RESPONSE TO HOTSHOT BENNII - BAD EXAMPLE FOR TRUCKING
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ค. 2022
- Let's unpack the mess inside of the latest video from hotshot Bennii, this is a perfect example of how not to approach any given day in this industry. Fingers crossed and high hopes cannot come close to substituting regular maintenance and continuous visual inspection. There is a lot of bad attitudes toward the hotshot trucking industry and examples like this video are exactly why they exist. Be better.

This shows the obvious, you can’t please everyone. I will point out just based on feedback that people overwhelmingly agree with what I pointed out in this. Most that don’t agree feel like I’m attacking the individual instead of the actions. That’s a strange perspective to have given the subject matter but to each his own. I’m all about helping people. In this instance the help is for the viewers of the original video and even Bennii himself. Read the comments on the original video. MOST of them don’t even realize the gravity of what they just witnessed because they’re blinded by their opinion of the man. It’s flat out dangerous to create content like that to new and potential drivers out here. They follow his every example because of the bar he’s set by his appearance of massive success. People will replicate his every move, even bad ones if there’s no accountability because if he’s still appearing to be wildly successful then getting shut down and rolling dirty must just be part of the formula right? Hell no
100% correct! Great education, even Bennii didn’t know, which is scary bc he’s been around for a while and influences many people. But being a big figure, people start to think: “well bennii drives like that so must be OK!” 🙅🏼♂️ HELL NO is right! Thanks again for another great video! 🙏🏻 👍🏻
Could I pay you for some of your time, like a sit down, cause I used to watch them and now I feel lost and I’m starting my business real soon
@@lowkeisimmons9229 I can help. Im in the game truck and broker.
@@lowkeisimmons9229 Do you have a class a cdl?
Love it brother … I own and operate a new mc out of Michigan .. keep up the great content and drive safe !! Fkn Truck’n llc
Thank you for this! I’m also a hotshot car hauler with a 4-car rig. I have the exact same experience as you mentioned with DOT inspections. Every one of his videos show stupid and dangerous issues that he shrugs off as silly little mistakes. Hell, a few videos ago his trailer hub blew up and his wheel went flying off into the median starting a big brush fire. It was played off like “these are things that happen out here”. If you do your pre-trips and proper maintenance they shouldn’t happen.
Just a brush fire 🔥 😅. I’m surprised that didn’t try to charge him and prosecute him. He definitely caught a break 🤫.
I wrote to him about it. He's making us all look bad. Tires didn't get that bad over night.
Never and I mean never incriminate yourself on any social. A lawyer will eat that up.
Nothing to eat up you stooge... That's what his inspection was for...
What trucking looks like when you spend more time on video intro and drone footage than on safety.
Pulled into a inspection station during blitz week with a 5 axle trailer with 95,000 pounds lvl 2 inspection and wasn’t nervous at all and they didn’t find anything.. do your pretrips, mid trips and post trips and you will have no issues.
Yeah, LM….my jaw dropped when he said “That was my best DOT inspection ever”…….after being frickin’ put out of service!!!! WTH?
He was saying “it was the best inspection ever” not because of the end result but simply because the DOT officer was being very thorough and he’s never experienced a DOT officer being that thorough. Maybe he could’ve worded it differently…
Not going to lie. There’s ppl I watch for a “entertainment” factor and there’s ppl I watch when I want real guidance…But most ppl can’t decipher the difference especially when they’re looking to get started. I agree with you and it had to be said. This shit isn’t a joke or just a entertaining video. There’s real life shit at stake.
im getting into CDL training in a month or so and just got my CLP yesterday and frm what I learned frm basic pre-trip inspection is what he needs to do and really be serious about it. Thank you for this video, it may just save another life. Even for my personal car I wouldn't drive with tire like that. Drive safe out there!
