Why Charlotte, NC is a Critical Hub for Hot Shot and Expedited Freight

Charlotte benefits from a unique convergence of highways, rail, and air infrastructure that make it an indispensable node for regional and national freight.

Highway Access: Situated along I-85 and intersected by I-77 and I-485, Charlotte offers seamless north-south and east-west connections. Freight can travel quickly to Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville, or even into the heart of Kentucky within hours.
Proximity to Key Markets: With easy access to over half the U.S. population within a day’s drive, Charlotte is a prime launching point for hot shot loads, just-in-time parts, and last-minute deliveries.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT): One of the busiest airports in the nation, CLT handles a high volume of domestic air freight—making it an ideal hub for Next Flight Out (NFO) and same-day air cargo services.

What is Hot Shot Trucking?

Hot shot trucking refers to urgent, time-sensitive deliveries using medium-duty trucks, often pulling flatbed or gooseneck trailers. These loads are smaller than full truckloads but too important to wait on traditional LTL timelines. For businesses that need to move freight fast be it construction materials, industrial equipment, or emergency supplies hot shot is the answer.

At The Expedited Company, our hot shot services are available 24/7/365, with dedicated trucks and drivers ready to roll at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a last-minute job site need or a critical repair part for a stalled production line, we move fast, safely, and reliably.
