Open All Night (Severen x Reader)

Summary: The Hooker clan breaks decorum and sets up camp for a few weeks in a small Southern city after shaking Caleb’s father off their trail. It doesn’t take them long to find out another one of their kind has already made the turf home. You just hope they won't cause any trouble. [This is an AU.]

Death announced its arrival with a holler. The door swung open, and as each one ambled inside the bar with varying degrees of bravado, you knew what they were. Could smell it on them. The crimson glow from the neon lights that washed over each patron was especially appropriate. It’d been years since you met anyone who was like you, and now six were sliding into a large corner booth.

Most of the ragtag bunch didn’t pay you any mind, too absorbed in taking stock of the bar patrons, mostly regulars who you’d known for years. As you mixed drinks and poured beers, you kept an eye on them as best as you could. Then, the older man made eye contact with you. Clearly the de facto leader of the group. For a few moments, you held his gaze. The woman at his side turned to glare at you before a grin spread across her face. Not one to be intimidated, you grabbed the notepad from your apron and made your way over to the table.

“I’m Y/N, how can I help y’all tonight?” you asked with a deceptive cheerfulness, your eyes scanning the group before lowering your voice. “If you’re here for what I think you’re here for, I’m gonna tell you right now, this ain’t the place.”

The older man held up a weathered, assuring hand. “We ain’t gonna encroach your territory.”

You nodded. “Good, then I’ll make some drinks. On the house.”

“Lookit that hospitality,” the shaggy-haired man with his worn leather jacket crooned mockingly. He licked his lips. “Oughta give you a tip.”

“Charming,” you said sardonically. 

The way he looked at you nearly sent a shiver down your spine, but instead you straightened your back, maintaining your composure. He winked at you, and you smiled despite yourself. 

“I’ll be right back,” you said, turning around to walk back to the bar and make the promised drinks.

“Don’t mind Severen,” the woman said, getting up to walk over to the bar with you. “He’s got hot air where his brain should be. I’m Diamondback.” She named the rest of the clan, and you tried to commit their names to memory.

Clans weren’t uncommon among your kind. They guaranteed safety, though it often meant a nomadic lifestyle as to not draw attention to the sheer number of humans killed. This clan, however, seemed almost hellbent on causing a scene, clearly disappointed you were standing between them and having their fun.

You smirked a bit upon hearing the conversation that had started in the corner booth upon your absence.

“What’re the fuckin’ odds,” Jesse sighed.

“What is it?” Caleb asked in a hushed tone.

“Ya don’t gotta whisper,” Severen said. “She can hear us anyhow.”

“She’s one of us?”

Homer made a raspberry noise. “Duh.”

You snickered, bringing your attention to Diamondback, who was grinning at her clan’s antics. “Nice to meet you. I guess.”

Pulling a flask from your apron pocket, you glanced in either direction as you opened it, pouring the contents into each of the drinks you’d made. The blood was best concealed in dark liquor. It was relatively fresh, having drained it from an asshole trucker who had spent half the previous night harassing you. 

Some nights, during long shifts where you couldn’t carve out time to hunt someone down yourself, the gruesome mixture was all that could keep you going. Your instincts scared you sometimes, as people you considered friends so quickly warped into potential meals. Hands shaking, saliva practically dripping from your lips when you handed them their drinks.

“Just you out here?” Diamondback asked, grabbing two glasses while you put the rest on a tray.

“I’m solitary, if that’s what you mean.”

“Hell, good for you. Must be tough.”

“You get used to it.”

Bringing the tray of drinks over, you set each glass in front of the group. Homer smiled when he saw you were giving him the same thing as everyone else. You just hoped Jimmy, the bartender and owner, wouldn’t notice you serving alcohol to someone who looked like an eleven year old boy. You supposed if you were decades old but were stuck in the body of a kid, you wouldn’t appreciate being treated like one by someone who knew better.

Everyone in the clan looked pretty young, save for Jesse. You figured Mae and Caleb had been hardly out of high school when they were turned, Severen and Diamondback in their twenties or thirties, about the same age you had been when you were turned.  

You were impressed as Severen threw back what was in the glass, while everyone else sipped somewhat cautiously. 

“Blood’s not fresh, but it ain’t bad,” Jesse said, the closest you’d get to a compliment from him.

“You’re not gonna run off now, are ya?” Severen asked, not even trying to hide the way he was drinking you in, the murky blood concoction you’d just served dripping from the corner of his lips.

