Commission Hot Shot Dually Drivers and Flatbed Truck Drivers both require CDL and DOT certification. Hot Shot drivers typically handle urgent, short-distance deliveries using dually trucks, while flatbed drivers often transport larger, bulkier loads over longer distances. The main difference lies in the work environment and delivery type, with Hot Shot drivers focusing on quick, regional jobs and flatbed drivers on longer hauls.
