That's awesome Alex, especially heading to Miami!!! I know 2 ladies that will be happy to see dad!!! You definitely earned the donuts this week. I'm home until Monday, then it's back to work!!! The decent loads are out there, we just have to be creative and willing to work outside the box. Be safe bro!
Thank you David!🙏 I’m home until Monday as well and back on the road after. Really hard to get out of Miami though. Unfortunately. The ladies were definitely happy to see me and I’m still trying to enjoy the weekend that I’m home. Then back on the road for at least a month. The loads are definitely out there. We just have to be in the right place at the right time and yes, sometimes think outside the box on how to stack and pack it all on the trailer😁
I went to same doughnut shop awsome treats 😋😋😋I’m from Tennessee would like to do hotshots so much knowledge on book work rules etc the driving is the easy part right. I’ve been watching hotshot channels for quite some time now . Your very chilled and show no stress in the game your numbers are good also carry on trucking buddy 👏👌🤛🏻🍕
Thank you! Yea you are correct. More book work knowledge and driving is the easy part. I have enough stress with my job, I try not to show it in the videos 😂
If you’re ever traveling on highway 97 in LaPine in Central Oregon. There’s a place inside Wikiup Junction store that has the best donuts in Central Oregon 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Hey good to see u again Alex, does numbers are excellent man keep printing, im just waiting for my truck to be ready got a hit and run 🤬🤬🤬 but everything ok can wait to hit the road loads are getting better by the mile, be safe my friend.
I thought about getting into the hotshot business. Could you make a list of things you need for a flatbed gooseneck trailer. Like chains, straps, blinders,etc. Thank you.
I’m not sure if I understand the question correctly but in my left corner on the dash I have my tpms sensor monitor for the trailer tires. The iPad Inuse for ELD, weigh station app and a second map just in case.
I had a buddy that had the same truck and hauled hot rods in a closed trailer all over the US. The problem was he put 400,000 miles on the truck before it was half payed off.
Alex, I admire watching your videos. I wish you would put a little bit more driving instead the donuts because I’m already FF and seeing the donut really doesn’t help lol. I’d rather hear the engine and that exhaust break but other than that great job. Looking forward to see another video from you soon. 👍.
@@MilanPalushaj-uh3df Thank you! I appreciate your support. I’m trying to break the videos up now into half weeks of my loads but it’s kind of hard to work, record, edit and upload. It all takes time.
@@user-ft8lu5iy9o I prefer to just stick with the gross income vs net profit. Net is also kinda personal. No one really needs to know all my expenses. That’s kinda like telling everyone how much is in my bank account.
Thanks again for sharing your travels and experiences. even if we become addicted to donuts. hahahah!!! It was a great week and I hope you have a great rest. a question. How do you do it with your trailer when you go out there? maybe a video of that experience!
@@yiyoblack I just unhook it at the truck stop. I put my lock on my kingpin so no one can hook it to their truck and also I take the handle that lifts the trailer off. I think I show it in a few of my videos.
Great videos, and I appreciate you sharing! Can you please provide info on how you use your ELD and how it all works if you unhook your trailer and leave in the truck to eat, gym etc. Im looking into hotshot, non-cdl at first. Got my truck already, looking to llc and establish authority. But I want to verify I can still have an okay way of life rather then peeing in a bottle like some guys do. 😂 If there is an easier way to get questions across please let me know how to contact.