Out of defiance and curiosity, you did the opposite.

“Hey Jimmy!” you shouted. “I’m taking my thirty!”

He gave you a thumbs up from the bar, and you sat down next to Severen. You pulled a pack of cigarettes from your apron pocket, taking one for yourself and leaving the rest on the table, another peace offering of sorts. No fucking trouble in your territory.

“Don’t come across others like us very often,” Jesse said.

“Me either. Y’all are the first ones to come along since I’ve been working here.”

“How long’s that been?” Mae asked.

“‘Bout eight years.”

“We won’t be stayin’ that long,” Jesse said with a chuckle. “Few weeks at most.”

You nodded your silent approval. It’d be nice having others like you around for a while. Besides, they could only do so much damage in a few weeks. The city was far too big for that, though their disregard for human life of any kind gave you some pause, especially since they didn’t feel the need to conceal it from you.

In the following two weeks, they’d come and go during your shifts, some in pairs, some alone, sometimes the whole group. Severen almost always came in when you were working, sitting at the bar and blatantly flirting with you. He nearly started half a dozen fights with men who dared do the same. You found it flattering. Jimmy thought it was bad for business and threatened to ban Severen unless you got him under control. The notion almost made you laugh. You weren’t sure anyone could control him.

As a compromise, you promised to spend one of your nights off with Severen. He jumped at the offer, the two of you meeting outside of the bar just after sunset one warm evening.

“Ridin’ solo tonight, cowboy?” you asked when you walked over to him.

“Somethin’ like that,” he said. “You ever hunt with someone else before?”

“Nope.”

He grinned. “Shit, I get to pop your cherry.”

“Somethin’ like that,” you echoed, smiling when he put his arm around you.

The two of you wandered downtown for a while, ducking in and out of various shops as they were about to close. Being around Severen was the first time in a long time that you didn’t feel like you had to be guarded. Even with your human friends, you always had to hold part of yourself back. 

“You like workin’ at bars?�� he asked.

“Yeah, get to meet a lot of interesting people,” you said, nudging him with your elbow. “It’s pretty much the only job where I can work the night shift and not worry about sunlight. Plus, everyone’s too drunk to say anything about me looking the same for years.”

He snorted, shaking his head. “How old are you anyway?”

“Don’t you know you should never ask a lady her age?” you said. “If you must know, I’m 74.”

“I reckon I’m about a hundred by now.”

“You’re lying!”

“Scout’s honor.”

“Well, hurry up old man,” you teased. “I’m getting hungry.”

The two of you kept walking until you reached a more isolated part of the city, one where the streetlights flickered endlessly or didn’t work at all. If you didn’t feed at the bar, that area was your usual hunting grounds. The Hooker clan seemed to have the same idea as you, since murders spiked in the area and were all over the news. It was more desolate than ever as a result. 

You and Severen stood in the shadows, observing passersby for your first target of the night. Following Severen’s gaze, you spotted a man leaning against a building, smoking beneath a dim light. You frowned. You knew him. Hank. A regular patron at the bar.

“Severen, not him.”

He scoffed. “Don’t tell me you have a soft spot for these people.”

“He has a wife and kids at home,” you pleaded softly.

Severen looked from the man to you, his hands balled into fists as he huffed. “There anyone around here you don’t know?”

“That’s why I work in bars. Got my pick of strangers.”

“And it don’t bother you none that they might have a wife and kids at home?”

You were silent for a moment as you weakly defended yourself. “It’s different.”

“No, it ain’t,” he said, grabbing your arm. “You gotta toughen up, baby.” The term of endearment left a sour taste in your mouth when he used it, mocking your hesitation, your sentimentality. 

He practically dragged you over to Hank, this man you’d known for years, who’d proudly shown you his kids’ school photos every fall. Hank’s eyes lit up in recognition upon seeing you, but just as quickly that light went out when Severen released you from his grip and dug his fingers into Hank’s scalp. You watched, mortified as Hank’s neck snapped at the force Severen used to pull his head back. 

Severen didn’t hesitate to sink his teeth into Hank’s skin, lapping up the blood that flowed freely from the wound he inflicted. The primal hunger that you tried so hard to control clouded your senses, as did an unprecedented lust for the savage man before you, who had no qualms about killing, enjoyed it even. He was free, undoubtedly dangerous, and you couldn’t keep yourself from feeding on Hank’s dying body with him. 

