Cheap rates? The "industry" has been dead for over 40 years now. Go ahead, buy a big truck. The only thing that's going to change is the amount of zero's on the end of your numbers. Larger expenses, less places to park. more restrictions, (low bridges and weight restrictions) and the same cheap rates. I sold my truck in 1987 and never looked back. My insurance was $1200 a year, fuel was $1.00 a gallon, and my payments were $1130 a month on a 3 year old large car with big power financed for 3 years. I was pulling for $1.30 a mile average leased on with a company that paid my health insurance in full, paid my road taxes, tags and provided the trailer. Less traffic, more places to park, 45 or 48 foot trailers, and paper logs. Back then, the USA actually manufactured products, so I never waited to get a load. I remember times loading at 3 am because factories ran 24/7. Dead heading over 50 miles was rare. Back then hardly anyone cared where you parked, and the only truck stops I remember that charged to park was the Union 76 and the TA in Ontario Ca. Lots of Mom and Pop operations and the truck stops for the most part, all had decent restaurants.
When you decide to get out of it, there will be thousands to take your place with the same stories. The only thing that keeps people in this business is the lure of big money. That one load you got a year ago that paid $5.00 a mile, with hopes you will get another soon.
I wish you luck.
It is those people who take those cheap loads that still do not get ahead. Wishing you and Lita all the best. Record every inspection, put cameras on your truck so you can see everything he is doing. Protect yourself
DOT seem more interested in hotshots rather than us semi trucks
Yep, because the inspection is easier.
@@bon2198 yep its all about easier. and not "safer"
@@SouthGeorgiaHotShot definitely. And like you, the crap I see out there flappin in the wind. Literally.
I’m a cdl hotshot and don’t ever get pulled in. and I go through scales daily.
I feel like they pick on non cdl guys.
@@joebrings5817 yeah im non cdl but i opperate in the north east. We really dont have these money grab weigh stations here. Knock on wood ive been lucky. Only time i get stopped is rolling through inspection stations and those i am 25/75. I went threw 2 up near Massena New York in 1 day, they all looked at me and watch me roll through but nobody stopped me. I deffinitly think the you tube channel and his name all bignin the back window play a part in that. Cops are not stupid and im sure they watch these videos too. Hey i watch cop channels to get the scoop on how they opperate so i know how to avoid them lol
I feel you on the inspections my friend, been there and done that and got rid of the semi but we were only using it to farm, bless you over the road guys. Take care and have a blessed day.
You're exactly right. Rookies taking cheap freight just to be have something on the trailer. I parked mine and bought a Freightliner
Thank God there's no cheap loads with freightliner haha
How’s it going bro?
@@hamzic30 lol
It’s going to be hard when you first get that CDL without experience with a CDL and rates aren’t any better
Do what I did, go to a salvage yard get 4, 16 inch wheels off a pickup non metric pattern, usually 97 down ford 7 years later still going everyday & being abused hard.
If people would stop running cheap freight they would have no choice but to bump up the price. I feel your frustration, it’s ridiculous
On your intermittent lights slather on di-electric grease on bulb sockets and main wiring harness connectors. Fixes the problem 100% of the time.Good stuff.
Can you use crimped fittings too? Just leave a little slack zip-tied for future splices?
@@JC-uq5gi I personally hate crimped fittings.There is a new type of solder fitting that also has heat shrink on it. Melts with a cig lighter. Easy to use and a permanent splice.Amazon and most any auto parts big box store.
@@amossnowdaharleyman9179 sounds cool. I'll have to look into it too.
Been watching the other channel Hillsides & Hot shots it's getting better !
Thanks Michael!
