Hotshot Shipping Service

Hotshot Shipping Service

Heavy loads with heavy deadlines demand hotshot shipping with ShipLux!

ShipLux offers personalized solutions all the way from pick up to delivery.

Hotshot shipping (also referred to as hot shot trucking) is similar to LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping, with a few crucial differences. Hotshot shipping is preferred when a smaller load combines with a time-sensitive delivery window. Hotshot transport efficiently moves a smaller cargo load with a specific time frame for delivery directly to a single endpoint customer or location, reducing many of the delays associated with LTL shipping. Hotshot shipping companies are a way to provide private courier services for larger freight and heavier loads. Hotshot shipping utilizes a variety of transport methods, depending on the shipment requirements. Each transport is entirely personalized. From pickup to delivery, your dedicated logistics agent will arrange everything from finding the best route to securing the necessary permits. With help like that, you never have to worry, and our honest, transparent pricing means that the price quoted is the only price you pay. Hotshot shipping trucks are typically Class 3, 4, or 5 medium-duty trucks pulling a trailer. Hot shot trucking loads can range from under 10,000 pounds to just under 20,000 pounds. Different trailer types may be used to accommodate cargo, allowing for loads that may be too big, heavy, or tall for standard delivery service. Unlike expedited delivery, hotshot trucking matches the shipment with a dedicated specific end-to-end transport.

Hotshot shipping is unique in the industry because it is dominated by owner-operators working independently, which can complicate hiring for a hot shot transport. When you are hiring an independent contractor, how can you ensure you are hiring a knowledgeable professional? How can you verify their credentials? How can you stay informed throughout the transport? How can you avoid surprise fees and complications? How can you make your hotshot shipping experience easy and hassle-free?

Trailer Types: Open vs Enclosed Shipping

Open shipping is easier to schedule and more economical than enclosed, making it the perfect choice for shipping a daily driver. We have a wide variety of open-style trailers to suit your shipping needs. While you may need to give your vehicle a wash after delivery, our meticulous attention to detail means that any open vehicle transportation is handled with Premium Service from start to finish.

Open Shipping

Enclosed trailers ensure the ultimate protection from the elements. With many trailer styles to choose from, we offer enclosed shipping for a wide range of vehicle shipments. Every enclosed vehicle shipment comes with the White Glove Treatment, meaning your vehicle will arrive in exactly the same condition it left.
