“Hotshots aren’t real truck drivers.”
We hear it all the time. 😂
But we’re still dealing with DOT inspections, cargo securement, HOS regulations, weather, breakdowns, customers, permits, and deadlines.
Different equipment. Same responsibility.
At the end of the day, the freight doesn’t care what badge you’re wearing, it just needs to get delivered safely and on time.
What’s your take? Are hotshot drivers truck drivers or not? Drop it in the comments. 👀👀
