I thought "hot shots" were the duallys transporting small light yellow iron or the like. Kinda like these guys : Hot Shot Logistics, LLC.-Hot Shot Services, Hot Shot Trucking Companies, Hot Shot Trucking, Hot Shot Truck, Hot Shot Freight
Never knew they were people jumping from job to job.

I was looking at their job listing, what do you think they mean by "No Company forced Physical Damage required"?

Hotshots are usually either the pick-up guys, Sprinter vans, or the 6-wheelers like FedEx Custom Critical, Express-1 and the likes. You are using the wrong term so i have no idea what you are talking about or asking......


The only ACME I have seen are those in Texas around Houston.... all mexicans and all hauling pipe loads.

I have a friend and his wife who drives for FedEx CC and they just got put into a 2010 T-660 with a ICT sleeper set-up. They love it, tho they stay on the road for 2-3months at a time but get to go all over in a brand new rig and make a damn good earning.

You got it, I'm stepping out of the W900 and into a 05 Ram 3500.
Acme has everything from a 1 ton flatbed up to class 8 trucks.

Sounds like a plan.... I was going to do this here in NW Indiana since I live 30min from all the travel trailer manufactures but I am not sure I want to DH all the way back from where-ever I deliver the trailers
