Hotshot & expedited
A dedicated van, leaving as soon as you hang up
Hotshot means your freight rides alone, straight from pickup to delivery, no other stops. We keep a cargo van and driver on call around the clock for parts, equipment, documents and anything else that cannot wait for the scheduled truck.
Typical hotshots: a hydraulic pump from a Minot dealer to a combine near Weyburn, a valve from a Regina supplier to a lease site south of Estevan, a pallet from Saskatoon to Bismarck overnight. If it fits in a cargo van and it is legal to cross, we will move it.
- Dispatch answers 24/7, 365

- Canada and U.S. wide, any distance

Customers
Trusted on both sides of the border
We have a standing pickup with South Port. Parts ordered from Minot on Monday are on my counter Wednesday morning and I never have to phone about the border.
They pick up from our dock every morning and our Minot customers have it the same day. Same driver, same time. That consistency is worth a lot.
Combine went down at 6pm. Called South Port, the part left Minot at nine and was in the yard before midnight. Harvest kept going.
Hotshots to lease sites at odd hours and they always find the road. Dispatch actually answers, which is rarer than it should be.
Our Canadian shipments used to be a headache. South Port sorted the paperwork with our broker once and it has been routine ever since.
