I just started to look into hotshotting and I stumbled upon your older videos from 2 years ago. Out of curiosity on how you’re doing, I decided to check your newer videos. My goodness how your business has grown! Amazing! Even your personality is different. You seemed humble and nervous, now you’re so confident and you’re a pro! Congratulations!
Man that’s awesome to hear! Not everyone can view it that way. We’ve definitely come a long way and it has not been an easy road, we just continue to believe and put the hard work in and always remain a student to the game. Thank you for this feedback, it was definitely needed 🙏🏽🫡💯
Sick set up maccatron in full effect…. Always teaching the community… thank you for that 🫡🫡 that A/C is fire man no more heat 😂
Much Love my brother! It took some time but Maccatron is definitely in full effect now thankfully 🙏🏽 and hell yeah bro that AC is everything now 😮💨🫡💯
The Shocker Hitch. I have one of those for towing my boat, I love it!!!!!
Love the setup! You are still going, great to see brother 💯
Appreciate it!!
i have so much to learn. appreciate the knowledge
Loving this.
Great video and awesome rig setup.. Not a hotshotter but like watching other successful people showing their business off. Keep it real.. thumbs up man!
Thanks bro! I appreciate the support 💯💪🏽
Best hotshot setup i ever seen.
🔥💯 RESPECT
Much love bro I put some work in for this setup. Nuff respect 💪🏽🫡💯
Very informative! Awesome video!
Appreciate it bro! Glad you liked it!
That’s what’s good, man! Love the setup! I’ve been doing a lot of researching myself but I just need a chance in life to succeed. If you need a driver for that no cdl truck…on my kids I’ll be the one for you. God bless! Stay safe!🙏🏽
I appreciate that brother! If I ever put that truck back on the road I will definitely let everyone know for sure! Stay blessed bro 🫡💯
Now, that's a good video!!!
I used a fan, but the milwaukee battery operated fan. That way my m18 batteries would stay rotated in use when needed for tools.
Thanks bro! And I definitely need to get me a battery operated fan for sure! Thanks for that! 🫡💯
When I was trying to avoid tint for DOT I used to take and cutout an 8" drop in visor for the front windows. Like the semi's have but instead of aluminum they're just cut up pieces of the foil we used as window shades. Keeps a lot of the sun out and can be taken out at any time. I loved them but now that I'm out I run 5% stacked tint. Tint laws are bs. I love how much it regulates the inside temperature of the truck.
Man that’s smart bro! I got me a lil window shade that I put up when the sun is beaming lol but yeah bro the tint regulations are out of control. Appreciate the feedback bro!
love the setup bro keep doing what yall doing.
Thanks brotha! Will do 🫡💪🏽💯
Yes bredda love that
Best hot shot set up I've seen so far
Bless up
Respect 🙏🏽🫡
Love your setup. It’s so sweet 🥹 and lit 🔥
Thanks bro 🫡💯
Been following you from the beginning and you’ve come along way. I have now entered the hotshot industry since all my box trucks are running smoothly. I will continue to follow for tips and tricks. Blessings brother. And info would be greatly appreciated. Running a non-cdl set up.
Appreciate the support from day 1 bro 🙏🏽🫡💯. Welcome to the hotshot lane, sounds like you are growing and that awesome man! My advice would be to work towards getting your CDL but until then build your contact list. Learn the partial game, hopefully you have a 40ft trailer. Rates aren’t so great right now so being patient is key. Negotiate every load even if it’s paying good. Go for the lightest loads paying the most money. It will be a challenge but you have to hustle and know where to put your equipment. Keep growing and stay safe out there 🫡💯
Been watching you guys for a minute, finally applied for my authority last week. You guys have been an inspiration! Love your setup. Can you do a vid on filling out BOLs properly (tips etc. I know some brokers won't want to pay if receiver signature/info is not properly on it)?
Appreciate the love and support Fred! Congratulations on making that step for the authority! That’s actually a great idea to do a video on BOLs and other paperwork involved!
Setup is awesome
Appreciate it! It’s been a blessing 🙏🏽
Very impressive. You are playing with the big boys with that setup. I always fought weight issues as my tractor is heavy so wonder what you net you can carry?
