Important Hot Shot Trucking Services Nova Scotia
Consisting of a peninsula and an archipelago on the eastern edge of Canada, Nova Scotia is most closely associated with fishing and farming. These industries are indeed important to Nova Scotian prosperity, but as with many agricultural and aqua-cultural communities, recent years have made the economic story far more complicated than that. Nova Scotia has notably become a center for the Canadian defense industry, hosting nearly half of the country’s military assets. It has also become a major hub for film production, and it hosts important IT and manufacturing facilities, including three major Michelin tire plants. Nova Scotia’s economy, then, is nothing if not complex. HotShotTrucking.com provides a simple delivery coordination solution in the midst of all this complexity.

Nova Scotia Logistics
As in many communities with a mix of agriculture, manufacturing, and other industries, logistics is complicated in Nova Scotia because there are so many different businesses with so many different needs. This complexity is compounded by the fact that the province includes both a peninsula and an archipelago, forcing shipping planners to account for travel to and from the mainland, as well as between islands. If this complexity gets the better of your supply lines, don’t worry! HotShotTrucking.com is there to plan and direct a speedy emergency delivery to Nova Scotia at a moment’s notice. Our long history of operating in the province means we’re well aware of the most common sources of delay and disruption, and our vast resources mean we can get around those delays with ease.

Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
Every business’s supply needs are different, and even with the same business, each logistical crisis is unique. HotShotTrucking.com makes it easy for you to tell us about your unique supply needs and specific shipping woes by providing a single point of contact (SPOC). From the very beginning of your order, you’ll have easy access to our SPOC, and can call them at any time. When you initially call the SPOC to place the order, our team will listen to every detail you provide, making sure to fully understand what you’re looking for. Likewise, when the order is on its way, we’ll take your calls, listen to your questions in detail, and give you the most precise answers possible. Our SPOC cultivates this communication by letting you get in touch with us directly, avoiding call centers or message systems in favor of speaking with the people who know the most about your order at every stage of the process.
Concierge-Level Customer Service
Our effort to cultivate constant communication with our clients is closely connected to the collaborative approach we take to our orders. As a concierge hot shot trucking coordinator, we strive to bring our clients into the planning and monitoring process on as deep a level as they wish to be involved. When you call us to place the order, you can just let us choose the option that we think will most quickly and reliably bring you your items; but you can also play a more active role, discussing the pros and cons of each option with us and selecting the service you decide is best. Similarly, while the order is on its way, we’ll monitor it and guide it around any obstacles that arise; we invite you to take part in this as well, discussing alternative routes with us and choosing the one you think is best for your supplies.
Time-Sensitive Hot Shot Trucking Services for Nova Scotia
We know that if a client is placing an order with us, by definition, they don’t have a lot of spare time. HotShotTrucking.com thus eliminates most of the need for lead time by building a network of vehicles available to meet any given client’s needs. Our network extends throughout every province in Canada, as well as every state in the US and Mexico. It consists of a broad selection of vehicles, each suited to a different type of cargo: sprinter vans for smaller loads; straight trucks for intermediate deliveries; and 53ft dry vans for the largest cargo. Many of these vehicles come with a wide range of other features, including refrigeration and freezer equipment for more perishable orders. Thus, when we get your call, we can proceed to delivery coordination without hesitation.
Sprinter Vans
Although many clients worry about not having enough space for their emergency orders, having too much can also be a problem, as an over-sized vehicle is less maneuverable and may be harder to load and unload. HotShotTrucking.com avoids this by bringing quality sprinter vans into our network. Sprinter vans are some of the most flexible commercial delivery vehicles, able to make good time even on small and congested roads. We frequently recommend these vans for clients making smaller orders, especially those that have to travel in more congested areas or on back roads. Our team will find the sprinter van in our network best situated to quickly pick up your items, get them on the road, and keep them safe along the way.
Straight Trucks
While sprinter vans are ideal for smaller orders, when you need more cargo capacity, straight trucks are often the way to go. Our North American vehicle network includes large numbers of affiliated straight trucks near any given starting point. These trucks come in a variety of sizes, allowing us to select one with a cargo area that closely matches the volume of your order. We also have affiliated drivers with a wide range of skills and credentials, including commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) that allow them to drive vehicles with a gross volume weight above 26,000. Combined with our ability to load up orders and get going quickly, this ensures we’ll coordinate exactly the service you need when you need it.
53ft Dry Vans
For orders that are especially voluminous, clients often need a 53ft dry van or tractor-trailer. This type of vehicle is essentially the largest enclosed delivery vehicle in the industry. By recruiting lots of them into our network in each town in North America, we make sure even the largest orders are well within our wheelhouse. HotShotTrucking.com stays true to our full truckload approach on these orders, finding the specific 53ft dry van best suited to the volume of your order, as well as to your need for refrigeration and other features. Because these vehicles tend to travel the greatest distance, we’re proactive about choosing the least-congested route and then actively steering the vehicle around any unexpected obstacles.
