Expedited & hotshot
When a line is down or a crew is waiting, the dispatch desk covers a sprinter, straight truck, hotshot gooseneck or tractor-trailer within the hour and the driver goes direct. Expedited is priced per mile with a minimum, team service for coast-to-coast overnight is priced per mile on top, and the dispatcher stays on the load until the POD is signed. Oilfield and plant deliveries, including after-hours gate check-in, are what the hotshots do every week.

Questions about expedited & hotshot
How fast is dispatch?
Within the hour for the Houston metro in business hours, usually faster. Nights and weekends, the on-call dispatcher answers and a truck is moving within 90 minutes.
Do you run teams?
Yes. Beyond 600 miles for overnight delivery, team service is priced at the published per-mile premium.
What about a return trip or round robin?
Round trips and multi-stop runs are priced on loaded and empty miles with the stop-off rate; the quote shows the whole run.