That’s a siiick trailer 👍
Thanks bro I love it 🙏🏽🫡
Macc Man good seeing you Bro! Let's get it!! Ken!! Oh!!
Much love Ken we still out here grinding brother 🙏🏽💪🏽🫡
Ok, good!! I'll be out there grinding soon. Working on my authority now!! I will be retired in months time!! I'll be seeing you out here real soon!! Grinding with creativity!! Take care Bro!! See you on the next video!! ✌🏿💪🏿Be safe!! Ken!! Oh!!
Nice!! 💪🏾
Nice setup. I would be interested in the numbers such as empty axle weights, gross capacity, cost vs pickup truck with smaller trailer
, mpg ect. Seems like this set up really fills a sweet spot between noon-cdl or even the the rigs just into the cdl range and a full semi with step deck.
Thanks Dan and not a bad idea, I’m gonna try to make that happen. Ill share that info soon.
Another banger! Love the drone clips alwaysalso I will be using your link to get those window shades. Those look quality!
yoo baby lion love your vids man and this man macc too yall keep it up
Much appreciated bro!! Get them shades man they are worth every penny!
@@charlessyoutubeaccountthanks for the support Charles!
Great set up
Thanks bro!
❤Mac in da house yeah
Much love brotha!
Everything looks good, man. I will give you a little advice from experience. That little small fire extinguisher won't do c*** In 2019my truck caught on fire In Missouri I had the same Fire extinguisher it last for 3 seconds. If it wasn't for the road crew working Across the street, my truck and trailer and load Wood have burnt up. Get you three 10 pound fire extinguishers. That's what it took to put my fire out on my engine.
Man that’s great advice! I’m going to consider getting more now just in case!! Sorry to hear that about the truck but good to hear the crew was there to help and reduce the severity of the situation 💪🏽🫡💯
Man O MAN Macc, you have come along way my friend. Proud of ya!!✅️ About your A/C. Should have use the rear cabin vent behind the rear seat for exhaust and drainage. No holes need to drill. 😮
Appreciate it Fritz! I thought about using them but routing the vents there would take away from my storage space.
I’d wrap the vent tubes with something to keep the heat inside the tubes. Make it more efficient 👍
Nice mods bro congrads.
Thanks!
Very nice setup, i have that same ac and it gets cold !! I set mine on the console at night, and take it down in the morning. Do you ever wish you wouldve went with a sleeper truck from Roadmaster ? I use mine for personal so that wasnt really an option, I'm thinking my next truck will be a single axle semi with a sleeper, Im tired of crawling in the back seat lol, enjoy your day and keep posting !
Thanks Man, 🙏🏽
I am pretty ok with the current choice. Next set up will definitely be a Semi with a sleeper.
I respect the set up you have and you're happy with it, but did you ever look into the Roadmaster conversions that they have for trucks like yours? A crew cab with the sleeper will give you some more room for your cooler and getting dressed in the morning. 😁 Maybe when you have some down time you can look at them for giggles. Maybe your next truck. 😁 If I see you up here in Kansas or on the road, coffee's on me. Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into Roadmaster conversions for future reference. Appreciate your support and the offer for coffee if our paths cross in Kansas or on the road! Take care and safe travels!
very nice… I run a similar setup; 4500 w/ a diamond C… I also run a EcoFlow wave 2 exhaust out the window, couldn’t handle putting holes in the floor. will run until the warranty (200k) is gone then upgrade to a semi/step deck
Thanks bro!! Sounds like you got a dope setup. You running a stepdeck or the fmax? And great plan brother, stay safe out there and keep them wheels turning 🫡💯
@@HotshotMacc fmax; step deck would be nice. always looking to optimize. Your vids are a great resource! Appreciate ur efforts
Bro I just got my cdl 6 months ago been trying to decide weather the semi or the hotshot is the way to go and I’m just caught on the availability of having work and is the time right to get started ?
