What to Expect

What you get when you choose Core Fabrication for your hot shot build

Our process maximizes uptime while delivering builds that keep your payloads secure and your truck compliant. That makes it easier for you to keep your business moving.

CONSULTATION & PLANNING

We review your truck specs, load requirements and common routes to engineer a deck that balances payload capacity with legal axle weights.

CUSTOM DESIGN APPROVAL

Our drafting team models the deck layout, tie down points and tool storage solutions, then finalizes the design with your approval.

FABRICATION & FINISHING

We fabricate using heavy duty materials, add reinforced tie downs and stake pockets where necessary. Then we finish with coatings to protect against road wear and weather.

CERTIFIED DELIVERY

Your truck is weighed, CMVSS certified and delivered ready for work so you can get back on the road faster.

If you have any questions or need help, feel free to contact our team, or you can call us any time (403) 998-5169
