I really enjoyed your video. I have watch a lot of these type of videos on Enterprise leasing and you gave more info than any of the others that I have watched. Keep up the good work on your videos and Good Luck to you.
Hey good video 👍 I like to listen to the ways people run transportation companies and try to learn something new and put a spin to it. I would just like to say that the price has been raised to $4000 down with $1000 going to enterprise off the bat. No other changes to the program other than price. Good luck 👍
Thank you so much for the information. This is what I was looking for. Hope things are going well for you. Look forward to your videos.
Natalie thanks for the info it is very helpful. Thanks for your time., from Houston, tx.....👍😎
Thank you Natalie, that was very interesting.
great stuff. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL!
Great video. I think allot of people spend to much money on new trucks starting out vs renting. I love this idea
Your doing great and providing great information. Don’t be nervous ☺️
Easier said then done! Some days I'm more comfortable recording than others... thank you
Another great video! Be safe out there!
Absolutely Awesome video. Thank you so much for how open and in depth you are.
Very logical and thought out. I have learned a lot from just watching your videos.. Thank you.
I'm glad! Thanks so much for comment
Thanks for this video, I read a comment on another video about renting a truck and that's how I ended up here.
It seems like a great way to come up with an 80k truck and trailer without deep pockets and great credit.
I will probably just buy the truck adter 60k miles.
I'm only 8 hours away from them down here in Tennessee.
You are amazing!! This video really helped me A LOT!! Thank you so much!!
Great info. Thanks for taking the time and posting this. 👍😎
Mishawaka, Indiana I loved living there. Had 2 kids while there. Everyone there is so nice.
I worked just north of there in Niles, mi. Nice people
Great video! Seems you have a very good head on your shoulders! I think it's very cool you are doing this as a business! Would love to do that myself, after all I do love driving anyway, right! Good luck!
You are amazing. I never have thought of leasing.
Evening enjoyed your video and information you put out there's a enterprise in Jacksonville Florida that's doin the same thing or at least was doin it also congrats on bein a hot shot...I have plans on doin this once I'm finished with my military obligation be safe out there and look forward to more videos
do you remember which one? I looked into it awhile back but cant remember which one
Great video !! Thanks for all the info
You have provided the most information I've seen on this subject so far.
From what you presented, this seems to be a valid alternative for new Drivers. Gives the Driver some time to save up for a down payment and build a maintenance account for a future truck.
The Insurance strategy is something I didn't know about. That's really cool.
So you can buy the truck at the end of the rental agreement. That's an option, especially if the truck is running great and you have gotten to know the quirks of the vehicle.
🙏😃
Thank you postting this very informative video. You did a great job explaining the rental program. I did not know you had an option to buy after the lease was up. Thanks
Great info 👍Thanks for sharing, Natalie!
Most welcome
Good video... I'm going Wit enterprise also.. The benefit really comes in if you stay in the business after a year then the benefit of the enterprise rental cost wise starts to make more sense
It's whatever you think is best for you. I kind of look at it as renting a house or buying a house. If you have the ability to buy, it may be a wise decision, most people don't stay renting a home because they don't want to deal with the upkeep of maintaining a home of their own. Some people do, but the majority I would say, would prefer to buy.
Excellent info.
This the most informative video on I have seen on this subject. Kudos.
Thanks for the upload. To clarify, after the initial 60K and you return the vehicle
Ok that was perfect! Thank you so much! 🧾 🤯. All you other UA-camrs this is how you explain hotshot through Enterprise.Thanks again.
Wow, thanks!
