Great information! I own a dispatch and logistics company and Im always listening and watching youtube to sharpen my skills and learn what drivers like and dont like as well as finding out what working and what does not. Great video!
Thanks for info!! Looking to get into this business as a part time gig (after retirement).
Great info. And you deliver it thoroughly and plainly. Looking for my first load this week on a non cdl hotshot with 32 ft trailer. Loads disappear fast on tbe board and mostly partials. First couple of days, havent able to book anything. Partly because of new authority and some just go fast. How about a video about when you booked the first load ? or better first week.
How is the trucking going is it going better?
Thank you for this video! Great info!
Great Video.
Thank You
Hope it helps!
As always, great video. It would be a good idea to make a video on how to deal with the sleepiness while driving, and the loneliness 🤔?
That’s an interesting idea. Let me think about that on’s for a little while. Really appreciate the support and feedback though?
I've been wondering where you have been this week!
Grinding my friend!
Great vids
Appreciate it Justin!
What's the best way to get direct customers? Can you create a video only on that topic?
Great videos!
Thank you! I’ll see what I can do for you!
Hey was up man, great info. How to know what to price the loads?
Hello good evening Excellent videos I need to know if with my CDL it is better to use a RAM 5500 truck or a RAM 3500 ??????
That completely depends on how you drive and how you want to use your vehicle.
Quick question can you use a single car trailer to haul freight. Like a 8x20 with the fenders.
How do you keep it together drive so much? I drive 2 hrs and I'm so over it!
Hello sir I have a question. New to hot shoting and just trying to do everything right
On that trailer how much pay load can you haul ?
Is it the total 9990 lbs or is that the total weight= load +plus trailer weight to total 9990 .
Another words how much net weight can you haul on that trailer you mentioned?
Great question, hopefully that question can be answered soon.
Man your channel is growing big time! Thanks to you, we have been rolling now for over a year. I appreciate the videos buddy
And try and stay in the freight Lanes.
Great videos. By chance do you have your CDL and are you staying with Non CDL loads from here on out with your company?
You only need a cdl if your load goes over 10000
I’m very new to this. What is “dead head”
I'm sorry but Craig passed in Sept 2021. He would be upset knowing there are questions and individuals thinking he is blowing them off so that's why I'm sharing this info.
@@dougrobynshipley2476 I’m so sorry to hear that. I wish you and your loved one the best. Prayers up 🙏
How do you like the dovetail? Do you drag it a lot? Would you recommend that or a straight deck?
So the dovetail is low and it’s scraped a couple times. Just have to be mindful of the approach and departure angles. As far as a recommendation, it really depends on what you plan to haul. The dovetail does weigh more but makes loading vehicles and equipment a LOT easier.
Are you home every night. How far do you travel within or outside of Missouri? I’m thinking of getting into hotshotting myself. I’m from St. Louis. Mo
How much can I charge a direct customer per mile?
How many miles make for day?
Hey many is 20 k enough to get into this work?
That’s a very subjective question that is impossible to answer. I’m sorry.
hey buddy. dis regard my CZcams name. it some how linked it to a playlist of songs in teenager years.
what kinda insurance do i tell my insurance guy to quote me for, and what ball park can I expect to pay for a not CDL. iv had my friend say he paid 27k in 6 months.
im self employed and want to hot shot during slow times of the year being i already have the truck, snd i want an excuse to buy a diamond trailer like the one you ysnk around lol
1,000,000 liability 100,000 cargo coverage, My down payment was $1800 and $900 a month. New authority.
If your insurance guy doesn't already know what type of insurance you need, you might have the wrong insurance guy.
