Place a fuel tank on back of your truck . Less stopping time required . I use to laugh at my grandfather for having one but it save time and money . The newer ones pump has you need them automatically . The old ones you needed to manually do it .

I’m taking cdl classes currently. I live in California. I have bad credit . I could probably manage a truck 15-10 years old and that’s still over 20 k. The work part I can do it’s the finance part what’s going to hold me bk. Do you think I can do it with older truck and older base trailer ? And just grind my way up
@hotshotwithmeАй бұрын
I think you can do anything you set your mind to esp if you place your trust in God; this business a lot of times is up to the equipment you purchase whether new or old. Some older trucks are better than others so just do as much research as you can and make the decision you feel is best for you. My truck is an 07, I can do a lot of the work myself and the best part about it is that youtube has a lot of information on my truck. I will say this too. An old truck is an old truck. They weren't built to hotshot, so things such as maybe brakes can go out sooner and more frequently than some of the newer stuff so you just have to keep that in mind too. Make modifications to help it out and try to get the best rate with hauling low weight and keep pushing. Lastly trailers are trailer imo. They're simple just learn to take care of them and they'll take care of you and find good mechanics.

I like your equipment setup and I’m going to consider a 5500 single cab & chassis truck maybe a Dodge. Could I suggest you use a better voice recorder. It sounds mono with a lot of background noise such as wind and road. I also don’t care for loud background music. Most of your viewers are here to hear you and your content. At least turn down the music a bit. I hope you take my criticism as constructive and positive. If nobody says anything it doesn’t mean they like it, they just don’t care and move on. Thanks for your post.

thats true but linking ur bank acct is the same as "cash" which is what i was referring to; a tad unclear but most ppl get the overall point; some ppl use fuel CREDIT cards not using a cash based fuel card; just trying to get ppl to avoid using those credit fuel cards; simple as that
