What is expedited freight?
Expedited freight is a shipment sent direct on a dedicated truck, with no other stops, because it has to arrive sooner than a standard load. Team drivers, sprinter vans and box trucks are the usual equipment.
How fast can a truck get to my dock?
Often within a few hours in the Bay Area. Call dispatch and you will get a firm time on the phone.
Is a team always faster?
On runs over about 600 miles, yes, because the truck does not stop for the driver’s rest.
Can you run at night and on weekends?
Yes. Dispatch answers around the clock.
Can the driver wait while we finish loading?
Yes. Waiting time is quoted up front.
What if the receiver is closed on arrival?
We set the delivery window before pickup and call ahead so the dock is open when the truck arrives.
