Hotshot Carrier Defined

A hotshot carrier is a trucking company that specializes in transporting small, time-sensitive loads. Hotshot carriers typically use smaller trucks, such as straight trucks or box trucks, to transport their loads. They often have a network of drivers who are available to pick up and deliver loads on short notice.

Hotshot carriers are often used by businesses that need to move equipment or supplies quickly. They may also be used by individuals who need to move a large piece of furniture or other household item.

Household Goods Carriers

Hotshot carriers typically charge a higher rate than traditional trucking companies. However, they offer a number of advantages, including:

Speed: Hotshot carriers can often deliver loads much faster than traditional trucking companies.
Convenience: Hotshot carriers can often pick up and deliver loads on short notice.
Flexibility: Hotshot carriers can often transport loads that are too small or too large for traditional trucking companies.

Energy Efficient

The carbon footprint of shipping a 2 ton motor 1000 miles by air is approximately 1,100 pounds of CO2. The carbon footprint of shipping the same motor 1000 miles by ground is approximately 200 pounds of CO2.

Air freight is a very energy-intensive form of transportation. It takes a lot of fuel to get a plane off the ground and keep it in the air. The average commercial jet emits about 4.4 pounds of CO2 per passenger mile. So, if you’re flying a 2-ton motor 1000 miles, you’re emitting about 1,100 pounds of CO2.

Ground transportation is much more fuel-efficient than air freight. The average semi-truck emits about 0.7 pounds of CO2 per ton-mile. So, if you’re shipping a 2-ton motor 1000 miles by ground, you’re emitting about 200 pounds of CO2.

If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, shipping by ground is the better option. However, if you need to get the motor there quickly, air freight may be your only option.

Huntsville Air Freight

JLK Trucking has been running air freight to and from the port of Huntsville Alabama airport code HSV for customers wanting air freight picked up and dropped off at the air port for expedited shipping situations. We can also compare the speed at which we can run an expedited shipping load from the Huntsville area direct by truck, in some cases we can pick up your load within hours and deliver it at the customers destination hours later. For example, on a shipment from Memphis Tennessee to Huntsville Alabama we were called on to schedule a pickup at the Huntsville (HSV) Alabama port for local dock delivery.

Steel town Birmingham Alabama

http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/h-1638

After the civil war, Birmingham became the largest steel producing area in the south east. Steel production requires iron ore, coke, coal, limestone and dolomite. Postbellum steel production technology involved the use of blast furnaces, and limestone and dolomite were used with the iron ore to carry away impurities, like a flux, except in this case it was called slag. Raw material were found in the unique geology of the region, and an abundance of railroads allowed for the transport of raw materials and finished product.

Like building Pullman rail cars and coal mining, a ‘company town’ aspect of production arose. Critics point to high mortality rates in the growth of the industry, but this was also true of the age, and of steel production in northeastern centers. Later, industries developed that produced pipe and fittings.

Early Birmingham pipe producers made cast iron, or ductile pipe. Later, a large production and distribution of steel pipe evolved. Many people forget that most of the pipe for the Alaskan pipeline was purchased from Japan, the pipeline was built in the 1970’s.

There is still a large steel pipe distribution network centered in Birmingham, with a great deal of the pipe being imported and some produced domestically. With it’s centralized shipping points, Birmingham ships the most pipe in the southeast by rail and truck. Major shippers include U.S. Pipe, Nucor, American Pipe and Supply and Consolidated Pipe & Supply.

The modern steel pipe industry serves the pipeline industry, refinery and chemical plant construction and vessel manufacturing. Modern steel pipe is produced in two formats in general, ERW and Seamless. ERW is Electric Resistance Welded and produced by folding sheets of metal into a pipe and welding the seam. Seamless pipe is extruded.

Korn & Alice In Chains

Oak Mountain Amphitheatre (formerly the Verizon Wireless Music Center)

Korn & Alice In Chains come to Oak Mountain Amphitheatre on Tuesday 23rd July 2019! Rock and metal

Oak Mountain Amphitheatre

Formed in Seattle, Washington in 1987, Alice In Chains found fame in the 1990s alongside fellow Seattle bands Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden as part of the grunge movement. The group became one of the most successful bands of the 1990s, selling over 30 million records worldwide (over 14 million records in the US alone), with two number one albums and six top ten albums on the Billboard 200 chart. The band’s debut, Facelift, which was released in 1990, was certified double-platinum and lead the way for similar success with their third and fourth albums. In 1996, the band took an unofficial hiatus due to lead vocalist Layne Staley’s struggles with addiction that eventually culminated in his death in 2002. In 2005, the remaining band members reunited for a charity concert and in 2006 Alice In Chains began touring and recording again with William DuVall taking over as lead vocalist full-time. Rainier Fog, the band’s sixth and most recent studio album, was released in 2018, debuting at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
