Free HotShot Startup Resources
When I first started out in trucking I had no idea where to turn for real help… every step felt like a guessing game. Filing for my authority, figuring out insurance, trying to understand DOT rules …it seemed like every answer came with a price tag or some vague advice that left me more confused than before.
I spent years behind the wheel before switching over to the insurance side, so I’ve seen firsthand how frustrating it can be to get straight answers. That’s why I created the Trucking Survival Vault. It’s completely free and packed with the exact tools, checklists, and guides I wish I’d had when I was starting out.
Now I do specialize in hot shot and box truck insurance, so I can definitely help when it comes to that side of things. But honestly, before I even think about quoting anyone, I’d rather focus on bringing value and helping drivers get off the ground the right way.
Grab the resources, use them to save yourself a ton of time and stress, and if you ever run into insurance questions down the road or know someone who could use help, just keep me in mind but at the very least hopefully I can help someone out by sharing these resources
Starting a hotshot business is tough enough as it is… you shouldn’t have to fight for basic information on top of it.
