Insurance for hotshot operations.
Hotshot trucking, hauling time-sensitive loads with a medium-duty truck and trailer, is its own underwriting conversation, with carrier appetite that depends on authority, radius, and what you haul.

Why hotshot is its own conversation
Hotshot operations vary widely, from local expedited loads to long-haul runs, and carriers price the authority, radius, commodity, and equipment carefully. Being clear about how you actually operate is what gets you the right coverage at a workable price.
Cargo, trailer, and equipment
Hotshot loads are often equipment, machinery, or construction materials, so motor truck cargo and the right limit matter, and your trailer and rig need physical damage. The commodity you haul affects both the cargo coverage and the appetite.
Authority and filings
If you run under your own authority, the FMCSA financial-responsibility filing applies, and the coverage and filing have to line up before you can haul. We help coordinate the program and the filing. This is general guidance; verify FMCSA requirements directly.
