The town is an international trade center, with ships making port there from countries across the globe.

We uphold the same standard of service in all of these locations, providing:

Dedicated Deliveries - Hot Shot Trucking guarantees each of our customers a truck that is devoted specifically to their orders. This means that you will not have to share space with other clients, no small matter given the unique shipping needs of San Diego companies, including advanced manufacturers and research outfits.
Team Driving - We assign drivers in teams of two to each vehicle and require them to each take turns driving and resting. As a result, our drivers can work through the night without even becoming too tired to do their jobs well. This raises the standards of both speed and safety.
Advanced Tracking - We invest in the most sophisticated tracking technology, which we use to keep an eye on your order at all times. Not only does this let us update you on your items’ position and likely arrival time, but it makes it easier for us to avoid delays.
Careful Planning - We plan all our shipping routes in detail ahead of time. We not only look for the shortest distance, but also take into account traffic and weather patterns, striving to find the path with as few obstacles as possible.
