    What’s the difference between Hotshot Trucking and Owner Operator?

    By J Spangenberg | Blog, Trucking Companies | Comments are Closed | 29 March, 2021 |

    You may ask yourself, “What’s the difference between Hotshot Trucking and Owner Operators?”

    We’re going to break it down for you!

    Owner Operator

    A Self-Employed Commercial Truck Driver, who takes on jobs using their own truck.

    • May have more stable clients than a Hotshot trucker would.

    Hotshot Trucking

    A Freelance Truck Driver who’s clients can change every week and…

    • Can pick up urgent tasks that need to be completed right away.
    • If their Vehicle is under 10,000 lbs, they do not require a CDL license.
    • Can be cheaper to run than owning a Trucking Company.
    • Smaller Loads, and tend to travel shorter distances.
    • More versatile with vehicles, can have Tractor Trailers, Straight Trucks or Vans.

    Note: Keep in mind that all Hotshot Truckers are technically Owner Operators, however, there is also a difference between the two terms.

    What are some things they both have in common?

    • Both are Self-Employed businesses.
    • Can create their own schedules.
    • Can make more money than when they’re with a Trucking Company.
    • Have to pay for their own Trucking Insurance, Repairs… etc..
    • Can be selective of the freight they carry.
