Like eb290 said it is hard for a 3/4 ton to work in hot shot. Unless you have a a customer that ships alot of small parts or has a need for rocket launchers . But you will need to have hazmat endorsement on you license for that kind of work. I work for chilli peppers hot shot out of Kilgore Texas .

I was in Kilgore yesterday, took a cementing head to Gulfstream Services on 135 north. Got stopped by the DOT on the way up, he wanted to check my overhang, knew I was ok, 47 inches,I had measured it. I had it pushed all the way up to my head board, it was almost 44 ft long.

No it is not a restaurant . I know exactly were you were eb290 . I have hauled loads out of there many times. I have not been with this company long. But they are treating me way better than benchmark ever did .They bent me over hard and had their way with me
