Hotshot
Hotshot trucking delivers some of the highest rates per mile in the industry due to its inherent urgency. Yet, this very urgency can make it tough for drivers to stay on top of offers and secure the best deals on the go. That’s where Huff and Puff Logistics steps in. Our expert hotshot dispatch services streamline your operations by handling everything from back-office tasks to placing orders, ensuring you focus on what you do best—driving and delivering.
Grow Your Business with Professional Dispatchers
Hotshot loads provide an excellent opportunity to launch your trucking career due to their limited entry challenges and the fact that many orders don’t require a CDL. With just a pickup truck and a flatbed trailer, you can start more affordably than purchasing Class 8 semis. Additionally, the operational and insurance costs are lower, allowing you to benefit from premium rates for short lead times. The frequency of local journeys adds more home and holiday time, making this career path even more appealing.
Why Drivers Should Opt for Hotshot Dispatch Services
Hotshot dispatch services are essential due to the inconsistent and time-sensitive nature of hotshot loads. You cannot rely on consistent revenue and must always be prepared for trips that may come up. Deadheading can significantly impact your budget since finding backhauls for hotshot drivers is more challenging. Moreover, the low entry threshold creates intense competition, where our hotshot dispatch service becomes invaluable.
