Hot Shot trucking refers to a truck smaller then the usual semi truck and trailer. There are many varieties of setups that fall into this group, but one of the most common setups is a 1-ton diesel dually pulling a 40′ gooseneck trailer. A Hot Shot, can amount to one piece not taking up the space or weight of a standard 80,000 GVW semi, or it can be a full trailer load that is low enough in weight to still be hauled by a smaller rig.
