Man what an Awesome week. Me and HSS had a great time, great weather and great memories. Ready to head back out again. See y’all at MATS!
Just a thought... When you carry a generator that heavy, put a square piece of wood twice the size of the generator's foot so it covers more than 1 plank of wood...!!!
We did… lolol one piece came out from under and the other broke LOL 😂
Don't worry , the man will catch up wit em on a level 1 someday. It all evens out !!!!
@@DynoDieselWagon if you’re saying the man will catch up to us with a level 1 inferring that we wouldnt pass youre sadly mistaken my friend. We run a tight ship and welcome inspections. Havent failed one yet. We like getting the CVSA stickers lol.. and the boards have already been replaced that same weekend we got off the road
Haven’t seen anyone hotshot with the eco diesels but I own a duramax 1500 Silverado and it towns my enclosed 8.5x20ft trailer with a sxs in it with ease
Nice! What sxs do you have? We ride too

Awesome set up
Appreciate it bro 😎
Dewey Cheetam and Howe!
Great episode :D
Just met you guys. You keep them wheels rolling my brother.
Did anyone else see the jack stand wiggle when loading up the dump truck??
I got a smart car and a 3x5 ramp gate trailer. HAMMER DOWN!
LMAOO run what you brung 🤣
Ron Pratt (YT channel) does heavy recovery, but also ... installed railroad tracks on his trailer to do rail truck jobs... :)
Dang thats really cool actually. Definitely allows him the opportunity to get those railway vehicles
Loved those short quickies. Move a van 78mis for 800 once. Not 21 but over 10. I keep hearing the loads and rates are junk, but you two keep doing it. 👍💪
Its def some "poo poo caka" out here.. i watch the boards all day every day.. even when im off i watch just to see what the market is doing and see where freight is going. but yea we have been doing alright for us.
A Junkie could not live on dem rates
Alot of weight on that trailer.😮
She’s good for it 😁
New to the channel. Most factual in depth look into hot shot trucking. Fast paced all over the country. Super super good . Love the insight on chains and straps techniques. Shorty showed me how to unscrew come alongs by dropping each hook into rub rail. Then spin. Old man in Central Texas enjoying a super good RUclips channel. Don’t change a thing. 😎👍
Welcome to the channel!! Glad to be able to show a new way to unscrew the binders! Every day is an opportunity to learn something new.
i love what you all do me a my fam do the same i think i am gonna start to record our adventures
Go for it man! I started all this out just to record me and my dad on the road and we are here now lol
Great to see a video from you guys... My business partner was recently diagnosed with cancer and was given a year to live... So now I'm going to speed things up and take him out for our first hotshot delivery....
He's a marine tank commander and I will be installing his marine flag inside my truck in his honor... !!!!
I'm hoping that he will stick around for longer than a year...He is 65 years young veteran and it saddens me to see my friend's life be taken early in his life...GOD always takes the great ones young...!!!!
We have been friends for over 30 years and I see him as my brother from another mother...!!!!
Keep up the great work and I truly appreciate and enjoy your videos...!!!!
Man that is such a story! He will be honored in the best way possible! Never met the guy but any kinda friend you can say youve had for 3 decades is a real friend.. i hope he makes it longer than a year and can hit the road with you for a bit.
On another note will you be at Mid America Truck Show? If so we have a gift for you and a few other day 1 viewers.
@@adventuresintrucking1995 I will try to make it... I'm taking turns with his family members taking him to chemo therapy... I volunteered to take him because my mother had cancer and I know what chemo can do to a person...
Brother I would love to go to the event and meet you and shorty but I kinda busy preparing the truck and trailer and taking my buddy to chemo... My wife, thank GOD is also helping me deal with this... I've already lost my best friend ( his nephew) last year...
@@novavroomvroom3435 all good brother i will get your info and we can mail it to you! :)
Just started watching you're vids brotha's and they have inspired me. I drive a 2021 automatic 579 Peterbilt with the 48ft Flat and/or a 53ft step deck for a company out of Mansfield, Tx. I moved furniture for 16 yrs, and only have been driving for about 6mths now and I Love every aspect of the job but the safety and maintenance issues that comes with driving a semi. I've had my own business before that I loss for personal reason but I'm now ready to get back into doing my own thing. Frankly I'm tired of working for ppl. Lol. If your gonna work hard at something it mind as be for yourself, Right! Right. I see much potential in this industry. With that being said I started to talk with hotshot drivers at truck stops whenever I had the opportunity and realized I was getting more positive responses then negative from them unlike those from semi-truck drivers about there jobs, whether they were owner operators or worked for a company. So, I started doing the research on what it took to put it all together and making advances toward it. One of the first things I started to consider was what model truck i was going to use for the business and of course the Ram 3500 seemed to be the choice of most HotShoters. But then while I was pulling out of a Flying J'S after fueling I seen one of those Freightliner Super Chassis you have pulling a HotShot trailer and was Immediately drown to it!!! Like Damn, Yeah Thats The One. For the life of me though couldn't figure out what model it was until I seen one of your vids while doing more research. I gotta say brotha I'm sold on the idea of getting that truck, with the cummins engine of course. LOL There is definitely a positive of having a sleeper that makes these long travels OTR in a semi, barrable. I'm not going to be up and running until next year but when I do I'm Going In HARD!! and I'm going to need at least a certain level of comfort I feel I can get from that model truck. Anywho learn SO Much from just watching 4 of you and the young man's vids. Keep up the good work, be safe out there, and keep putting those vids out there. I'm sure you will be hearing from me once i get father along into the process of putting it all together.
