A Hot Shot Trucking Firm Will Get It There Fast

By Aimee Schwartz


You have a manufacturing company and you ship everything to your clients by truck. You get a good price because you schedule everything to be picked up when there is a full truck and no more. The freight or logistics companies appreciate that and you have a good working relationship with them. When that last shipment went, someone goofed up and left a major component off of the load. You had to think fast and you called a hot shot trucking firm.

These trucking companies have the same mission as the larger ones as they work to get your stuff from your dock to your clients quickly. They have the ability, however, of taking smaller loads and, because of that, charge a premium for the service. They specialize in getting things from one door to the other, hopefully, before it is noticed.

These firms are also just the right service to get that new prototype to that brand new client. This can impress them with your ability to get it there and no thoughts about the premium price for that delivery. This type of firm can be a lot more flexible in scheduling, often on the same day. This is not as easy to accomplish with that larger logistics company.

Occasionally, they can even offer a better price than the proportional cost that load would call for. This is because they will often be able to have a return load back to your area that helps pay for both trips. They are quite handy this way and it saves them trouble and running empty, for which they have to pay their drivers anyway.

No matter what they are hauling for you, they still have to follow the rules and regulations, based on the load. A very good thing about them is that, since most loads they carry are not full trailer loads, they can usually handle the vast majority of them in smaller trucks, often passenger models which make quicker delivery possible.

Many of these companies hire their many trucks and drivers out for in house logistics at larger firms. Construction firms will often have a driver or two for parts runners and to fetch lunch. These or other important things they do not want to cut one of their people loose to do are perfect for these self starters.

The idea that, just because you messed up and did not get something to your client, that is that. There is always a way to satisfy your customers and these personnel and service are just the way to do it. They can be counted on and they will not scrimp on safety or careful driving to see to this task.

Several of the things that the larger trucks have to deal with are weight stations and many other traffic induced situations. The smaller trucks, with your loads on them can be faster though these, eliminating one and skirting another. Your delivery, while still getting there safe, does get there faster.
