Your truck and trailer
Equipment configuration, usable capacity and loading limits help establish which freight is worth considering. Confirm actual ratings and carrier requirements.
Hotshot dispatch: equipment & lane fit
Does the next load
fit your operation?
Start with your equipment, operating area and costs. A useful dispatch conversation considers the whole trip—and leaves the load decision with the carrier.
Bring four things to the conversation.
Your lanes and availability
Share your home base, preferred operating area, available days and return-home needs. Include where the truck will be before pickup.
Your whole-trip costs
Compare loaded and empty miles, fuel, tolls, timing and known expenses. A higher posted load rate does not by itself establish a better result.
Your communication plan matters too. Identify who approves a load, handles a changed instruction and receives the signed delivery records.
Use a working checklist.
These illustrative tools organize the questions. They are not rate quotes or promises of available freight.
- Whole-Trip Decision Worksheet — compare the full trip and its assumptions.
- Carrier–Dispatcher Approval Sheet — define decisions and document handoffs.
- Dispatch support guide — prepare for the service discussion.
Choose the right next step.
Operating under your own authority? Review the dispatch service scope and support options. Bringing your truck to a carrier relationship? Use the separate HIT owner-operator inquiry. Looking to drive a company truck? Start with company-driver interest.
Can you review my existing dispatch arrangement?
An optional $195 / 60-minute Dispatch Performance Review examines a defined question. It is separate from ongoing dispatch and the complimentary fit call.
THS is not a motor carrier. An inquiry does not activate dispatch, reserve a load or guarantee freight, rates or earnings.
Complimentary 15-minute call. Send your equipment and lane question.
