Reminds me of my old rodeo rig from 20 years ago.

A few I pulled over the last couple weeks...
Little toy hauler fun
Nice little bumper pull, had a bathroom all the way across the rear. You could sit on the toilet and stretch your arms out to either side and your legs out in front and s barely touch everything. Talk about a roomy pooper!
and a pretty nice bunkhouse 5th wheel

I don’t do it full time and yes, 99% use a diesel. There are a few of us running around doing it with gas trucks though.

Honest question, and you’re welcome to not answer, but can you really make any money hotshotting? The deadheading seems to make it not worth it to me. That’d make it like .65c a mile ish? For diesel (or gas, in your case), truck wear, insurance, time etc.

Again, I don’t do it full time...I’m doing it here and there to supplement lost income and it works better than needed for me. There are people making a living at it but if it’s your sole source of income it’s not easy. House, utilities, health insurance, odd and end other bills...they add up. You have to love driving and know how to live frugally. I have my back seat turned into a bed so I’m not out for hotel rooms and I pack my food and eat in the truck so I’m not spending money on fast food. The pay is actually up right now, the people I pull for pay $1.45 a loaded mile and up depending on the area it’s being delivered and size of the trailer. I’ve seen some of the big 40-45’ trailers paying over $2 a mile. You have to have a dually and a cdl for things like that though. Just let me know if you have any questions, I’ll try and answer what I can. I haven’t been doing it long but I love it.
Cool to see someone doing it differently.
Nice!
I was towing the two trailers in my sig (16K) with my 04.5 HO 2500 SRW. The 48RE did NOT like that at all.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the specs on that bad boy and that's on the upper end of the limits for an SRW if fully loaded. Nice rig!

Actually carbon was one of the lighter toyhaulers that we looked at, not quite as many bells and whistles. Just shy of 2k miles towing this season per the evic, admittedly lowland stuff, but truck has handled the load just fine. If i were located in an upland region i prolly would have looked for an HO equipped truck.