These rates are shit I am seeing loads go for 50 cents mile I dunno what to do I can't pay bills on that these folks are killing it
I miss the DJT intro and him too 😢
There is nylon bushings that go into the leaf spring where the bolts go trough. That help to stop wear on the bolts and spring
Welcome to India, the competition is going to financially break most people
I been off the road a few months now getting ready to run under my own authority and man I do not miss the level 1s at all . I’m also going back to a semi sleeper truck I found myself averaging less sleep at night and just not enjoying camping in a dually for the 10hr reset so I’m gonna start back hauling vans with a semi and that way I can pull over and be good anywhere . I found that dually to have flaws and they also tear up to dam much for me even the brand new ones . I see some big hotshot ballers get hotels but Im not comfortable doing that either I don’t care how good the freight pays I’m trying to take all mine home so hotels are no good . I plan to use a used sleeper semi to run my operation .
You were very polite to the DOT Officer!
I always am :)
Love the way we enter and leave your lives Robert and Lita, you once explained these are not closed episodes, rather they are snapshots (wrong word, can't think of a better one) of your life on the road.
I'm looking fwd to Spring you're still looking fwd to Christmas 😂🇬🇧.
Are you trying to say they are glimpses of his life on the road 🤣
In my clumsy way that's exactly what I was trying to say, cheers. 😂🇬🇧
Imagine how hard it is working for a living, scrounging up loads, and riding herd on a house and kids, all while not being home for weeks at a time...AND putting out videos of it all.
They are doing awesome. Great editing, great footage. He said he's trying very hard to get caught up, but just imagine how hard it is to do this.
@@JC-uq5gi I'm behind the two of them all the way, no criticism from me, just in awe of what they do on the two channels. I think Robert said he'd contemplated jumping ahead but he'd decided his footage in storage was too good to pass up. I think his loyal followers agree. 🇬🇧😂
@@750VFR 👍
Getting a used semi and trailer might be a good option.
Why is your truck always a mess inside?
because it's never clean
Nys dot said they target different people every week. He said they will go hard and heavy on landscapers for a couple days, then they will do box trucks for a few days, then 18 wheelers... Etc
I am looking for a heater like that. What is the make model and price and where to get one
The dot isn't worried about safety they're worried about making that quota as easily as possible. Just my opinion
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh no, no, no, no, no...
🤣 Awesome audio clip guys.
Robert, does that heater plug into a cigarette lighter or a 110 drop straight from your generator? Where did you get it? Thanks. Enjoyed the video as always.
Robert if the GMC has the 5.3 LS motor in it that's a good Motor!! I've had 4 of those LS motors in trucks and Tahoe's and everyone has run over 150K with 0 problems. I have a 2016 Tahoe now with 85.000 on it and it runs great. Take Care Be Safe>>Hello Lita (:
I have a 5.7 ltr. in a 95 that had 260k, still ran strong before I swapped it out. Only 10k on the new 5.7. Whipple supercharger has it up to 330 hp. 👍 GMC/CHEVY makes awesome vehicles.
I rather ask for forgiveness then permission
Nice job with the new intro graphics.
Don't ever volunteer 14 days of logs
A ticket is a ticket and it's much easier to pick on the hotshotter then the big guys.
Be careful out there
You can make a lot of extra money if you want especially when you’re all over the country and has random chances to look 👀 while you’re parked
Look at that beautiful F-150 green over the gray don't appear to have a spot of rust on it. So what is the make of that heater and where does one find one of those keep up the good work on the channel I just checked out the other channel can't wait for more videos👍🇺🇸🤣
I pull stepdeck and these people hauling stuff for nothing are killing my side to. I don't understand how they even make it and all they're doing is putting other people out of business to. Sad shit
I recognize a Georgia weigh station when I see one.. That sucks..
Them there's what ya call rich folk.🤣 🤣 🤣
What kind of window blackouts are those?
Weather tech makes them
Ha! Good ending.
Justice is blind and so is the DOT. lol
How much does the trailer weigh?
That cops a jerk for giving you a violation for the light out when you got it working in front of him.
Man if you don’t want the burden of owning your own semi but want to still make good money, get with a private fleet that hauls their own freight. And if it’s HazMat it’s even better.
