💯 that’s real homie. I told myself 2023 will be my year of execution. I always come up w ideas but end up not following through cause I read into all the reasons it didn’t work out for someone else. This is definitely a sign for me to go for it whether it works out or not. Preciate you fam!
I use to be the same way man so i definitely understand. 2023 got to be the year lets go 💯
I want to do what you do! I got my class A no restrictions , I think flatbed would be cool, do you do it for yourself or someone else ?
@@devildogentertainment4904 I do it for myself 🫡
@@anthonydterry it’s been tough bro idk which route to take this or company or something . The current job I have pays good but the hours are KILLING ME! so I’m looking for better opportunities ☠️
@@anthonydterry you have a video on how you started and what it took for you to get where you are now ???
great information, thank you. I was blessed with meeting a couple that has a hotshot company and they took me under there wing until I could do it on my own, it's so true when you say , my money may not be someone else's money, I'm not here to be rich, I want to build a company , something I can pass on to my children if they choose so. do not let someone tell you that you can't do it, you can. it took me 2 years to get my 1st load, so don't give up just keep pushing and it will happen.
So much positive energy and great advice in this video my brother!💯⚡️🧠 thank you for taking the time to give out some free game about the hotshot industry! You are definitely right about telling your self you can do it and not ever putting yourself short or settling just because you think you can not do it. In life we must take all the risk even if they scare us, we won’t ever know until we go for it. Trucking can definitely be a huge avenue for many individuals trying to start another business or venture off. Keep this raw organic content coming my brother!💯 peace and love
Well said my brother 🙏🏽💯 always a pleasure to have you watching the content and commenting thank you!
U speaking some real stuff I am glad I ran across your video because I had some negative owner operators drivers talking about don’t get into it so this make me want to go harder thank u for the positive lookout
Let’s go bro get your own experience/perspective don’t listen to the negativity ✊🏽💯
He is speaking one I’ve been in the trucking industry 18 years and you cannot come up overnight with nothing but if you stick with it, you will have something. 💯🙏🏾
What's up bro! Just watched your video. I really appreciated how honest you were and how you encouraged everyone that wants to start hot shot trucking like me. Lol! Thank you thank you thank you! Keep the videos coming and stay safe out there and stay blessed🙏🏽
Happy this video helped encourage you bro. I wish you the best of the luck on your journey 💯🙏
Dude, love it and thanks for speaking truth! Hope to catch you out there on the road at some point
Appreciate it!
I like your comments Anthony. I have a few businesses. You can lose money in a hot business or make money in a slow business environment. You just need to understand the business and operate efficiently and intelligently. Don't just blindly follow others. Listen to advice, but forge your own path. Take care
Exactly!
Anthony you are the new 2023 remix of les brown!! I love this my man

I’m 19 an I’ve been tryna get my own hotshot company started an I keep watching this video when I get discouraged an it really keep my mindset right an focused on the mission at hand, inspiration fr fr
I appreciate this comment bro. Your time is coming man keep grinding and putting one foot in front of the other each day 🙏🏽
This the video I needed to listen too bro..,. Great video broooo awsome ima subscribe hell yea!!! Stay positive player and hustle to get your castle!!
Wats up Bro..I have watched hundreds of hotshot video but this one was the realist.
Man I appreciate that bro 🙏🏽
I’ve watched a lot of trucking videos and I never leave comments but this the best video I’ve ran across bc your speaking the real
I appreciate you man thank you 🙏🏽
I don’t comment on a lot of videos but Ive been researching hotshot for the last 3yrs and have never took the leap to fully commit to it. I bought my ram 3500 to prepare for it 2yrs ago. If I don’t get this job next week I’ll be buying my trailer to start my hotshot career.
i feel like its all about budgeting correctly. i only bring home 650 p/week after taxes now and all my bills are paid. hopefully financing a brank new truck soon and if i can "bring home 2k a week after expenses, on the low end" thats seriously life changing, atleast for me. Great insight and video. im hype to get started and put in the work.
Well said 🙏🏽 thank you! Let’s go 💪🏾
Much success Bro..that Leroy Hutson song is a beast.. 925 All Access Logistics I'm new in the game.. May need some pointers from time to time💪💯
Welcome to the game bro much success to you as well 🙏🏽
Tarp the load before strapping . Make it way easier
I'll start experimenting with that. Thanks!