You indulged, feeling the familiar satisfaction of consuming blood rush through your body like a bolt of lightning. Sometimes, when you were especially famished, feeding felt better than sex. Between the blood and Severen pawing at you, humping your blood-soaked body like a stray dog, you felt dizzy.

“I need you,” he practically growled. “Fuck, baby.”

“I know, but we can’t stick around here.” You panted, your hands fruitlessly trying to keep his passion at bay. “My place ain't far.”

His frustration tore through his throat, the blood dripping from his chin the epitome of the apex predator in the moonlight. Nevertheless, he relented, the two of you rushing to your car, which you’d parked just a block over from the bar, as if something in you sensed something like this would happen. The area was dark and mostly desolate, and you took off before he’d even fully shut the passenger door.

You didn’t live far, though the drive felt endless even with your doing twenty over and running through red lights. The headlights seemed to cross as you swerved about the road, trying to drive steady with Severen practically climbing over to your seat, hands roughly groping your breasts while he dug his teeth into your skin.

He shoved his hand between your legs, rubbing the heel of his palm against your cunt, the fabric from your jeans creating a rough friction that you keened into, and your arms jerked as you nearly steered off the side of the road.

“Fuckin’ pull over,” he ordered, his voice low.

“Almost there.”

“Yeah?” 

He applied more pressure, and you moaned, seeing your street in the distance. “Yeah, right there.”

By the time you pulled haphazardly into the driveway, you felt like your heart was going to explode if it even beat at all. The small house you rented was relatively secluded for the area, something you were especially thankful for as you were sure you and Severen would draw attention from any passersby.

Not bothering with the lights, you pulled him by his belt loops into your bedroom, his lips attached to yours until you began peeling off your blood-soaked clothes. The copper scent that filled the room nearly had you drooling, and as soon as he kicked off his boots, you pounced on him.

He reached between you, fingers rubbing circles in your clit, your pussy already sensitive from his teasing in the car.

“Severen, c’mon,” you whined. “Don’t—ah—“

You could feel the tip of his cock poke at your wet cunt, and you lifted your hips in response. He slid into you, his thrusts deep and hard. Sex with human men was underwhelming, but it was something. Severen was a different beast entirely. You choked on your own moan, wrapping around your throat until you realized it was his hand, you could actually feel it.

“Fuck, I’m gonna fill you up,” he hissed through gritted teeth. “You’re gonna be good and take it all, ain’t you, baby?”

You nodded frantically, unable to speak.

“Knew you would—fuck—“

He pounded into you, your pussy clenching around his cock. Sweat brought the dried blood on your skin almost back to life, the smell triggering something deep in you as your bodies practically stuck together. Though he stared intensely in your eyes, you struggled to keep yours open as you neared your orgasm. He reached his first, though, a deep groan as he threw his head back, hips bucking violently against you as you felt warmth fill you.

Pleasure cracked through your body like a whip, and you arched your back, a moan coming from deep in your belly as you came. You couldn’t remember the last time your muscles ached, a dull pain as you settled next to Severen, who’d collapsed beside you on the bed.

“Does this always happen when you hunt with someone?”

“Once. A long time ago. She was a lil’ too wild for me, even.”

“Shut up,” you laughed, lightly hitting his bare chest.

“You oughta come with us. Forget this place and be with your own kind,” he said. 

“It’s not that simple. I’ve made a life here. I have a job, and friends,” you said, as if you hadn’t eaten one of those friends just a few hours earlier.

“You ain’t lonely?”

“Sometimes,” you said. “You don’t ever feel suffocated with so many people around all the time?”

“No, I do best with an audience.”

“I can tell.”

When morning came, your blackout curtains shielded you and Severen from the unforgiving sun, the two of you curled up in your bed, dried blood caked on your skin. About an hour before your shift, you took a shower, though you couldn’t quite scrub all of the blood from your nails. You hoped no one at the bar would notice.

Severen had made himself busy wandering around your house, opening every drawer and cabinet he came across when you told him you were headed to work. He nodded, not sparing you a glance when he mentioned he and the rest of the clan would stop by later on. Strange.

Your car’s upholstery was fucked, but you hoped with enough bleach and elbow grease, you could get it looking less like a murder scene. It kind of was one. You tried not to think about that too much.

Otherwise, your shift went by without consequence, though you’d heard people talking about how Hank had been found brutally murdered.