Hey my man, who are you using for your trucking insurance and about how much a month can i expect to pay? TIA Jack
Hey Macc you do an awesome job. I'm Adrian and I'm from Indiana and I help a friend of mine deliver campers and sometimes we deliver cars old restored cars but I want to go on my own because I love doing it but I'm not in a financial situation to get started. I'm going to get me a truck soon but I do have a 16' enclosed trailer and the back door is a ramp so what can I do to get started with the 16' trailer? Thanks man your awesome thank you.
Hey bro thanks!! Man I’m honestly not sure what you could do with that trailer. Maybe start out doing some local work. I’m not into car hauling too much so I can’t say too much about it. But look into maybe hauling some vehicles locally or even regional and start saving up.
Hey Mac quick question. First I love your setup. I just want to know. What do you enter in your eld when you are unloading and loading. 2nd question is when unloading and loading does that go against your drive time.
Hey brother! Thanks man! When I load and unload I go “on duty” and in the notes type “load or unload”. You load an unload time will only count against your drive time if you’ve used the 3hr difference between your 14hr shift and your drive time. Hope that helps bro 🫡💯
@@HotshotMacc thanku!!!
Damn that’s alotta $$$
It might be a lot but if it let me keep going, I see it as an investment.
That top deck open up opportunities for you man? Thinking about adding one to my 40 ft trailer but not sure.
It has opened opportunities. Not as much as a stepdeck would bc of the hight restrictions. But I’ve been able to put a few loads up there. Just have to get specific measurements from the broker or shipper. I also like it for storage.
Nice set up. How does the 5500 run on gas empty compared to a 3500? Also does it pull empty containers noticeably better then the 3500?
Thanks bro, with the trailer having the deck over the neck, empty I get about 9mpg. I did one container but it wasn’t a normal container. It was a modified container that was about 12ft high. Went about 150 miles with it and got about 7mpg with it weighing 15k lbs. I have the 4:44 gears so it did pretty well. I believe some 3500s see similar fuel mileage with the 3:73 gears and some less with the 4.10 gears.
Macc, you doing your thing. Looking into hotshot107, thanks. Where are the gooseneck rentals
Thanks bro! Right now the only place I know with rental trailers is Happy Trailers.
@@HotshotMacc I'm really grateful for this, checking it out now. Stay up family, looking forward being equally helpful...get at me
Pretty good set up
Where did you get that trailer/?
Thanks! I got it from Happy Trailers in Waco, Texas! Leroy is the man!
Hey macc im doing something similar but for car hauling what weight did you register your truck at? Truck+ trailer rating? Or something different?
Nice bro! I’m registered at 45,400.
What do you scale out at empty? It's a very nice set up
I’m scaling about 23k empty. I can’t fully remember exactly. Thanks bro 💯🫡
I have a question That new replacement trailer can i call Happy trailers and ask for the same trailer you have if possible
Hey bro most definitely! Call Happy and speak to Leroy or Randy and they’ll take care of you
would the "perfect" setup basically be the same thing except with the same trailer being a step deck?
For me yup!
H-Town Checking in with you Bro
Whats good my brother! How you managing out here?
@@HotshotMacc Everything is going good man I can't complain Brother I got a nice little local gig I'm been working on for the past couple of months down near Texas City, I'm going to hit you on your email man and send you my number man so we can link up for lunch or something next time you're back in Houston for a couple of days
@@cadillac8927 man I’m glad to hear it! Those relationships are everything right now. Send that email bro or call the office, the number is on our website. We definitely gotta get together 🫡💯

Hello Macc
Thanks for the video. I have a question hotshot needs LLC. Thanks
Hey bro, thanks! Yes if you are going to be running your own authority you would need an LLC. But check with your CPA to set up you company to match how you will operate.
Thank you so much 🙏
Do you know what size your wheel caps are? Or the part number?
I have no clue, my bad! If you call a ram dealership parts department they’ll tell you the part number. I do it all the time when Im searching for something.
Your should of done a spread axle so there can be more weight on the trailer
Yeah I should have. But this is working great for what I’m doing.
We don’t get paid for weight, just remember that
Let me take an apprentice ride
Should I go llc or scorp for my business?
We went LLC based on how we plan to grow. I would definitely check with a CPA to see what’s going to be best for your situation. More than likely you will go LLC in the beginning then Scorp when you start to grow.
