Trucker talk.
Take a drink every time Mr. Lassiter is able to do something.
Retired after 45 Years a couple years ago and my first impression was overkill and this is unnecessary for the demand. Then I thought TWICE and realized this is smart ... VERY SMART ! Why didn’t I do it this way.
You young bucks are living the Dream I should have lived. Kudos to the Roadmaster Lassiter. He did this one right and the same to you. Love your attitude about a great tradition of thinking on your feet. Smooth lanes to ya.
My hat is off to anyone who puts in time and builds something for retirement! Thanks for the support Mr. Bennett
So I used to run hotshot and I loved every minute of it. I have also ran a lot of class 8 big rigs flat bed, side dump, and car hauler. This setup is sick and there was a day I'd give anything for a similar setup. If I were ever to get back into hot shot again I'd go over and get a single axle tractor out of Cali with a Detroit. They can match mpg of a loaded pick up with way more power under the hood. Full air ride axles cab and driver seat. Add all the cost of all the accessories and price of the new pickup truck and that price is pretty steep. Especially when you figure how soon you will need to replace the truck. Class 8 truck will go 1 million pulling 80k easy. Would go way longer pulling light hot shot loads. Just my 2 cents.
Exactly, I agree with the single axle trucks, these smaller trucks west out way too quick. I had a brand new Ford and it didn’t last 3 years
My favorite was when you said the reason why you work and do everything you do is for your family. That’s awesome and way to go on your success! I hope you and your family continue to be successful and have all the things the good lord has prepared for y’all!
Been loving roadmaster conversions for years, soon 4 ft will be added to my truck for this.
That A/C is ridiculously big for that setup. That generator could power my house. You definitely don’t do things small. 😃 great video! Beautiful truck!
Semper Fi brother i see that you were in the Marine Corp. I'm a Sergeant First Class in the Virginia Army National Guard. I have Three tours to Iraq under my belt and currently going back to Iraq for the fourth time and i want to start Hotshot Trucking when i come back from Iraq. Seeing your rig makes me want to get a setup something like you have but i have two dogs and my wife i would like to drive around the country with. I have a big family of nieces and nephews that would probably love to ride with me to see the United States. Love your truck!!!!
Did you make it? How’s the business going?
@@CharlieO77 I made it home safely and moved to Texas. I haven't started my business yet but i still plan to drive for myself. You know how life gets in the way sometimes and i'm expecting my first child in the next couple of months. I will keep you posted how things are going
@@SupaSargeakaQ congrats on your first child. That’s goo to hear you made it safe. Don’t lose your north bro keep up the grind hopefully you’ll be doing that soon.
@@CharlieO77 appreciate the positive words
No..... I'm afraid this is NOT the "Ultimate Hotshot Sleeper"..... This is the total ULTIMATE HOTSHOT RIG!!!!..... As I'm not too much of a fan of Ram, this is quite impressive!!!..... You are the definition of a HUSTLER!!! Way to go man! You're making some DAMN great money, NICE job!! I'm highly impressed with you and your level of GRIND!!! Stay safe out there!
He sold it long ago and is in a big Volvo.
I love the color! My 18 3500 is the same color. Awesome build! Lots of mile and lots of smiles! Good luck and I hope to meet you on the road some day!
Been driving big rigs for 16 years and hotshot for almost 2 years in a stock 2018 3500 4x4. I've been trying to get my current company to switch from the 3500 to at least the 4500 with the air ride gooseneck also hydraulic dovetail. 3 months into driving hotshot I bought a ford f350 king ranch which ended up getting stolen 3 hours after I bought it. 3-18-2018 Been trying to recover from that ever since. I'm currently still deciding to go back to driving big rigs. I really like this setup. This would be perfect for me. I also do game/software development when I'm on my breaks. Behind me, I have a mini frig hooked up to a 750-watt power inverter and a mattress going from the back seat to the front passenger seat. Then can't forget my co-driver. My 9-year old brindle pitbull. Great video!
