A DAY IN THE LIFE OF HOTSHOT BREAKDOWNS WITH ME IN 2024! CAN YOU HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!
Come with me as we tackle what it takes to quickly handle a breakdown in the hotshot trucking world in 2024. A backup truck is everything, and sometimes a shop / mobile mechanic will not properly diagnose the issue. You can easily end up wasting time and money. Decisions are everything in hotshot trucking. One wrong move, money is thrown away. Through it all we have to keep God first and ten toes down.

Having to get repairs over the road will slow down your week, so you most definitely have to plan for it, and sometimes things aren't done right the first time. In the mix of routing myself to the repair shop, I was due for an oil change and had to find a place that sold the oil I use. I also uncover places you can get your truck washed without having to go to a major truck wash, i.e. Blue Beac...

ANOTHER 6.0 TOW | WE CANT CATCH A BREAK | MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR LOAD CHECKS
Currently in the box truck business but I’m really looking into the hotshot with car hauling we’ll see if I make that change gotta get my cdl
Hey what’s up man, hope everything is good, what is the capacity on your fuel auxiliary tank?
60 gallons!
@@hotshotwithme Thank you, hope to see new videos soon.
Dude, audio sucks running that camera in the loud ass truck
How can I contact you bro?
@@sbs-0055 hmu on IG; the handles the same
Hey Bro, Just found you and following you on RUclips. Thank you for your knowledge and information. I am considering getting into the business. Do you think it is a good time? I would be starting from scratch. Thanks in advance.
@@louisdixon1969 i believe at this point the market has leveled itself out; def get in if you want to but pro tip, its a partial game, not a 1pick 1drop game.
@@hotshotwithme Thank you.
What is the best load board for hot shots, you never said or did you mean all of them?
truck stop for sure but DAT works just as well
dang didnt think about the cost of showers!
yessir! but of course you can get shower points at a TA etc through their rewards program and get most for free OR get a planet fitness membership with unlimited free showers
Just curious why not get a new truck and pay monthly 1,500-1,700 a month on a brand new truck You spend the same amount on fixing these trucks up all the time Just a question keep up the good videos 👍🏼
i agree with the thought process 💯; however there are seasons where my truck has little if any problems for about 50-60k miles which makes it back worth it; i will say it all depends on the person but for the most part, youre right
I’ve been looking online to find numbers about gooseneck setup and how much it can haul but can’t find anything.
check facebook marketplace; they have options if you havent looked there
You had to already have like 30k before before you even got your CDL lol
yessir; esp if you want to be as debt free as possible
What’s the name of the song in the video
Smart move with two service providers
I want that van looks amazing
Sir you need a mic , can’t hear shit you sayin
2:13 thank me later
Just found your channel. Me and my husband drive hotshot for someone else. Been out west 3 times and I absolutely hated it. We're from North Alabama, driving for Cowboy Transport. 23:38
Sweet rig man.
preciate it!
That mic is terrible bro but I commend the information
haha i got a new one
All the time or just the f350
Do you still use the van
its the backup, so when need be
Hope everything is ok
preciate you reaching out! many moving parts just been trying to put it all together; vids will be coming back soon!
Sounds good Can't wait
What’s wrong with containers? I haul them.
theyre just not for me and my equipment; its cool if you like them though; bad mpg for hotshot; rates for them arent what they used to be, so theyre kinda pointless for me; hard on load on the truck; and if ur midwest/ your securement isnt on point, that wind will take you if youre not careful
@@hotshotwithme oh okay. I am a local company driver. I get your point now.
Big man where do you get this set up done
@@J-Hometransportation the driveway haha
@@hotshotwithme wait you did it yourself? If so I can well and a carpenter, I can do it
@J-Hometransportation yessir! It was a family build to say the least! All in the OGs driveway.. his vision done on a budget
Where are the videos at???
haha otw!
Post trip and pre trip inspections are important. Here’s to you doing it right
3 hrs max for water pump replacement
For sharing what you did, I subbed bud. Ty!
Pre trip the rental😂😂 man u got that owner op mentality. Good to see u back
😂😂😂 preciate it fam!
Dot ever bother you with the truck being deleted?
no sir
Do you use a garmin trucker gps?
that and truckers path i run both
If your trying to idle for long periods like overnight... ect
These trucks hate to idle... not good for them. Id think about getting a small portable ac unit that has heat and a small generator.
i know; i barely idle; and small generator easier said than done with my setup and how much stuff i already carry with me
No
I subscribed bro can you give specs on woody is this a chevy van converted into a hotshot im trying to build one it looks like a chevy express van from the front
13 chevy express; 6.6l duramax 4500; rwd; cutaway from a used ambulance
I have a recommendation he in Montgomery, I drop my truck every time I'm off the road. His prices are the best, great services, he keeps alot of HOTSHOTs rolling.
