I've been researching hotshotting for about a year, have watched days of TH-cam videos.
Michael's genuine motivation is to educated and share his experiences, not just in this for a few TH-cam bucks.
I had a couple questions for Michael, he responded within a couple hours via email, then called me the next day exactly when he said he would and spent probably 45 minutes on the phone with me, sharing & educating me. I couldn't be more grateful.
Thanks again dude, I'll let you know the next time I'm up in Cheeseland.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it it. Funny part is i dont even upload videos fast enough to make money. And i have never broken their $100 revenue rule. So the videos are truly educational. Not for profit.
I like how you get right to the point! Good info

What is your email address?
Thank You !
Love it. Thank you. I'm binge watching all of your vids! I promise I'm not a groupie! Lol. Great knowledge of your profession. What does your shirt say?
Hope the vids help, also shirt says jesus, and praising you is my passion
@@TruckingTruth awesome! A believer! Even better reason to sub. Content helps a lot. In the process of getting an ELD now. That's all that I lack
Awesome, best of luck to you.
Once I get home to do 34hour reset I put my self off duty and disconnect the ELD untill my 34hour reset is up and I am ready to go on duty pre trip and then it switches to drive once i move the truck. When I connect it back again it records as off duty the whole time, which is the status that I had left it. I do this to extend my battery's lifes. I also drive my personal vehicle during the 34hour reset to go run errands etc.
Thank you thank you my guy! U da man again!!! Still got your Big truck?
Nope fully converted to hotshot. Net revenue is higher then big trucks
@@TruckingTruth how many miles a week in the hotshot do you drive? I bet u miss that sleeper huh?
I still put down from 2500-3500 depending on where I'm running. The only thing about a sleeper I miss is microwave and fridge. Other then that it's not much of a big difference for me personally. I used to run cabovers so sleeping quarters are VERY similar. Like the genie from Aladdin says "infinite cosmic powers ITTY BITTY living space" lol
Good video, thank you. Can you do a video on carrier package?
Carrier package. As in start up pack for authority? Or are you referring to something else like pay packages? Give me a little more detail and I'm sure I can get something together
Own authority, what you would send to the broker etc
What if I need to check engine codes with a scanner?
Is it legal for a company to tell me to log out of ELD if I have dropped off already and on the way back to the yard? It’s a 19 hour day everytime
Got a similar question for you regarding personal conveyance. Does all of this apply to the trailer as well? What if say I'm going to a fourwheeler park or a Jeep event and I use the trailer to haul my personal fourwheelers or jeeps. Does that still fall under the personal conveyance thing? Just worries about being pulled over. TIA
If you are using the truck u normally haul freight with which is registered as a commercial vehicle yes. You still need to put it on PC. What happens is during a dot audit the milage differences will get you written up for a false log book during audit. You can remove all your signs and or put up a not for hire sign. So you dont have to go in scales, but as long as that vehicle is registered as a commercial truck and has an elog attached to it you have to use pc to keep yourself out of the legal spotlight so to speak. By all means dont disconnect the box for any other reason then mechanical work. If you elog has an alarm that goes off if it is unplugged make sure you not it was unplugged for mechanical work and you are good to go.
@@TruckingTruth so you could technically put a note for hire magnet on the side of the truck and use your usual trailer to haul stuff for personal use to events and such? As long as your in PC mode.
Correct
How do you feel about that ELD violets 4th amendment “right of the people to be secure in their personal, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” no one is require shit . Thanks for making replies 👍
I don't find an eld to be a violation of the 4th amendment, however I do believe that they aren't required. Nor do they make the highway safer.
do you know if its ok to have my truck registered to me but run an llc with it?
That's fine
Hi. When I go to the maintenance shop for repairs what setting do I have it in?
Supposed to be driving, but most people just pc there
Hi. So it's driving all the way to shop. Do I leave it on when they repair the truck?
