Flatbed truck 25,000 GVWR, 25ft long is good for a hotshot bsns?

Without knowing more about the truck it is impossible to say if it would be good or not. I can say, no you can't leave your state because even without a CDL you still need to be 21 or older to engage in interstate commerce in a commercial motor vehicle. FMCSA defines a commercial vehicle as any vehicle with a gross weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more when used in interstate commerce.

You may be able to run in your state, but loads will be limited as most are part of interstate commerce even when you don't leave your state. It is based on origin, final destination and intent of the shipment.

 

This was asked somewhere else, to repeat what was said there, you have to figure out how much weight you can haul with it, because if it is less than 6k, it may be useless.

 

Depends on what you are doing as far as the 6k. I never load over 6k

 

you can find work locally if you hit up your local businesses and even through a loadboard, the only problem is you will be limited to only your state and with only 25ft of space will make it harder to find loads but not impossible, you just have to figure out what your budget is because you might not make as much as the guys who go out of state and have 40ft or longer trailer.
