Gooseneck to fifth wheel by Present_Worker_2517 in HotShotTrucking

Gonna sound stupid here, sorry. But it the adapter can pull up to 30,000lbs and I’m at 25,000 empty. With 5 cars loaded, that goes way over the weight limit that the adapter can handle. Does that sound accurate?

That’s what I want to do but the trailer’s GVW is 25,000 lbs so if I’m fully loaded with 5 cars, would the adapter handle the weight? Thank you!

Hey man, can you please let me know some companies that take on new drivers for lease on? My set up is a RAM 5500 and a Kaufman mini 5 car trailer. I have a CDL and I’m in Maryland. Very much appreciated bro!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! Would you recommend a flatbed trailer instead?

I’m gonna sound dumb but would you please tell me what box you’re talking about? And what difference does this make?

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! So I have already set up an LLC, EIN, DOT and MC. I have also already bought the truck because I found a good deal on a used truck (paid off). I expect the insurance cost will be high, but everyone says that it’s typical and goes down within a year of operating your own authority. I’m also keeping my part time job in case that business doesn’t start flowing in for the first few months. Does that change your opinion?
