My Hotshot Trucking Life | 8 | 1800 Mile RV Trip to Florida

[@jimhawn4812]

Sorry to here about your dad, lucky you were home, couldn’t imagine driving all that way with that on your mind ! Hope he’s doing good and looking forward to the trip back to Florida and picking up the car, that’s kinda cool

I lost my transmission coming onto that on ramp after you crossed into Ky where the construction work was. I drove back to Portland, Tn with 4th gear only and of course no reverse to add to the fun lol

How do you get your loads. I'm trying to do the same do

Michael ogarra UShip.com create an account but they keep 20%

It’s a good place to get started and build a reputation even though they keep 20% of the payout per load you ship. Not always the best pay but like I said it’s a great place to get the ball rolling! I believe truckstop.com is another good popular load board for freight hauling if you have a DOT# available and all that.

Did you watch the video tow piglet gave you a shoutout? What was the reasoning in leaving your truck in Florida? Seems like that took a good bit of profit out of that run.

Motofarm mx I did! And I wanted to be home with my family for our Thanksgiving dinner and surprise everyone who thought I couldn’t make it. Family is important to me and always takes priority over any of my work. I was glad I came home as my dad ended up in the hospital again with more heart problems and had to have another heart procedure done and I’m glad I was able to be there for that. Unfortunately yes, it cut into my profit a bit but to me it was worth it. I missed the first snow storm but we had a second one come in a day later so I was able to get some good hours in plowing snow for $25/hr so I was glad it snowed a bit more. Unfortunately I missed a few additional hours again as with my step dad in the hospital at the beginning of the snow storm I didn’t want to return to work yet but was just glad to get in the hours I was able to.
