    bro Ima give you some free game here. The money is in the short hauls, fk that all over the country sht. You wanna make as much as you can per mile. The longer the run chances are the lower the rate will be not unless you're hauling a hot load. You said you live close to Dallas then you should be able to get some decent loads in between say Texas, Oklahoma, Lousiana and maybe 2 more states. maybe you won't be doing a lot of loads but you have to look at the rate per mile. Back in the day we had guys doing a lot of Brick loads down there must be big and refracturing down there If i'm correct. They were paying good too. I've drove big rigs, brokered and owned. You also have to think outside the box a little. Look at the trends down in your area for product that can be hauled with your type of equipment. Then see if you can get some loads on your own. It's a tough busiess but you can do it if you really want to but you have to be smart about it. Good luck to ya

    My opinion.....i agree with Not doing CDL Hotshot but Non CDL Hotshot has its place..i ....Main reason is the Dually Pickup truck is not built to haul heavy day after day....equipment will not hold up...will need constant maintenance......If you are starting a Trucking business why limit yourself from growing your business because you cant scale weight.......the name of the game is capacity......48Ft 48 thousand pounds.......i starting my trucking business doing Hotshot...after 2 years you will understand a Pickup truck is not made to complete with Semi.......get a daul tamdem semi from The start...lease on learn the business and grow from there.....

    The best advice I can give a person thinking about hotshot is DON’T. If you are smart enough to get your CDL and Authority than you are smart enough to do ANYTHING. Trucking is the hardest industry you will ever work. If I can’t talk you out of it at least let me talk you into a dual tandem sleeper with box van or flat bed trailer. No step deck, no tankers. The first audit you get from DOT will make you quit anyway. You will get audited. 25 years Class A double, triples and tankers. Authority 2004-2005. STAY OUT OF TRUCKING. I went to school to be a school teacher and have an HVAC contractor company. DO NOT START A HOTSHOT BUSINESS! Get a dual tandem sleeper cab and a flat bed or box. Get a good used trailer from a place Penske. Find a good used truck on market place. For all the money you have borrowed you can get into big money with a real truck. That crew can dually just won’t haul the weight or go the miles. It will always be breaking down just like a big truck. Turbos, injector pumps, tires, wheel bearings. Those little trucks are not made to run all day long everyday.
