Hotshot car hauling means moving vehicles with a heavy-duty pickup and a gooseneck trailer instead of a full Class 8 rig. It's agile on short and regional lanes, cheaper to get into, and there's steady demand from dealers and auctions.
A one-ton dually pickup does the pulling. It's cheaper to buy, insure and maintain than a semi, and easier to park and maneuver at dealer lots and auction yards.
A gooseneck car-hauling trailer carries up to three vehicles per trip. Enough capacity to make the math work on regional lanes without stepping up to a full car carrier.
Kept under 26,000 lbs combined GVWR, a truck-and-gooseneck setup runs on a regular driver's license in most configurations. That's the door hotshot opens: haul cars without a CDL.
Dealer transfers, auction runs and private moves keep the boards full. Your dispatcher chains three-car loads into full weeks so the trailer rarely rolls empty.
You drive. We handle the rest: finding loads, negotiating rates, planning routes and dealing with paperwork, so your truck spends less time empty and more time earning.
We work the major car hauling boards for you: Central Dispatch, Super Dispatch, CarsArrive, RPM Freight and Acertus, negotiating every rate with brokers so you never leave money on the table.
Your dispatcher builds your week around your home base and preferred lanes, chaining three-car pickups and deliveries to cut empty miles between loads.
Rate confirmations, BOLs, invoicing and follow-up with brokers, handled by our team so nothing delays your payment.
Damaged unit at pickup? Broker not answering? We step in and resolve it while you keep moving.
Loads, payments and performance reports in your pocket. You know what you're hauling, what you'll earn and when it hits your account.
English, Portuguese and Spanish, around the clock. Whatever happens on the road, someone who speaks your language picks up.
Transparency is the whole point. You only pay when you haul.
