Expedited Freight
Services We Offer
Sprinter Vans: Sprinter vans are a popular choice for expedited freight, especially for smaller, time-sensitive deliveries within urban areas. These vans are highly maneuverable and can easily navigate through city traffic, making them ideal for quick deliveries. Their compact size allows for faster loading and unloading, reducing downtime and ensuring rapid transit.
Cargo Vans: Larger than sprinter vans, cargo vans offer increased capacity without the need for a full-sized truck. They are perfect for transporting medium-sized loads that require quick delivery. Cargo vans are often used for expedited services because they provide a good balance between space and speed, enabling them to handle a variety of shipments efficiently.
Straight Trucks: Also known as box trucks, straight trucks are used for larger shipments that need expedited delivery. They can accommodate a significant amount of freight while still being quicker and more nimble than semi-trucks. Straight trucks often come equipped with lift gates, which facilitate the easy loading and unloading of heavy items, crucial for expedited deliveries.
Refrigerated Trucks: For expedited shipments that require temperature control, such as pharmaceuticals or perishable goods, refrigerated trucks are essential. These vehicles are equipped with cooling systems that maintain a constant temperature, ensuring that sensitive goods arrive in perfect condition, regardless of outside weather conditions.
Expedited Truckload: Expedited truckload services are designed for larger shipments that require fast, direct delivery without the typical freight transfers found in less urgent shipping. Using dedicated trucks, these services prioritize your cargo, moving it directly from the pickup point to the destination to meet strict deadlines. This option is perfect for high-stakes or high-value shipments that must arrive by a specific time.
Air Freight Service: When speed is the ultimate priority, air freight service offers the fastest transportation method for long-distance shipments. This service is typically used for highly time-sensitive or high-value goods. It involves transporting cargo via aircraft, significantly reducing transit times compared to ground transportation, and is crucial for global logistics where time constraints are critical.