Hotshot Adventures It was just so straightforward and clear you didn’t have to guess about anything but exactly how much you need but that’s your business LOL, you gave us numbers that anyone that knows how to do math and figure it out, kinda but your a cool chick I think ima roll the dice and buy a older semi with a much lower price tag on my own and try to get an extra ordinary good insurance program, with an extremely lower monthly payment for buying a semi I am in a different situation because I have a CDL A license I don’t care about weight but the school that I went to was paid for by the state and they did not care whether or not I could drive the truck so I must drive a automatic semiI’m going to roll the dice and it’s been about 20 grand on a used automatic semi with very very good full coverage insurance with extra perks to try to fix all the problems that may occur but I am not going to spend that much money to not worry about Breakdowns and things of that nature I’m not a mechanic but I am mechanically inclined and I will put my knowledge to the test with this endeavor and I thank you so much for your input you’re amazing for putting these things out because people don’t do stuff like this in this type of detail. Much happiness and successfulness to you if that’s a word to you and your family! Make that money!Did you drive 10,000 miles in one month alone on your own?
@@Samil101 Thank you! And all the best to you in finding the truck you want - hope it treats you well. Yeck yeah, I drove every one of those miles I paid for from that rental! 10K miles I did 2 different months with that rental program. I try to keep it around 8k every month though..
Great video awesome content I checked into it myself in without insurance it was almost $4000 a month for a 1 ton Dooley
Yep
Great video, I'm also here in SoCal, I'm considering Hot Shot if I can't land a good job soon, I've done car transport with a 3 car hauler in the past so I know what it takes to be on the road but now a have a family so I have to figure that part out....Tow Piglet also has a video about the same program with enterprise, he does mention that the rental program is expensive in the short term, he also mentions about the benefits on the long term rental per mile.... he does run about 10k miles per month and he does cross country runs.... very similar to what Nat is talking about here.
He also makes sure he isnt just doing a partial run.. he will sit days somwhere, just to fill his trailer.. before deadheading 1000 miles. He is alos on the road.. more then then normal hotshot driver too. Man has he had ALOT of trailer axle/tire problems.. lol
I'm a trucker. I've done both hot shot and big rig. I'm telling you straight up. Start cleaning your credit. ( if you need to, you might not) if not then start saving 50 to 100 a week. In 14 to 18 months you can afford a used truck. And be able to be picky about the truck. You said you got a family now. Your gonna miss a loooot of family time out here. So enjoy it while you can. Once you start making trucker money. Its hard to make anything else. Why spend 6 to 8 k on a lease plus hidden charges. And be told when you can go home. When you can own and be home on special occasion s like birthdays and graduations and yada
Love this Thanks
Very Good info. seems like you really think things out. That makes for good business. keep the videos coming.sorry about your family member
Thanks, will do!
Good video Natalie
Thanks Alex! It was you who showed me to the Enterprise program, and many others I'm sure.
Alex is the King of Enterprise long term truck rental
I am thinking of doing it only two weeks per month. Do u think I will reach 5000 miles in two weeks of hot shot and two weeks as personal car? Do u think that’s worthy ? By the way the other two weeks I will have good income from another flexible job. Thank yoy
@@vivabarca2009 Hey bud, it depends on your region and where you plan on hauling loads. Average mileage per week I would say between 2000-2500, so if you are just using the truck for 2 weeks out of the month, you will probably reach 5K miles, and its best to stay right at that 5K miles, because if you use more than that every month, the rental gets expensive, in my opinion.
This the dame faye @towPiglet was talking about, that she hooked him up with a Charger for his driver when he broke down!! Nice to know!!!
thanks for that video
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for the info. I'm from Mishawaka area and had no clue.
I think you would want to pay off that $60,000 truck in 3 years because you are putting about 96,000 miles on in a year at 8,000 a month. With $10,000 down your monthly payment would be around $1,500 a month. Not sure what I would do, but you sure should save a lot of money for breakdowns even if you had a $1,500 payment. Can't wait to see your numbers again after you have been running with a truck you bought. Thanks for all the great info you are sharing.
Good video I've heard a few videos but they never stated $700 unrefundable for the tax like you did thank you
Awesome info!
How are those tires working out for you?
we rented trucks from Indianapolis we was their first and longest hot shot renter until we left spring 2020 we did it for 3 years and it was great cost 32k a year to rent no maintenance at all was perfect for hot shots
Is that insurance included?
