Expedited Freight

In general, expedited freight is a term used to describe a professional trucking job in which a van, truck, flatbed, or rig is hauling time-sensitive material. Because time is of the essence, the premiums paid are usually higher, as is the per-mile rate. The schedule is almost always tight where expedited freight is concerned.

“Hotshot” is more of a casual term, usually describing flatbed or rig jobs requiring immediate service and non-stop delivery. It is sometimes described as bringing a product straight off the assembly line and to the client. The pay is usually very good for “hotshot” jobs.
