Im enjoying your content. I have one recommendation for you though if you’ll receive it. On the large lots after you find your first pick, use it to drive around the lot to find your other picks. It’ll save you 30-45 minutes on your pickups.

[@BP11NY]

Most yards who actually care about quality control won’t allow that brother

[@Elements153]

Same for me bro. I've done a ton of OTR and staying local within 4hrs has definitely paid off the best (3 car hauler)

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Its just depends on the shippers/ brokers you work with and if it suits your financial situation . But them otr haulers will argue us to death fam lol

[@davidh6818]

You're doing a great job showing both the good and bad of starting up a new business,it's a grind on the best of days sometimes ! Keep getting that $ Big man and don't let the haters get to you,like my Pops used to tell me"People like that are just background noise".

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

yessssir . and yo pops dead On wit that one ✊🏾

[@tonynimmons111]

I just started following you and I like your videos. I have a couple recommendations for you. Check out Copart and IA. If they’re in your area, try to haul for them. They load you with a forklift and you’re in and out quickly. I drove truck for 22 years and I wish I would’ve got into this car Hollyn sooner. I sold my truck and trailers and never look back. I think I’m the only person in South Carolina that halls with a Toyota tundra and a two car hauler trailer. I clear between 1502 grand a week and I’m home every night. It’s all about planning your route and a secret to this is getting to know the people in these offices. They will let you know when certain units are coming in before they hit the load board. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Thanks for tuning in and yes you're right it all about building relationships with shipper and brokers for sure . Thanks for the tips ✊🏽

[@BradMayher-lf2fw]

Copart and IAA nice if you don't have to buy your own tires lol. Be ready for some side the road time you do

[@johnnyphillips3649]

Do you gotta have all the same trucking stuff like ifta and commercial insurance and llc ? I’m in South Carolina too and was thinking about doing this but doing it non Cdl. Is your tundra a heavy duty truck like say a f250 or 2500 ? I have a 95 Tahoe & a 78 Chevy pickup and was thinking of doing a single car trailer to get started?

[@BiggboysShenanigans]

I appreciate the transparency, keep the good vibes. Because I kno I would of been snapping myself💪🏾💯

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

😂 i feel you and yessssir. Not matter what you do fam its going to always be haters , I'm not tripping

[@4theluvofcars]

Just some advice. Invest in a converter and a small printer that you phone would be compatible with or get a tablet too.

[@lolapruitt425]

Great footage, Continue to do what works best for you .🥰

[@summersoll.l.c.379]

I've been studying for my CDL and never even thought of car hauling...there are so many avenues in trucking its amazing and I'm so excited for my trucking journey. Great video btw!!

I totally agree! And thanks for tuning in ✊🏽

[@TJ-wg7sn]

Brother, why you print out those docs? Sometimes you maybe far from your printer..what to do in this situation? Keep the good job

[@user-rw7zt3vg4b]

Wow, bro. I worked security out there. That's what made me jump into the car hauling business. I just need to upgrade my equipment so I can get to those loads. I also saw 3 car haulers moving 2 trucks at a time 3 or 4 times early morning hours.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

They did me dirty on that pick up, i wont say the shipper name but their communication and RATES suck . Are you looking for a 3 car trailer? Im looking to upgrade equipment too .

[@isaacpruitt2336]

What’s happening Cuz! I love your content! I have a hot shot business also but I’m in freight! The reason I said Cuz because I’m Isaac Pruitt and have family in Detroit plus I deliver loads every week to Detroit to Hammitrak. I wanted to get into cars due to more loads but you gave me much more insight because I run heavy and been in business about four years and the Ford Railway is close to me. The information made my mind clear to the decision I have to make! Thanks Cuz! We just might be related.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Glad i could help fam and you never know, i only know about a hand full of them DOUBLE TT but its possible my dawg lol

Aye God bless you hood all is well. To keep you from going back home to print out release forms invest in a wireless printer. That way you can print from your truck and not waste valuable time. Bless up brother.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Facts!! I'm on it Bro .. just had to speak on that lol ✊🏾

[@CB-6.7]

thats crazy i didnt think you could lock the fob in a new car

[@Thepedell]

Damn lol my insurance is pretty similar except my cost is 30,000. A lot of it is because of my truck/trailer combo is about 140, and i do CDL mainly heavy machinery 23k payload but damn looking real nice having low overhead like you.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Right, your equipment and coverages make the difference but its still to expensive in my opinion for some just in case something happens coverage lol

[@kendrickmcgregor6587]

