Im doing some research for a project. What are some of the biggest operational headaches you guys deal with daily? Ive heard BOL generation, and sending invoices is a headache.
I have a question for you. First wanted to say you advice has been great!!!!. My question to you is what is opinion on cars vs freight. What comes easier to you?
Very informative. I bought a f350 amd got my medical card yesterday. Melanie to look for a trailer what do you recommend? My truck is SRW but not sure If to get a SRW trailer or dually for loads....what would you suggest? Starting my CDL in a week👍 Thanks for the feedback🙏
Hi, thanks so much for the content. My husband is very interested in doing hotshot. I am doing research on his behalf, but I don't quite know what to look for or what would be considered a good company to apply with. Any other advice you could share on this?
Hey Tim can u do a video on your trucks Tire Specs like the name of them the amount of Plys and what not? or just answer it on this comment, thank you!
I have a truck lifted to about 7” is it possible … I know I’ll lose mileage with the wheels I have , but what I’m asking what are the truck requirement
Thank you for responding sir.. or boss lady😉… I completely understand your reply. While you were leased were you allowed to display your company logo or did you have to display the lease company logo and #’s?
@@HotshotMacc well according to Florida statue it’s 53ft depending on weight and permit… considering the weight of a 40ft varies also the load that could be accompanied … I was told to be safe and not hassle not to go over 35ft
I'm starting by leasing on as an owner operator. I get mixed answers on insurance. People say I need to be under authority insurance and some say I can have my own. I've read that owner operators have basic insurance only. I need a straight answer. As an owner operator that is leasing on do I need my own insurance or do I need to be under authority insurance? Where can I find more info on this?
If you are considering leasing on to a company the only insurance they will likely offer you is the commercial liability of 1,000,000 and Cargo of 100,000. Still, you are responsible for bobtail/Physical insurance for your truck and trailer.
Hello Mr Tim , I have questions for you , where I could found a company for doing hotshot, I don’t have Cdl license, I don’t have enough money to get the insurance, I just I have my truck I and my trailer
@@briansullivan.1341 nope, not if you're trucking you can't. even if you own the company and driving your own truck. you have to register with FMCSA drug and alcohol clearinghouse program.
Question? My dad his an owner operator his own rig and trailer with his insurance can I just jump in his insurance ? Can I just lease on to his insurance can use his mc-dot numbers
How many times did I say research 🧐 😂 Follow me on IG @hotshot_macc. Appreciate y’all!

Blessings!!!
Somebody wanna tell Tim he at 11k now??👀👀
🤣
Who did you lease on with?
Can you give some ideas as to what companies are good?
Very informative.
I bought a f350 amd got my medical card yesterday. Melanie to look for a trailer what do you recommend? My truck is SRW but not sure If to get a SRW trailer or dually for loads....what would you suggest?
Starting my CDL in a week👍
Thanks for the feedback🙏
If you are going to operate as a CDL I suggest having dually. So you don’t overload you axles with the heavier loads.
When leased do you work on your own time meaning i choose the loads or am i obligated to do every single load the company throws my way
You choose, It’s your truck and set up!
Hi, thanks so much for the content. My husband is very interested in doing hotshot. I am doing research on his behalf, but I don't quite know what to look for or what would be considered a good company to apply with. Any other advice you could share on this?
That’s awesome! You can find companies on google and indeed. I’m with hotshot107.com for now.
What is your home state? Does it matter with lease company?
Do you have info on companies to least on as a hot non cdl hot shot??
From my experience and who I’ve dealt with directly, hotshot107 is the company I would recommend.
Thank u
Hey Tim can u do a video on your trucks Tire Specs like the name of them the amount of Plys and what not? or just answer it on this comment, thank you!
That’s a great idea. Thanks bro
Why you dont have strap winders on your merch just a observant
Assuming you are talking about the amazon store?
@@HotshotMacc yes
if you do not have a cdl you can not be over 26.000 pounds. This includes truck trailer and what ever is on the trailer correct?
Correct!
What are some companies at least on new drivers?
I’m happy to watch the video but I wanna be a hotshot drive can you help me
I can definitely help! Check out our website and boom a consultation.
Hey Macc, are u going to start a paid online training course?
Not at the moment. But likely in the future
I have a truck lifted to about 7” is it possible … I know I’ll lose mileage with the wheels I have , but what I’m asking what are the truck requirement
That’s a good question. To be honest I don’t know bro
Who will lease on a non cdl hot shot truck? Ready to work jus looking for a company that will take non no cdl trucks. Thanks
Where are you located bro?
If my trucks GVWR is 10,800 what do you recommend my trailer be rated at to stay non cdl?
As a non cdl O/O, did you have a LLC? Were you able to tax deduct your vehicle, gas, securing materials, etc?
Yes, but this is best discussed with you CPA
Thank you for responding sir.. or boss lady😉… I completely understand your reply. While you were leased were you allowed to display your company logo or did you have to display the lease company logo and #’s?
Hi broo you need to in espanish please thanks
Mi esposa tendria que hacer el video 😁
hello brother thanks for the reply. Do you know what I can do with a minivan in hotshot? I can't buy another vehicle
Where do I look up a company's info?
You need cdl for 40ft and I believe over 35 so do your own dd
You don’t beed a CDL for 40ft or over 35ft if your total length is no more than 65ft so do your own dd
@@HotshotMacc well according to Florida statue it’s 53ft depending on weight and permit… considering the weight of a 40ft varies also the load that could be accompanied … I was told to be safe and not hassle not to go over 35ft
Well you do that within your state! I go by DOT guidelines.
I have a question, when you start with leasing On , that means you only need the truck & trailer ?
Yeah bro pretty much. You’ll still need to get a medical card, insurance for the equipment and your own securement items.
I'm starting by leasing on as an owner operator. I get mixed answers on insurance. People say I need to be under authority insurance and some say I can have my own. I've read that owner operators have basic insurance only. I need a straight answer. As an owner operator that is leasing on do I need my own insurance or do I need to be under authority insurance?

