"I wont make it in time to deliver today". That is what you commonly run into in the Northeast, densely populated areas, smaller surface roads in small towns, and lots of traffic, all work to slow things down. Very ambitious to shoot for $1,000 per day, but I think the reality might be $1,000 every two days if you work hard and grind. Good stuff tow piglet!

Hey there just wanted to say thank you for the useful content always very much appreciated, I'm currently in the process of trying to sell my car to fund buying a truck and trailer like yours to also start up a local hotshot business, I'm located in Baltimore MD and after watching this you've given me more hope and new ideas on what to do , I was originally planning on just hauling 2 or 3 cars tops due to not wanting to get a CDL and now after watching your videos I think its smarter to get a trailer where I can haul cars and be able to haul loads . I'm glad you were here locally and showed us east coast folks the benefits of trying to do local hauls . Any advice on where and how to start would be extremely helpful either from you or your fellow subscribers. Thank you again for your time and keep up everything that you're doing . Thanks

Brokers are always trying to keep as much as possible on every load, of course they're in the business of making money. I love it when they say "LET ME ASK" let me ask who???? they already have a rate from that shipper, they don't go back to the shipper and re negotiate. brokers low ball drivers and someone always thirsty for the loads runs for pennies instead of just asking for a bit more. I will only take a load for little money if I need the backhaul to a better location or towards another load.. stay safe out there, liking your videos..

Yeah, but 3/4 or 1 ton trucks are really expensive. And if you need a dual wheeled trailer they are all over $10k. Then you add in all your chains, binders, straps, ratchets, tarps, basic tools, ppe and next thing you know you've spent $100k. And insuring pickup trucks for commercial hauling is just as expensive as big rigs. New haulers pay higher rates. So add in about $5 or $6k for his insurance down payment, permits and plates....

😂 Short Hills is one of the richie area of NJ, the mall has Bentley and RR parked in it! And technically you spend more time in PA area, which means your more of a local here then Texas 🤔

Dude, I’ve been doing those short hop loads all over PA, NJ, OH, NY since October. Only reason I leave the area is boredom or I want to head home to TN.

@pablofarez4074 3 жыл бұрын

how is it going for you. I'm from Jersey and I want to stay local doing short loads. Is it worth it? I'll be doing same states as you do. NJ.NY.PA.CT.OH and come back home. maybe every other day. any suggestions will be appreciated. 👍🏻

Love your channel man. I live like 10 miles from short hills. It’s one of the wealthiest areas in NJ. Houses cost between 1.5 (cheapest house) to 6+ million. Keep up the great content. Loads pay a lot because as they are commensurate with the crazy cost of living in the Northeast. I’d say you probably have a lot of bargaining power as well.

Also I wouldn’t get too comfortable untarping before the receiver sees it. I’ve seen them reject loads before being a holes

Might be a good idea to take a picture of the tarped load on site at least before pulling the tarp.

You should look into the trailers that have the built-in straps. I’m sure they’re way more expensive

Or just mount strap reels

You keep saying that the 1g came easy. But a 100k truck and trailer doesn't seem so easy

@swampliger8770 2 жыл бұрын

It actually is most people can afford a 30k to 40k truck that can pull 10,000lbs and get a trailer none gooseneck you do not need a gooseneck for these types of loads for total 50k make 1 grand or more a day if you look and profit 300 like he was saying a day if not more. Do that for a year that's 800 x 300 about 240k or bare minimum you make 200 a day times 300 that's 60k that is not bad at all. So no it's not easy but being a grown up who wants to make 250k a year isn't easy. You just have to try. Honestly i took 5 min for local loads near me one job pays 1300 for 300 miles driven 1200 load weight with my truck which is the example above i would make 1100 on that job minute car payment lets say 600 is average and 100 for trailer payment 700 total a month that's 23 a day and taxes 200 roughly lets say i profit 800 that's not bad for 5 of looking and a days worth of driving. This reply isn't for you but the ppl actually wanting to try in life.
