This Load Was Posted For an RGN but I Hauled it on my SMALL Hotshot Trucking Setup | Not Quitting

[@wellthatdidntwork]

I remember that video out there at the port! OG subscribers know the grind and ups n downs yall been through. Keep your head high and keep the grind going. Even through the valleys, the mountains are still on the horizon bro!

[@HotshotMacc]

Man that’s love bro and you definitely been here Joe and I appreciate the loyalty fr!! We still going brother 🙏🏽🫡💯

Hauling in the mining and gas industry we get a lot of stuff in the middle of nowhere. I love when it's rainy and dark and banjoes echo through the woods.🤣🤪

[@taylor_81]

Once again, you produce an excellent video. I'm always learning something on each of them. But a special thank you for what you've done. You basically let the industry know that Hotshots are capable of handling certain loads that Semi setups typically handle. But within reason, of course. I'm now making adjustments on the load boards to broaden my horizon. Appreciate you G. And continue to grind.

[@HotshotMacc]

My guy! Appreciate it bro, and hell yeah we can do a lot with these setups if they let us. Glad the contents helps. I feel pike we are always making adjustments in this industry being that it’s so unstable. Stay safe brother and let’s keep grinding 🚀🫡💯

Timmm, I want to start by saying thanks for the videos bro, like others have mentioned I learn something new on every single one. I love the over securing! Theres nothing like driving down the road knowing yo load aint going no where! Iv’e been trucking since 2017 semi’s and hotshot but a month ago I finally started my own hotshot. Before I order the rest of my equipment what binders are better in your opinion? The yellow foldable ones? Or red? Iv’e only used the red ones in my past. Much love and again thanks for all the knowledge and advices 🙏🏻🫡🫡

That trailer is awesome...!!! I'm hoping to buy one like yours within 2-3 years... I'm not going to rush my setup... upgrading as I make the $$$ and be able to buy it outright... No financing any equipment if possible... That's my goal..

That’s a great goal to have, no need to rush just try to maximize on what you can start with for sure. That’s what I did and with time you work your way up 🫡💯

Hey as far as I know the farm or military exemption is for active military use or ag use only not for hire stuff for hire is required

[@HotshotMacc]

It depends on the state. They all have different regulations. Some do, the ones we have been exempted we have spoke to the state directly to confirm. We have have them give us the statue to confirm.

[@mrgclark229]

I seen a guy get a container up on with a dove tail without a fork lift. Those container without fork lift pay way better. So that does make a difference. Wish I would have known about it before I got my mega ramps. That’s a smart investment.

[@HotshotMacc]

Never even thought about that! Good to know but id probably want to see what that looks like and what it does to the deck. I’ve seen the tilt trailers do it but not the dovetail.

[@Diamondback0311]

@Macc Media TV do you have a preference between the 4.44 and 4.89 gears? I've seen a few videos with the 4.44 and they seem to do pretty well. Also is there a reason to get a trailer that is rated for 40,000 when the max gross you can be is 43,000?

[@209bossvet]

Yoooo!!! Love what y’all do!! Headed into the car hauling game in about a month in a half. Call me crazy but it’s all about the grind!!! 💪🏽💪🏽 #FailureIsNotAnOption

Right ya never get stopped for over securement

[@davidellis3428]

You mentioned that you had to print out some paperwork at the port… my question is do you have a printer in your truck and if so could you post or reply back on which printer and how do you have it hooked up? Thank you Mac Daddy

[@HotshotMacc]

I got it printed at the port. I don’t personally have a printer. I use truck stops or ask shippers to print. But most people over the road use HPRT Wireless Bluetooth.

[@dannytownes8385]

How do you know when you go load something where exactly to put it on the trailer to not be over axle weight

[@HotshotMacc]

Thats a great question. I usually ask questions about the commodity and just look it over to see what part might have the heavier components. I go by a 60/40 rule depending on the length. The heavier parts to the rear (over the axles) the the lighter towards the front. Weight distribution can be tricky sometimes. Best thing to is go on the scales ofter for a bit to get familiar with the numbers when you load different weights and place it in different locations on the trailer.

[@nowwetransport1784]

Is hotshoting freight better than cars? I stay in SC and I was playing with the numbers and I realized that fule price going to Florida with a load of cars at 300ea would destroy your profit both ways... This totally discouraged me... I was thinking that hotspoting was going to be my way out of the struggle.... Obviously I know I could take something closer but it's looking like cars won't bring in any money... I was going to haul cars until I season my MC and then switch to mostly freight. What do you think?

[@The6wheelsOffice]

The video is 🔥🔥🔥

[@waynebarnes1369]

Would you ever think of trying to work with another hot shot or have your with become a full time dispatcher

[@blakeperkins517]

Would you be willing to do a video explaining why some hot shots stay away from wide loads, I'm wanting to learn every step on the business and driver side

Lol you see em 😏

[@angoor101]

I hope you reply. I’m a retired 63 year old man in good physical shape. I’m a recent CDL graduate, got my TWIC card and all the trucking endorsements available on my CDL. I won’t need any financing with equipment and I’ve decided on a Dodge 5500 with longer wheel base much like yours and I love your trailer. That’s the setup I’ll be purchasing. I worked at a mega carrier as an OTR driver for a short time, but I want to start a hotshot business. I’ve owned and operated various businesses for most of my working years and a car lot for twenty years as my last career. I’ve moved cars out of State and to Canada. I know hotshot operation is much different than driving a three car hauler. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@HotshotMacc]

That's great to hear! With your experience, transitioning into hotshot trucking should be a good move. Here are some tips: Market Research: Understand local demand and build relationships with brokers and shippers. Equipment Maintenance: Keep your Dodge 5500 and trailer well-maintained to minimize downtime. Logistics: Plan routes and loads efficiently to maximize earnings. Compliance: Stay updated on FMCSA regulations for safety and legal compliance. Customer Focus: Build strong customer relationships to establish a solid reputation. We also offer training at our office. Interested? Reach out at 832-500-0043. Good luck with your hotshot business!

Hello Macc when your on the road with your wife,do you sleep in the truck or get a room. Is getting rooms tax deductible.

Whats up bro! We do both, in the truck and hotels. Yes I believe hotels are tax deductible but I would confirm with a professional CPA.

You need a twic card for that port or were you able to get a escort ?
