$5,400 DOWN ON A RENTAL?! The Call That Changed Everything | Traci FULL REACTION

Two years ago, one phone call stopped the entire stream.
A caller named Traci had just given Enterprise $5,400 DOWN on a 26’ box truck rental — and still didn’t even have a pickup date. He had no contracts. No plan. No revenue. Just hype, hope, and a massive deposit locked up in a rental trap.
That night became one of the most raw accountability moments in the history of this channel — the night I said the words that still get clipped to this day:
“F them kids. Business comes first.”
Not out of disrespect — but to wake him up to the reality that emotions don’t pay commercial bills.
Tonight, I’m going back and reacting to that full call with 2025 eyes:
What went wrong
How Enterprise’s commercial rentals REALLY work
Why large deposits destroy underprepared owners
Where Traci made fatal business mistakes
And why he didn’t even survive a full year in the game
This is not to shame.
This is to EDUCATE the next wave before they repeat the same disaster.
If you are:
Thinking about renting a box truck
Considering Enterprise, Penske, or Ryder
Starting with limited capital
Or relying on hype instead of math…
This episode is REQUIRED viewing.
📞 At the end of the show, phone lines will open for live Box Truck Hotline calls.
