Hot shot driving?

How do you get involved in hot shot driving? Does this require a special licence or your truck to be equipped according to different laws? Then what do you look for in work? Thanks for any help.

Their has been a lot of discussion on this subject before if you do some research on the forums you should be able to find it. there are specil laws and liscense for the hot shot work. you fall under the laws that the big trucks go by
