    Glad to see you put a video out... I was getting worried for a second and I was going to put a missing persons add on the side of the carton of milk...!!!!
    Oh wait they don't do that anymore...
    Next your missing I will put a missing ad on a billboard...!!!
    Glad to see you guys back... Stay safe... I'm running 2 months behind because my business partner was diagnosed with cancer... !!!
    I want to take him with me on a test drive with my equipment ( empty of course ) so at least he can ride hotshot one last time...!!!!
    Stay safe out there guys and don't give up... It's going to rough for a little bit but it will get better..!!! Got to stay positive...!!!!

    I'm thinking with the companys closing down, and the short run electric units, this is going to boost the market for hotshoting back towards the original call for "hotshots". Nice spread of your company though. 👍👍👍

    Nice addition to your line of equipment. I have become an avid supporter and wish you all the best in your ventures. Question, have you run into any problems when delivering loads whereby no forklift or equipment is available to offload cargo? When this happens, how do you resolve the problem particularly when you have other partials on your trailer to deliver. Thanks as always. You’re an inspiration to many of us out here and your Channel is both coaching and motivating people.

      We have run into that problem a couple of times one time we were able to off load the freight with a tractor that was on site. They said we could use it. The second time it happened we kinda just had to eat it and wait until the next day. We did call our broker and get more money. Our second drop was 10 min away so we just called them and told them we would be there in the morning and we went to pick it up in the morning then delivered the other load right after. Thank you for supporting the channel and showing love as well. We couldnt make all this content without the support of you guys.

    i have about same set-up .. i would recommend putting a flat solar panel on top like i did this way always have power in trailer no matter where you are .. also can use power from trailer to run other things if needed .. my solar powers everything i need on truck and trailer even air conditioning fridge and SAT

  • @johnthomson9558
    @johnthomson9558 Před rokem +2

    nice purchase, a solar charger to prime the batteries would be good, can you add a airbag lift axle to cut down on tyre wear when empty, and can you drive a forklift inside the trailer to haul other types of freight..

    I am a few days late, nothing new there. When you get all the new tires go ahead and put new heavy duty shocks on the trailer and get the new tires balanced. I am like you, I don't like a goose neck hitch, I just think a fifth-wheel rides so much better. I would think you're going to be running a lot of coast to coast on this new job.

    Really for the most part a enclosed doesn't pay much better than a open trailer honestly!
    Also on new cars and the exotis you have to use over the tire straps.Which means you will have to put ore e trac down!

    • @adventuresintrucking1995
      @adventuresintrucking1995  Před rokem

      E trac already in the floor two rows and down the walls.. also this trailer gives us more flexibility to no only do flatbed.. also think it depends on if youre getting cars off load board or direct shippers

      @@adventuresintrucking1995 i see the e trac but that is either not wide enough or too wide to go over the tires.

    19.5 tires....... get rid of them 16's...... real truck tires last a lot longer and take more abuse.

    • @adventuresintrucking1995
      @adventuresintrucking1995  Před rokem +1

      I see where youre coming from but that wont work for us for a few reasons. This trailer wasn’t optioned with 19.5s. We dont need 19.5s because the weight carrying capacity isnt near what we deal with on our flatbed. Lastly we need to keep the profile of the trailer low as possible considering the type of cars we want to put in it. So 19.5s just wont do for us. We do have 14 ply commercial tires on it now however but I definitely see your point in some situations just not this one
