A DAY IN THE LIFE OF HOTSHOT BREAKDOWNS WITH ME IN 2024! CAN YOU HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!
Come with me as we tackle what it takes to quickly handle a breakdown in the hotshot trucking world in 2024. A backup truck is everything, and sometimes a shop / mobile mechanic will not properly diagnose the issue. You can easily end up wasting time and money. Decisions are everything in hotshot trucking. One wrong move, money is thrown away. Through it all we have to keep God first and ten toes down.

Having to get repairs over the road will slow down your week, so you most definitely have to plan for it, and sometimes things aren't done right the first time. In the mix of routing myself to the repair shop, I was due for an oil change and had to find a place that sold the oil I use. I also uncover places you can get your truck washed without having to go to a major truck wash, i.e. Blue Beac...

Sweet rig man.
preciate it!
That mic is terrible bro but I commend the information
haha i got a new one
All the time or just the f350
Do you still use the van
its the backup, so when need be
Hope everything is ok
preciate you reaching out! many moving parts just been trying to put it all together; vids will be coming back soon!
What’s wrong with containers? I haul them.
theyre just not for me and my equipment; its cool if you like them though; bad mpg for hotshot; rates for them arent what they used to be, so theyre kinda pointless for me; hard on load on the truck; and if ur midwest/ your securement isnt on point, that wind will take you if youre not careful
Big man where do you get this set up done
@@J-Hometransportation the driveway haha
@@hotshotwithme wait you did it yourself? If so I can well and a carpenter, I can do it
@J-Hometransportation yessir! It was a family build to say the least! All in the OGs driveway.. his vision done on a budget
Where are the videos at???
haha otw!
Post trip and pre trip inspections are important. Here’s to you doing it right
3 hrs max for water pump replacement
For sharing what you did, I subbed bud. Ty!
Pre trip the rental😂😂 man u got that owner op mentality. Good to see u back
😂😂😂 preciate it fam!
Dot ever bother you with the truck being deleted?
no sir
Do you use a garmin trucker gps?
that and truckers path i run both
If your trying to idle for long periods like overnight... ect
These trucks hate to idle... not good for them. Id think about getting a small portable ac unit that has heat and a small generator.
i know; i barely idle; and small generator easier said than done with my setup and how much stuff i already carry with me
No
I subscribed bro can you give specs on woody is this a chevy van converted into a hotshot im trying to build one it looks like a chevy express van from the front
13 chevy express; 6.6l duramax 4500; rwd; cutaway from a used ambulance
I have a recommendation he in Montgomery, I drop my truck every time I'm off the road. His prices are the best, great services, he keeps alot of HOTSHOTs rolling.
@@onpointjones6064 shop name??
Did you get it fix
yessir!
What broker was that on the load you secured. I liked the eay that one looked

@DaKiddSkyy 2013 chevy express 4500 diesel (ambulance cutaway)

Keep moving forward man. If you’re ever down in FL an need a hand hit me up.
preciate that a lot 💯🙏🏿
Haha those are cicadas, love the energy
never want an encounter ever again 😂
what headset is that?
i have a blue parrot bt450 i think rn
Lol breakdown with me. Def should be the new name 😂

Effort becomes strength and mentality forges it all together. Stay safe and blessed.
preciate that!
Yooo my man’s back. It’s been a lil min but happy to see you rolling again.

@@hotshotwithme yo you had me dying💀 when you said you should name the channel breakdown with me 🤣🤣🤣
hahaha mann thats how i feel sometimes; ridiculous
Glad to see you back

Why not fit an existing sleeper cab to the cutaway van cab?
@@markstevens1729 more expensive
Just got another subscriber! Great info!
ayyyee! thank you!
Brother I love how you incorporate your faith in God bro we need more people like you who are not ashamed of the Gospel may God Bless you and over flow your cup bro stay safe out there
preciate that and same to you and yours! 💯
Salute Michael. Blessings brother.
likewise! 🙏🏿
Glad to see you're back my brother.
@@FrankSonHaulingLLC yessir!
Man I love the video I am so close to getting into it right now I got a truck that I'm selling to get all the other legal stuff done and then I'm going to be right there out there with you keep up the videos man I love them I've already got several people here in Texas big companies that said that they would use me and like you said Texas is a big state I'm hoping that I can make it here locally but I'm not scared to go out
I think one of the most important things to remember, too, is what Jesus said in Mathew 6:25-34. (Don’t worry about tomorrow and don’t worry about all your needs cause you know God will provide) I know I need to think on this as an owner operator. Keep up the good work brother!
@@jrem4283 straight facts.. I have to be reminded too all the time
The new set up is dope bro
preciate you 🙏🏿
🙏🏽
Hot shot ain't trucking 😂. Where's the bed to sleep on? 😴 I own a truck stop and have a big sigh that reads "NO HOT SHOTS OR BOX TRUCKS TAKE YOUR A$$ TO PILOT" "YOURE MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Truck stop not up there ?😵
Place a fuel tank on back of your truck . Less stopping time required . I use to laugh at my grandfather for having one but it save time and money . The newer ones pump has you need them automatically . The old ones you needed to manually do it .
Ridin Dirty😂
