7 Reasons Santa Claus is like Hot Shot Delivery
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011
1. Although unknown to most, Santa Claus’ suit was inspired by ‘Hot Shot Red & white’. With delivery so reliable, Santa felt compelled to have the same trusted reputation, so he modeled his signature wardrobe after Hot Shot Delivery!
2. Both Hot Shot and Santa Claus use the latest & greatest in tracking technology. Santa was so impressed by Hot Shot’s state-of-the-art tracker that he started using a system modeled after it. Hot Shot’s tracking system lets customers know exactly where their packages are at all times, and Santa figured he could make use of this himself.
3. Hot Shot and Santa both deliver joy during the holiday season! From presents, to treats and sweets, only Hot Shot and Santa can quickly deliver the goods spreading holiday cheer from door to door (or chimney to chimney).
4. With hundreds of staff and delivery drivers, Hot Shot is well-equipped with plenty of man power to ensure that everyone gets their holiday merriment. When Santa noticed how efficient Hot Shot’s staff was, he promptly hired elves and trained them to transport and process items, just like the Hot Shot team.
5. Hot Shot Delivery has a fleet of quick & reliable transportation to get packages delivered as quickly as possible. Santa knew he needed to be as quick as the Hot Shot Delivery team, so he invested in a sleigh and his reindeer. Although not as fancy as a Hot Shot Delivery vehicle, it would just have to do.
6. Everyone knows that Santa works 24/7 in order to make it all the way around the world at all the right times to get kids around the world their presents on time. Hot Shot has deliveries to make to kids, adults and well, everyone! So Hot Shot works around the clock, 24/7 to make sure every package is in the right hands on time, no matter how big or small.
7. Kris Kringle, Papa Noel, St. Nick…all very different names, but all associated to the one and only Santa Claus. Just like Hot Shot’s staff are known as many different things; courier, messenger, delivery driver…all have one purpose, and that’s to satisfy customers during this holiday season!
May this holiday season be filled with warmth, laughter and love. From our family to yours, happy holidays!

Delivering to Houston is Sweet as Pie!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family at Hot Shot Delivery to you and yours! As the Holiday Season fast approaches, we find ourselves rushing around, often times more so than usual. Here at our fine Houston Courier Service, rushing around is what we do for a living. Hot Shot Delivery does those pesky little errands so you don’t have to. When we’re not delivering life saving medical equipment or important legal documents, you might find one of our professional uniformed couriers delivering a lunch for an office party, or even picking up and delivering your newest outfit from your finest Galleria department store.
Some of our favorite Thanksgiving memories are a little more personal. At Hot Shot Delivery, Inc. we are truly a family. We have a lot of pride in what we do and we take care of who we work with, because they take care of our customers. The inspiration for this week’s blog came from the spirit of Thanksgiving and a note our Controller, Phil, sent me about “how thankful he is for the wonderful work and assistance that Rose and the Hot Shot Delivery customer service offer.” It was also sparked by our Office Manager, Amanda, recently recalling coming into our office when the air was full of the aroma of pumpkin pies. That brought me back to one of my favorite Thanksgiving memories.
In 2005, during my first Thanksgiving as President of Hot Shot Delivery, my wife and I had an idea to start a new tradition: to bake 175 homemade pumpkin pies the day before Thanksgiving for the Hot Shot Delivery family! That’s right, just the two of us, in our church’s kitchen, making 175 homemade pumpkin pies in one day.
Lots of flour, sugar, laughter, and well, nine hours later, we had 175 wonderful, individually boxed, homemade pumpkin pies. It was a nice treat for all of our staff, drivers and their families. My wife, being in the restaurant business, gave all of her staff pies as well. We had fun and were delighted to add some joy to the tables of those who do such a great job for us each and every day. However, I think we will leave the pie making up to those that are best at it from here on out.
From all of us at Hot Shot Delivery, thank you for your trust and support. As our friend, customer, or prospective customer, we sincerely appreciate you. Please remember that there are many that do not have anyone to share this holiday with, so open your heart, your home, or if you are able, your wallet. Or, simply give your smile or time. Also be sure to also thank a soldier, their family, and the first responders for keeping us all safe.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Hot Shot Delivery!
Gratefully,
Eric
To Houston and Beyond!

Shortly after Hot Shot Delivery began “Delivering Houston” in 1978, our founder was one of several courier owners from around the country who saw a need to bring the industry together to combine resources. In the early 1980’s, a group of men and women in the courier business began meeting in different cities around the country and referred to themselves as the “Small Package Delivery Forum”. This group eventually became the Messenger Courier Association of America (The MCAA) that we know today. For years, Hot Shot’s affiliations with other professional courier companies around the country have allowed our customers the ability to utilize us for a single point of contact for all of their national courier needs. I guess you could say, Hot Shot Delivery was a third-party logistics, or 3PL, before being 3PL was cool!
Today, Hot Shot has formed a logistics division, Hot Shot Logistics, Inc. to manage freight brokerage services in the truck load (TL) and less than truck load (LTL). We also manage ground transportation services, such as daily mail pick up and delivery, specialized home medical delivery, white glove delivery, and warehousing projects. While Hot Shot’s roots are seeded deeply in Houston, our branches reach far and wide, “Delivering to Houston and beyond”!
If you have offices in other cities and need deliveries or advice about anything transportation related, don’t hesitate to call us! Our single source billing options and transportation management and logistics consulting can save you time and reduce costs.
