Flatbed Dually

Let me know what u find out pls

 

You need to get approved to haul via their Brokerage side. I doubt if they would ever sign up a dually under their authority. So either you need your own authority or have your carrier sign up with their Brokerage side. They have 2 load boards one for their own O/O (BCO's) and a brokerage load board. Plus they also use other load boards for their Broker loads.

Then look for partial loads (LTL) sometimes a full load is lite enough if you have enough trailer length. A 40' goose neck can haul some of their step deck loads. I hauled lots of partials from them over the past 11 years. Make sure you are upfront about your rig though. No air ride and a hot shot (dually). This can cause a issue at times.

Good reasons to get out of those small rigs, hey its easier to get started, but the sooner you upgrade to a full size truck and trailer the better off you will be. Your not doing yourself any favors by staying with a Hot Shot rig, unless your business is in the back country serving the oil/gas industry.

 

On the load board there is freight for hotshots…..also alot of times ill see loads for flatbeds and in the comments it will say no hotshots….

 

Forgot about that. But I always found that there was almost never a Hot Shot load. 99% of the loads I took were either listed as SD or FB loads. When I had my small rig I always was upfront about explaining it was a HS rig with no air ride.

The no HS thing was getting to be a issue at times.

 

I've seen a few a hotshot guys with the blue LS logo on their window. They must have been leased on. Just the other day I covered a military load for a drill, one of the trucks there was hotshot. Eureka California area, I've seen HS loads going there paying upwards of $5 a mile because the length restriction is to short for most rigs..
