I think one of the way that contributes to the kind of mess we are seeing is in the rates….mainly when a trucker/hotshoter is heading homeward or heading another pickup location, they accepted loads for some unbelievable low rates and brokers are refusing to pay more because of that behavior…..need to stop
My buddy has people driving box trucks and I know another guy who hauls cars. Didn’t realize I can’t just have an MC/dot without insurance even though I may not be using it at the time
I just got mine I ordered in February. Did not get the high output motor (50 more hp for 4k) did not get the sunroof. Most come with 410 rears I ordered mine with 355's for better gas mileage. Few nice things he didn't show remote start, tailgate opens with remote and has a step in it, heated and cooled seats, even has Alexis if you have a Amazon account. Man I love this truck!
Blessings to you. Thank you for the great content. I watched your video on how to start car hauling and authority and that was a great video. Is there anyway possible if I can talk to you via phone or email? I'm looking to started soon in the business and I was hoping if I could ask some questions. Thank you and God bless.
So $500 to get registered with the state for the LLC, the FMCSA registration, and insurance, tag registration for both truck and trailer. I did bought the truck used for $10k, plus the used trailer for $4k. All together was close to $20K. But you can start with less than that by leasing, but you will carry a higher monthly expense.
Unless your gross vehicle weight and gross trailer weight exceeds a combination weight of the 26000 LBS. what is gross weight of your truck and the gross weight of Your trailer?
It can pull it, but won’t last because the engine and transmission was not build for that kind of towing. The Ram 2500 Diesel 6.7L can handle the 2 cars trailer…..but my recommendation would be for the 3500 Diesel 6.7L
So to cross the scale at a weigh station you would have to be below the 26,000 pounds. However if you gets pulled in for an inspection They are going to look at some specifics, like the GVW of the trailer and your truck GVW combine, which not exceeds the 26,000. The truck in this video is 12,000 GVW and I uses a 14,000 trailer so I will have to minus the curb weight of the trailer which for mine is 4,995 so that will leave me with 9,005 pounds that I am legal to carry. Most of the 2010 and newer trucks are 14,000 GVW, so to stay under 26,000 you would have to de-rate your trailer to 12,000 pounds. Let’s hope that gives a little understanding of how it works. Thanks for your question
THAT'S NOT STEAM! see the warnings on the battery?! Thats Hydrogen, extremely flammable and very bad to breath. Check voltage with a voltmeter, maybe the battery is being overcharged, maybe its just a failed battery, but dont breath that stuff.
Thanks for the heads up, I replaced the battery with a new one, and it seems to be good for now. I’m going to have the alternator checked just to be on the safe side. Thanks again
@@jimpway a hybrid vehicle doesnt charge its 12v battery with the alternator only. The high voltage system also charges the 12v battery. Id at the least check the voltage at the 12v battery while the car is running or powered up to verify its not being overcharged. But id also consider taking the car to a repair facility who can handle Hybrids/EVs and PAY to get the high voltage/hybrid system checked out. Id tell them up front what happened with the other 12v battery and have them look it over. Hybrids/EVs can be very dangerous and are not to be taken lightly.
I got the alternator check, the machine said it ok. I replaced the battery at the Honda dealership so I’m watching to see if that takes care of it or there’s something some other issue
