Hotshot?

The hotshot DAB links to here, and the Trucking industry in the United States article's description of "HotShot" sounds like its related to this topic.

Short description

@Voidxor regarding your revert see WP:SDESC which says "A short description is not a definition" but rather "a very brief indication of the field covered by the article".

@Rublov: Thank you for the explanation. I think it's best practice to state your reason for making a change in your edit summary. My main concern—as I stated in my edit summary—is that everything here is a "term", so that's a waste of 4 or 5 characters in my opinion. Even so, I think I can find a good middle ground between the 85 characters that were there, and the 22 characters that you had. Give me a minute. — voidxor 18:57, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How about "An amount of freight in shipping"? — voidxor 19:00, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good to me. rblv (talk) 23:25, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks. — voidxor 13:13, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
