Giving opportunity to make income to private hot-shotters on a auction bidding basis similar to eBay is a great capitalistic idea which helps both the service providers and the shippers. The hot-shotters have less overhead expenses than scheduled carriers and they are eager to have your business, unlike scheduled carriers who are arrogant and inflexible. The private hot-shotters also take care of the goods better than scheduled carriers because there is personal touch. Just watch out to make sure your goods are covered by some kind of freight insurance and check the feedback ratings to avoid unscrupulous opportunists. We saved about 63% over scheduled trucking company in having a golf cart transported from PA to TX. We are going to use this service for our commercial shipments in the future.
