Description

Congratulations on starting your new hot shot trucking business!

Since the pandemic over 100,000 new hot shot trucks have entered the transportation industry.  Many entrepreneurs had not idea that they could enter the transportation industry with a 1 ton dually and 30 foot flatbed trailer.  As the need for more outside work rose, so did the need for more transportation providers.  However, there is more to being a hot shot business than just having a truck and trailer.  There are also legal avenues and regulations that must be followed.

In this course we will teach you the basics of Hot Shot Trucking

We will go over the following:

  • How to set up and apply for you motor carrier authority

  • Getting the right insurance coverages

  • Making sure that you have all of the correct securement equipment for your flatbed

  • Safety essentials and tools

  • Preparing for the Road

  • Preparing for the Load

  • Communicating appropriately and effectively with brokers

  • Booking and securing loads

  • Getting paid

  • Paperwork essentials

  • Choosing the right factoring company for your business

  • Selecting the right dispatching company for your company

  • Lifestyle of this business

We hope to be a source of information to help you get started on your new adventure.
