Hello,
Looking into getting into hotshotting. Looking at some load boards come jobs post the rates some don't. Of the ones that do does the driver get the whole rate or does the broker keep part of that?
Also if you get a job driving say 400 miles for $500 seems descent but how much time is spent loading and unloading?
Thanks
Newbie

The saying out here is go large or go broke. If you are going to HotShot, you need contacts. Have you any experience in this business? Or are you thinking about going out and buying a PU and a trailer and going to work? I can tell you this, if that is the case, you are better off getting your CDL and finding a good used tractor/semi and go that route. Most of the HotShot guys I know of are not doing that good, unless they have contacts and or family in the same business. A dollar a mile or less will only get you one place, broke.
Put it like this, a $700 a month pu payment, or a $700 a month semi payment? Give me a semi and I will gross $5000 to $8000 a week. I cannot help you with your pick up. But I bet I drive less miles, and have a real bed to sleep in.