Big rigs are cool because of all the added space and comfortable. I’ve got a Volvo 780 right now and this thing is a castle compared to my 3500. The hotshot sleepers are on a different level tho. I’ve got a friend on Instagram who found a 2017 4500 with the sleeper with 95k miles on it for $30k. Another guy found a 2015 4500 with the sleeper and 185k miles for $20k. Both guys bought the trucks, put some cash into the engine and suspension, and now sleep extremely comfortably with low payments on their trucks. If you’re looking to go the RoadMaster sleeper route, that might be a good start for yourself.
This just shows me ANYTHING GOOD is possible, you actually made a way for the family in the Hot-Shot with no excuse. Wow 😯
Your well respected & the definition of a real-solid family man! (I 💯% Respect You for this One man)
#MOTIVATION! & #DEDICATION!
Mr. Walker, thank you for your support man! It’s greatly appreciated and I definitely needed that motivation this morning! ✊🏻✊🏻
@dream inspired
Any time Brother ! 🙏🏾✊🏾😊🎉
Take a drink every time he says Mrs lassader you will be hammerd
It's very exciting to see how you've come along from episode 2 and 3, to now. It's inspiring how you make videos now, very awesome to see that development! Keep on keepin' on, Brother!
New sub, TH-cam truckers with semi's wore me out with the drama and void content. I like how positive you are and a "phenomenal" Hustler 🤣💪🏾🙏🏾
no drama on my channel only real daily driving stats for real life on the job in 360 view just click my icon :)
What a ride! I don't need a 5500, but I definitely want one. The only thing your truck is missing is a Kelderman air suspension and a Pacbrake Loadleash brake.
They come with a jake brake.full or auto.
I took it up on myself to name your rig “The Imperial Warrior”. This is great. 🤙🏻. Safe travels
Dude you went all out on your setup, love the air ride fifthwheel
Real nice rig. Best of luck with it and Happy Trails.
Not gonna lie, that’s the best set up I’ve seen for hot shot. God bless you and your family while you are out on the road.
Much appreciated sir! I’ve seen quite a few really cool custom set ups. Some other guys are more creative than me. You be safe as well! 😎
Love your video and the truck.
MAINLY LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY 1st...
Take good care and drive safe. God bless you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Dodge really stepped their game up. I've been diehard Chevy for life, but Dodge is the best thing going these days. Cummins is hard to beat as well, Nice Hauler
Aloha Jason. Bless you and you're family while u on the road bradda' . Mahalo Nui Loa (thank you many much) for all this knowledge and share of many of you're videos. 🤙🏾🤙🏽🤙🏾
I love this! Thanks brother! 🤙🏻
Awesome vid. your becoming a pro, throwing a little humor in! lol I love it....
Thanks for the in depth look at the truck it's really amazing as always God bless keep safe out there 🙋♂️
Very very nice set up! I'm about to get into car hauling hot shots & the guy I'll be driving for has a '18 dodge kinda like yours. I've drove OTR for bout 15 years & this will definitely be different.. I've kinda gotten tired of big trucks etc. Anyways, your truck is a 💯 beauty... #StayBlessed
This is one of the coolest trucks I’ve ever seen! It’s beautiful!
no kidding. best setup i've seen. if i had this truck setup, i would never need to go home....lol
Eh, I do miss my daughter. Can’t wait to see her when I get home lol
I'm intrigued...who is this mysterious Mr. Lasider?
were you not listening? He's the dude who runs the roadmastertruck.com website!!!
He is the owner, I think, of Roadmaster Truck.
That guy make a sleeper!
Is he a sales man, ?
sweat install for sure. Love that Ram!!!
All right guys I am rockin" the truck but I would rather be rockin' with the band. Cool, Rocking, Great.
That’s pretty dope. We have quite a few 4500 and 5500 that we do various things to, flat beds, custom etc. our cab and chassis 5th wheel package is becoming requested a lot more
Do you have a website
Jason! Great content & very Thorough & informative. Super nice unit! I have the exact same gas generator on my 32 ft class C RV.
That set-up is incredible. I'm glad everything worked out well for you. Wicked nice!
"lets start this Baby up and see what happens" - Diesel humming smoothly, Hmm Sweet! {ps. thinking of the 2020 GMC Denali} but This is a Sikk truck man, Congratz!!
Get a ford
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get real MaseritiLife, that Ram vs. 2020 plastic Denali with the gauge cluster and interior from a Chevy Sonic - not a chance.
