Still another excellent securement job Alex! Your shippers and receivers certainly see that you more than know what you're doing and be glad that YOU transported their materials and not someone else.

@Mr.AlexKogan 2 ай бұрын

Thank you but ai don’t think shippers and receivers actually pay attention to that to care 🤷‍♂️

Alex, my man, you've got that ratcheting bar like I have. I use it on every load and it saves me time. I haven't seen you use it. Why?

@Mr.AlexKogan 2 ай бұрын

I’m not sure. Never paid attention to the other end of the bar.

I love that scenery. It's definitely a different type of beauty in a semi vs Hotshot. Great video Alex. BTW, quick question. Are you leased on or own authority?

Thank you! The scenery is great. I am under my own authority.

Where did you buy your trailer from? I have a hotshot set up I’m hauling vehicles right now looking to switch over to hauling freight. Any info that you can share would be helpful. Stay safe out keep doing what your doing.

Im actually looking for a 3500 chevy dually gas to hot shot with thinking i can avoid the expenses of deff and costs of fuel and mechanical costs what do you think

@richardbarkley9909 2 ай бұрын

Hi Alex, Noticed early in your video that you ran your windshield washers. Guess you've realized that the washer fluid has gotten super expensive nowadays? My Nephew actually showed me on Amazon that you can buy about 100 individual packages of tablets, each making 1 gallon of fluid from just plain water for about $10 to your door. I bought it and have been making my own fluid for several months now.

@Mr.AlexKogan 2 ай бұрын

I actually don’t use a lot of washer fluid. Can’t say I’ve noticed a price increase. It’s still $3 at Walmart.

@matzrat5006 2 ай бұрын

You have to go where the loads are. stay out of dead zones. are you able to haul to Canada ? lots of food heads North. Onions and spuds , can go on flat deck. just a thought. Hope you get a load out of Colorado.

@richardbarkley9909 2 ай бұрын

Sure hope you got a decent load to get out of Denver Alex.

@nigel3309 2 ай бұрын

Im assuming that was a 2 day drive just to get there ? its a long way to come back empty. Probably would have been better to drive a full day back, roughly half way and find a load closer to home rather than loose 2 days waiting around. I hate waiting around so im happy to come back empty and go to the next one. How many miles on the ram now mate ? it must be racking up big miles by now, lol

@Mr.AlexKogan Ай бұрын

I don’t remember how many days it took me to get there. Prob over 2 days. That’s a long way back empty if I don’t get a load. It’s hard to leave empty because you always have that hole that a load will turn up. The truck has 150k now. Just breaking in 😁
