You need to get bonded, line of credit, LLC of some sort. Buddy is getting his stuff in line now, so we can start making a few runs here and there. If you are talking about hot shotting as in car transport.

I used to work for the State Gov, then a Hydraulic shop, tube bending, fitting, rebuilding cylinders, pumps, metal fab, welding. Currently helping a friend who is a sub contractor for a few home improvement stores, doing some auto/marine detailing, some hot rod work around town..

Construction inspector specializing in large concrete cast in place structures aka highrises, roads, stadiums etc. Its outside work but I'd get bored caged up in an office and I like having a company truck. Been doing it for a decade now, don't see myself doing anything else. The hours suck but the pay and benefits are decent but most of all I'm home every night to spend it with my family.
