No problem man. You’re right though there is a lot to it. 👍
Good Video, you forgot the paper log book sheets enough for 7 - 8 days worth also, in case your ELD goes down. So just keep a little paper log book handy and put in the binder. Unless you are using paper logs already and not ELD.
Nice video. Will subscribe. Thanks
I also have a negative alcohol & Drugs tests and copy of my current drivers license, results. drive safe
Nice video Mizer. All the information every beginner needs to hit the road. Could you please tell me which DOCUMENTS I need to obtain my commercial plate. I have CDL and I also have a RAM 3500 6.7 diesel Dually with the Trailer EZ 4. I just need the plates. I'm confused if I need the 2290 Green Tax. Thanks and congratulations for yours videos
Med card not necessary any more , is link directly to State DOT , if not valid , you licence automatically suspended .Authority in on cloud as well but good to have hard copy .One think you forgot is buckled of logbook in case LED stop working. Great video.
Just saw you coming out of flying j in Kentucky! Drive safe.
Ah man was that you at the light in the Silverado? I figured you were saying hey to a local 🤣 you’re my first official fan sighting!! 👍👍
Yep that was me. I recognized your truck from your videos. Someone stole my gooseneck last week so I was slumming in my old truck and trailer.
CC 3 oh man that’s terrible. Hopefully it gets tracked down I damaged man. Man, I feel for you on that one. 😞
Hey there, thanks for doing this video and sharing it, I’m looking to being a courier although I have a car but thinking about getting a Class II hitch installed or trading my car in for a pickup truck for those who want to utilize my services. Thanks again for the info!! 👍
No problem man! Good luck out there!!👍👍
Dope
The DOT database collects your CDL data and records the currency of your driver's medical for display to the officer roadside. Not so critical anymore to carry the card. But keep your medical current.
Do you need Commercial Insurance if you are running a non-cdl set up with a company being an LLC? Or can you run under regular insurance?
That’s for sure. Dealing with DOT is just part of the business. But make your meeting as Pleasant as possible. I have have many dealings with DOT over the years. Each time I never had a bad experience. As long as I had my stuff together. But I have gotten tickets. But each time I was in the wrong. I’m a ex police officer. So I know your attitude will make it much better.
Arthur Weir that’s just it right there. When you’re wrong you’re wrong. You know it. They know it. Most of my friends are LEOs. Attitude can mean the difference between a violation or OOS. 👍
I like the start-up video, super helpful. Something I've been researching and having a hard time finding any information on would be:
How would a new guy whom is required to maintain ELD and IFTA info manage a vehicle and records if his Hotshot truck was also his daily driver? I have read about personal conveyance time etc, however my dually would also be used for hauling RV, for hunting, family trips and what not. How would an individual properly manage records if this was the case and he could not afford a truck dedicated solely to work as well as personal vehicle?
Thanks for any input👌
When you file IFTA there is a category for “tax exempt” gallons. That is where you would input those amounts. Of course, this will require you to keep track of mileage and fuel purchases separate from work but it’s not too bad once you get used to it. 👍 as far as the ELD goes, just log it as personal conveyance.
when you get a little bit rich, separate transport from personal ride. every time you take that work truck for personal, there could be someone asking a lot of questions.
Thanks for the information. Most of what I knew that we had in binders for our 18 wheelers and pickups in the oil field. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I thought you had to fill out a log book to match your ELD as well, or do you just have to have blank logs incase of ELD problems?
Yeah the paper logs are just backup in case the ELD stops tracking or malfunctions. You don’t run run both 👍
You hand him a binder of all paper work for the vehicle awesome! he hands you a book of summones.
Lol
This is the kind of dumb stuff wannabes like me desperately need to know as we investigate joining the trucking world. Thank you. I watch many, many trucking channels and you are the first to cover this in depth.
Thank you, I try to be as thorough and transparent as possible. 👍👍
Keep a long form physical also.
Current inspection longform trac and trailer.
Some of us are not on eld. Old tractor. Paper logs still.
You don’t need long form physical or inspections in the truck. Short form physical and inspection stickers are all you need over the road. That’s what a driver is to provide and is what is required. Long form paperwork is the “carrier” side.
How soon do u need to get an annual inspection on truck and trailer when u start? And where do u get it done ?
