Hot shot freight is our specialty. When a load can't wait for a full truckload carrier to route it, our RAM 3500 dually and gooseneck trailers roll out the same day and drive it straight through.
What's Included
- Same-day and next-day pickup across the lower 48
- Direct, non-stop runs — your freight never gets cross-docked
- Up to 40 ft of deck and roughly 16,000 lbs on a gooseneck
- Live GPS tracking and driver location updates on every load

How We Price This Service
Hot Shot Freight is priced from our published rate sheet. The rate per loaded mile steps down as the run gets longer, a $300 minimum protects short runs, and accessorials are only billed when they actually happen.
Loaded miles × tier rate (min $300) + accessorials = Your rate
1. Loaded miles
Real driving distance from pickup to delivery, calculated with live truck routing — not straight-line distance. Deadhead is already built into the expedited tier rates.
2. Tier rate
Your mileage lands in one of the bands below, from $3.00/mile on short runs down to $undefined/mile at 801–900 miles. Anything past 900 miles is quoted individually.
3. Minimum load charge $300
If the mileage math comes in under the minimum, the minimum applies — dedicating a truck and driver has a floor cost.
4. Accessorials
Extra services, tolls, ferries and permits are added only when incurred, itemized on your invoice.
Example: a 250-mile run bills at $2.50/mile = $625. An 80-mile run at $3.00/mile comes in under the $300 minimum, so the minimum applies instead.
