Hot Shot Trailers Asheboro NC
Welcome to our comprehensive Hot Shot Trailers Buyer’s Guide. In this guide, we’ll explore the world of hot shot trucking and why Diamond C should be your top choice for hot shot trailers. Discover our cutting-edge features, available upgrades, and the models that are perfect for your hot shot business.
Hot Shot Trucking Unveiled:
Before we delve into our range of hot shot trailers, let’s understand what hot shot trucking is all about. It’s a burgeoning trend in the trucking industry, where flatbed trailer owners operate class 3, 4, 5, or 6 rated pickup trucks instead of full semi-tractors. This approach is not only cost-effective but also offers accessibility for newcomers to the industry. Hot shot truckers typically handle “for hire” freight jobs, often involving expedited deliveries of items like construction materials, heavy machinery, farm equipment, and other time-sensitive cargo. These hauls can span short local distances to long cross-country journeys.
Why Choose Diamond C for Your Hot Shot Trailer?:
Diamond C is your ideal partner in hot shot trucking, and here’s why;
Engineered Beam Technology:
Our trailers feature U.S. Patent Protected ENGINEERED BEAM TECHNOLOGY. This innovation enables us to custom design, engineer, and optimize I-Beams to suit each model’s specific weight classification, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratios.
Size and Length Options:
Our GOOSENECK trailers are available in lengths ranging from 20′ to 44′, with 40′ being the preferred choice for many hot shot trailer users. All our flatbed gooseneck trailers boast a 102″ bed width.
Weight Savings:
Thanks to our ENGINEERED BEAM TECHNOLOGY, our trailers are considerably lighter than most. This weight advantage is vital for hot shot trailer users, especially when opting for higher-rated GVWR trailers in longer lengths, leading to enhanced payload capacity.
Axles:
LIPPERT AXLES are the choice for most hot shot users, available in 10K, 12K, or 16K dual tandem configurations. We also offer triple axle setups using 3 – 7K, 3 – 10K, or 3 – 12K configurations, ensuring top-notch quality.
Valcrum Hubcaps:
For enhanced durability, we include Valcrum’s premium aluminum alloy oil hubcaps on all 8K – 16K axles, replacing standard factory plastic caps.

Available on specific models, this heavy-duty 40,000 lb GVWR upgrade includes a 3″ Ball 40K TELESCOUPLER and frame and neck reinforcements for maximum strength.
Tire/Wheel Upgrades:
Choose from SUPER SINGLE TIRES or HD 215 TIRES, both offering exceptional durability and performance in demanding conditions.
Brake Options:
Our trailers come with a choice of HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES or other brake systems, providing longevity, superior stopping power, and cost-effective maintenance.
Coupler Upgrades:
Enhance your trailer with SHOCKER HITCH couplers, 30,000 lb Load Leveler Couplers, or adjustable “TELESCOUPLER” couplers, all designed to improve the towing experience.

Opt for AIR RIDE SUSPENSION or HUTCH HEAVY DUTY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION for a smoother, quieter ride and extended trailer life.
Loading Options:
Choose from a variety of loading options, including MAX RAMPS, 12′ HYDRAULIC DOVETAIL, XDR RAMPS, or STRAIGHT DECK configurations to suit your specific needs.

Choosing the Best Hot Shot Trailer:
While model preferences can vary, our most popular hot shot trailer is the FMAX212, especially the 40′ length with MAX RAMPS and AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. For those needing higher GVWR trailers, we recommend our flagship model, the FMAX216.
Innovations in Step Deck Trailers:
We’re also introducing Engineered Beam STEP DECK models, bridging the gap between traditional goosenecks and semi-trailer step decks. With deck lengths ranging from 38′ to 43′, and 10′ of useable deck space, these models are ideal for your hot shot business.