He knew before you even pulled up he was going to give you a violation regardless. I hate that man
You know they hate hot shots more than super truckers like me
I dont think its a hate thing. It's a "I have to do X amount of inspections. And since i'm lazy I'll just do easy hotshots"
yeah get your CDL and a truck!!! I do very well for my self pulling 53ft dry van I make $3,000 to $4,000 a week net in the bank 👍👍👍
You need to get up in the lanes Yousiff is running. He seems to be running pretty consistent.
Sgh is non cdl in a f250. Slim pickings . Yousiff is plated at 40k. Makes a huge diff being able to load up to 20k lbs on ur trailer .
@@joebrings5817 or overload 20k lbs lol
@@STEVEN-hv7ds lol yep. It gets close w 20k on the trailer but it’s doable . Legally
@@joebrings5817 people do know on a tandem 12k axle 40 ft trailer that weighs almost 10k lbs empty really is rated for a 14k load. I guess that's why I get 3yrs out of disc brake pads . But hey to each his own. Stay safe
@@STEVEN-hv7ds that is true. my diamond c weights 9000lbs . Has about 5k lbs on the axles . So if load 2k lbs over my rear axle of my truck I can make it work , but it’s close.
Dude that load to Texas.. You add a truck, car or suv to that load. That was a low load that weighed 450lbs paying $1.50.. You made $1,5k on that or so but you could have added another $800-1k. You get on Central and book a .50-80/mile Truck/SUV or van and park it right on top of it. Now you are making $2+/mile. I've survived through these shit rates and pandemic mixing and matching.. You can't expect to get $2+ for a single load in hotshot you have to piece together the small loads. The easiest way is to book a good freight load then add a car going to the same area..
What's up
I just deadheaded home 1300 miles cause shit under $1 told dispatch if you can't fill the trailer then ill just deadhead
Get you a semi truck and start hauling gran
2nd Asparagus
Man I hate that for you. That is a crock of bull on that side marker.
You need to go to bass pro get ya some electric draws it looks like a mans 1z
is this a real thing?
That must been the Grovetown Ga scale?
I believe you're correct. Not %100 though. Good eye
Looks like a race hauler in front of you
Get a PrePass Bro, avoid those scales. I know you're a cheap battery, but the juice is worth the squeeze for the PrePass.
We run pre-pass and driveways. Both of which georgia doesn't use lol
Did he show you the log that's not certified?
nope. I even showed him on my app that it said all logs certified
@@SouthGeorgiaHotShot does your app allow you to send the same logs to yourself. That way you can see what he saw. I would also contact the ELD company and ask them to explain this to you.
Semi is tho only way to go and the ones taking cheap loans will learn on their first big breakdown
Dec 7th, a date that will live in infamy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get inspected maybe 2-3 times a year!!! I don’t understand why they nail you hotshots so much???
Because the industry is full of people trying to get by illegally.
Because there are so many new drivers now that jumped into this thinking they were going to get rich and have no idea what they are doing and don't think the rules apply to them. It just made it hard on everyone else.
if they want to find something they will, a overfull fuel tank can do it cause its rated at 95% its on the tag on the tank, those bolts what grade were they and are they greaseable anything dry will wear and if the bushings are real hard could cause more wear just something to think about
5 @20’ pipes 1.50 mile? Hope you find 3 more partials similar weight/rate. ;). Good thing blocking the scale. Nobody else is getting bothered. I wonder if you mentioning home made trailer got you flagged. So they waste your time. They were so happy when they caught TP 40 lbs overweight. I was hauling grain from the field @14 miles to elevator. Every load @70k. But 1. The last one. No scale on truck, trailer...
Are you still moving?????
Hi
You should buy a 24' trailer movie or smalle loads Good luck buddy
A smaller load
beware of the new rules regarding your engines. if you just go with a glider kit and have your own motor that is below the yrs for the emission's you can have that motor installed and are legal by law. but if that motor blows, you can stay with a pre emission motor or go with a new one BUT your locked into that new law, that you must stay with the emission engines.
