Frequently Asked Questions

What is hotshot freight trucking?

Hotshot freight uses smaller, agile trucks—often Class 3-5 pickups with gooseneck or flatbed trailers—to move urgent, time-sensitive loads without waiting for standard truckload schedules. It is ideal for project parts, oilfield service equipment, construction materials, machinery components, and other freight that is too urgent for LTL but does not require a full tractor-trailer.
