Non-CDL Hotshot Rookie Gross $20,000+ In 3.5 Weeks | Complete Breakdown All Expenses (Real Numbers)
What is up you guys! Here is the video many of you have been waiting for! In this video, I breakdown all my expenses and show what I made in my first 3.5 weeks on the road as a leased on non-cdl hotshot driver. Keep in mind this is just my first month and I took out some expenses that I chose to reserve but not necessarily a must.

People loves to come online, watch videos, and nitpick the hell out of it not realizing that you didn’t have to share a damn thing. The fact that you did share your experiences is a blessing we should look at what you shared and take everything that we can from that video to try to help our situation. Stop spending so much time trying to nitpick and hate on people this is why your ass is watching videos opposed to making money. This brother shared some serious information that I didn’t know and it’s really served me well he is helping many people make informed decisions based on his good experience and his bad experiences. In the military we called it lesson learned so that you don’t continue to make the same mistakes.

[@technician-tony]

Yes! You said it, God Bless this man for the transparency, and sharing his experiences can save someone alot of time and money. We all know- You don't know what u don't know. Plain and simple.

As a self described data guy I’d recommend changing your 70% rpm calculation to be the 70% rate / mileage. This figure shown in the first week doesn’t tell you much because of the inflated rate for the short oversized load.

[@juanrrobledo89]

Looks like your doing good, one thing I recommend, you might want to invest in small cooler to carry some lunch meat, fruit, stuff like that, another thing you may want to consider is to schedule short hauls when you have to deadhead to your next pickup, to make up the difference, instead of just deadheading if possible you might want to hire your wife to find your loads and set them up and dispatch you, once you get your own authority, if that's your goal, this could put more money in your pocket, because the 30 percent is a little steep, you got your rig and trailer, your doing about 100% of the work, this way you could cut the rate of the company your leased to, but you will be responsible for your own insurance and fuel, you can apply for your own fuel card, your own maintenance, something to think about, you can still be dispatched from your current employer but as an owner operator, your DOT number and still stay busy

I've been considering getting into the hotshot trucking. I'm curious as to your thoughts on buying vs leasing a truck. According to another youtuber, Tow Piglet, he suggests leasing through Enterprise. He says that with leasing, you can basically get a new truck every 60,000 miles and you don't have to worry so much about repairs. Just wondering your thoughts on the subject.

Why not just finance a truck and trade it in when it hits 100k miles? Same concept but it’s your truck so you can customize it the way you like.

That’s great .. I’m definitely going to have to look at doing this especially since I’m probably going to have to give up my CDL

[@HotshotMacc]

Go for it!

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Even if you are not using the CDL, you can maintain it

[@whit10mm72]

Thanks for being real!

[@HotshotMacc]

No problem! thanks for watching

[@sxoeswrld390]

I love the spreadsheet idea that would be great for me. Nevertheless the way you broke it down made it so easy to follow and understand.

[@HotshotMacc]

Appreciate that bro!

[@brucebalfour8042]

Seeing this late but you can set up on your spreadsheet for oil changes, filters, pcv maintenance. Estimate cost of filters oil and assorted items or seals and divide by miles between recommended service distance intervals. Owner's manual will give you all of the intervals and you can estimate things like shocks, brakes, tires, light bulbs

[@HotshotMacc]

Great suggestion!

[@joemeyer2726]

Just 5% reserve from each payment to separate savings account for all maintenance and repairs

[@kerridow7953]

Currently a cdl A holder but my training almost over and I was considering hotshot because semis come with a ton of risks

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks my bro!!

[@eddiebenavidez3049]

Great video! lots of great info. Any chance you'd mind sharing the spreadsheet? Haven't found one i like and im not too good at creating my own that would be as easy as this.

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks for watching bro! My wife created this spreadsheet for me. We are working on making it shareable and FREE for everyone. So stay tuned!

Texas is such a big state that you don’t need an mc number, just a DOT and run intrastate until you’re 21
