Hotshot hauling
I am looking into buying a trailer and hauling hotshot loads with my dodge cummins i was wondering if anyone does this or has done this. Ive been layed off for almost a years now and thought maybe i would spend the last of the saving account to get a trailer and give er a shot. Thanks

Million dollars of insurance is like $1200 every 3 months, have to post a DOT # on both sides of the truck, with a 3/4 ton your limited to what you can haul as far as weight. Most companies run duallys for bigger pay loads. If you can find the right people, and can stay busy, it's a money making ordeal.

at work we have 5 trucks that we run
2 Chevys- 08 2500, 02 2500
3 fords-01 f-350, 04f-450, 98 f-250 (back up truck)
the 450s the only dually n it pulls a 35' goose neck
the rest of the trucks have 20' bed overs...
the chevys are the WORST to pull with... both are gassers n the shift ALL over the place..
all hav DOT numbers n insurance sucks! but they are used all day 6 days a week... so theyre payed for and the insurance is not a problem... cause theyre kept busy.... so if your gonna do it... make sure you can get the work! which is gonna be kinda hard in this economy... but theres money to be made if you can find clients!
