Emergency
Immediate dispatch. Driver en route within 15 minutes. For rig-down, line-stop, and critical emergencies.
Rush
Priority pickup within 4 hours. Dedicated truck, direct route, no stops.
Express
Same-day pickup and delivery within Alberta. The workhorse tier for urgent freight.

What We Haul
If it fits on a truck, we move it. WestNet Hot Shot handles everything from a single bolt to a full flatbed of steel — and every load gets the same priority treatment.

Medical & Lab Supplies
Temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, lab specimens, medical equipment. Handled with the care they demand.
Industrial Parts
Manufacturing components, machinery parts, plant maintenance supplies. When a line is down, every hour costs thousands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hot shot trucking is an expedited freight delivery service that uses smaller, dedicated trucks — rather than waiting for a full truckload to fill — to move time-critical cargo directly from pickup to delivery. It's the fastest ground shipping option available, ideal for emergency parts, oilfield equipment, construction materials, and any freight that can't wait for standard LTL schedules. WestNet Heavy Industries has provided hot shot service from Calgary since 1996.
Our emergency tier dispatches a driver within 15 minutes — ideal for rig-down and production-stop situations. Rush service guarantees pickup within 4 hours. Express delivers same-day within Alberta. Standard is next business day at our best rate. All tiers get a dedicated truck — your freight never shares space or waits for other pickups.
Pricing depends on three factors: distance (pickup to delivery), weight class, and urgency level. Use our instant quote calculator at the top of this page to get a firm price in seconds. Minimums start at $75 for document deliveries. Fuel surcharges and urgency premiums are shown transparently — no hidden fees. Volume discounts are available for regular shippers.
WestNet Hot Shot serves all of Alberta — Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray, and everywhere in between. We also run daily service to BC (Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna), Saskatchewan (Regina, Saskatoon), and Manitoba (Winnipeg). Cross-border shipments to the US are available under our US DOT 2517352 authority.
Yes. Every booking receives a WHS tracking number with live status updates.

We match the right vehicle to your freight — you never pay for a flatbed when a van will do.

Hot Shot Trucking in Calgary — Built for Alberta's Economy
Alberta's economy runs on speed. When an oilfield rig goes down near Grande Prairie, when a manufacturing plant in Red Deer needs a critical part by morning, when a construction crew in Calgary is waiting on steel — the difference between a hot shot truck and a standard carrier can be measured in thousands of dollars of downtime.
WestNet Heavy Industries has been in the logistics business since 1996, long before "hot shot" became a buzzword. We built our reputation on the principle that every shipment matters as much to us as it does to the person waiting for it. That's why every hot shot load gets a dedicated truck, a direct route, and real-time tracking from pickup to delivery.
Unlike brokers who subcontract your freight to the lowest bidder, WestNet dispatches from our own fleet. Your cargo never changes hands. One driver picks it up, one driver delivers it. That means fewer touch points, less risk of damage, and faster transit times. For high-value or sensitive freight — medical equipment, oilfield tools, IT hardware — that direct chain of custody is not a luxury, it's a requirement.
Our instant quoting system eliminates the biggest frustration in the hot shot industry: waiting for a callback. While other companies are still checking voicemail, you've already got a firm price on screen and a driver on the road. That's what async logistics technology delivers — and it's why project managers across Alberta are making WestNet their first call.
Cross-border capability sets WestNet apart from most Calgary-area hot shot operators. Our US DOT 2517352 authority means we can run loads from Calgary to Montana, Utah, Phoenix, and all 48 contiguous states without third-party handoffs. We handle the customs paperwork, the border clearance, and the last-mile delivery on both sides. One carrier. One tracking number. Zero headaches.
Whether you need an emergency dispatch in 15 minutes or a scheduled next-day delivery at the best rate, WestNet Heavy Industries has the right truck, the right driver, and the technology to keep you informed every mile of the way. Get your instant quote now — or call dispatch direct at (403) 774-7470.
