I know this is an older video but you made me chuckle. I live in WI. I used to work in wholesale Powersports. Fast Eddie is from here. He hauls units to auction houses all over the southeast, and backhauls anything to WI. He’s legendary for telling you what you want to hear. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice looking set up But I must tell you trouble is out there waiting for you Don’t get shut down by the DOT for log book violations They can become very expensive Your truck does not have a legal sleeper So if you log off duty for your brakes that’s fine but you can not log sleeper time because you don’t have one You must therefore have a motel receipt for those times an days in question Ware you are traveling away from home Not all DOT official’s look at log books but the one who does And finds a violation Can then look backwards in your own book and site you for every single violation you have documented Placing you out of service So start asking questions and get your ducks in a row Over 30 years over the road As a driver and owner

This is a well thought out comment and we greatly appreciate it! But as per Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations 49 CFR §393.76. We are compliant. 49 CFR §393.76 goes as follows 1. Be a minimum of 75 inches long. 2. Be a minimum of 24 inches wide. 3. Be at least 24 inches from the top of the mattress to the ceiling. 4. Have easy access to and from the drivers compartment. 5. Be compartmentalized away from the freight area. 6. Be generally rectangular in shape. 7. Be adequately equipped for sleeping (mattress, blankets, pillows etc.) 8. Be isolated from exhaust fumes and adequately ventilated. 9. Sleeper berth must be equipped with a means of preventing ejection of the occupant of the sleeper berth during deceleration of the vehicle. Because we have a mattress in the back we do in fact meet all of these requirements as stated by the FMCSA. Also we actually exceed all of the dimensions listed above by 2 feet or more in all directions.

Nice set up but the one thing I would like to point out is you cannot have your chains sitting directly on top of each other metal on metal contact when they are crossing. That is a quick way to get a violation in the scale house if they inspect your load securement.

Brother! I love your set up. Only thing I would change is going with a Diamond C step deck. I'm with you; I don't understand why more Hot shotters don't use this setup. I know they say, just get a normal semi. But what appeals to me is staying under the 40k range weight wise, still be marketable, everything is easy to get to on the truck, low to the ground, ect. Also love the air ride and interior with fold down bed on these trucks. that truck is much easier to get into smaller spaces. I have followed Vandy for a while as well and that's what inspired me to seek one of these trucks. Might get a Buckeye Ultra max hauler for my truck or the Diamond C step deck, still haven't made up my mind. Start CDL school this coming Monday. I love your attitude and your calmness and collectedness! You will go far! Positive vibes your way my man! For your truck name, Maximus!

Get that oil out your hubs and convert to grease. I change over myself in fear of the oil leaking and causing a fire 🔥. When driving and your seals blows, by the time you notice it's prolly to late to save the bearings or even your whole wheel. Grease can leak and last longer before major damage can occur. If you must keep oil,. Use Lucas oil big truck oil. It seals the seals and runs cooler. My hub tells stay around 85 to 125 with grease. 2 spare tires are 1 and 1 spare tires is basically none. ✌️

Good videos brother! Love your setup. I just bought a Sterling Acterra similar to your Sport Chassis it’s also a Medium duty but has a 2.5 tone chassis. All your complaints are the same as mine. I’m a week into owning this one and still getting used to it. I drove it to Houston from Florida so I got an immediate 800 mile test drive. Does yours drive smoother with a load on it? I was told it does. Hope to see you at a rest stop one day. Danny McCue - Texas Pulls LLC

Was gonna run a non-CDL set-up but decided to just get a CDL, and open up my options for the future. Won’t haul more then 10k lbs, with my current set-up though. I’m absorbing a lot of information from you, especially how to handle adversity. Thank you for sharing. Hope to meet you one day out on the road. Do you happen to have a video on how you talk to brokers and how to effectively book partials? What your thought process is when booking a dedicated vs. Partials. The pros and cons of both?

These trucks are considered a luxury hauler type truck with A LOT of upscale interior features and finishes. The M2 can be had as a “work truck” interior or even an expedite set up/box truck. This is EXACTLY what I wanted as I do use this truck to pull our toyhauler as well. I did not want to be in the RV resorts with a class 8/work truck. All that said, these trucks go for around $165k new. As a side note they DO hold their resale valve VERY well. I am considering the same set up you spoke of as a second rig. Best of luck to you on your Adventures in Trucking! Thanks for watching.

It pains me to say to say this but not every DOT officer knows you dont need them with a 5th wheel configuration. 5th wheel campers and semis dont need chains but some think because its a gooseneck it does.

@@adventuresintrucking1995 I just watched a video yesterday of another young man that got stopped and harassed by an officer. The hanging tree was the cause for the stop. Then the officer started complaining about the tinted windows and started all kinds of interrogative questions about his eyes were glossy indicating he was on something. Claiming the driver was all nervous and fidgety So the driver was being dishonest and hiding things(drugs). Wanted him to do a Field Sobriety test for impaired driving. The driver started protesting by that time.. The stop turned into 40 minutes then officer ended up giving a warning for the obstructed windshield.

Not sure when we confused drum brakes and disc brakes. Well aware of the difference between the two as they dont even look or operate the same (other than literally slowing the vehicle down) but yea not sure when we confused the two sorry about that

I got pull over by highway patrol for hot shot. I do have cdl a and hazmat endorsement, I still have followed fsmc regulation. Now I have pending violations on my clearance house. I told officer I am not using cdl a licensing doing hotshot and I shouldn't be subject to fsmc rules. Officer said its doesnt matter if you are cdl company driver or not, your cdl license is subject under fmsc rules. I was running empty flat bed less than 26000 lbs. My question how do run hotshot without subject to fsmc and not use my cdl so I dont have time constraints or elog as hotshot.

If you are using your cdl to haul personal equipment around and your GCWR is 26,001 you need CDL to operate that setup. If you are not getting paid but your setup requires CDL i would recommend putting “Not for Hire” on your vehicle. Now if you are saying hotshot, then I assume you were for hire and getting paid to move freight. And in that case yes you are subject to FMCSA rules even without a CDL if you are for hire you are subject to FMCSA rules hotshot or semi. Once you start getting paid to move commercially you are subject to FMCSA.

@adventuresintrucking1995 2 жыл бұрын
It's not too much weight. Trailer is rated for 30k and weighs 6800lbs empty so thats 26800 in gross weight and technically this load weighed only 19,120. So its within the operating ranges of the trailer. Truck is also a Class 7 truck that has been derated to class 5. 36,300 GVWR down to 19,500. (which is really just them changing the sticker in the door lmao)
