I’ve always liked the hotshot videos
3 or so videos ago when you picked this up you did tell people you bought the truck at first.
I never used the word buy that I remember. Even in the title it said I was handed the keys to this truck. Nobody with a 609 credit score is buying a 80k+ truck 😅
@@CPSteveMiller you 100% did i remember and was like what timestamp is 6:39 in the video you go down in the dakota. You might of even said it after that again.
If I did it's clarified now at least. I don't remember but I also was up for 3 days when I made that video so it may have slipped passed
@@CPSteveMiller go listen at 639 that's atleast one time you said it. I knew you didn't but I'm sure other viewers didn't.
Flatbed will help keep you in shape and always dirty. Used to wear a BBQ apron to keep rusty chain stuff off of your cloths.
Good understanding of the dually v single wheel. If you get a blowout on the dually rears you have some control at leastif loaded, single rear your on the wheel and pucker factor takes over.
Broooo you rock! this video was EVERYTHING! im glad I got my dully as non CDL
Steve your videos are amazing. God bless you
Looks like one of those Manassas,VA loads i used to load outta Comstar, Awesome!
Keep the video's coming love them CP 👍👍👍
I've had this problem with 7K axles. My trailer is a Diamond C 2020 35' that I purchased new. My problems began 6 months after purchase . At first it was just one spring that broke and I replaced that with a new local made spring. I also had a spare spring made and carried that in my tool box. There was some tire wear but I caught the problem right away. The spring broke at the end where the bolt goes thru. I didn't know what to look for because the spring looked normal but the axle looked like it had moved a couple of inches.
2 months later I had a blow out just as I was coming into a town for my delivery. I had checked the tires at 5 AM and they were fine but 2 hours later the tire was in pieces. The other tires were also worn. The tire shop sent 2 men and a mobile tire truck. They replaced the tire and found the hanger bolt was worn thru and gone. I got a $500 dollar bill.
I decided to take the trailer to TNT Truck and Trailer in my home town. I had them inspect everything. Turns out ALL the bolts were worn and 2 more springs were broken. I ordered 3 more springs from my spring maker and replaced everything. The bolts from the factory were installed in the raw steel hangers and equalizers. I had everything replaced with bolts and bronze bushings. To date (1 1/2 years latter ) I've had no problems
In summery: The springs and bolts (and maybe the axles) are made in China. The springs break and so do the bolts. I had to have 5x springs made by a local spring maker and all the bolts & bushings replaced. Had to replace 3 of the 4 tires and spend about $4k in parts and repairs.
This trailer has never had a load greater than 9,000 lbs. I use CAT scales often and I know my weights. The trailer is rated for 15,500 GVWR. The trailer itself weighs 5,500 lbs. The spring shop says the factory springs are junk. They have been in business since 1916 so maybe they know something we don't.

FJB, LGB, FEPA, and F Kamala. Feels good to say it! Cheers brotha!
It’s never getting boring 😅 be safe !
Awesome video. You did a great job explaining that. I have never even thought about the tire ratings. Yes and the EPA is stupid.
Not just the EPA is stupid it goes from the very top down. "IF YOU DO AS YOU ALWAYS DONE YOU GET WHAT YOU ALWAYS GOT."
Great video my friend keep up the great work 👍
Cool... keep up the good work...
You need to share this video on ALL fb groups!
I stay off Facebook groups. Too toxic
Great video xplanations
Damnit son, kicking a$$ and takin names!
You are exactly right about the 10k cdl BS. And also right about the EPA
The rear hanger on the passenger side is missing the stop that is usually welded in there. If you notice the leaf spring is riding against the top of the hanger, that's causing the miss alignment.
I thought it looked off. I completely forgot that there was supposed to be one in there. I'll check the rest tomorrow
I only run duallys so I agree with u.
Check the equalizer. Had to change mine out, they were shot… I did a video on it. Good luck
Did you see see the EPA is giving Rich Rebuilds(think that the name) a hard time because he made a YT video about him putting a 4bt into a wrecked Tesla. He had to compromise and make the car run on biofuel(oil from McDonald’s) to get the epa off his back. 😂 it’s like ok you’re not burning diesel so it’s ok now. WTF....running French fry oil is somehow environmentally friendly. Just a FYI...I seen the same guy take the entire battery pack 100kw out of a Tesla and put it on the concrete floor without getting a negative comment.
