Local delivery

Yes there is.

 

i have been researching the hotshot ltl for awhile now and am thinking about it, you will need to have your pickup licensed commercially the weight will be up to you

if you stay under 26K no IRP or IFTA is needed,

insurance will be needed

since it is staying under your authority i don't think there will be any surprises

on a 3/4 ton with a goose neck your rear axle weight will be really close empty so you will need to watch that

make sure you have trailer GVW and GAWR stickers that can be seen

umm thats all i can think of

 

no problem i like the thought of what you are thinking about doing and i think it could lower you exspenes a little bit which is alway good

 

I run HOT here in Houston. I like to take smaller loads in my Pick Up without the trailer.

The biggest problem is that it might be an envelope or a 5# box going across town....
Then a 3000# load picking up near the drop. It's hard to know what's going to happen.

 

There are, (or at least there USED to be,) a couple of small cartage companies in this area. Their bread and butter was pretty much single or at least small quantities of stuff from one of the LTLs to more remote rural areas that it just didn't pay for us to run a truck out to.

 

Just make sure you meet all the requirements here for the pickup . http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety-security/eta/part396.htm