Hotshots are inspected more because there is a lot of fly by night hotshots. They don`t run legal they give the rest of us a bad reputation. But I can see my problem I deadhead rather putting cheap freight on my trailer and risking an insurance claim. Yes I know they could be an accident deadheading but there is no freight to pay for.
getting your cdl wont make you anymore money big trucks cost more to maintain tires are twice the price big truck uses more gas and big truck harder to park !!
Get the Semi!!!!! you'll be busier! and have more cash in pocket!! get Hazmat and TWIC, they will pay for themselves in a year...
People doing loads to make 100 bucks. I don't get that. Anyway drive safe u 2.
I hate to keep saying it and it's really sad but the trucking industry is going in the shit tank.
Seen on a regular basis driver's living in there truck working for living money and that's it. Paycheck to paycheck.
Eating subway and pilot pizza.
that back tyre, on your right in frame 2:11/22:33. looks all torn up with a hole tore out of it.?👈😒👺👀👀🤙🏻
Dudes straps are loose.
Why don’t you have a CDL. Why are you messing with these crap loads. Step up dude.
New channel???
yep our homestead channel
Robert, would your load opportunities open up more if you had a CDL? What’s a safe cut off when it comes to taking lesser paying freight? I’m not in the business yet but have to admit if I’d been on the road a while and wanted to go home, I’d be inclined to take “cheap” freight to hopefully lessen my expenses of getting where I wanted to go. At the same time, I’d not want to mess up the rates on a larger scale. What’s a safe rate per mile for CDL and non CDL?
a cdl with the proper equipment would absolutely open up more. I don't think there is a correct answer on whats a safe cut off. When I first started I figured 1.50 was a good cut off. But quickly realized it wasn't enough. And that even if your expenses are less then other. You shouldn't destroy the market.
Dude light weight like that just roll on past they know your youtube famous lol ✌🏼
haha
A $1.00 per mile is a money losing proposition...
Another guy would say $0/mile is also a losing money proposition...
Hey man Whatever happened to Apex Is he dead or alive Thought you might have heard
Take your truck through a blue beacon $18 and you don't have to do anything but pay and stand there.
damn is it that cheap? someone told me it was $75
@@vegaslimoguy2376 pickup only dummy, why wash a flat bed trailer...I have my Ford Transit High Top van washed at blue beacons all the time $18 plus tax.
@@SouthGeorgiaHotShot That is the price for your pickup truck only, not trailer.
DOT ever sign the trailer??
I should make them! lol
Under this new administration fuel prices will seriously increase and loads will decrease because prices will increase and people will not do as much buying so make some wise choices soon and DO NOT go into debt. Bad times are ahead.
They're jacking fuel up already. We're in for it for sure.
@@Itsa_Mea we are seeing just the beginning of very difficult times.
@@JohnSmith-ug5ci hope we're both wrong but I hear you. 🍻 Here's to the next 4.
To all: remember that the economy goes in cycles. All economic growth comes to an end and then there is a time for economic decline. Fortunately economic growth last longer then economic declines. Half the country will blame Biden for a possible worsening recession in the coming months or year. Recessions don’t happen overnight, they take months in the making. Unfortunately the recession started on Trumps watch with COVID outbreak.
@@johnfrank6083 your claims are false. Clearly you are a democrat.
It s because of big hotshot you tubers making it seem likes it’s the easiest 200grand a year job so everyone is starting to do it. A truck and trailer are cheap
They inspect hot shotters because there are so many ignoring rules and regs. Run with stray dogs and you'll get fleas......Look at most any other youtube channel with hot shotters(except very few) and you'll see them posting assorted ways to dodge the rules or out right violate the laws.Low end class 8 drivers do the same BS.Run legal,stop trying to cheat the system,be a responsible driver and life is good even if you run with stray dogs.Pain in the keister but all part of it.