“You sure you wanna work tonight?” Jimmy asked. “If you wanna go home early, you can. Cops are sayin’ it was an animal attack, but I’m not so sure.”

“I’ll be fine, Jimmy. Thanks,” you said, forcing a smile that just as quickly fell when you saw Severen walk in with the rest of the Hooker clan. 

He hadn’t even bothered to clean the previous night’s blood off, giving you a wicked grin when he saw you.

“How're you shitkickers feelin’ tonight?” he hollered. “Better be great, ‘cause it’s gonna be your last.”

Jesse grabbed a bottle off the bar, smashing it against a man’s face and then pouncing when he collapsed on the floor in pain.

“What the—“ Jimmy muttered, reaching for the rifle he kept beneath the bar.

You watched in horror as Severen jumped on top of the bar, and with a fluid kick, sliced Jimmy’s throat open with the razor sharp spurs on the heel of his boot. Your boss collapsed in your arms, his garbled choking noises drowned out by the sound of gushing blood, and possessed by your instincts, you devoured, your thirst leaving you content to ignore the pandemonium that had broken out among the patrons.

Their shouts echoed in your ears. Bitch. Monster. Demon. Vampire. Someone had thrown a bottle at you. You didn’t even flinch.

By the time you had come to your senses, blood dripping from your mouth, eyes wide and wild, the clan had made a meal of nearly everyone in sight. You caught Severen’s gaze, an expression of pride and affection on his blood-covered face. You stormed over to him, grabbing him by his jacket collar.

“Why did you do that? I’ve known these people for nearly ten years and—“

“Ten years ain’t nothin’. ‘Nother ten and most of ‘em would be dead anyway.”

“That’s not the point! They were my—“

“Friends? Some friends, turned on you real fast once they saw you chowin’ down on your old boss.”

“You better decide what your next move is quick, ‘cause once we burn this place down, cops are gonna be here faster than you can blink,” Diamondback said from a few feet away, pushing aside a young man she’d just drained of blood. Letterman jacket. College football star. Not anymore.

“She’s coming with us,” Severen said in a tone you knew there was no use in trying to argue against. “No more of this human bullshit.”

Jesse nodded. “Alright, then. Let’s light this place up.”

You watched helplessly as they grabbed bottles off the bar, stuffing them with cloth they’d ripped from the bodies of the dead patrons and rushing outside. Severen handed you a bottle, and you had little choice but to throw the explosive when he lit the end of it, watching the life you’d so carefully built for yourself literally go up in flames.

Hearing sirens in the distance, you took Severen’s hand, tears blurring your vision as you ran into the uncertainty of your nomadic life with the Hooker clan.

Hello Truckers, how are you doing this evening? It’s currently 10 PM, and I’m aware that many of you are still navigating the roads. We thought it would be a good idea to share some safety tips to assist you during your journey.

Driving at night presents unique challenges, but with the right precautions, truck drivers can stay safe on the road. Here are five safety tips for night driving:

1. Use Proper Lighting: Ensure all your vehicle’s lights are functioning correctly. Use high beams when appropriate, but switch to low beams when approaching other vehicles to avoid blinding them.

2. Stay Alert: Fatigue can be a serious issue at night. Take regular breaks, and if you start to feel drowsy, consider pulling over to rest. Staying well-rested is crucial for maintaining focus.

3. Adjust Speed: Nighttime driving can reduce visibility and make it harder to judge distances. Adjust your speed to allow for longer reaction times and be prepared for unexpected obstacles.

4. Watch for Wildlife: Animals are more active at night, especially around rural areas. Keep an eye out for any signs indicating wildlife crossings and be prepared to stop if necessary.

5. Maintain a Safe Following Distance: At night, it can be harder to see ahead. Keep a greater distance between your truck and the vehicle in front of you to give yourself ample time to react to sudden stops or changes.

So, we trust that these safety tips will support you in achieving success on the road. Should you require any assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us at any time. We're dedicated to being here and available throughout the night. And please find yourself a safe place to park!

Winter Road Safety: How to Prepare Your Semi-Truck in Hydro

Winter in Oklahoma can be a real doozy, especially for truckers braving those icy roads and bone-chilling temperatures. But don't let Old Man Winter put the brakes on your hauling! With a little preparation and some preventative TLC, you can keep your semi-truck running smoothly and safely all season long in Hydro.

