Houston Freight Challenges
Houston has blossomed into a cultural, artistic and business capital with a diversity reflected in the cities population and workforce. The local economy is the bedrock of the city and this is reflected in an unemployment rate consistently residing below the national average in recent decades. Our relationship as a hot shot trucking company with the energy industry is reflected in that of Houston's and we understand that connection like few others.
Our expertise in energy logistics not only fuels our commitment to Houston’s industries but also drives our dedication to providing dependable, responsive service. By understanding the high stakes of energy production and infrastructure, we’re equipped to anticipate challenges and adapt to the fast-paced demands of our clients.
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
At HotShotTrucking.com, we maintain consistent communication not only with our drivers but also with our clients, ensuring they have all the information they need from start to finish. To make this process seamless, we’ve established a single point of contact (SPOC) so current and prospective clients can instantly reach the relevant team without waiting in a call center queue or leaving messages.
If you’re placing a new order, you can contact the SPOC to speak directly with our team, who will walk you through every available delivery option. For ongoing orders, the same SPOC connects you with the coordinators handling your shipment, providing real-time updates so you’ll know exactly when to expect delivery and can plan your operations accordingly.
Concierge-Level Customer Service
To keep customers informed, HotShotTrucking.com has invested in advanced tracking and monitoring technology for our affiliated trucks. This equipment allows us to respond swiftly to any disruptions; if we detect traffic, weather, or road work impacting a chosen route, we quickly identify an alternative and redirect the driver. As a concierge service, we can involve you in this process if desired.
When a disruption occurs, we can present you with alternate routes, outline the pros and cons of each, and let you choose the best option. We take the same collaborative approach when you place your order, guiding you through each option and leaving the final decision to you. No matter what you’re shipping or where in the state it’s headed, you’ll always be in the (metaphorical) driver’s seat!
Sprinter Vans
Emergency shipments often consist of smaller, lightweight items that don’t require much space but are critical to maintaining production. For these types of orders, sprinter vans are often the best choice. They’re cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and compact enough to navigate congested roads quickly.
To meet this need, HotShotTrucking.com has incorporated numerous affiliated sprinter vans into our Texas network. When you place a smaller order, we’ll locate a nearby sprinter van that matches the size of your shipment. If specific features like refrigeration or freezer capabilities are needed, we’ll ensure the selected van is fully equipped to handle your cargo’s requirements.
Straight Trucks
Straight or box trucks are an ideal middle option for expedited freight, offering more capacity than a sprinter van while remaining smaller and more maneuverable than a dry van. For our Texas customers, this balance often provides the best of both worlds.
At HotShotTrucking.com, we specialize in coordinating shipments with straight trucks, utilizing their additional space and carefully planning routes to avoid traffic, ensuring smooth and consistent movement. Many of our straight trucks are equipped with freezer or refrigeration options, essential for transporting agricultural products and other perishable items. Even on the busiest roads, you can rely on us to manage a swift and efficient straight-truck delivery for your order.
53ft Dry Vans
Houston-based businesses with large shipping needs can rely on our affiliated 53-foot dry vans. Even with vehicles of this size, HotShotTrucking.com maintains its full truckload strategy by selecting a dry van with cargo space precisely suited to your order’s volume and weight. We apply the same expertise in route planning and attentive route management that we use for smaller vehicles, like sprinter vans or straight trucks.
Our trusted affiliated driver will bring the dry van to your supply point, load your items, and immediately set off toward your destination. Throughout transit, we monitor the van using advanced tracking equipment to avoid traffic delays and ensure your delivery meets your schedule.
