    Great vid as always! For the people in the comments saying it’s slow or no work, Tim and his wife along with many others have shared KEY info on how to get work if you’re O/O… direct customers. While you’re sitting around waiting or not doing anything, go b2b and let them know you’re available and offer them your services and ask them to give you a chance and see how things go.

    Completely agree, it’s ok to take a cheap load only if we have an emergency and need to get back home but there should be a limit on how low you willing to charge. Taking cheap loads eventually will affect us all.

    Macc, you know I appreciate all your videos. I'll take cheap if it takes me out of a dead area.
    I rather have gas money covered to get out of a area, than digging into my pockets $400-$500 or more to get back to a good area.
    My question is why don't you like taken loads 10 feet high?

    Everyone needs to do that. That will help tell the brokers stop with all the bull shit rates. Lot of people don’t realize the truth on what you guys sacrifice being on the road. You can see it in your girl. She was like f this. It takes a lot out of you to do this than on top of cheap rates and truck problems. That’s why people need to ask for more money for these runs. I am starting to wonder how much these brokers really make off each run. Drivers need to make way more than the broker.

    Hey brother as someone with a cdl a with tanker, a 10+ year mechanic that can do my own dots, and have tarps, straps and corner covers would it be wise to jump in as hotshot or try doing my own rig with flat bed ? I live in North Dakota but Noone really gives any info up here because people hate giving out info because it takes money out of their pocket.

    • @HotshotMacc
      @HotshotMacc  Год назад

      Man that’s tough sometimes. Like I tell everyone, it depends on you, where your located, your plan, team, relationships, capital, and credit. There will never be a right time and I don’t think I would tell someone not right now. Maybe if you didn’t have a cdl I would say reconsider. We are in tougher times right now but that doesn’t mean its impossible, the risk is just higher. Having your tanker, hazmat end. will give you an advantage. North Dakota is challenging for freight but if your willing to hit the Midwest at first while you build the business and relationships where you are, anything is possible. Just know it all has its ups and downs 🙏🏽🫡💯

      I have one. I get rates like a semi. Never under $3 even with this market. You can do 3 partials lol with the load Macc had. So imagine the rate per mile he would’ve had. Its all down to personal preference on set up. I didn’t want a semi so got a 5500 & 53 Step Deck. I get the same rate and I get better Fuel mileage. Now if You want more space to sleep etc, a smoother ride for the tractor and don’t mind a Semi, you can go Semi with a Fontaine. It all comes down to your plan, goals, and budget. Go with what works for you and What you decide at the end. You will be the one driving and paying the debt either way at the end. Hope this helps

    • @dustinmoore1559
      @dustinmoore1559 Год назад

      Blue Def freezes up north especially in ND it always best to use clear. Once you turn your unit off if it works properly your def should be pushed back into the tank. Even with all that said as a mechanic blue Def is a nightmare for mechanics either busted lines or pump from freezing.