@@jhonnicash5958 truck was 100% covered under them and price was built into the rental fee that is not the insurance required to have dot numbers and cover cargo that is truck coverage only
I am from California
Are they going to provide the trailer and truck mam?
Awesome program, if you’re over 700 credit score you can get $0 down 100% financing on a new truck. I bought mine through Lithia with the lifetime Synthetic Oil Changes. Works at any Lithia Dealership in the US and Canada.
Thank you for sharing this as me and a friend are looking to start doing this staying below the 26.000 lbs mark to not have to deal with CDL right away. once we get going ill see about getting it anyway as it will give us a bigger pool to work with
Congrats and good luck !
How'd it all go? It's been a year and your comment is exactly where I'm at.
@@tabunga4669 how did it go for you??
Also, if you have to pick up the truck in Indiana, you might as well pick up the trailer there as well and start hauling form there day one!
Already have a trailer? Then sign up and haul a mobile home, or some other trailer back to near where you live!
Trailers need to be moved from the manufacturer to the sales lot, right?
If you are going to drive 2000+ miles to drive home, why not get paid to do it?
If I'm driving someplace I had much rather get paid for doing it.
Great video ☺️
Such a good soul 🥰
Caffeinated AF!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
THATS RIGHT 💥🤩😆
You're the first one that's mentioned the State Tax. Thanks for that info!
Well, I see it like this, if I have to pay IN State tax, 7%, that's like purchasing a truck and paying an APR of 7%, it's 7% off the top either way; both are a write off at the end of the year, but, if you purchase, you have a truck after making all those payments.
@@HotshotAdventures I'm not sure how 7% on a per mile basis. (i.e. $200 per month on 10k miles) equates to an APR of 7% for a loan. Edit, Maybe I mis-heard, is it 7% of the total bill? Sorry.
Also, based on the numbers I've run, if you keep up with the scheduled maintenance on a new truck and run it 120k per year, the costs are almost the same as renting, plus you get a new truck every 60k miles. If you bought a truck and ran it for 3 or 4 years, it would be worth virtually nothing in the end.
@@JeffSwal enterprise charges 7% Indiana State tax on the total bill, so my February bill was $2450, then tax was $172, bringing my total invoice for February $2628.95
Going off your mileage for a year of 120k x .22 per mile = $26,400 per year. Then add on 7% tax and Indiana plates charges for 12 months, you're looking at another $2,000. So for 1 year of running you're paying estimate $28,400, nearly $30k. If you go with the rental. Multiply $30,000 per year by 4 years, that's paying out $120,000 to run in a truck that costs $60,000 to purchase.
I truly believe it is a matter of preference, and there are pros and cons to both sides of that coin. Its been a good program for me overall. Are you doing a rental through Enterprise?
@@HotshotAdventures Thanks for clearing that up. The numbers work.
No, I'm looking at getting into Hotshotting next year. I drove OTR a few years back so I have some experience.
Thanks again for all the great info!
@Old timer hot shot Hey there, thanks. I was looking at getting into it next year after the job I have now ends. But the more I looked the more I'm thinking better of it. We'll see what happens I guess. Good luck out there!
Our Penske day cab rental price just went up to 1100 a week, so 1100 a month sounds not too bad!
1100.00 is minimum charge. If you run 10k a month it’s 2300.00. For a basic ford or ram 58-60k truck.
I see you have 2 blue heelers we love them. Axel our blue heeler is the bomb
I love them too!
Looks like my female is going to give us Christmas babies...if you're in the market for another! 😍
Best of luck I wish for you
enterprise in Tigard Oregon does it too
Can you send me the info on the tigard Oregon store ... Thank you
@@JesusGomez-jd7iv I don’t have there number but it’s in Tigard Oregon
good job
Very informative video! Thank you!
Question...
When your lease I'd up and they offer you to buy the truck with a 10% discount how much is that? Do you have an example of a truck you was using that and how much you paid on the lease and how much was the offer to buy with the 10% off?
