In case you missed our first blog post, in a nutshell, a hot shot service is a transportation service that has been designed to get important freight to a location quickly and without a hassle. Predominantly used within mining, oil and gas industries, hot shots are particularly useful for urgent freight like parts or equipment to a worksite when they are needed the most. For example, when a truck or piece of equipment has broken down.
Here at Laylo, we have become hot shot service experts Australia-wide in recent years, and we are very familiar with what makes a successful hot shot business service.
To find the most suitable for your business, have a think about the following points:
How Quickly Your Load Needs to Be Delivered
Hot shot drivers are experts at delivering time-sensitive loads that need to be delivered within a specific timeframe. For example, if a construction company needs equipment delivered to a job to keep a project on time, they might find a hot shot driver to have it delivered ASAP.
How Large or Small Your Load is for Hot Shot Service
Hot shot trucking usually involves hauling smaller LTL loads (less-than-truckload loads) within a specific timeframe, and usually to a single customer or location. Hot shot loads are usually delivered using medium-duty trucks that pull flatbed trailers. We also have semi-trailer trucks, tanker trucks and escort vehicles within our fleet so you can be sure we will be able to match a vehicle with the specific size of your load.
