This is by far one of the best informational videos for hotshot that I've seen. Also the first time I've seen those corner protectors, everyone else seems to be just draping moving blankets.
We greatly appreciate it! You are right a lot of ppl definitely just use moving blankets but that can take up a lot of space. They have since gone up in price to 2 dollars per but at the time we bought them they were less than a dollar for each. But even at 2 dollars a piece for 20 bucks you get a set of 10 and dont even have to fool with blankets anymore. Still worth it in my opinion
Just binge watched all your videos. This one is by far my favorite! I do not do hot or big shot trucking, but do land clearing and haul all my own heavy equipment. So alot of this I still found applicable to me. Thanks for the tips! Love that bungee tube!!
Awesome video and information...!!! I also have wheel chucks... You are absolutely correct about the damage to the transmission can be obtained while being loaded
Excellent set up! I have a 2020 Ram 3500 Cab & Chassis with a Lamar 30ft Straight Deck. The Cab is at 13500 GVWR & the Trailer is set up at 12500 GVWR. It’s a 26K set up but I run with my CDL out here in CA. I run 11 Western and keep plenty busy. Shout out to my Fellow Military Veterans out there doing the deed. Keep up the great work and content. Shout out to your Pops as well! Nothing like having your family supporting you on your adventures. Godspeed to y’all!
Not a bad setup at all! A lot of ppl think they have to go out and get what they see everyone else using and in all actuality you just need to get what works best for you because what works for some may not work for others! And thanks for the support from Cali!
Thanks for the comments, we REALLY appreciate you. Sounds like you have a cool set up as well. I love the RAM trucks, keep on trucking and thank you for your service. Safe travels to you as well.
Its great to see a lot of people enjoying this video! We really just want to see everyone flourish whether you’re a company driver or o/o if there are ways to make your life easier why not do it.
Hey brother which video was it that you guys talked about where to get the dot numbers on the side of the truck? I want that panel just like you guys on each side
Ah.. tbh i legit cant remember 😅 but i can say we just took aluminum 4x8 trailer panel (comes painted) and cut it the the size we needed then had our numbers sized and put on it
I would check myteeproducts.com thats where we buy all of our trucking related items for the best price as for the specific strap winder i would good strap winders the one he has in particular he got made from scratch back in the late 90s lol
What’s up Nova vroom vroom? You should be able to find something very similar to my winder at the link that HSS posted. Thanks for checking out the video.
That one is something he came up with/had on his previous trailer and before i got my CDL i was a welder/fabricator so i just brought the plan to life .. but if you go to any welder/fabricator and tell them what it is you want they should be able to bring it to life for you no problem.
I got pull over by highway patrol for hot shot. I do have cdl a and hazmat endorsement, I still have followed fsmc regulation. Now I have pending violations on my clearance house. I told officer I am not using cdl a licensing doing hotshot and I shouldn't be subject to fsmc rules. Officer said its doesnt matter if you are cdl company driver or not, your cdl license is subject under fmsc rules. I was running empty flat bed less than 26000 lbs. My question how do run hotshot without subject to fsmc and not use my cdl so I dont have time constraints or elog as hotshot.
You know thats a good idea… we have a video on tik tok of us rolling up a tarp and we have a few videos with us tarping in it but not a dedicated video
I'm going to steal some of his tricks and ideas of how to make the job easier... TO ALL THAT COMMENT... PLEASE DON'T SNITCH ON ME... I DON'T WANT HIM TO KNOW THAT I'M COPYING HIS METHODS AND IDEAS...!!!! SHHHHH...!!!!
Awesome that you will use some of my tips and tricks. So glad to help. Man, we have to help one another out and not drag each other through the mud. Pay it forward Bro.

Just be sure to use HEAVY enough material, bar stock is 1” thickness and pipe sleeve big enough to sleeve the bar for the hinge on our set up.