There are just as many Big Brothers ignoring the same rules. You can look on you tube and find just as many. Light tickets are a joke on big or little trailers. They go out just for fun. I had a job in high school just checking lights on trailers and wiring. a trailer could sit in the yard a week and the same light might work 3 out of 5 days or 5 times a day for 5 days and go out 10 feet down the road. Pasadena, Texas writes no cdl A tickets to guys using a company truck and trailer bringing back hunting stuff and puts the them out of service.
There is no discussion there you don't run and spend money out of your pocket to say I am trucking
Yea the roads are bad they building new home and the roads are fucked
I miss your Trump introduction
Again
Hot shotters get no respect. Everybody squeezes the little guy. The idea is your lights give you visibility, but they can go out anytime, you can be a block away from your pti and lose a light .How is that worthy of a violation? Hang in there pal
With all the corruption disclosures, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if the trucking industry lobbyists pay DOT to run em into the dirt...
That DOT inspection is like harassment, can anyone ever pass one without getting a ticket. Bulb out on a trailer, unreal !!!
Sugar beet harvest they do random inspections. They will search till they find something. So many set up a clearance light to inside kill switch. They kill it if stopped. Just to eat cheap ticket, get back rolling fast as paid by hr, and loads.
@@larrythompson8630 that’s highway robbery !! Scam
Robert sometimes anything is better than nothing At least you have money coming in Not at the price you won't maybe But at least it something
bullshit
thats what kills the rates. People thinking like this. I'll sit at home and go broke before driving to go broke
This is what happens when every youtuber is bragging how much money they are making , everybody is jumping in business.
video, thumbs up, thumbs down to inspector...
FYI, DOT monitors every avenue of trucking. they know who you are, work for, truck numbers, trailers, if you revised your truck and trailers, any thing regarding the business or as an employee. so when you go thru a scale, those camera's takes your pic, runs that data, and before you get too the entrance they already have your life infront of them. police cars are the same, it takes only 3 seconds too know every thing about your car. any hits, turns on a flashing red light and they can and most likely will turn around or as folowing you , will pull you over. its spying crap. This technology was started in 2007 guess who was the president then??
Bush?
@@josephcarter7830 yes, that wonderful socialist bush
I started too drive in 1980 hauling swinging, then onto box, van, flatbed, lowboys, doubles, tankers, hazmat's, military, and now, i'm glad i'm retired and out of it..
Time for a Biden intro lol
I had one and people cried
Dude, that was not a Level 1 inspection, that was a level 3. It’s impossible to do a lvl 1 on a scale since they need to go underneath your truck and trailer.
Weird I wonder why the paperwork says level 1. And I wonder why he crawled under the truck and trailer. You think it has to go on a lift for a level 1?

Welcome to the Biden economy
Let me make sure I get this straight and understand what you are saying. Biden has been on the job one day and you are saying economy is in the toilet. Where have you been hiding? How can you judge someone’s performance after one day?

@@johnfrank6083 Killed the Keystone XL Pipeline and stopped construction on the border wall. 42,000 jobs on pipeline and about 10,000 on the wall.
@@donaldsipes1791 you are right, that is a lot of jobs. I don’t know if the pipeline is for crude oil or natural gas. If oil maybe we don’t need it since the world is using less oil. We might need the pipeline for natural gas. I’m all for border protection. I say let immigrants come into this country legally if they have a skill the country can use, be it working in the farm fields, meat processing plants, jobs no one else wants to do in our country. If we have a shortage of scientists that our companies cannot fill, let skilled immigrants come in. If Those jobs go unfilled with Americans, what harm is it if an immigrant fills that job. In the long run it helps our country.
clue; Dont make videos about how you make money and how easy it is. The same thing will happen to Amazon drivers. Every idiot and his brother is hyping their box truck biz now. Stop making videos.
