expedited freight?

[ertikine]

hi,
I have been doing a research mainly about LTL carriers. in alotof sources,I have seen 'EXPEDITED FREIGHT'. what actually does it mean? Is it same as high-service products? and How can I find information about freight forwarder companies carrying Expedited Freight?

Welcome to Expediters Online! With that said, i'm now going to direct you over to TruckNet.com -- ;-) -- because they might be better able to answer your freight forwarding company question! You could also try a search engine, but i haven't had much luck with the searches i've tried with NorthernLight, Yahoo, etc. -- too many results, none of which has anything to do with what i'm searching for!

i'm hazarding a guess here, but i think if it's called Expedited Freight, it IS Expedited Freight, with the same 'high service products.' LTL usually describes freight that is not time sensitive, nor does it pay a full truck load rate (which is well below expedited freight rates).

Hope this helps!
