Process

From "I need a truck"
to "freight delivered."

From quote to delivery, here's what happens between your call and your POD.

How it works

From booking to POD
in four steps.

Same workflow on every load. Small enough to stay personal, structured enough that you'll never wonder where your freight is.

  1. 01 Flat rate + pickup window

    Rapid Rate & Booking

    Send origin, destination, weight, and dimensions. We confirm the right trailer for the job and reply with a flat rate and pickup window.

  2. 02 Photos before strap-down

    Dispatch & Securement

    Driver arrives, verifies cargo against the manifest, photographs the load condition before strapping down, and secures your equipment with DOT-compliant chains and binders.

  3. 03 Milestone updates

    Tracked Transport

    Updates at key milestones. If traffic or weather changes the ETA, you hear about it from us. No terminals. No transfers.

  4. 04 Instant digital POD

    Delivery & POD

    Safe unload at destination, digital signature, instant proof of delivery and photo confirmation that the job is done.

Behind the scenes

The details behind every step.

A simple, transparent logistics process designed for time-critical freight. No guessing games.

Trailer match before we quote

Submit your load details (weight, dimensions, origin and destination). We verify we have the right trailer for the job before we give you a flat rate and pickup window.

Pre-load photo set

The driver arrives on site and verifies the cargo against the manifest. We take photo documentation of the load condition before we strap down.

Secured with chains and binders

Your equipment is secured using DOT-compliant chains and binders.

Digital proof of delivery

We safely unload and get a digital signature. You receive an instant Proof of Delivery (POD) and photo confirmation that the job is done.

Common questions

FAQ, the short version.

If your question isn't here, call dispatch or email us.

  • What's the difference between hotshot trucking and standard trucking?

    Hotshot uses heavy-duty pickups and flatbed trailers. That gives us access to job sites, residential properties, and rural roads that a Class 8 semi physically cannot reach, plus faster load and unload times. The tradeoff is capacity. For loads heavier or larger than our trailers handle, we route you through our brokered freight network with the right equipment.
  • How fast can you have a truck rolling?

    Same-day pickup and delivery is often available on the Wasatch Front, and trucks can be on-site within hours of booking. We give you a flat rate and pickup window up front. We're available every day, 8am to 10pm.
  • What's your service area?

    The Wasatch Front metro core (Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, Lehi, Spanish Fork) has same-day pickup and delivery often available. Statewide, we make regular runs to Logan, St. George, Park City, Vernal, Moab, and Price. Regional service runs the I-15 corridor from the Idaho border down to Las Vegas, plus I-80 east into Wyoming and west to Wendover/Elko, with direct hotshot service to Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and Colorado.
  • How is pricing calculated?

    Flat rate, quoted up front. Inputs are origin, destination, weight, and dimensions. We send you the rate and the pickup window before you commit.
  • Do you offer dedicated or recurring lanes?

    Yes. For a recurring shipment, like a regular run between Salt Lake and St. George or regular deliveries to Nevada or Idaho, we can lock in a schedule and a rate. Email or call us to scope a lane.
  • How do I track my load?

    Updates at key milestones, from pickup to delivery. Photo documentation of the load condition before we strap it down, and photo confirmation after unloading. Digital signature and an instant Proof of Delivery at drop-off.
