Hotshot Dispatch
Time-sensitive freight pays a premium — and LoadEX knows how to find it. We source high-paying hotshot loads for pickup truck and gooseneck operators and handle all paperwork so you stay on the road.
Hotshot operators serve industries that need freight moved fast — and those shippers pay for it.
Drill bits, pipe, valves, and oilfield parts — high-urgency freight from the energy sector with premium rates.
Construction equipment components, agricultural parts, and industrial machinery that can't wait days for delivery.
Lumber, drywall, pipe, and building supplies hauled directly to job sites on tight timelines.
Farm parts, equipment, and supplies that need fast delivery during planting and harvest seasons.
Any freight that needs to move NOW — expedited loads where urgency commands higher rates per mile.
Smaller loads that don't fill a full semi — hotshot is the efficient, faster alternative to LTL carriers.
We search DAT, Truckstop, and our broker network to find the best-paying hotshot loads available for your lane.
Whether you have a CDL or not, we find loads that match your licensing and equipment GVWR.
Hotshot shippers will pay more for speed — we know how to negotiate the urgency premium you deserve.
Rate confirmations, BOLs, POD collection, and invoicing — handled for every single load.
We manage your quarterly IFTA fuel tax filings so you stay compliant without the paperwork headache.
No monthly fees, no setup costs. You only pay when you earn — always up to 8%.
Share your truck specs, trailer type, home location, and preferred run length. We build your load profile around your equipment and preferences.
We search DAT, Truckstop, and our broker network, negotiate the best rate, and send you a rate confirmation — all before you leave the driveway.
All check calls, POD collection, invoicing, and any load issues are handled by your dispatcher — you focus on delivering the load.
Hotshot trucking uses pickup trucks (typically Class 3–5 like F-350, F-450, or Ram 3500) with bumper-pull or gooseneck trailers to haul time-sensitive, smaller loads. It's ideal for owner-operators who want lower startup costs and flexible schedules — no semi-truck required.
We find oilfield equipment, small machinery, building materials, agricultural parts, and any time-sensitive freight that needs fast delivery. Hotshot loads often pay a premium because of the urgency — shippers pay more when they need it fast.
CDL requirements for hotshot depend on the combined GVWR of your truck and trailer. Many hotshot rigs under 26,000 lbs combined GVWR don't require a CDL. We match you to loads appropriate for your specific licensing and equipment.
Hotshot rates typically range from $2.00–$4.50/mile depending on load type, urgency, lane, and freight. Time-critical loads and specialized freight (oilfield, energy sector) often command premium rates.
Up to 8% of gross load revenue. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no contracts. Your first week is free — zero commission so you can see the results before you pay anything.
Let LoadEX find your loads and handle all paperwork — so your hotshot rig is always moving, not sitting idle.
