Let's unpack the mess inside of the latest video from hotshot Bennii, this is a perfect example of how not to approach any given day in this industry. Fingers crossed and high hopes cannot come close to substituting regular maintenance and continuous visual inspection. There is a lot of bad attitudes toward the hotshot trucking industry and examples like this video are exactly why they exist. Be better.

This shows the obvious, you can’t please everyone. I will point out just based on feedback that people overwhelmingly agree with what I pointed out in this. Most that don’t agree feel like I’m attacking the individual instead of the actions. That’s a strange perspective to have given the subject matter but to each his own. I’m all about helping people. In this instance the help is for the viewers of the original video and even Bennii himself. Read the comments on the original video. MOST of them don’t even realize the gravity of what they just witnessed because they’re blinded by their opinion of the man. It’s flat out dangerous to create content like that to new and potential drivers out here. They follow his every example because of the bar he’s set by his appearance of massive success. People will replicate his every move, even bad ones if there’s no accountability because if he’s still appearing to be wildly successful then getting shut down and rolling dirty must just be part of the formula right? Hell no

Thank you for this! I’m also a hotshot car hauler with a 4-car rig. I have the exact same experience as you mentioned with DOT inspections. Every one of his videos show stupid and dangerous issues that he shrugs off as silly little mistakes. Hell, a few videos ago his trailer hub blew up and his wheel went flying off into the median starting a big brush fire. It was played off like “these are things that happen out here”. If you do your pre-trips and proper maintenance they shouldn’t happen.

I'm not surprised because when I started you were definitely one of the few that were genuine...andvit seems people are catching the same vibe. Anyways, wish I had stopped there! This video is beyond disturbing yet seems pretty consistent with the mindset of so many across social media. It's disturbing how much is taken for granted.

He talked about some back to back bad inspections before and I thought they were working themselves back with good inspections...apparently not. I've had 3 level ones with 99 F350's. Yeah, they look hard at old hotshot equipment, but I stay on top of it. I passed each inspection! If I don't think something is right, I shut it down and fix it. Much easier to fix at home than stuck in some weigh station!

I worked for a company called Vantage Home Health delivering containers of liquid O2 to hospitals and households. We (3 trucks) got stopped almost every day by the PSP DOT officer. He'd let me go every time and we became pretty familiar with each other so I asked him WHY I was always getting stopped. He told me that he had to stop a certain number of HAZMAT trucks every day, and he KNEW our trucks (Vantage) would pass the Level 1 (easy quota fulfillment). So I was put behind on my run to satisfy a quota HE HAD because he knew we wouldn't fail. I did ask him to report the stops though so I could at least get credit for the hassle.

But he barley speaks English so it was difficult to understand what was being stated. I did hear him say something avoiding the weigh station. Which was a red flag for me being in transportation for a number of years. Is there a particular book or session videos that I can use to learn more about the car hauling industry?

Yo, I PANIC when the tires just wear uneven, and almost died when I saw his racing/side treads! Front steers need to be 4/32 tread, I follow that rule for ALL the treads on the tire! So that tread strip that’s bald is automatic OOS!? Am I wrong? He must of had a nice DOT officer.

@@LoadMizer It was a bad idea for Bennii to be carrying that racing slick around with him in the bed, like an advertisement out in the open. That's like game attractant to a DOT officer -- as soon as he sees it, now he _REALLY_ knows he needs to keep his eyes peeled for OOS violations.

I owned 3 Dodge Duallys and 1 ford dually . The suspension parts on these front ends wear out super fast when pulling heavier loads . Dodge especially had problems and it seemed I was burning through tires and constantly changing front end parts . Yeah dudes gonna need a rebuild soon .

If you're burning up steers and destroying front end components, make sure you do new dampers with every set of tyres, and get the wheels balanced on the truck. Get the alignment checked also.

Seeing his front tires like that would make me want to get the steering components inspected immediately! The front end doesn’t go out of alignment for no reason, it’s a sign that the ball joints, tie rod ends, ect have worn out of spec causing the misalignment. Forget a blown tire, imagine having a ball joint or tie rod failure while going 70 mph with a 20,000 lb + load behind you.

Exactly, any unusual tyre wear like that usually points to an alignment/camber issue. Here in the UK we have a habit of wearing the outside edge of the l/h tyres out on vans/commercial vehicles because we have a lot of roundabouts on our roads (driving clockwise round a circle so weight leaning to the left) so if you have any sense you rotate your tyres/wheels from l/h to r/h side to even the wear out/maximise tyre life.

@LoadMizer

Depends on the tread depth of the other one. On a single wheel axle if the tread is low on the other side too just change them both. On a dual wheel setup I’d change the tire group on that same side for sure. Like I said it really depends on the tread depth left but if you change a tire on an axle and the other is half tread or less left on it the difference will end up wearing both tires unevenly and you’re doubling the problem. Hope this helped 👍

@@vegaslimoguy2376 it actually came from Texas oil fields. Loads are still hot. Dedicated loads that is. Government put paper logs into place but so many guys had "two" logs the real one kept hidden and a fake one to present. They caught on to it and wanted electronic logs. Plus it's easy for them now to put you out of service and fine you for log violations. Just another way to take people's money. But for the most part it is more LTL anymore than dedicated hot loads. But 90% of my loads are dedicated. I'm not a big fan of partials but will take them if I need to.
