Slow start coming out of Miami

[@tg9388]

Great video Alex showing the strapping. It’s definitely gonna take some time to learn how to do that properly. I can understand now why it’s always a pain to have loads that require that.

[@JoeB-s9u]

Great job. I like the way you speedup the video instead of stopping and starting. That way we can see and appreciate your skills. 🖒🖒🖒

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@JoeB-s9u Thank you!

[@SteveSanders-SPB-FL]

Hi Alex, it looks like you’re wearing a body camera now instead of the camera on your hat. This gives a much better perspective especially when you’re placing the bungees on the tarp. Very nicely done and please stay safe.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@SteveSanders-SPB-FL Hey! Yes I have a chest mount. Trying to switch it up a bit because it’s tough figuring out how and where to place the camera.

[@alvinmann7675]

Enjoyed the video Alex. Tough getting out of Miami. Excellent securement man💪👍

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@alvinmann7675 Thank you thank you! Appreciate ya. 👍🏻

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@_Machine631_ Yeah, I called it Elgin by mistake and forgot to correct it when editing the video 🤪 nice AFB. So many F35 taking off every few minutes.

You make everything you do look effortless Alex!! Always ready for a new challenging load!! Again, I say YOU SIR have set the bar pretty darn high for the Hot Shot industry & drivers!! Please travel safe always my friend!

I think they require tarping sometimes…just to mess with us.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@BRACLLC Sometimes, yes. Especially when you console metal stuff that’s been sitting outside in the rain and the broker says it needs to be tarped but it has a rusty film all over it.🤦‍♂️

[@richardbarkley9909]

Do you feel that the economy is a factor in loads being available anywhere? Florida has always been horrible to get anything paying to get out. I used to work for a patio furniture manufacturer and he was making side deals with shippers for way under $1 a mile back then....

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@richardbarkley9909 I don’t know if economy is a factor but Florida has been bad always. There have been times where I hit out of Miami at really good rates though. It’s hit or miss.

[@BENNHENDRICKS33]

@@Mr.AlexKoganone guy I follow drives semi out of SC and posts the rates and how cutthroat it is, he had to take some time off since rates were so bad. I own a landscaping business but enjoy your content. I think the KZbinr I mentioned is just trucking .

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@BENNHENDRICKS33 Taking time off because rates suck is a bad excuse unless he has a different job and his truck and trailer are paid off. I don’t know who in this business can afford to do that.

[@BENNHENDRICKS33]

@Mr.AlexKogan i agree I think he's just trying to run SC > FL obviously if he wanted to run the money is there. He just showed where loads that were 1800 are 1100 and going as low as 6-800

[@jimgraves6464]

If the dock workers go on strike oct1 itll get rough for frieght. Hope is all well. Like your videos keep the videos comin

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@jimgraves6464 Thank you! Let’s hope that strike doesn’t happen.

[@flipwilliams7929]

Thats crazy i was just there today those are car lifts

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@flipwilliams7929 They are but on my paperwork it said motorcycle. 🤷‍♂️

[@richardbarkley9909]

Do you find most shippers and receivers are friendly or nasty like they don't want to be there?

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@richardbarkley9909 most places are friendly but you do get some butt munchers every now and then. Like this place where I picked up the full load, the forklift manager was an A hole.

[@richardbarkley9909]

@@Mr.AlexKogan WOW!! And you are there performing a service for them!

[@Happ1971]

​@@Mr.AlexKogan Butt Muncher 😂😂😂 New level unlocked 🎉 Love that...

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@richardbarkley9909 Exactly. Makes no sense to me.

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@Happ1971 Haha! 🤣 🤣🤣

[@Javs_817]

I hardly see you in Texas. I figured Texas would have a lot of hot shot work for y’all

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@Javs_817 Actually I put in a lot of miles in Texas. It is a good place for loads.

[@juanfranco2527]

Slow week 🤦🏾‍♂️ that's why u need to put me to work and you stay home, I'm from North Miami Beach 163 and North Miami Ave !

[@Mr.AlexKogan]

@@juanfranco2527 If its slow for me to get out of Miami, why would you think If I put you to work it would be any better? 😁 having one person work under me and I stay home will not pay my bills. Do you have a truck and trailer?

[@juanfranco2527]

@Mr.AlexKogan I don't have one, but if you help whit one I'm ok to keep up whit the payments and give you a % of every load, I being up here on the road since June 5 after visiting my family and I'm already working whit 3 companies, some people should stay as an employee and not owner operator 🤦🏾‍♂️
