I watched this video when you first dropped it. Wasn’t fully ready to start. Now I came back to watch it again because I just filed for my authority a couple days ago. Got my dot # / mc # yesterday. So it’s time for me to start shopping for insurance as well. Also I’m in southern Cali as well 😬😅.
@@HotshotAdventures I can’t remember if I have your info to reach out but I do want to run Something by you if you don’t mind?? Best way to contact you ?
I'm in love with you not because you had curly corn long hair! But cause how thoughtful you aré... It's second post I watched from you.... I would love to pick up as a independent freelance knowledge.... WoW.. thanks for exellente content and speaking fluid lenguaje, with out high speach...
Be careful about the 40 w/ mega ramps for cars. Reason being is I started with a PJ trailet with mega ramps and cars werent easy to drive onto. If you look at her trailer, its lower to the ground than a regular flatbed gooseneck. So just be careful. You may need to add additional ramps.
Hi and thanks for the advice . I’m in Memphis and I’m about to start driving for my self . Will they give quotes without any money down ? I want to get quotes before I start buying equipment.
Great video content! I'm subscribed. I've been driving commercially for 20 years. Have been an owner operator for about 12 years in Class 8 big rigs. Just got my authority about 10 months ago. I wanna jump into hotshot biz because I'm tired of the 18 wheelers. How much of a difference was their as far as your operations and booking loads after your first 90 days?
Appreciate all the info! Currently a CDL student in CA looking to get into hotshot already have authority under a family member but what insurance co. do you use for no experience new CDL holder for your hotshot setup. Thinking about doing enterprise as well, continuing to do research. Thank you for the content !!
My granddaughter and I had a question cuz we're both looking at getting into this. When you mentioned that you have to send in your insurance compliance or whatever it is you call that that you have to do that for every single load that you accept or do you have to just send that to the carrier or the hell I don't know what the hell I'm talking about
Just found your channel and subscribed .where do you find the insurance company scoring ? Awesome info . Going to go watch your videos from the beginning .how are you doing your carrier packet? Thanks again
Love your videos they are very informative and helpful. I have a quick question about hotshot insurance . Is it true that if you run local with in your state , you will pay a lot less for your premium insurance? .thank you very much for all your info
Thank you for your great videos! I am looking to get into hot shot driving. I have my CDL since 2004, and want to start my own business. Is it hard to find work? How much money do you need to operate? Thank you for videos!
Hey I just applied for my own authority for the last 4 months I have been driving under someone’s authority thank you for the tips on the insurance Is the insurance that expensive?
I dont think there is a special board for bumper full loads. If you want to haul freight, I would use truckstop or Dat, depending on your area in the we country. If you haul cars, use central dispatch. Congrats!
Hi ! Great video, I just happened to come across your chanel and it's very informative, there's a frase that you use during the video and also I've seen it on the comments, and it's "new authority" can you explain how the term it's being use or what does it mean in the industry ? Thank you so much !
Good morning, so what I'm getting from the video is that, I have to have my insurance before I get my DOT, and MC number? Or vise versa? Can I email you personally?
I’m from California n I’m having a trouble finding insurance can anybody send me a number or somewhere to call insurance if the only thing I need to start the business
You do not need to go through a broker. For example, if you went with progressive, there are many brokers that will set you up with progressive, but you can call progressive directly and get insurance through them, and save yourself the broker fees :) but shop around, because brokers may have a better rate for you. Never know til you shop around
And you can get your dot #, but it will not go active until you have commercial insurance. So my advice is to not apply for a dot # until you are prepared to purchase insurance. Dot # will be "pending" until you show them you have insurance. They give you approx. 4 weeks to get your insurance, then they cancel your pending dot number and you have to pay another $300 to get a dot # and then you have another 4 weeks to upload your insurance docs. Hope this helps, let me know how things go!
Hey I have a new authority for hotshot trucking and is based out in California. Im having trouble with finding a insurance company. Do you have nay suggestions?
If they are going to charge you a fee, it should be wrapped up into the quote, not a surprise fee you have to pay extra for later, after you've already put your down-payment.
@@HotshotAdventures will do, progressive did gave me the contact to an agent in my area but unfortunately they told me the same thing that because I'm new authority and new Cdl.....but thanks any, appreciate the video and the response.
@@nathanl6450 You can use Progressive but their quotes are very high. I had mine done by an agent who went Into the marketplace and got me the coverage I needed. And he had very good quotes. If you need a referral message me on Whatsapp at +1-872-400-2600 or email me at Ryanmarceloumar@gmail.com
I wouldn't suggest progressive. Also, if they are the only company you've called, I strongly suggest spending hours, days if needed on looking for the best insurance at the best price. It's all going to be expensive, your new driver, and your company is new..the point is to keep your nose clean and it will get better. I dont know if this guy has good insurance, but I approved his comment to give you another avenue to look into. Hope it helps.
If you have Progressive Insurance' you can go online and do it yourself 24/7

Looking at a 40ft big Tex w mega ramps thought just about car hauling but it’s better to be versatile

Car hauling rates are insane

I used Progressive. Non-CDL hotshot in north dakota is 8k cdl hotshot is almost 13k. It will be higher in california.
is down for long-term maintenance, beginning April 9, 2020. Purchases are unavailable at this time.
Why don’t you keep a copy of the certificate of insurance on file or in your email?
It has to have the Brokers name as the Certificate Holder. It changes from broker to broker.
My granddaughter and I had a question cuz we're both looking at getting into this.

Whats the best load board for bumperpull loads you think?
I have a 2500 ram
Just got my authority
I dont think there is a special board for bumper full loads. If you want to haul freight, I would use truckstop or Dat, depending on your area in the we country. If you haul cars, use central dispatch.

i will be greatly appreciated if you recommend an insurance broker. Thanks a lot
I was really researching this and was okay with all the expenses until I saw how expensive insurance is
Lol
Yup
I’m from California n I’m having a trouble finding insurance can anybody send me a number or somewhere to call insurance if the only thing I need to start the business
it costs me 10$ for extra insurance for 150000 each day
g ghenry which company did u go wit?
@@shesobossi8194 progressive
Do I have to go thru a broker for insurance.
Also once I obtain my DOT & MP # do I have to get insurance right away?

Hey I have a new authority for hotshot trucking and is based out in California. Im having trouble with finding a insurance company. Do you have nay suggestions?
Any luck?
& also does brokers charge fees for filing with FMCSA or DMV ?
If they are going to charge you a fee, it should be wrapped up into the quote, not a surprise fee you have to pay extra for later, after you've already put your down-payment.
Good Info,i hear Progressive is the cheapest Insurance in the USA.🇺🇸🤔if pay in cash up for a year.
Progressive quotes are very high.
How much is the weekly spend for your business?
Expenses vary from week to week bud
Is there any percentage the broker supposed to take from the premium as a fee ?
Broker fees are usually flat rate
Yeah right my broker fee is ALWAYS AS MUCH I CAN GET. Sorry if you are a horrible negotiator I will take that for my financial advantage.
Do you have social media?
Facebook for now
I was told only progressive will insure beginners? Is this true?
Not true, there are many companies who will insure start up. Depends on the state, you should call them and get a quote.
@@HotshotAdventures who would you recommend for insurance in the state of Florida? I’m getting into car hauling
Hi,what insurance company do you use?
Who is your broker?
