You seem to be a good planner Jason-and thats good to see!! So many other guys are just running around crazy with no thought or plan on what they are doing.
@@richardbarkley9909 appreciate that. When I got into hotshot I leased on to a company and that’s what the dispatcher did, just picked the best paying load in my area with no planning whatsoever, which obviously landed me in a dead zone the first week. From then on I realized you have to have a plan.
Just curious, what Keyboard are you using with your IPad? I saw the mount listed. How does it do with the job bounces? Love the videos. Are you still looking at a transfer tank? Someone said Aluminum due to rust in the steel ones…. If you can cut out a fuel stop a day or buy fuel at a better price…. Just set it up on direct transfer to the fuel neck.
As far as tires go that we talked about yesterday- I'm guessing that with winter coming that you will encounter snow emergency routes up where you are?? I remember when I lived in Maryland many years ago that there were several. Anyway....Wondering if you can get away with running all-season tires and not actual snow tires on your rear drive axle over having to get and fool with chains?
@@Jmoffit22 I honestly don't know the snow emergency route laws and requirements. Firestone makes an A/S version of the Transforce tire that is slightly more agressive but certainly not an all out "snow tire"
Sometimes 4x4 and traction/snow tire will get you forgiveness but plan on drive tires and having at least one drag chain for the trailer. Having a spare set for drive is never a bad idea either, but I live in snow country too.
I've noticed in your other videos that your license plate was bent up from the lower left corner, I thought it was that way for a reason. I'm now thinking that something was/is/did catch it and has now torn it off....
@@Jmoffit22 what would you reccomend I heard motive is good? also what's a good factoring company? just starting out need to find out what would be a good route to go their mostly all work same but different rates and benefits???
@@ATJR.Logistics motive is good 👍 I use triumph factoring, they don’t offer me no recourse factoring so that’s a bummer and they require a contract. However, the factoring companies that do offer no recourse are often more strict on broker approval so it’s six and one hand and a half dozen in the other, if you catch my drift.
@@Jmoffit22 thank you! been watching you for about 2 months great content going in non cdl but working towards my cdl just to get some experience before I get hauling those bigger loads
Ran up through that way last week. Man your poor truck😮 those roads are rough. Stay safe out there!
Jumping on my shovel for a fall ride now. Stay safe driva
Cool ending. Nice bike 😎
Check the load board, take time and for to reset your bearings, a navy term. You have two choices and trust your gut it’s always right.

@@Jmoffit22 The only thing dispatchers and brokers care about is the $$ in THEIR pockets!
A bike ride will get your head right. Enjoy and ride safe.
@@Dropkicksouthy I think we all going on Sunday you should come
I miss the original flame-broiled large diameter Whoppers of the '60s & '70s....

No license plate, no go criteria

@@richardbarkley9909 that’s something I’ve been contemplating here lately because I’m ready for drive tires soon.

Yeah, you did

@@richardbarkley9909 I bent it up 😏
Alot of the truck stops have a curb where you back in... it seems to love the flat deck hotshot trailers... I'm constantly un bending mine...
If They’re a good customer you can go back
I noticed that your trailer had been chewing on your license plate on the last video 😮
😆
Sorry no license plate that’s risky best you go home
🤣🤣