@@kimojon9665 Is your head up your ass for the warmth or what? Plastic GMC? Not. GM1
GMC all the way
Glad to see everything's going well brother looking forward to seeing more and I can't wait to start back up with my TH-cam after all of this mess is done with my wreck then I'll be able to talk about it this keeping quiet and not being able to talk about anything it's about to kill me, but if there's anything I could sit is I really wish people would quit texting and driving because my life has fallen apart since it happened. But I'm keeping on and I'm pushing as hard as I can and I don't know if you've seen any of the videos I've done but the powerstroke I bought in January, literally 17 days ago something broke in the front end and my wife rolled it taking our son to the movies luckily both were fine not even a scratch and it did what it was supposed to do protect precious cargo, but man it's amazing how bad the devil is always out to get you while your down already.
Looking forward to seeing it ✊🏻✊🏻
That is one awesome looking truck Jason! Stay safe on the road my friend.
PRO TIP: That carbon monoxide alarm should be mounted LOW in the cab below the level of the bed. Carbon monoxide is heavier than air, mounting the detector at ceiling height is a recipe for disaster and for your untimely death.
There's a myth that carbon monoxide alarms should be installed lower on the wall because carbon monoxide is heavier than air. In fact, carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and diffuses evenly throughout the room
Adam Holmes that is what the package of my new alarm said on it so I guess the companies that make them don’t want to save people
s104btcummins you should follow the manufacture’s instructions for sure. Otherwise it may not work as designed. I don’t know how they do it, it isn’t what we are taught in school.
Just install 2 one at the top and one at the bottom better to be safe just in case one fails.
Theres a lot of debate about this. In forr academy, we learned that they always should be mounted low. But, in this I stance, I think it makes sense to keep is as close to the bed as possible
sleeper info at 16:00 minute mark!
I love this truck. Something I would never be able to afford, but you are definitely living the dream for a hot shot driver!
Never say never. I was homeless with my license revoked a few years back! You can do anything
Dream Inspired I work on my parents diary farm and I make ZERO ANRJFJDJD LOVE THE CHANNEL!
That's the video I've been waiting for, very nice take care of it man, God bless you
im digging the dually w /sleeper...
Nobody:
Jason: “ phenomenal”
Every time 👍🏻🤣✊🏻
Best rig I have seen for Hotshot. Bad to the bone!
Thanks bro!
Best vid yet!!! That setup is freakin awesome! Congratulations man!
Nice someone on TH-cam that actually keeps his truck clean
😂 can’t help it... Marine Corps taught me well lol
If I got a dime for every time you said "hey guys" and a nickel for "guy" I'd be able to buy 2 of those trucks ... Just saying.. lol
Robert B or a nickel for “limited edition”
That's a phenomenal observation
And "Alright guys"
“Mr Lastner”
Great video! Love the limited edition and all those add-ons 👍👍
That truck is awesome. The inside looks like a spaceship.
I feel like an actual 18 wheeler would have cost less and done the things you wanted better
Both new? No way. My buddy just build a ramp 18 wheeler to haul equipment for $250k. No sleeper or anything extra. Cant compare old VS new, if you compare new VS new and in the same power the prices are different both on purchase and maintenance.
NHK EXPRESS He has got $110k in that truck. You can get a nice Freightliner for that much!
@@turbomustang8417 I build my elog exempt F450 hotshot truck for $20k, with rebuilt 6 speed 1 year warranty and warranty on motor, upgraded turbo with tuner. My 9 car hauler also elog exempt with the trailer cost me $30k after taking care of all the small issues, running all new 12v wiring and new LED lights all around. No need to spend $110k but if you got it and want to and it fulfill your needs why not, also less taxes if you are doing your taxes correctly.
The is because this got everything on his truck.The truck got to much weight on top of it.I have one Dodge Ram 2015 Max tow package and a 48 foot trailer and sleep.I spent 97.000 total.I got my sleep with road master too
You would double or triple Maintnance/fuel. The only issue I have is what you would be left with Weight.