Hey Bro, I like your content hoping to go on my own next year. Hey get you a small printer put inside your truck wireless print from your phone Walmart got them like $50 good investment

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

oh ok cool I didn't know they were so cheap , I'm definitely about to look into that thanks fam ✊🏾

[@CornfedMSMedia2957]

Your doing fine. Keep doing what your doing. Its a honest mans work. Some people are just haters and they get their jollys off on being Debbie Downers.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Yessssir, appreciate you fam✊🏽

[@rogersavdy6022]

I think you have the right idea staying local until you Are sure of the reliability your truck.. The 6.0 Ford are notorious for blowing head gaskets if your truck has been updated and studded, then you could put a tuner on it and it would make a lot more power.. I have an older 2001 with a 7.3 with an 80 hp tune, it gets better fuel mileage, and runs a lot faster..

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

yes, and no its all original no upgrades or mods so I don't want to over stress it because its runs great now so I'll continue to limit the miles I run. someone else mentioned the 7.3 , I wish I had knew about them sooner but now i know, thanks

[@Blue_Sky_Hotshots]

Whatever works for any of us out here, I just hope it’s a good path. I can tell you all from my experience, I completely went away from Central Dispatch and haul exclusively freight on my 40’ flatbed. It pays way better and I have more to choose from. That might just be the West Coast, but I can average $2.85 per mile and run roughly 8,000 miles a month.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

I agree, and do believe hauling freight is a good route to take. auto rates change to frequently

[@LuisFlores-cx9lh]

Greart video

[@semprefidelis76]

18:05 Are these rates still same in current market? Give or take same.. or any big drop?

[@masterchamp2005]

Not going to read through all of these to see if someone mentioned it already. My buddy said that if you pick up multiple deliveries to set your ramps out and while you go looking for another vehicle to load keep that one vehicle on the ramps and take your key to that car. That way your ramps don't develop legs and walk away!

[@subarrr]

Hold on I know you ain’t stall on the start up (blue mustang)😂. Love the vids keep uploading ❤

yessir been waiting on a upload 💪🏾

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Yessir, hope i answered your questions ✊🏽

[@daverybonneville4708]

I'm starting with a 6.0 myself with a 2 car hauler

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

I feel like it a decent truck to start out with, you just have to baby it and keep up the maintenance but overall they have good power. after you build up your authority and experience just continue to do your research on trucks . I may get a cummings engine next, like a dodge 3500 or 5500

[@jeraldhogan]

Your truck has no bed so the 65ft length limit doesn't apply.

[@seanvaught8249]

I believe auto transports are exempt from the length limit

[@jalopyjoe3935]

I’m insured for heavy equipment and tools up 500k per what’s on my trailer , will I ever in my hot shot life have a piece worth that much , no you won’t , but that’s what the rental companies require to have , is it worth it , if you have low boy it is or flat bed tow truck

[@charneque927]

You need a million if you going interstate.

[@gregnyce1238]

Yea bro 💪 💯 👌 🙏

[@gregnyce1238]

What insurance company ?

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Progressive but there are a lot of different companies , make sure to get as many quotes as possible

[@adonyxgaming7093]

Get you a Bluetooth printer and keep it in the truck. Awesome content 🤙🏼

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

yesssir and thanks

[@john.w8695]

How much a month do you pay for your insurance and how much covers do you carry

[@skrapenpennies9947]

Actually the minimum for fmcsa is 750000 for insurance

[@ericollom7530]

Your cars might have been going to something called sick bay. I picked up two that needed issues fixed amd they were parked on an area called sick bay lol

[@marqueskates5873]

From what i understand if you dont have a bed like you do your truck is considered a trackter. With that beeing said you can be longer then 65 feet. Don't quote me look it up. Good luck sir.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

ok thanks and I appreciate you for commenting ✊🏾

[@Bozaar-kc8uw]

Just starting out. Would you recommend getting a 3 car haul tralier or would a regular 40 ft flat work

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

That flat gives you versatility of what you can haul , meaning freight or cars so i see no wrong going that route but i recommend going with whatever is in your budget .

[@jonathanhnunez]

Can you make $1,000 a day with local runs? My buddy in FL is pulling it off with his Ram 3500 and a 3-4 car trailer, sticking to a 150-mile radius. He's clocking 14-hour days when needed.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

yes and that sounds about right . you can make good money running local , it does depend on how hard and long you run sometimes. I ran loads for $100 per car one day only going 20 miles 1 way and I ran 9 cars in 8 hours . it just depends on who you broker with .