If you are waiting for the truck to be fixed. Technically your supposed to log it as on duty. But everyone goes off duty. Because they are waiting outside the truck
When you personally do it do you have it on duty? I'm waiting for my last permit so I'm close to operating
Me no. If it's at the shop I'm off duty
What if your driving and your e log just shut down goes blank for no reason does not come on yes you have paper logs but you have no idea of how many hours left what do you do ???
You would have to contact you admin who is in charge of logs at your company. Or if it's your authority then log into your elog system and copy what u have down on paper.
@@TruckingTruth but the elog does.not come back.on.for no reason how can you go into it as you just explained?
Each elog system has an online webpage that u log into all your logs are backup on the website. So if your driving for someone else authority. You have to call your dispatcher and they can send u that days elog through email and you copy it on a blank paper log. If you are running under your authority then u log into your elog account through their account portal and do it yourself
@@TruckingTruth ok so Everytime you log into e log it sends it to the cloud servers through cellular service as a back up pre caution
Correct
have you ever had to deal with the 65' rule/mandate?
I never had a problem with my 40' and I was inspected level 1, 3 times the first month I started hotshof
@@TruckingTruth Thank you for responding so quickly, it has been an issue for me trying to figure out what trailer to buy just getting into the business. Also thank you for all of the great information and videos that you have done! so helpful for us just trying to get started! stay safe out there!!
I answer every post on here. Also if you need help with dispatching we can help. Or if your looking to lease on somewhere we can help. If you just got questions feel free to reach out anytime.
If your truck is cab / chassis or you remove the bed, add a hauler or flatbed if you wish, then you can pull any length trailer.
I ran into the same issue with my 44' trailer. Hope that helps.
Long story short its illegal. But so is waking up or going to work as a commercial driver. When are we not ever in violation of something.
Exactly, we are slaves of this stupid system
There's NO law that says the ELD cannot be removed/disabled. This also applies to the 100 mile short haul and AG exemptions. It's nobody's business where I am when logged OFF DUTY. Just because it's tagged as commercial vehicle does not mean I forfeit my constitutional rights to privacy. For the record, I have no problem with ELDs, it's the tracking when not on duty that I have a problem with. Even though the law states it must muse be geofenced, it's still tracking my personal movement.
You are very correct. However when operating under federal guidelines certain aspects of our lives get seen that wouldn't under normal circumstances. Because it is a commercial vehicle, under the eld mandate. Yes you still need to have the eld plugged in and tracking. This is the reason they made the personal conveyance option. Sucks but it is what it is
@@TruckingTruth show me the law that says I cannot unplug it while off duty or PC. It doesn't exist. It seems people are just all too eager to give their freedoms away.
@@jimmywells33 you are totally right they control us in any way they want its fuckin..g disgusting
Actually your wrong the rule is that a commercial vehicle must have an elog. Once your vehicle is plated and insured as a commercial vehicle. Then it is from that point required to have an elog. This is the very reason for the PC exemption. Is to allow you the use of a commercial vehicle for personal use. If you are rolling down the highway and get in an accident while using PC. But have your equipment removed, and get in an accident. When the officials show up and get your documents. They will contact state trooper. Who will see your a commercial truck. Without your equipment plugged in. This means falsified log book charge. Which results in the fact when it comes to the fed rules. Your not supposed to be there at that time legally. There for the accident becomes your fault. Regardless of if you believe the government should know where your are. These are the regs in this business.
You're an idiot. First, many trucks are exempt from the ELD madate,. Just because it's a CMV doesn't mean it must run an ELD. Second, show me the law that says the ELD cannot be operated unplugged while off duty or for personal conveyance, I'll wait...
out dated. No more paper. Edl broken you can't move. Must get another eld.
You are always required to carry a 30 day paper log as a back up incase your log breaks down.
who told you that,,,
It is not outdated. You must carry paper logs. How the hell are you going to get a new ELD if your logs go out in the middle of the mountains of Idaho? No signal, can’t drive to get one, Amazon is sure not gonna air drop you a new ELD.
Great video
Thx
