In an interview on SVTV Africa, David explained that one person contacted him to take four pallets from New York to Utah and he charged $4000

“I got a load from a company called TQL and they paid $4500 for only three pallets and my truck can take 14 pallets. I got another load of four pallets for another $4000 and I got one pallet for another $4000. But it’s going the same way.”

David said he started the business based a recommendation from a friend. He started with a single-axle truck and bought a second truck after a month in the business.

He said the business is so lucrative that he makes at least $5000 in the week that business is slow.
