Yooo get 8ft drops for both trucks don’t limit yourself to loads. 4-6 aren’t really a thing nowadays with loads most are 8ft so I tell my drivers just get 8ft so we not missing no meals! ✍🏿
You need another tank in the back have it feed into the fuel neck going to the tank I have that on my f350 also reach out if you need work I have 15 hot shots that move empty containers for me could use 2 more
I’m 31 and in the process of getting my DOT RTD process started then getting my cdl back…I had my class B from 2017 to 2019 caught a dui and lost them…I’ve been able to get them back for 2 years now but I was bsing now I’m 31 and focused and on it…I love the vids get that bag bro i wanna be an owner op and Im gonna start with a pickup
Love the content man im out of GA too.. been watching you for over a year now and im proud of you for making that change to CDL. Im 27 and have my CDL too and started a channel just to document our journey and its been a great experience for us. Ive been in it for over a year now and he’s been doing it since ‘99.
@@entremike dang thats crazy lol .. well thanks for watching our vids too! Your content is amazing too! Idk if you watch JB truckn but i talk to him about 2-3 times a week on the phone.. really cool dude man
Non cdl 10,000 maximum anything above 10k a cdl is required but why limit yourself just get the cdl and proper knowledge and whatch your business sore knowledge is power keep up the good work my guy
Incorrect information. Any gross vehicle weight rating 26,000 lbs and under is considered non-CDL. Any gross vehicle weight rating above 26,001 lbs you need a Class A or B CDL depending on the gross vehicle weight rating.
question brother, on the NON CDL set up where you have the trailer D rated to 12k GVWR, does that mean you can only put total 12k lbs of car curb weight on the trailer. so basically two cars 6k LBS each max. i was thinking about getting the ram2500 single axel trademans 2023 since it weights less and GVWR is 10k lbs, i would be able to get a trailer of 14k lbs and basically have myself more weight to carry? i am NON CDL so wanted to know if its possible to do 3 cars? or would i have to stick to 2 cars?
Comments full of hate man 🤣 This man running his own business calling his own shots!! Owner/Operator > Worker/Employee. There’s plenty of money in hotshot!! Not every company needs to net millions 🤣
Correct me if I’m wrong but that non CDL set up can only carry 4k-5k lbs.. How can that be ideal/worth it? Seems to me like we should stop telling people they should get in without CDL.. PS love your content Mike and not trying to come at you but curious to hear the communities thoughts on this. Cheers
I’m in the process of getting my Class A I got my learners already but I’m trying to start my own building hauling cars. Im looking into purchasing a f150 with a 2 car trailer does that sound good to start off?
If I’m just getting ready to get started and just purchased a 40’ gooseneck flatbed trailer. Is it smart or even possible to rent a truck u til I can afford to buy one? Man would love some info
What he isn’t mentioning is all his expenses. Like those new truck payments, the trailer payments, the maintenance, the commercial insurance, cargo insurance, fuel, hotels. I call bullshit
@@kboogiebowman6986 Thanks that’s the route I want to take. I just got my Truck deleted yesterday so it can perform better now I just have to look into the license permits etc.

What's your profit off that 40k. There's another hot shot driver on here who grossed a million in a short period of time, and closed his doors three months later. It ain't what you make....it's what you keep.
Are you set up you say your trailer is a 31 + 5 so it's only 36 ft not 40 is that what you saying cuz I was looking to get a 40-footer so I'm looking at a 35 Plus 5 I just got to watching your video on Startup
You can haul the same type of freight just on a smaller scale these guys are like flat bedders they just hall smaller loads lumber,steel,bob cats,cars etc
What is the profit out of that a month unless Im asking to much... thinking on getting into driving . Man been doing some research and some say hell no dont do it..
How do u get into this type of job field 🤔 ?? I’ve always been around truck’s and trailers my whole life driving goosenecks and long trailers Most def gone put the work in to do type of job. If anybody can give me some insight would greatly appreciate it 💯🙏🏽
You’ll prob end up starving to death. There’s not enough freight to trickle down. I’m a company driver in a union and I’m just trying not to get laid off.
How do you de-rate a truck? Is it something that could be done with a a box truck or is it only specific to trailers? Say the truck has a GVRW of 33,000 lbs, but you’d like to get it de-rated 26,000 to become a non CDL box truck. Is that possible? Keep trucking & keep grinding
Does anyone know a Regional Hot shot company that provides the truck and trailer who’s hiring and is a good company and pays well? I have around 6-7 years driving semi, reefer, flatbed and dry van experience. Looking for maybe something doing Southeast and Southwest. Thanks in advance!!🦅💪🏻👍
I'm probably gonna end up doing hotshot trucking cattle and hay around my area here in Colorado I got a 1988 f250 gonna get a 30 to a 40 foot flatbed trailer for hauling hay and straw then a 18 to a 25 or a 30 foot cattle trailer for hauling cattle in the winter flatbed during the summer cattle during the winter and I'm not gonna be running over 150 miles tops but probably will be going into Kansas a small bit to the sale barn in Syracuse I can't remember how much a class b cdl cost but I wanna go no cdl on hot shot but if I have to run a class b cdl then by golley I will get a class b cdl for using my pickup and trailer don't get me wrong I love the company I work for the sale barn they have known me since I was knee high to a grass hopper but once the day is done I'll write my odometer meter down for the day end miles then next day go out right my beginning miles then reset my trip meter and get one on my phone also
I just dont get why anyone would wanna do this. You literally sleeping in the front seat of your truck with no leg room. Not only that you can't even carry as much as a semi and probably have to fill up more often
The cost of equipment licensing fees restrictions maintenance and even fuel are alot more manageable in a dually vs a commercial rig. one super single replacement on the side of the road will cost you 1000+ flying j road side assistance is where i learned this
@@stirlingmoore yeah but your payout is way less. And you’re only limited to doing flatbed. Its stupid. It’s okay to have a couple of these with addition of a couple semi trucks in a company but just running hot shot come on dude just go get your cdl you look ridiculous
@@MayorMcheese12 What do you think about starting with a dually and then graduating to a semi? I ask because I planned on getting started with hotshot because I have a nice Tahoe that I can trade towards getting a dually and that will lower my barrier to entry cost and let me learn the ropes before I hop straight into a semi truck. I also have 2 sons who just turned 21 who might not be comfortable jumping straight into semi loads. Just questions, I don’t know much at all about trucking so any advice would be appreciated.
@@hydrostatic3g that’s why you go to a trucking school man not everyone grew up driving trucks. There’s companies that will give you your cdl in a week or two. Yeah you’ll have an automatic restriction but you can now drive a big truck Simple as that. Driving a pickup isn’t going to change your comfort of driving a big truck. Just got to get out there and do it.

Thanks for tip. Am ready to do what it takes
Hello would you recommend Starting a Hotshot biz in 2022? Where would you run? What type of freight?
What is the make and model of the non cdl trailer and what is the max weight can you haul on it to stay non cdl compliant
where do you go online to get loads at?

PS love your content Mike and not trying to come at you but curious to hear the communities thoughts on this. Cheers
You are very wrong the load being 10,000 pounds or heavier would require a cdl anything under you are not required to have one
But spending 25k just to keep them running 10k on payments net take him 7k
Can you get a grant from the government to start up your hotshot business? I'm talking about the vehicle and trailer.
