![How I Make Money💰 In Hotshot Trucking 🚛 [Vlog Style] You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do 🫣🤞](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xV8P19T1HdY/mqdefault.jpg)
If the trucks going to be used for hauling loads its always important to protect those in the cab from the obvious hazards associated with loads coming through the cab. Seen many accidents where this is the only barrier that protected the occupants. They make headache racks on beds like the CM lineup that are easily viewed through to monitor your loads. Just two cents worth of advice that will save peoples lives. Keep on Trucking everyone. 😎👍🙏🏼😇
Man, what an awesome rig to be hauling a 40 foot deck over gooseneck. Nice 👍🏼
Suggestions :
Full cover aluminum bed .
Chain spools , stake pockets and rub rails .
Cab protector with cabinets.
Dual fuel saddle tanks .
Air ride suspension .
Only problem with doing a full deck bed is DOT considers it loadable space. There for will put you over length.
The new powerstroke can't handle that much weight
@@macbook802 i drive a 2023 f550 for work with a knapheide kmt-1, the cat scale says im 11.3 tons without a trailer. the new 6.7 dose fine and i have 20k miles on it
@@caseyd9762 it says that you are 11.3 tons or 11,300 pounds?
Your next truck build could you try to save on weight . Use aluminum bed and headache rack . Subtract second fuel tank and shorten chassis so the truck can carry more weight .
Have this exact same truck. 22'
Only feedback I could offer is to beware that since the aux tank is steel it can rust. This happened to me and contaminated my fuel. Luckily insurance cover most of the damage.
I switched to an aluminum box
Regardless awesome towing rig. Tons of power for mountains
So cool!
That’s the dream 😮.
Very nice set up.
Beautiful truck
Would have preferred a standard flatbed with tool boxes all the way down the side instead of the narrow bed with those plastic wheel well cover things at the back, but other than that this is clean
This design makes it legal to tow longer trailers in some states..
@@SegoMannot taking away from your comment just adding to it. The reason is deck space and even bed space giving it had a box bed is considered loadable space by DOT. It’s a stupid rule when they no good and well your not putting anything in that space
@@roydorshimer4920 And adding to yours as well some states consider it a tractor trailer rig vs a truck and trailer rig. If only we regulated our politicians like they do our truckers who deliver us everything..
Unless you’re using that for your private business, you can’t make any money at hotshot to pay for a truck like that
BADAZZ ‼️🔥💥‼️ I’M GOING TO GET ONE OUTFITTED THIS FALL YEAR 💯
You should do 550 with a hauler bed for people who RV.
That would be cool, but it would have to be a very heavy fifth wheel or truck camper. The typical fifth wheel is not heavy enough, and that truck will literally beat you and your RV to death. Especially on some of the roads in this country.
The problem I seen with CM beds in the Northeast the paint doesn't last long. They do an excellent job non the less and this truck is absolutely gorgeous. You don't need the longer wheelbase to get an auxiliary fuel tank. I have a 2020 and it is a single cab short wheelbase and has 2 tanks for a 38gal and a 26 gal. and a 5 gal hydraulic fluid tank. Getting into the tightest areas is more of a breeze and minimizes potential issues. There are plenty of spots to sleep around the country that are cheap and alot more safer then sleeping in your truck. The extended cab is probably the best compromise 🤙🏽🇺🇲
Do an F-550 or F-600 hotshot with a 7.3 and 4.88 gear, for those who don't want the added cost of a diesel that someone may use as a regional or local Hotshot.
I'd guess you'd be spending more over the life of the vehicle due to the gas engine having lower towing MPG. No?
The Duke says, that's what I have. I have a 2023 f550 7.3 gas with 16 ft flatbed. It has 4.88 gears. I like it!
What did I teach you?
@@bigedmayra Nothing except a personal statement from "the duke"? What's this third person talk?
@Michael-UA-cam98 I would think there would be cheaper maintenance cost due to it being gas vrs the added cost that diesel shops charge. No DEF, DPF, etc. I've seen a few hot shot 7.3 gas pulling 48' shed hauling trailers and ship containers around my area and they seem to do pretty good. Shawn @ JB REVIEWS, this would be an awesome episode on your channel to do gas vrs diesel hotshot segment, the pros and cons of each
To the video creator ..
We just build one of this models in our location in south Florida …
Few things .. the fuel tank you had instal not the way to go , we installed one that the integrated fuel pump is directly connected to the OBD and when the truck is in 1/4 tank of fuel the module of the spare diesel tank starts pumping fuel automatically into the rear tank of the truck until is full or if the driver wants it can also be run manually by the push of a button . The way you have it set up as gravity feed doesn’t work because 1 the driver needs to stop and 2 if it gets full and the driver forgets he be dumping fuel in the road as he drives ….
