How To Secure & Tarp a Load | Freight & Vehicle on a Flatbed Trailer | Non-CDL Hotshot Trucking

[@sonoftexasOO]

You low key did that step by step brother. Thankyou.

[@farmlifer]

Looks good. On the lasso straps the black sleeve is suppose to go in the ring and the point of contact should be inline with the axle (i.e. straight down to the trailer) with 10 and 2 as you mentioned.

[@HotshotMacc]

That’s what thats for lol I always wondered why is there one of them if they are for the tire but I know now! i saw you comment, picked up another truck today and put the black sleeve through the ring! Thanks you! Appreciate this advice man!

[@rodolfoguerrero8345]

Any time bought a dodge 3500 6.7 diesel and a 40 foot gooseneck trailer I tell the haters if I make it, I make it and I don't, I don't I won't be the first or the last I'm going to give shot a it. Trying to learn a new trade I was a hazmat tanker driver for 40 year time for change

[@juangarcia8612]

Finally!!! I love the POV when you’re strapping. Gives me a better idea when you show both your hands working and use a GoPro. Definitely glad I found your channel!!

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks for watching bro!

@@HotshotMacc absolutely. Thank you for all the great info. Do you have an email I can send you a question bro? I’ve reached out to numerous hotshot KZbinrs but none have replied. Please and thank you.

[@EduardoGarcia-yr5dx]

Like watching your videos bro awsome just a little tip the black sleeve gose were the ring is for the ring not to wear out the strap safe trip

[@buttonswon]

Correct.

[@HotshotMacc]

Just realized that from another comment! I was wondering why there was only one lol but I did a vehicle after that and put the black sleeve in the ring! Appreciate the tip man! Thanks!

Nice to see you again Tim . i was wondering whether you are still hot shotting u took long time without giving your fans a video .but finally here we are . Thanks keep them moving.

[@HotshotDan]

The black sleeve on the tire straps is to protect where the steel loop and strap make contact.

[@shollins8704]

Hotshot are you able to pick up loads from locations that your dispatch has not sent you maybe something you found on load board?

[@HotshotMacc]

Not while I was leased on

[@barrydeboard]

Great video, thank you Macc!

[@jamesmacdonald7983]

When your taping are you on duty but the driving clock is stopped ?

[@brandonsweatt1020]

I’m new in hot driving and I’m learning a lot from you. Can you tell a difference in the way the truck drives if you are loaded closer to front of the trailer rather than towards the back on the axles? ( majority of the weight on the axles)

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks for watching! There’s definitely a difference in how the truck drives. Your distribution will definitely have an effect on you jumping around in the truck and getting a lot of pushing and tugging

[@rodolfoguerrero8345]

What is trap size and weight and how many bungee do you have and what size( good job keep it up) Rudy G.

[@HotshotMacc]

This tarp size was 27’x16’ 14oz super lightweight steel tarp with 4ft drops. It weighed about 50lbs

[@rodolfoguerrero8345]

How many bungee straps do you carry with you

[@da805jd]

Thank you for this video. I always had questions on how to secure a load properly. I'm definitely going to start a hotshot business and would like to know all of what I'll need to do so. Do you plan on getting your CDL? How would that benefit you more? Thanks again!

[@HotshotMacc]

Glad it helped bro. Yes I’m in the process of getting my CDL. It will benefit more with load options and making more money. Right now the market is saturated and everyone is starting non cdl so it’s better to get CDL even before February 2022 bc of the changes that are gonna happen.

[@lincolnreece1333]

Hey Macc, what kind of Ram truck would be best for the hot shot non cdl??

[@HotshotMacc]

It all depends if n what type of operations you are running. But I have detail videos covering the truck I used for non-cdl

[@NowWeEats]

I appreciate you making the video I suggested. so far I've saved 13k I can't wait to get buy a truck and trailer and get out on the road too!

[@HotshotMacc]

No problem bro, glad I could help

[@mikemike5032]

Awesome video thanks

[@montydaken7924]

I noticed on your Amazon equipment list that you have a 500W inverter. That kind (the cheaper ones) are modified sine wave output. The ones that you probably want to get are the pure sine wave output inverters. They cost a little more, but if you're charging laptops, rechargeable tool batteries, and other sensitive electronics, the cheaper one can damage or decrease the life expectancy of those devices. I recommend spending a bit more and not losing any sleep over it.

[@HotshotMacc]

Good advice bro I appreciate that!