Love the video. I just bought my truck and trailer cash. Just waiting on the irp tag to come back so it can hit the road. Box truck 1 and 2 are already on the road. This will be my first hot shot
Congratulations let’s get to it 💪🏾
You talking some real shit the more money you make the more money you spend, and you don’t realize how much money you spent until you no longer making a large amount of money anymore… moral of the story is save your money on spending money on those expensive things just to make you look good everybody say Yolo do you only live once no they wrong you live every day but you die once don’t be missed in foreign people save your money….. much love bro I LOVE THIS VID ❤️🔥🙌🏽🔥
That was a bar you dropped bro “you live everyday but you die once” well said 👏🏽 I appreciate this comment bro thank you ✊🏽💯
Thanks for keeping it 100 Fam!!
💯
I’m a Regional flatbed driver, and everytime I see a Hotshotter, I always wonder what it would be like to haul using my own equipment. Definitely considering it heavy bro. I always seem to get overwhelmed in my thinking when I think about getting my own trailer😂..I know getting a truck won’t be complicated as I’m building my credit! But how you put it in Perspective and Perception was a Gem bro!New Sub
Appreciate the comment and sub bro! It’s nothing like getting your own experience and perspective 🙏🏽
But it’s better than a factory job or customer service job as well
Even if you make five net, it’s still better than most jobs. It’s basically a life changer.
Most people don’t have a degree or any kind of technical or or have any type of skill to get paid that kind of money
Love the video !! A lot of people come from a place of being a “know it all” when they was once in your place too but feel like they too good
Thank you my love you’re right !
You have a ton of wisdom! I am looking at non cdl hotshot. In position to succeed in that i was able to buy a truck in cash, and will buy trailer with cash, so i will have no truck or trailer payments which should give me an advantage. I dont have to make as much money as i used to need, so its opposite of your step up method, lol. I am just wanting to make enough money. My goal will be to use cash only, take advantage of depreciation to offset taxes, and grow to the point where i can hire drivers and just manage the business instead of have to drive. When i get there i will call it big enough and do that for 5 years, then sell the company/retire.
You are wise, and i wish someone told me this 25-30 years ago- the goal of working isnt to acquire stuff- the goal of work is to get to a position where you can work less and retire as early as possible. Time is the only commodity you cannot buy or sell, when it is up it is up. Do you want to spend that time working or playing? Do the hard work early, buy real estate, play later. I didnt realize this until my dad died a few months ago. I am 48, willing to bust my ass for a few more years. Wish i would have done so earlier as i mentioned, but hey, its life.
Cheers!
Hey man I appreciate that! Sorry about your loss, but in honor of your dad work hard and achieve this goal you have 🙏🏽
Man.. you just answer all my questions that I have about my self, thank you man I really appreciate you word, I'm really to jump on it now. I believe I can do it. I'm a positive person and u will see you on the road. Lunch on my. That's a word.
Let’s go bro 👏🏽💯 I’ll hold you on that lunch promise. See you on the road 🙏🏽
This the realest shit I ever seen about trucking and truth ! I swear to god !
Appreciate that 🙏🏽
Good stuff man thank you for this...cause this hotshot is interesting to me
No doubt bro ✊🏽
For your oil plug and pan, get 4 pieces of clear plexiglass and make a splash guard for your oil pan. It's just a hack I did for changing oil myself.
Thank you for the advice 🫡
@Anthony Terry not a problem at all. I learned it the same way you did. I'm a mechanic by trade and a truck driver by choice. Have a great day and thanks for the videos
@@billjensen6216 be safe out on the road man thanks for stopping by with the advice!
Ant you a G. Great video brother.
Appreciate that brother 🙏🏽
Folks said I was for buying a dually 2 yrs ago and just paid cash for my 40ft gooseneck in May. I’m switching from semi to hotshot but I have a plan…been had one for 12yrs. 😎
Let’s go 💪🏾
Good luck ! I switched from semi to hotshot and so far so good
Love what your doing brother, I’m interested in the business, nothing comes over night glad to hear this! God Bless Salute 💪🏾👊🏾💯
Appreciate that bro ✊🏽💯
@@anthonydterry 💯💯
Just starting my business thank you! Very powerful information.
Congratulations! Crush it 🙏🏽
Bro this is some of the best advice I’ve heard/seen from anyone. I appreciate you bro!!
Appreciate that bro 💯
Subbed! I been OTR and trucking for 15 years, always leaving to start businesses that had nothing to do with trucking 😆 now looking at buying my own semi but I’m leaning towards HotShot instead, seems like a lot lower risk then buying a 500k mile kenworth… I’ll be binge watching your content on my breaks, thanks for the great information 💪🏼
Appreciate the sub! Hopefully my videos can provide you with some helpful information 🙏🏽 definitely lower risk than the semi but the semi can give a better reward 🤷🏽♂️
i needed this video fam appreciate the words i wish you much success
We all need a little push brother because I know I be needing it as well. Thank you 🙏🏽
This was so helpful, thanks bro! 💯
No doubt bro 💯
I appreciate this video man. Thank you. I'm up in PA and getting into hotshot late spring/ early summer so its good to hear real words about the business.
