RECENTLY DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN. WILL RESUME BUSINESS FEBRUARY, 2008. DOT NUMBERS HAVE BEEN VOLUNTARILY SUSPENDED UNTIL MY RETURN. Retired Police Officer driving Hotshot transport full-time. I am new to the USHIP Board and do not have a great deal of feedback, but I do have many other references available. My business currently consists of one truck, a 32' dovetail gooseneck equipment trailer, and a 40' flatdeck / lowboy gooseneck trailer. 95% of my work is transporting for a major steel manufacturer, and a local heavy equipment dealer, but I also seek backhauls from time to time on distant drop-offs. I also transport auto auction vehicles for a large vehicle wholesaler, occasionally. I operate under my own US and TX DOT authorities, and carry $100K in cargo insurance.
