Thanks for the info. As of now I am just thinking of what to do and am going to call around tomorrow.

Is Florida not a good route because everyone wants to run to/from Florida, or no real work there?
-
Im from FL and cant do it. Well can but choose not to. There are people who do it but some like to haul for free. -
Well ain't that a booger

Could somebody educate me here. I used to always think the guys doing the pickup truck car trailer thing were doing it so they would not need a class a license. You need to have the "A" for a trailer over ten thousand pounds. I would have to imagine a three car load and trailer would be over 10k. So what is the advantage of using this equipment as opposed to using a regular tractor and a six or seven car trailer? You make more money each car, so I'm just trying to figure out why bother with the light duty truck trailer setup. Just curious.

I don't follow that info because I have a cdl. But the guys who run with out one have a hard time because they need light loads.

Running hotshot is all about fuel mileage, the idea is to load high paying light (ltl) freight, so as to get full truck rate and only spend $$ on fuel rather then $$$ , so at the end of the week the paycheck is higher.
