The problem

Old freight tech doesn't fit how you actually ship.

You pay for 53 feet. You use 14.

Most load boards are built for semis. When you ship a partial load, you're either overpaying for unused trailer space or waiting hours for a broker to find a 'maybe.'

Brokers take 20%. You get a phone tag.

The middleman marks up your rate, adds a day to your timeline, and disappears when the driver is late. You just needed a box truck Tuesday morning.

DAT doesn't care about hot shot.

Big boards treat box trucks and cargo vans like an afterthought. Your load gets buried under 10,000 semi postings. Drivers never see it.

The Hot Rig difference

A marketplace built for the freight you actually move.

/ 01

Right-size your freight

Post your load dimensions. We match it to the exact rig — box truck, sprinter van, or dually with trailer. No more paying for air inside a 53-footer.

/ 02

Every driver is vetted

Insurance checked. Equipment photographed. Driving history reviewed. These aren't random guys with a pickup — they're professional hot shot operators.

/ 03

See where your load is

Real-time tracking from pickup to delivery. Know exactly when your equipment hits the job site. No more 'driver went dark' panic.

Founder-led

Built by a trucker. Not a Silicon Valley boardroom.

Hotrig was built by someone who actually dispatched loads, negotiated with brokers, and sat in a truck cab at 2 AM waiting for the next run. We know why shippers get frustrated — because we've lived it.

This is founder-led onboarding. You don't get routed to a call center. You talk to the person building the platform. That means fast answers, real feedback, and a product that actually improves because you asked for it.

Currently onboarding a limited number of Texas and Midwest shippers. Request a demo to see if your lane is open.

Use cases

Real freight, moved right.

Rig parts that can't wait

When a pump goes down, you don't need a semi. You need a box truck with a liftgate and a driver who knows the Permian Basin. Post at 6 AM. Moving by 8.

Lumber, pipe, and hardware — partial loads, full speed

Your crew is waiting. Your regular truck is booked. Post the load, match a verified hot shot driver, and keep the schedule on track.

Deliveries without the dealer premium

Move tractors, mowers, and light equipment without paying FTL rates for a half-full trailer. Right-size the truck, right-size the cost.
