Critical Hot Shot Trucking Freight for Rhode Island
With just over 1500 square miles, a third of which is water, Rhode Island is the smallest US state by area. But in terms of industry, the Ocean State is a giant! The state began as a major fishing and port site, and quickly developed into one of the early centers of the Industrial Revolution. Its manufacturing prowess continues to this day, notably in that Rhode Island is one of the major construction sites for the United States Navy’s nuclear submarines. Its capital city also has one of the largest deep water ports in New England, and the area’s large Portuguese and Cape Verdean populations give it close business and personal connections to other major centers of North Atlantic trade. It’s no exaggeration to say that Rhode Island plays a major role in American maritime dominance. HotShotTrucking.com complements this maritime dominance through effective ground coordination.

Rhode Island Freight Experience
Tight delivery schedules are a mainstay of maritime trade. Whether your business is producing items for naval export or purchasing naval imports, it’s critical that you reach the port during the brief period when the ship is docked there. HotShotTrucking.com makes it easy for you to work within those tight schedules. As an expedited trucking coordinator, we have years of experience planning deliveries to Providence and other Rhode Island towns at the last minute. We can draw on a network of vehicles that extends all over Canada, Mexico, and other parts of the United States, and can thus easily load up items from any supply point. And our coordination team knows how to watch the roads for disruptions and steer our affiliated drivers around them, so that unexpected obstacles don’t get in the way of your shipment. By working with HotShotTrucking.com, your Rhode Island business can stay strong in the face of any logistics crisis.
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
Rhode Island businesses need clear information on their ground shipments, especially to the extent that they’re trying to coordinate with maritime carriers and other sea-based industries. We make it easy for all our Ocean State clients to access this information. Our single point of contact (SPOC) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for you to call and ask questions about your order. If you need to know when the order will arrive, our team will use advanced tracking tech to tell you the location, remaining distance, and likely delivery time. If you want to know whether anything about the delivery plan has changed, you can call to ask whether any obstacles have arisen ahead of your supplies and, if so, what we’re doing to steer around them. No matter what you need to know, you can learn it from our SPOC.
Concierge-Level Customer Service
HotShotTrucking.com strives to give each client not only information but also influence. We take a collaborative approach to our orders, involving clients as deeply in the process as they want to be involved. If you have strong opinions on which of our affiliated vehicles or available services we should choose, you can call our SPOC, discuss the matter with us, and make the final decision. Likewise, if you feel strongly about how we respond to unexpected disruptions during delivery, you can call the same SPOC, listen to all the alternate routes we have in mind, and choose the one you want us to take. In each case, we’ll tell you the different pros and cons and make recommendations, but we won’t interfere in your right to decide. From start to finish, this will be your order, and our role will be to execute your instructions as accurately as possible.
Sprinter Vans
As their name implies, sprinter vans allow us to deliver supplies in a “sprint,” passing over shorter distances at the highest legal speed. We incorporate sprinter vans into our network so that smaller orders, especially those delivered within Rhode Island or from neighboring states, can be accommodated without any redundant space or cost. Our fleet of sprinter vans comes in a variety of sizes and has a variety of features, including refrigeration and freezing. This means that we can find the vehicle that is best for your specific items and dispatch it directly to your loading point; from there, we can send it straight to your destination in Rhode Island. By using sprinter vans for clients of all stripes, we treat the smallest orders with the same high level of priority as the largest ones and meet the needs of all Rhode Island businesses.
Straight Trucks
In addition to sprinter vans, HotShotTrucking.com also recruits straight trucks and drivers for our network. These vehicles have larger cargo capacity, and thus can bring heavier orders into Rhode Island. They’re especially well suited to orders from starting points that are further away. As with sprinter vans, the HotShotTrucking.com involves finding the best straight truck for your supplies, making sure that it has the precise cargo carrying capacity, refrigeration or freezing equipment, and other features to match your needs. Once your items are loaded on the straight truck, we’ll monitor them to make sure they reach Rhode Island without any disruption along the way.
53ft Dry Vans
Along with our mix of affiliated sprinter vans and straight trucks, HotShotTrucking.com also has 53ft dry vans or tractor trailers in our network. These vehicles can carry even the largest loads on a single trip, allowing you to transport those items from far away without problems. Dry vans do lose some maneuverability due to their sheer size, but we minimize any resulting delivery issues by tracking them and watching the route ahead. By doing this, we’re able to find road closures and traffic jams along the route and guide the vehicle to avoid them, allowing the delivery to move forward regardless of any unpleasant surprises.
