One thing I will say regardless of if you’re a semi truck driver or a hotshot trucking has them ups and downs but it’s the person operating who has to make executive decisions about how to run

What’s up, bro? This pet from Missouri I have been following your channel in your process. Love to set up doc. How much are your classes? I’m looking to get started around the summertime 2025 and also are you looking for drivers right now? I am a non-CDL holder, but I drive a spotter in the yard for a company.

I was wondering if you’re still posting, either the algorithm is jacked or you’ve been hiding lol! Good to see a video from you!

Hi. What type of truck do you use?Ram 5500 or 3500? How much load you could carry? Your trailer maximum capacity also empty weight. Thanks

What heat gun is that?

I’ve used howes for a really long time and haven’t had any issues in my commercial or personal rigs. But recently I watched a video from project farm that is making me want to change to hot shots secret. You should check out the video sometime, really good information.

Man I saw you running through college station a few days ago🫡 bad ass set up keep trucking!

Thank you brother for all the videos of Hot Shot life it has got me a long ways watching your videos in hot shot trucking💯💯💪🏿💪🏿 God bless you 🙏🏿

Hey man, I hope all is well with your family and your business. I’ve Been tuning in to your channel for a while now, me and my brother are in the construction business and we’re trying to get into hotshot. We’re planning on saving up some money for the necessities, we’ve already got an f550 chassis cab and etc. it’s been cool seeing you work your hustle for a while now. We hope it works out for us and if not we’ll keep moving forward regardless. May God bless you and your family and have a blessed new year. Stay safe.

Equipment lookin clean. Y'all be safe.

Hey Tim, good job man, keep it up.What company did you lease onto when you were doing?Non c d l thanks

Hows it going? I just purchased a 40ft flat bed gooseneck 12k axles gvwr 30k 25% on the gooseneck 16 ply tires cdl setup . Im excited however, I have a ticket from 2023 and its hindering the leasing on process due to high insurance. One company wants to charge me 25% for dispatching factoring, insurance and permits. If i get insurance myself its 4700 down 2300 a month. Not sure which route to take. I would just pay my own insurance if i had brokers that will dispatch me and offer me factoring. Any advice will be appreciated.

what company did u got started with??

Good to see your out hustling, ive had a rough last two months, oil pan cracked on me, took it into a shop on Nov 17th to get it fixed, it took them till Dec 5th to fix it, brought it home, gave it a look over, oh boy! Had main harness wire drapped over front driveline rubbing, other side had wire sitting right on exhaust, not a single bolt holding front fender skirts in, and broke both side steps, probably when they lifted cab pushed up on my side steps and pushed out the rivet nuts, took it to another shop to fix it, on their dime, didn't trust them anymore. Then got back on the road, cab was banging super hard, looked under cab, both back cab mount bolts not even in, front bolts loose, and no nuts holding it the bushing, so went back into shop, they didn't align cab right, and angled all bolts in and stripped them out, all 6 had to be replaced, that was a huge bill!!! Just got it back yesterday, hitting road on Monday, pray everything goes good! Sometimes hot shotting is rough, like I tell everyone starting hot shotting, if you can't handle breakdowns, get stressed out, angry, loose focus, your done, hang it up, cause break downs will happen, and sometimes it's one after another.. it's the way our business goes, we run these trucks hard, they will break! It's how you handle the breakdowns, gotta stay focused!!

What’s up Tim, I’ve been to that place like 3 times and hate it EVERYTIME!! They load up trucks all day everyday and are so unorganized. It’s like everyone’s first day on the job 😂😂

Great content 🫡 definitely that drone closing killed it.

When you just started hotshot, what is the name of the company you leased on to?

Houston huh? Nice I’m from Houston too and trying to get started in hotshot by the end of the year. I genuinly think people who say now is not a good time or there’s no money in it are gatekeeping and trying to keep all the money to themselves lol

Hey brother, I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction I’m in Colorado, but I wanna know where to get started.

I got the truck and trailer but companies are not leasing me on due to insurance too high due to a personal accident in 2023. I have to purchase my own insurance at 4700 down 2300 a month. Ifs crazy but I'm too deep in to back out.

Scared money don't make money 😶‍🌫️🤯🫡🤑

Where can I find the lights for over size cargo

The droneshot at the TA Express in Fairview, KS. Run hopper bottom out of their once in awhile. The driving long hours is a VERY good point. Thats the problem on the 18 wheeler side. A lot of people get a Class A thinking they're going to make big money, but cant handle the long distances. I always tell people considering it, if they can't stand a 1 hour drive, don't do it. The trucking industry is not for the faint of heart.

Same in a regular dually set up with the truck bed dislike going through Shreveport

What areas do you use the heat gun on I think I’m having the same issue with mine it’s a 2022 PJ 40 footer with air ride I put a new battery also

Macc wah gwan boss, question, right at the end you said otr, you use them for factoring?

Think about it

I was mad about that until I figure out also learn and understand that was fact's until I learned also understood.... Not to wavier my rights away to class action lawsuits also more.... For being also becoming a Taxpayer also more

When I first became or being a federal contractor also more and the terminal's as a Terminal operator starting off........I was pulling up wavier of your rights from a app....To a class action lawsuits and more..... Trying to deal with other independent contractor's also more....

ILa union master contracts bs also more signature.... That's no good also understandable.... Might wanna pay attention to your self also more.... About your physical address also with other's

Good luck no hate

Transport Canada Provincial territorial laws always.... Welcome to NAFTA and more..... 🔍 If you can.... And locate a Port of entry, more

Nice view

Big Mac

What’s up man what do you think about a single cab ram dually 3500?

What's dunnage for? @6:40 Appreciate these tip videos, thanks G!

So I got the app but does it send me a eld device on its own or how do I move forward do I pay ?

I love the Wifey energy 🙏🏼Bendiciones

IS THAT A CDL HOT SHOT OR NON CDL ???

Knock a hole in the bottom of the oil filter and let it drain while you do everything else. That’s how I do it.

So this was the beginning, I just watched a few of your latest & things sure have changed in a few years.

Hotshot isn't dead, but the non cdl guts are definitely doin all they can to kill it !
