Rockford presents all the logistical challenges of a manufacturing city, with the added difficulty of being located in a heavily forested area. This limits the ability of carriers to quickly get into and out of the town, as there are only so many roads that run through or around the Winnebago Preserve. As a result, local producers have trouble bringing in supplies and sending out finished goods. Given how most manufacturers operate on tight schedules and need their inputs to be in pristine condition, this means that only the most skilled hot shot delivery companies are suited to operating in this area.

Hot Shot Trucking has long prided itself on its skilled team and service model, and is happy to provide hot shot transportation in the Rockford area. Not only do we ship to and from Rockford proper, but we also serve Belvidere, Janesville, Beloit, Loves Park, Elgin, and DeKalb.

We provide customers with the highest standards of quality, speed, and courtesy:

Team Driving - Hot Shot Trucking mandates that whenever one of our vehicles has to travel beyond a certain distance, there must be two drivers to operate it. This allows the drivers to take turns resting and driving, so that the truck can stay on the road day and night without either individual becoming too tired to do their job effectively.
Dedicated Shipping - Not only do we reserve two drivers for each vehicle, but we reserve a vehicle for your order. This gives us a speed advantage over shippers that make you share space with other clients. It also makes it easier for us to install storage devices for your goods, enhancing our ability to ship perishable or fragile items.
Advanced Planning & Tracking - No matter how distant or hard to reach the destination may be, we plan the journey out ahead of time. We also track our vehicles while they are on the way, allowing us to guide them around closed roads, heavy traffic, and other sources of delay that may arise.
Courteous Customer Service - Our customer service team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to answer your call, take new orders, or respond to any questions about current orders. Because of our advanced tracking systems, the service team can also update you on the location of your order and give you estimates on when it is likely to arrive.
