My brother in law and I just bought our truck and we are looking at trailers to buy. And your video sealed the deal for our decision!!! Thank you and I’ll be checking out all your videos for how to help on hot shot work. We are brand new and very motivated. Thank you for all the info!!!
Hey when are you going to do a video how you load and unload enclosed trailer..
Good to hear from you! Happy holidays!
Hey love the channel great content and really informative. The questions I have is
1. Can you be home everyday in this field if not what is the home time ?
2. How much can I make w/ a 6 car enclosed trailer ?
3. Which truck would you recommend to get ?
4. After expenses like average how much can you bring home after expenses?
Good job brother!!!
Thanks for the video.
I'm CDL and thinking of my own biz,
to give me more control over my life.
(and hopefully more income)
what kind of things you haul with an enclosed trailer and what size trailer is best to start with
Hey Rene, first off great vids, been a subscriber since you had like 1k subs.
I just got a used 2016 Ram 5500 single cab w/sleeper and a 52' Sundowner all aluminum enclosed 3 car hauler. I'll be starting out there hopefully in about a week or two. Finally, getting all my ducks in a row.
I've got a dispatcher I'll be working with and only heard good things about them, that's why I going with them, but if for some reason it doesn't work out with them, I'll definitely be hitting you up for some services, if you'll be available to take on another carrier.
I also agree that we all
truckers/carriers, veterans or rookies (like my self), need to stick together like a brotherhood to get the best prices we can. I'm in it to make good profits and not just scrape by. I left a good secure and great paying career to pursue this new one.
Be safe out there and hopefully we can chat sometime in the near future. Thanks bro

We need to get as many subscribe to this channel as possible so we all unite and change these low price we all face!
Awesome job bro 👍🏾
How many enclosed trailers do you see every day? That's why they get more business, there are not that many. But a ton of snow birds prefer open transport because it's cheaper. And these 9 car haulers can make more money!
hey great video. I'm located in NY and I wanna start carrying but I don't know where to start . Do you know or have a list of things to do from a to z before I can hit the road ? hopefully register as one of your carriers

I think that you use a Class 5 hitch, tow behind set up, if I am understanding correctly. Do you encounter any trailer sway issues? Do you lose any towing capacity using a tow behind set-up?
I’m guessing that the main advantage of a tow behind is that you free up space for some partial freight, or an extra vehicle on your truck bed?
Whats up Rene!! Got 2 questions. But before all, thanks for all the videos!
1. What kind of license plates should i get to work all states? Also, would that plate be the same for the truck and trailer , or would it be different ones?
2. How does the paper work process from picking up and dropping off a vehicle??
3. Do i need a TX dot # if i got MC number and USDOT
I guess it was 3 questions hahaha
OR what do i need to get onto your dispatch? Does it have to be under your numbers? Trying to understand everything
Thanks!!!!!!!
Good stuff Rene! I'm out of West Palm and I am looking to get into hotshoting and was curious if i can do non CDL with 2 car enclosed. I have my CDL but i dont want to be restricted to the driving hours. Thanks a lot for the content and hope i get your take on my idea👊👊
Idiot, electronic log books
@@joemeyer2726 who are you talking to?
@@catalindark turbatu
Why would you call me an idiot?
@@catalindark idiotic…”restricted to the driving hours”, log books apply regardless if CDL or non-CDL, you know that if you have CDL
Could you use an enclosed 20 feet gooseneck to transport freight/cargo/ pallets instead of hauling cars? I want to use an enclosed gooseneck instead of them sprinter vans ppl be doing.
I can only drive Friday - Sunday, is worth trying to hotshot?
Thanks for the info bro
Suggestions on dispatch services??

Thank you for these videos we are converting to hotshot, from 53ft dryvan, our mc115701 and would be very interested in dispatching.
If I like this type of work I can up grade to a bigger truck jus tryin to get in.
To further clarify, your end customers are the car owners who want to have their nice cars transported to their vacation homes?
Hey man I just started my Auto transport company. Who would you recommend as good dispatcher?