Hello Macc, question: If I go as an owner operator to be leased on, would I be allowed to use a lease Enterprise truck ?
Going live on Instagram in 20 minutes. Answering questions there!
How do I find these companies? I’ve been looking for hours but I guess I just can’t word it right in google?
At the time I was looking I used google and indeed.
Hello Mr Tim , I have questions for you , where I could found a company for doing hotshot, I don’t have Cdl license, I don’t have enough money to get the insurance, I just I have my truck I and my trailer
I am with hotshot107.com , theres other companies out there you can find in Indeed.com and google.
Did they give you a hard time at the dmv when you did your registration?
Not at all!
Can I hotshot with a 2500 HD? If so can you point me in the right direction
Hey bro that’s to much for a comment. Reach out on my Instagram or tune on the Club House we discuss everything about Hotshot. Links in my bio
Or you able to disclose the company you are lease thru
Hothsot107.com
I have a question can you have someone ride with you or does it have to be just yourself?
Yes, you can! As long as they are not driving and you have a driver waiver
Do they find your work when leasing on? Or you still find the work ?
They provide dispatching!
What company do you work for/
Hotshot107
Do you get to basically work when you want is there a minimum hours you need to work?
Minimum of 10-14 days Out.
@@HotshotMacc 10-14 days straight or monthly?
Do we need an LLC to lease on with a company?
No you don’t need one to lease on.
What company your lease on?
Hotshot107.com
@@HotshotMacc do you have their logo on your truck
@@HotshotMacc so you don't need a LLC to start with the company you lease on to
Ask your manager and producer 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼
🤣
Can you be leased on with 2 different companies at same time
Not sure about that !
I'm no pro, just learning but I've seen companies that say this is an option but you must be upfront with them that it is your intention.
Is it good to get your LLC b4 you get your truck or afterwards??
Depends what you plan on doing? You don’t need an LLC to be leased on.
@@HotshotMacc I’m doing NON CDL But if I’m leases on I don’t need an LLC?
@@chopchop5382 correct !
Thanks…I gladly appreciate dat 💯💪🏾 hopefully I’ll see you on da road soon!!!
@@chopchop5382 🔥🙏🏽
Does the company your with do forced dispatch?
No forced dispatch
So you book your own loads freely like on DAT or whatever load board? Do they give you access to the load boards or is that your expense?
so wait you cant smoke pot and drive for yourself?
I am talking your own company??
What are you talking about ?
@@HotshotMacc i smoke pot. I enjoy it. If i start my own company , can I continue to smoke pot?
@@briansullivan.1341 nope, not if you're trucking you can't. even if you own the company and driving your own truck. you have to register with FMCSA drug and alcohol clearinghouse program.

Yes you can lease on to his authority or you can be his driver but you will need to be added to his insurance, have your own eld etc.
