How it runs

01

Dedicated equipment from pickup through POD, without consolidation or unrelated freight.

Dispatch confirms pieces, dimensions, weight, access, the driver, and the delivery commitment before acceptance. The shipment then moves direct in the best-fit Sprinter or Dry Box Truck.

The calls that start a hot shot are rarely calm ones: the driver fell off, the shipment missed its cutoff, the freight just released and the warehouse closes in three hours. What the forwarder needs in that moment is a fast, honest answer — can a truck be committed, and by when. BEExpedite dispatch answers 24/7 and gives that answer in minutes, because the checklist is short and practiced: shipment details, pickup facility, release status, receiving hours, done.

The service itself is deliberately simple. One vehicle is assigned to one shipment, the driver runs pickup to delivery without a cross-dock or a terminal sort, and the live tracking link reports position every 15 minutes so nobody has to call for an update. More than 1,000 shipments have moved this way — local Chicagoland runs, recurring lanes into Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, and one-off runs to wherever the freight has to be, with anything past the 500-mile ring quoted case by case.

What is hot shot service from ORD?

How much can a hot shot load carry?

Up to 14 standard pallets and 12,000 lb on a 24-foot dry box truck, or up to 4 pallets on a Sprinter for lighter, faster loads.

How quickly can a hot shot be dispatched?

Dispatch confirms pieces, dimensions, weight, access, the driver, and the delivery commitment before acceptance, 24/7. When an ORD pickup needs it, a confirmed vehicle is at the facility within two hours of acceptance.