One of my tires on my trailer is getting bad should I replace both tires at the same time? Or just that one, thanks
Depends on the tread depth of the other one. On a single wheel axle if the tread is low on the other side too just change them both. On a dual wheel setup I’d change the tire group on that same side for sure. Like I said it really depends on the tread depth left but if you change a tire on an axle and the other is half tread or less left on it the difference will end up wearing both tires unevenly and you’re doubling the problem. Hope this helped 👍
That’s ok l Loadmizer. Benny is showing us what not to do. I like to see it all. No reason to stop watching Benny. Learning from others mistakes is a lesson learned
Mistakes aren’t intentional. This was.
Wow! I haven't been on here in months because some of the stuff was getting crazy,, but just hopped on to look up some installation videos. First thing I saw was you and this video. Next thing I saw was 21k subscribers!?! Holy crap! Congratulations! I'm not surprised because when I started you were definitely one of the few that were genuine...andvit seems people are catching the same vibe. Anyways, wish I had stopped there! This video is beyond disturbing yet seems pretty consistent with the mindset of so many across social media. It's disturbing how much is taken for granted.
Thanks man I appreciate that 👍👍
Thank you! Please keep the videos coming 🙏🏾 I'm new (female) in the Hotshot business and saw Benni's video and was thinking dude you are put out of service and "It was a good inspection!!!) No way 😫🥺
RICKY MY MAN!!! Thank u 4 ur view….I appreciate your outlook as well as Haulin Cash Danny’s. Both of u guys have helped me big time. Thanks again 4 speak’n on this.
Well done my friend. I drove hotshot for only 5 mos. and always had my rig in 100% top condition - its dangerous as hell out there how can anyone operate otherwise!
Damn Bennii was the reason I first looked into hotshot. But you said nothing wrong here. I haven’t had a single issue with dot. But I’ve also been a mechanic for 20+ years so I’m constantly on top of any issues, especially tires. Scary part is he’s moving to semis so those tire issues are multiplied with the extra weight.
Hello Load Mizer… been a fan. I have my hot shot now and it’s a 2500 Dodge Ram with a 25+5 trailer.. Just wanted to know all the documents I need to be on the road and pass all the inspections.. thanks
CDL DRIVER HERE ... When I seen this title, immediately I was bothered but thought to myself. Let's see why he feels so inclined to post about it. HOLY SHIT Bennie.
Yeah, I'm in full agreement to you posting this and clarifying what are standards should be and how he failed on some of the most important aspects of trucking safety. Thanks
I must say Bennie out here got us looking bad, he need to tighten up and let that be his documented Joyner on TH-cam 👀 that would make for way better content besides watching the train wreck he’s documenting up here. This is serious business on the road, having a attitude and Equipment like that is the definition of negligence smh tighten up people .
Finally someone calls out these guys crap, he had a “short” earlier saying people out here calling him their “hero” “role model” “looking up to him” “an inspiration”, like pump the brakes bro….
I'm interested in car hauling and live in western Colorado. How can I find out if there are good lanes to run in and out of my area? Load boards want an MC #, so I can't look to see what's out there before I commit to starting up. Thanks for the videos. Lots of good info.
Good stuff Danny er uhm Ricky ...lol I really appreciate y'alls inputs. Every piece of knowledge wherever it comes from is a Blessing to me ad I know y'all have been there. Safe travels my friend.
I commented on his video, but didn't break it down like you did. Those SMS results are horrendous! That's going to put truck insurance out of reach if they don't fix it ASAP. He talked about some back to back bad inspections before and I thought they were working themselves back with good inspections...apparently not. I've had 3 level ones with 99 F350's. Yeah, they look hard at old hotshot equipment, but I stay on top of it. I passed each inspection! If I don't think something is right, I shut it down and fix it. Much easier to fix at home than stuck in some weigh station!
That’s right. Catch it early and you won’t stress.