@Mr.AlexKogan excess sugar not used for energy is stored as fat. This leads to weight gain and further insulin resistance. This results in type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and other metabolic abnormalities.
@@JaissonTatto I understand all of that. I eat donuts on my most active day. I’m also in the gym that day. Donuts are my cheat day meal and that’s it. I do it once a week. Also to correct you, it’s not excess sugar that’s stored if not used, it’s excess calories in general. I’m in a calorie deficit throughout the week so ai can afford to eat donuts and not gain weight.
I’m gonna get into this business just for the donuts. 😂 When the dispatcher sends me anywhere they’ll need to make sure there is a donut shop close by or on the way. Otherwise not gonna do it! Even if it paid $3 a mile. 🤣
Hey Alex, newer subscriber here. I’ve seen you have trouble getting out of Denver so would you recommend getting into the hotshot business if I’m from Denver 😂 already have my cdl too
Hey, thanks for subscribing! Denver is a harder area to get loads from but they are still available. Just depends how lucky you get and if you can be the first to call the broker when a load pops up on the board. People speed dial and it’s always hard to be the first one to call and grab the old. Don’t let that scare you from getting into the business
Hi Alex , great video and must say ''fair dues'' to you for answering all the questions coming hard and fast, just 2 personal questions, firstly how is your health, i notice some times on answering questions you stop to drag( we say drag, as in pull in deep breath) your breath, you do serious miles on some of them journeys, so hows the health. my second is probably unfair but with 5 adult children i can ask these, family life Alex, all that driving is hard going, I just ask ''mind that health'', and again fair dues for helping others get started🛻🛻🛻Liam in IRELAND
I do worry about it, sure. No one will take it off the trailer while I’m gone because it’s kinda hard without a forklift and I lock my trailer up so no one can hook it.
nice job. are you en CDL or not? can you tell me if it has the particulars feeding for NON CDL. can you help me how to beginning this business. i’m creating my LLC. help me with others importantly informations you can. with truck 350, trailer models, papers, feedings… your despatcher please. how many weeks you stay before coming home?
I’m CDL. CDL will always be better because you have more options for loads since you’re not limited to certain weight. As for starting your business I can tell you the steps but really can’t help with much else. 1. Buy truck and trailer. 2. Register your LLC business with your state. 3. Apply for DOT number 4. Get commercial insurance ( truck/trailer) 5. Apply for Authirity with FMCSA If you google this, you can get much more detailed info.
@@Mr.AlexKogan Okay sweet. I’ve seen some non cdl trailers that were under 16k gvwr that were 40’ but I figured yours was heavy duty. Keep up the hard work man!
Thanks Johnny! I had that recall done a while back. This time it’s an emissions sensor that went on to the exhaust. It was missing when I bought the truck. Maybe they had a shortage at that time so they decided not to install them. lol.
After my business is operating with all licenses, is it very difficult to get a deapatcher to release the loads for transport because it is a new business and I don't have a CDL?
@@dom_22612 If you are asking if it’s harder to get loads for a new company, yes it typically is harder but you may get lucky and not have a difficult time. For me I was able to get loads fairly easy but plenty brokers turned me down too.
I have my cdl and I would like to get into hot shot I don’t have no experience how do I make my first move? Am looking forward for your response thank you
Hey! My trailer is 40 foot length. 25,900 gvwr. Weighs 10,100 lb. Load capacity is 15,800 lb but with all my decrement equipment and tarps on the trailer I can put maximum of 15,000 lb on it. I try to never max it out though unless I really have to.
@@Mr.AlexKogan ok understand. I’m just trying to understand if it’s worth the career change for me. Looks like there’s lots overhead involved. I made over 100k last year in telecom, but getting tired of it after 20+ yrs.
Usually I’m home one week a month. That’s the way trucking goes. If you want to make money you have to be on the road, otherwise it’s not worth doing this job.
If you are referring to what steps to take to start then buy truck and trailer, register company, apply for DOT, purchase commercial insurance, apply for authority.
Gross means nothing? Really? In my books, the higher the gross the higher the net. You might wanna rethink what you wrote. Let’s just say I kept at least 75% of that. 👍🏻
It’s never the same. It all depends on the loads and areas where you drive. If you have tall loads you spend more on fuel and if you’re out west in the mountains, you’ll spend more as well so really hard to answer that question. Maybe $1-1.5k a week if it’s a good week. Plus diesel prices are different in different parts of the country. Texas is under $4 a gallon vs California over $6 a gallon.
I don’t have to prove anything to anyone but I have showed my rate confirmations in one of my previous videos because for some reason viewers like you think people always lie. Here you go. ruclips.net/video/nxnI8Z5PhDA/видео.htmlsi=cOwEBM4xEln0WpyP

How many days a month do you sleep in your own bed? The money seems great but are you ever home to enjoy it?
Usually I’m home one week a month. That’s the way trucking goes. If you want to make money you have to be on the road, otherwise it’s not worth doing this job.
I tried driving for one month and only making $0.45 a mile ,dang I need to go to a better owner lol
Well if you are working for someone right now, it’s tough because you’re only getting a fraction of the income.

Alex, what are your total expenses on the $11,825?
Honestly I don’t count my expenses by the week since I pay my bills monthly and I try to keep that info out of the videos.
How much do you normally spend on gas?
It’s never the same. It all depends on the loads and areas where you drive. If you have tall loads you spend more on fuel and if you’re out west in the mountains, you’ll spend more as well so really hard to answer that question. Maybe $1-1.5k a week if it’s a good week.

How do you find loads to haul?
I use a dispatcher. You can also use a load board to find loads.
Is your dispatcher willing to take on another?? I have RAM 5500 and 53 diamond c stepdeck with air ride and lift axle
Who do you factor with?
RTS financial
would be nice if you drop some PODs to prove that you make 11k
I don’t have to prove anything to anyone but I have showed my rate confirmations in one of my previous videos because for some reason viewers like you think people always lie. Here you go.

haha i clicked on this thinking a hotshot dropped into forest fires to fight them... didn't realize you were a mini amazon delivery guy
Do you have CDL?
Yes
So what was your net after expenses 6k
I don’t count my net by the week because my expenses are monthly. It was definitely way higher than 6k
Hi Alex,
I’m looking for a dispatch company,any way you can help me?
@@HoolioJean-wn3hf Hello! Unfortunately I don’t give my dispatch info out and I don’t know of any company that I can recommend. I think googling dispatch companies would be your best bet.
Who do you go through to get you jobs?
I have a dispatcher. Plus I look on Truckstop load board.
Man, time away from your family is not worth any money. Figure it out
Hope you got a load out of Florida.
I did but not a great one. 🤷♂️