Thanks Again Fella's MrMarcus
Its such an honor to be able to inspire people with our videos. When we first started RUclips it was just to document me and my son’s journey. But to see where our channel has gone to from where it was has shown us that people love what we do and who we are!
Lol, had a small wheel forklift do the same to my trailer. Hate when that happens.
yea it happens.. shame that it did.. but hey we already got the boards replaced and it didnt even take us that long to do it so that was a nice relief. only costed 27 bucks too
Great content, thank you
Thank you for the support!
I got my 98 freightliner century 40ft gooseneck mega ramps on the road💪🏾bro..be safe n careful out there see ya on the highway soon
Hell yea! Same to my friend keep the rubber side down
10 4 driver
Thanks for the great videos.
and thank you for the support of the channel!
Buy a master key set for equipment,
Thats a good idea actually.. thanks!
My guys, good to see y’all out there still truckin and getting to the money. Closed mouths don’t get fed, $21 a mile a big win 🦾🦾🦾. Great video
Appreciate that man always hustlin out here you already know how it is
It’s good to see that you all are still rolling. I’m glad you switched the oil over to a grease bath. Less chance of all of the lubricant leaking out and you burn it up an axle. I’m glad that the hotshot game is picking up. I look forward to the next video
We switched over to grease and havent had any issues since its been amazing.. new video dropping soon!
How about company drivers… I have class A license.. and I live CA city of industry..so What if someone could teach me??

I will NEVER run drum brakes,on my truck or trailer. I do not like extra work.
I would love disc brakes on the trailer but we bought it used so I have to “run what I brung”!😂. They are HUGE drums but they DO do a good job though!
Oh by the way, I really like the stands you made for the back of the trailer, totally going to copy those 😆.
yea its something we definitely had to come up with due to us having an air ride 5th wheel on this setup. with a static 5th wheel you wont run into the issue of having to brace up the trailer as much as we do because there are no air lines to break at the 5th wheel. still worth having for a static hitch imo because it will take a lot of stress out of your 5ht wheel when loading and unloading freight
I have custom built full 48ft deck, 56 overall, so I have a huge overhang. When I load a yard dog or utility truck my trailer will hit the ground.
@@rodneyschnelle315 sheeeesh thats wild! Who makes your trailer?
It’s old, they’re not even in business anymore. Oklahoma Trailer Manufacturering
@@rodneyschnelle315 ahh ok ok… old but gold shes still bringing in that dough for you!
I have extension hoses on the dually to air them up... It makes it easier to air up... I recommend replacing those extension hoses every year... Although they are braided they do tend to fail every once in a while... So to me it makes sense and it's cheaper to replace them every year then replacing the inner tire because the extension hose failed and causes tire failure...
I do have them on the truck and they are prone to leaking as I am dealing with one now that leaks! A new air chuck should fix me right up!
Been catching some of your videos, enjoying them. Would like some info if you see this. Have my eye on a T300 with a sleeper. Has a 8.3 Cummins and automatic like yours. My question is, especially with the tuner, how is your mileage. I stepped down from a peterbilt back in to my 5500 but I’m missing the room of a sleeper. My duramax does good and I’m pretty happy with fuel mileage. I’ve been concerned with how I’ll hurt myself as high as fuel is these days.
Yea great comment.. so first things first man I would recommend downloading mudflap on your phone. We pay 3.50-3.90 a gallon in fuel for about the last month with that app. secondly you can expect to see anywhere from 6-8 mpg depending on the load weight wind drag etc. ultimately i guess you gotta decide if having a sleeper is worth it enough for you to switch back into the bigger truck with the sleeper given the mpgs youll get and what you can pay for fuel with mudflap app
I have a 07 FORD E-450 cab and chassis V-10 GAS POWERED ENGINE...
WAY CHEAPER THAN DIESEL AND DEF.
Cool NVV! We saw an E 450 with a sleeper looking just like a big truck! I’ve been seeing a lot of municipalities running gas engines and even the school buses and delivery companies. Idk know how easy it will be to fill up on fuel as most truck stops do not have gas on the truck side and civilians don’t know how to get through the gas island on the RV side without a huge cluster! Definitely keep us posted, I’m VERY interested to know. Btw, will you be at MATS? We hope to see you there.
