So think you want to run a hotshot?

Was sitting a truck stop yesterday. A truck pulled in next to me that said, "Safety + Team Work = Success". Three of the eight tires on the trailer were almost bald. And I get pulled aside three times last week!! Ugh!

Much Success!

I might as well get a big rig then.

My point of going that rout was to not have a commercial truck only but something I can drive anywhere at any time.

And I'm willing to bet that most of those influenced by, and going the "Shipping Wars" rout is not much of a threat and will not be around long.

And I'm wondering at what point is the excessive number of times you are asked to pull in, does it become harassment?

I'd get a magnet and put "Number of times pulled in this week, month, or year plastered on the passenger door.

Also, they used to have windshield stickers that were put on the big rigs that say what quarter of what year you are last inspected in.

Don't they do the same these days, and wouldn't it also apply to the smaller "Hot Shots"?

 

That's a good one!

I'm going to borrow that if you don't mind!

 

You only get a sticker for a level 1 . A lot of 1 tons get level 2 checking logs , inspections , and medical cards .

 

Just starting out... A LOT OF GREAT INFO IN HERE. Thanks!!!
