Non-CDL Hotshot Rookie Gross $20,000+ In 3.5 Weeks | Complete Breakdown All Expenses (Real Numbers)
What is up you guys! Here is the video many of you have been waiting for! In this video, I breakdown all my expenses and show what I made in my first 3.5 weeks on the road as a leased on non-cdl hotshot driver. Keep in mind this is just my first month and I took out some expenses that I chose to reserve but not necessarily a must.

People loves to come online, watch videos, and nitpick the hell out of it not realizing that you didn’t have to share a damn thing. The fact that you did share your experiences is a blessing we should look at what you shared and take everything that we can from that video to try to help our situation. Stop spending so much time trying to nitpick and hate on people this is why your ass is watching videos opposed to making money. This brother shared some serious information that I didn’t know and it’s really served me well he is helping many people make informed decisions based on his good experience and his bad experiences. In the military we called it lesson learned so that you don’t continue to make the same mistakes.

@technician-tony Год назад

Yes! You said it, God Bless this man for the transparency, and sharing his experiences can save someone alot of time and money. We all know- You don't know what u don't know. Plain and simple.

@timhammond691 2 года назад

Not wanting to throw water on your spreadsheet, but you calculations are not correct. I haven't seen any other videos that you have done and therefore this issue may be corrected. You can use your spreadsheet to calculate the correct RPM by taking the actual amount you received by the miles driven. The total must also be calculated by the total amount you received by the total miles driven. It appears that your actual total average RPM is around $1.75 based on the first three weeks.

@juanrrobledo89 3 года назад

Looks like your doing good, one thing I recommend, you might want to invest in small cooler to carry some lunch meat, fruit, stuff like that, another thing you may want to consider is to schedule short hauls when you have to deadhead to your next pickup, to make up the difference, instead of just deadheading if possible you might want to hire your wife to find your loads and set them up and dispatch you, once you get your own authority, if that's your goal, this could put more money in your pocket, because the 30 percent is a little steep, you got your rig and trailer, your doing about 100% of the work, this way you could cut the rate of the company your leased to, but you will be responsible for your own insurance and fuel, you can apply for your own fuel card, your own maintenance, something to think about, you can still be dispatched from your current employer but as an owner operator, your DOT number and still stay busy

@marcuslarwa9098 2 года назад

I think 200-250 a week for truck/trailer is a good amount. Like your said you still have your warranty so having that extra money set aside for any emergency is just smart business. What I would also do is either take a salary and put the rest back into the business or take a percentage out and put it back into the business. After a year or 2 you could possibly get a 2nd truck going and hire another driver. Do that a few times and you could have your own trucking company with a fleet of trucks and drivers. I don’t know what your plans are but just looking at how detailed your sheets are I would guess your a smart person. What we have learned from this pandemic is people like staying home and having their shit brought to them. I think people are going to shop online more and more so the trucking industry is going to see a real boom.

@Unique1Media 2 года назад

$250 a week? You best retire / sale what you can before going BROKE (unless u took it wrong) Up to or avg $5K a week or up to avg $20K a month is gd.

I've been considering getting into the hotshot trucking. I'm curious as to your thoughts on buying vs leasing a truck. According to another youtuber, Tow Piglet, he suggests leasing through Enterprise. He says that with leasing, you can basically get a new truck every 60,000 miles and you don't have to worry so much about repairs. Just wondering your thoughts on the subject.

@botomusprime6238 2 года назад

I signed up for a job like this in Arizona and I had to have money to start working cause I have to pay for hotel, gas and food and I no reimbursement. Not saying that this company does that too but one has to be very careful cause the job in Arizona sounded very good till I had to sign on the dotted line…

@75craigrice 3 года назад

Great video! I’m definitely interested in being a non CDL hot shot driver. Going to gather some Jewels on knowledge and learning what it’s going to take to be successful. Wish you well my brother!

@HotshotMacc 3 года назад

That’s what’s up bro, the most important thing is to do your due diligence to make sure you are in compliance

Hey man congrats! What company are you leased under?

@Thefunkeemonkee Год назад

Im almost certain you bought that truck at 50k+. Get a good accountant or tax preparer but I think you can write off that truck and pay almost no taxes your first year.

@panchovillaz8004 Год назад

I 👎 you need CDL. You pulling bigger trailer secretary say combinations is for truck with trailer bigger. You don't need air brakes test you need past the test for combinations test to get CDL. Nothing is like people saying police 🚔 waiting ✋️ 4 u.

