definitions: Hotshot vs. Expedite

But many hotshotters will disagree with this statement

RV haulers are not hotshotters .

I started with hotshots in south Louisana back in '73 oilfield freight you never new what to expect. But it was always hot.

 

you guys are missing something..."expedite" only refers to the service performed. Notice Panther Expedited class 8 tractor trailers.....

Expedited freight has to be there RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW, often coast to coast team freight to be delivered in 48 hours....truck stops to fuel and grab mcdonalds at the same time...

 

We refer to an expedite as something that needs to deliver in loading + transit time. No unneccesary stops, no breaks, deliver direct. So for example, if I have a 300 mile move for a straight truck, I need it to deliver in 7 hrs.

I see a lot of people use the term "Hotshot" and "Expedite" interchangebly, and really, if you are talking about freight, I feel it is the same thing. You have freight at Point A, that needs to be taken to point B ASAP.

 

I have an F450 flatbed and am interested in runnuing a hot shot business , looking for a load board just to review what i will be up against , help !.

It must have proportionally the same restrictive regulations, insurance, taxes, etc. as big trucking or every unemployed guy with a 1-ton pickup would be trying to get a pallet in the bed.
