The Heart of Texas Hotshotting
Hotshot trucking began in the oil fields of Texas, where rapid delivery of equipment and parts was often required to keep operations running. Today, it has evolved into a cost-effective solution for many industries, providing higher speeds and greater agility than standard 53ft semi-trucks.
Key Benefits & Operational Logic
- Speed & Agile Routing: Smaller rigs bypass many of the logistical bottlenecks that slow down larger trailers.
- Cost-Efficiency: For smaller loads, hotshot services offer lower overhead and specialized pricing without the "Full Truckload" premium.
- Versatile Trailer Support: Using RGN, Double Drop, and Gooseneck trailers, hotshotters handle everything from CNC machines to agricultural tractors.
