You made that girl’s day with that $200 gift card. Happy New Years brother!
Alex get those ramps under the trailer so they come out with the pull of a pin. They are driving me nuts😄
Dam, sounds like you would be better off being the Dispatcher $555. To book 1 Load he probably made $2000. In one day with no overhead but a phone bill!
That's what I wanted to write. Sitting in an office making phone calls and earning way more than the drivers. Wow.
When you can facilitate business, you're golden 🤷♂️ 15% is a great incentive to line em up.
Shit at 15 percent he should be booking better paying loads
Most dispatchers are 10% are less this dude is charging 15 and he hardly ever gets more then $2/mile
Merry Christmas Alex. You did good at Denny’s. That’s what the whole “giving gifts” is really about. Also the run down at the end was really helpful. Hope to see more like this
Pro tip, straps are required to be on the inside of the rub rail ,just a heads up from a retired oversized load hauler
So they don't RIP? Could you elaborate?
@@H.D.ventures Yes. So if something hits your trailer the straps don't cut.
@@H.D.ventures yes rub rail protects you're strap from being cut ,turn J hook over under rail steel on steel, or on frame ,a picky DOT will ticket you, this guy's a CZcams trucker his numbers are way off
Damion is absolutely right !!
Pro tip don't listen to this guy XD
Great guy always helping fellow hot shot drivers,was a nice thing you did for that young girl at the restaurant .Have a great day.
Nice load and awesome job helping that stranded driver and giving that girl one of your gift cards!
Nothing makes your heart drop like hearing"you're transmission is completely busted"
ALWAYS following the golden rule... Alex that is Awesome!!
Alex, You're REAL deal Hot Shot Trucker. Numbers don't lie!👏
Alex I sincerely appreciate the breakdown I am just getting started and is good to see that somebody who's professional in the game co signs on something quick that's under $2 a mile thanks for the explanation
Alex, bro your getting shafted with that dispatcher...15% is way too high!
That's what I came to say, that seems high. I know guys getting dispatched for far less money.
I have my dispatcher for 5 %
Alex you sir are a great person. Watching you help people out is great. I myself help everybody can as well
Straps to the inside of the rub rails👍🏼🤠👍🏼
That’s no longer required. Law changed 2006-08
@@larrythompson8630 From the FMCSA website -----------------Proper Use of Tiedowns
The new regulations require each tiedown to be attached and secured in a manner that prevents it from becoming loose, unfastening, opening or releasing while the vehicle is in transit. All tiedowns and other components of a cargo securement system used to secure loads on a trailer equipped with rub rails must be located inboard of the rub rails whenever practicable. Also, edge protection must be used whenever a tiedown would be subject to abrasion or cutting at the point where it touches an article of cargo. The edge protection must resist abrasion, cutting and crushing.
Loved seeing you give away that gift car, the world needs more people like you!!
Your kind of a spaz but I absolutely love your videos and your HUGE heart! You always help folks even when they don't request help. That's a great quality attribute to you. Keep up the good work brother and by all means stay safe!!
Bro your comment killed me 😆🤣😂, but he is a GREAT DUDE for sure!
Great job helping that gal out, happy holidays and safe travels.
Alex you are an amazing person your always helping someone out that jest goes to show there are still good people out there in the world love your videos man keep up the good work brother 💯
Alex videos doing real good.
like how your breaking everything down.
I like rideing along with you. Good job!
This guy is so positive I love it 🤘
So much to learn thank you Alex
Wow there goes Alex helping out his hotshot homies again. Your such a nice guy! Sucks about the transmission for that driver. He looked really lost not having triangles out.
Happy New Year, and God Bless!!!
Love your videos Alex. Blessings & Love. Robert
Alex, thank you for being a good dude.
Loaded out of there bout 3 weeks ago. Was just one 25' pallet of that steel also going to cali. Good load.
Nice Alex 👍!! Happy New Year!!!
One more profitable load in the books i hope you had a great Christmas with the family
As always God bless you and stay safe out there 🙋♂️ 🇬🇧
ALWAYS learn something from EL JEFE! Good video with good pro tips. Thanks Alex.