Think of winterizing your truck as giving it a cozy winter coat and a pair of sturdy snow boots. It's all about prepping that rig for the challenges of winter weather and ensuring you're ready to tackle whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

Winterizing Wisdom for Your Semi-Truck

Check Your Coolant: Antifreeze is your best friend in freezing temperatures. Make sure you have the proper mixture to prevent your engine from turning into a block of ice.

Inspect Hoses and Belts: Cold weather can make hoses and belts brittle and prone to cracking. Give them a good once-over and replace any that look worn or worse for wear.

Battery Boost: Cold temperatures can zap your battery's power. Make sure it's fully charged and in good condition to avoid those dreaded cold-weather starts.

Tire Traction: Consider switching to winter tires for better grip on icy roads. Also, ensure your tires have plenty of tread depth for biting into those slick surfaces.

Fuel System Prep: Use an anti-gel fuel additive to prevent fuel from gelling in frigid temperatures. This will keep you from getting stranded with a frozen fuel line.

Brake Check Bonanza: Make sure your brakes are in tip-top shape for those slippery roads. Inspect brake pads, rotors, and drums for wear and tear.

Lights On: Visibility is key in winter weather. Check all your lights, including headlights, taillights, and clearance lights, to ensure they're working properly.

Pack an Emergency Kit: Be prepared for the unexpected with a well-stocked emergency kit. Include items like blankets, extra clothes, food, water, a flashlight, and jumper cables.

Driver Training: Provide yourself or your drivers with winter driving tips and safety training. A little knowledge can go a long way in preventing accidents and keeping everyone safe.

Power Inverters for Truckers: Essential Gear for the Road

In the trucking industry, drivers spend long hours on the road, often far from the conveniences of home. For these professionals, having access to reliable power for their devices and appliances is essential. That’s where a power inverter for Truckers Network becomes invaluable. By converting the truck’s DC battery power into AC power, a power inverter allows truck drivers to use and charge essential devices, making life on the road significantly more comfortable and productive.

Why Power Inverters Are a Game-Changer for Truckers

Truck drivers need power inverters to meet various daily requirements, from staying connected with family to preparing meals or keeping essential medical equipment running. Whether it’s charging a laptop, running a microwave, or powering a small fridge, a power inverter ensures drivers can enjoy modern conveniences while on the move.

Types of Power Inverters for Truckers

There are several types of power inverters designed to meet the diverse needs of truckers:

Pure Sine Wave Inverters: These inverters provide consistent, high-quality power suitable for sensitive electronics such as laptops and medical devices. Although they are more expensive, their reliability makes them an excellent choice for professional drivers.

Modified Sine Wave Inverters: These are a more affordable option and work well for less sensitive appliances like coffee makers and power tools. While not as smooth as pure sine wave inverters, they’re a budget-friendly solution for most truckers.

Portable Inverters: These compact units are ideal for drivers with minimal power requirements. They’re easy to carry and can be plugged directly into the truck’s cigarette lighter port.

Key Features to Look For in a Power Inverter

When selecting the right power inverter, truckers should consider the following features:

Top Tire Maintenance Tips for Long-Haul Drivers Near West Memphis, AR

Keeping tires in top shape is crucial for long-haul drivers. Your tires endure constant wear, and poor maintenance can lead to accidents, breakdowns, or increased fuel consumption. Here’s a guide to maintaining your truck’s tires, whether you drive a Isuzu, Peterbilt, or Mack Truck, ensuring safe and efficient travel near West Memphis, AR.

Why Tire Maintenance Matters

Proper tire care reduces risks and saves costs. A well-maintained set of tires improves fuel efficiency and reduces wear on other truck components. Neglecting tire maintenance can lead to blowouts, downtime, or costly repairs, forcing you to search for Truck Repair Near Me or a reliable Mobile Truck Repair service.

Essential Tire Maintenance Tips

1. Check Tire Pressure Regularly

Underinflated tires create more rolling resistance. This burns more fuel and leads to premature wear. Overinflated tires risk blowouts, especially during long hauls. Use a tire pressure gauge daily before hitting the road. Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and keeps you safe on highways.

2. Inspect Tread Depth

Tread depth ensures grip on the road. Tires with low tread are hazardous, particularly during wet weather. A quick inspection using a penny or tread gauge helps you identify tires needing replacement.

3. Rotate Tires Consistently

Uneven wear occurs naturally. Rotating tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles promotes even wear and maximizes lifespan. Local Truck Repair Shops Near Me like I-55 Truck and Trailer Repair can rotate tires efficiently.

