Las Vegas a bad city to hotshot?

In a way sorta......but vegas takes in alot but doesnt produce alot...

 

Somewhat easy finding loads to vegas....but getting loads out ,you may have to dead head a bit or take cheap freight

 

Pay for a load board, search whats out there. Also, strike up a conversation, be respectful, and beg every hot shot you see for good broker contacts. Think that you can stop thru the house on a load, get loads in, deadhead for loads out, and as a hot shot you will be able to run a partial load and still make some money. Vegas is actually a "fair" market.

There is a whole lot you should read on here about becoming an owner operator. Specifically getting your operating authority and insurance in line. Hopefully you already have your CDL.

 

I cringe when i hear the I word...... aka insurance

 

Sometimes you have to take a load that just pays for fuel and maintenance expenses so you can get to a load that pays well.... unless you find a dedicated run....the dollar amount on a load will always vary

 

Theres loads everywhere ,sometimes you gotta dig harder and knock on doors and ask hey do you need any freight moved?

Really check on insurance thats gonna be your biggest hit....
