Put a load of wet sand in the back and see what THAT does! LOL. Did you have to shovel it off ...for the $20?
In all fairness, I thought I read the OP was thinking (toying with the idea) about hauling ...for people, but not outright renting his truck for others to drive. He'd be able to refuse jobs he didn't feel good about. That's how I read it, correct me if I'm wrong. I agree on the hot-shot trucking. A guy would need a trailer and probably a dually for that job ...or at least a 3/4 ton. I know a guy real well who was making more than his previous job doing h/s trucking (and loves it!). He quit his former job this spring to go full time. Last I saw him he was doing pretty well (he never gave me any numbers), and was thinking about hiring a guy to drive another truck. His wife has a good steady job which carries health insurance etc. Those things have to be factored in. The driving and hours have to be something that a guy enjoys, or like anything it could become a grind.
