How HotshotUnited works
One operating path for carriers, owners, and drivers.
HotshotUnited connects the parts that usually sit in separate tools: onboarding, driver files, document creation, digital signatures, messaging, rate confirmations, load evidence, equipment, IFTA, DVIR, and hotshot load discovery.
1
Create the carrier workspace
The owner/operator adds the business, DOT/MC details, drivers, truck, trailer, document defaults, and notification rules.
2
Bring drivers into the portal
Drivers log in free through their carrier relationship to complete onboarding, receive documents, sign, and message from one place.
3
Run the live workflow
Owners manage loads, rate confirmations, broker evidence, redactions, disciplinary records, maintenance, IFTA, and ELD readiness.
What makes the platform different
- Built around 1-to-5 truck hotshot carriers instead of enterprise tractor-trailer fleets.
- Document templates create real driver-specific records, not shortcode pages.
- Owners can remove sensitive rate-con details before drivers receive a copy.
- Loadboard work starts with permitted integrations and hotshot-specific filtering.
- Driver actions, opens, signatures, and messages stay tied to the portal audit trail.
- Bailout intake keeps truck-in-shop assistance separate from normal subscriptions and subject to signed approval.
Where users should start
- Carriers should start at Pricing, choose an owner plan, then complete the owner portal setup.
- Drivers invited by a carrier should use Driver Login and complete any assigned documents.
- Independent drivers who want loadboard access can choose Driver Loadboard from Pricing.
- Drivers seeking Bailout assistance should use Driver Pro and complete the required intake once the workflow opens.
