Hi Tim. Word of advice. As a trucker myself I do not use my phone. Because if you get DOT you're giving the officer the right to look through your phone. Start using a tablet and that way you can give them the tablet not your phone. Be safe and God bless.
That’s a good point and I do have my tablet but don’t use it.I need to get in the habit of using it. Thanks for the advice.
Good advice. Thanks for that tidbit.
I use motive, and there's a code that you can put in your phone, so when the DOT has your phone, he can only look at your logs only.
Love the advice
@@MichaelBelenskihow do you do that
Had tickets to stadium tour for Motley and Def in 2020. Hopefully we will be able to see them in 2022. Love the shirt.

Man I appreciate that love bro frfr 🫡💯
@@HotshotMacc no sweat bro I get on as much as I can. Been tough on the road as you know it.
Great video sir
Thanks brotha!
Great video. You mentioned you can pickup paper log forms at most truck rest stops. Note if you have to use an ELD, the DOT requires you to carry in your vehicle 8 days worth of blank RODS paper forms, an ELD user manual, instructions on how to transfer data during roadside inspection, and ELD malfunction instructions.
Yes sr. Got all that on deck !!!! Appreciated the info
Thank Tim
Your welcome!

Man thanks! I appreciated, I try my best !
Agree 100%

Great video

Be careful using PC! Just got popped for it in Missouri. Guy was nice enough to let me slide, but you cannot use PC if you are out of time to find a location to park for the night. According to DOT you would be falsifying your logs. Even if you are on a reset and you wanted to move your vehicle to a different spot or even get fuel. You would be in violation, which is ridiculous. Now of course this is subjective, but you get the wrong DOT officer he’s gonna get ya. Btw, saw you last week on the road Mac! Keep killin it man. Love the vids.
PC is used for personal use (going to walmart on the weekend) the term youre looking for is "Safe Haven" when unexpected delays happen it allows you extra drive time in order to find a safe place to park
Can you explain new authority, own authority and leased on.
It’s a bit confusing to me. It seems like if you are new you have to be leased on through someone? If so does this change after a set time of running under them?
Im currently making $850 a week after taxes on a 40 hrs. I have been use to making almost twice as that with over time. But the problem is that it has been slow for the las 6 months. If I get hire on with someone is it possible to average $1300-1800 after all my deductions? Because I called the company’s you work for and some others and all they say is $2500-3000 take home free and if wee do all the deductions like you do that leaves me with a average of $1,150 a week. I just want to make sure that they pay would be worth it for being on the road at least $1,300 minimum weekly. Thank you brother , love your videos and the way you explain you got me engaged and wanting to give it a try keep up the good work.
Thank you bro and sorry for the delay. It really depends on you and how much you decide to work. You can take home anywhere from $1500 to 3k doing non cdl it just depends on you expenses. If you can keep cost down then you will see more of the money. But it definitely has good potential.
🐐💯
🙏🏽
Boi u game!!!!
Appreciate it bro 💯
Great vids, I stumbled upon 1 of ur videos not knowing wht hotshot is. U have inspired me to lose the fear & start something for myself. I'm from HOU but I now live 2 hrs south of. I have so many questions. But I'll ask 1. Leasing on I've heard so many things bout company's not getting good loads or not delivering wht they say. Which company did u lease on too? I seen ur video on how to lease on but I dnt think u mentioned who.
Doesn’t seem to answer any questions relative to videos like mine and yours maybe just ones giving pat on the back ? I’m not sure 🤔
@@garrieparsons2265 seems like it. Kinda sux cause he makes good videos & I'm close to HTX & wanted to get sum info close to the area.... I also follow JBTRUCK'N he also makes good videos & he will try his best to answer all the questions n comments. He has responded to every1 of my comments.
@@RamonGarcia-ix2zc this guy says how much it costs to set up and how much you can earn leased on with this company then doesn’t say who 🤔 so you can check ok he’s legit
I try my best to get to my comments. Ive been very busy trying to provide info and entertainment thru my channel all while being on the road and making a living for my family. Sorry for the delayed response but to answer your question, I was with hotshot107 and I mentioned many times in my videos. You just have to ask questions about the company you are thinking of leasing on to. Just don’t accept the cheap loads they may try to give you. But leasing on is a good way to start and get your feet wet while getting the experience.
Hi my name is Prentiss I was curious about your your login time on your phone would that be considered your electronic login book or is that a separate device how to appreciate if you can let me know about it as soon as you get opportunity and I'm looking forward to seeing the video on the pre-trip I think that's very important for new drivers I hope I get an opportunity to reach out to you when I get started
We have so many questions !!!
