Good job Alex! As always you're very professional!! We need more of that in our profession!! Keep that up. You're fine example. I plan on doing the same. I look forward in watching your new channel and will support as well! Keep them coming Sir! See you on the next one!! Ken!! Oh! 👍🏾💪🏿✌🏿
@@Table_Top_Farms Thank you! Yeah the new channel is just getting up and running. Not much content on there but all my food videos, gym and everything else not work related will be on that new channel. Appreciate your support as always 👍🏻
Great content as usual Alex. Always motivating to watch you work. As a long haul trucker myself, I look forward to seeing how you balance work while staying mentally and physically healthy. Stay safe brother.
@@Far-cw2xy Thank you! I appreciate that. I started a new channel which will be dedicated to food, gym and lifestyle in general. Check it out 🙂 youtube.com/@ogdonutbeastmiami?si=hQi1TcrII74feI8w
I love ur channel thank u for ur honesty ive actually thought bout getting into that kind business just dnt know where to start i want make life change for me and my family and make more money
Love the video Alex. First time seeing securement with the tarp first then the strap. Makes sense. Looking forward to the other channel. With the summer hear in Arizona and Texas how often do you sleep in the truck vs a hotel? I know crashing out in the truck saves money. Stay safe out there man. Great work week💪👍
@@alvinmann7675 Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. The new channel is still a work in progress but will have new content soon. As for sleeping, I never get a hotel. I used get one on the weekends but might anymore. 👍🏻
@@graromero619 Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. I agree the drone makes videos more interesting. It’s sometimes challenging to make time to put the drone in the air but I’m trying to add drone shots from now on in the videos. 👍🏻
Honestly you are definitely the best hot shot TH-camr out there rn. You have good quality of content and you sprinkle in other things like food and what you’re doing on resets. One thing I’m curious about is in this hot weather, especially the south and places like Arizona, how do you get by with just that Milwaukee fan? Are you just more resistant to hot weather?
@@graromero619 Thank you! Really appreciate that. It’s tough with the heat. Fortunately most places I’m at are not super horrible at night. I’ll run the truck right before I go to sleep to cool it off and then use the fan when I shut the truck down. Haven’t really had to idle the truck. I considered to get a portable battery ac unit but honestly there’s just no room to keep everything in the truck.
@@richardbarkley9909 Thanks! Yeah I’ll try to add more drone scenes into the videos. Sometimes it’s hard to find the time to do that because it’s not as easy as grabbing the camera and turning it on.
@@graromero619 Thank you! There’s not much you can do to conserve diesel. Don’t idle, lower loads are better on diesel consumption. Get a good fuel card too to save on the price. Try to keep your speed no higher than 70 mph. The faster you go the more diesel it burns.
Hey Alex Love Watching the Videos But Quick Question as You Dropped on Sunday So it Means These Trips Are From The Last Week Right? It Means You Are Still Gonna Upload another on Fir This Week
@@huzaifamurtaza386 Thank you! Yes the trips were from previous week. As for uploading new videos if that’s what you’re asking about, I try to do it as soon as I get a chance to edit them and upload. Sometimes it’s challenging while working but I’m trying my best.

How do you know the total hauling capacity for hotshot. For trucks it’s pretty straight forward. I am planning on getting a Ram3500 dually. With a 40 ft trailer. I am a CDL A license holder. Please if anyone can explain with numbers.
@@JesalBrahmbhatt well when you. Uh a trailer, it has a gvwr. Take your trailer weight and subtract it from that and you’ll know how much payload you can put on your trailer. You also have to know what your truck is rated for towing. Figure trailer weight plus payload it can hold and you’ll know what you can tow.
Hello, I've been watching your videos for a little over 1 year now and you encouraged me to get my CDL. I now work for Pepsi and my goal is to one day become a hotshot. I was wondering if you're looking for any employment, or if I can work under you. I forgot the term for that at the moment. Just a quick question nothing serious. Have a good day!
@@Bizzy10064 Hey, thank you for your continuous support. I’m happy to hear that I helped you in some way to get your CDL. Unfortunately I am not looking to lease anyone on at this time. Possibly in the near future.

@@brettdaniels3606 Thank you! I really appreciate that. To start, you have to secure a truck and trailer and then do all the business registrations.
@@Mr.AlexKogan ok thank u sir I will start looking on how to get that all done

Great content as usual..when you go thru the ports of entry do you ever get inspected?
@@JV-xy7uh Thank you! I rarely get pulled in. I have had two inspections though within the last 2 years.
Sweet drone footage

hey Alex, I’ve been watching your channel for about four months now and I always wondered are you willing to share your dispatcher?
@@excellenceneverdies Hey Thanks for watching. I prefer to keep the dispatcher private.
Do you charge extra when you have to wait that long?
@@thechoznjuan6886 Usually the standard is 2 hours free and then you get detention pay. Typically it’s $50 an hour.
In a situation where a load is booked and you get there and its not ready can you charge a detention fee?
@@richardbarkley9909 Yes and every broker has their own rules but typically it’s 2 hours free and then you get paid by the hour afterwards.

Hi
What is your weight on your registration for your tag, is it 26001 or 30000 or more. I just have 26000 on my plates right now.
