    It was good for me earlier in the year but people have been biding so low that most loads aint even worth it. And i'm not talking bout partials, i'm talking dedicated loads going down to $1 a mile if not under a dollar a mile! If you are taking dedicated loads for anything under $2 a mile your not gonna be in business long not to mention your leaving money on the table, shit just doesn't make sense to me.

    Just make sure you are logging everything with an ELD and have DOT numbers and authority. DOT is very stickler on Hotshot’s and the RV transport business. Had several DOT level 1 inspections. Also make sure you are keeping in line with the HOS with DOT

    how do you insure what you are transporting when you use USHIP? I am not a hot shot trucker but a traveling salesman (drive a 2001 nisssan frontier with shell). I travel all over the western USA and have a very flexible schedule. so this seems like a great way to earn some additional money while I am on the road. but I do not want to get sued if someone claims I damaged their item while transporting it. I will clearly be hauling smaller loads (probably under 500 pounds).
