Hotshot Transport Sydney
Urgent freight on one dedicated vehicle. One consignment, no waiting on a consolidated run.
Hot shot freight on a dedicated truck
When something has to move right now, hotshot transport gets it there without waiting for a scheduled freight run to fill up. We dispatch a dedicated vehicle straight to your pickup point and take your consignment directly to its destination.
It’s the option our clients reach for when a breakdown, a missed part, or a tight deadline means the freight simply can’t wait.
Weekends and public holidays are not a problem, and if your own team is not on site we will load the truck ourselves and run the job start to finish.

- Dedicated vehicle for your consignment only
- Fast dispatch, often same day
- Weekend and public holiday call outs

Father’s Day call out, ICC Sydney
A client rang on the Sunday of Father’s Day. Last minute booking, no notice, and he wanted to give his own team the day off. We took the job over and ran it ourselves.
Picked up and delivered the same day into the lower hall at ICC Sydney. Our crew loaded the truck and did two rounds to get the whole lot in.
