Hotshot dispatch for expedited freight.
Nationwide hotshot dispatch — expedited freight on gooseneck and bumper-pull trailers for owner-operators running medium-duty trucks.
Hotshot dispatch that keeps small rigs busy.
Hotshot dispatch is freight dispatch for hotshot operators — typically medium-duty pickups pulling gooseneck or bumper-pull trailers under 26,001 lbs GVWR (though many hotshot operators run Class 7 and 8 trucks as well). Hotshot freight tends to be smaller, more time-sensitive, and often more specialized than standard flatbed freight.
Our hotshot dispatch service is built around the reality of running hotshot: shorter loads, tighter deadlines, more moves per week, and freight that often supports oil and gas, construction, agriculture, and equipment industries.
We source freight, negotiate rates, and handle broker communication so hotshot operators can spend their time driving and securing freight. Because hotshot volume relies on turnover, we work hard to stack loads back-to-back and keep your truck moving.
Every load is yours to approve. We just make sure the phone keeps ringing with real, paying freight.

Hotshot Dispatch questions.
What is hotshot dispatch?+
Hotshot dispatch is a dispatch service for hotshot operators — usually medium-duty trucks pulling gooseneck or bumper-pull trailers. The dispatcher sources expedited freight, negotiates rates, and manages logistics.
Do I need a CDL to run hotshot?+
It depends on your combined weight. Rigs under 26,001 lbs GVWR typically don't require a CDL, but you still need proper authority and insurance. Rigs above that threshold require a CDL.
What kind of freight does hotshot dispatch source?+
Small partial loads, equipment moves, oil and gas freight, construction materials, agricultural freight, and any expedited freight that fits a hotshot trailer.
Do you dispatch non-CDL hotshot operators?+
Yes. We dispatch both non-CDL and CDL hotshot operators, provided you have active authority and insurance in place.
What insurance do I need for hotshot freight?+
Standard trucking liability, cargo insurance, and often physical damage coverage. Cargo minimums vary by broker — many require $100,000 or more.
Is hotshot profitable?+
It can be, but it depends heavily on load stacking and market. A dedicated hotshot dispatcher significantly improves the math by keeping the trailer loaded.
