How hotshot pricing works
No guesswork and no phone tag. The instant quote prices your load the same way our team does.
Loads up to 9,000 lb run on non-CDL hotshot rates. Heavier loads need a CDL driver, so they’re priced a little higher. Enter your weight for an accurate number.
Runs of 500+ miles get our best per-mile rate. Shorter runs carry a minimum, because a driver’s day costs the same either way.
Next-day pickup costs the most. Give us a few days, or schedule two to three weeks out, and the rate drops. You see every option before you book.

Good questions
Have a specific shipment in mind? Let’s talk through the details.
Call (832) 888-0354Hotshot uses a heavy-duty pickup or medium-duty truck pulling a gooseneck or flatbed trailer. It’s ideal for partial, expedited or time-critical loads that don’t need a full semi trailer.
It depends on the truck and trailer, typically up to around 16,000 lb of freight on a 40-foot gooseneck. Enter your weight and dimensions and we’ll match the right rig.
Up to 9,000 lb, many hotshot rigs can run without a CDL driver, which keeps rates lower. Above that, the load needs a CDL driver and heavier equipment.
