HotShot car hauling

whats up guys. i just started getting all my things together the past 2 months to get on the road. was on the way to get my skills test done today and still haven't got my full cdl due to me side swiping a car with the ### end of trailer i know i know. they sent me to the wrong dmv in downtown greenville SC just about couldn't get back out lol. anyways i just wanted to get some pointers on anything y'all have. i have a 51 foot wedge and 03 f350 6.0 bullet proofed. i have my IFTA, DOT MC, 2million coverage and 150k load coverage. truck and trailer DOT inspections. Drug screen for DOT records i guess bc they sent me a letter in mail to get one done. and what ever else I'm supposed to have i can't think of right now. All in all i just want some input bc after today my confidence and drive has went to #### after my first little mistake. got away with just paying them 300$ so it won't go on my outrageous insurance. i have like $35K invested as of now and aint on road yet bc i have to wait another week for a test opening. thanks

 

I've already had my cdl before its been over 2 years since i had it so i had to redo everything. and i got stuck somewhere i shouldn't have been bc i told told the wrong DMV address. #### happens. this new trailer i have has a really long back end because the axels are farther up on a regular one and messed up. if i do it again i need to quit lol

 

i will be mapping it now for sure. i have central dispatch also

 

what are some good things i ned to have done to my trailer? i think i need expanded metal on the ramps and all the way up trailer it seems like it will be slick when wet? do y'all like chains or straps. i know you have to strap new cars. not old ones tho i have the chain things on mine and D rings for straps and winch. 51 foot. i want to put extensions on the front but don't know what kind of angle i should do to keep from hitting my cab on any kind of angles turns or what not

 

thats the trailer
