Hot Shot Hauling
Hot Shot Hauling
For many people, hot shot hauling is a low-cost entry point into the trucking industry. Here's how to get started, and how DAT can help.

- Find hot shot loads quickly and efficiently.
- Use market insights to guide your operation.
- Rest easy with dock-to-dock support.

The DAT network is the largest of its kind, helping to connect drivers and carriers with brokers, shippers, and dispatchers all across the country.
DAT makes it easy to find the right loads for your trucks at the right time. Post your equipment for brokers to find or search along specific routes. Our system will send you a notification as soon as it detects a match for your search. That way, you won’t miss a single hot shot load.
Use market insights to guide your operation.
DAT not only helps you find loads, we also provide valuable data to help you choose the right business partners.
Each load listing on our boards includes useful information about the broker or shipper, including credit scores, reviews from other clients, and average days to pay. We also provide the most accurate average rate data for more than 68,000 lanes, including hot shot hauling rates. The more you know, the better you’ll be able to ensure you’re paid fairly and competitively for your work.

Cutting-edge logistics tools can be prohibitively expensive for new owner operators and carrier services, but DAT One is a free app designed to give you access to tools and resources that will help you plan your routes, find parking and rest stops, check fuel prices, and search for nearby hot shot loads. Plus, we’re always in the process of adding new features to the app to expand its functionality. If you become a paid DAT subscriber, we also offer the DAT One mobile app that gives you full access to all loads on the DAT network.
DAT makes it simple to find the loads you’re looking for. Our load boards not only allow you unlimited posts and searches, but they also include the option to get alerts when the system finds a match for your vehicle. Nearly 1 million listings are added to our board each business day, so there’s plenty of opportunities out there.
