Hot Shot Truck Dispatching Services In Texas

In the fast-moving world of logistics, speed and reliability matter. That’s exactly why hot shot trucking has become one of the most in-demand freight services in Texas. Whether it’s urgent oilfield equipment in Midland or time-sensitive construction supplies in Houston, businesses rely on hot shot drivers to deliver quickly and efficiently.

At Arrow Dispatch Services, we specialize in hot shot truck dispatching services in Texas, helping independent drivers and small fleets find the best-paying loads, minimize downtime and stay compliant without the stress.

What is Hot Shot Trucking?

Hot shot trucking involves hauling smaller, time-sensitive loads using a Class 3 to Class 5 truck (usually a pickup) and a flatbed trailer. It’s ideal for:

  • Quick delivery jobs
  • Last-minute shipments
  • Light machinery or building materials
  • Oilfield and construction support

Because hot shot hauls are typically short-notice and high-priority, drivers need a dependable dispatcher working behind the scenes and that’s where Arrow Dispatch Services shines.
