Sidney Tarver was signed by the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2011.

He spent around four months with the team before being cut and was picked up by the Jacksonville Jaguars in December that year.

Sadly, after just a year in the league, he suffered a career-ending injury that cut short his NFL dream.

However, Sidney was determined to turn things around and set up his new business, People First Logistics.

Speaking on his YouTube channel he claimed to be making £39,000 a week through his business.

The 34-year-old explained that he secured a contract for his company as a delivery service provider (DSP) for Amazon.

Many customers might not realise that Amazon does not own its own fleet of trucks and instead contracts deliveries out to third-party companies.

Sidney said: “Since the pandemic e-commerce has been one of the biggest industries.

“But guess who has to deliver the packages – yours truly.

“And that’s not just for Amazon…it’s for anybody who sells a product and needs it delivered, it comes through a truck.”

Using his “15 years of supply chain experience”, he now claims that the business breaks six figures every year.

He also earns from his instructional courses on how to start your own trucking and logistics business in just three months.

His teaching profile reads: “Drawing upon his experiences as a professional athlete, Sidney founded his visionary company, People First Logistics.

“With Sidney at the helm, the company has delivered over 5 million packages, operated 20,000 routes, and fostered employment opportunities for over 400 individuals.

“Sidney Taver’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of ambition, resilience, and a tireless dedication to pursuing dreams.”
