My First Day Of Hotshot Trucking | EPISODE 10 | HOT SHOT TRUCKING 

How are you helping out people but you didn’t know about IFTA?? That’s just trouble

Thanks for the compliment it really helps keep me going, and ill try and keep as honest about everything good and bad.

@@Babylionhotshot much appreciated man

lmao, i know right? he owned up

Thanks Hunter, ya bigger learning curve than I expected but I’m going to stick it out. I’m glad I’m not the only one that learns best the hard way lol I’ll see you out there

Some would probably laugh at you for that. I would laugh with you. Everyone's been in those situations where "Ah everyone's looking at me", if not you will be. I bet that kid will remember to check the nozzle before he leaves :). Thanks for sharing! I did the same thing when I went coast to coast, just sleeping in my car. I got to my destination and realized I didn't have any sleeping pillows, blankets, etc. All I had was literally a uhaul moving box. I layed it on the floor and had probably the base sleep I had in days haha.

Thanks man just seeing some comments now. Appreciate the encouragement. Ill do my best to bring the truth. It hurts first starting out and not making as much as I wanted to

Wow you really painted a picture for me. I hope that comes true. And thanks for the comment it made me happy

its not how much you make, its how much you keep.

Thanks Kaitlin and yes so true. You can prepare as much as you want but there are always curve balls. It’s almost like you have to say do or die and hype yourself up to go out on your first week. It the same feeling as first day at any job only maybe even a little stronger because the risk and money we put down

Alright I got you!

Hey guys hope your doing good out there still. It’s hot as hell. Thanks and ya I’m definitely putting a bed in the cab this weekend and that I think will help me get used to it

I think imma do more maps because that really puts the trips in perspective. Thanks for you feed back and for the love.

Hey!!! Stick to A/C though lol the away from home part sucks worse than it looks on tape

Thanks Joshua, appreciate the compliment. Im going to keep it real and give all the real numbers. I have also made lots of mistakes since this vid but I’m getting the hang of it now. See you out there and back here

Thanks, I fucked up again with the chains on the rims this week but I’m hoping the mess ups will level out and I can put out some how to do things the correct way vids

Thanks for the positive outlook, lots more lessons have been learned the last few weeks I’d like to say it get easier, hope that day comes sooner than later

Kids, 😂

I have more content from the first week I’ll put out. Thanks for the interest, I just hope I can tell the truth about this game

Hey again! thanks and ya first run, didn't expect it to go smooth but I didn't crash so that's good. just popped a tire, broke a gas pump and forgot my pillows but imma be prepared next week.

Ya I still gotta do that. If I don't I'm going to wish I took the time on the weekend to get it done. thanks for the reminder

@@Babylionhotshot check your tires every time you stop!

Honestly that’s why I do it. I don’t know if it necessarily helps but it makes sense. Also looks like it’s chained better too for DOT

Thanks Julio

I am about to start hotshot as well. Thanks for this video.

@@floydb891 So, how is it going?

@@Charlie-bl3kq things are going great. Thanks for asking.

Man im beyond nervous I keep thinking of every possible way my first load will go.im ready to get it over with

Hope your load when we’ll and your still out there hustling. It’s tough but we got this. Let’s work our way into a decent job

@@Babylionhotshot appreciate the response but it went good man its been a lil slow being with the new authoritie but I've made some money so I'm not complaining. I will say as of lately I've been rocking man

Are you still doing hotshot ?

Damn that was a great description on how to run the straps. And makes a lot of sense. I’ll do that for sure. Thank for looking out

Thanks! Ya I really like when people recommend stuff. Because I’m new and the learning curve is a bitch. Ratchet binders are in my near future.

That’s what I’m hoping, thanks and I guess we will see. If it doesn’t, I guess there is always bankruptcy

Working on it thanks. Your right, I’m taking a 25% cut leasing in right now. Nice crew I work with but it hurts.

Good questions. I have been putting off posting that vid only because it’s not finished. But I made the excel sheet and I just need to sit down and do film me going over it. Keep your eye out. Thanks for the interest. It takes a lot to keep track of everything.

Ya the tint is a bitch anyways. I can’t see at night. So that’s going to come off. Also I’m getting my own MC numbers so those will be permanent once the printing people say they are ready for me. It will be nice looking professional and not like a kindergartner that taped up number to their window lol thanks for the heads up

I see drivers with tint all the time. It’s not a problem

Okay good. I was thinking about putting some in the videos if I ever do a time lapse of me tarting or draping down but non while I’m talking about stuff. What do you think?

@@Babylionhotshot maybe on the time elapse but when the music overpowers the video it aggravating

Turns out they were taking 25% 😬

Figure that’s the best way. Because the the people that have been in the game a long time for get what is people on the ground floor feel like

Lol funny you say that. So that video was my first day but I did eventually find out that the bars other end is for the binders. Make it a whole hell of a lot easier.

Yup now that I have my own MC number I’ll be doing the negotiating. I’m glad about that

Correct did I mess something up?

Ya because it can always get worse

ya I already ripped one and need to get a new strap. edge protectors would have saved me money

@@Babylionhotshot and time

ya I need to invest more. right when I pay down my cards from getting the whole trucking thing up and running. and hopefully new drone because I broke mine.

@@Babylionhotshot loving the videos man . All will come in time, just keep it up! I've been a stay at home dad for a year now with our first child so I've been thinking of doing this hotshotting for a while now , just don't think I want to go all over like how you do . Just so I can bring the kiddo with and still be home regularly

They are still going strong, but ya I feel like I’m white knuckling it waiting for a reason to get a whole new set of 14 ply

yup that lease on stuff didn't last but those two weeks. I'm on my own know and thank god!! and they didn't even pay me all my money they owed me either to make it worse. they are know out of business...

Ya probably better that they don’t, that makes sense

No I did give him ID and phone number so I could pay for damages over the phone with a credit card but he never called still to this day. So I got of the hook, lol

And no Non-cdl but I’m realizing I may need to get one

@@BabylionhotshotYou are a good person.

@@Babylionhotshot You may already follow but Tow Piglet is an excellent source; although I heard that he just got out of the business.

If your f250 is diesel you will be fine

Will do. It was my first day so I’ll take it as constructive criticism and ya I’ll definitely get into the habit
