Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose hotshot over LTL?

Choose hotshot when downtime costs more than freight and the shipment must arrive as fast as possible with no consolidation.

Is your shipment LTL or FTL?

Hotshot is neither — it is point-to-point urgent delivery regardless of volume. LTL and FTL are for scheduled freight.

Where is the pickup and delivery location?

Provide both addresses for accurate hotshot routing and timing.
