Honestly, bu a country mile. This is the most informative get to the point video I have see on this subject. Every video I have seen on here about this subject is honestly just some guy flexing on how much he made and his expenses. They offer no real information on what you need to do and how to get started. This is 100% the best I have seen on this subject. Thanks very much.

@hotshotnewengland 3 года назад
That info is bad info. In his defense he did say he wasn't sure. You only follow your state laws and all other states have to follow. Also derating a trailer is illegal even if the manufacturer "assisted" in doing this. He seems like a nice guy but he can get a lot of people in trouble giving out these type of info. Everything else he was on point 👊💪

@@hotshotnewengland can you post a link to the law that states that is illegal? Not saying you’re incorrect. I’ve just searched everywhere and asked every appropriate law enforcement agency as possible Be4 putting the info out there. Nobody has ever shown me anything stating it to be illegal. All it does is ensure a CDL is not required.

I'm going to make a video this weekend explaining it all. In the meanwhile, call your manufacturer just like a DOT officer could do and ask what your trailer is rated for by giving them your vin number. Let us know their answer. I can save you 5 minutes and tell you they won't say the number that's on your sticker now. DOT goes by the original gvwr that was issued legally to the manufacturer when the vin number was registered with the department of transportation. The gvwr can never be changed from the department of transportation database. You can also call any DOT office and ask them to run your vin if you doubt this and the gvwr that comes back is the final and only number they care. Only seasoned DOT officers know this loophole which is why we get away with this. But not all get away and many guys end up with $50k+ loans on setups they can't drive because once you get hit with that OOS for having a derated vin sticker you can never drive that trailer again until you get your cdl as it's a $10k fine for a repeat offense.

@@hotshotnewengland I fully agree with everything you said. That’s why every time anyone asks about derating a trailer, I inform them that it must be done on a brand new trailer. That was its registered that way from the very beginning.
@hotshotnewengland
@hotshotnewengland 3 года назад
@@shipleytransport3211 it doesn't work that way that's also wrong. When the manufacturer makes that trailer it gets the gvwr that the trailer was meant for. They have structural engineers involved in rating the trailer and inspections done from dot to make sure everything is correct. Even a brand new trailer that gets "derated" it is still going to show up on the dot database with a higher gvwr. I have had this happen to several of my friends on brand new trailers. Kauffman was the original manufacturer who started allowing their customers to call in and ask for any gvwr on a sticker because that helps them sell more trailers! They will issue that sticker but they are not the ones driving that trailer you and I are so they could care less of what happens.

Just want to add one thing. If you don't have apportioned plates then many states require that you purchase a trip permit, if you're over 12000lbs. Some permits are good for one trip some are good for 30 days and some (nevada) require you give an entry and exit point. Most of the time they don't even bother you about it but others will fine you up to $1500 for entering without it.

I've had a CDL for over 40 years. I just don't understand why anyone would want to drive commercially without a CDL. Why would you limit your earning abilities, the types and size of loads available to you ? Spending the same amount of time away from home and earning substantially less. Yes we pay more in taxes but that is easily covered by the income generated. I just don't understand. I'm all about Freedom & Liberty, being your own boss. Not looking to disrespect anyone driving non CDL drivers. Just trying to understand. As far as "so you want to be a HotShot" videos go, kudos to the creator of this video / channel. Very accurate and straightforward information, unlike Piglet and others who have done more harm to the industry and gullible individuals than good. I'd suggest everyone interested in this industry read and understand the FMCSA Regulations Handbook. Also get a copy of JJ Keller Securement Manual. I see illegally "secured" loads everyday which endanger us all and tge #1 reason our insurance rates are so outrageous. Keep those wheels spinning.Enjoy the ride, rubberside down.

Well I fully agree with you on everything you said. My entire goal with this page is to get more people doing things the right way and to try to help the industry any way that I can. As far as Non-CDL for me, it fits my equipment very well. By registering my truck at 26k lbs, I know I will not be over weight on my truck or trailer. My total equipment cost is down so it makes financial sense. I also think everyone should run their own business how they see fit and profitable. Hope things go well for you moving forward and truly appreciate the feedback!

