When your business can’t wait for traditional freight schedules, Freedom Heavy Haul delivers. We specialize in hotshot trucking—moving time-critical loads quickly and directly to where you need them, when you need them there.
A hotshot truck is a medium-duty pickup (usually Class 3-5) pulling a flatbed or gooseneck trailer, designed to haul smaller, urgent loads that don’t require a full semi-truck. Think construction equipment rush-delivered to a job site, replacement parts for a broken-down oil rig, or farm machinery that needs to move today, not next week.
Traditional trucking works on volume and scheduled routes. Hotshot hauling works on speed and flexibility. Your freight gets dedicated transport—no waiting for consolidated shipments, no unnecessary stops. We pick up and deliver on your timeline, often same-day or next-day.
Industries like construction, oil and gas, agriculture, and manufacturing depend on hot shot shipping when downtime costs money. A broken excavator sitting idle, a delayed harvest, a factory line waiting for parts—these situations demand more than standard freight can offer.
Our hotshot companies operate a range of vehicles matched to your load:
Medium-duty trucks (10,000-26,000 lbs capacity) paired with specialized trailers handle most urgent freight. Gooseneck trailers offer better stability and weight distribution for heavier equipment. Flatbed trailers work for smaller machinery, building materials, and oddly shaped cargo. Step-deck and lowboy options handle taller or oversized items that standard trailers can’t accommodate.
We’re not limited to pickups. Depending on your needs, we deploy straight trucks, box trucks, or even full-size flatbeds for larger critical shipments that still need that direct, time-sensitive delivery.
Construction sites need emergency equipment deliveries when machinery breaks or projects change direction. We’ve moved excavators, skid steers, compressors, and generators across town or across state lines on tight deadlines.
Among the types of heavy construction equipment that we ship are:
Oil and gas operations can’t afford downtime. When a pump fails or a drill needs parts, hot shot freight companies keep wells running and refineries operating. We understand the 24/7 nature of energy work.
Agriculture runs on seasonal windows. When a combine breaks during harvest or a tractor needs to reach a distant field, hotshot transport gets farmers back to work fast. We’ve hauled everything from balers to cultivators to irrigation equipment.
Pieces of farm equipment that we ship regularly include:
Manufacturing plants rely on just-in-time delivery. A missing component can shut down an entire production line. Our hotshot hauling services deliver those critical parts before losses mount.
Examples of industrial equipment that we regularly transport include:
Speed doesn’t mean chaos. When you contact Freedom Heavy Haul, here’s what happens:
You tell us what needs to move, where it’s going, and when it needs to arrive. We match the right truck and trailer to your load, confirm pricing, and get a driver rolling—often within hours. You receive real-time updates and direct contact with our logistics team throughout transport.
Unlike load boards where drivers cherry-pick runs, we coordinate dedicated service for your shipment. Your freight isn’t competing for space or waiting in a queue.
Not every driver knows how to properly load a compact excavator onto a gooseneck or secure a delicate industrial pump. Our network includes only experienced operators who understand weight distribution, proper tie-down techniques, and safe transport of specialized equipment.
We verify licensing, insurance, and safety records. Every driver we work with carries proper liability coverage and maintains up-to-date DOT compliance.
Most hotshot companies focus on local and regional work—typically within 250-500 miles. That’s where the economics make sense for both urgent delivery and reasonable rates. But when your load needs to cross the country on a tight deadline, we arrange longer hauls too.
The beauty of hot shot trucking is flexibility. We’re not locked into predetermined routes or schedules. If you need something in Albuquerque by Thursday morning and it’s sitting in Dallas right now, we make it happen.
Hotshot shipping costs more per mile than standard freight. That’s the trade-off for dedicated service and speed. But when you factor in the cost of downtime—idle crews, lost production, missed deadlines—the math usually works in your favor.
We quote each job individually based on distance, load size, equipment needed, and timing. No hidden fees, no surprises. You know exactly what you’re paying before we dispatch a truck.
Need something moved urgently? Call Freedom Heavy Haul or request a quote online. We’ll ask for load details (dimensions, weight, special handling requirements), pickup and delivery locations, and your timeline.
In most cases, we can provide a quote within the hour and have a truck en route the same day. For extremely urgent situations—equipment failures, emergency deliveries—we prioritize getting wheels turning over paperwork delays.
Whether you need a single emergency transport or regular hotshot freight service for ongoing operations, we’re set up to handle both. Some of our best relationships started with one crisis call and turned into reliable partnerships.
Your business moves fast. Your freight should too.