I just got into the hot shot game, thank you brotha for all the advice. Been watching a lot of your videos
Good luck out here man 👍
Get Out before it's to late . Hotshot is dead now you're going to stay getting picked on by DOT cause of guys like these and the rates are garbage. Don't get me started if you're non cdl. Just giving some advice dude I just moved out of the hotshot and moved up to the semi
I see on your that you have multiple things marked that you can or could haul. They only had general freight how did you do that? Was it when you did your msc-150 form?
Yes I added all commodities individually as well as general freight. You can update the form at any time but when I started hauling vehicles I just added them too.
Im new to hot shot but have hauled for a large amount of my working life. This guy is a perfect teaching example of what not to do. Its scary that hes from a trucking family!
Crackhead truckin
I had my first all paperwork check in CO and I handed my binder with all of my paperwork and they all were cool with me. The DOT officer handed my paperwork back to me and told me that I’m good. I need to thank you for your help with that as well Load Mizer. I watched your video on what a commercial vehicle paperwork should have. Let’s all be safe out here! God bless!
I’m telling you, I’ve avoided more inspections than I’ve actually gotten just by having that binder. 👍
@@LoadMizer yes sir and I cannot thank you enough for all of the information you have given on your channel!
He’s young and learning about truckin his pops is a truckin legend for sure.
PLEASE DEFINE LEGEND? He is not a legend, he's allowing his son and Co Owner of the company to run around looking like amateurs, operating with bald tires and not ACTUALLY performing proper maintenance . Guys don't let this TH-cam fame fool you into thinking they are LEGENDS. People jump ro lease on with these YT famous Companies but don't realize they're gonna be drug into every scale house due to their safety score is Aweful.
Well he needs to learn first and not give misinformation. That BS helps Noone. I'm actually dissapointed that he's doing that because people watch these videos to learn. His pops being elderly doesn't make him a legend.
Lmao I wonder if he has a video of "how to do a pre/post trip inspections"😂🤣😂
He is clearly not learning
I just got hit with a level 1 out of Cali. I’m still in a semi tractor trailer but I passed my inspection. Is it harder in a hotshot?
Not harder at all. It’s faster and easier to inspect a hotshot setup but all of the things you need to keep an eye on are the same, just smaller
Great video I just found ya and subbed! I like Bennii but everything you said was spot on.
Agreed, I was inspected 5 times my first two years. With miscellaneous violations, lights mainly. Had bad wiring. After that with clear inspections, started getting flag on through. They have your records and know your person. But I still wave and smile.
I passed with flying colors on my first week out on the road. My stuff is perfect and I do my pre trip and post trip inspections. As soon as I have 1 single issue on my truck or trailer, I voluntarily take myself OOS and fix what’s wrong!
You find things before they become problems that way 👍
Best way to be. My safety dep. Has us doing pretrip pics and post trip pics never hurts to have more eyes on.
I don’t understand why people that make good money don’t want to invest back into their business it’s absolutely ludicrous
@@chrishopkins8214 Yeah they make all of that money but cant buy 2 new steer tires lol!
@@bryonsusedautos or get an alignment so they quit chewing up the tires.
I worked for a company called Vantage Home Health delivering containers of liquid O2 to hospitals and households. We (3 trucks) got stopped almost every day by the PSP DOT officer. He'd let me go every time and we became pretty familiar with each other so I asked him WHY I was always getting stopped. He told me that he had to stop a certain number of HAZMAT trucks every day, and he KNEW our trucks (Vantage) would pass the Level 1 (easy quota fulfillment). So I was put behind on my run to satisfy a quota HE HAD because he knew we wouldn't fail. I did ask him to report the stops though so I could at least get credit for the hassle.
Now he's got a class A. 80k pounds of negligence headed down the road at 65-75 mph is even worse. I hope he don't over look the safety issues anymore.
That's terrifying
do you need on hook coverage for your set up?
