How We Find Hot Shot Trucking Loads On Truckstop.com

Welcome to Chukka Travel. I'm Derek today. I'm going to show you how I

find

loads

for hot screams. Okay, the loading board we use is the truck stop easy, so we're going to go ahead and go to the truck stop easy. We have the high end version because obviously

loads

supposedly appear faster on that one, whatever it is, you're supposed to get more tools if you get truck stuff. I recommend that you learn as many tools as you can, so we'll go here to log in. loading the dashboard already has our password saved, so we'll just click log in.

Now that we're here, we're going to click here and type in the city that you're starting in so our general area is Findlay Ohio and then you have to put at least one thing in here, so since we're a big

shot

, we're going to put HS for a big

shot

. and then we're not going to put in a destination just so we can leave more doors open, just go ahead and load quickly. search now, we'll go here and right click on the toolbar. We typically make our Arlo radius typically 150 miles. Now we'll come back here and add FSD and that's for platform or step. deck, we currently don't have ramps so we won't be using SDL, but if you have ramps I guess that's something you should add too because I might add one more thing.

We could do FA for air freight since our truck left. That's right, we don't really see anything for that pickup date. Let's say that today, the current time is 1026 BC. Typically, loads are hot around 8 to 10 a.m. m. and our experience, but you know, I'm sure there are hot items all day long. appears from time to time, the maximum weight that we can support in our trailer is 16 5, so we're going to go ahead and check that and now we're going to update closely, we're also going to add junk in there that you can't take all of it if you click on the top, you can arrange things in that order you click, like if you want to go by distance you click on the distance and that's the shortest one, if you want to go by the longest click again and that's how it does.

You can do it with the status, see everything. Pamela, you can do it from the other end of the alphabet, Wisconsin onwards, but what I like to do is look at the rate per mile, so we have good rates per mile. If they're all above two dollars, we're going to go ahead and extend this to 200 so that way we don't have to turn the pages, so all of these are above, a lot of them are pretty high, but a lot of them They are quite far away. and they're for short miles which when you add the dead center, it's not actually going to be 4 dollars and 35 cents because according to this, it's 136 miles, so when you add the math, it's actually going to go down and then it's 300. dollars per day is really worth it because it will take 136 miles plus 69 miles, which is about 200 miles, so you're looking at 200 miles for 300 dollars, so at the end of the day, that's really what you want to do with your time , so this actually looks decent right here, so what I would do is click on this and you have to remember that you're fighting the clock, so everything you do has to be very fast.

I would scroll down and It would be nice if we had a factoring company, some people don't. One of the reasons I like having a factoring company is because we can take your MC number here and we can do a credit search to see if our factoring company likes you there or not, because if our factoring company don't like them, then you know they don't make payments or they don't pay or whatever, we'll pretend they're good. I'm not going to do a search on I'm not going to accept this burden or anything like that. It's just an example.

This upload has been active for a long time. It gives you information on the side here. It says they can't load Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 3:00 and it's a tarp load so basically you got a call and got information about this, it's 20 feet long, the weight is fifty seven hundred , so it's ready and it's for a flatbed step deck, so that's exactly what we are, come here, the user is or the The contact is J. There is a phone number. Personally, what I like to do is search. I like to do a Google Maps search on the pick up and drop off location and then I'll also add the location we started from. and then I'll put that first because that's where we start from, so I'll look at the map and get the estimated miles, which is 366 miles.

Open the previous calculator here for this load to be and you also know this. It says $700 here but since they want tark or whatever I would see if they made 850 or 800 sometimes they say yes sometimes they say no but what does it hurt to ask. I mean, we're in this to make money. Also try it, we'll say it's for $700 because that's what they posted, so 366 miles, so 700 divided by 360, six equals, so it's a buck 91 a mile, which I'm pretty happy with. I don't really know this general area. In New York I don't go very often, so I couldn't say if there will be, if it's a good place to hook up with foreign celebrities and you really want to pay attention to that, but you're working against the clock.

So you will only have a limited time to decide what you are going to do. This is also a toll road, so you have to keep that in mind that you are going to pay some of that. Actually, I won't. I'm sure how much and then it's a total world up here too, but I'm sure I could

find

a different route to avoid it, so yeah, there's a lot of things to keep in mind when you're taking loads and all that, but with the rates . are, it's good to know your numbers on what your minimum per mile is that you need to do and what you can do.

I'll probably most likely take this, you can't take too long because then someone else will probably take advantage of it. but this one has been up for a while so I feel like it's probably a wide load and that's why it hasn't been taken and then sometimes they have the links here so you can see how long everything is and what you can do is So. One time, 48 feet, I didn't mean to do that. If you accidentally click on it and it's something you're not interested in because it's a 48-foot flat platform, you can come here and click Not Interested and it takes it. from the other screen, but what you can do is just come over here and press X and that eliminates that.

Sometimes what these brokers do is like that upload we were looking at, it's been up for several hours so what they usually do is delete it and then repost it so it looks new and then if someone was deleted in the past, just as we just removed some, it will appear on our screen again. although we just removed it because they are reposting it so it's like a new load being posted, it's a bit annoying so there's something else you can do instead of looking at the rate per mile up and down we can do that for rates. the total rates and we can just reduce some - this one is 23 dollars a mile, it's 27 feet long and it weighs 14,000 pounds, so it's a definite no because it's like 90% of what we can handle, so we're not going to go to Texas for a dollar 23 a mile keep scrolling down, that's 15,000 pounds.

I see that most of these dice are going to be for semi-finals and that's what makes life difficult, but these ones here are probably all the same shit, but it's amazing because it's Finley where we are. you know, I mean 0 miles, but you know you have to go in pairs, obviously, but minimum dead miles is fine and this is 7 feet long and 6,400 pounds, which leaves us like 10,000 pounds left on the trailer and about 30 feet of platform space, so what we do is click this, see this, and it's over. That happens frequently. You have to be fast in everything.

Another thing you have to think about. We were just looking at that though and it goes to North Dakota and in my experience it's tough. I find things that come out of that general area so I usually don't go there but you know it's different for everyone there are people who can make that work so I'm not going to say don't do it I'll just say you have to do it . find something that works for you and make sure you stay within your own guidelines that work for you because we already went to Florida and couldn't get anything because it was a nightmare that we went to west Texas and couldn't find anything. out of there, so we usually stay out of certain states, well guys, I hope this was helpful to you.

Normally what I do this in the morning I grab a cup of coffee, take a couple sips and it's right here. I'm so focused on the computer that I barely drink my coffee and I have to reheat it several times just because it gets cold because I'm trying to find the perfect charge, but sometimes you have to make do with what's out there, you can. Don't wait for everything to fall into your lap, but make sure it's not below you. Hello, management is really tired of those calls. Don't take any loads, but don't settle for loads that are below the amount you need to do per mile.

It's very important that you know all your costs so that you know what the cost of your operation is per mile and so you know where you're making money and when you're not, and it sounds like most people. try to stay above a dollar fifty a mile and that includes dead miles, everyone will be different, everyone has different bills, different amounts so some are very high, some have paid off trucks, they have paid off trailers and they have no debt , so they have them, don't you know? They make a lot more than us if they get the same amount per mile so everyone is different so everyone has a different number the higher your debt the harder this game will be.

I wish you all the best if you do this it's a difficult game I hope you can do it and succeed I wish you all the best if you enjoyed the video please hit subscribe hit the like button share with a friend and God bless you guys Get married nothing can break me no no nothing can break me
