    Well to be fair as a current semi truck driver, former police officer I have seen quite a few crappy hot shot rigs. To be fair you guys look like you run a top notch operation. DOT is right to target hot shots it's alot more obtainable then running a semi o/p since you can get an old dodge for under 10k and a trailer for 6k. Also keep in mind a vast majority probably don't have a cdl. Props to you guys on the CDL's
    Everything else guys you are right on point. If a company gives you a truck respect it and take care of it. Take pride in the truck, yeah she's gonna get dirty and may get a few dings she's a work horse but do your best.

      Come on Bass Casting, Everyone knows Officers set up where they know they will get some tickets. That goes for any type of officer. They target the Hot Shotters because they are pretty sure they will find something and throw in the fact they are probably trying to frustrate them and run them out. Watching this video by these 2 guys makes me feel good about going into hot shotting because its much more affordable than getting a rig set up but on the flip side it makes me concerned about the DOT because number one, the tickets and the money lost present and future. throw in the fact I might be very TRUTHFUL to them if you know what I mean

    I think right at the end of the video you summed it up perfectly. So many people think its like a get rich quick scheme and its not. Yes you can make significantly more money than your average 9-5job or what have you, but at the end if the day you are making a decent living and have a freedom that you didn't have before. Love the content you guys put out, keep up the great work. Stay humble and drive safe✌❤

I’m currently looking into becoming an a Owner Operator to do Hot Shot for myself. I watched the video with your dad & the 3 options for doing Hot Shot. With that being said would the safe & smartest option for someone new to the business be to go in with my own pick up & trailer to work for someone else until I fully grasp what’s needed before I attempt to go out on my own?

But I am getting tired of getting sprayed with raw sewage every day. I have worked the dock for YRC, and XPO Logistics, and have my Class A CDL’s, are you taking on any new drivers? I am looking to take a small business loan out to get started so I can get a used truck, and used trailer with mega ramps so I can haul freight, and vehicles. I would appreciate your opinion on this, and if your taking on new drivers.

    Iron Bull and Diamond C trailers are the best in the game. Ford trucks are also the way to go, just so you know. Very easy on fuel, that F450 is a beast. 19.5 tires from the factory, 37k towing. The only thing I’d say is recalibrate the transmission at 65-70k.

    Been in law enforcement for 29 years and DOT does the most profiling of any branches. Its a shame yall dont have a national hotshot lobby outfit to fight the profiling of hotshots. Damn yall have video evidence and all they have to check is the ratio of 18 wheelers to hotshots.

    I'm new, but you're right, rates are shit, no one will even negotiate as someone else will come along and take it, if not even bid less