If you decided to buy it do you continue paying them for the truck or do you have to pay cash or get a bank loan?
Thanks for the info.
Hi nice video, thank you we learn something every day.. One question, Does it include the trailer????
Just the cost of renting truck
love my enterprise rental truck! we have a 2020 ram 2500 but we use it for rv transport. cool video, keep up the good work!
3/4 ton. How is that? Would a 1 ton be better?
@@alexmalm6406 i love it. We do non CDL RV transport so I can't go over 26001lbs. The 3/4 ton has a lower gvwr (8500lbs) compared to a 1 ton which is 12,700lbs.
@@ThatNomadicCouple thx. Fifth wheel or bummer pull?
@@alexmalm6406 we do both
Question - We are renting through enterprise but need the insurance requirements to start our own authority. Do they offer this general liability and cargo? Can I use that EOI (evidence of insurance) to apply for my own authority?
I’m just going to say I got my cclb 2019 f350 lariat 4x4 6.7 for well under 1100 a month my truck new was only 67 an that’s 8 years or 150000 miles bumper to bumper warranty with road side assistance I got my truck with 8 miles on it you don’t need to spend 100k on a truck to get started
More video.. good advice
You killed the maintenance aspect/issue.
In 19' I spent 22k on maintenance for the year. If you can do trucking, minus the maintenance bill, your as lean as possible for your overhead.👍
@@bryonsusedautos lol 22k wtf
Enterprise has it figured in. They rent for profit. They do bare minimum maintenance. Don’t change air filters. Oil every 10k, fuel every 20k. There not truck with max tow package.
It's been a long time since I've rented a truck for business so I don't remember how the tax worked. But I'd get an Indiana sales tax exemption form and read it closely. You might be able to get those taxes returned from the state. Do you have your own MC #? I've never had to pay sales tax in Pa NJ, DE, WV, or NY on anything for my business.
its a great point you bring up Cindy - thank you
Ok review but Tow Piglet has good informative videos on Enterprise rental as well. Indiana is not only location that does truck rental. He found this out later as well. Also He has reviews on multiple rentals. I believe he is on his 4th Enterprise truck. Hes had 2 Rams and is on his 2nd Ford. Hes done vehicle turn in / pickup videos and breaks down all costs of oil changes, tires etc.
Who else is doing the long term rental and where?
who else is doing the truck rental?
Like your cup!
Hi. So do you need an extra insurance to be able to work or with the one from enterprise you can be on the road?? Tks
Being in the navy and inspecting vehicles as military police roll..I seen tons of these enterprise rentals from box trucks to hot shot trucks...bunch of these guys delivering frieght for different companies..I would ask why they had rental vehicles and they said their company has a busy peak season and don't have enough trucks for all the drivers they hired so they rent a lot. I've seen Amazon using enterprise too..so yea there has to be a bunch just in California..a quick search they are some in Fresno California as well..
Not sure if anyone has asked, but do any Texas Enterprise stores offer this program?
hi Nathaly you are wonderfull tks for the info was great
Great and very informative video!! The plates from Indiana Enterprise.. are they apportioned/can be used to haul? Since its an Indiana truck can you commercially insure in IN?
Good question
I removed the Indiana plates and purchased apportioned plates while I ran that truck. I removed them when I returned.
Great vid. I personally buy . Enterprise are stripped basic trucks. I run laramies with factory air ride ( saves them tires) them heated and cooled seats the drivers like on a frosty day and my company delmonico red color . Enterprise covers maintenance but I have a pm program for maintenance and tires.
And I stole a dodge ram mechanic that likes them after hour weekend 💰💰 repairs. But keep it going girl bet you like them dedicated accounts over the BS load boards. Keep knocking on doors it's the only way to be profitable.
Hi Natalie!! I'm in southern California. Are there hotshot loads out of or around California?? Thanks in advance!
If every Woman was like this one. There would be no wars, no gangs, no hungry people, on and on! GOD BLESS!
And very few divorces.
