    Hotshot Flatbed Equipment

    got to see a pic of that 3/4 ton with a dot approved sleeper. if its a factory quad cab it wont be a dot sleeper even if he takes the back seats out and puts a mattress the dims will not work. you can sleep in the backseat but you have to log off duty and not sleeper birth. that eliminates...

    Hotshot Flatbed Equipment

    you are correct I use a f 550 drw. the cummins is great but not sure how his rear end will hold out. I watched a video of a guy hauling 20000 lbs of gravel pulling a dump trailer that had an empty weight over 12,000 so over 30k using a ford f-150 srw with a eco boost. he went about 20 miles...

    Hotshot Flatbed Equipment

    you might want more than one set of tarps as they can be pretty heavy I mostly use 2 16' tarps with 4' drops. really don't like to tarp. but if you want to open to more freight get some 8' drops. depends on how much you want to lug around they seem fairly heavy and I am kinda lazy make sure to...

    Is expediting feasible?

    I think 150 yr gross in a tractor is very possible but I would pull flatbed or curtain side but as mentioned the rule of thirds still apply.

    What is a reasonable pay for an O/O of a under CDL 26' box truck ?

    1k per day is reasonable if you have your own authority. but if your active don't go running for no $1.35 per mile that's insane. find the freight thats ready now and they need it now and you will be alot better off.$450 a day for 12 stops is trash you should be getting at least $600 per day in...

    Best way to find reliable fleet owners.

    ask them to bring the van to you and buy you lunch.if they don't have enough spare change in the pocket to do that then don't expect much out of them.

    If Trump gets his wish....

    I remember a time when freight did not come easy from the boarder towns.fuel was half what is now and the rate per mile for any type of unit was always greater than the cost of 1 gal of fuel .so with that said maybe if the borders would close we could make america great again.
