have my class A. was best thing ive done in my life. went from stressing out if im gonna be able to pay the bills to not even thinking about bills anymore lol

[@jasonscales2522]

Great video! Just a FYI with thee strap winches, they should be on the passenger side for safety. For instance if you see a loose strap and need to pull to the shoulder, you won't be in traffic to winch it down. Stay safe

[@kevinmedina6531]

Best thing you could do for anyone out there; 1.do hot shot to get your foot in, 2.once you have the money to do cdl definitely get it, 3. work towards getting a big rig, 4. Once you get a big rig, and trailer, thats where the real money is at and either expand with big rigs or make a fleet of hotshots and employ people. Its easier said than done but enough focus and diligence, over time, it is very doable and more than worth it. Stay safe ! Edit: Didnt mention this in the first comment. Nice set up bro !

[@entremike]

Thanks for the tips! That’s my mindset going forward actually, the CDL is imperative

[@entremike]

Ready to get on the road! Just need to make sure I’m comfortable with backing in! You guys will see what I mean next video 💀😂✊🏽

[@jayshaunpatty5329]

Great set up man. Can't wait to see the next video about the start up costs. I just spoke to a lady at the local college about signing up for the CDL Truck training..... I've started my trucking paperwork for my business already. Thank you for being transparent and it's good to see a positive brother doing big things man!

[@entremike]

Thanks for the support!

[@andraeallen4410]

Good luck fam. We on the same page I also have a 3500 dually for non cdl setup. I bought a big tex 25+5 gooseneck trailer.

[@brandondurbin8322]

Hey man just wanted to let you know was having a gooseneck trailer you don't have to cross your chains if you make a really tight turn with them crossed your ripped a chain right out if it's not long enough my idea regulations not required to cross them if it's a gooseneck and if you end up doing a fifth wheel set up at any point you don't have to hook a chain up at all

[@DallaPhoenix]

X2 don’t cross your chains on a gooseneck setup. Also keep your ball greased. You probably already know all this being you made this video a year ago lol good luck

[@georgeg6036]

Smart move on the CDL. Gotta get it!

[@manuelespinal71]

What,s up bro, do u have to go where to make the set up for hotshot? Because it does not bring the hole in the middle right? Where they make the pick up truck set up at?

[@josebedolla73]

How does it work hot shot with no cdl. I keep hearing different things. Rig set up needs to be under 26k or is it 26k and under with a load to he with no cdl

[@birkhofstad1054]

Great choice on the truck, Aisin trans is built to haul heavy.

[@mervinsecure1cambricsecure957]

You better get your CDL this fall. About next spring actually starting in February 2022 they're going to increase the requirements on the course required to get your class a and b I believe also. The government's going to make it tougher to run your own authority I've heard too by raising insurance requirements

[@subconsciouslyinyahead7977]

Hmmm

[@lorenzomcgee6637]

So how much did the empty truck a trailer end up weighing?

[@LuisMartinez-sx8qy]

How did you do you d read your Traeger to go from 14 to 12,000

[@DadBodCEO]

Still have the same trailer? How them Ramps working still?

[@jevonlemmermann4576]

I dont understand at 5:40, The maximum GVWR for non cdl is 26,000. So how are you able to haul anything? Maybe im not understanding what GVWR is actually meaning? I think im mistaken and Id really like clarification.

[@benl4080]

Congratulations I wish you much success. I recently purchased my BigTex trailer and backing up takes practice and patience. Helpful tip keep your hand at the bottom of steering wheel when backing, when you want to back to the right turn the steering wheel to the right and the opposite to go left. It has helped me a lot with backing the trailer as a newby to hotshot.

[@papayasalad77]

Awesome congrats, I wish you nothing but success.

[@raymondthompson7899]

I used to own a big rig and a dry box. Can I reactivate my MC,Dot and CA number for non cdl hotshot??

[@agent7574]

Get the class A bro.. believe it or not.. it's looked at differently.. I actually went to a college to get mine.. went through everything.. showed you how to do brakes/air brakes.. pre trips.. dot inspection.. how to drive 18 wheelers.. forward.. straight backing.. zig zags.. parallel parking.. parallel parking on the blind side.. was a really good experience.. I recommend it for anyone..

Is this dodge V6 or V8 ? Im new to this business and I never drove a truck? I did search and some of them are V6, does the V6 capable of towing that much weight?

[@bamirelamin56]

Naw…depend on what your hauling…non cdl hauling heavy go with a v8 3/4 ton

[@bobramirez7689]

You think the truck and trailer combined are only 15,000lbs ? Nah bro lol

[@majortransportservices]

Hey bro, your load weight gonna max out at about 6k - 7k if you running a 1 ton dully truck at 14k and a trailer at 12k. You'll be under 26k but the weight of the trailer itself is about 6k leaving you with only about 6k to 7k max depending on the weight of the trailer. when you said you'll get about 11k to haul I was like oh nooo! let me tell him now lol. You can also have the truck d rated down from 14k to 12k which will give you 2,000 lds more to carry.

[@jimmystate]

how do you know what loads to get or where to find? thx

your trailer including load has to be under 10k non cdl?

[@havenmoontransportationhs2718]

Your trailer, truck and load have to be under 26k in order to be non-cdl

[@manuelespinal71]

Yes under 26 000 pounds u don't need cdl

[@israelwelding83]

If his truck is 1400 and trailer is 1200 so that’s 26000 not including cargo weight that would put him over 26000

If you're going for your CDL, learn to parallel park. It's on your road test.

[@entremike]

I know, once I get the hang of a simple 90 degree turn, I’ll start practicing!

[@Dbdorr]

@@entremike and also remember your trailer is rated for 12k, so don't put 11k on it or you'll be overweight at the scale house. Subtract the weight of the trailer (probably around 3-4k) fron the trailer's GVWR. That will give you your trailer payload capacity. Not trying to be the know it all negative guy, just trying to help you avoid problems.

The fact that he is driving a dully (14k gvwr)+ trailer (14k gvwr)= $28,000 total gvwr Non CDL. Can not exceed 26,001 lbs gvwr. By down grading gvwr on trailer you lose on weight load capacity.

[@entremike]

Very true but I didn’t want a 2500 because I intended on getting a CDL

[@Ms.ClarmstrongPlus3]

Hi Mike. Do you see a lot of women in this line of work? I'm seriously considering getting into the hot shot business.

I haven’t seen many in hotshot specifically, although I have seen a small amount of flatbed women. Basically the same thing. Only thing is, it’s a lot of labor required, doesn’t mean you can’t do it though !
