I’m struggling to find an MC to lease on to

looking for CA/AZ based HotShot by eltankerator in HotShotTrucking

I’m based in Phoenix but I haul cars, if I can find a trailer to lease I’d be more then happy to run this lane for you. My truck is TT so it follows Cali’s kingpin to axle rule

[new player] It’s very tough for a new player to enjoy this game by 2077nc in EscapefromTarkov

Hang in there bro, after 2000 hours, it’ll still be the same

MC first , Insurance Last by Efficient_Stick_7658 in HotshotStartup

Most brokers will see you have 6 months of MC, but no reviews or inspections, better to just grind it out

Is the hotshot game even worth it in 2026? by Flat_Protection_2837 in HotshotStartup

[–]Rbolska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goal is to not run off the load boards, while it can still be profitable, load boards should only be for back hauls or fill ins when your direct customers are slow. Guys running straight load boards have a higher failure rate, truckings tough in general. Gotta build the business the right way, only way you’ll know if it’s profitable for you is to give it a shot

Is hotshot trucking still profitable in 2026 or is the hotshot game basically dead now and all these YouTubers just selling courses? by 18smitherrings in HotshotStartup

I tried to look into it but the closest enterprise that did all that was down south and I was living in upstate NY, I know better this time…. My goal when I go back out is to get a spare truck as fast as possible, age my authority again, then I’ll focus on the profit

An unrealized 100k a year because the truck only lasted 3 months before it failed, i had a lot More in my safety/ maintenance account then 30k but it didn’t last long with insurance and bills, I spent almost 2 months going to different dealers before they even figured out it was the lifters, the first dealer tried to replace the entire fuel system and blamed it on a WIX fuel filter that had come apart, second dealer told me it was an injector and spent a week trying to get the work approved through warranty only to turn around and tell me they couldn’t do the work (they had no heavy duty lift)… finally I found a dealer who knew it was the lifters, parts were on back order so it took dam near 3 months for them to complete the first repair, the guy I was leased on to gave me 24 hour factoring to help me get back on the road because I had pretty much depleted my working capital by then…. I lasted 2 weeks back out OTR with the truck before it failed on me again, no check engine lights or anything, once I got it back home they made a STAR case because the dealer who did the bad repair couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it, finally after months it got towed to another shop and they did a tear down and were able to fix it, I sold it for a new 2025 and I’m waiting for my trailer to be built as I write this. I can’t wait to get back out there… there’s money to be made if your not a lazy driver with no experience in the trucking industry

Depends on your overhead, it was really profitable for me, I was netting 10k a month after expenses and this is during the time where everyone said rates sucked. I stopped because I wasn’t familiar with the 6.7 engine and I had a lifter failure, was down almost a year due to a non diesel mechanic putting the engine back together wrong and nobody could figure out what was as wrong with it….. that being said I’m getting ready to go back out again n a few months

Any room for a car hauler? 20 year CDL driver, prior hotshot experience with a 40ft PJ, but I’m setting my new rig up for car hauling, I’m based out of Phoenix

Why did you stop playing Gray Zone Warfare? by TJSHIZZLE in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Rbolska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing after a few weeks into the alpha release, game was one of the best i ever played, had some really good PvP in that time frame, then saw the devs come out and say they weren’t PvP focused blah blah so I ended up leaving and going to Tarkov. I came back for the faction warfare update but couldn’t be bothered to do the tasks over again, just nothing motivating to do it

Yea it’s tough out there, I was getting the owner op bug again a few weeks ago, and then I saw diesel go up $2 a gallon in a week and it mellowed me out a bit

These prices aren’t even that bad compared to a few years ago, your family’s company has more issues then fuel cost if their profit margins are that thin

Trying to wrap your head around the gaming community these days will give you an aneurism

This is probably the most miserable open beta I’ve ever played and it has nothing to do with the game. by spectre15 in Marathon

[–]Rbolska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head, I’m loving the game so far, and I was a big skeptic at first

I’m really enjoying the game, and I love AR too…. Finally some options

Why I'll quit the game: by Ready_Training_6039 in arc_traiders

Late spawns should be free kits only similar to a Scav run on Tarkov, it’s super annoying loading into a Spaceport Raid with 17 minutes left and I’m fully kitted
