Hotshot Capacity

Flexible Open-Deck Equipment, Verified Load Fit

Hotshot and open-deck freight often moves on tight timelines, but speed cannot replace proper planning. OTW reviews the commodity, dimensions, weight, center of gravity, loading method, securement points, tarp or protection needs, route restrictions, and appointment requirements before confirming capacity.

The current pickup fleet includes a company-owned F-350, F-250, and Ram 3500. Open-deck equipment includes a 40-foot gooseneck and 28-foot straight-deck trailer. Exact vehicle and trailer assignment, payload, axle distribution, securement, permits, and route compliance are confirmed for each opportunity; no capacity is represented until the load profile is reviewed.

40-Foot Gooseneck

F-350-based capacity for qualified freight that fits verified weight, dimensions, securement, and route requirements.

28-Foot Straight Deck

F-250-based capacity for appropriately sized regional and project freight requiring open-deck access.

Ram 3500

Additional company-owned heavy-duty pickup capacity for qualified opportunities after vehicle, trailer, payload, and route review.
