Question hot shotin

I'm curious to how hard it is to start up working hot shottin. i have decided school wasnt for me and I really enjoy out driving and have hauled trailers all my life and was just curious how hard it is to get on with some company and just the basic stuff you need.
thanks for all the help

Try www.hotshothauling.com - a good reference for you. There is a fair amount involved (getting the right truck, trailer, insurance, registrations, etc), and it can be "tough" to make a living at - but that is your decision. Just do your due diligence homework - best of luck

Well, im planning on getting into it also...Just make sure your trailer truck combo has a CGVWR of 30,000+, and if your hauling with your own stuff..you will have to pay your own insurance. I would suggest a aluminum trailer...for emties coming back.

it aint hard to get started if you got the moneyplan on spending about 2 to 3 grand for ins, plates dot # and you will need a class a liscense, learn how to fill out a log book, and then you will need to buy a trailer most want 40ft, if you get a 40 get with a dovetail more hauling options you have more freight but go to hotshothauling.com their is a place under legal issues that has the answers you want as far as getting started, as far as an aluminum trailer you better have big bucks a steel one runs about 9 grand not counting all your chains and straps good luck
