Retired 6-year Military 42 years at a printing plant worked in warehousing shipping and receiving loaded many trucks worked my way up from running a shift to running the department 22 years in management shipping and receiving run 3 shifts. Love your adventures and you both, and the dogs.
The best advise I got from a St. Petersburg, Florida Police Officer. Go to the place you want to live during the day. And if there’s multiple cars parked during the day most likely they are unemployed on Section-8 and will rob you blind. My car was broken into 5x in a two year period. I left the car unlocked with the alarm set. About 15 minutes from coming home someone opened the door of the car. They ran so fast I did not even see any one.
Good Video guys and always like to see you doing good, we know you love Lita and she knows it also Jesus called his mother Woman when she told him about them having no wine for the wedding she knew he could do something about it, that is when he made Wine out of the water and that was his First Miracle. Be safe and god Bless Y'all.
Hello Lita and Robert. That music you had after "USA Fuel" was funny but probably appropriate. All of the Shell stations here are owned or at least operated by the same folks. They can't even change the receipt paper rolls at the gas pumps. Let's not even mention language, or lack of. The sign said Customer Responsible for Unloading Equipment. They were the customer. Lazy like too many folks. $200 for using ramps. Have good days!
I used to drive a KW just like yours. The only way you can go slow is left foot right foot to keep the transmission engauged and use the break to go or stop. But if the transmission disengages it will surge and Slam into the dock.
Lita when you are loading and helping somebody , What you want to do is hold your hands open , Tell him come on and every time he moves 7 or 8 inches you shut your hands that shows him the distance
You are so right about being lucky to have Lita there helping you... or you helping her. I look at all you do to get loaded and unloaded and keep thinking to myself do I really want to buy a step deck and deal with all that??? About half that I do is drop and hook...
Yeah, are you sure you’re very fortunate raven, Lita is beautiful and smart and works hard and no matter what’s going on . She’s a trooper man definitely a keeper 💥🎸👍
DOES HE PAY HER??? SHE LOOKS UNHAPPY??? HE DISPARAGES HER AND PROBABLY DOES NOT PAY HER? CALLING HER "WOMAN" INSTEAD OF HER NAME IS IGNORANT AND INSULTING!! PAY HER AND TREAT HER WITH RESPECT. SHE CAN ALWAYS MEET ANOTHER TRUCKER AT A TRUCK STOP.
That truck stop in Russellville is a decently clean one and the people are friendly but the food is a toss up . I work for Darpro. The truck at the end of the last video while yall were walking the dogs and we have a plant a couple miles down from that truckstop so we stop in there a lot.
We don’t charge anything to driver unload something small, but our insurance won’t allow us to drive customer’s equipment either. I don’t have any trouble telling someone that’s rude, it’s $150 for driver assist unloading, and that’s a lumper fee paid in cash to the driver. Then I outline my detention charge. Usually they get right on unloading it themselves.
When you was wondering if those buildings were sect. 8. They are, they look identical to the sect.8 buildings in my area. Must have been bid/built with the same plans nationwide. Same color & shape.
Robert, it doesn't matter what i'm driving if I stop to use the resrroom or air up a tire I will always buy something, I've had several incidents like you said that are owned by foreigners who refuse to let the public use the restroom its not right. Stay safe guys.🇺🇸👍
Some of us are not drivers but some of us worked in transportation their entire careers and like to keep up with the business. I’ve driven trucks but not with a load. As a kid in high school I worked for a Ford dealer and us kids drove new fords from PA to Maryland and brought back the trade in vehicles. Great experience for a 18 year old but doubt you could do it today.
15 years ago when i hauled for the railroad i was paid $30 per item to drive it onto the trailer and $30 each item to drive it off the trailer, you need to be charging a fee just like tarping , and a fee for loading NON-running trucks or equipment, that includes you jump starting anything.
You must have been taking 70 or 270 across the Mississippi. I took 44 yesterday, dropped a load in Bentonville and now I'm hanging out doing a 34 near Conway directly in the middle of the eclipse path. Will pick up in Fort Smith headed to SC and then home. Been out almost 6 weeks so far.
@@2020HotShotTruckingLLC 270 is a good route. A tip if your going 70 west to say Kansas City, take 370 west which is a route around St. Charles and puts you back on 70 west at St. Peter’s. It is 5 miles longer but, way less traffic and stress. The advantage to taking 70 west across the new bridge is, it is the least amount of miles and the quickest route to go west.
lifted my spirits! yea bro. gota put up these whiskey barrels! ha...ha...I'm gona be on a truck team some day! it's gona run on bacon, great Northern beans. & Honey biscuits! with lot's of team work! & pure love from the Care-Bears! woohoo! in some states U need certification 4 equipment operators!...as always great video ya'll! keep on truck'n... nascar wooho!