[@davidellis3428]

Where is his Amazon equipment list (video)

[@darealmrbangbangkuntrybois2428]

How many tarps,bungee cards, straps, and blankets you suggest i get

[@HotshotMacc]

2 tarps, 50 bungees, 8-10 4” straps, 6-12 2” straps and 12 blankets if your running non cdl with a trailer less than 40ft. I have a video dropping next week on securement equipment 💪🏽💯

Keep running into this vid, good content. Having issues with this strapping method for bigger vehicles such as your example. Bigger trucks keep moving back and forth, what to do to avoid this, straps keep coming loose due to lack of tension on movement. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@HotshotMacc]

Appreciate that bro, for bigger vehicles I do more than just the lasso straps and use chains and binders as well.

It gets better over time once you get more efficient. Unfortunately there’s no way around it .

Is the transmission going to MO or KY?

[@drianhamp2964]

How can I learn glow to secure a load? Using chains binders tarps etc?

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks bro glad it helped!

[@chronicles661]

I am trying to figure out what truck to get I want a dually but I see you doing it with your truck so if I don’t have to get the dually I rather go with your make and model if I can tow a lot of weight with the truck you are using then I will go for it because this truck will be my personal truck and work truck

[@HotshotMacc]

I started with what I had which was a 2500 truck and I don't have a CDL. So it worked out for me to get my foot in, before I make bigger investments. Also if you are starting up with no experience its not bad to go to school to get a CDL.

[@cbpk1997]

Like your videos dude. Keep up the good work. Thanks for all you do!

[@KO-lx4ye]

Great video love the tarping. Do you charge more for tarping being that is more in labor. Just a question.

[@HotshotMacc]

To be honest they should but the brokers don’t want to pay.

[@KO-lx4ye]

I heard that! Keep dem videos going great info ! Almost all caught up on them ur that Inspiration 💯

[@MexikonJunglista]

Cool tips bro. Where do you buy your tarps ands straps?

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks bro. I got them from myteeproducts.com

[@MrAnonymous-qq7jt]

Whats the reasoning behind twisting the straps when you tighten them down?

[@evasquez4217]

If you don’t twist the strap you will hear a humming sound or the strap will flap the entire trip (very annoying). If it hums or flaps during the trip, the straps are more likely to come loose.

[@markkrauss5994]

How much is that black cargo cover

[@HotshotMacc]

I paid $220 for my tarps.

[@floydb891]

So…twist strapping is a good method? I’m just asking to understand why.

[@HotshotMacc]

It depends when it’s used. I use it when the load is high and I know the strap is gonna flap.

[@papayasalad77]

Awesome, always wonder how you guys secure the loads. How much experience you have before you started hot shot ?

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks bro. I had zero experience with load securement when I started. Just watched a lot of KZbin videos and got some help from a friend via FaceTime

[@skeeterkringleson4506]

Cool video. You inspired me to try to get into this. Non cdl Seems like a good place to start. Then move up to class a stuff down the road. I’m looking at getting a 2500 Cummins and a 32 foot trailer. Any advice?

That's similar set-up how I started! Keep researching and find set up that works with your finances.

@@MississippiHot_Shot bro I know thats right! I stayed out 3 weeks on my first run…that’s a good weight to be up at, I can technically do 11k based on my setup but I try not to take anything over 9k just bc of all the stress on the equipment. But that’s what’s up bro keep grinding out there 💪🏽💯

How do you get around your 10,000 lb GVWR of that truck and Axle rating of that truck? I have the same truck and am over weight with no load, just an empty trailer.

[@HotshotMacc]

That doesn’t sound right bro.

[@Derek_L1989]

Bro, you doing great bro! I’m a ex 18 wheeler driver and I’ve been looking into doing hotshot! Now with you being non-cdl, how much weight can I haul without going over 26,000 pounds? Just trying to weight my options with doing cdl hotshot compared to non-cdl! Can you do a scale video? Thanks for your help!

[@HotshotMacc]

Great idea I should do a scale video. But honestly the way things are now with rates being so bad and so many getting into the industry, I say go in with a CDL set up. I can scale up to 9 or 10k lbs on my trailer and still be under. But having the option to go heavier would give me more options. Thanks for the feedback bro and sorry for the delayed response.

[@chronicles661]

Question for you do you ever run into issues where you have to deny a load because you can’t tow that load because you have a limit of 19,000 lbs ?

[@HotshotMacc]

Not as of yet bro! I am non CDL

[@shawnharnage2500]

How do you stay under weight with a 1 wheel

[@HotshotMacc]

"Staying under weight with a 1-wheel setup comes down to knowing the specs of your equipment and being mindful of your load. You need to balance the weight distribution properly and make sure you're not overloading. It's all about knowing what your equipment can handle and staying within those limits
