Hey! Totally random but I saw this video to learn more before I bite the bullet and purchase a trailer of my own; I didn't intend to like or subscribe but your pausing to thank God at around the 19 minute mark changed my mind. I have liked, subscribed and am writing this comment to say I appreciate you openly thanking Jesus and because of that fact alone you just earned another subscriber. God bless you and I pray your business is fruitful!

The weight at which you need a CDL is actually 26,600 lbs. It may seem silly, but that 600 pounds matters. It is a clear line, above this you MUST have a CDL and even if used solely for farm work, where some States do not require a CDL, the Federal Government does. This means if you cross State lines, you must have a CDL, even if being used only for your farm work. Plus, the farm work exemption does not allow for commercial work of others. You can't pick up a load at a place other than your farm, and drop it off at a location, other than your farm. That is considered commercial work, no matter how small the load and violates the farm exemption.

Just so you're aware, the cdl requirement is for what your truck and trailer combined are rated to carry. This is known as combined vehicle weight rating. (CVWR) It doesnt matter if you never haul that amount. If your truck is 13k gvwr and trailer is 14k gvwr you are required to have a CDL. If you wanna be legal.

Have a question. Since customers typically pay cash at drop off. Do you take any deposit initially to prevent someone from stiffing you? Or you haven't had many problems with that? God is Good!!
@Haroldsheavyduty
20 сағат бұрын
It seems that more people are more inclined to do payment on delivery. What I will do though is ask for payment before I dump the rock because if they try to stiff you you can just go return the rock. I actually haven't had any issues with this so far which I was worried about initially.

@@Haroldsheavyduty that would be great. I just tried them out after watching this video. I’ve gotten two messages responding to my ads for gravel this week. Unfortunately, neither have turned into sales (ex: 1 guy found some crazy bottom barrel pricing I couldn’t compete with), but getting an extra few requests per week from this would be nice! A video going over the way you do the ads (ex: text you use, cities - should you post in more than - city?, re-posting - should you take down and re-post after a certain period of time to make sure the ad doesn’t get stale, etc). Look forward to continue watching your videos. Appreciate you posting this stuff

I hate to burst your bubble, but you better look a little closer at the regs. I think you'll find that if your trailer's gross weight is over 5 tons, you need a class A CDL.

A 14000# GVWR trailer would need to be pulled by a truck exceeding 12000# GVWR to have a GCWR over 26000# requiring a CDL. It's the combined weight not individual to the trailer unless... You are towing a trailer with a GVWR of more than 10,000 pounds AND the trailer is designed to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver) OR is used to transport hazardous materials requiring placarding, then you would need a CDL regardless of the total combined weight.
