In this video, we are going to be announcing the winner of the giveaway for the 20-foot car hauler sponsored by the Trailer Spot. But before we get into that, I wanted to have a quick message for everyone that is going to check this video out. This is a message to everybody that's in the trailer hustle community. My sincerest thank you to you. Thank you for being a part of this growing incredible community of entrepreneurs and hustlers and people that are willing to take risks, people that are willing to work hard and get side hustles going, get businesses going, do what it takes to provide for your families and to achieve the goals and the dreams and the things that you want to achieve. And even the people that aren't using trailers for business, but you're interested in it, or you just want resources to trailers you already own, even you guys, thank you so much for finding this community. Thank you for your contributions to this community. To all of our brand partners, all the incredible, wonderful companies that work alongside me here with Trailer Hustle, work alongside the entire community and provide not just amazing products and amazing discounts, things like that, but amazing insights to help people grow and help people advance their careers and advance their personal and professional lives. Thank you so much for partnering with us here at Trailer Hustle. It really does mean the world to me. I am so grateful that we can all share in this thing together. So my sincerest thank you to everybody that is involved in any way, shape, or form with Trailer Hustle. Your support means the world. I'm very grateful. With that, let's get into the video. What's going on, guys? I am super excited to pick the winner of the Trailer Hustle giveaway that was sponsored by the Trailer Spot for the 20-foot down-to-earth 10K car hauler with a winch, with straps, with all that. We had thousands of people enter and they are all in this list that you guys can see. I'm gonna assume I'm gonna put this thing here. So, right here, as you guys can see, this is the wheel. I'm going to click click to spin or whatever. And uh, whoever lands on is about to win a trailer. And then I'm going to call that person. So let's do it. Super excited. Let's do it. All right, here we go. Without further ado, click. Oh here it goes. It's gonna be. Good luck, everybody. Oh, it's slowing down. Upstate trailer rentals. We have a winner. Congratulations, guys. Give me just a minute. I'm gonna have a little uh cut right here, and uh that way I can get you on the phone, and hopefully you'll answer the phone and I can give you the great news. Let's get to it. Alright, back to recording, guys. So, what I just did is I reached out to your upstate trailer rentals. I didn't let him know why I'm reaching out, but I just asked, hey, can you jump on a video call with me really quick? And I sent him a link. He said, sure thing. He knew exactly who I was, I guess by the phone number um right out of the gate, which is cool. I've I've I may have talked to him on the phone, I don't know. Um okay, so he's gonna be joining in just a second, so that's good. Um let me disconnect my phone from my audio here since he's joining in there. Perfect. So as soon as he gets on, we're gonna break the amazing news to him. Wish I knew his name. I don't even know his name. That's the problem, by the way, guys. I'm always I'm constantly talking to people through their business accounts or their personal, and then they message me on their business or their personal, like the opposite of what I've been discussing things with them or talking to him on, and I just have no idea like who it is I'm talking about. Like, oh, but I talked to you about, oh yeah, that's right, you're such and such trailer rentals or whatever, or you're so you know, anyway, it's one of those things. So anyway, so we'll give him a second here and hopefully he hops on in just a moment. Okay, so officially it looks like um he wasn't able to download the app to join this thing, so I'm just gonna call him and hopefully everything can be picked up on here, no problem.
SPEAKER_00What's going on, Justin?
SPEAKER_01Hey, not much, buddy. How you doing today? Hey, good. Hope you are. I am hanging in there, man, and um just so you know, I am recording this thing. I am on video as we speak. Um, so I hope you're okay with me recording you right now.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely. All right, cool, man. Um now you're asking questions.
SPEAKER_01All right, well, so I'm just gonna break it to you, man. You know that we were doing this giveaway for this car hauler. Um, we've been running it for the past few months, and um, I just threw all um all the names. There's almost 2,000 names of people that entered, and I threw them all in this randomizer, and you were the one that won the trailer, my friend.
SPEAKER_00Oh my goodness. You've made my my day, my week, my month, man.
SPEAKER_01Awesome, man. No, I I really appreciate you, man, and uh I appreciate you being a part of trailer hustle. And you know, huge shout out to Jake with the trailer spot. And luckily, too, you uh I was so nervous that, and I'm sure they wouldn't care, but I'm I was so nervous that it'd be like somebody in California would win it when they have to drive to you know West Virginia to pick the thing up. But um, I think you're in uh what South Carolina or North Carolina, where where are you at?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm in South Carolina. So yeah, West Virginia, Florida, California, I'd go pick it up.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I imagine you'd will you would, but uh no, that's that's terrific, man. I'm super excited for you and and uh thank you so much for being a part of the app, man. You're actually one of the early days guys, man. You you've suffered through all of my growing pains with all of the the issues that I had on the app and like the uh all all the all the mistakes I made will say and how ugly it was and how buggy it was at first and also thank you so much for your support, man, because I think you were yeah, you were like the initial hundred people, I think. Say that again?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I don't I don't see it that way, Justin. I I think you know Trailer Hustle is a great community. You know, everybody reaches out and you know, um collectively help each other out. And you know I I I see how diligent you are with working with the app all the time because uh I get all I get notifications to update the app all the time. I'm like, oh, that's just things just fine tweaking, you know, and fine-tuning and making our community better. So that's the way I see it.
