Unlike standard loads that utilize a semi truck, hot shot shipments are pulled by medium to heavy-duty trucks (Class 3-5) with specialty trailers.
These trailers transport loads that are 10,000 lbs or less. They are shorter and easier to maneuver, making them a common choice for urgent, lighter freight.
Gooseneck trailers can accommodate heavier loads and offer superior stability by hitching over the truck's rear axle. They are the workhorses of the hot shot industry.
Lowboy trailers have a low center of gravity, laying flat on the ground when detached. They are ideal for shipping tall loads without exceeding legal height limits.
