Hotshot is speed for hire: a pickup and gooseneck trailer moving equipment, parts and time-critical freight that can’t wait for a full truckload. RapidWay finds the loads that fit your trailer and your CDL status, prices the urgency into the rate and keeps you on the road instead of on the phone.

Here is what we need to start dispatching you. If you are close but not there yet, our Company Setup team can help you get there.
Time-critical freight goes to whoever answers first with a fair rate. Our hotshot dispatchers watch the boards in real time, know which brokers pay hotshot rates and match every load to your truck, trailer and weight rating before you commit.
One named dispatcher owns your truck. Here is what they handle so you don’t have to.
Hotshot boards and expedite brokers monitored live, with rates negotiated for the urgency instead of the posted number.
Every load checked against your combination weight, deck length and CDL status so you stay legal at the scale.
Short hauls chained together and backhauls booked before you deliver so you are not running home empty.
Rate cons, BOLs and invoicing handled, with quick-pay or factoring so the money moves as fast as you do.
Run the urgent freight that pays a premium with a dispatcher who answers as fast as the brokers.

Hotshot freight doesn’t wait. Neither does your RapidWay dispatcher.
Yes, if your truck and loaded trailer stay under 26,001 lbs combined GVWR. We match loads to that limit and tell you when a load would put you over.
Equipment, machinery parts, oilfield and construction supplies, vehicles and anything time-critical that is too small for a full truckload.
Real-time board monitoring and a dispatcher who is already on the phone while others are still refreshing the page.
Yes. We set you up with broker quick-pay or a factoring partner so urgent loads turn into cash in days, not weeks.
