New Career in hot shot!! HELP PLEASE!!

Hot shooting isn't what its all cracked up to be .Its a hard business to keep busy.Unless you have good contacts .Dont work off load boards ,they will break you .Ive seen hotshotters come and go .Takes a lot of dedication & hard work.Id say build yourself a bank acct with moneys just in case .like RickG says 10 k is a good starting point.i myself have been hots hotting for a bit ,but i have dedicated runs .you really need to make $4k to $6k a week to keep going .A lot of expenses come out of this moneys .
another thing is it will take you around $250 to $300 a day to run daily,depending on your truck and load .This is just a start.Along with motels, food, break downs,And whatever else comes up .

good luck on your endeavor .

if you want to stay in the oil business with hot shot .go to texas ,midland area ,lots of oil stuff going on there ,also the dakotas are hot now .make the money while you can .

I disagree when you say loadboards will break you. If you use them right... There is a lot of money to be made off them.
