Why Choose Expedited Freight Services ?
Expedited Freight Services are to the logistics industry what an ambulance is to the health system, you didn’t know it was going to be needed yesterday but thank goodness it’s available today.When are Expedited Freight Services required?
The arena of logistics compromises a vast number of choices, competitors, modes of transport and methods of delivery and timing. The economy is powered by goods, supplies and equipment and logistics acts as the arteries that allow freight to flow to where it needs to be. Freight is transported by rail, road, or by air, and freight is moved locally, regionally nationally, and internationally. Freight can be a small 15 pound box of washers or a complex piece of machinery that weighs thousands of pounds. Urgent freight comes in all shapes and sizes.
Some freight isn’t required until the end of next week but sometimes the supply chain has broken down and the freight was required before we even woke up this morning. It’s the latter circumstance where expedited freight services are the answer. We are equipped and ready to immediately assess your shipping situation, the goals you have in mind, and the options that we can bring to the table. Within minutes we can provide you with firm and reliable shipping times and a confirmed price for your shipment.
Being tasked with an emergency shipment isn’t an everyday occurrence which is why at times like this you need much more than an ordinary logistics partner to work with.
Expedited Freight Services are the efficient option
Every aspect of expedited freight target efficiency and the ability to provide solutions that save time. In situations where a contract depends on delivery, or an outage means money is being lost every moment, every choice and action that a quality expedited freight management company makes should save precious minutes. Every minute saved is key for time-critical freight and our services save hours and often days versus conventional freight shipping. Ultimately our experience means that we can furnish you with all shipping solutions so you can reach deadlines and make an informed decision for your company.
Expedited Shipping is moving your freight first class
There is no more efficient way to transport freight that choosing expedited services. In normal daily practice, LTL freight takes lower priority than an expedited shipment. By choosing expedited services your freight truly receives first-class treatment. We accomplish this through a number of built-in advantages:
- Dedicated Freight – All of our expedited shipments are via exclusive use vans or trucks matched to the size of your freight. Nothing else is shipped with your freight and the vehicle drives direct point to point providing the fastest transit available, plus eliminating cross-docking or storage which save you valuable hours and reduces risk of damage. Our drivers all understand the urgency of shipments and deadlines are to be met.
- Local Resources for Nationwide Coverage – Our carrier network is comprised entirely of expedited freight drivers with vehicles set on standby in every part of the country. This network allows us to deploy drivers almost immediately and they are dispatched to your pickup location following a pre-trip inspection. In the vast majority of cases, we can be loading your freight within 90-120 minutes or on-demand per your schedule at any time of day or night.
- Real-Time Freight Management – Once your freight is loaded we then monitor throughout ensuring that the freight is on schedule to arrive on time and as promised. In the unlikely event of vehicle breakdown, we can recover your freight with a replacement service rapidly, our biggest challenge can, of course, be the weather but when anticipated we also factor that into the transit time expectations that we set with you. Crucially for you, your company or your customer we keep you informed throughout providing freight management that allows you to plan accordingly.
Expedited Shipping Works for All Businesses
Any size or type of business can benefit from expedited freight services and with very few exceptions. As all of our vehicles are exclusive use, the van or truck can carry a single small box of parts or be loaded to capacity, whatever you choose to do. Please note that we do not offer any temperature-controlled vehicles, nor do we ship vehicles or tow heavy machinery.
We also offer a range of air charter and air freight services, these are ideal solutions when the constraints of a deadline or distances involved mean that ground freight can’t physically achieve your objectives.
What do we need to know? To help you immediately and we require some basic information:
- The exact dimensions of all of your freight
- The exact weight of your freight
- The commodity we are shipping
- Full pickup and delivery addresses along with your ideal delivery times
With this information we can then review all available assets on the ground within the radius of the freight pickup and also contrast air options where applicable and provide you with an immediate price and transit time to review.