Appreciate that bro! Let’s get it 💪🏾 hope to see you on the road one day!
Thank you man very positive
Appreciate the comment 🙏🏽
I’m glad someone got on here and gave it straight 💯..!
Just gave my honest opinion bro 🙏🏽
That's right bro! Great video
Appreciate it bro 💯
Big Subscribed! I really enjoyed the 1st half, just seeing the work in action but the speach🔥 Top Tier brother. Its all relative
Appreciate you bro 💯
Hey brother i normally don’t watch long videos like this bc I have a very short attention span but for some reason this video kept my attention for the entire 25 mins 😂 thanks for the advice brother👍🏾
Hey man I definitely appreciate you watching 🙏🏽
Fantastic information, thank you. My hubs just started his trucking career with a company doing flatbed. He’s been talking about hotshots and wants to put in a good 6 months of experience then give hotshots a try. I feel like this would be the perfect opportunity for us as we decided to sell everything off, buy a 5th wheel and live full time traveling the country. My schedule will be completely flexible to match his and our ability to be 100% mobile will give us bigger opportunities to achieve complete financial independence and working for ourselves. Thank you for the enlightening message.
Thank you for this comment and congratulations to both you and your husband I wish you guys much success on your ventures! Financial independence is definitely the goal, I salute you guys for going after it 🙏🏽
@@anthonydterry Thank you, we greatly appreciate that. Love your videos, keep educating the community so we can all get a slice of the pie. The only L you take is Learning. Safe travels.
@@candicehathaway2331 will do 🙏🏽

Enrolling now for class A… weighing options of what’s the best fit for me. I appreciate your transparency.
Congratulations! Thank you for commenting 🙏🏽
Hey good looking out bro got several decisions to make and Head got a lot of feedback it’s good to remember to refocus and remember that we’re doing this for ourselves and our families and it’s OK to feel our best successes often come from failure thank you for the good energy I have a blessed day be safe out here🙌🏿💯
Well said my brother thank you for leaving this comment 💯

You need to get locking box for your tie down parts.
What’s that?
Big facts my guy... many will talk about it but only a few will take action... You have to know who you are...
Well said brother 🙏🏽
Best advice I’ve seen
Thank you 🙏🏽
Brother great video and pretty motivational
Thank you 🙏🏽
I have everything but my 40'er, should be delivered by middle of next week. Didn't cost me much to start up. Probably $4,500 total.
Got leased on through a friend!
Yo that’s what’s up man 👏🏽
@@anthonydterry Thanks for the advice and encouragement..It was definitely a back and forth decision but I'm committed now!!!!

Bro you a real one 💯 . I’m so confused about this , but you really summed it out 🙏
Happy I could help bro 💯

Awesome positive message I 🫡 you !

Remember this, failure is just a step on the road to success. Be fearless about failure.
Fail early, learn from it, and keep pushing. Eventually, you'll get to where you want to go.
Great vid bro, new sub.
Well said 🙏🏽 appreciate the sub!
Great advice , you are so right. People should go for what makes them happy. Love the music.. what’s that’s song who sings it
That’s right dad!
The song called Brock barrigan- so in love that’s the song
Good advice 🗣️keep pushing brotha
Appreciate that bro 💯
Straight facts, thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the comment 🙏🏽
One of the Realist videos on TH-cam 💯💪💪💪
I appreciate that 💯
First and foremost Thank you for your kind words.. Much appreciated.. I was just asking a person about his Hotshot Set up I seen coming out the Gym. He didn’t want to give me no information and the sad thing about it he was one of Us.. You just Motivated me even more with this video.. I appreciate you Family. ✌🏾🖤
That’s real brother I appreciate this comment 🙏🏽💯 unfortunately I dealt with the same thing which is why I wanted to get on here and help people!
Very inspirational speaker
Appreciate that bro
The energy is WILD 🔥 appreciate it 💯
Yessir 💯
One thing you can’t do is listen to a lot of people tell you how things are…. Everything for other people might not effect you like it does them. This guy is giving it to you real 💯..! Just subscribe to your channel brother. Keep grinding.
I appreciate that bro 💯💯
Thank u for ur video how I can find the load?which load board I should use?
