$500-$600 a week being away from home living in a pickup blows man. Sorry, can't think of a better adjective to describe it..
20% of the load & mileage pay seems unreasonable.?
It's usually one or the other. 24%-27% of the load gross, or mileage pay + accessories.. (tarp, stop, detention, layover, etc.)
I ran a hotshot for 5 years. Made enough money to step up (my opinion) to a old FLD & new 2020 stepdeck all paid for. My belief is there isn't enough money running hotshot freight to paid yourself, operating expenses, & a driver. Need to either run your own rig, or drive a hotshot for a company that delivers their own in house freight with one.. -