My name is Tim Mcfarland I've been wanting to get into hot shot trucks in a f250 I just like to travel and see things but money is hard to come by I don't want to drive new pickups I've been watching you guys from when you started driving your f250.thanks for your UA-cam videos
Big Rob, not a trucker but have a CDL for job that rarely requires me to use it but been a follower from day one cause I was one faaak up day at work away from trying the hotshot
You are too funny! I know what it is like with the restrooms. And it is 99% of the time NON-American stores. Each week on a certain day about all of the stores were this way. We ran sanitation, and would have to go out of our area to "Take a break". A supervisor was going to write me up for leaving my area. And let's just say I had back up from the other drivers. The NA stores come around after a couple of months of loos revenue. I still will not go there event though I am retired. Keep up the good work. People want an expert job at a rookie price. If you can not pay do it yourself. And as JT would say "Know You Worth".
I would inform them that they get the items off of my trailer or that you will return them to the location that you picked them up from.. And give them a time limit before you pull out ..... I have done exactly that.. When a 1 hour time was given and they realized i was serious and not kidding they got busy and got me unloaded... Looks like they unloaded the equipment.... How long did you have to wait???
I USED to do OTR and I watch but I actually saw Litas channel before I ever saw this one. I was surfing UA-cam when I saw hers. I watched it because my daughter is into the same stuff that she is. I forwarded the channel to her and that was the end of it, I thought. Then I was surfing again and saw a thumbnail and recognized Lita as the girl from the other channel. So, you owe her for everything.
@6:11 you ain"t lying, there was a report on Ancestry that a lot of people are finding out that their father is their uncle and other family members. Incest is more common in this Country going back to the 1940s than previously thought.
Robert I have been a fan of truckers since I was a kid. Watching videos from truckers that have UA-cam channels the hassle not worth it. I don't have temperament to be a trucker plus it seems you really can't make good money trucking which is a shame. I will always have respect for truckers because I know you all keep this world in business.
I heard when Houston oilers moved to Tennessee they wanted to name them the Tennessee imbreads, but the censors wouldn't allow it. The mascots were gonna be two cousins chasing each other around the field. They settled with Tennessee Titans instead. Lol
It not the transmission it actually the clutch it activate with the high spin so if you try to low rpm or take it easy clutch won’t work like it should.
If gas station is named usa or American, its owned by a foreigner. I stopped at a gas station during the fake pandemic. Guy said no restroom, told i was having an issue let me use the bathroom or clean shit up in aisle 1. He gave me the key.
There’s some liability involved if you were to crash it, so yes, you should get more money to make up for the once in a great blue moon that you may have an accident unloading. You can be damn certain that they would take it out of your pay if you crashed.
Thanks for the video……..aren’t they supposed to be building an America something, or something America truck stop off exit 11 in Valdosta……same Indian people? Maybe……. I do like the new Quick trip there though…..good donuts…i love the dash on my 23 pete…..
17:05 Lita getting the hell out of there. (NO TRUST in Robert's driving. Can you blame her?) * I keed. It's probably more not trusting the vehicle itself whether it be bad brakes or suddenly lunging ahead or some other stupid thing with not being familiar with that truck in particular. *
Why not check with a savage yard for trucks and trailers for an axle for your trailer instead of wasting money and taking a change of ruining the axle . or price a new axle for it
I'm so glad to here you say that about her .A good woman is hard to find
conversely, for the woman, a hard man is good to find!
She is a keeper
Your correct, we all don't truck. But we love watching your videos, thank you for sharing!
Retired 6-year Military 42 years at a printing plant worked in warehousing shipping and receiving loaded many trucks worked my way up from running a shift to running the department 22 years in management shipping and receiving run 3 shifts. Love your adventures and you both, and the dogs.
Just found your channel been driving for 8 yrs now. Before that I was a yard dog moving chassis in a intermodel yard for 5 years.
It’s nice to hear Lita talk, especially cause she knows what she’s talking about.
I watch because 2 of my kids are OTR. I really enjoy quite a few of you truckers! I spent 9 days in my Sons truck years ago and loved being ride along
Im a old retired car hauler & farmer but i realy enjoy your channel even though. You make lita do al the work🎉
DOES HE PAY HER??? SHE LOOKS UNHAPPY???