So if I delete my new truck and run it on bio fuel I'm good. Got it! 😂
Truck driving is always 14 -16 hours per day.
Liking the HS and vlog content
Let us know in a vid whenever you have a chance if you like freight or car hauling! Thanks for the vids bro super informative
I was just thinking after I'd seen u driving this that I'm sure you wish it was a dually do to the stability, on control compared to a single tire.
I had the same problem with my trailer
I always hated the loves there in Carlisle pa always very hard to get out of during the day but I like there showers
Great vid as always brother. Was wondering...if my MC and insurance is setup for running general freight...what changes do I need to make to run power only? Be safe out there ✌️
There was a non commercial policy for when you're empty. Can't remember the exact details on that as its been awhile. I haven't had to talk to my own insurance guy for years since I've just been leased on. Other than that you still need the cargo and liability insurance
Good stuff.
Uk CDL equivalent is HGV, AND you need one for anything over 7000lb or 3500kg
Is it hard to get that license in the UK?
You need to do thoery. Then take lessons firstly in a rigid vehicle, and pass a test, wait a few months and then take lessons in an artic (semi) and pass that test, you also need 37.5 hours of classroom shite about safe loading, driving hours, vehicle checks, and health and safety. But you can stagger those hours as long as its at least 7.5 hours at a time.
The cost is the biggest hurdle for most people, It's more awkward than hard.
I just looked at my buddies Texas license. It says 26k or less trailer. And it is standard C .
LAst video you said you had 20 min left on clock and 10 travel. What happens if you run out so close ? do you just shut down where you are. I miss the Paper Logs I ran 30-40 years ago. Just getting back into this and the E-logs have me a bit confused.
If you're that close I'd just use personal conveyance.
How do you like the gooseneck? I like you, prefer a 5th wheel adapter myself.
I still prefer the 5th wheel. If it wasn't a lease I'd swap it over to 5th wheel. Also easier to hookup😅
Problem with a dualltbtandem trailer for NonCdl hotshot. Is the extra weight of the trailer it is around 2000 pounds... that is you can't put on as freight.
Yeah never buy a tandem dually for non cdl. I know guys who did and they aren't making much money. Those trailers are HEAVY
I think the trailer should have been a dually for the size of the trailer and you are right about having a dually truck instead of a single wheel truck
Dually trailer means cdl though. Most guys don't want the headache
Aren't there Federal Regs covering the trailers weights vs CDL requirements ?? Just wondering.
Yes. I have the page screenshotted on my phone for people that like to argue. Lots of guys think a cdl a is a trailer over 10k OR a combination over 26,000 when in fact it's 26,001 or more INCLUSIVE to a 10,001 pound or greater trailer. No idea why to don't just say 26,001+ is cdl and 26,000 and below is class c. They really have to make it annoying.
Now that's federal stuff. States may have their own requirements. Cali is the only state that has the "If the trailer is over 10k you need a class a cdl W/ restriction 88". That's only if you live there though.
www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-license/drivers
Class A*: Any combination of vehicles which has a gross combination weight rating or gross combination weight of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001 pounds or more) whichever is greater, INCLUSIVE of a towed unit(s) with a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) whichever is greater.
Class B*: Any single vehicle which has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight of 11,794 or more kilograms (26,001 pounds or more), or any such vehicle towing a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight that does not exceed 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds).
Class C: Any single vehicle, or combination of vehicles, that does not meet the definition of Class A or Class B, but is either designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver, or is transporting material that has been designated as hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and is required to be placarded under subpart F of 49 CFR Part 172 or is transporting any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR Part 73.
