he should've been more thankful that you made the effort to call him out...you're looking out for him
Very good 👍 👏 👌
Fir a planned call. Rather disorganized.
“Hi are is this business? You are main driver? On date, location you had a red ex cab Ford on front of empty wedge. That is very unsafe, as weight is high without lower weight to offset….” He was trying to understand what you were saying. So you want more government interference? Did you look for info?
It wasn't a planned call. I didn't write a spill or stand in front of a mirror practicing. I just called him and that's it. I'm doing more than 99% of people do 🤷♂️
Good job. We need more drivers like you
Thank you 💪👊
i've seen soo many people flip over like that, one guy here in town about 3 weeks ago making a turn from the 260 on the beeline with a take 3 flipped over just making a left turn with 3 cars on the trailer...
That sucks, hopefully driver wasn't hurt 🙏🙏
It makes my piss boil that there are guys that don't even know the basics.
Yea it's nuts. Hopefully he learns before something happens to him.
He seemed pretty civil. Good on you for calling him out, but posting the companies business like that isnt really that cool.
Hope he takes your words to heart.
I'm the 1st one to publicly do something about this HUGE problem that I see on the road everyday. That company's business is our business when he is risking our family's life on the road and I'm hoping by bringing awareness we stop others from doing this. 🙏 💪👊🇺🇸
@@hotshotnewengland I just started my own trucking business, im hoping to work my way up to big rigs. Looking up to guys like you to learn along the way. Thanks for the videos
I use to be a yard jockey with a spotting tractor ,dummy's would load trailers with full drums of chemicals 4drums on back than when they got to front they would double stack them I would refuse to pull them until they reloaded, the right way ,we had one of our guys pull one that flipped when he turned the corner almost lost his Job over that mistake
Everything you load needs to have the weight properly distributed. Whether it's a wheel barrow, a boat even a grocery cart doesn't work well if you put all the weight in the front. When it comes to trailers, the rule of thumb is 15-25% tongue weight for a gooseneck, 10-15% for a bumper pull. My 30' Big Tex is 15-17% if you spread the weight equally...that's by design. Someone loading a vehicle up over the tongue is straight up stupid! They think they have a "big" truck that can handle it...it's unsafe and the fuel mileage will be worse also.
The man said thanks and he didn't know, so why are you still bustin on the dude.
Rushing off the phone and didn't ask 1 single question.........I guess we can disagree on this one which is fine. Thank you for watching.
You should watch your own videos, He clearly sit and listened to your lecture, what did you want him to do? I don't blame him for not wanting to talk with you hell you had 30 friends flip over nobody wants that. You must be jinxed.
@@mcmneace He understood what I was saying at 2:20 and he hung up at 3:30 so I spoke for 1 minute and 10 seconds. The only question he asked during that 1 minute conversation was "How did you get my number?". If someone was telling you what you are doing is risky, dangerous, and that you could lose your business that's the only question you would have and then rush off the phone? I think you watched a different video than everyone else 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Your a great guy for calling him 👏
Thanks 💪👊🇺🇸
Thats whats wrong with some of these hotshot operators they don't have a clue of what they doing
Yep facts
Can you make a video on car placement? Most people just don’t know there aren’t any videos on it.
I will make a video on this topic
It's more like sitting on the edge of a three legged stool. It's safer to keep the load over at least two legs (the tires) and not one leg (the ball coupling).
Good example 👏
I see this all the time man and if it’s not that then they load the wedge backwards trucks on top cars on the back. These guys come out here with no training no experience I’ve had to show guys how to strap cars down at the auctions before.
I teach guys all the time too. Even a mandatory quick 1 day class would help a lot
BTW good job on doing your part and helping out too 💪👊
I think its great that you did this and I was right with you hoping it was an employee, but wow. If I was doing something wrong I would want someone to tell me and help me. I understand people are just trying to make a living but like you said maybe there should be more training, to really lessen the risk of accidents happening. Anywho thank you for making this video and all the videos you put out. You make quality content that is helpful useful information and also entertaining. Keep up the good work, keep making great content and most importantly drive safe bud.
Thank you 💪👊
It's one thing to risk it with a car up top by itself. But here we have a f250 crew cab diesel truck. This dude is risking it all. Not just his business but his entire life.
To make it worse, I'm trying to help him and he could use the opportunity to ask questions or advice but he doesn't care one bit
Hopefully he learns for the next load.
I agree, hopefully he learns before something bad happens 🤦♂️🤷♂️
He wont, everyone has there own way of doing things. Especially trucking....you can't tell us shit! Everyone is best out here!
Just passed one with 2 up top 🤦🏻♂️
You wonder why DOT messes with hotshots??? THERE YA GO! I saw a hotshot, CDL load, with one strap on each 10 foot section. Not a continuous load..single, 10 foot pallets, I was blown away! Running 75-80 MPH....10 ply tires....SCARY!
There are idiots on hotshots and semi setups but semi flatbed or semi car hauling drivers get at least some minor training by their boss or by a colleague. Hotshot owner operators just get behind the wheel of a Dodge 3500 and hit the road for the 1st time with zero experience.
@@hotshotnewengland yup that's why dot continuously gets them. I've had 2 inspections since August 2019. No violations. I know guys that get 2 inspections a week! If you roll through that scale house like you are supposed to, they won't bother you.
@@All-Miles-Matter I agree. With my current truck I haven't had 1 inspection and I been driving this truck since November 2020.
@@hotshotnewengland seeee!!! People don't believe me sometimes! I'm like bro... It's called scale house etiquette. You ride thru that scale house and all the visual indicators are there you will be fine.
Quick Google search. "On flatbed trailers with no header board carrying lighter cargo, like fiberboard and drywall or general freight on pallets, two straps must be placed in the first 10 feet (about 3 meters in Canada), and one for every 10 feet after that, she says". If green (new) to industry just look it up not hard to do.
Like you said common sense isent so common. he wasn't interested in learning there's no shame in asking for help there's a lot of shame in killing some one do your research ask questions we were all new I let new ways to do things all the time
We all started somewhere so there's no shame in learning. I did my part 💪👊🇺🇸
I wish more people did this. Heck if I had something wrong I would be glad to take constructive criticism. Good job bud.
Thank you, I tried. He didn't seem to like me calling him but it's OK🤷♂️ 💪👊
I’m sure you planted a seed. He’ll think about it next time. At least I hope.
@@DosGringosRanch 🙏 yep, I hope so too
Good looking out for the driver, hopefully he listen. 👍
💪👊I hope so
