Hot shot questions.....

Here it is..... fell into a deal recently if i want it.......good solid 3 axle class 8 with a sleeper and a tag axle ...good miles etc truck has 24' bed and can carry 26k payload and was leased to Cheetah. Good price........owner can no longer pass physical.

I'm looking to work on Cheetah's rental equipment accounts ...by choice. This where they add extra power to the likes of Hertz, United, Sunstate etc when their stuff is too busy. It's random sure but the seller recomended I take the truck there and do this........

Lets have it...... whatcha think??? Cheetah ? Hotshot?? Rental deal??

 

Hey! What r u doing? checkin on me???? Uhm no opinion yet...... I keep my options open and this looks good on the surface.........you know who I work for and what I do so here's my thinking......

47000 lb plates....no 2290
10 mpg on the ECM
No overweight permit needed.
Newer truck
Good price , owner anxious

Thoughts?

Oh, full time too......gots a buyer for the dog.....

 

Thought about that too BUT it begs an age old question.......What would it take to hire someone like me ???? I can't, I'm to expensive. Revenue would not be there.

Kill joy! LOL

 

It has a sleeper but she makes a good point.....hot shots are frequently targeted.

My former carrier belonged to a group of carriers whom had a state lobbyist and they had them push for increased inspections of hot shots........

The thinking being the hot shot destroys the rates because he has half the expenses of a class 8. Sounded like a bunch of kids whining to me.........

 

Get me in touch with her if you don't mind. I'd like to chat with her....... I'm not tied to any one carrier....this one just happened to be suggested........

tks....