Sad part is, this isn't uncommon. I see trucks on the road that should be, let alone hauling commercially
People like that should be kept out of service permanently until they learn how important people's lives are
💯
I came over here to give shit but I wanted to see what you posted first and I’ll be honest man. Your not wrong after seeing that he’s had that many violations in 2 years I’m shocked. Your also right that most of the things he got nailed for are basic pre-trip inspections things. Good video pointing these out for others
Can’t make people understand, can only show em lol
@@LoadMizer for sure I do hotshotting up here in Canada and I have to say all inspections I’ve had they pull the break away. He also needs airbags in that truck so he stops burning out the front tires. Scares me now knowing he’s going to semi.
Small issues are magnified on those. So is the cost wether it be monetary or injury.
Hey Mizer
just have a question about the small rollers on back of the trailer ..can you tell me where i can find them.
You can get them off Amazon. Search 2” heavy duty roller wheel 👍
When I started doing hot shots about 20 months ago I followed all your advice to the letter and things worked out for me. I really appreciated your mentorship on you tube. Sometimes we just need some good mentorship.
What would your advice be to someone starting out? Places to research, creators to follow, any tips would be greatly appreciated
@@Omni11B load Mizer & dd214 👍
@@357bkg thanks
@@Omni11B hotshot car hauling is good to jump into, not bad pay, running long distance in any pickup truck is rough, some guys can sleep in a back seat or take passenger seat out, I figure the rate for me to haul cars , a hotel has to factor into the rate.
This is his best DOT inspection very scary. He will be the one that kills someone from a tire blowout. I cant tell you how many bald tires with tread showing I saw in my 25 years on the road as a Police Officer great video...
I’m right there with you. Seen a lot of preventable death and destruction cruising the highways for 13 years. Sad that neglect is so popular now.
Yeah he said that on TH-cam! I'm not a HotShot Driver, I do the Sprinter Van thing.
I stop watching guys like him on TH-cam, It's all about the clicks for them. I'm on the a lot maybe not as much as some of you HotShot & Trailer drivers and see all the accidents.
Your Spot on for calling out this craziness!
Keep your head up everyone and be safe!
I got love for bennii but I completely understand your point I thought about this while watching the video of his. Kind of came off across as if he doesn’t do good pre-trips and doesn’t stay compliant
That’s the same type of people you’ll work with in the manufacturing environment! And they don’t usually change! The people that do their job end up doing the slackers job too and nothing happens in that world to them! That’s why I’m doing this now! And thank you again for for ALL the great videos bud!
It’s every field of work I swear. Some just have to learn the hard way and some have been learning that way for a very long time and still don’t get it. 🤷♂️
I can not believe he feels safe driving with those tires like that. Wow. What a danger. Thanks for speaking out about this!
He obviously hasn't seen videos of what happens to a truck when steer tires blow out.
Agreed! People like that should not even be on the road in a car!
Yeah, one slip down an embankment with any vehicle will certainly reshuffle your way of thinking, Let's hope that doesn't happen to anyone. Stay safe out there, my brother and sister truckers....🥰
Yo, I PANIC when the tires just wear uneven, and almost died when I saw his racing/side treads! Front steers need to be 4/32 tread, I follow that rule for ALL the treads on the tire! So that tread strip that’s bald is automatic OOS!? Am I wrong? He must of had a nice DOT officer.
He should’ve never seen that tire in the first place. It was worn to the sidewall.
@@LoadMizer It was a bad idea for Bennii to be carrying that racing slick around with him in the bed, like an advertisement out in the open. That's like game attractant to a DOT officer -- as soon as he sees it, now he _REALLY_ knows he needs to keep his eyes peeled for OOS violations.
Try bean bags instead of weights
You are spot on with this video load mizer when I watched the video of Benny I was shaking my head the whole time.
How do you stop that un even wear on your steer tires?
Get an alignment, balance and rotate. Maintain proper air pressure.
Hello Load Mizer. Thank you for your post. I'm looking to get into this industry. I just did my first "so called" ride along today. The gentleman driving has only been doing this for 6 months. But he barley speaks English so it was difficult to understand what was being stated. I did hear him say something avoiding the weigh station. Which was a red flag for me being in transportation for a number of years. Is there a particular book or session videos that I can use to learn more about the car hauling industry?