@DJ63phx 2 года назад

One thing I used to do hotshot work is oil changes I would change my oil at least every 3 to 4 weeks. You can rack up a lot of miles really fast in a month. I can keep up with all your Lubing fluid changes check the brakes

@TheHavrelandtExperiment 15 дней назад

So you made $20,000 in 3 1/2 weeks and how much did you spend to do that, I'm gonna say probably well over half that. 12-13K? Then you got to put out for your own medical insurance and everything else, you guys are playing saying oh you can make $20,000 a month doing hot shot when really your net take-home is maybe a little bit more than if you just drove a truck for somebody else with benefits. Stop playing.

@HotshotMacc 14 дней назад

Ah yes, because clearly every dollar I make has to magically disappear into thin air, right? Appreciate the expert financial analysis! You must be the accountant I didn’t know I had. But don’t worry, I’m not out here rolling in Monopoly money. Between expenses, insurance, and, you know, running a business, it's all part of the game. But hey, feel free to stick with the 9-to-5 grind while I’ll just keep 'playing' with these numbers. Stay Blessed!

@tombishop7460 3 года назад

Please make sure you stress your gvwr. A lot of people think they don't need a cdl as long as they don't haul 26k. Not realizing the CDL is based off GVWR. Keep up the good work 💪

@basementracer Месяц назад

Why is it that these people never ever ever tell you what broker they are using? I am new, trying to get into Hot Shot loads and I have no idea where to obtain the loads, do I look for a broker? A dispatcher? a load board? Can someone please name a company that allows you to use their Authority and take a cut? It will at least point me in the right direction and then I know what I am looking for. I have spent days watching videos' from people like this and not one of them ever tells you where they are getting their rides. Anyone got any ideas? These video's, "hey everyone I just wanted to show you my stats if your just getting into it to help you". What the really means is "Hey everyone, I'm gonna flex as I am doing good and I want you all to know". If that wasn't the case these people would actually help us and tell us where to go to get NON CDL Hotshot loads.

@HotshotMacc Месяц назад

It seems like you’re hoping for everything to be handed to you. The best advice I can give is to continue doing your research-Google is a powerful tool. There are many great content creators out there sharing valuable information, but expecting to get all the details to start a trucking business from just one or two videos isn’t realistic. Take the time to familiarize yourself with FMCSA regulations and the steps needed to get started. It’s a process, but with persistence, you’ll find the information you need.

@terrymcchesney383 Год назад

Just a typo, your RPM on trip #2 March 2021 shows $1.99 but should be $1.25. Think it calculated against 100% of the freight amt ? doesn't really hurt any totals or nets though.

@HotshotMacc Год назад

Yeah I realized the error later on lol

@Rue-vb9lq 2 года назад

Excuse me I forgot to add I’ll be using a F-250 to get started. Can I start with a f-250 then upgrade to F-350-450.when I get my CDL?

@HotshotMacc 2 года назад

I wouldn’t recommend hauling 3 cars with a 250. Its have to be 350 minimum and you’ll still have to be careful on the trucks drive axles.

@shaund6226 3 года назад

If you can afford to pay an extra thousand towards principal car note do it. I don't truck but I find it easier and faster to pay off vehicles by matching car note or better towards principal. Pay vehicle off ASAP so creditor gets as little intrest as possible from you.

@HotshotMacc 3 года назад

That’s a good idea.

@coryparson8421 8 месяцев назад

How is your commercial truck & trailer insurance policy with freight insurance that cheap? Nobody's is that cheap.

@HotshotMacc 8 месяцев назад

Thats not my commercial insurance coverage. The company I was leased on to covered the commercial policy

@tomburke2830 Год назад

Wish you didn't use so much jargon that you are familiar with, but many of us trying to learn from you have no clue; "Dead Head"? "Leased On?"

@HotshotMacc Год назад

That’s where continued research comes in my brother. I had to learn what it means too without having someone explain it. There’s a ton of info I put out. But google is also a helpful resource. Hope you don’t take this the wrong way bro but this is also a part of why guys that get in are lost is bc they aren’t doing there research. 🫡💯

@covarishepburn8836 11 месяцев назад

This video is great. But my question is wondering what type of insurance would I need. I heard you say you have Geico coverage for your truck and trailer. But do you have cargo insurance?

@HotshotMacc 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! This is just the physical damage. At the time the company I was leased on covered the commercial insurance cargo and liability. Hope that helps!