Just subbed. Awesome content and what an amazing rig. Love it. Stay safe out there
Wow..awesome truck!! I too live in what other's call paradise, Tampa,FL..so seeing other places such as Nevada and Ca was a great change for me too..Safe travels to you and your family! God bless you all...btw...I just found out what "Hot Shot" even meant!! I guess it's not just a brand of bug spray!! haha
I know this video is 2 years old but I still want to get my opinion on this. As someone who has been driving trucks before I was 18 this is absolutely a sweet setup. Back in the '80s I went and got a class A license. That's why way before CDL licenses. The laws back then was so goofy that I was allowed to have a class A license but since I was not 18 I could not drive out of state. When I was older I would drive locally all week long and on Friday nights I would switch out my day cab for a sleeper. I have to say some of the best sleep in my life was in the sleeper on the truck I drove on Friday nights. Now that I'm retired I am going to seriously look in to getting something like this. I like to travel I just don't like having to check in someplace every night just to sleep. Anyone who has driven a sleeper cab tractor we'll all say about the same thing.
Who were you saying and I'm not even sure if it would be an issue is the fact of sleeping with a generator running and not a truck. Whenever I would stop for the night it didn't matter winter or summer my truck would not be turned off unless I was inside the truck stop getting something to eat or taking a shower. So I'm not sure if it wasn't the vibrations from the big diesel in front that made it so comfortable to sleep at night.
I most definitely hit the like button on this and I hit the subscribe button. Anybody who provided this great information deserve from loving. As soon as I hit the post button on this I'm telling over to the website to see what I have to do to get started to buy one of these. Again thanks for the great information and video
Really good video bro
I’d love to hear some ins and outs of hot shotting .
It’s a cool setup, but I still prefer my Frieghtliner.
Just buy a Freightliner with an APU and your set. Don’t want to rock a class 8 vehicle? Just take one rear axle off of the truck. Full size fridge/ microwave/bed/ closets/43” tv/ etc. and be able to stand up. Get a million more miles outta the truck.
I hear that man! That wasn’t the point in this build tho. I’ll be picking up my semi soon... don’t let the cat out of the bag yet tho lol
Captain OFFRAMP you’re a little low on your quote there big guy. Like I said in multiple videos already, this build wasn’t about hotshot trucking. When you’ve got the capital, who cares what it costs 🤣🤣 happy 4th
Please don’t take it the wrong way. You clearly have a passion to drive & are out there making it happen. I’m not throwing shade, just want to see you to continue to grow. Keep up the solid work ethic.
@@DreamInspired a first time viewer wouldn't know that... I see hotshot trucking in the goddamn title lol
What would that get for fuel?
I hope to do that for a living in the next 4 or 3 years. Love your set up man
Cant wait to see the new videos if your ever in the Los Angeles area let me know. Cool to see good use of the truck. I seen 6,000 miles on the truck already..
I believe I seen you yesterday heading south on I-29. Great looking truck had to look twice ha
That was me! 👍🏻👍🏻
Sweet ride bud! I bet that thing will roll with a nice load!
Super nice rig. I been looking for a 5500 for awhile, run a 2014 mega cab. Sleep in it all the time and run 1000 miles a day sometimes. Haul heavy loads also. Cross the scales the other day at Pilot 47,600 standing out of truck and low on fuel. Outlaw Trucking from Texas run all over the US and try to go around Tennessee always open. Never stop at a weight station in my life. DOT Say What.
So you run 13,600 pounds overweight and have never been scaled ever? Consider yourself extremely lucky. Just be ready for that day when you hit the portable scales (which can be set up almost anywhere) or when one of those white highway patrol cars sees you looking a little heavy and decides to break out the drive-ons. I hope you save your money man cause you're heading for the biggest ass reaming you've ever heard of.
I watched a few of your videos. Like a boss. I run my own setup and well on my way. Keep up the good work! Keep hustlin
Saw you in Sioux Falls at the Rhino Truck wash on Saturday morning June 29th (never going to that truck wash again lol) didn't know that you had a youtube channel. Very nice set up!
I’ll agree there man, last time I go to the insane place. Waste of time and money!
The block heaters work great! I have a 16 ram 4500 and live in Minnesota. My truck fired right up after sitting outside in -20+ when plugged in
Wow that’s pretty awesome. I turned my 3500 off for a bit in -16 and it took a few seconds to crank over. I’m sure that block heater would have helped a ton
@@DreamInspired With the generator, you have the power for the block heater anywhere you are.
