Keep running into this vid, good content. Having issues with this strapping method for bigger vehicles such as your example. Bigger trucks keep moving back and forth, what to do to avoid this, straps keep coming loose due to lack of tension on movement. Thanks 🙏🏻

Appreciate that bro, for bigger vehicles I do more than just the lasso straps and use chains and binders as well.

Thank you for this video. I always had questions on how to secure a load properly. I'm definitely going to start a hotshot business and would like to know all of what I'll need to do so. Do you plan on getting your CDL? How would that benefit you more? Thanks again!

@HotshotMacc

Glad it helped bro. Yes I’m in the process of getting my CDL. It will benefit more with load options and making more money. Right now the market is saturated and everyone is starting non cdl so it’s better to get CDL even before February 2022 bc of the changes that are gonna happen.

Cool video. You inspired me to try to get into this. Non cdl Seems like a good place to start. Then move up to class a stuff down the road. I’m looking at getting a 2500 Cummins and a 32 foot trailer. Any advice?

I noticed on your Amazon equipment list that you have a 500W inverter. That kind (the cheaper ones) are modified sine wave output. The ones that you probably want to get are the pure sine wave output inverters. They cost a little more, but if you're charging laptops, rechargeable tool batteries, and other sensitive electronics, the cheaper one can damage or decrease the life expectancy of those devices. I recommend spending a bit more and not losing any sleep over it.

It gets better over time once you get more efficient. Unfortunately there’s no way around it .

I’m new in hot driving and I’m learning a lot from you. Can you tell a difference in the way the truck drives if you are loaded closer to front of the trailer rather than towards the back on the axles? ( majority of the weight on the axles)

@HotshotMacc

Just trying to weight my options with doing cdl hotshot compared to non-cdl! Can you do a scale video? Thanks for your help!

@HotshotMacc

Great idea I should do a scale video. But honestly the way things are now with rates being so bad and so many getting into the industry, I say go in with a CDL set up. I can scale up to 9 or 10k lbs on my trailer and still be under. But having the option to go heavier would give me more options. Thanks for the feedback bro and sorry for the delayed response.

I started with what I had which was a 2500 truck and I don't have a CDL. So it worked out for me to get my foot in, before I make bigger investments. Also if you are starting up with no experience its not bad to go to school to get a CDL.

Whats the reasoning behind twisting the straps when you tighten them down?

@evasquez4217

2 жыл бұрын

If you don’t twist the strap you will hear a humming sound or the strap will flap the entire trip (very annoying). If it hums or flaps during the trip, the straps are more likely to come loose.
