How do you start a hot shot trucking business? Here are 15 steps to guide you through the process from start to finish.
Hot shot trucking involves delivering time-sensitive, expedited loads for a single customer. The term comes from the Texas oil fields in the days when truckers would wait outside plants for a part to be completed. Then they would rush the part to the oil field so the company could continue production as quickly as possible.
