I know you have probably heard this question a thousand time, but I sure could use some advice. I am 50 years old and live in Atlanta. I worked in a completely different field and have worked for companies for 25 years (with crappy pay). I love being on the open road and want to start my own business. I need some guidance. I am able to pay cash to get the equipment and training I would need, but don't know whether to go Hotshot or Class A. Ideally, I would like to haul 3 days a week (between Tues-Fri) and be able to net $1500 or over a week. I am pretty frugal and would sleep in my vehicle. Which way would make this more possible? Are there many dedicated routes that stay full most of the time (like Atlanta to Savannah, or Atlanta to Anywhere Florida)? Thanks very much for your advice?

Jeez - there’s so many factors involved here. It’s difficult to build a concise answer. -
I'm not even sure it's legal to sleep in a pickup.

That thing is pretty neat, takes care of the sleeping issue I guess.

SL3406 Thanks this.

Would be very difficult to net 1500 per week and only be limited to three of those four days .

Can buy hotshot truck kits in Tennessee that fit on a heavy duty pickup truck or just buy a regular pickup truck that meets the requirements.
This is the company name.Jmans Thanks this. -
What do you mean hotshot or class A? Some if not most hotshot guys have a class A license.
