Cold and rainy hotshot trucking week

[@MilanPalushaj-uh3df]

Alex, thank you for deciding to show a little bit of your driving and your truck. I really did enjoy it a lot. Please do it more often. Thanks for the great video.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

I’ll try to do that in the future videos.

[@jeremybrea1910]

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Thanks Ken! See you on the road. 👍🏻

[@TravisGinther]

Great video. The music reminds me of the tv show MacGyver in the 80’s and 90’s

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Thank you!

[@robertsmith-zz7ot]

Hey Alex, Im not one to criticize, you do this for a living, I dont. I was watching a vid by SuperTrucker Dan. At times he also hauls coils like this. He mentioned that it was better to run your chains from left front through the coil and to right rear and the left rear through the coil to the right front. That way if you have a chain failure, the coil wont be able to roll foward or backward. Just a little fyi. Enjoy the vids. Be safe out there.

Love from a uk truck driver 🇬🇧 love watching your stuff

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Thank you! Appreciate the support 👍🏻

[@TheGuaduas]

Alex thanks for sharing hope everything is well. If you don't mind sharing what's your monthly payment for that Ram and also the trailer. Thanks be safe.

[@CAAC1979]

Can you make loadboard videos bro. Love your videos.🔥🔥🔥💯

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Thank you! I can try in the near future but there really isn’t much to show about the load board.

[@alvinmann7675]

Excellent securement video Alex! Hey can you go into a little detail on your 5th wheel setup? I've seen those setups for rv hauling mainly but i don't know a whole lot about them. Thanks man and have a great week.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Thanks. I’m mot sure what all I can tell you about the 5th wheel. I don’t know much about it besides that it works. lol.

[@alvinmann7675]

@Mr.AlexKogan I was thinking it was always gooseneck. Did you go 5th wheel for more stability or because it's the 65 foot deal? Thanks for responding 👍

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@alvinmann7675 It came with the truck when purchased it. It’s supposed to give you a smoother ride and way easier to hook up and unhook.

[@richardbarkley9909]

Still another GREAT securement of your customer's shipments Alex!! That was some miserable weather for sure up there in Maine. Hope it was better in Detroit for you. How is your truck doing now? Drive safe always!!

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Thank you! Weather got better towards the center of the country. Truck is driving and doing great. 👍🏻

[@mybusiness4984]

[@searchandyouwillfind]

[@abderrahimrahouch9387]

I have same set up as you next week I'm going out any advise 😅

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Nice. Double check everything on securement and don’t rush.

[@abderrahimrahouch9387]

Hey Alex hope your doing well . What your max weights you can carry on your trailer ?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

I can carry 15,000lb on my trailer.

[@mikelopez4148]

Why did you get rid of the gmc ? Is that a ram 2500?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

It’s a 3500. Never had a GMC.

[@AcadiaHaulers]

Hey there, are you still stuck in New England with just the partial? I’m in Massachusetts and can give you a number to call. I don’t want to post here what the loads are but there’s usually stuff headed to Western NY. Let me know, happy to help.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

No I’m long gone from there.

[@viperman7147]

How MUCH u making on THIS GIG ALEX

[@tess1822]

How did you get the maps full screen on your display?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

Apple car play. Android doesn’t allow full screen.

[@davidduenas1542]

I have the same truck and trailer but currently wondering if it’s good for me to hop into hot shot. I plan to lease to a company but man is it worth the jump ?? You think I’ll clear 200k my first year ?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

I can’t say. First year is always the hardest. Especially the way it is now.

[@jamesnelson5700]

Get yourself some coil racks and also bind down one to the left and one to the right

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

This is my second coil in a year and a half. Doubt I’ll invest in coil racks.

[@jamesnelson5700]

@@Mr.AlexKogan I understand lol but they aren’t that much.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@jamesnelson5700 where would you store them?

[@jamesnelson5700]

@@Mr.AlexKogan I put mine in my dunnage rack

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@jamesnelson5700 my dunnage rack has 3 tarps. No more room. I don’t think those racks are important enough for me to carry.

[@yokelguillory6834]

Do you always have to record them putting and removing from trailer? Only asking because I’m looking to get into freight, currently an auto hauler but want to do something different.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

You don’t have to record. I record so you guys can see what goes on at the shippers and receivers.

[@yokelguillory6834]

@@Mr.AlexKogan ok kool, so in auto hauler we do electronic BOL of before pickup and after once delivered. Do you have to do anything similar when it comes to condition of freight your picking up or delivery?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@yokelguillory6834 ai just get a BOL when I pick up my load and when I drop it off I have the receiver sign it and I upload it to factoring to get paid.

[@keiclan7794]

Hi, what is the max weight and length you can carry?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

My trailer is 40 ft so whatever fits on it and I believe you can have 2-3 feet overhang on rear. Weight wise I can take 15,000lb

[@b58tristenn]

hey, if you don’t mind me asking, what do you book your loads from?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

My dispatcher does. Truckstop, DAT and maybe some other sites

[@b58tristenn]

@@Mr.AlexKogan by any chance did you pass through iowa today? I seen a setup that looks just like yours passing through when I was lol

Why don't you film road, driving, resting, food etc?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

I don’t like to make my videos super long so I do my food and gym and other stuff in separate videos. Maybe I can do it in one video in the future.