SPEAKER_01Well, I appreciate that, man. Yeah, it it it's it's a lot of work, but you know, we're all in this together. I wouldn't have been able to build a thing if it wasn't for the support of everybody else. And it's it's kind of funny that you know, trailer hustle is this thing because of the community. It's not like I had some kind of, you know, a lot of companies they have a a company and a product and this whole thing, and then they try and build community around it. This is kind of totally different. It's like all of these things that I'm trying to do are products of of the community, and things that I would have wanted personally and things that I hope will continue to help everybody. I mean, we're all in this together, so um, that's that's truly how I feel about it. And uh man, I'm just super stoked for you and super excited to uh to get you this thing. So are I know you have um your print your picture on the app. I think you have a is it a Lamar trailer that you already have or something like that? Uh similar. It's a Liberty trailer. Liberty, okay. I remember the L, so I just couldn't remember what it was. Um so so is that the uh currently the only trailer you have that you're rent now?
SPEAKER_00No, I I also have an enclosed, and I was actually looking to purchase uh a larger enclave to the fleet, but uh this might change things up a little bit. For the better for the better.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, 100%. 100%, man. Well, uh that's great, dude. Well, I'm I am super excited for you. I'm super happy, and and thank you again for entering the giveaway and being a part of the app. And and you're also uh uh you're one of the uh early days paid members, too. And so thank you for that, man. I mean, I know it's um it probably didn't feel like a whole lot of value early on being a paid member, and now we got the free version, but of course there's a lot of great features for the paid people now, and we were about to uh unleash a few more really cool ones in the next week, hopefully week and a half, that I think you're really gonna like. But uh thank you for your support, man. I really appreciate your contributions to the community and the trailer hustle, and I'm super glad and excited for you that you got this thing, man. I I truly am.
SPEAKER_00Hey Justin, thank you for everything you do. Thanks. The trailer spot is it?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the trailer spot out of Rustburg, Rustburg, Virginia.
SPEAKER_00We're gonna have to give them a big shot shout out. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, so um I'm gonna try and coordinate some stuff with that because I happen to be heading to I don't I don't know how fast you're wanting to do things, but of course, you know, off-air, like when I'm not recording this for the podcast, as long as you're okay with me putting this out there, um, I'll get all your information, everything that I need to register um with the uh, because obviously these these things they have to be registered with the state and all that. So um I'll make sure that all the information is you know received from you, and then I'm gonna try and coordinate with you to where I can swing by and get footage and meet you and all that kind of stuff, because I happen to be going um this month to New Jersey. I'm gonna be driving. So either on the way there or on the way back, I can basically go right through Rustburg. So if it's something where I can take a one-day pit stop and meet you if it is convenient for you, or if you're like, dude, I'm gonna make this trip, let's let's do it, then uh we'll I'll just text you and we'll kind of coordinate and uh see if we can make that happen. And if not, no big deal. I'm sure Jake will be happy to you know get some footage of you getting it and walking around checking it out and doing paperwork and stuff. But um, I'd love to put together just another shout-out video to them and um as another congratulatory video to you once you actually pick the thing up, as long as you're all right with that. Sounds good to me, Justin. Awesome, man. Well, dude, see you again. Sorry? I I'm excited for it. Oh, no, me, me too, man. Me too. This is like I said, it's been a few months of promoting this thing, and you know, we got the the the the ads that I put out there for the giveaway. Because of course I wanted to promote the app, but also it's giving shout-outs to the sponsor, the trailer spot. And I mean, we've got I think we had like 390,000 uh impressions on just the the ads we put out there, and that's just the the paid ads, and not to mention all the other free stuff, um, or you know, just the regular content was that so a lot of people entered, a lot of people saw it, and uh you're the lucky winner, man.
SPEAKER_00So um I just put something out there real quick. You know, I've never won anything in my life, and I think I may not show my excitement, but uh I'm sickled to death right at this moment, right now.
SPEAKER_01No, man, that's awesome, dude. You're welcome, man. Yeah, thank you, dude. Seriously. I mean, you it it's so funny. Everybody says, I've never won anything because I call I, you know, I have the the privilege I get to call, have these cool calls once a week, because you know, we do the giveaways once a week in the app. And uh I every single person I call every week and say, hey, you won the last week's giveaway, whatever, it's like I never win anything. It's like, well, that's one more person that can't say that anymore. So especially you, man, you just won the biggest thing that you know trailer hustles ever sponsored um to give away. So we we did the doolittle trailer giveaway. That was the next biggest thing. And uh, I think it was Doug Lee that won that one. And um, so super stoked for him. And this is the second giveaway we've done in the past uh actually this year. Was it this year? I think this year. Um, maybe I think the other one might have been uh end of last year. But either way, within the last 12 months, we've given away two trailers. So shout out to the sponsors of those and uh you know, shout out to you for for entering, man. So I'll be in touch with you, man. I'll shoot you a text and um get some information from you and get everything registered up, and then uh I'll also let Jake know at the trailer spot and uh yeah, we'll coordinate everything up, man. I'm I'm very excited for you and look look forward to meeting you, hopefully.
