For trash you can keep a box roll of scented bags. Thats what i do. Once it fill up i just dump it at a dumpster somewhere. As far as getting on top of a load maybe you could add a ladder somewhere on your trailer……

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

I have a bunch of bags from Walmart. When I eat I put my trash in it and throw it out right away. I don’t like to keep it in the truck. Also I don’t have an issue getting on top of a load, I don’t have space for a ladder on my trailer.

Thanks for the video bud. Just a heads up, music seemed pretty loud compared to the talking. But might just be my phone.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Thanks for watching and appreciate you letting me know. I’ll look into it and adjust accordingly in the future videos.

I pulled a similar ac unit the other week it was 10 feet high 8 wide 8 long. Killed my fuel mileage. Anyways yeah i had to tarp that thing it was 98 degrees out i used a latter on the trailer to get moving blankets on corners then had to carry up my tarp and throw that thing like it was a sheet on a bed to get it to roll out then used my edge protector stick to roll it off the sides in the end it came out perfect. Could not understand why it had to be tarped it sits outside 24/7 mind boggling to me. but i did get an extra 300 for it and no rips or tears by time i hit receivers yard. Nice video but I kinda felt like i was watching a food eating channel for a minute if I'm being str8 with you made me hungry thanks alot. LOL

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Wow! Tarping that sounds like a nightmare. As for fuel mileage, the tall loads are worse than short heavy loads. All that wind drag is way worse than pulling a heavier shorter load. I hate tall loads exactly for that reason. I’ve driven radiators for mining trucks before, those were 10 feet tall. Had to tarp them as well but the shipper had a forklift that they attached a cage to and I could go up and throw the tarp on that way. Sometimes Thai job has its challenges.

Hey Alex!!!! I watch ur videos all the the time's, I'm trying to start my own hh bis and it has been very hard for me [,due to insurance]

[@yrbuddy77]

@@soterorijos7500 maybe alex will have another recommendation, but for most part progressive is your best bet. I carry 1 million with 250k cargo. I never tried anybody else i was happy with the price

[@Tesla99]

Question. What do you pay or average pay for medical insurance? Dental, eye and etc…. Reason i ask is because that pretty big with me coming from the corporate world and doing our own thing…..

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Medical isn’t related with your job. It’s through healthcare marketplace. I pay $65 a month for my family. Dental is a waste of money. They don’t cover anything so I just have health.

Comment for algorithm

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Yes. Thank you! Algorithm loves it. 👍🏻

[@joe24-7]

Question do you need to have a twic card to be successful in hotshot trucking

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

No. Twice card only makes it easier to get into ports.

[@glennjukes5581]

So how do you heat these meals?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Either at a truck stop or at a shipper or receiver if they have a microwave. More often at truck stops. 😀

[@davidduenas1542]

Do you have to pay to leave your trailer at a truck stop ?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

No