Appreciate the breakdown!
Alex I gotta say that you are good samaritan
Good on you for stopping by to help a fellow hotshot!
"The second" chevron plant. My grandparents live there. Nice place.
Isn’t Chevron in Manhattan Beach too?
Thank you toe your a wonderful generous man
To give with LOVE means you will be be or your are already BLESSED!
Well Alex so much content. I have been watching all your video and I have to say you are one hell of a guy. I would work my ass off for you in a heartbeat. My hat goes off to you Sir.
Finally!!! A new video!
I lost a transfer case like that outside of Salina, KS in the middle of winter one time. Glad my truck still ran to stay warm while waiting 2 hours for a tow truck at midnight.
Just a couple of extra tips. When placing the load on the trailer try and have them stack the orders where the bracing lines up. This way the top load isn't putting pressure on the lower material. And if you're stuck placing you ratchets on the material or load keep some squares of carpet in your toolbox, bed, or on the trailer to place between them.
Your going to RIP your head off without a headache rack or protected front trailer. Straps are too light for many loads. 30yrs hotshot oil and gas or whatever. You have 5yrs now. Look for permanent contracts for a year now. Book your own loads. Not just calling centers. Do some door knocking. Meds, food, PPE pay big now. You getting there lol. Good job! PS. Get a real truck! Min. Volvo, international, no air, less maintenance, STRONGER, same price as a one ton lol. Inclosed trailer with heat and cold! Get good suspension!
Alex you’re a nice guy! God bless you
Good man 😇👍🏻 be safe
Good info. Nice guy👍
You are a good man
Thats awesome Alex.
Load Mizer will be proud seeing you give those gift cards away... lmaoooooo happy new year Alex
Dope what u doing with the gift cards. 💪🏾
Awsome Job Alex
I thought straps and chains go inside the rub rail ?
Good guy tow piglet
Thats a good spot to keep your ramps till you need them.
Your a good man!
Very nice the gift cards. Keep doing what you do
place those ramps underneath the trailer =P
Hopefully you read this! Last year I was working for a private company hauling culvert pipes with the hotshot trucks and we also had a on-site fabricator! I noticed your Your ramps or an issue having the strap them down and move them when needed! I would suggest having somebody weld some hooks or brackets on the upper part of your trailer on the driver and passenger side where it makes a V so that you can pull it a ramp on each side he just kind of hang out there over the hooks and then you strap it to the hook area so if you were looking Toward the back of your truck while standing on the trailer your ramps would be on each side of your platform on the upper part of your trailer and you can still turn and not hit your ramps against the cab I wish I could draw it but that’s a pretty easy fix for your situation
Alex spreading the Xmas cheer dropping gift cards on people and stopping for his fellow drivers. He's got the pay it forward Karma flowing!!! Keep on trucking brother.
HAPPY NEW YEAR mon
Changing times! Grab a inclosed trailer heat and cold! 30yrs hotshot.
You are exelent person
Wow Alex that's good run...$$$$$
Wow that was very nice of you to give that young girl the gift card! Good man!
Nice to see you in Anthony TX.
Man that's too much I don't care what kind of dispatcher he is you're crazy 15% I saw that same load for 3500 yeah he got you 200. My dispatcher gave me options that same load or UPS truck I took the UPS truck took it to Kansas for 1,400 he only charged me 7% you're crazy 15% and then you're factoring 3.5% probably that's a lot of money you're giving away. You may need to rethink about your dispatcher
True
Yeah I thought he said it by mistake 15% shit he can do it himself for that, that's alot I heard ppl cry about 10% but 15%🤦🏽♂
Shit how can I be a dispatcher ? I'd take way less then that for payment.
I started a hot shot company as well brand new dude, out of California lol and my dad works at the oil refinery in el Segundo lol it just cracked me up lol I always watch your videos man it’s great content
Any tips on someone lookin to do the same out of fresno
Hi do a video on how you wrap your excess strap. Looks clean, tight and professional.