You’ll need to do it before you run a load with it, so basically as soon as you possibly can. Trailer dealerships or repair shops will usually be able to do your trailer. The dealership you buy your truck from can usually do your truck if they have a commercial division, if not a diesel repair shop can. In a pinch most major truck stops with a service department can do both for you.
What kind of dash cam would you recommend?
I would call a roll of TP a neccassary item as well
Absolutely. Won’t help you get through an inspection though lol.
Hi, how are you? Thank you for the great info! We are starting up and we have everything you mention, except for the CDL papers (we are NON-CDL), and the paper logs. We do have our ELD all setup, but we don’t know what you mean by paper logs. Is it the reports we can download from the ELD app all printed out for the past 8 days (which I believe is the timeframe they should ask for)? Or is it something else? If so, how do we get them? Thank you again!
Yes you’ll need your previous 7 days on paper if you’re just starting out but you’re also required to have a paper log book on hand in case the ELD malfunctions. You can pick up a log book at any truck stop, they’re not expensive at all.
Can you do a video on a BOL step by step
I could do that 👍
Great video thanks for the info. I do have a question. If we put 55000 on our apportioned plates, won't that put us in the category for HVU tax?
Anything over will. Plus 60k runs you into KYU territory also.
the authority is good to have. Driver license, ELD , trip inspection current, Cab card represents your permission to enter other states (interstating). its really about taxes. each state gets a little bit of your registration fee dependin on the miles you run in each state. IRP International Registration Program.
International Fuel Tax Agreement IFTA settles out when you buy too much fuel in one state or province for the number of miles, and don't buy enough in another state. That gets settled out, usually by the girls in the office once a month. For every truck for every gallon of fuel that crosses state lines.
IFTA is filed quarterly. There are no gals in the office when you own your company...unless you hire one lol
Always great advice. Thanks. Do you have a need for a printer in your truck if you're hauling cars?
Not nearly as often as freight. It still comes in handy from time to time though.
@@LoadMizer thanks!!
I am a new Hot Shot company driver starting this Sunday for sporadic work. CDL, but never was a trucker before. Do I need to stop at ALL weigh stations when open? I'm reluctant to go out because of the horror DOT Inspection stories, thank you.
Great Content! How much does the cab card cost typically? Thank you
Depends on the state you’re in and the data you base it in. The cab cars is just the apportioned truck registration. To get apportioned, the type of truck, gross weight rating all okay a part in price. Mine was a little over $900 last year.
@@LoadMizer thanks man! Really appreciate that clarification. Stay safe, keep rockin it!!
ok. getting my binder today... great info . I know all sounds obvious to you . but thanks for helping us newbies out man !!
No problem at all! That’s what I do it for 👍👍
In Texas DOT wants to see BOL
If you have a hazmat load, not only do you need the endorsement on your drivers license, you also need proof from your carrier that you completed the appropriate HazMat training.
If I’m doing hotshot will the truck inspection that I get before I renew my registration, or do I need to get the truck and trailer registered together?
Where can I obtain my IFTA stickers and cab card ? Thanks for the info man, very helpful!!!
You’ll receive those from the state when you register 👍
Hey man, can I register for IFTA once I have DOT/MC or do I have to wait the 3 week period before I can apply for IFTA?
Hi does it have to be a binder? Or can I give them a tablet with the photos?
So I have a class but my buddy and I are trying to get in on this hotshot thing and team drive for the time sensitive loads. But I'm confused do we run paper logs or ELD? I'm assuming it's similar to semi truck otr
Good info brother. How about make a video telling how many hours that you are allowed to run a day and do y’all have to take breaks or lunch breaks and if you do have to take them do they have to be at a certain amount of time from start time for the day. How long after end of day do you have to wait before you can start a new day. Things like that brother. You may have done one but I myself have not found one on. RUclips
Yessir that’d be a basic hours of service video. I could definitely break that down. It didn’t even hit me till I just read this that the people jumping into non-CDL won’t be going through a driving school or anything. I’ll work on that, thank you for the suggestion! 🙌👍
Load Mizer good deal brother
I second this motion!
You could be a great broadcaster with your vocal.
Haha I’d if it pays the bills I’ll look into it 🤣
Also spare fuses, triangles, and fire extinguisher
This is paperwork you must have.
A lease a truck from enterprise it not come with comercial plates, I will have problem ?
