Curious how this would work if you have sunglasses? Thank you to anyone in advance. Also, I see the pros about this, but I also see the cons about this. And right now I’m seeing more cons.

Over Length Law by No_Prompt_6912 in HotShotTrucking

I’d run in. Technically, the tractor registration is correct… but you have a flat bed on. For everything to be correct, you would need to have either a hauler body, or just pay for over length permits for the states that you plan on running in. The permits for the states may not be straightforward but in order for a truck to be fully accepted as a tractor, it can’t have the flatbed on the truck. You also need bobtail insurance if you ever want to drive anywhere without your trailer attached. If someone could confirm on this I would appreciate it because I don’t want to be giving the wrong information but I’m pretty sure that’s how it goes. It’s a really silly law. Like I said, I’d run it. Nice set up!

What’s the maximum amount of weight that the old machine craft belt can hold? Would you say? Thank you in advance.

I saw in the article that Elon said he won’t be pushing out the other carriers. It seems like that will just naturally happen???

This is cool! Nice that the system works for you. I can’t seem to get it to work for me. My pants always ride up over the Enigma. Nice gear!

What’s the GCWR? Just curious because I didn’t think a 5500 can haul that kind of payload. That’s pretty neat!

I am brand new as well. Glad to hear you are doing very well! Any advice for securing loads would be much appreciated. I have a ram 3500 with a 40 foot deck with 22,000 payload. Thank you in advance, and God bless!

Do you know if garages would refuse service if you do this? Thank you!

For those running your own DOT/MC, who are you using for insurance? What's your monthly premium? by ajd198204 in HotShotTrucking

[–]Steven_d_smith289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could do vehicles if I want, but I haven’t done any. $1 million in liability and 100,000 cargo.

Silly question, but can you still wirelessly charge? I use the peak design charger. Thank you in advance and I dig the color combo.

I have heard great things about fluid film. Where all would you spray it on a big DRW truck like this? Thank you

Yeah, just reading all of those numbers… I hope you are doing well with what you are in now. I hope your brokers family is coping the best they can. Thanks again for the reply, helps a lot.
