Hot Shot Dispatch

Urgent Freight. Premium Rates. Planned Weeks.

TruLoads runs hot shot the smart way—priority freight when it pays, paired returns to protect your week, and negotiation that keeps your RPM above water even when the market dips.

Priority Loads

Time-sensitive freight when the rate makes sense—no cheap emergencies. We protect your clock and your pay.

Paired Backhauls

Outbound + targeted returns planned together. Less wandering, more revenue days per week.

Paperwork & Calls

We handle check calls, rate cons, and accessorials so you can focus on the road and the customer.

Lane Strategy

  • High-value corridors with reliable return options
  • Short-to-mid OTD runs stacked for weekly consistency
  • RPM floors set by live market pulse—no wishful numbers
  • Weather, hours, and fuel timing baked into planning

Freight & Requirements

  • Machinery, construction materials, pallets, expedited skids
  • Preferred: 30–40’ gooseneck with straps/chains/edge protectors
  • Active authority, COI, and on-time communication

New authority welcome—consistency starts with a plan and professional comms.
