Hot Shot Trucking Rochester
(585) 268-6808

Our shipping speed is the result of many factors, most importantly:

• Truck Dispersal— HotShotTrucking.com coordinates a network of thousands of affiliated vehicles, including sprinter vans, small straight trucks, large straight trucks, and tractor trailers. These vehicles are spread throughout North America, so that we’re never more than two hours away from any potential loading point. Because our vehicles are so widespread, it’s never a challenge for us to take over for your standard shipping operations when those operations don’t work out. We’ll identify the closest truck and dispatch it to your starting point immediately. From there, it’s just a matter of driving to Rochester, which we do at the highest legal speed along the best possible route.
• Route Perfection— When we say that we follow the best possible route, we mean it. Our experienced coordination team is highly adept at selecting the most rapid and reliable route from a wide range of different options. We consider each path between your starting point and Rochester, narrowing them down based on length, speed limits, storm risk, traffic congestion, road quality, and a host of other factors. The goal is to construct a route that is as secure as it is speedy, so that the risk of delay or disruption is vanishingly low. Thanks to our route planning expertise, you can expect to receive your items not just quickly, but exactly when we said you would get them.
• Delivery Tracking— HotShotTrucking.com doesn’t just plan the perfect route ahead of time. We also follow it in real time to make sure it really is perfect. By installing the best available monitoring equipment on our affiliated vehicles, we’re able to track them at each point in their journey. We then watch the roads ahead of those vehicles to see if any problems are arising that we didn’t expect. Should we see a traffic jam, a pothole, an ice road, or some other issue that we didn’t predict, we’ll immediately get in touch with the driver and let them know about it. The driver can then change over to an alternate road and thus keep your goods moving all the way. By insulting our deliveries against the unpredictable, we maximize the chance that your items will arrive when you need them.
• Driver Vetting— So much of our strategy relies on having drivers who work in tandem with our central planning operations. We thus make sure to hire only drivers we trust. Through our extensive vetting process, we select for affiliates who are highly skilled and experienced and who have a track record of safe, courteous deliveries. Our goal is to ensure that you never hand off your precious supplies to someone we would not trust with our own possessions.
• Team Alternation— Not only do we hire the best drivers, but we make sure they’re positioned for success throughout the delivery process. One way we do this is by sending them out in pairs on almost all deliveries, with exceptions only when the route is so short that they can pass it in a few hours. Each driver only has to drive for half the time, and can rest whenever the other one’s at the wheel. This way, both drivers are fully rested throughout the journey and can do their jobs safely. Yet we never have to stop our trucks overnight, meaning that hours and hours of lost time are eliminated. Thus, our team driving strategy ensures the best possible results for both our clients and our truckers.