Have you two considered a bigger sleeper with bathroom/kitchen since you both spend allot of time on the road?
I love it when Lita says "yeah"..classic!! Teacher from WV by the way!!
Can the dogs drive? And Lita has great legs! Thanks for the ride!
Lita when you are loading and helping somebody , What you want to do is hold your hands open , Tell him come on and every time he moves 7 or 8 inches you shut your hands that shows him the distance
I'm in the medical field. Couldn't pass a DOT medical test when I am legally blind in one eye. However, love the channel!

Why I Hate Certain People Out There
I sure did love the background music, I could really feel the mood bro.
Run many lifts doing paper inventories had to do yearly inventory and paper inventory after a job printed.
In Chicago Section 8 housing are also known as hatcheries !
At 11:22.....
Robert - "mmmmm...love you babies"
Lita - "mmm I love you".
Lita definitely putting out the BS "love vibes" for that one.
Great vid, be safe yall
As always keep up the good work. U tell it like it is. no BS. I am not a driver but enjoy ur videos,

Hi Robert and Lita , quick question if you don't mind . Have you or will will you ever consider giving the Ice Roads a try up their in Alaska
The name on those is Premier Platforms, before the owner sold the company he had the funniest signs at his rental stores.
The start of video you was beside a Keller truck. I drive for them
Hey Robert, that's not NASHVILLE that's called CRASHVILLE
Yeah we're not truckers either but like the videos and of course love it when you call Lita Woman.....

No winch over tires I do pay attention. Haw many time have you seen that ?
Joe dirt I’m your sister scene 😂😂
If something goes wrong on the load and unload they want someone to blame.
Hi Robert and Lita
here's a idea buy you a printer/copier, it's a useful item
Lita needs to get her CDL to !!
At least they started.
First over all KCI.
Robert....I can't believe you can't get your woman (aka Lida) a strap winder!! Lol
we have a drill powered one
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot I just saw her rolling that one up by hand. OK. we forgive you! Lol
That’s the projects
No common courtesy on the roads anymore.
It not the transmission it actually the clutch it activate with the high spin so if you try to low rpm or take it easy clutch won’t work like it should.
Robert, why didn't you roll up that for Lita?
First from NC 👊🏻💪🏻
No one cares!!!
Why is your trailer tire at 80psi?
If gas station is named usa or American, its owned by a foreigner. I stopped at a gas station during the fake pandemic. Guy said no restroom, told i was having an issue let me use the bathroom or clean shit up in aisle 1. He gave me the key.
I'm right there with you.Robert sports are a waste of time
Do you ever want to get a CDL Lita or do you like just taking care of the paper work end and phone calling?
BESTIE! I did not appreciate your Mercedes drivers comment 😮😮😮 Lita would never ❤❤❤
ما شاء الله 🌺
Get paid extra for setting up your ramps?
There’s some liability involved if you were to crash it, so yes, you should get more money to make up for the once in a great blue moon that you may have an accident unloading. You can be damn certain that they would take it out of your pay if you crashed.
What camera is that you use on the back of your truck.
The same one we talk to. It's a osmo action 4
That's right Lita what's the big deal this is your shit. Haha that's why I stay away from the van freight, it's all like that
Is this the load you were going to be positive on.
I would never truck.
Just hold the cruise control button down!
Truck? I`m a software engineer, I don`t even own a Pickup .

I'm not sure. new loves at 13 I think
I don't understand. You just said you don't load or unload, but now you are loading the two trucks. What's the difference?
I don’t load or unload if the ratecon or bol says so
