Hot Shot loads
Why Choose Hot Shot Loads?
This is for the transportation of smaller, time-sensitive loads. These services use smaller trucks, which allows for faster delivery and flexibility. They are ideal for urgent situations and can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments than a full truckload.
We deliver solutions, not problems
We work with trusted carriers, utilizing technology for route optimization and real-time tracking, and offer while-glove delivery as a value-added service.
Ideal for delivering smaller, time-sensitive loads quickly. If you’re only shipping a small amount, it can also be more cost-effective than renting an entire truck.
EQUIPMENT TYPES
Dry van box trailers are enclosed semi-trailers used for transporting non-perishable goods and are the most common type of freight transport in the U.S.
Flatbed trailers have no sides or roof, which makes getting to the cargo super easy. This means loading and unloading is quicker and less likely to cause any damage. They are built to support heavy loads and withstand harsh road conditions.
A straight truck is a vehicle with one solid frame that supports both the cab and the cargo. Unlike tractor-trailers, where the cab can be separated from the trailer, straight trucks keep everything connected.
These vans are great for logistics since they can carry big and heavy items like equipment, supplies, and packages. They are ideal for businesses that prioritize moving goods over transporting passengers.
