Expedited freight solves urgent shipping problems. Learn how it works, what it costs and how it differs from express trucking.
Expedited freight is urgent, time-critical shipping using an exclusive-use truck that leaves as soon as it is loaded and drives directly to the destination.
Common reasons to expedite
- A machine part is needed to restart a production line.
- A delivery failed and must be recovered.
- A retailer is out of stock before a promotion.
- Materials are needed on a job site tomorrow.
How it works
Dispatch finds the nearest available truck, confirms pickup and delivery times, and the driver — or a team of drivers for long distances — runs direct with frequent updates.

Expedited is reactive: an unplanned emergency. Express trucking is planned: a scheduled, time-definite fast delivery. Planning ahead with express service is usually less expensive than an emergency move.