I have the identical truck (2011) with a 13,000 gvwr. I have that identical trailer w/35ft and a derate to 13,000 gvwr. My truck is tagged at 26,000 lbs (NC). The 10,001 cdl rule for the trailer is only for those who are licensed in that state, not those who drive through so, if Missouri says that if you tow a trailer over 10,001 lbs gvwr you'll need a cdl, then you'll need a cdl. Outside of that you're good.
@88roughneck
@88roughneck 3 года назад
I have a couple of questions if your still answering them at this point? Q1. What is your trucks scaled weight if the GVWR is 13,025 lbs? Q2. On a level 1 inspection at all and any weigh stations with all and any officers that may be performing it when they look at your trailer sticker and seeing 9,900 lbs as the rated weight and look on your BOL and see that your freight totals 10,000 lbs can you confidently say, with out a doubt, that they will not put you out of service or issue any violations because it's calculated that your over weight on your trailer as per your "derated" sticker weight? If your freight on your BOL is 10,000 lbs give or take a few 100 lbs that means your trailer weighs close to nothing which is impossible. Maybe most DOT officers are not that bright or diligent to figure that out but can you 100%, with out a doubt, say they "ALL" won't? I guess I snuck a third question in there, I hope you don't mind.
@jasonscales2522
@jasonscales2522 3 года назад
@@88roughneck it'll be a very bad thing to derate your trailer to 9,990! At least for commercial work, I don't know the light weight of my truck alone because that's not the weight I work with, but my total light weight is 15,800 and as long as the load I put on deck isn't over 9k I don't worry about being over on any axle. If you live in a state that requires you to have a cdl for a trailer with a 10,001 + gvwr despite the tow unit you should just get one. Now if that's not the case, get your trailer derated to 12,075 and go to work. Just a FYI just because you can carry a 10k load don't mean you should! Weight don't pay, its space that pay!
@88roughneck
@88roughneck 3 года назад
@@jasonscales2522 My trailer isn't derated and I do get paid for my space and have my CDL. So I don't have to worry about any of that. I see so many new guys trying to break into the industry and they are lost looking for guidance. We all were there right. I do my do diligence and my own research and still come up confused at times but one thing for sure, I try my very best to look at all logical and reasonably possibilities and if I'm wrong hopefully it doesn't cost me more than just learning. I am not as confident as some people out there to dab in the world of master interpreter of the law to guide anyone into that world. The law can be very confusing, vague, and difficult to understand. So the best people I have seek to guide me is those who are trained to be competent in the law and safety and who enforce it. I have see many times so many people miss guide others because they understand these things in thier own perspective but thier own understanding of it isn't quite right either or thier experience has not yet proven weather or not its fully understood. That's why I make the statement "can you say with 100% certainty with out a shred of doubt for all the states, all the ports and all the officers will you will not be put out off service or issued a violation for what you feel is your understanding of the laws ,rules and safety regulations. Most people can't say they can they are only able to say, "Well, so far from my experience with ports, states and officers......" but they can not fully say for sure with 100% certainly without a doubt. Why, because they are not experts in th law, rules and safety regulations. I'm not just speaking of this particular matter I am speaking for the entire industry and any law, rule, and regulation. I have found that it is difficult for anyone to put a guarantee on it. Why, because it varies per state, port, and even officers. I have witness one port on the entry of the state strickly enforces one law and defines it in one way and in the same state another port doesn't. I have witness two different states two different ports do that same and I have also witness two different officers enforcing the law and defining it two different ways as well. So in my humble opinion and advice to anyone new nervous about the law and safety regulations seek answers from those who make it, enforce it and teach it they are trained, license, certified and compitant to do so and also keep in mide that it is going to vary. That was my only point to my questions. Do your research correctly and seek advice from the experienced one but answers from the experts. I would derate my trailer either. I agree with you BTW. It's just better to get your CDL but like he mention in his video to each his own for what ever reason there is that open path for anyone to commercially drive with out a commercial driver's license. You will always have, in any Industry, those who seek the boundaries. This non-cdl is a hack and who doesn't love a good hack and those with a good hack love sharing it with others. I may not be a hack in this industry but I will not deny I'm a hack at others and I will not deny that I myself love a good hack.