Yeah yeah...women don't start stuff" we just finish it . Thats why women aren't presidents yet " we know how to handle nonsense " better' Hence Most males.failing at it 😅
Dually? Or whatever they have available
hey, where did you get your CDL?
Excellent info. So what happens if you break down? Will they get you another truck with a 5th wheel hitch? What kind of downtime would there be?
Good question, please direct them to enterprise. I dont have the details.
i am in the process of opening my hotshot company and just find out that the program is no longer on for new customers thats sad because i was really hopping to go that route if anybody know any other place to get the same deal or similar please let me know thanks
Good video! What level of CDL do you need? CDL A or B? No one ever mentions this. Thanks.
I have a class a. The only difference between a class c, and a class b license is class b means you are endorsed for air brakes. With class b you still must remain under 26,000 lbs.
Once you get into class a, the weight restriction is lifted.
Each of these Enterprise Truck Centers are owned by different people. So it depends on the owner as to what he or she will offer. The Enterprise in my area has the same program for commercial businesses licensed in my state. The rates here seem a bit higher, and the insurance is really high. In the end, it's cheaper for a guy to buy a truck and pay 1500$ per month payment and not deal with the stress and rules of Enterprise.
What about maintenance and stuff does it add up
@@brandond5657 If you take care of the truck and don't abuse it, the cost are very low for maintenance. I keep my rigs under 65mph and my main cost is just changing oil and replacing tires for snow in winter.
@@intlcounty8571 thanks
So first I must have a cdl for. This program I have to. Put 3700 and I have no problem with Maintanance mam? What about the load are they going to give and dot and llc is with enterprise?
So, are you now buying a new truck?
What level truck can you get
Do they rent high roof cargo vans for expediting.
What program mam? So do I have to have my truck and the dot and llc will be from enterprise?
Purchase price plus all the fuel & Insurances & Taxesmight be how much?
$3,000 minus fuel & Insurances & Taxes IS?
Do you hotshot first year authority get hit really hard on general liability and cargo like the class 8 trucks?
Worse
So does the truck come with the hitch for the gooseneck trailer or do you have to have it installed?
Yes
a link to enterprise would be helpful
Where are these oil change prices coming from? A 2.5 gal jug of rotella T4 is $33 at walmart and a M1 filter is ~$10, oil change done for under $50.
2 fuel filters around 100$
10W-30 oil 65$ 3 gallons
@@vvragov GM trucks only have 1 fuel filter and you can get it for under 25 bucks. I can do my oil and fuel filter change for under 70 bucks.
Everyone tries to justify enterprise. Come on everyone enterprise is a rental company. If they can be profitable at .23 a mile why can’t you be? If you apply the numbers to your self you can do the same, but you have to buy a plain basic low end truck like enterprise offers. Even the junk rail system for your hitch. Steel wheels on and on. That’s a 55-58k truck. 100k miles a year is 23k if you pay yourself what you pay enterprise you can trade out yearly without negative equity
Do they cover the oil changes along with the rest of maintenance costs?
Yes
Houston, Texas enterprise does this program as well.
I'm sure everyone would like the info - care to share it?
@@HotshotAdventures
Houston enterprise is a little different but it adds up to the same as Mishawaka, IN program. In Houston its 1500 a month and 15 cent per mile. You get 5,000 miles free before the 15 cent per mile starts. 60k on the truck u get a new one. There is no waiting list currently. Im paying about 2300 a month. The most I've paid was 2500.
@@kerryjoseph1648 good info. Now I know Houston has it. As I was watching her videos I was wondering...
@@kerryjoseph1648 Which location in Houston?
Hello thank you for video do they provide trailer as well or you have to get on your own
No
Im sorry, I don't understand how the insurance going through them means that it won't go on your commercial record. I am really confused by this because your name or your companies name would still be on their insurance and there for still tying anything happens to you or your companies records. Now that said, I am from canada and trucking companies here have a points rating system similarly to demerit points on your personal drivers license, so any infraction, accident claim and so on impacts your companies points regardless if it is a leased or purchased vehicle
What made you to decide to buy your own truck?