In some of the shots it looks like your trailer frame is not level. May just be the camera angle, but if it's low in the front raise the GN hitch. That affects trailer tire wear. Another thing is your weight capacity. If you are running non-CDL with a newer dually rated for 14K, then your trailer is derated to 12K. The trailer rating is the maximum that the trailer and it's cargo can weigh. That includes the tongue weight, not just what's on the trailer axles. Just like your truck cannot exceed 14K between the front and rear axle. So if you 12K rated trailer weighs 8K, that leaves 4K for cargo, NOT 10K. Maybe you get away with it, maybe not. DOT can take the 14K GVWR of the truck and add that to the actual weight of the trailer and it's cargo and that would put you over 26K. As for your trailer tires, I swapped out the cheap garbage for Hercules H901's that are rated at about 3750 Lbs. and they last a very long time. Well worth the investment!
Very rare they ever do that. You really have to piss off a dot officer to go that far. In general most of the load is transferred to the truck itself. You can't separate the two and weigh them because that's just a dot officer trying to screw somebody over. Never is that how it works. As long as you're under your gcwr and your under your tire ratings you'll never have an issue.
Put 10k on a trailer and most of that weight will end up transferred to the truck.
Just get 12ply tires a dually truck and trailer weights over 16k combined
Generally non cdl you'll get a 10k capacity plus or minus a few. Just gotta scale decent. Try to keep the setup in between 15.5k and 16.5k

Hey that rear axle slipper spring pads are busted!
I know. That trailer got sent back in for repair
I need commercial tags for my 25GN 40ft trailer. I’m CDL…explain the numbers for getting tags.Please
You need to get your gcwr. Gvwr of the truck = the gvwr of the trailer = gcwr. That's what you'll need to register the truck at.
@@CPSteveMiller Appreciate it Boss
i bet your getting your truck back but built like brand new lol i wish
It sold
What happen to your dodge black one? I thought you were running with that dodge but now a ford?
No, I sold it
When loading a flatbed we used to try and stop our load at the center of the tandem axles for proper scaling.
Doing these single loads I let them figure it out 😂
It’s the equalizer bolts an leaf are bad
It's such a common problem
Wassup
Are you going to complete your CDL?
Yes. Just need the setup to do so
So on an 12k registered trailer that weighs 8k, you can then only haul 4000 pounds on your deck? Doesn’t seem to be a good payload?
Long story short I have a 11300gvwr truck and have an machine that weighs 12,500 pounds that I want to move. And most trailers with a 14k rating way somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 pounds so am I out of luck with a non cdl setup?
You take the whole weight off the combination. Subtract the actual weight from the combination rating. That's your capacity. Then you need to keep each axle under weight. Gotta remember a lot of the weight on the trailer is being transferred to the truck
@@CPSteveMiller thanks
My gooseneck has a GVWR of 20k and my dually has one at 10k ..does that mean I need a cdl
Yup combined your 30k gvwr your 4k over weight. Just derate the trailer to 16k and your legal
Its stupid where I live. 10200lbs you HAVE to have a cdl (heavy trailer endorsement) Commercial use or not, even a camper over 10200lbs 🙃🙃.. bc Canada
Canada is a whole different ball game 😅
What’s the cost to lease each week
It's a percentage, not a set cost
so where this info and have you been stopped in pa with a trailer over 10k?
Many many times I have been inspected in pa. My old trailer was 17,000 gvwr
@@CPSteveMiller In nepa they put you out of service with a trailer over 10k without a class a
They can't do that anywhere in the United States other than California and that's only if you live there. We have lawyers in every state willing to take that case. Easy win and the cop looks like an idiot for not knowing the law.
Weight should be on the bill of lading
Yeah I saw that after. Heavy tubes
Not true.. MY Nevada driver license says right on the back- trailer 10,000 or below.
So did my pa license. It's old rule and outdated. I looked on the dmv site in your state. 100% true. Keep it under 26, 001 and you're fine
Furst 👍
The 10k trailer rule is for class b drivers. They can hook to a trailer with a gvwr of 9999 lb without needing a class a
Class B can hook to anything under 10,001. Never understood the 9,999 thing. It's 10,000 for class b and 10,001+ for class a
They might not write a ticket for over 10k trailer non cdl every time but they can- UNLESS you are delivering RV trailers. FMCSA waived that rule for the RV industry a few years ago and it is still in effect.