@sovoutlaw5931 3 года назад
Great video, tons of good information. I am curious though, aren't you correct in the initial assessment of the GVWR and weight for max load to carry when you first mentioned it? GVMR is the max weight it's rated to haul including the weight of trailer, so don't you have to account for GVWR and subtract the curb weight to get your load capacity before risking damage to the trailer itself? For example, if you have a 30K GVWR trailer, you can't haul 30K lbs of equipment, you'd have to subtract the curb weight (let's say 9K lbs) so it you'd be left with a 21K load capacity before possibly running into damaging the trailer in some form or another correct?

I feel this is very important to consider. In this world we need to consider doubt and what it may cost us legally and at what and or whose expense. Food for thought: If you’re pulled over while in excess of your vehicle's or trailer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), you could end up paying a hefty ticket. But the chances of that your probably thinking is very, very, very, slim so why not take that risk, DOT hasn't said anything to you about it so far right. However, the consequences are far more severe if you’re involved in an accident while surpassing your vehicle’s and or trailer's GVWR. If the accident involves a loss of life, some states may levy criminal charges, including manslaughter. Again can you say 100%, with out a doubt, the victims lawyer will not be able to successfully argue that point. I’m sure you will be able to prove your trailer was derated but again can your 100%, with out a doubt, say that will be good enough. Also, as a professional driver the accident doesn't necessarily have to be your fault in order to be prosecuted. In driving school your taught how to be a "Defensive Driver" for that reason. Yes I know you don't have to go to driving school so that will be your defense. However, you have a USDOT#, MC#, a business license, commercial insurance, and for hire, you don't think that alone is enough for a lawyer to say it is reckless for you to run a transportation company as a professional driver while incompetent to drive defensively for not having the proper training. Yes, therefore no matter who is at fault they are going to go after you and your company. The world of “IF's” “If ‘IF’ was a 5th we all be drunk” Thank you for letting borrow your platform and your time, Sir.

Hey I am not sure if you are still active on on here but I live in AZ and I am about to to start Hotshot trucking. I am glad I came across this video because I did not know if you are towing a trailer it has to be 10000 pounds or less. Can you tell me where you found your gooseneck at, I have looked online and they are way over 10000 pounds. That would help me out so much !

A question please? Your truck's GVWR is 13025 lbs, and your trailer is 9990 lbs. The total for those is 23,015. This means that you can only legally carry less than 2985 lbs. That's less weight than you could put in the box of your vehicle! Can you reconcile that difference please? It's my understanding that the GVWR is a rating and your total rating must be less than 26,000 with truck, trailer and cargo. Please explain if you would. Many thanks!

Some drivers are clueless on what's legal. For example, I saw a hotshot driver hauling an oversized load in the fast lane during rush hour. They don't know that legally those types of loads are allowed to be transported during certain hours only. I'm sure he didn't make far but it sure was sad to see.

@EricCutrer 11 месяцев назад
I don't know where these guys are getting this info from that you don't have to have a CDL to drive a vehicle with a gvwr between 10,000 lbs and 26,000 lbs, but it's wrong unless there have been a lot of changes made in the regulations in the last few years. For that weight rating you have to have a D class CDL with a physical. It doesn't matter what state you're in because CDL regulations are federal, which are the same in every state. I don't know what this E class chauffer's license is you're talking about, but a C class CDL is for any passenger bus over 15 people, the short propane and fuel trucks, and limos, a B class CDL is for any single vehicle rated over 26,000 lbs like a box truck, and the A class CDL is for any truck-trailer combination rated over 26,000 lbs. If that trailer has 2 8,000 lb axles then it should have a rating of 16,000 lbs, not just 9,900, meaning that with the truck being rated at 14,000 lbs puts you at 30,000 lbs requiring an A class CDL.

