  • My first full week of the new lane strategy trying to stay local in hotshot trucking. I’m saving for a drone, if you wanna help use a link below for any amazon purchase at no additional cost to you. Let me know in the comments if you used one, I’ll name my next child after you;)

    Subscribers,
    I’m really surprised at how fast we’re building a hotshot community here on the channel. You’ve been great, truly inspiring me to create more helpful, informative videos in an entertaining way. Bear with me, it’s tough being a one man trucking company, self dispatched, while trying to figure out this RUclips stuff.
    Thanks again.
    J.Moffit

    5 mins into it...the person is exactly like PIGLET!!! They all tell you its great untill it flops. 100k in equipment and crappy rates. Running around sleeping inside a pick-up smelli g your own farts. While deleting a federally mandated emissions truck. Tell everyone while your at it. They MUST repair all the deleting when you return that vehicle because the shit hit the fan. WTF!! I can't believe these guys are still trying to look cool in sunglasses and tell everyone its awesome out there.

      Ill be make on the road probably next week. Winter i usually run down sound the ga, luisiana, texas (if i have to) cali runs. But Im liking this strategy you got going on, and im gonna give it a try to start with. It seems you basically pick up a load, head to the house, next mornning deliver,,, pick up around the aread your at and head back toward yoru house,, maybe stop and sleep, and delivery the next morning..not a bad way to do it. And yoru rate per mile,,outstanding i think

      Yeah go waste time and money on this... sooooo new type of business. You're starting at the beginning of an absolutely new trend!!😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦😶‍🌫️. This guy gives so much hope. So much potential. Please whatever you do DON'T listen to me. There's a dude influencer.... a company named piglet. He can absolutely give you even more hope. Which will positively help you stay in this new venture of business. Yeah, i say pull the trigger on that 100K check. Plus all the expenses to remove the FEDERALLY mandated emissions. Please remember to NOT put all that shit back on when you return the vehicle.
      WTF!!! You guys are amazing. 1 guy tells you its great and you believe EVERYTHING the fucking internet says or does. You're worse than a woman. Oh yeah, try not to get butt hurt by my comment. 🤷‍♂️

      It depends on what you’ll be hauling and your budget of course. My trailer being air ride has only gotten me a couple extra loads over the past few months. If you have the money go for it, every little bit helps (air ride, TWIC, tarps, OD, etc.) and research, research… It’s tough out here but even tougher for those who go in blind. Oh, and don’t listen to folks like @bigdog2084 some fellas can’t understand normal thinkin and they just ain’t happy unless they miserable about somethin 😏