I literally have the screenshot from the fmcsa website. No cdl is required for trailers over 10k units it's a class B unit where the power vehicle is over 26k. I've argued with so many people about it and that's why I keep it pulled up at all times. Such a big debate but can't argue the fmcsa website. It's on there.
Class a states that the combination is over 26,000 inclusive to a trailer over 10,000.
My Navada license actually says 10k or less on the back. My buddies says 26 nor less . But mine is a. Evade and his is Texas. I will get a Texas license else as soon as I fi.d the paperwork to register my F350 here. Texas won't issue a license to anyone who doesn't register theor cars here. At least any that show up on the computer seach.
Personally I think any commercial vehicle should require a cdl but same with personal stuff. It's crazy you can tow 80k with a semi if it's personal use. Mind blowing really
You can only tow 80k without a cdl in a few states. Unless it's an RV...
So with that set up you can only do 23k?
23,700 if I remember correctly since I edited this video. Yeah, it's pretty low. I'll be back in a dually soon but with a shorter trailer
@@CPSteveMiller hell yeah.
40 footer in non cdl is just wasted potential. Single tire, 25-30 footer max flat bed with 14 ply tires for durability. I wouldn't even do max ramps if I was just using it for hotshot.
For local, sure. Otr non you can utilize that whole deck easily and will make more money. Anything under 40 is a waste for otr. For local I'd be fine with a smaller trailer but my one load was 37ft a few videos back
Ferd
I don’t like electric cars cool video
Have you ever driven a Tesla? The self driving and acceleration is pretty nice. Plus electric motors are superior for towing.
Piss the government off they can shut off your car. That's why they push electric cars. Electric is great and all until we realize diesel generators are what keep them running.
West Texas has a huge amount of truckS amd gooseneck trailer. Oil field work and farming... Texas DOT are complete diks to NonCdl guys. The Temps are 110 to 110 in summer. So the road is 14t plus degrees. So guys buy 16 ply tires to protect against blowouts. Then get inspected and get shut down for having CDL tires on aNonCdl rig! I know, mentally ill statement. But they write tickets for having tires that can carry a Cdl load- even if you never did. And the local Judges are saying they can do it. A friends oil company spent $45k fight it and lost every time. Total BS. Also be careful with axle ratings. It will out you out of service right now. If DOT desires to.
Amen to the electric stuff. We are not ready for the grid nor are they ready to have these EVs pull anything. Back to the drawing board for electric vehicles

Don't those fishing hooks stuck in your lip hurt ?
Tf are you talking about?
@@CPSteveMiller those hooks in your lips, they look like they would hurt ? That's all just wondering what those feel like.
Dude literally made it sound in previous videos like he was buying this thing or leasing to own type of thing just trying to flex
lmao
If your towing less than 22k no reason to have a dually. G-rated tires 4400lbs. Who's the jackass that put e-rated tires on both the truck and trailer literally bare minimum. My single 19.5's rated at 5k per tire.
All 1 tons and trailers come with them. You don't need 19.5s to upgrade though at least not on the trailer. E rated tires are plenty on a dually truck. Never had a blowout since I got tpms and I've hauled up to 25,000 pounds on those tires. Trailers are a different story though
looks overwieght bro.
why did you lie and say you bought this before?
Never said I bought this one but okay
I said I was buying a 2010 to 2012 Ram which I am absolutely doing
@@CPSteveMiller previous video exact words: "alright guys the moment you all have been waiting for, I know, shocking. You guys ready to see what truck I bought? I know I already put it in the thumbnail. Here she is 2022 f250." So why lie again?
@@darrellbrown3597 he lies exaggerates and never follows through. If you watch his videos for a while you will see. I don't believe a word he says ever. Videos are entertainment only.
I don't remember saying it and I've already stated I'm leasing it in this video. It's almost like everyone is perfect. You stay awake for 3 days straight and don't make a mistake 😅
I would never drive an electric piece of shit vehicle! I'll stick with the Cummins! No problem.👍
