Find hot shot loads with DAT TruckersEdge.

  1. Post your truck: Enter your current location, favorable destinations, dates available and equipment type. Add details about your truck, like the cargo or dock height, size of door opening, how many pallets will fit, the size of the lift gate, and whether you have furniture pads or a pallet jack. Before posting, be sure to include an alert on the posting so it will keep track of inquiries for you. 
  2. General Equipment Search: When you do a general search, choose equipment types like flatbed, standard deck, and specialized deck and choose “partial” instead of “full” load. Tip: Filter results by truck length and weight to find the right loads for your vehicle.
  3. Specific Equipment Search: You can also do a more specific type of search, choosing “flatbed hot shot” as the equipment type, with both partial and full loads.

Another tip: Mark your general and specific searches as “favorites” and set an alarm on each one so you see the latest postings.