Just gained a new sub. Thank you for the info.
There is going to be people who will condemn you for using his video as instructional "what not to do", but this is the perfect "what not to do" video!!!
Been plenty of that on here.
I know they've been running for a while and all of what he's talking about is definitely something he should have known. I my guess is he doesn't do a pre-trip and nor does he know much about his rig mechanically.
This the only channel I watch for information. Seen most of them. I seen Benni on there once complaining about the DOT pulling him over and found ELD violations. He was all pissed off. I quit watching him for that. Showed me he doesn't know wtf he's talking about.
And additionally, comparison of records was to illustrate that having a sound work ethic with regards to safety is very much attainable. A person's records will show (in some cases) their patterns toward their work. I say, do the job the right way the first time and you shouldn't have obvious/ problems. Being a retired Air Force cop, I've seen my share accidents because people take for granted the purpose of vehicles and road conditions that they are traveling on.
@Vincent Davis Also to provide Evidence of the Fact that this was not a baseless attack on a person for Making a Mistake.....but rather a calling out of : A Repeated Negligent Behavior from a Person whom, Proudly Claims To Influence Others on a large scale, with the content of his Vid's and Message .......
So what made you shut down?
Great Video! We need more of this!
Thats why I stopped watching hot shot benny and towpliget, they obviously do it for views and entertaiment, this guy the load mizer is very educational and realistic. More subscribers for you sir.
Yep I’ve watched hotshot Benni well still do for a what not to do lol but when I first seen this video I thought he was just trying to bash benni but hotshot benni might have just F’d himself with that lesson he thinks he doin I’m in school for my CDL now and see everything wrong with what he did and said 🤦🏽♂️ I’ll still watch him cause I like his energy but not his message 👌🏽 thanks load mizer for pointing it out I ain’t seen his whole video yet and not sure I wanna
Ya I unsubscribed from both of them awhile ago. They are youtubers trying to be hotshotters. Some other ones going that route to. Load Mizer tells the truth.
Hell if I ever see one of my tires bald from any area I freak the hell out, I checked them before atarting my day, while fueling and at the end, but this dude hot shot benny, he don't seem to be doing his pre-trips and in one of his videos he recommends to do your pre-trips everytime, but he doesn't, yeah its good to learn from other peoples mistakes, but dude.... its guys like him that makes dot want to screw us more
@@vegaslimoguy2376 it actually came from Texas oil fields. Loads are still hot. Dedicated loads that is. Government put paper logs into place but so many guys had "two" logs the real one kept hidden and a fake one to present. They caught on to it and wanted electronic logs. Plus it's easy for them now to put you out of service and fine you for log violations. Just another way to take people's money. But for the most part it is more LTL anymore than dedicated hot loads. But 90% of my loads are dedicated. I'm not a big fan of partials but will take them if I need to.
Driving for Benny will have you're ass locked up lol I seen a video of him actually losing a tire on the highway I think the tire was on fire as well
I’ve been at this for almost a year and your videos very helpful when I was learning the ropes really appreciate you. Mac express
Axle pinching inward?? Is that a 4x4 or 2x4 truck? If 4x4 it won’t pinch
I max my rear axle almost every single time I’m loaded and I don’t have steer tire wear issues at all. Next to alignment proper inflation is a higher contributor.
Welp glad I have 12 yrs experience of semi and switching over to hotshot now. I’m still learning my trailer but not much of a difference when it comes to pretrips, post trips. These tires are ridiculous 🤦🏾♂️
So glad I drove a semi before this too. You’re able to bring so many skills into this crazy industry.
From semi to hotshot? How come?
Great video bro I hope he don’t take it the wrong way and learn from this video
Exactly what I hope too.
I owned 3 Dodge Duallys and 1 ford dually . The suspension parts on these front ends wear out super fast when pulling heavier loads . Dodge especially had problems and it seemed I was burning through tires and constantly changing front end parts . Yeah dudes gonna need a rebuild soon .
