    There is nothing legally that says you cant. The point is, is the truck in good enough shape to pull a load around for a few hundred thousand miles? If its dependable, yes. I'm sure you are aware that its not going to turn into a 600 hp Pete... I mean, your going to be limited on what you can haul/pull. But as for the limit of what you can haul/pull, yes you can run hot shot with the truck. Biggest thing, it just needs to be dependable.

    Aside from a dependable truck, in my opinion the next best thing is someone who knows whats going on today, tomorrow and next thursday.

    Im feeling a pipe dream coming on here.
