    Rule #1 from experience in hot shot been doing it for 5 years part time . The only rule actually to me PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS IN LIFE . Then pay off your truck and trailer ! Then work hotshot! I got house paid cars paid. I work hotshot 3 times a week when I feel like it !!!!!!!

    May have been said and I missed it, but it needs to be said. Unless you have some form of prior experience your first year is one massive learning curve. You really need a mentor. leasing on with a seasoned company or having close relationships with someone in the business is a must. As Jason stated the first 90 days it's very tough to book freight and to take it further a lot of brokers still say one year. About a month ago I was told no over not being two years in, I laughed at him and said cool have a nice day. Do not start your own authority unless you have the financial ability to cover any household or business debt for the first 6 months as your not going to earn well for the first year and you need to be learning not freaking out how your going to cover all the expenses. It can be a lonely life out here so make sure you're built for that as many aren't.

    I’m currently working on my CDL CLASS A license. I want to transport automobiles with a 3 car trailer. After thinking more into it, I decided it may be smarter for me to get a 40 foot flatbed instead of a car hauler trailer. With a flatbed I won’t be limited to just hauling cars. I figure I can haul three cars max on a 40 foot flatbed, and I also can haul general freight on my flatbed. Do you think I can be successful coming into a market like this in 2024?

    Great video. So I am totally uninformed in this business however my brother and nephew, both owner operators, are very well informed. I have the assets to help them get started. I have a Dodge Ram 3500 and also a 30 ft flatbed trailer that I inherited from my mother in law. The question I have is I want to focus in on a specific niches (the marketer in me) to distinguish ourselves from everyone. What are some suggestions you may have to make sure we start off with a bang?

    I have driven hotshot set ups off and on for the last few years . I recently was offered a company that has had their authority for 15 years with great ratings across the board . It also comes with a truck and trailer with a lot of life left in them . They are asking 120k . Would it make more sense to buy the company or go buy a truck , trailer , and get my own authority ? I really feel like it's a great opportunity , I just want to hear the opinion of someone who is more knowledgeable .

    Unless your equipment is paid for, you will not make any money in hotshot. I looked into this, you will be lucky to make $50,000 a year after expenses.

    Since water is Free and its everywhere.
    The old ww2 trucks were able to run on water then if they could not find fuel.
    Really why give away your pay check on fuel bill daily.
    500 gallons of fuel x $4.00 per gallon.= $ 2,000.00 a week you are giving away for no reason.
    ( $2,000.00×52 weeks=$104,000.00 yearly given to petroleum companies.)