A lot of the questions could be answer by watching a lot of my videos, however I also offer consultations. You could the link in my bio.
Hi Kim. Tks for the video.
Which FUEL card do you use for the discount?
Hey bro, I’m using the RTS fuel card. I have a link in the description if you wanna look into it
You will build a system where every load you will be able to plan your stops, know what time is best to hit each city, and where the cheap fuel is on that route. TIME IS MONEY. Be safe see you out there
Easier said than done. Not everyday works as plan! But that’s facts time is money 💰
What is the best ELD device to purchase
My husband and I just started on the road have so many questions about when to change status on the ELD we use the pick up to get to and from where our trailer is parked what status do we use to get to and from the trailer ?
Definitely change status to off duty/personal conveyance to get to and from your trailer. You can also use the not off drop yard move or something like that.
what ELD device are you using ?
Tim thank you for the video. ? Once you finish with your shift so it’s 8hrs in between before you can start the next shift correct?
Most definitely. Once your finished with the shift you have to do a 10hrs reset. 8hrs is just in between breaks.
Can you show a full week of ur ELD on a slide show?
So as soon as you wake up, do you get ready real quick and then get back to driving? Or do you follow a schedule, like you try to be on the road by 9am for example, and if you wake up at 6am then you just kill 3hrs until 9am?
I guess it may depend if you have to have 10hours of rest time so then maybe you woke up too early one day and couldn’t fall back asleep, you might have to just wait?
Question? Do you make more money staying out a month at a time or can you come home every week and still make money? Appreciate you. I follow you on Tiktok and RUclips
I make more staying out vs coming home every week. Appreciate the love and support bro 💪🏽💯
I don’t have the personal conveyance option on my app
How does it work when you have to use the bathroom?
Great video. Keep them wheels rolling. Not making any money sitting still.
That’s right !
Hey this is Tracey Williams I'm new to hotshot with my own authority. I do a 30 min pre-trip. Is 15 min all I really need?
I’m so late but yes 15 is all you need
@hotshotmac can u pre Order your ELD before your ready to drive or do they start charging u the moment u get it ?
Honestly Im not 100% on that. I believe you can order the equipment before hand then activate the service when ready. Ill have to ask the wife but you could just call Motive and ask then what your options are bc things may have changed from the time we purchased.
Hey Tim do you run a CB in your truck ?
I have a handheld but need to get a better one.
Explain the hours of off duty/sleeper birth
We don’t do sleeper birth in hotshot
Tim can you advise if a medical card is needed for non cdl hotshot?
Hey yes a DOT medical card is needed for anyone operating a commercial vehicle. But don’t just go by what I say but also check the FMCSA website and research requirements.
When you say your on the road for 4 months do you go home for the 34 hour reset.. or you reset at a hotel.. ??? 4 month is a long time on the road..
I haven’t been on the road for 4 months straight... lol 4 weeks maybe but depending on where I want to be I sometimes do my 34hr at home.
Looking at getting into trucking and this is hella confusing. When you said it's supposed to pick it up (driving), did you mean it's being tracked by gps of some sort?
It’s connected to the truck so it knows when the goes into drive and then puts the ELD in driving status.
Thanks for this video, I just hit the road last week and will definitely be making some changes to how I'm keeping my logs. Do you have to go in a sign off on the days you don't run as well?
Glad I could help! Yes, I log out of the app. But when I get back on I just log all my drive time as personal conveyance
Can you still use the truck for personal use ? Or once it’s label as hotshot it’s only for work use ?
You can use it for personal use, depending on the commercial insurance and if you add the coverage
Tim ...how long are you straps on you winches ?
They are 30ft. Sorry for the delay
Any requirements with a paper log or does any generic log work?
You have to use an electronic logging device for any commercial vehicle manufactured after 2000.. unless it has an engine that was manufactured before 2000.
www.autoaccident.com/electronic-logging-devices-mandatory.html
@@chrisluellen yes, im pre 2000
How did you learn how to back up with your trailer, that's my biggest worry?
Practice! Over time with repetition it gets easier. Trial and error and just take your time. Don’t let anyone make you feel intimidated.
is the ELD part of the company's policy or is its required for all trucking companies with MCs #, basically what im asking is if I get my own mc # and insurance and start my own business am I responsible for an ELD?
