@@Blue_Sky_Hotshots thanks man! Yeah I definitely threw everyone off haha I want a step deck eventually for all the customers I gained but out here in the west reefers make good money and I’m glad you know that 👌🏼 thanks again man!!

I say Bravo Tavis!! I have a friend (female) who has been driving for about 20 years and she has her own small fleet or 4 trucks now leased to a company and all they do is reefer. She says she does very well.

@@kirktitgen2309 oh definitely, trust me a lot needs done on both truck and trailer. Gotta keep my professionalism and that means a solid looking truck/trailer. I’ve been learning to polish so it’ll all look good.

So how did u go from a non cdl single wheel trk n trl to a semi pulling a refer? Doesn't make ?? All you're customers u have made and you start over?? Why not a step deck ?

@@chrisnichols8847 almost 10 years in the industry I’ve gained a lot of knowledge with all the different types of freight I’ve hauled. Reefer is king in my region. I’ve only been at this 7 months so I haven’t gained a whole lot of customers but the ones that use me are aware I’m out of my hotshot. They are waiting on me to get a flatbed and if an emergency comes up and they need me I can rent one for a month. Already have plans setup for it. Regarding customers for the reefer, like I said, been at this long enough I know the customers for reefers all ready and who I’ve ran for before. Maintenance is irrelevant, plenty of maintenance in any setup. The beautiful thing about a reefer can is I can run dry van loads and reefer loads so my reefer won’t run all the time. It’s just the name of the game in trucking. Maintenance and over head time. “Hurry up and wait” is the trucking motto regardless of what setup you’re in

No more hotshoting why? You went trough worst already

@@Avankaurparmar I’m considering it. I have a few things to get fixed on the truck before it hits the road again. I’m debating on keeping it or selling it. Idk if I want a CDL setup if I hire someone. Got a lot to think and pray on
