Hotshot 1 ton world

It depends on what you haul and where you go. Have you already purchased your equipment and gotten your authority?

 

Those are nice trucks. I have a friend who has owned several of them. He still has two of them. What do you want to haul? With the dovetail, you could haul some lightweight equipment. My friend hauls cars and he probably averages around $2,75+/mile. You should at least be north of $2/mile. Do you plan on mostly running Texas?

 

At one time I subscribed to three loadboards: Internettruckstop, getloaded and mymembersedge. I now only subscribe to mymembersedge. I have seen hotshot loads on all three. Some of the larger brokers have their own loadboards and those are free.

 

If you have your own authority there is nothing to prevent you from finding your own shippers. It takes time to develop good relationships. If you do your job well, pick up and deliver in a timely manner, brokers and shippers will continue to send you business. There is a company based in Texas that used to do a lot of hotshot business. They did a lot of New Mexico, Arizona and Texas freight. I don't recall the name right now. If I can remember the name I will post it for you. Once you subscribe to the loadboards you can post your equipment and those who have loads will begin calling you.

 

Ya, you and every other full size flatbed driver. You may get $2.00 in one direction if your lucky. Be prepared for $.75 in the other. Reality will set in real quick.
