    Thx so much for your content, I'm looking to get back in the industry. I've been out for a while and I still have a few more things I need to do, before I'm ready! I'm not trying to get with a company anymore, and I'm interested in Hotshot delivery. I saw from the video that hooking up with a dispatcher is a good way to go starting out! As a Hotshot driver, what kind of insurance do I need starting out? My license was suspended for quite some time, and I lost them for a DUI and charge. How will this affect me with insurance. Do know how far back DAC is allowed to go in their reports?

    Thank you for the content. I am going to do sprinter OTR expedited and a dispatcher will make this easy for sure and fast. I want to be on the road non-stop. I am in FL, do you have any advice? I am fairly new at this but I have experience helping people moving from State to State. Would love to have a chat with you as you seems very knowledgeable.

    Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ how do you go about finding shippers? If I was to look at a DAT board can I book those loads myself or I would have to pay for them?

      You can book loads yourself as long as all your paperwork is right

  • @horizonspecter530
    @horizonspecter530 ปีที่แล้ว

    honestly i prefer to use a broker over a shipper, simply due to the fact that a shipper may use 3,4,5 or 50 brokers. if the broker messes up the paperwork and the shipper cuts them from their freight ill go find one of the other brokers to get it. if i mess up the paperwork, via shortages, overages or a driver decides to dip mid transit with product i can never run that product again at that awesome rate that i built my company around. 300 dollars per load is a lot especially if your running 20 per week on a dedicated lane. but using a broker allows us to just drive. no bs from the shipper.
