    Better move this thread to the Hot Shot section before you get a bunch of Owner Operators opinions on your business model.

    Brokers don’t always tell things as they are. Work with as many as possible until you find some that will keep you busy.

    How is it you’re starting a hotshot business, yet, you don’t even know you must run e-logs? Or, you think a for-profit, business venture can somehow be considered non-commercial? I think, you have a WHOLE LOT more to learn before wrecking your 2023.
