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 open-deck fleet includes an F350 paired with a 40-foot gooseneck trailer and an F250 paired with a 28-foot straight-deck trailer. Exact 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

F350-based capacity for qualified freight that fits verified weight, dimensions, securement, and route requirements.

28-Foot Straight Deck

F250-based capacity for appropriately sized regional and project freight requiring open-deck access.

Clear communication with brokers, shippers, and receivers supports time-sensitive pickups and accurate delivery planning.
