Hot Shot Trucking New Haven, CT
(203) 936-6655

We’re prepared for any obstacles or sources of delays that might arise along the way, including:

• Distant Starting Points— One common reason it takes so long to get supplies is the sheer distance between New Haven and your starting point. If you have to ship from Vancouver or Veracruz, you’ll waste hours or days just getting a truck out there from New Haven. But not if you’re shipping with HotShotTrucking.com. Our network of affiliated trucks, vans, and trailers extends into every major metropolitan area on the continent, be it in Canada, Mexico, or any of the fifty states. Thus, there’s no need to drive all the way out to your staring point; we’ll just choose a truck in our network that’s already there. We thus shave many hours off your delivery time right from the start while preserving the flexibility to accommodate any supply route.
• Traffic Jams— While avoiding the trip out does save a considerable amount of time, there’s still a risk of delay on the way back. Particularly when you’re shipping into a state as densely populated as Connecticut, you often have to worry about running into traffic jams on the way. HotShotTrucking.com avoids these jams and similar sources of delay through prudent, prescient planning. We review each potential shipping route between your starting point and New Haven and look at data on traffic patterns along each. We’ll pick the route that has the lowest possible risk of traffic jams, provided that it still offers a relatively straight, speedy shot to New Haven. In this way, we plan deliveries that are consistently quick, ensuring that you get your items as early as possible.
• Inclement Weather— Another common source of delay is storms, which can make your delivery route slow, dangerous, or wholly impassable, depending on their severity. HotShotTrucking.com deals with storms by incorporating weather data into our route planning, but there’s only so much you can predict with forecasts. To protect against unexpected storms and other surprises, we monitor our trucks from a centralized coordination office. Every truck is outfitted with advanced monitors, which allow us to keep track of their location at each point during the journey. We then watch our trucks and check the routes ahead to see if there’s any weather event we didn’t anticipate. If there is and it looks severe enough to disrupt the delivery, we’ll contact the drivers and instruct them to get onto an alternate route. Thus, we avoid delay even from events that catch us by surprise.
• Driver Fatigue— HotShotTrucking.com recruits the best drivers in the industry to handle your goods, ensuring that your supplies are always in the care of those with the skills to maximize speed and safety. But even the most skilled drivers still need to sleep, lest they not be alert enough to deliver your items safely. If drivers have to stop their trucks overnight to get this sleep, that can add many hours to total delivery times, especially on orders that are placed late in the day or that require delivery from distant locations. HotShotTrucking.com avoids this issue by pairing our drivers up on any delivery expected to take more than a few hours. Paired drivers can take turns resting and working so that it’s never necessary to make a prolonged stop. In this way, we keep our drivers healthy and rested while avoiding the rest stops that so badly extend delivery times.