You have to use ELD for any vehicle with an engine that is 2000 or newer if you're driving a commercial vehicle. You can only use paper logs when your ELD quits working and then you have to get it repaired/replaced within a certain time frame.
www.autoaccident.com/electronic-logging-devices-mandatory.html
@@chrisluellen thanks for trying to answer the question but within the first paragraph of the link it says “ The new ELD rule is a requirement from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) of the US Department of Transportation for all commercially licensed drivers required to prepare HOS records of duty status (RODS).” I wouldn’t be commercially licensed if I’m non cdl
Yes all commercial vehicles manufactured after a certain year must have an ELD
Who do you use as ELD love the new truck
Right now I use KeepTruckin but in this video I was using Samsara
@@HotshotMacc I more question who would you prefer? Thx migo
Looks like there's a legal way to avoid the 34hr reset - which involves waiting until Day 9 then reclaiming the hours from Day 1 (since that was over 8 days ago - for a 70/8 cycle).
She explains it at about 6:00 into the video
ruclips.net/video/xjQmSMvBgV8/видео.html
I think for my health, I’ll stick to the 34hr reset lol but thanks for the info for anyone that may want to go that route 🫡💯
@@HotshotMacc I am so jealous of people like you - out there actually DOING stuff. I've been driving a desk for the last 30 years as a software developer making sure your bank account balance on the web is the same everyday no matter what happens. Can you say "YAWN"??
Bought a diesel dually and am considering a wild career change - and found your channel. I love watching you!
You have enough knowledge and experience to start your own "Hotshot Driving School".
Hell, I'd pay a thousand or so to attend!
Keep up the good work.
You and Mila are fun and educational to watch!!!
Who are you leasing on with? I might have $15k to get started I’ve been thinking of doing this for some time .. who would you contact to chat to get started ? Thanks
No reply to my question?????
If you’re watching his content you can see the company in the back window.
I’m was with hotshot107. It’s almost impossible to reply to everyone’s questions. I don’t do RUclips as a full-time job bro
Is that 15 minutes for the truck and the trailer, When I do a pre trip or post trip, I do 15 minutes for each vehicle
I suggest it for both. But it’s at your discretion. It depends on how thorough you want to get but 30 minutes would be eating into my shift.
Another question what hitch you running ?
B&W turnover ball hitch
@@HotshotMacc cool bro and the pj trailer where are some in stock and which one did you get i would like to get a 30+5
What eld you use? Do you still have to go through weigh stations if you’re off duty and no load?
I go through every weigh stations. DOT does not know I am OFF duty.
how long are your straps on your winches ?
30ft
Why are the loads you get, are mostly tarped?
Man I can't find any 32 ft trailers. What do you or the community think about a 25 ft trailer?
Trailers are in high demand right now, new builds taking 3-6 months. I suggest 30 or 40 preferably 40. Order one, buy used and run until the new one is made then sell the used. Good luck.
You either will have to patience or work with have you have access too. Personally I wouldn’t do anything less than 30ft.
What eld you running?
Currently: "Motive" on this video Samsara
Tim , I too, use to "pee in a bottle" ( while driving ) - trust me, doing this WILL NOT make you rich, stop, stretch your legs and walk & hit a restroom, a rest area, a truckstop or a safe place to stop.
About the noting the tasks..... on duty is on duty ( other than noting the V.I. ) working is working - it doesn't matter.
Now we DO need to note when we are being given a D.O.T. inspection.
Legally you can start your day by 15 minutes COMBINING fueling & a V.I.
15 mins loading, 11 hrs driving 15 mins unloading and a V.R.
Long as we don't break the 11 hrs driving
10 hrs break
the 30 minute's break @ 8 hrs.
While staying under 14 hrs
We are safe.
We can run paper logs if we have a 1999 or older truck.
If you're driving home with no load could that be called personal convenience time¿
Technically No.
I just want to know what app your using
This was Samsara
How do you find companies to lease off of ?
Online indeed.com
How many miles you got on your truck?
61K
Say you have 2 drivers in one truck can you drive 22 hours ?
Must have two ELD’s for Team driving
@@HotshotMacc thanks for the reply And information bro - Fort myers Florida
I run my truck on recap 💰💰💰
PC is not for that bro. According to the fmcsa unless it bad weather is the only time you can run over your HOS and it 2hrs..
Glad you did your homework and didn’t just listen to some random guy on RUclips 😁
any other occupation you can work up to 112 hours per 7 day week. why is it capped at 70... that's not even long.
It’s a federal restriction. Driving it’s a dangerous job, specially when you don’t have adequate sleep. It’s a way to control owner operators from fatigued
Yea that is however many pounds and momentum running at 70 mph that's gonna hurt if a driver nodes off.
@@bartman8876 facts!
Have you actually ever listened to def leppard? Or you tryna make a fasion statement?
Lol does it matter? Its a shirt 🤦🏽♂️
Go with split sleeper more miles more money
🤔
Have you had experience of driving truck before you started your own hotshot?
Yes, but not with freight.
How long is your truck bed
Hey bro I did a video about my truck but my bed is 6’4