SPEAKER_00It sounds great to me.
SPEAKER_01Thank you, Justin. Cool, thank you, man. Take it easy, talk soon. Thank you. Didn't mean to cut him off there. So there you have it, guys. There you have it. Let me turn that off. Man, huge shout out to Jake at the trailer spot, man. Thank you so much for sponsoring such, you know, you know, an awesome giveaway and supporting trailer hustle. This is something that you know these guys are gonna be able to add to their fleet and continue building their future with it and continue providing for their family with it. And all of those goals they initially set out to achieve with trailers, you are contributing to that in such a huge way. And you're contributing to the community every single day with not just being a part of it because you're a trailer rental uh company as well as a dealership, but you know, the insights that you have into the trailer industry because of your um your your experience and and all that, and just giving back like this, and just I'm just so grateful for you, Jake. So thank you again, Jake, from the trailer spot. Guys, check the links below. Be sure to check out the trailer spot in Rustburg, Virginia. And if you guys want to see more giveaways and things like this happen, please like, comment, subscribe, support trailer hustle in any way that you can. And a lot of that is just by mentioning trailer hustle. Everywhere you go, if you go to a dealership to talk trailers, ask them, hey, are you guys a part of trailer hustle? Convince your dealership to join if they haven't already joined. Um, you know, if you're networking with other rental guys, ask them, hey, are you a part of trailer hustle? Have them join our amazing community because the bigger we get, the more companies that want to get involved and do awesome things like this, just like with the trailer spots. So thank you guys so much. I really appreciate you. Congrats again uh to your upstate trailer rentals on winning the 20-foot car hauler. Um, let's get another one going, guys. Let's get another one going. If anybody has any bright ideas, let me know if we uh want to do something different next time. You know, drop a comment below, let me know what you guys want to see on the next set of giveaways. There is gonna be a couple of new features coming out soon in the Trailer Hustle app. We are officially gonna be launching Trailer Hustle Trivia. I'm super excited about it. I think it's gonna be fun. The cool part is we're gonna have a daily challenge and then we're gonna have, or a daily, you know, trivia, whatever we want to call it. Daily challenge, and then we're gonna have two, one or two, most likely two monthly what we're calling championship trivia. And that'll be your traditional style of trivia where it's you know, maybe 15 to 20 questions every two weeks. And you're gonna have, of course, leaderboards. There's gonna be uh prizes for the first, second, and third place winner on these leaderboards each month. Um, we're gonna keep track of monthly, annual, and lifetime leaderboard uh stats. Um, anybody that is a free member can do the daily challenge, but the um the championship trivia is reserved for the light and pro members. So if you want to take advantage of you know winning prizes and that sort of thing and competing in the championship trivia, then you do have to be a light or a pro member for that. But you still do earn points and you earn extra giveaway entries to whatever the most uh current giveaway is in the app. So if a current giveaway is, say, Ride Dog GPS, for instance, and you can win one of their GPS's, you know, on that Friday's drawing, well, if you're doing the daily trivia that week, you could get up to seven more entries into that giveaway if you come back every day and do a trivia. Now, the trivia when it comes to the championship trivia, which is gonna be the more questions in a two over a two-week span, um, that is usually gonna be pretty trailer um uh oriented. A lot of that is gonna be based on um, I, you know, I want to try and use it as an educational tool as well as a fun thing, but the daily trivia, that's gonna be random everything, just standard trivia. It might be asking you about how many planets Saturn has, it might be asking you what does uh you know, Vin stand for on a vehicle. Um, you know, it could be anything in between. It could be asking you about music, it could be asking you about trucks, it could be whatever. So um I'm just excited about it. It's a lot of fun, and I think people will enjoy watching their name climb on the leaderboard as they do that, as well as getting those additional giveaway entries uh to all the all the giveaways. So um there's that, and there's also a handful of new features we're gonna be um rolling out in the same update, as well as um, you know, it enhances to a few other things too. So um, we're also working on free trial. A lot of people have been asking for a free trial. Like, hey, I don't want to spend five bucks a month yet. I don't know if it even has tools that I really care about. Okay, cool, I get it. Uh, we're gonna be introducing a free trial here soon as well. So, all that's to come. But, guys, thank you again. I appreciate y'all being a part of Trailer Hustle. Thank you so much for your support. I love you guys so much. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. This is the Trailer Owners Network. More to come. Talk soon.