[@abelmaldonado9373]

I really want to start, but the people I know that are doing it don't want to share info

[@user-hh8mv8je4v]

The 65 foot law only comes in affect if you have a pick up truck when you remove the bed, you are considered a tractor, so the 65 foot law does not pertain to you

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

oh ok , I wasn't quite sure. I've been hearing different things . thanks for the information

[@jeraldhogan]

​@@EprofitdetroitTheProcessget it the reg and learn for yourself bro. There's a lot of misinformation out there.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Lol you the third person to tell me that , I'm definitely going to look into one ?

[@TH-pk9ey]

Respectfully, Those Local Rates Per Mile Are Terrible. That's Why You Have To Strategize To Run Multiple Loads At One Time. At Least 2 - 3 Separate Loads Headed In The Same General Direction Whenever Possible. Whatever Your Gross For The Week Just Expect To Net Roughly About 25% Take Home.

[@cornelliusjefferson7106]

Where are you getting your cars from? And how much are you paying for insurance?

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

I went over everything in the video fam But I use , ship.cars, super dispatch, central dispatch, metroloads and i work directly with a few brokers . make sir you check out my new video dropping tonight . Its a big opportunity on the way .✊🏾

[@carllindsey162]

How did you go about getting your contract for local dealers ?

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

When i signed up as a carrier with united road they ask what area do i cover so i documented the area i prefer and asked for the dispatcher that controls that area and i work directly with them.

[@user-zc9wt8ml3w]

How do you go about getting a new authority

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Go to the fmcsa website and apply for your dot and mc# get a boc-3 agent , pay for your ucr and get commercial cargo insurance.. you have a lot of research to do but those are the requirements

[@4theluvofcars]

Dot will measure any over hang from a vehicle hanging off the back

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Really?? But it has to be within 65ft total length right?

[@jeraldhogan]

Your truck is viewed and can be registered as a tractor because the bed has been removed. Ignore the comments about the 65ft length. You're good bro.

[@LuisLopez-hs4is]

480 for 50 miles is good.

[@Handlehandlebars]

Msrp on those are about 55k... so your just around 15k of coverage short on being abe to carry 3 average priced new vehicles

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

it was actually a error on the broker end , they didn't have me registered as a 3 car trailer , they corrected the issue and I was able to load up 3 vehicles with my cargo limits

[@2guniverse]

Do you exclusively run auto by choice or is it just convenience?

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

I would say by choice, if I had a Flatbed trailer, I could actually run freight and auto under my dot the way I have it setup. But I currently only have the wedge Car hauler trailer

How did you get to haul new cars is there a special app to haul new cars not auction cars

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

no, I signed up to work with united road. I'm based out of the Detroit metro area so its a lot of new cars here because of the big 3 . you have to do your research, I called every company I seen on load boards and asked how can I become a direct carrier for them.

[@user-ko9ns6tl1j]

You're probably not under 65' with a 48 or 50 or even 53 foot trailer your truck is at least 20' foot plus

[@rebellousa]

Do you still hauling?

[@user-pr3nr5qf2u]

My insurance dropped, how do i get back on. Old driver hit parked cars twice back to back with the trailer. I got a new driver now, but how do i get insurance again

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

I'm not sure how that effects you moving forward but i would just call around and get some commercial insurance quotes. Try progressive

[@user-pr3nr5qf2u]

@@EprofitdetroitTheProcess good look, appreciate the feedback. Progressive was the one the drop my insurance. I'll call around though; got a new driver so I'm hoping it'll workout now that I no longer have that same driver behind the wheel.

What kinda tag do you have for truck and trailer

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

What do you mean by tag?

[@Silenttalktv]

Like do you have an over 26000 lbs tag or an aportion tag

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

oh no not yet , I wasn't informed about that, I have been noticing some haulers with that on their trucks

Which insurance company u have?

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

Progressive

[@realtalk9109]

How much is the insurance right now.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

I can't answer that for you because it depends on what you're insuring , what your coverages are, plus your driving history so that solely depends on you and the insurance company you choose

[@Ramfis95]

Whats your insurance company

[@rodyjperez7659]

Can you find a different insurance policy? 4yrs ago should not be against you.

[@EprofitdetroitTheProcess]

That's what i was thinking but this policy i have with progressive is still the cheapest I could find as a new authority.

[@2guniverse]

I’ve been reading a lot about wex ford insurance. I just started my dispatch company last week… so I could be mistaken.

[@goodnews8203]

This non CDL??

They have a driver to pay, company has to make money, and owner wants a price of the pie to. With auto transport it’s different in a bad way but again it’s what you decide and what you make of it!
