What is HotShot?

Hot shot delivery (also known as hotshot trucking) is a delivery service that aims to ensure timely deliveries of time-sensitive cargo. Typically, these are LTL freights involving loads that are less than the capacity of a full truck load.

Hot shot delivery differs from expedited shipping in that truck drivers do not stay on standby waiting for the job. Instead, hot shot jobs are distributed among a fleet of hot shot drivers on a load board.
