    New to this site

    Any advice for a burned out mechanic looking for a change to hot shotting??

    Considering an 06 Dodge CTD & a big ash trailer & hitting the road

    Anything I should know??

    Pro's
    Con's
    Other forums?
    Insurance
    Brokers
    How to's

    I've got some cash and a bunch of credit, but what am I getting myself into - before dropping 50k plus on equipment

    I make my own homebrew Biod & run SVO in my 95 6.5td

    thanks
    Tim

    Hot-Shots

    I quit pullings RV's after 2 years of little or no back-hauls. Started with a small hot-shot company in S. Ill and my deadhead is down to less than 5%. They haul frieght, but in a pinch will find me a couple of cars, which is usuallu COD.
    Centrel Ill to Tampa and Miami paid me $1800 after brogage and trailer rent. I really like it!!!!!! Cisco

    TDR has been around since, what 1990? Towrig is pretty new. I'm on both, and more people are coming over here also. It getting bigger, just takes time.

    To be honest, this question should have also been asked in the general forum where it would have been viewed more, this is the intro forum.
