Ethics In Hot Shot Transport - Timeline

When we began operations in 2011 we immediately received pleased but surprised responses from customers who were amazed we did what we initially promised to do. We thought “wow this business might be a snap”.

Ethics in any industry is vital but unfortunately lacking all too often. In transport shippers might “underestimate” dimensions and freight magically “grows” before we arrive to load. Truck operators may run into “bad weather” and receivers could drag their feet paying claiming their “check run is next week”.

Ethics becomes more important in critical rush shipments like hotshotting. Time sensitive transport requires your carrier to create a reasonable expectation on the timeline and total costs you will be committing to. 

When asked for an estimated timeline we will honestly give the realistic parameters even if this means losing your business on this particular shipment. The carrier overpromising will likely show their lack of ethics and we will have another opportunity in the future to showcase our service.
