If you're planning on doing this I would suggest at lease removing tour rear seat and build a bed back there. There are videos showing how to do it. If its raised off the floor you will have storage under your bed.
Gotcha. keep in mind you need good rest when you're on the road. There have been some folks cut a piece of plywood to set on the seat but wider with a couple of legs to support it then a piece of memory foam. You wouldn't have to attach it and it could be removed easily when you're home.
Great video. Just a tip, I have never heard anyone call the Department of Transportation..."Dot" , like a woman's name. It is always pronounced as three separate letters. D O T Then again you may be setting a new trend. Keep up the good work.

If not big over weight DOT fine. 6 carry 2 spares for trailer, wheel bearing sets, 1 leaf spring. 1 oil/grease hub cap. 6 make this hotshot thing temporary. These trucks are not meant to last over the road constantly hauling. 7 good luck, your gonna need it fella..
Aye homie, just my understanding. Your truck gvwr is 10,000 and trailer is rated for 14,000=24,000-16,060=7,940lbs. You're trailer gvwr should be rated for 16,000lbs. That you give you 2000lbs more to put on the deck. I hope this gives you a better understanding. Good luck
Also dont forget when getting loaded, any platform the freight is on isnt included in the weight of the freight. 12 years in trucking and about to start running hotshot myself on the next couple of weeks myself.
I’m dropping another video this week coming up on tips and important things people need to know before getting in. Hopefully that video will bring more clarity
@@jamesroberts3494 Sure, so you will want to go to your state’s Secretary of State website to apply for your LLC. For your MC, you will need to go to the FMCSA website and type DOT application
1st my young brother its a cat scale not a real weight stationm,when I started many moons ago they cost 5,50 or 7,50 and a dollar for rerweighting the truck.i got 209 years out here, get your CDL license to save you some trouble
@@corntv1107 you can't be over GVWR truck or trailer on the scale, your truck axles scaled over your GVWR. If you put stuff in the truck you'll be more overweight. Your truck is rated for 10,000 & trailer 14,000 so you can only be 24,000 not 26,000, you cannot exceed either GVWR
Interesting I was driving a semi one time coming out of Houston. I went thru the scale and they made me pull over and adjust my fifth wheel to distribute the weight so my drive axles wouldn’t be over weight. I no your non Cdl but I thought you also have to be under the max axle weight as well.
Confused beyond belief. All these guys running non CDL and having trailer’s over 10k gvwr. Everything I researched saying you must have a CDL for over10k even if your under 26k overall. What am I missing?

Thank you……Lol, not sure how else to say DOT then saying DOT. I guessing I need to pause after every letter
You can’t find good workers like those kids in these days 😂
😂😂
Nice setup 👌🏾
Finally another hotshot channel. All the others stop posting for some reason. Let’s go! I really enjoy the day to day life of hotshot channels.
Thank you. Dropping another video soon
Good to find another @Mr.AlexKogan and @ChantsDailyHustle post most weeks. Another is blue sky hotshot just not sure of his TH-cam handle ATM.
Look at that teamwork ❤

Make sense! Thank you for the clarity
FYI your breakaway system has to be connected to a different point than your chains, that is a violation
Thank you! I corrected later on in the video
It is connected to the tie down in the bed not the chain
Definitely made that easy to understand. Appreciate it
Also dont forget when getting loaded, any platform the freight is on isnt included in the weight of the freight. 12 years in trucking and about to start running hotshot myself on the next couple of weeks myself.
Congratulation to you on starting your hotshot journey
Hey bro, absolutely great video. Thank you for always making something that helps others.
I appreciate that!
Nice set up. I didn’t know you needed an ELD when your non-CDL.
Yes sir, it is required
Thanks Broo Appreciate It For The Help… Thanks For You’re Videos
@@cojeloeazy1989 I appreciate the support
Were are you from I'm non CDL I'm Fayetteville NC
Hey I need your help I'm in fayetteville too I'm a truck driver wanting to downsize can u possibly help me out learn a few things?
I'm going to start calling you,Mr aftermarket man,good video
😂😂
Great break down man I’ve been debating so much on getting into the business
I’m dropping another video this week coming up on tips and important things people need to know before getting in. Hopefully that video will bring more clarity
Thank you sir... this is by far the best video explaining the correct non cdl wheights...
I’m glad this video was helpful
Any advice on getting started like LLC MC numbers an all the paper work involved???

