Watched the vid. I'm starting out with a 2021 Ram 2500 crew cab. Starting with a 2022 big tex 70ch 20dt 1 car hauler. This video gave me some confidence. Nice job.
First off.. BIG PROPS BRO !! Can you let us know the paperwork goes, what's needed? How did you get your first load? I appreciate your humility!! Thanks ahead
Cool starter vid. You learned the most important thing in hauling: 10 different guys will have 10 different ways of doing things. You'd probably been ok with the way you had it to begin with. In any case, you can buy a weight distribution hitch with sway control for a few hundred bucks if you do have a trailer that behaves weird at higher speeds. Hope all is well
I’m studying for my CDL as we speak. However, I need some money and I have a rear wheel drive truck and a single vehicle trailer. Can I do hotshot with a single veh trailer and how many will I have to do a day to make at least decent money
Great job 1st haul. You had the Jeep loaded right the first time. The heaviest part of the vehicle is the engine compartment. You had it forward of the trailer axles. They knew you were “new” because they saw new straps and trailer.
Not everyone will be as cool when you make your drop so keep doing your inspections and making notes of everything. Some will try to make up a problem to get you to take money off the delivery fee. I had this happen a few times.. Just cover yourself and if you are truly at fault don't try to deny it just be straight up. You will build your reputation up to the point where if someone does bad mouth you people won't believe it. God bless an stay safe
The guys that suggested moving the weight forward were right in theory, but not in application. The point is having weight in front of the trailer tires - not necessarily all the way forward. Where you ended up was way too far forward. You want weight as far back as possible without there being more weight behind the axles than in front of them. Actually, never all the way forward. I didn’t see a good view of it, but I think you were pretty close to correct the first time. Also keep in mind that some forklift operators are good resources for loading practices. He might have known where it needed to go.
Hey my friend i fallowed you’re advice on getting a car hauler and it’s going great so far but I find my self struggling to find jobs at time any suggestions or websites I live in Southern California I have a 20ft car hauler with a 2500
First of all let me say congrats 👏 to you. It's good to hear people doing good and working for themselves. Now regarding what websites, I used "Central Dispatch" and "ship.cars". You will have to set up an account. I'm a freight broker now. Email your company info including your contact information to me. Also contact your insurance company and make "4D's Transport LLC" a card carrier and have them email me a copy of your insurance so I can keep on file. If I find something in your area, I will contact you. 4dstransportllc@gmail.com Good luck with everything.
Hey Dee...awesome starting point. Like how you present that. All that time I was so preoccupied about dually and wedge trailer. Think I would start with 2500HD with 2 car trailer. Wouldn't be so bad. Again...Love how you present fro the beginning to end. Go slow and take it a step at a time. Great work
Great job man! 👏🏻🙌 ballz heading into the city, can only do with a 1 car or 2 car Bc can’t fit with nothing else 😂 keep it rolling and I’ll see you on the mean pot-hole streets of Jersey 😉
I want to do the same car hauling just the way u do so my plans is I have a truck 5k towing capacity and I’m looking at a 6 1/2 x 12 1/2 trailer to start hauling help me out
You mentioned you have little over head….. Do you have a DOT #? Because if you are hauling vehicles you are required to have a Commericial liability policy.
Unfortunately you were given bad advice. Never put the weight on the tongue of the trailer center it over the axles. The way you had the car was right to begin with. Those trailers are designed to be pulled that way. You don’t want the ass end of your truck sagging you want it level.
I'm starting single car hot shot next month (April). My company name is The Hauling Horseman, based in Iowa. Maybe I'll see you out there brother! Haul safe! Good info!
Thank you for your question and sorry for the delay. I have been very busy. I'm going on about 5 months with my DOT and yes I do have a CDL but its not necessary for this type of setup. You don't need a CDL if you are 26,000 lbs and under.
Hey! Loved to see a video of day one hauling one car. Can you please let me know where you got your trailer from and it was used/new? Lastly, how long is that trailer? I’m doing everything to get started asap. Keep it up! You got a new subscriber now 👍👍👍
I subscribed!! How far north do you go? And do you have a rate for private customers? I had a customer that needed a car taken from NJ to FL. Im insured up to 500 miles.(NC) She was trying to find out if her relative can meet me there to pick up the car. I thought "if only I knew someone that could meet me halfway and take it to FL.
@@4dstransport Sounds like we could work something out, what city is it going to? I normally try to find one going up before I agree to bring one down, also I try not to go under $1.20 a mile if I'm outside of FL. But we can still work something out if I'm given enough time to work something out with another vehicle. Keep me posted.