4. Monitor for Uneven Wear

Look for signs like bald spots or uneven patterns on tires. These indicate alignment issues. Misaligned wheels strain your tires and suspension, leading to costly repairs. Visit a trusted Truck Repair Shop near West Memphis to fix alignment problems.

5. Keep Your Tires Clean

Mud, debris, or chemicals on tires can lead to degradation. Cleaning your tires during routine washes prevents long-term damage and ensures better traction. Don’t overlook this simple step.

Hotshot Loads in Texas: A Guide for Independent Truckers

Hotshot trucking, a sector of the transportation industry that has rapidly gained popularity, particularly in Texas, involves the hauling of time-sensitive loads that are smaller than what a traditional freight truck would carry. These loads are often delivered using pickup trucks pulling flatbed trailers, and the drivers—commonly known as "hotshot drivers"—are usually independent operators. In Texas, the demand for hotshot trucking is high due to the state's booming industries, including oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing. This article explores the ins and outs of hotshot loads in Texas, offering insights into why the Lone Star State is a hotbed for this growing field.

What Are Hotshot Loads?

Hotshot loads typically involve transporting smaller, urgent shipments. These shipments can range from heavy equipment parts to construction materials, and they need to be delivered quickly to keep projects or operations on schedule. Hotshot loads are usually smaller than full truckloads (FTLs) and are often less than 10,000 pounds. Hotshot drivers usually operate with medium-duty trucks and pull flatbed trailers, making it easier to access remote areas or job sites that traditional big rigs might struggle to reach.

Why Is Texas Ideal for Hotshot Trucking?

Texas, being one of the largest states in the U.S., with vast land and a sprawling economy, is an ideal location for hotshot trucking. Several industries in Texas, including oil and gas, construction, and agriculture, require expedited transportation of equipment and materials, and this demand is a perfect match for the flexibility hotshot trucking provides. Here are a few reasons why Texas is a hotspot for hotshot trucking:

Oil and Gas Industry: Texas is a leader in the oil and gas sector, with numerous wells and rigs scattered across the state. The industry often requires immediate transportation of parts and equipment, making it a key player in the hotshot trucking market.

Construction Boom: With rapid urbanization and development, Texas has a high demand for construction materials. Hotshot drivers frequently transport these materials to construction sites where quick delivery is essential to meet project deadlines.

Manufacturing and Agriculture: Texas has a strong manufacturing base, producing everything from machinery to consumer goods. In addition, the state's vast agricultural sector often needs rapid delivery of supplies or equipment. Hotshot drivers can step in to deliver essential items to rural or hard-to-reach areas.

How Do Hotshot Drivers Find Loads?

Finding hotshot loads in Texas can be relatively easy thanks to several online platforms and load boards that connect drivers with shippers. These digital tools allow drivers to view available loads, negotiate rates, and book jobs. Popular load boards like DAT, uShip, and Truckstop.com are commonly used by hotshot drivers to find both intrastate and interstate jobs. Additionally, many drivers establish relationships with local brokers or businesses to secure a steady flow of work.

Texas also has a thriving hotshot trucking community, with forums and social media groups where drivers share tips, load opportunities, and resources. Networking within these groups can lead to regular, well-paying jobs and a strong reputation among shippers.

Regulations for Hotshot Drivers in Texas

Like any other trucking operation, hotshot trucking is regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT). In Texas, hotshot drivers must adhere to state and federal regulations regarding load weights, hours of service, and safety standards. While Hotshot Loads in Ga often weigh less than 26,000 pounds (which means some drivers might not need a Commercial Driver’s License or CDL), any driver carrying loads over this threshold or transporting hazardous materials will need to obtain a CDL. Drivers also need to ensure that their equipment, including their trucks and trailers, meet the required safety and maintenance standards set by the DOT.

 

Hotshot trucking offers a lucrative and flexible option for independent drivers in Texas. With numerous industries requiring expedited and short-haul delivery services, hotshot loads are a reliable source of income for those willing to invest in the necessary equipment and follow the industry regulations. Whether it's delivering crucial parts to an oil rig in West Texas or transporting materials to a construction site in Dallas, hotshot trucking in Texas plays an integral role in keeping industries moving.

As demand continues to grow, opportunities for hotshot drivers in Texas are expected to expand, making this a viable career path for those looking for independence and a steady stream of work in the transportation industry.