Does that hotshot CM bed automatically make your truck classified as a tractor? I kept getting hemmed up running a 40 foot with a pickup bed. I was exceeding 65 foot in total length.
My setup was classified as truck trailer not a tractor trailer..they told me I couldnt have a truck bed becase even if its empty its considered cargo carrying on the power unit.... therefore a truck & not a tractor...... I was also instructed I needed a 5th wheel connection and not a gooseneck but I see literally everyone running a pickup bed and 40 foot or longer.... wtf.
3 different states stopped me to warn me I was in 65 foot violation.
Hey bro, yes my custom tractor bed allows me to register the set up as a tractor allowing me to ignore the 65ft rule. Most of the hotshot setups with a 40ft are over 65ft if you have mega ramps. If you remove the bed you can register it as a tractor and not have to worry about that 65ft nonsense. Ive been hearing a lot of ppl getting hemmed up by DOT bc of it.
@HotshotMacc Thanks for the reply and info! Stay safe out there!
Tim, did you research that emission issue? Ken!! Oh!!
Got the truck looked at Ken and still not able to pin point the issue. I did a service on the EGR cooler, DPF and more and the issue seems to have gone down but still happens once in a while
Ok, keep in touch! We will figure it out!! ✌🏿🙏Ken!! Oh!! 👍🏾
How about buy a normal truck lik a cascadia or volvo
How about I do what I choose to do for me
Could’ve bought a Peterbuilt and rentouir trailer.
Yeah buts that’s not what happened.
Is your truck 4x4 or 4x2?
4x4 bro
How many nights a month do you sleep in your own bed?
Lately I been sleeping in my bed at least 4 days a week
Do you ride with your lady? Will 2 people fit fine or is it a 1 person operation?
She came with me many times but it is a challenge every time. Space is tight in these trucks. It’s more ideal for a 1 person operation but many make 2 work. Just depends on how you guys make it work.
Lol 150k🥴🥴mannnn I wanna invest in this. Get a business auto loan, get a 5500, get a driver and dispatch. Am I thinkin right?
Get it used for half the price
@@kingmach1621 how many miles is too many? I see a 2019 at $57k wit 88k miles. Another 2021 $56k at 50k miles.
@@trevey16 all those seem really fresh if say nothing over 80k for reliability. But if your mechanically inclined you can get one with a bit more miles. $50k isn't bad for those miles and you don't really need a 5500 to do the job. Really look into the 3500 high output they can tow more than the 5500

Don’t waste your money on those hub caps bro
I’m getting them installed right now as we speak lol but why you say that? I like the option to change out my oil without having to remove the cap and they are more durable.
that aint 150 if you lucky maybe 60
Ok
That's crazy if you spent that kind of m9ney on a pickup and trailer
Yeah that would be crazy in a market like this but thankfully its worth the 150k but I didn’t spend that
Bro you don't even have a sleeper like I seen in some other better hotshot setups. Took you years to buy a good a/c. How you gonna say ultimate when 2 people can't sleep comfortably in that truck.
Highly doubt is a 150k setup when truck is a tradesmen lol and is only around 70k.
Lol. You must have watched the video and not listen but I get it, everyone’s attention span varies. I clearly stayed “MY”. I’m not comparing my setup to anyone else with a sleeper or what they got. And this isn’t a semi nor does it have a sleeper so yeah it’s not going to be as comfortable for 2. That’s obvious. Not sure why it matters to you when I got an ac unit 🤣 Another irrelevant statement hence the reason I’ve now stated this is my ultimate setup. One thing your right about is, it is a tradesman that was 70k but what you aren’t aware of is the taxes, extended warranties and other expenses like the custom bed build on the chassis. So before you go around on UA-cam with assumptions and unnecessary comments, get your facts straight and leave the hate in your truck or whatever it is your doing. 😎
@@HotshotMacc YOU GOING TO ADD WHAT YOU SPEND ALSO ON FOOD LOL

How have the boards been
Lol
Been great for us with having the different options on the trailer. Allows us to negotiate better and take other loads that a basic hotshot cannot take. Of course rates are messed up so we do feel the effect but we’ve been able to sustain with the boards and our contacts.