If you're burning up steers and destroying front end components, make sure you do new dampers with every set of tyres, and get the wheels balanced on the truck. Get the alignment checked also.
Hey i passed the load mizer today going down 385 in memphis/collierville area. I was in a white 5500 dodge tow truck.
I was headed home 😂
Thank you for this video
Are you ever going to make anymore videos?
This is a 4X4 and has a solid front axle which would prohibit the front tires having a camber issue due to weighted rear axle. The typical cause for front tires wearing on the outside with a straight axle is running heavy and doing a lot of turning moving faster than you should be. If the Toe (The only alignment adjustment on this truck unless it the axle was bent in an accident) is not correct it can cause outside wear, but usually the truck will have a vibration that starts at about 30MPH and you cant out run it. No, I think Bennii is hauling very heavy loads and making over speed turns even when parking and backing. I have seen many Dually drivers think because the truck in nimble it's ok to move the truck at a fast pace when backing and parking or even around corners. Your right Load Mizer, Pre-trip should have caught all of this and secured the roads for everyone. This is an example of why Troopers, Police and DOT are hard on Hotshot,because they know these guys try to cut corners and beat the system. Men and Women who follow the rules, spend the money and take the time to be safe pay higher insurance rates because of "Cowboy" Hotshots. So next time someone calls for an insurance quote and they are told $2500, thank Bennii and crew. P.S. I hope Tow Piglet some day gives you your props for your teaching him about the binder of documents. I watched your channel and now my 4 drivers and myself have one on board! I actually suggest to my drivers they follow your channel and Jason's to learn more about their craft. That's right I called it a craft, because it is a profession.
That’s a big comment with a lot to digest. I appreciate the support and glad to be able to make life a little easier for you and your guys 👍👍
I appreciate the kind words!
Your a real one Load Mizer, I just started hotshot not too long ago and that disgust me. Thanks for being helpful on everything and being an example on how to present yourself and your business! I’ve followed a lot of the things you do and how to keep your paperwork professional and presentable, I appreciate the content!
Thank you for that 💪
Same here! I just made my first run to Tennessee,Kentucky and Ohio this past week. Thanks for all your help!!
@LoadMizer I've been watching you! We are from ky as well and are starting our own authority. Enjoy your videos
Damn, I am not in the Hot Shot business but from what I heard, that individual should not be driving. I wouldn't even pull my RV unless it was safe nor my truck. Crazy! Stay Safe on the road.
Great video! 👍
Good stuff!! All facts.
The impression Benni gives is that it is acceptable to cut corners as a truck driver. Sure, if you don't have a problem with risking your life, risking the life of others, paying more for insurance and setting a really crappy example to all of the young truck drivers that watch your videos. We all run risks in the trucking industry no matter how diligent we are with keeping our equipment up to standard and driving safely. But let me find out that an unsafe driver has taken out someone in my family and I will do everything in my power to ensure they suffer from the consequences they deserve (prison, lawsuit). I have no problems using my in cab camera footage to send to company's or provide to law enforcement if it gets an unsafe driver off the road. Major applauds to you Load Mizer for this video. I have shared it with other trucking buddies of mine. It is truly shocking. And for those of you big rig or hotshot drivers that weren't shocked, you need to find other employment before it is too late.
Great info!
The front tire wear was caused from too much weight close to the gooseneck.
Good advice. Thanks for making this video.
As a new entrant to the hotshot world I really appreciate this!! Safety is first! Not TH-cam.
Run far away from it
My man is back at it! I love it!
