As a manufacturing center that also houses a major university, Tuscaloosa presents a challenge for shippers. Manufacturing firms rely on regular deliveries of a wide range of production goods, including raw materials, parts from other factories, and capital equipment. Carriers must thus regularly take to the road. Because of the university, however, shipping vehicles have to compete with commuting students and professors, raising the risk of congestion. Tuscaloosa’s trucking companies must struggle to complete their shipments quickly enough that they don’t become an obstacle to university traffic.
Hot Shot Trucking has long faced and overcome this struggle. Operating in both Tuscaloosa proper and the nearby towns of Northport, Eutaw, Centreville, Marion, Demopolis, and Aliceville, we have developed a savvy strategy to keep breakdowns, congestion, and delays to a minimum.
