Hot Shot driving

I have no idea if this should be here, OT, or Money board but figured the range of posters here I may be able to get some info.
Anybody ever driven HotShot or know people that have? Ive kinda bounced the idea around in my head. The wife doesnt like the idea of me being gone days at a time but I figure I can stay pretty busy in state and it cant be any worse than working night rotation shift work. No idea how much money is in it but if I can hit 40k a year it will be enough

You can make that pretty easy

Contacts, contacts, contacts and not the kind for your eyes 
40k a year will be no problem. You can probably make that 4x over depending on how much you run.

My worker thought about doing that on his off days. We would both drive. If he buys the rig im all in

You could hit 40K without trying. As someone else said... This is all about contacts. Good luck if you take this venture
ETA: up in ND hot shots are charging by the hour. Anywhere from $100-$500 depending how bad you need it. One shitty producing well up there is 100K/day when it's shut down. EVERYONE pays top dollar. Those rates don't include fuel which is charged by the mile also

I know a few people who have done it and they all hated it. Pretty much no life because they had to be on hot standby 24/7

this may or may not help. I work for an O&G Derrick barge company in Houma. We got shot parts and equipment pretty regularly to the docks. We also use acme hot shots when we need to get personnel to or from the dock outside of crew change. Also we use acme for crew changes (15-25 people)
I asked a driver how his schedule was and he said that him and a list of drivers rotated calls/jobs. It could be 1 day before it's his turn again or 1-2 weeks. it all depends on how busy they are. when it gets close to his turn again its similar to being on call, he said.

I knew a guy that made one trip to Canada a month. I want to say his bring home pay was 5k.

Have not read responses,
Yes, you can make some money, especially if you know the logistics guy at a major port location.
My friend has asked me a few times to do it but I'm not interested at the moment.
