Fellow Maine truck driver here. Came across your channel a couple days ago you have a nice setup. Hoping to eventually get into hotshot at sometime and get out of a tractor trailer. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Friend, i just discovered the channel a couple days ago. Have since binge watched all the Drive Series Videos. Keep it up. I like it. Greetings from Switzerland
Im a class A driver, i drove semi skate board and hotshot...i never in my life had so much trouble with the dot in a hotshot....i enjoyed the job but the harassment was out of the world specially east coast ....now i drive straight trucks allways get the green light and vans .....new Hampshire i hauled alot of tanks for winerys out of California...the BS always started in Pennsylvania....
I got ran down, pulled into rest area and he pulled up infront and blocked me in. I was empty but semi dry van in front of me was ok i guess and not pre-pass sight. I65 N bound marker 3 Mississippi $600 and passed level 1 inspection.
@Jmoffit22 I'm starting my car hauling business right now. I'm gonna keep my tints as long as I can. They'll have alot more since my '21 ram is on a diet too lol
Did you see the weigh station? I've never past a weigh station, I'm super cautious. New Mexico is a trip!! They require that a permit be purchased and they indicated a route on the permit and you must stay on that route! Where did you have your ELD? By the way, nice set up!!
Why would you blow a scale in a hotshot???? Dot gos after you all faster then a big truck like mine so basically you lost cash 2day. Dont blow the scales mo more man.just ho thur them wave and dont look back.

Looking forward to your winter runs my man, great video and thanks for sharing.
@@JasonBills-u6c it’s been slow this week, surely the winter will be much worse. Guess we’ll see 🤷♂️
@@Jmoffit22 nah man, you’ll figure it out making wheel barrows full of money soon.
1k subscribers just around the corner 😎
@@crash_davis It’s crazy, I can’t believe it. 😅
@@crash_davis - it’s been slow going for me! I guess I need to step up my content and editing 😂
Your legal. I believe you can have up to 2 feet overhang in the rear and still be fine.
Passing up the scale house. Really, I thought I taught you better than that! I have to show this video to my class.
🤣
Interesting music you got there..
I was thinking in doing hotshot but I delete my 21 L5p duramax I’m scared of getting pulled over by the dot…
@@baybaeboy6 my last set up was non-CDL three-quarter ton Duramax deleted, I didn’t have any issues, but that’s not to say you won’t obviously 🤷♂️
Well, I guess we can call you. “Bypass Jmoffit”. 😂😂😂
@@amandar4980 😏
It's legal. You are allowed 2' of overhang off the back of a trailer or truck bed.
I’m none CDL hotshot I pass them every day like nothing.
Pretty much ran that 1st load for big fat goose egg!!! And yet he continues to smile. Not a great start to the week.

@@LSHauling25 ouch!
isn't it 5ft hang over on the back? and like 2ft on the side? I feel like that's the rule
Surprised they didn't get you for tinted windows too.
@@joshnwhatido he mentioned it but didn’t write me for it. He was pretty cool.

If the dock workers go on strike oct 1 load boards be really f×cked up
The part of the ELD that plugs into your truck needs mounted?
@@JeremyElliott-vz1du the tablet or phone, whatever you’re using as a display needs mounted
@@Jmoffit22 Oh gotcha. Usually just lay mine in the seat. Guess I'll need to fix that. Stay safe brother!

Thanks man. Yeah I saw it but… My eld was laying on my bed, been keeping it mounted lately though 😅
@@Jmoffit22 - I gotcha! Hey, stay safe out there!!
Your allowed 4ft of over hang. I just throw a flag on and hammer!
I've only got chased down at 1 in Oklahoma and it was 150$ even though the ramp was FULL 🖕🏾
Man, hate to hear they hit you for 650 that seems a little bit high, but maybe because you had the Smokey and bandit they had to increase it
He said he could have written me a ticket for the $650 but didn’t… 🤷♂️
Do you have any electronic device that automatically pays your tolls and bypasses the scales?
No, do they have something like that allows us to bypass the weigh stations?
@@Jmoffit22yes they do but I believe it doesn’t let u skip all of them
It's called ez pass in pa I'm trying to get mine now.skdo pre pass works like that at scales for bypassing I has 1years ago
My comments keep getting deleted
@@DrSamBeckett that’s weird. I just switched you to approved user, maybe that’ll help 🤷♂️
I see you stopped at the Palmyra Irving and used that AI checkout thing...
With a $600.00 ticket, kinda puts the profit for the week really low
BS you can have 2 feet hang over, but should have a orange flag
Why would you blow a scale in a hotshot???? Dot gos after you all faster then a big truck like mine so basically you lost cash 2day. Dont blow the scales mo more man.just ho thur them wave and dont look back.
That's ho thur them sorry good videos
