeah. I'll recommend to buy this course. But, if it's if it's going to be just like for fun, no. No. They have to actually pay attention. They have to like, you know, know some

people who are already doing this stuff because if you just by yourself without anything, it's going to be really hard. >> Yeah. And we had another gentleman, right? The younger guy who started, but he already quit, right? >> Yeah, that's That's kind of what I'm saying. >> homework. really into it. So, I mean, do

I feel bad for him that he paid? Well, before he signed up, I talked to him and I explained that you need to study. Even you, how many times you texted me and I said, "Well, you will need to prepare. You will need to do it, right?" I told you. Ready for that? Then pay for this

class. Otherwise, don't waste my time and my energy and yours, right? >> Yeah, you're right. Yeah. >> But, you did good job. Are we proud of Andre? Yeah. It's good. >> Carmen, you're 18, too? >> No, I'm 33. >> Oh. >> [clears throat] >> She said that >> She said that 23 she's 33.

>> She does. >> I know. >> [laughter] >> No, you're still babies. You so it's just she see my son my son is like 21 he kind of reminds me of Andre and my daughter is 25. So she's older, see? So you're like my babies. My babies. I could be your mama that pushy Eastern

European mama. >> [laughter] >> How old are you Alexa? >> How old am I? I'm >> 49. That's a 18-year-old question sir. You can [laughter] tell he's 18 I think. >> 49. How old is your mom? I would like your mom. How old is your mom? >> I think she's 46. >> Okay, a little bit younger. So you are

you the oldest child? >> I'm the only one child actually. >> Oh, okay. So you are So you are a spoiled baby, but see you're not spoiled because you want to make your own money. Good job. >> Yeah. >> Well, tell make sure you tell your mom and dad that Miss Miss Les said that I did a good

job. >> Okay. I'll make sure I'll tell them. >> Make sure you tell them. Again guys, you have my email. You guys going to receive certificates. The only thing I ask reviews, right? Because again Carmen those helps, right? When people but I don't want you just put all class was good or bad. I want you to

connect to other people, right? So Carmen for example you well, if you're looking to do some your own business maybe this is something good for you, right? Or Keisha well, if you already started and you suffered maybe it's not too late to learn. So something that you know, I just don't need like oh five

star and oh she was good or she was not good or whatever, right? Um just something so people can can connect to. I would appreciate that. But anyway proud of you. Some of you will see you I mean most of you see you Sunday for Iftar next Sunday and then safety. Okay? >> Yes, ma'am.
