Hot Shot Trucking: The Reliable Option for Fast Freight Delivery

Design and Features
With a typical load capacity of up to 16,500 pounds, hot shot trailers offer significant flexibility for shipments that don't require a full-sized tractor-trailer. The maximum cargo height for hot shot loads depends on the type of trailer used, with the overall height typically not exceeding 13.5 feet.

Hot shot trailers sit closer to the ground, making loading and unloading more efficient. They use securement tools like ratchet straps, chains, and binders to ensure freight is transported safely. As long as your freight is non-hazardous, non-perishable, and not temperature-sensitive, hot shot trucking is an excellent option for expedited regional or cross-country transportation.

Advantages
Hot shot trucking is the ultimate solution for transporting smaller, time-critical loads that demand rapid, precise delivery. Whether it's a single piece of freight or multiple items, these shipments are completed within strict timeframes and typically go directly to one customer and location. While hot shot deliveries are often local, they can also span state lines or even cross the country. Hot shot drivers tackle a diverse range of loads—from construction equipment to aviation parts to oil rig supplies. It's a fast-paced, dynamic industry where any load that fits on a compact trailer can be hauled, with some truck-and-trailer combinations capable of towing up to an impressive 58,000 pounds. Hot shot trucking is about speed, versatility, and delivering what’s needed—when it’s needed.
