Hotshot trucking lives and dies by speed and reliability. Shippers paying hotshot rates expect their freight picked up in hours, not days — and they pay a serious premium for that commitment. ATC Dispatching specializes in hotshot dispatch for CDL and non-CDL operators running everything from bumper pulls to gooseneck flatbeds and RGN tag trailers. We source from oil field services, construction equipment, industrial parts, agriculture, and time-critical general freight — the lanes where hotshot operators make real money.
We don't just find loads — we build a comprehensive dispatch operation around your equipment, your lanes, and your business goals.
Hotshot means NOW. Our dispatchers work after-hours, weekends, and holidays to match you with urgent freight that commands premium rates.
Oilfield services freight is hotshot gold — consistent, heavy, and high-paying. We have direct relationships with oilfield service companies across the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, Bakken, and Marcellus.
Our dispatch team includes specialists in oversized and overweight hotshot permitting. We coordinate every permit, pilot car, and routing requirement so you can haul heavier and earn more.
Whether you're running a Class A with a 40-foot gooseneck or a Class B with a 20-foot bumper pull, we have loads that fit your configuration.
Shippers on hotshot loads expect communication. We provide real-time status updates to brokers and shippers on your behalf, protecting your reputation and your repeat business.
Hotshot operators burn significantly more fuel per mile than OTR. We negotiate fuel surcharges aggressively and ensure every load includes appropriate FSC protection.
We earn a percentage of your gross load revenue. When you earn more, we earn more. Our incentives are perfectly aligned with yours.

Not always. We dispatch both CDL and non-CDL hotshot operators. Non-CDL operators (GVWR under 26,001 lbs) typically run bumper-pull trailers. CDL operators can run gooseneck and RGN configurations for heavier, higher-paying freight.
Bumper pull, gooseneck, RGN, lowboy, and tag trailer configurations. We match the load to your trailer type and weight capacity.
We use DAT, Truckstop, direct broker calls, oil field service company relationships, and our own load network. Hotshot loads require speed — we move fast to secure loads before they're gone.
6%–8% of gross load pay. No flat fees, no weekly minimums. If you're not running, we're not earning — our incentives are completely aligned.
Yes. Our compliance team coordinates oversize and overweight permits, pilot car requirements, and state-by-state routing. We handle the paperwork; you handle the driving.
