Where can I buy that reflective tape with the white border around it like what’s on this one ? And what’s a good coupler lock to buy for this trailer ?
Best of luck to you with the new venture. I had a couple trucks in Texas and there were loads of those hot shots running around. Often wondered if they made any money. How are your other trucks doing? When I was getting around to going back into trucking you were quite influential so thanks for that. 👍👍
@@SCOTTISHTRUCKERTOMMY I know one guy local to me that has one and he does hot shot work for some of the car dealerships here. He said he's had a lot of business since the virus that shall not be named, with people buying cars and having them delivered to them.
Great set up with the fithwheel for the Mega Prius... I love love love the extra long trailer I know you got the skills to back it up and drive it around very very impressed
Sir Tim !!! PUT "'LED"" light strips down the bottom trailer frame so that people can see that you are pulling a trailer as those lights for clearance & turn aren't enough !!! HAHA Alot of ""blind ""Drivers at night !!!! Looking great for ""RV"" hauling !!!! ""KEEP IT SAFE""!!!!
WELL,, since you SOLD the trailer,, didn't think that you would respond ,,but thanks !! We have gotten both ""COVID ""shots & are doing fine as NO lasting side affects !! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!
Wow, there must be a lot of non CDL drivers out there destroying a lot of cargo freight, especially because of the tie downs and accidents, I'm surprised that the pit stop aren't shutting them down for good. I'm hearing anyone can become a hotshot driver guy in New Hampshire killed 7 motorcycle veterans, wipe them all out with his trailer take one idiot to ruining it for everyone.
Yea, they should at least make pulling a trailer (any trailer) an endorsement on the drivers license. I see a lot of idiots pulling these small trailers all the time without any load securement, not to mention all the dangerous maneuvers made while driving down the road!
I see tons of those "hotshots" pulled over at the weight stations and on exit ramps.....DOT loves them cause half the time they aren't tagged for what and how much they are hauling.....
@@williams6550 That's my point of having it as an endorsement on the license. Here in Georgia that's the difference between a class A & B CDL license. Class A is for combination vehicles & a Class B is for like dump trucks or similar size truck. Now you have to have a Class A to pull a trailer with a dump truck or it's equal. I was told that you can have a Class C CDL witch allows you to drive the delivery truck for FedEx, according to my niece because her mother worked there for a short time & I seen a picture of her CDL learners permit.
@@moondog3162 They got the word correct, most of them are just want a be truck drivers. There are a lot of good one out there also. It's like any profession, there's always a few dumb a$$es that make the others look bad! I started driving OTR for USA Truck back in early 2000. I've seen a lot of strange things out there on the road, trucks laying down taking naps, drivers tearing doors off the trailer, even see a few way off the road up into the woods on a straight away, just to mention a few.🙄😲🤪😎

Your trailer manufacturing company will have the reflective tape or any small trailer shop will sell generic tape
What’s the specs on the wire mesh floor on trailer? Where could I find it?
I think they call it 3/8 and any metal supply place should carry the expanded metal sheets in 3 sizes
Can’t believe that trailers is only $7k. What a good deal. Money maker.
Technically I paid $7900 and now have $8900 in it but it’s a $14k trailer

The guys in Texas were getting strong money without having to maintain a 175000 tractor unit. Very interesting.
@@SCOTTISHTRUCKERTOMMY Yeah, if you play your cards right its decent money.

Just my opinion, trailer needs some chicken lights and some quarter fenders.
Great video & nice upgrades, thanks for sharing! Nice clip there at the end! That looks like fun!! Ka moan.😎
Tim are you selling already ? Saw the post on Facebook. 🇦🇺

Life is Good. That’s a shame, hope it works out in the end for you.
Life is Good. Hi Tim I do not use Facebook. Are you selling the trailer? If so how much do you need for her? Thanks.
Anthony Bressler I have $8900 in it with the upgrades and new ramps was $795 it retails new at $14k
@@LifeisGood2018 How can you not get insurance on it? Everybody and their brother has these pulling around the country!

Chevy's really don't last long doing hotshot probably would have been better off with the Ram or Ford since Chevy have the lowest towing rating
thats my cosin joes freind rofus or rufus
8ft ramps won’t work on corvette style cars. Carry some 2x6 Wood does the trick!!!!

First flatbed comment 🙈
Ok but doesn’t count as this is not a flatbed 🤣🤣🤣