Love all of your attribution and shows of gratitude.
Most impressive hotshot setup I’ve seen. Big ups driver 💯
@dave ortwine what the ! does that mean?
So much hating here. Come on its a super nice truck. I wish I had one like that, but I can’t afford it. Its his money and thats where he decided it to invest it. Great job man. 👍🏽
💯💯💯 agreed.. that's what I thought!! I'm like geez, this mans driving it why do they care what this man drives!! #StayBlessed
Dallas Long Amen brother.
That is a beautiful ride
N Gzz I agree, it’s his money and if it’s making him money than why not just leave the guy alone. Everybody’s got their personal like to doing something.
Its a public forum your bound to get positive and negative comments
Love your set up Devil Dog. Semper Fi and safe travels. I might see you out there. I'm running a 26ft box truck with sleeper conversion attachment.
Coolest truck I've seen so far. Thanks for this video...😊😊😊
Stay safe out there...👍👍👍
Thank you sir!
After days of videos on hot shot trucking, this is by far the best rig I’ve seen. You did this right. What does this entire unit cost? All of it, trailer tools everything. You did this smart bro 😎
I would of did it differently if just work, because those reae seats aren't needed for that, space is better used.
That thing is awsome!! Beautiful truck man. I'd love to have somthing like that
Sweet ride man...stumbled across your video by accident and crazy to me to see Boynton Beach on the door....I live and work in Lake Worth/Lantana lol...
Cool rig my friend, I just bought me a 3500 megacab Ram limited edition and night edition very happy with it. Be safe out on the road and keep trucking.
Semper Fi brother!
Good Shit Mr. Lassiter!! 👍
Inspirational, keep up the great work!
Nice my dear.. good job & stay safe on the road..!
Ultimate tow rig 100%
with an ultimate price tag....
PokerMan ha ha you ain’t lying
Well done devil dog!!
SF
Awesome video and even more awesome truck!!! Definitely the mack daddy!! Been thinking a lot about getting into driving, ur videos r very informative, thank u.
Thanks for the support man. ✊🏻✊🏻
Clean set up !
Great video, keep it up
' The Imperial Land Yacht '
Those Cummins come in the worst shipping crate . . . jk great rig
Very nice set-up. 😎
Glad to see the truck is going great for you
16:21 Hey I know that book cover. The Creature from Jekyll Island
Nice rig. Should have diesel generator though. Other than that it is specd perfectly. 👍
This is the only way to hotshot, I’ve seen a bunch of ghetto stuff and I just can’t stomach it, this is definitely the best I’ve seen..
Bad ass video and truck man .. One of my favorite vids
I'm in Miami I need to start my build asap.
@jody jones Im in Broward, let's get into this together.
@@Ovi-305 you build hotshot sleeper trucks what's the website
Thanks for all the videos your posting.
If you don't mind me asking. How much was your truck?
Well lets just say that generator alone is 3 to 4 thousand dollars. He didn't skimp out on this build I know that much lol.
Found this vid while scrolling. Love the truck. Just beautiful.
Nice job, that’s sweet you represent TP ❤️🤗
Love the set bro. Now let’s get rid of that beard marine. Haha
Nah rock that shit lol
2019 ram 5500 limited cummins 6.7 1000 torque
The 5500 is limited to 850 torque in 2019
That is one dope ass truck I like it love to get into hotshots money to be made out there just gotta get after it and that truck makes making money a little more exciting than getting up and having to make someone else big money where you can be making the big money stay safe driver
Nice truck, thanks for the vid.
great Video, Great setup, Cost$$$$$$$???????. I wish you and your Family well.
I actually enjoyed this video, you're great at explaining things without saying "um" all the time, plus who doesn't love this rig?! Subbed!
I struggle with it a bit. Most videos take at least 2 takes lol. Thanks for the support tho man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dream Inspired hell yeah man, keep on keeping on🤙🏼
I haven't seen any of your videos for a while, but damnit man, you've really stepped it up since the last time I watch. 👍👍
Glad to have you back John! ✊🏻✊🏻
Cool Roadmaster commercial!
