My hotshot trucking week continues - Part 1

The strap over the hood is incorrect, the suspension bouncing will bend the hood . Place a small 1” ratchet strap from the frame over the hood to the other side of the frame,
Tie down front of truck like this . Place chain hook in wheel hole, pass chain through chain pocket ahead of tire . Then pull chain to a chain pocket rear of tire . Pull chain out of pocket and hook to wheel hole . Place binder in place .

Old Ford grain body truck. Early-mid 60's. Bet it's been around that farm it's whole life.

[dwightfletcher]

you have the best tie down routine of any hot shot drivers.you were though well.keep up the good work, these are bad times right now.

[gamble-yr]

Lol it's the law In ur FMCSA hand book chains can't rub by kris crossing. Must have padding between chains if touching.

[flaco]

Looking in to getting in to hot shots myself brother and I really appreciate your videos, I've learned so much from you. From the bottom of my heart god bless you and your family, keep them coming great content

[richardbarkley]

Alex, JMoffit (and probably others has called you "The securement King" and well deserved I'd say!!

[richardbarkley]

Old truck must never leave the farm. Still had bias-ply tires on it.

[richardbarkley]

That old Ford truck sounds almost exactly like the sound effects for the car in Chitty, Chitty, Bang bang, Lol!!

[SpartanHotShot]

I got harassed by Arizona DOT saying my windows were 1% too dark. It's on one of my videos from a few weeks ago. It's nothing but harrassment.

[davidgaytan]

Thanks for videos and for keeping it real!

[joshpiercey]

Another great video man I look forward to watching your videos

[thepeeve]

Watch a bunch of your videos. May I suggest that your chaining is over complicated. Would recommend binder direct to the trailer and then wrap the chain around the axle or securement place and hook the chain to itself. Easier and gives you a lesser chance for something going wrong.

[CorvetteCaneCorso]

I had 5% on my hotshot truck lol I would roll the front windows down before rolling through weigh stations and left them down when I got an inspection 🤣 Got lucky I guess

[richardbarkley]

So, The DOT wants you to remove the tint on your front roll-up windows? I always thought that 35% was legal. Thats whats on all my vehicles....

[MATTHEW-md]

hey alex you know what i started using for the binders 3-1 multi purpose oil lube works great and im not having to lube the binders as often as i use to

[jkhotshotllc]

I’m not going to be “vulgarish” and call him what he is in regards to hassling you about the tint. Stay safe, cya.

[melostreetvybztv]

Do your stake pockets ever rip or bend wrapping the chains around it like that?

[richardbarkley]

Do you have to have DOT (somewhere) inspect that you've removed your tint? (I sure wouldn't remove mine either!)

[MrButuz]

It's stupid I agree but of it was me I'd take the tint off far more satisfying to leave those bungholes with 0 things to find 0 tickets 0 warnings😊
