HUT is NY tax. There was a legal battle over NY trying to put extra tax on top of IFTA . I don’t know if it is settled. I believe they have weight of like 16,000lbs class for the lowest rate.
Couple of HotShot questions...

I read it as 18,000lbs combination, or single vehicle..
I was stopped in NY in 2016 for not having the decal. The officer let me ride for my ignorance luckily, but only after an otherwise clean level 1 inspection. He did not give me a clean CVSA sticker, & I signed up for HUT immediately on site with him looking over my shoulder.. Lol -

That's the best way to go in my opinion.. And honesty, I still sell 75% of my service as expedited. That's the best bargaining chip I got.. Just have the ability to deck ~29k lbs on 48' nowadays, lol.. Which is still considered "light weight" to many brokers, & shippers..
I couldn't make the under 26k lb work well for myself. I still blame my location, as the rates in FL are cheap for the most part, & there isn't much manufacturing near my home base. At 36k lb in the hotshot I ran, was much more profitable for me personally, because of more availability on the spot market. That was the biggest reason I stepped up again. Availability of freight. There is exactly 0 more paperwork involved between 36k & the 54,999 lbs I'm at now..
I know it wasn't easy for you, but you're a true testament that it can be done. You're going on what 12, 13 years now.? I like my FLD don't get me wrong, but if I could run like you, be home almost every night, & be profitable I'd go right back into a dually at 26k lb, no questions asked.. Just don't want to sleep in one much anymore. I know your a Ford guy, but I'd be right back in a Dodge.! Preferably a '91.5-'93 flat nose 12 valve 5speed this time!! LoL

There is a truck I was asking about in the car hauling sub that can supposedly carry 3 cars under 26k. Maybe if you can hook up a tag along with that?
I'm as shocked as you are. I see the proof and not going to argue against it but how can a combination vehicle over 26k gcvwr be non cdl is beyond me.Mojo1960, singlescrewshaker and Lite bug Thank this. -
When it comes to running into other states, how and where do you go find find out if you have to purchase any permits? And does this even apply to non-cdl?

No, not oversized loads. I just meant because I've read about permits to run through states, but I know most of that only applies to over 26,0001 lbs with CDL in coordination with IFTA.
Just trying to soak in as much knowledge as possible before starting, ya know?Last edited: Dec 13, 2020