I'm just curious what was in that one area that caused you to wear a mask ???
As far as switching to grease from oil, all the semi's I seen have oil both on the tractor axle's as well as the trailer's.
yea youd think.. but grease is the way. Dexter themselves even tells their reps and distributors to have their techs use grease if they remove seals. ever since we switched to grease no more leaks lower hub temps and seals not going bad
as for the masks... i dont even remember lmfaoo sorry
The most impressive thing I see on y’all’s videos are the aluminum ramps! Are they “heavy duty “ or just regular?
honestly theyre 10k ramps.. but if we have something heavier.. we brace them up with dunnage
the only thing i would've changed is never put 2x4's on wheels i know load is tide down but bumps and rocking motion can in lodge the 2x4 and go like i missal of the trailer i use chucks and or tire straps only safest option ... another part of video if they used the large wheel chucks it can left slightly help get up closer to load off trailer ...i have keys to about 20 different Ag & heavy equipment companies buddy told me about this trick said can help and has many times on loads & time to rebuild the trailer i like watching you guys doing good job and thanks Tia doing working good
The wood was their standard loading procedures.. they load all of the trucks that way. We certainly didnt ask for it. As for the keys we definitely need to start stacking up the keys too!
Also thanks for the continued support! We have been seeing you comment on our videos a bunch lately!
@@adventuresintrucking1995 i been hauling 15+ yrs then run with the same setup but different trailer mine has a dove tail on rear trust me that dove tail got me more loads & Tia has a brother
Imagine 16k on the last 4 ft of your trailer lol also those 2 front MQ25 are 2500 each.
That's the downfall of sport chassis they 2wd.
You can buy master sets from H&E United Sunstate Sunbelt
Yea this trailer is stout definitely sounds funny when you say it like that 🤣 they do make 4WD sport chassis we just dont have one lol.. and ill definitely look into a master set
@@adventuresintrucking1995 I bought a sport chassis from transwest trucks the 4wd option was $12k 🤦♂️ I did order the paccar 9 with Allison
These are great over the road trucks where the rams are good for 200k miles if lucky
As far as trailer ,brace that rear with dunnage to be safe I bet you've seen twisted trailers rolling down the road wondering what the hell they did lol
@@steveco6844 100% agree.. just so much more truck! and the rear of the trailer is always braced.. we have to because of air ride hitch if we dont then it will snatch the airlines out of the bags so its always braced up
We use either dunnage or jack stands depending on the situation
Oh yeah I’ve got f-150 I could haul 16000 on trailer. Eco
LMFAO youd be surprised what you run into out here on the road man.. personally not the setup we would recommend but everybody gotta start somewhere i guess
folks be puttin it down in the f150s LOLOL let them tell it 150 the same as 350 and 450
Are you running with a Class A? What is the limit on your trailer? Great video!
Yes its a class A setup and weve had 24k on the trailer at its max.. we have a video on that as well! Thank you for the support!
How tall is your deck height on the trailer?
33"
I've seen a few guys hotshotting with a half ton truck. I wouldn't do it, you are limited in the loads you may accept. I will never run anything less than a dually.
Ok so its not just us then! I guess theres something out there for everyone.. he did say he wanted to see if he would even like trucking and that hes a retired marine and has the time 🤣
Where did you get your truck at?
Private seller in PA
I need some equipment hauled from Ritchie bros in Orlando! How do I get a hold of you?
Precisiontransportsystems@yahoo.com
What kind of equipment is it?
@@adventuresintrucking1995 2 diesel scissor lifts and some skidsteer attachments.
@@brianfrey2784 gotcha i saw the email just got a chance to reply there.
how can get loads like you
Knowing the lanes and being in the right place at the right time helps a lot. And avoiding dead zones
12000 lb with two straps ?
Three if you count the one going around it 🤣… had to actually reopen video to remember what the load was but yea it rode like a dream.. no shifting no straps were lose load road great and got delivered on time as promised.
Is that 107,000 or 707,000 miles for the next service?
Im not following you sorry. ( i don’t remember entire video) what needs service?
@@adventuresintrucking1995 the service sticker on your windshield brother , was that your miles before next service? 107,000 or 707,000?
@@GM-gj8hs service when we hit that mileage.. truck is at 167k now
Yea to go what 40 miles hhaha stop with these short fake rates for ppl who may think that’s normal or average or even consistent with normal loads going normal distances hahah
Tell me you didnt watch the video without telling me you didnt watch the video 😂😂… absolute scrub.. if you dont want to be a genuine supporter leave… as a matter of fact if you can drop a time stamp from this video where we said we went a long distance with it or where we said this is normal rates ill send $500 to you personally. Show me where we did that in this video and the money is yours. I’ll wait
Read some other comments on this video read the climate of the comments section no one is being tricked or fooled here by this video thinking this was a normal rate
