- Hey y’all! 👋🏼 a subscriber asked about what equipment they needed to get started so I figured I’d just make a quick video on it!
Hope you enjoy! 😊

Good stuff. :)
Thanks!
Awesome stuff. Don't know if I should keep the straps on the winches or roll them up each time. What are your pros and cons?
@@RickAnderson-yf4pr I’d recommend keeping them on the trailer during summer season. Don’t gotta roll them up and it’ll free up space in the box
Really appreciate your videos, especially this videos sir. I'm going to be starting out hotshot like the previous viewer, I'm just now getting my business up an going (the foundation of the business). Thank you an I'm a subscriber to your channel I'd thought i would throw that in there lol. Have a wonderful evening.
Thank you for subbing and I’m glad the videos are helping! :)
Love the videos man keep it up! Hopefully will be getting started in a month or two, would like to see a video about insurance, needs cost etc.
Appreciate it and enjoy the hotshot adventure! Yeah I’m gonna make one here soon. In hotshot and semis.
Do you recommend having 4x4 lumber as well? Just trailer width? How many? Also I know you’ve had some issues with your trailer along the way. What make, size would you recommend for someone starting out on a budget? Also do you prefer gooseneck over 5th wheel setup? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks Tavis
I didn’t get any starting out. I got them overtime from loads. Some loads required dunnage but when I got there they said they had the dunnage to give me. Yeah I’ve had a few issues but I’m finding out my brake controller is due to a short in my truck. I would recommend Diamond C all day over any other ones. I’m bias tho. You can get a nice non CDL trailer for like $16k brand new. When I was getting quotes my diamond c was cheaper than any other brand with my add ons. If I had a CDL truck I would have done The gooseneck step deck from Diamond c(might be my next setup tbh)
Hi. Enjoy your videos. How much you make net on the Alaskan run, how many miles? Thanks and God Bless!
I lost money because I had tire and wheel issues unexpectedly and my back hauls cancelled on me. Coulda made $8k net
Appreciate the video bud! Do you ever have problems with your tarps getting taken when you over night at truck stops? My only concern with my tarps
Welcome! And so far nobody has bugged me or attempted to steal them. I would like a better location due to that
@truckertavis That's good man and hopefully it stays that way. I did a securement class with Macc a few weeks ago. I'm from San Antonio, Tx. I've heard in Houston of hotshot guys getting their tarps ripped off over night. I don't have any where else for my tarps to go except how yours are. I should be up and running on my own beginning of July.
What factoring company do you suggest?
I haven’t used anyone but RTS and they’ve done pretty good. I’ve heard sketchy things about Truck Stop
How long is your trailer? 40’ or?
35’
correct the spelling on the title my man it surpose to be started 🙂
Thank you for letting me know! Fixed it