I prefer using as many as possible !
I owned my businesses for 40+ years. First one for ~7 then when corporate. Lasted 5 years and had to start my own again. Just not a corp. guy. Pretty much everything you said was spot on. Most business fail because of lack of commitment and putting in the time to learn from the failures as well as the successes. When you get knocked down; you gotta jump back up. I use to tell my employees that we are like farmers. We have good years of crops & bad ones. During the good ones invest in your equipment & put some in storage for the bad years. Too many spend like every year will be good and then when things turn they can't survive. business is cyclical. You have a great attitude; things will roll your way.
Well said 🙏🏽 thank you!
I have a rig think about buying a dually for hotshot
Great vid brother. Real and authentic. How do I go about getting a dispatcher?
Appreciate that brother! You can search Facebook groups, Instagram, TH-cam and even Google honestly just do you due diligence
@@anthonydterry 👍🏾🙏🏿✊🏾
New subscribe I miss being on the road
Appreciate it bro 💯 what’s stopping you from getting back out there?
If i wanted to lease on to a company, I'd have to buy or rent my own truck and trailer first? I have class A already
Very positive bro bro congrats
Thank you 🙏🏽
Realist shit right here! Props bro!💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥
Appreciate that bro 💯
I would only start if I had a Cdl. That way u can pivot if needed. I’m a Cdl hotshot and it’s getting tough.
I respect that. I definitely understand
Love the content, I am in the box truck industry thinking about switching over to hot shot. Are you CDL or none CDL, and what size and pay load of your trailer?
What’s up brother I appreciate you watching my content. I’m CDL and I have a 22GN 35+5 mega ramps trailer with 10k axles. The pay load is 15,000lbs
@@anthonydterry ok nice still working on getting my CDLs
@@michaelellis7671 sounds good! Good luck 👍🏽
A damn good video should be a motivational speaker 👍🏾👍🏾
Appreciate that 💯
I am $85k invested in Hot Shot and I start my Authority next week. I am coming off flatbed class A where most of my loads for the past 18 months could have been Hot Shot loads. It is cheaper to run a F350 with a 35' trailer over a Freightliner dragging a 53' trailer for a 30' load at 16.5 pounds.
That’s what’s up man! Welcome to the hotshot world
You a real one bro…
Appreciate you bro
Hell yeah. You've got me hyped up man, I've been digging into this business the last several days and I think it could be the answer for where I'm at in life. I've got a decent job atm that is just a launch pad for this now.
I've got no problem busting my ass, and taking the money risk in the beginning. I gotta jump off the Polo shirt supervisors and politics ship, and this seems like the escape pod.
Let’s get to it bro 💪🏾💯
Literally exactly where I'm at too. Over this supervisor stuff and ready to get into this business.
@@KoyoteKev let’s go 👏🏽
Hey I noticed you drive a ram? What year? I’m about to go get a 21 tradesman today! Are you a non cdl driver? What trailer should I run to stay non cdl
I have a 2019. I’m cdl. For non cdl it’s more about the weight than the trailer i believe. Find out how much weight you can’t exceed as non cdl that’ll help you decide on the trailer because you want to make sure your truck and trailer don’t take up much of that gross weight
Man grid hard well said
✊🏽💯
Great leadership
Thanks man!
well done bro.
Estaba pasando un momento malo solo llego 2 meses en esto bueno llevo 7 pero 2 meses independiente y sabes no hay ningún negocio que poniendo empeño y sacrificio no salga a delante no te dejes llevar de lo que los demás piensen o digan hay que darle duro 🇵🇷🇵🇷
I had to translate this lol but well said thank you for commenting 🙏🏽
@@anthonydterry my bad I forgot I’m comment on Spanish
@@Rae22inc no worries !
Hey Israel, how are you doing? Me compartirias unas palabras de ayuda en Hotshot?
Yo y do people do hotshot when they have a cdl license y not juzt drive a 18 wheeler at leazt that haz a bed fo u to sleep in ? inztead of zleeping in bak zeat of a dually .
It’s all personal preference my friend!
It costs more to get into a big truck and commercial financing is very tough as well as insurance will cost more
Thank you so much
That’s real bro 💯
✊🏽💯
Track at 7:50??
I don’t EVER comment on videos but you’re a wise MAN and definitely not like these other hotshot drivers. All they do is complain. You have a good head on your shoulders and you’re definitely going to do great things in life. Please continue to post authentic content. Greatly appreciate it.
Thank you I appreciate this comment 🙏🏽
Powerful content💯
Appreciate it my brother 💯
