Overview
Hotshot hauling pairs a Class 3–5 pickup or cab-chassis with a gooseneck flatbed, usually 30 to 40 feet, to move smaller, urgent loads directly, without waiting on a full truckload.
Low decks with dovetails and ramps make it easy to drive equipment on, and the open deck takes oilfield parts, machinery, building materials and vehicles. Ratings vary by trailer, and we'll help you match one to your truck and license class.
- 30, 35 and 40 ft gooseneck flatbed configurations
- Dovetail with flip-over or mega ramps for drive-on loading
- Dual-wheel tandem axles, ≈ 24,000–30,000 lb GVWR
