    If you lease with a company like ACME, can you choose your hours?

    Not if you want to succeed . Hotshot is all about moving time sensitive freight ASAP at a moment's notice . In some cases a customer has work halted waiting for a needed part .
    Turn down a few loads and you'll get lower paying loads and sit more .

    Yes I can to some extent. I take a day off when I want to but this job involves being willing to get up in the middle of the night also.

    Thanks for the information - I just hope that Acme will accept a driver that has no experience, other than a little RV hauling....
