Made about 120 dollars an hour if I calculated correctly. But that is assuming he doesn't have to deadhead back. Correct my math if I am wrong. Prob gets 10 mpg. 287 mile trip /10 mpg = 28.7 Gallons 28.7 Gallons x $3.50 = $100.45 in fuel Estimated $50 dollars for maintenance for trip 750 profit - 150 for expenses = $600 take home @ 60 mph / 287 miles = 4.8 hours driving rounded to 5 hours 600 / 5 hours = $120 an hour. If you deadhead back cut that in half to $60 an hour. This doesn't account for medical insurance, loans, 401k, taxes, etc. Considering hauling is one of the most dangerous jobs in world. You don't have static times you get home, and you're always fighting to find your next load? I have tremendous respect for haulers, but it definitely is not for me. At the end of the day, You're probably making around 30 dollars an hour? Again, someone correct me if I am wrong.

Best tarp job I’ve seen so far!
I just started I love driving left my sales job for it and been great 20 years old traveling all over the east right now
Hi can you coach me how to do this job? Any chance I can get hold of you? Thanks
Thanks buddy
Good stuff 👌🏽
Did one yesterday from Birmingham to Athens roughly 250 miles for 825$ but they were shipping containers so the gas mileage was crap.
What message board do you use? I’ve been using you ship, but I don’t have a hotshot truck trailer.
What’s the name of that tarp

U had a lot more room for more freight
Ya I sure could spent the day or a day and a half looking for more frieght. Or I could be home that day for dinner.
What load board do you use?
How do you go to IN with the bed of your truck? Or is it just the ram that you have to take the bed off
I'm under length well actually literally exactly at it.
How often do you get that high of a dollar per mile bid?
(Just a broke kid thinking about selling his belongings for a rig)
My average on all miles at 40,000 miles is $1.87 the industry is down right now so that numerous is a pretty low average.
does the company load and unload everything by themselves every time, or do you have to help sometimes?
Shipper loads. I secure.
Nice you made 500 bucks
How much will cost you for a Commercial insurance . If you can tell
Cost me 12,800 last year and on the 17th of this month if I renew will be 13,400. 21yrs cdl never an accident or moving violation.
I need your help brother
How do I get started with my pickup and flatbed ?

I have a cdl 20yrs.
How much does one of them trailer cost
About 20k new
How do you get loads im trying to get into hotshots but I’m still trying to figure it out can someone please let me know
Loadboards. Dat, truckstop.com
Thanks sir definitely appreciate it
Net profit about $600 in 7 hours(driving plus tarping and loading/unloading)? It's not easy money! Driving such a rig takes skills and experience.
I have 23 yrs
Not worth the distance in my opinion 😒
What can truck exactly is that
2022 f350 super cab dually.
How much is that load?
How much money? It's says in the video. If you mean weight I think it was like 12 or 14 thousand pounds.
How do I start this business?
That’s what I’m wondering 🤔

One of my first videos will answer your question.
$100 an hour after fuel
More like $140.00 an hr after fuel. I drive 60mph, I paid $3.84 per gallon, and my average mpg is 13.25
@@X-American why not drive atleast 65? Is it for the fuel economy 13.25 mpg is pretty good even for diesel.
@ethanelectric1024 differnce between 60 and 65 is about .6mpg and I'm in no hurry.
I'm looking to get into the business. How much should I charge a mile?
As much as you can. There is no way to answer that any other way. I know my numbers. I don't know yours.
What happened to raindogs
I have trucks leased to them.
What size tarps are you using?
I carry 6ft drops
