Hot Shots
Sometimes manufacturers and warehouses have specialty or light loads which need to be shipped but do not require the use of a full-sized tractor-trailer. Many companies can save on their shipping expenses by contracting with a hot-shot trucking company or owner-operator.
Definition
A hot-shot truck is typically a diesel-powered, dual-wheeled pickup truck that is set up to haul a gooseneck trailer. Hot-shot trucks are commercial for-hire motor carriers that transport freight from shippers to receivers. Hot-shot truckers can be independent owner-operators or they may be leased onto a larger trucking company.
Weight Limit
Hot-shot trucks are normally limited to a gross weight of 36,000 pounds.
Operating Range
Hot-shot trucks can travel anywhere normal-sized semitrailers can travel with the appropriate licensing and operating authority. Hot-shot trucks are governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Types of Cargo
Hot-shot trucks carry all types of freight that don't require the use of a full-sized tractor-trailer. In some cases, they transport specialty freight which can be hauled on the smaller gooseneck trailers.
