Ep. 77 : Glad to be back! : Hotshot Trucking

[@VegasGuy1975]

You need to tell the shipper that the delay will incur a detention fee of $35 per hour that you are sitting there and not being loaded. That usually gets their attention real fast and they can suddenly load you.

[@BBBYpsi]

Broker probably got the money & did not pay it to the driver. They do that crap all the time

Depending on gearing and what mine does loaded I’d assume 8-12 mpg on the high side

I was surprised today. I got 11 mpg in the mountains. Might be the way I was driving or maybe there was no wind today, but I was getting 7-8 yesterday going against the wind. That sucked.

Question, you're showing a GCWR of 49,500. I know the standard GWCR of the 84CA 4.89 gear ratio 5500 is 43,000. Is the extra 6500lbs because of the frame extension?

[@DreamInspired]

Instead of running the 5500s GCWR, we ran the 5500s GVWR of 19,500 plus the Trailers GVWR of 30,000 to cover 49,500.

I can’t keep from admiring your rig it’s AWSOME and you must be soooo happy with how it has turned out. I’ve been watching your videos for a few months and have learned so much. Thank you for all your great information and knowledge. I’m new upcoming hotshoter and should be ready to roll with my own authority first part of august. I have a F350 DRW 4x4 and a F550 DRW 4x4 with air ride and considering a 5th wheel air hitch for the 550 so wondering if you have any recommendations on which one and would you mind telling me which one you purchased and how much you paid for it Thanks and drive safe out there !

[@DreamInspired]

What rear is on your F550?

[@davidallan3360]

It’s a 2008 and The rear i believe is Dana 80 with 410 ratio it has a hauler bed with a gooseneck ball now. Thanks for getting back to me

[@DreamInspired]

Nice man. That low ratio will help big time on fuel. I’d start with that truck first and honestly, I think that 1 is the best bet of nothing else is wrong with it.

[@DreamInspired]

Air trailer and air 5th wheel are phenomenal so far. Very happy with my choice!

[@davidallan3360]

That’s great to hear ! Who’s 5th wheel did you go with and how much if you don’t mind me asking ?

[@skipstreet]

As soon as I saw it I knew what it was. From the size I would say it's for a helo.

[@DreamInspired]

A few other people said the same thing so I’m guessing so...

[@skipstreet]

Thanks for the response. I just found your video by mistake. Do you have a video of the inside of the sleeper? Also I have a CDL. What is the max weight you can load with a duelly. I drive semi in the oilfield.

[@DreamInspired]

No I don’t have the interior video yet but 1 is coming. As for max weight, loading will be whatever the trailer is rated at, pulling will be what the max tow capacity on the truck is. My trailer is rated at 30k and weighs about 10k so I can load 20k without going over my rating

[@skipstreet]

I saw another video of a hotshot driver with a truck similar to yours. He said he gets about 8 mpg. So my question is why not go with a used semi. You pay less for the truck. You've got more room especially in the sleeper and you get similar fuel mileage but you can carry more weight and make more money.

[@DreamInspired]

Can’t put my 1 year old in a semi.

[@flyboy6876]

you need to think about adding air ride on the rear ends of that Dodge beats the daylight out of killing your back going down the road, I did it to my F550 and will do it to the F-600 I'm going to get

[@DreamInspired]

Giving the stock suspension a shot before I throw in the added cash for that

[@michaelhall6831]

I believe that air ride 5th wheel will make a huge difference. I talked to a guy who said he had a air ride 5th wheel, suspension and trailer and he said that it seemed to be to much air as the truck would float all over the road.

[@DreamInspired]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bodybuilder1ish]

How much was your truck with the sleeper looking to get one I am starting my own business as well any tips

[@darrenrich3492]

What mpg you getting with a load like that one?

[@DreamInspired]

I did 8.5-9.5 fully loaded with 20k lbs on the trailer so not too bad in my opinion

[@darrenrich3492]

No- especially if you were doing 65+ mph. Have you found the sweet spot for mpg? Rpm and speed loaded, that gets the best mpg.

[@jaysonware8757]

What are you allowed weight per axel on your 5500?

[@ThetrueTeddyB]

Where did you get the sleeper from?

[@DreamInspired]

Check Ep 65

[@eugenejensen576]

Nice setup. What is the second tank for or did you get a gas generator and diesel fuel tank? And if that’s the U.S. flag behind the sleeper may want to cover it so it doesn’t get trashed

[@DreamInspired]

Yeah the 45 gal is a gas thank for the generator

[@eugenejensen576]

Can I ask why the gas instead of diesel generator

[@DreamInspired]

Gas generator was already on hand and the diesel 1 is much more expensive.

[@rreyes2130]

Do u work with own authority? Asking because im about to get a ram and trailer, i drive a semi truck

[@DreamInspired]

Yes my own authority

[@rreyes2130]

@@DreamInspired ok thanks, is there a big diference working on your own than to lease with a company?

[@DreamInspired]

Your own authority means all the money is yours... Also means all the paperwork, taxes, fees, insurance, bullshit from DOT and every asshole on the road... That and more are yours as well. And don’t forget about ALL the liabilities should anything every go wrong. Not a bad thing if your business minded person, but for a small fee of usually around 10-25% of a load, you can run under someone else’s numbers and focus on driving and maybe owning another business online or back home. Maybe start a KZbin channel. Being that I have my own authority, the paperwork, finding loads, and book keeping alone takes up a good few hours of my time every week. It puts a lot of strain on my other business. If I could do it again, I’d probably try to find someone to lease under, but the issue there is actually finding someone to hire someone with zero experience, at least in my case.

[@rreyes2130]

Thank you for that answer, ill follow your advice thanks alot

Hi Brotha hey I need ur expert advice do I need any endorsements on my license for hotshot trucking?? Or carhauling?? Pls help

[@DreamInspired]

I’m not an expert on auto hauling as I’m strictly in freight, but the basics are business license, EIN and business bank accounts. After that, you’ll need to figure out if you’re going to run over or under 26k lbs. if over, you’ll need a CDL, IFTA and IRP. Then you’ll have to figure out if you’re going to have your own authority or lease on under someone else. If you’re doing your own, you’ll need DOT and MC numbers thru FMCSA and you’ll need to meet all of their requirements.