Leave TH-cam alone for 6 months and come back to this mess 😂
@@LoadMizer yeah I literally couldn’t fathom when he said that was his best inspection yet 🤣 like man, setting the bar reallllll low there lmao
Greetings from Venezuela, brother, I am investigating the Hotshot business. Can you tell me or make a video about what the average payment per mile is, how many loads there are and what would be the best city to start the business these days? Do you recommend starting a Hotshot business? I wish you health, blessings, success and many dollars. I don't know how the message got to you, I'm using the translator because I don't speak English ha ha ha ha
"He was a good officer because he didn't put that on my record." No, sir, he was a bad officer because he should have nailed for all of the tires and did not do his due diligence to protect those driving around you. I never let my tires get that low on my pov and its 4 banger. Those tires are horrendous, and I guarantee, had you been stopped by on Ohio State DOT, you would have been shut down for all of it, and made to repair it before traveling on, if they let you continue.
💯 good feed back
Found your channel recently and subbed.. hope you start posting again
I definitely agree with that. Shouldn't be driven if you can't do a proper PMCS or inspection on your rig. That's how breakdowns, accidents, incidents and other bad things that can happen just by not taking a few minutes everyday to check out your equipment.
This is absolutely aweful. I cannot believe this. I've had a driver receive an OOS for having pebbles on the deck wedged In between the deck boards. That OOS was lifted once he picked ghe pebbles of the deck. Also had a driver get a OOS for having his 2nd strap 10' 4" down the load which was 4 inches past the 10ft mark. Those are insane OOS reasons in my opinion but imagine the seriousness of THIS OOS?
Any clue on what happened to al of haulin cashes stuff?
Im not even a hotshot but i use medium duty trucks to haul my equipment and even im passing roadside inspections, well except that 1 time utah state patrol told me to never bring my truck to their state ever again.. lol.. but I've passed everything since
Very informative, thank you.
You can get a battery box for the trailer for the break away that has different functions and has a dot check button.
If this was his best stop I shudder at the thought of what his worst one looked like.
Seeing his front tires like that would make me want to get the steering components inspected immediately! The front end doesn’t go out of alignment for no reason, it’s a sign that the ball joints, tie rod ends, ect have worn out of spec causing the misalignment. Forget a blown tire, imagine having a ball joint or tie rod failure while going 70 mph with a 20,000 lb + load behind you.
Exactly, any unusual tyre wear like that usually points to an alignment/camber issue.
Here in the UK we have a habit of wearing the outside edge of the l/h tyres out on vans/commercial vehicles because we have a lot of roundabouts on our roads (driving clockwise round a circle so weight leaning to the left) so if you have any sense you rotate your tyres/wheels from l/h to r/h side to even the wear out/maximise tyre life.
@@deezelfairy roundabouts have became popular here in the United States in recent years, I’m not a fan of them. It’s hard to use if you are towing a large trailer and most of the older drivers here don’t understand the proper etiquette.
I watched that video and what he was saying about that tire didn’t make since, he had to be driving for quite some time for that wire started to show, that just shows that he doesn’t do a proper pre nor post trip
Those steer tires looking like that are bad news. Seen them blow and take the truck the direction in which the tire blew. Luckily nobody was next to it or it would've taken the truck-trailer and vehicle next to it.
awesome. I was in shock just listening to him describe how bad his equipment is…
Are you located in Kentucky, and are you looking for a driver?
Damn I hadn't seen that video? Sad to see that kind of crap giving the hot shots a bad reputation 🤦🏻♂️.
How ya been load mizer I haven’t seen you since the loves a few years back
“If I get a good inspection this would be crazy” wow
Thank you. I appreciate how you laid that out. Too many are trying to make a game out of this profession and turn it into a comedy show. Yes, the humor is there and has its place, but not when it comes to jeopardizing safety. It gets crazy out there at times with the uneducated and drivers that don’t care. Like you,I have a family out there and I want to make it home myself. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Are you still doing hotshot?
Benny is always in some bullshit. Mostly self inflicted as he doesn’t take care of his gear or keep his paperwork in order.
You still in the hotshot biz? Rates are crap or myth?
Hotshot Benni is trying to keep it REAL and HONEST but the self-snitching will get him in trouble with DOT and lawyers. “I just drive by scales” 😬
Great video. You're speaking all FACTS. 👍