Also right by the dual wheels on the driver side you shout have a 7-4 way for the trailer , the tech who built your truck could of have use a 2 to 1 7way extension and gave you a secondary one for only 5th wheel use ….
The attachment you used there for towing comes with the bed kit , the horse shoe one is optional .
The flood lights are wired correctly to aux 6 but if the Teck did it correctly he should of put an inline fire from the header rack switch to the connection under the hood for the aux-6 so you don’t blow the fuse on the truck but the fuse on the lights itself so if you have a short you don’t burn the entire flood light harness…
Back up alarm ? We also instal those .. And we also offer lights that instal on the ears of the bumper that tag to flood for lower cargo lighting for night use ( water resistant ) for those who do boat transports ….
That is a very nice truck.
Should have got the F-600 !!
Nice build!
Why use Aux 5 or 6 for a tiny light? They are the only two switches that can handle 40 amps (air compressor, etc). Aux 1-4 are 25 amp rating. That’s something they should take into consideration when building these.
I believe switch 5 and 6 are the only ones that are powered all the time. If you want to run the switch without the key on. 1-4 need the ignition on to run.
Ram better be coming up with something nice REAL quick! I love my 4500 and tows like a beast, but this Ford is sweet!!!!
Should upfit one with the skirted flatbed.
Its nice for sure. I think the upfitter should apply a revised load sticker. I think the 110 tank is maybe too big and too tall as that raises the CG. Also seems like it could be closer to the edge of the bed because there is some waisted space on both sides. I would go for an aluminum flat bed that is full width and covers the back tires. Steel bed is like so 70's. A full flat bed allows the truck to be used without the trailer giving the operator more options. Full cameras (trailer included) should be a given. Air bags, on board compressor, fire extinguisher and safety triangles should also be standard equipment. Nice money maker.
Nice I need one
It’ll be a great truck if the entire CM bed and accessories were all aluminum so it’d last in the salty winters.
I hope to have one soon
Tank could go wider and also have a tool box, the amount of chains, straps, and binders will overfill those side mounts. Question: Why the long wheel base? What do gain with this?
they gained the aux fuel tank.
❤
The aux fuel tank will require you to have a Hazmat endorsement on your license (in california)
Belive thats why theres a connection to the factory tank. The whole design is basically to abide by dot and the laundry list of shit.
You need to take that plate out above the hitch. Let the air flow through and save fuel. What’s the tare weight of the Ford, the Ford and trailer. Obviously what’s the max GVW and then the payload?
How much is it for this set up?
can you add an APU?
needs a ranch hand brush guard and then it would be perfect
I’m thinking you should ditch those springs for air-ride. A complete air ride system from kielderman
Rust and half painted 2x4. Thats acceptable?
Nice truck
Needs rear airbags, like to see a custom utility truck, service technician body
Would you ever put a a sleep problem one of them trucks like Dodge has now has to go to a special dealer to be able to do that but would you do that too I mean it adds a little bit of extra but also you got heat for him and power plus they can put a fridge in there and all that awesome for a truck
wHERE IS THE SLEEPER ?
Nice truck except for the price. For the same money you could purchase a few year older class 8 truck and have less downtime. These hotshots are always on the side of the road broke down. They are not made for the day in and day out of hauling heavy loads. The suspension and brakes and especially the transmission cant handle that kind of stress. I'll take my Pete any day over this.
We transport new RVs and these hotshots are always broken down doing the same loads as us.
Seems like the did a discount on the mudflap 😅but nice truck.
Why no stock bed? What’s wrong with how it comes factory?
Just remember new comers. You need a cdl to drive this truck for hotshot.
How much was it?
I’m not the only one that thinks this truck needs a barbed wire pinstripe down the side of the truck
Give me that truck and a three car trailer and I’ll make you and me a lot of money. I started towing in 1979. Lol!!!
Manufacturers should build an actual hot shot truck with a sleeper
I could never buy a new truck with all the emissions garbage
If youre running a highly sucessufull business you cant aford alot of downtime. Thats why you see the need for alot of gassers now in trucks that arent really towing. We dont wanna deal with it eaither but its really eaither pay the man or lose the jobs.
100k miles from the 6.7 power stroke is exceptional
Foolish comment. But hey, paranoia abounds
It should be a flatbed truck
Why not HO engine ?
Nice truck but inside of hitch rusted, bolts on side of flatbed rusted, ridiculas to give that much cash for something rusted before you buy it.
wont ever do the miles of a ram 5500
Cm is literally worst bed you can get. Complete junk
I need one F550 crew cab lariat loaded chassis 4x4 5p cc long wheel base 84 ca or longer
Able to get a 12.4 ft .in flatbed
That is sexy AF