I asked you that a year ago you’ve been busy I take it?
Can you rent 24ft box truck weekly n how much???
So had you took the leap and purchased a new truck at the beginning you would have saved roughly 8,800 dollars in that 8 month period. You have to balance out the fact would you spend that much in maintenance after the 8 months? Ehhh not likely. If you buy a truck put truck in your name and then lease truck to your company. You can then “charge” your company to lease your truck. Love your videos and thank you for taking the time to make them
All very true, excellent comment!
No, first 2 yrs of maintenance on a new truck should just be, in my opinion, tires, brakes, fluids...
But I rented first to test the waters, and bought new right after rental. Now I'm testing my Theory on these new trucks...stay tuned to see how the SheBeast holds up, as opposed to others new trucks' 😇
Thank you for watching, highest compliment I can get!
@@HotshotAdventures will definitely be watching I’m a new subscriber thinking about jumping into this.
Welcome Welcome!
Thx for checking the channel out
So are you getting a new truck or buying out the one you had on lease?
ua-cam.com/video/LFPQefVvqEU/v-deo.html
Could you hire a transporter for your pickup n drop offs to Mishawaka? Would that be cheaper? Maybe buy one truck from them. Use the purchase truck as a transport truck to get your rental back without running up the tab on miles? I dunno. Excellent video btw.
Excellent thinking out of the box!
It all worked out for me in the end, watch this video and you'll see what happened :-)
ua-cam.com/video/LFPQefVvqEU/v-deo.html
Hey beautiful just dropped by to see you and your speaking the truth I half to work on my own truck and not fun sometimes I have a truck ordered but not built yet I'm getting the GODZILLA F250 4X4 and I'm looking for another trailer trying to not have breakdowns as much.
I hope you like your new truck! I'd like to see it when you get it send me a pic!
So does the 16K you paid towards the rental come off the purchase price? If not, it seems the better deal would be to buy a new truck to begin with... you can get into a Ford DRW truck for 45K.
16k is just for the time it's being rented, not off the purchase price. At the end of my rental, the truck was offered to me for sale for $42k ...
Doesn't Enterprise reimburse you for most of the routine maintenance? If so, that lowers the effective cost of driving the truck.
Hi. Can I have the info of that enterprise office please. Thank you so much
Did you profit on this business adventure ? Im looking at leasing on with a company @ .27 a mile but they provide a truck ... what do you think?
On the Indiana sales tax if you are a for hire carrier you are sale tax exempt. I've never paid sale tax on a new or used truck sense I've been in business. Just some thing to look into if I were you.
This shows that driving isn’t a cash cow as some lead you to believe.
I would like to start hot shoting .
Could you go little more into detail about the pro and cons
Respectfully
Jack
@@J.O.A.T.s
Pros...you can get point to point faster than tractor trailers.
You can go places tractor trailers can't
You get better mpg generally.
Cons...you're sleeping in your truck or a hotel. Not enough room for all your stuff.
Harder to find a decent paying load nearby.
Parts on the equipment wear out faster.
Some brokers and shippers want to pay you less just because you're a hotshot.
I can add more as I think of em...
I really appreciate your response and the time to answer my novice questions.
It's a big step for me looking to start a second carrier on the wrong side of 50
Respectfully
Jack Mizerak
@@J.O.A.T.s no problem Jack. I've been doing it for 2 years now, I'm 57. Drove tractor trailer 28 years. Hotshot is my 1st experience with flatbed.
Add onto the cons if your not class A it's even harder getting loads. All that being said, I mainly do full load and stay in my region. I don't try to fill partials and go cross country.
That's good information.
Staying in region.
Thanks for all your advice.
Respectfully Jack
But did you everBreak down or had to swap out the truck before the 60,000 miles? And also where did the extra money come in at that you had to pay them double or triple sometimes what fee was that?
You should contact enterprise