3:19 This is a big problem with the 3rd gen transmissions. The 80lb transfercase is unsupported so it puts a huge strain on the end of the transmission. Genos Garage sells a $100 mount for the transfercase. Thanks Chrysler!
I enjoy the adventures, Alex! I am curious on how you are able to tarp loads so tightly and cleanly. I will never be able to be a commercial driver, but any information will be helpful for personal loads. Thanks!
EL Segundo where the Sewer Meets The Sea !!
Alex, you need to get a ham radio tech license to keep you busy! As much as you love to talk it could be fun in your down time. LOL. Love your vids.
Alex
Good morning
Hope you had a good Christmas with your family
Regards
Carlos Aguirre
Ewww Denny’s. Nice video. Thanks again for that advice when I was stuck In Laramie, WY. You saved my ass!!! Yes that was me...Brodie
Nice video!! What about a video on “cost to run”
That transmission was insane.... Dodge owners they'll never get it😂🤣😂
Love your channel. Great videos. I apologize in advance if you have already done a video on this but could you show how you secure your excess strap after you tighten down your straps? They look very nice and professional. Also maybe show some tips and tricks on tarping. Thank you in advance and if you have already done this, would you please provide a link?
Alex keep on hauling bro
That thumbnail tho!
Some states say your binders ( chains or straps) have to be behind the rub rail . So I have a welding shop put a flat bar on either side of the trailer . Why because if you did RUB against something your binders wouldn't not get pulled off .
Diamond c is brand of stepdeck for hot shot
You could put winch track and sliding winches and a strap rail on the opposite side to hook the strap hooks to on the trailer, and not have to worry about ratchet buckles being in contact with the load product
Or buy a PJ which offers that option. Big Tex isn’t that sophisticated!
Put pad or old rug or thick cardboard behind rachets
Alex, any videos on the harping aspect ? Let me know! God bless!
Nice!! :-)
Hey Alex what's up.. awesome job keep up the good work and them loads moving.. I have a question about when you say about the time on driving and how long do you have to sleep.. thank man. Maybe see you around am not far from Harrisburg Pennsylvania.. am thinking about trying to start moving loads..
pro tip just buy Corner Protector no need for all that extra jazz
I was a Chevron electrician at the Richmond Ca refinery for 11 years and then transferred to the Chevron Pascagoula Ms refinery for a year
I work at chevron Pascagoula now. Been there over 14 years.
@@Bushy556 I was a electrician. Transferred in 2019 to Pascagoula. I was a living out at Presley’s outing. Unfortunately my wife needed to get back to California to take care of her mom. So I left chevron and started hotshot trucking but failed. Now I bought a semi and making a killing
@@cztrucking1559 congrats man
Check out that trailer built for hotshot but it's a instead of wasting neck of trailer u got deck space and has ramps to be able to load car up on it I can't remember the brand name but it's a good one got video on CZcams of it
Dang that dispatcher is making some money
Dodge and Ram are AWESOME trucks, but those transmission except for the Aisin and manuals are glasshouses. I personally prefer the Duramax/Allison combo which I have.
You don't need to pull the driveshaft because it is a 4x4 and you can put the transfer case in neutral and tow it all day long. It has a pump driven off the output shaft.
My name is Alex too. As a person who see that it's not enough good people I take time to recognize those that are. Good job with the gift cards. Maybe I'll see you one the road one day
🙏🏻
Charity starts at the truck stop!
Can or have you done a video about the difference between a Mega Cab and long bed thanks for the great information.
You just answered your own question.
You made her year, Alex! Do you (or anyone else for that matter) know of any resources for someone wanting to do small transports for websites like uship legally? I want to move smaller items like home furnishings, motorcycles, tow-aways, etc. but want to make sure I do things by the book. Thanks!
Pretty sure I saw you at a rest area yesterday.. I was driving by and saw a truck identical to yours with a gooseneck
This is a tough business
did you look into the more ride independent suspention for your tire problems
Nice of you passing out those $200 gift cards.
15% is completely insane. standard is around 5-7% with your own authority. 10% if you are leased onto the dispatch company. Wild
It’s called a transmission housing
dispatcher is working alex like a horse plus the 15%
