    Who says hotshot doesn't pay! Glad you two got to meet...most people who travel for a living go from location to location where most everyone are strangers. Makes your day when you can meet up with someone who shares your experiences. Keep on trucking and stay safe!

    Great video, big fan of both of you guys, glad you guys met and I was just wondering do you come to Florida often? Do you think running cars in and out of Florida is a good thing?

    • @LoadMizer
      @LoadMizer  3 года назад

      I’ve looked at Florida several times but to me it just seems saturated with drivers. The rates coming in there are decent but going out they’re not that great. I think Florida would be fine to run cars out of if you can establish some direct connections with dealerships. Or if you don’t mind dealing with the port in Jacksonville.

      @@LoadMizer Thanks for the info, I’m currently running freight but considering running cars to keep me closer to home, freight doesn’t allow me to do that out of Florida

      Freight is just a wildcard down in Florida. Seems like the ohhhh boy things that are consistent pay horrible.

    I live in Nebraska right outside of Omaha not to far from council bluffs Iowa. How good do you think the car market is in the Midwest area. Wanting to get into hotshot trucking but not sure if I should do freight or cars.

    haha i have no patience either! do you need a different type of insurance when transporting cars? greetings to the family

      Somewhat, you just need to be listed as a car carrier exclusively instead of general freight.

    I spent 3 hours at car max trying to find keys and the cars. Broker kept saying the cars are there, finally got a call the guy said are you picking up for so and so I said yes he said I’m a independent buyer the cars are behind McDonald’s keys are in locker #21 here’s the code. Hate going to auctions or Car max. Adesa Phoenix is terrible

    • @LoadMizer
      @LoadMizer  3 года назад

      I got the whole 10-15 minutes run around yesterday morning. After an hour and a half they finally started bringing the cars around. Picking up at car-max is a joke. Delivering is pretty easy though.
