Another great video. Congratulations on your daughter! I've got 4 also, youngest almost 13. Glad you're having so much success that's great to hear. Hope to see ya on the road. Dan
I've just started looking at different stuff for polishing. My main concern was getting this thing squared away mechanically and fixing those pesky air and wiring issues. I like the idea of getting an air powered one. Would be better than constantly going through the battery on my ryobi grinder
@@CrossbuckRVTransport agree with that fact, however on the full size truck when parked at a truck stop. Some of these new drivers will come in at a angle depending on the parking situation and boom, your mirror goes by by, especially if they have a hang over on pipes, wood or even a RV. ✌️. Congrats on your new family member 👏
@fritzduval they will catch my trailer before they catch those mirrors, unless they're really talented lmao 🤣 But I do see your point, and pray it's never an issue
Thank you! And it's just the 75 Chrome Shop in house polish. Picked some up in person but you can also buy it online. I'm not 100% sold on it, just want to try some others as well.
Well, those are the only 2 carriers that care about stacks so that's how I "get away with it" lol. I actually didn't know Horizon has a policy against that now. Bennett has always been against it, but they pay really well and have a lot of freight, so if they're your first choice I'd consider putting on a ground burner. But if you're not wanting to go that route, Synergy, Mapletree, Indiana Transport, and many others have no issue with trucks with stacks.
@@nickaltvater5592 I think that is a great idea. Many carriers do not even lease drivers on in December. The manufacturers are about to enter the winter shutdown, usually about 2 weeks or so from just before Christmas until after Jan 1. But there should be plenty of companies looking for drivers come mid January, even those who do not care about stacks. I wish you the best of luck in 2025 and if you ever want to discuss further, I'd be happy to get you some more info through email. Take care and stay safe!
Trailer model is 53SDAR which is exactly what it spells, 53' Stepdeck Air-Ride. Not super creative but it does the trick lol. It's manufactured locally by Shipshe Trailers in Shipshewana, IN
Carrier provides the outbound loads, but drivers self dispatch over the phone or email based on the loads that are available. Some even have a loadboard app you can book on. Cars and other reloads usually come from online load boards and through customers or brokers on Central Dispatch. Once booked by the driver, the carrier dispatchers will make up BOLs and email them over.
No I do not. I am leased to a carrier, which is about 90% of what drivers do in this industry. There are a few who go out and get their own authority and usually get small contracts with dealerships instead of the big manufacturer contracts.
A $130,000 pickup truck should be transported by an enclosed trailer not an open trailer. Putting it on an open trailer is just looking for a damage claim.
While I can't argue with that logic... the only enclosed trailers that these trucks would fit in are the tractor trailer style that those like Reliable Transportation use. And given their size, I'd imagine they probably charge too much for that option to be feasible as it would take up at least 3 spots in their trailer due to height and length. These trucks have been going on open deck trailers since Tuscany Motor Co. inception back in 1988, so I trust their judgement as well as my own cargo management skills.
Thank you! And to answer your question, I have a lease purchase agreement for my trailer from my carrier. They want a minimum payment of $1500/mo and that comes in the form of a 30cpm deduction on all outbound freight and 10cpm on all reload freight. In my first month, I ran enough that I ended up paying $2500, and I hope to continue that trend so I can pay it off in about 2 years instead of the 3 it would take at the monthly minimum.
@gr74inc37 I don't know the details, but from what I remember the Horizon lease isn't a LP deal, it's just a convention lease. And 3 years was rounding up, my trailer which was new, was $49k. So 33 months technically.
Thanks for the comment. I've said time and time again on this channel that I use the term interchangeably with the term reload. But in all honesty backhaul is more accurate. Because you will never find a reload paying as well as the outbound loads in this industry.
Congratulations on the baby man! They’re a blessing!
Thank you! They all definitely are and this one was truly a blessing. She wasn't planned by us but I won't argue with the Lord's plan for us

Congrats on the baby man!!!
Thanks man! We're feeling blessed right now
I have been enjoying your videos I drove over the road for about three years back in the late 80's and early 90's
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoy it!
Have you taken the opportunity to walk over to the museum at the I-80 truck stop - well worth the time
Yes I have. I even had the chance last year to go out with the whole family. The kids especially had a blast checking out all of the trucks

You should always always tuck away vehicle mirrors on a trailer, especially a full size truck 😮
Thanks for the comment! Mirrors really only need to be folded in if you're hauling them backwards. Otherwise it's just driver preference.

Whats the name of the stuff you used on the rims?

@CrossbuckRVTransport thank you!
How do you get away with having a stack?
Neither Bennets nor Horizon will allow a truck with a stack. Bennets is/was my first choice
Well, those are the only 2 carriers that care about stacks so that's how I "get away with it" lol. I actually didn't know Horizon has a policy against that now. Bennett has always been against it, but they pay really well and have a lot of freight, so if they're your first choice I'd consider putting on a ground burner.

@CrossbuckRVTransport guess I chose the ones that don't like my truck 😕.
I'm going to wait until next year before signing on.

What make and model trailer is that? Does your carrier dispatch you?
Trailer model is 53SDAR which is exactly what it spells, 53' Stepdeck Air-Ride. Not super creative but it does the trick lol. It's manufactured locally by Shipshe Trailers in Shipshewana, IN

I use To Kick All Tiers.
been fixing up a 2016 shipshe wiring is the same and i have the awsome toraflex #14 if you know not fun
Can't say I've ever heard a good thing about those lol. Godspeed on the work you're doing for that thing!
🎉🎉🎉
Another kid? Sounds you need to spend more time driving! 😂
Can't drive too much or else the next kid might not be mine 🤣
do you have your own authority ?
No I do not. I am leased to a carrier, which is about 90% of what drivers do in this industry. There are a few who go out and get their own authority and usually get small contracts with dealerships instead of the big manufacturer contracts.

The customer should have paid for that if that’s what they wanted
Crossbuck rv transport do mind if I email about rv transport, looking at getting started.
@@KyleKeith-u1w Absolutely bud. You can email me at crossbucktransport@gmail.com with whatever questions you may have.
Congratulations on your daughter!!!!!
From where did you lease the trailer ? and how much are you paying monthly ?
Thank you!

@@CrossbuckRVTransport 36 x 1500$ =54000$ for the trailer , Synergy doesn't have the same lease program like Wave or Horizon has ?
@gr74inc37 I don't know the details, but from what I remember the Horizon lease isn't a LP deal, it's just a convention lease.
And 3 years was rounding up, my trailer which was new, was $49k. So 33 months technically.
There is no such thing as a back haul . Show me in the green and white book.

@CrossbuckRVTransport ah ok