@corntv1107 thanks man I will be doing that in about another month
@@jamesroberts3494 that’s good thanks for the questions. Let me know if you have any more questions
Nice. Hey broo with how many miles did you bought your 2015 truck?
I bought with 170k
Please check those aftermarket parts weight. You don't want to exceed your gvwr on the truck.
Yeah that’s why I went and got weighed to make sure I don’t go over weight
well explained .keep those videos coming
Thank you for the support
I need me a Yeshua hat like that bro!
@@jrem4283 I’ll have merch dropping once I get to 1k subs
Nice setup sir.
Thank you
Heavy truck
But trucks gvwr is 10000 and you already at 5060 + 5180=10240 how that work
The gvwr is not the weight of the truck
1st my young brother its a cat scale not a real weight stationm,when I started many moons ago they cost 5,50 or 7,50 and a dollar for rerweighting the truck.i got 209 years out here, get your CDL license to save you some trouble
I pray that I stay healthy and strong to live as long as you
The payloads capacity 9,940,lbs too small. There any possibility for you to get 12,500 lbs payload capacity
I believe I can add 2,000 lbs on my trailer axles to carry more weight
There’s a spot for an extension in bed plug.
@@zarfx4127 yeah you right
Is the truck stock? No tuning or would that just give you issues with DOT?
@@abautomotivedetail6315 No it is deleted and tuned
@@abautomotivedetail6315 No issues with DOT
Thank you!
👍🏾👍🏾
Truck is rated 10,000 & you scaled 10,240 so your truck is over.
Trailer GVWR 14,000-scaled 5820=8180.

Do you have air bags in the rear or spri gs
I do have air bags in the truck but the trailer is not air ride
Maybe I’m wrong,but air rid on trailer for only CDL holders
No, non cdl can have air ride trailers as well
How long is your trailer bro
40 foot trailer
😂😂😂😂
Are you limited to what type of loads
Nope, just have to make sure on the dimensions and weight of the loads.
@@corntv1107 gotcha. Planning on getting your CDL? Hopefully you can do a video breaking down getting loads, dispatcher or load boards.
@@unscripted_journey I do plan on getting my cdl. I will definitely do a video of dispatching and finding loads
@@corntv1107 thanks. Keep it up. I’m on starting process of my own. Also a video on starting your hotshot business would be great
@@unscripted_journey Definitely will! I got you. I will give a in depth overview of how to start and things to look out for
What foot is that trailer
@@carlbrown6295 40”
You also have to go by the GVAR also right?
No sir, only the GVWR

@@roshondatorrancehoye4785 yeah I haven’t had any problems so far as far GVAR. I try to carry less weight as possible
What was the mileage on the truck when you got it?
@@danielp0701 around 170,000
What motor you have in your Ram 2500
6.7 Cummins Diesel
Thanks bro
Confused beyond belief. All these guys running non CDL and having trailer’s over 10k gvwr. Everything I researched saying you must have a CDL for over10k even if your under 26k overall. What am I missing?
It’s truck and trailer GVWR over 26,000 lbs requires CDL. If you are under 26,000 lbds GVWR than you are not required CDL
You have to look carefully at the fmcsa wording, you need a cdl when you are over 26,000lbs AND carrying a trailer over 10k lbs
Does none CDL needs Elog
Yes sir
Ok,it’s situation I’m find 2023 3500 ram,GVWR 10000lb(empty weight 7400 lb.
Also find nice trailer ,but I’m figure out that
GVWR:25900lb
Empty weight 7200lb

Payload 18700lb
Question what I need changed to haul this trailer.O just need cal to manufacturing and says:hey gays can right down on that tag GVWR 16000lb ,NOT 25900b.appreciated for answer
So to keep it simple, if your truck GVWR is 10,000. Your trailer GVWR will need to be 16,000 or under to haul non cdl
Is there a truck age to what you can use to non CDL hotshot?
@@abautomotivedetail6315 So you want to make sure that whatever truck you get that the GVWR is 10k lbs
