Hotshot Dispatch
Specialized hotshot dispatch services finding expedited, time-sensitive loads at $2.00-$4.00+ per mile. We keep your gooseneck loaded and moving.
Why Choose Expert Hotshot Dispatch?
Hotshot trucking uses medium-duty trucks with gooseneck trailers to haul time-sensitive and smaller loads. Our hotshot dispatchers specialize in finding expedited freight, partial loads, and niche hauls that pay well for the equipment size.
Lower Entry Cost
Hotshot lets you enter trucking with a pickup truck and gooseneck trailer instead of a full semi. Lower equipment costs mean faster path to profitability.
Expedited Premium
Time-sensitive loads pay premium rates. When a manufacturer needs a part tomorrow, they'll pay more for the speed and flexibility a hotshot provides.
Access More Facilities
Your smaller rig can access construction sites, farms, and facilities that full-size trucks can't reach — opening up exclusive freight opportunities.
Faster Turnaround
Lighter loads mean faster loading and unloading. More loads per week translates to competitive weekly revenue despite lower per-load revenue.

Hotshot Dispatch FAQ
It depends on your GVWR. If your truck and loaded trailer combination exceeds 26,000 lbs, you need a CDL. Many hotshot operators run under this threshold without a CDL, but having one opens up more load options.
Hotshot loads typically range from $2.00-$4.00+ per mile. Expedited and emergency loads can push rates significantly higher. Oilfield loads in active basins often command premium rates.
Most hotshot carriers run 40-foot gooseneck flatbed trailers, which provide the best balance of capacity and versatility. We dispatch for various gooseneck configurations.
Yes. Partial and LTL loads are a hotshot specialty. We find freight that full-size trucks don't want because it doesn't fill a 53-foot trailer, but pays great for your smaller setup.
Hotshot can be very profitable due to lower equipment costs, lower fuel consumption, and the ability to access more loads including expedited freight. Many operators earn competitive net income with lower overhead.
