I am looking into starting a hot shot business out of Knoxville, TN this fall/winter. I have a 2026 Ram 2500 with the diesel so the payload is on the lower end. I would have to start on load boards but I have cash to get me through the first year.
I am trying to figure out the optimum trailer for that situation. I have seen a lot of people say go with a light 40 foot deck (like a PJ LS GVWR 15,680 empty 6760) but I also see some say the 30+5 trailers are more suited for my truck. Which will open availability for the most loads? The 40 ft or the 35 with a bit more available payload?
Unfortunately, buying a different truck is not an option. I will have a CDL. Any advice would be appreciated.
