Hello I have a question although u said no duallys but what’s ur opinion if u have ur own truck n trailer and sign with a company under there authority?

Nice video, can you have your own MC., and then sign on with a broker,,? So that way your MC will be aging while your leasing..just asking

Why the f*** do you have to talk so fast????

Hey I went for a dot physical and a drug test because I want to get my cdl permit and without knowing they gave me a dot drug test bc “it’s their policy” which is illegal to give a dot drug test to non cdl drivers will this come off my clearing house record?

I have a tundra 2024 I need a company who hires me to pull hot shots trailer

So im in the process of becoming an owner operator, would the pre employment drug test be for me, or my future employee(s) or both? I don't expect you that respond to an old video but thank you for that information on the clearing house i was a little confused before. Thanks!!!

You know the worst thing you can do for these new diesel engines is let them idle. It plugs up the DPF.

Hey bro. How do they calculate the age of authority? Mine is active just don’t know the exact months/weeks old.

Thanks for this awesome video

I understand 😊

Thank you so much.

I'm in trucking and family have been in the business for 50 plus years. Let's change up the JIM CROW "regulations" that divided the industry like most. We need to have the talk because the rates are still "color coded"

Why is it I’m not hearing this too well… low volume?

Learned a lot from your channel. Thanks. I would add the importance of a ranch hand or whatever brand you prefer full replacement bumper in case you hit deer, elk, whatever.

Thanks bro. You are a life saver and got my sub. I have a 26ft Non CDL box truck, I guess this would apply to me right? Even thought I’m operating interstate? Trying to avoid all the IFTA/IRP. I’m in New York.

You guys realize the only reason hot shot even exists is because companies can hire a hot shot truck cheaper than they can pay there own employees to run the trip, it should be called cheap shot instead of hot shot

great info thnx............ however i would like to throw this out there............ you can call the local PD and ask if they have a DOT officer and if so get their number. typically they have to do so many inspection a month or 6 months to keep their certs thus you might have a better chance to get one.

Where to find good company to lease

I wouldnt mind getting my cdl but i have a felony from 2008 for smuggling canabis through the bp checkpoint outside of Laredo on 35. Bans me from getting a cdl i believe. Someone please correct me if im wrong.

What did he say ? Which company built his sleeper ?

Hey man, I'm looking to lease on somewhere. I'm in SE Oklahoma but I'll go wherever I need to. I'm taking your advice on not getting my own authority too. You sound very knowledgeable and I would really like to work with you if possible.

Fraud !

bro change your name LOL

Hi Buddy, How I can contact you!

Hello. I’m a disabled veteran and considering getting into hot shotting. I currently have a desk job with the state but sometimes struggle when dealing with people. I’m pretty sure I can cover the note on the truck and trailer but I’m sure there are other expenses to float for a while. How much cash would you recommend having on hand when you’re getting started?

Excellent. Thank you ❤️

I have a cdl and flat bedding experience

You are right on! Over 25 years running my own outfit. Started with tow operation then hot shot and flatbed big trucks. If it ain’t in your blood don’t do it.! Over the road, pulling 20k , @ 75 mph , will first melt a dually transmission in short order. 6 to 10 grand to get back. After over 25+ 3500s I know a little bit. Cummins rarely quit. 10,000 on deck is max we accept on 40’ tandem dual. Forget all that hype advertisements put out. Wanna run heavy then go big truck. Scaled @ 80,000 run 75 or more all day for years. Coils and flat steel been everywhere on Freightshakers I ran.

Hello and greetings. Wish you a Good business. İs 300 horsepower truck enough for hotshot towing? Or need more

Lotta excuses coming outta this guy

Hi, are you able to consult starting up a new MC/Truck & trailer setup then once I have a solid record lease on with you next year? Thanks for all the videos you have already posted, so much wisdom helping me out

Can someone name a company please

Is there any way I could reach out and talk you? I’m also in Missouri

How would you recommend someone who has a CDL for about 3yrs to get experience in hotshot. I do want to start up my own LLC, but i lack the experience in cargo tie down. I want to own my own truck and trailer, but I don't have the funds to buy out right. I would like to run local in Florida to have weekends off. I do know to get out of debt you need to run OTR.

Im full sending it. I want to travel... i have a cdl A... i bought a new truck and trailer out right at 53... just got my mc authority and dot.. insurance is fun... florida is ridiculous... even with a clean cdl... im trying to make it where all i have mainly is fuel and insurance as overhead.

Why are we still doing these repetitive topics all the time. Come on fella, let's get some original content. 😩

I would love to work for you. Thanks for the info 👍

I’ve been at my current job 7yrs. It started out really good but I’ve had a falling out with a fellow employee that the management won’t let me get away from and I’m wanting to get into hot shotting. I have enough credit to get a truck and probably a trailer. But I need to be put to work right away so I can at least pay for my truck and trailer every month. Basically I need to cover my bills at least. What should my game plan be ? I’m talkin pick up truck and trailer and possibly a wedge for cars.

The owner of the business opinion will say lease on but lets put it this way if leasing is so great why didn't the owner lease on in the first place? Bc people want freedom and want %100 profit instead of working for someone else. if you're dead set just set your authority and if you just wanna give it a try lease on

I’m kind of confused. I have a cdl. I am already enrolled in the clearinghouse. I just got my authority to run interstate and am going to be running non cdl box truck as an owner operator. Do I need to enroll in a random drug and alcohol consortium? Love your videos, I just can’t seem to find an exact answer. Thank you!

This dude my hero

He still running this truck? How is the sleeper holding up.

Imagine taking his advice and missing out on your opportunity I’ll take the risk if I fail I can always go back to a 9-5 but if I succeed I’ll enjoy life now and later

This was great info. Thank you.

Be advised: ARTIFICIALLY aging your authority is FRAUD (which is illegal).

Well... heres my deal... and not trying to brag.... Ive been an owner operator of a tree biz for 36 years. Im 53 now... never really have got to travel out of the state as ive been working my arse off. Ive saved around 1.3 million dollars. I have zero debt... and have already purchased an f600 with a sleeper cab and a 40ft 40k gross weight gooseneck. Im in the process of filing all the necessary paperwork ect. I have my cdl A and have tons of big truck driving experience. I doubt I will make any money in the first year but i figured since everything is paid for I have a slight advantage. I just want to learn the game and put some time in. I figured if im stuck somewhere looking for another load... i can do some site seeing ect. I dont have all the answers but i have a plan. My motto since I was 17... whatever you think about most will happen.... failure isnt a option in my brain. Hopefully i can make a few bucks and see the country doing it.

How is this non cdl? Trailer is more than 10k .... please tell me what im missing.
