The name is Enis and the reason is to help us all succeed
The year was 2001 and I was only 21 when I came to the USA as a refugee from Bosnia. After getting my first job at a lumberyard, my boss suggested I take the CDL-B test and they would cover all the expenses. Naturally, I accepted and I received my CDL-A, a few years later in 2006. After being a company driver, an owner-operator, and a dispatcher for a few months, in 2014 I decided to form my own trucking authority, together with a business partner. After 6 1/2 years of successful operations, we split up, and in late 2020, my new company was born. In these 7 years, I booked, and successfully managed from pick up to delivery; from invoicing to payment of over 10,000 loads.
I started working with owner-operators and my own trucks, and I felt like I should start sharing my knowledge with the rest of the world. I uploaded my first video to YouTube in September 2021 and I quickly went from 0 to 15000 subscribers. Now, my mission is to help you achieve the same success so we can all grow together in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.
You are your own boss!