@dalewyldeside3262 3 года назад
@@agreaves1012 Think of the GVWR as the "maximum". Say GVWR for a truck is 13000 lbs. That's the heaviest it is allowed to be. The actual weight with full fuel and everything might only be 9000 lbs which means you can legally put 4000 lbs in it and still be legal. Same goes for the trailer. 10000 lbs GVWR rating but might only weigh 6000 lbs unloaded. So when combined, the truck and trailer are rated for 23000 lbs. The actual unloaded weight might only be around 15000, leaving about 8000 lbs for carry weight. These are nice round numbers, you really need to scale the truck and trailer with full fuel and no load to get actual numbers, but this should give you an idea.

Purchased a new Ram 3500 chassis cab and dealership would not change the GVWR from 14,000 to 26,000. They said they could not change that on my registration. How do I change that? Also where is the IFTA regulation that limits your auxiliary fuel tank size. My new chassis cab came with 2 fuel tanks one is 22 gallons and one is 52 gallons for a total of 74 gallons. I’d like to add a 90 gallon auxiliary tank. I went on IFTA and it says that tax only applies to CDL, 3 or more axels and a few others but I saw no mention of auxiliary fuel tanks or their sizes.

Genuine question. Unless the loads are just as good for such low weight amounts what is the point of limiting yourself to such a small amount? I understand I must be missing something but so many are doing this and it seems that looking for such small loads would be pretty difficult and likely wouldn’t pay but a partial rate. For not a whole lot more money you could get registered for more weight so long as your equipment can handle it. If your gonna be out on the road then why not maximize profits…?

I'm confused about the truck weight stuff for non CDL. If your truck weighs 13,025 + 9,900 for the trailer = 22,925 total. 26,000 - 22,925 = 3,075. So you'll only be able to haul 3,075 lbs legally. Does that restrict the business, or do you still find plenty of loads?

@88roughneck
@88roughneck 3 года назад
I have a couple of questions if your still answering them at this point? Q1. What is your trucks scaled weight if the GVWR is 13,025 lbs? Q2. On a level 1 inspection at all and any weigh stations with all and any officers that may be performing it when they look at your trailer sticker and seeing 9,900 lbs as the rated weight and look on your BOL and see that your freight totals 10,000 lbs can you confidently say, with out a doubt, that they will not put you out of service or issue any violations because it's calculated that your over weight on your trailer as per your "derated" sticker weight? If your freight on your BOL is 10,000 lbs give or take a few 100 lbs that means your trailer weighs close to nothing which is impossible. Maybe most DOT officers are not that bright or diligent to figure that out but can you 100%, with out a doubt, say they "ALL" won't? I guess I snuck a third question in there, I hope you don't mind.

@@asdlb4 His trailer is tested and rated for more than 10k. However, because he wants to run Non CDL he had the dealer change the rating sticker on his trailer just so he can register, key word here "REGISTER" under 26k even though his trailer has been tested and originally rated for more. Since he knows that his trailer can handle more than what it says, on the de-rated sticker he requested, he hauls the 10k payload on his trailer which only seams like its over loaded when really its not. Therefore, he is registered legally to run non CDL and makes sure he actual scales under 26k lbs by staying under 10k lbs of frieght on his trailer. His stance is, that his registered weight and scaled weight are both under 26k and legal but are never used together to determine weather or not he is or seams as if he is over loading his trailer. My Q2 below was more of a responce than a Question. It can be brought into question weather or not he is over loading his trailer and any DOT officer and any lawyer can argue that as well. I asked if he can stand by it 100% and know without an ounce of doubt that any and/or all would not question it and he cant. He can only speak to what he has experienced which thus far it has not been questioned. Three facts I can stand by is, #1. He has a rating sticker on his trailer that caculates he can only haul less than 4k lbs of freight and putting 10k lbs on his trailer is over the rating no matter what it was originally rated for, thats what its rating now. #2. There are relaxed DOT officers and there are deligent ones. There are fair ones as well as more authoritive ones and there are nice ones and there are....... ill let you chose the word most fitting. #3. In a court of law the story best told to the jury wins and a smoking gun loaded or not is most helpful.
