Dependability is a must in Expediting

Expediting, the 911 of the trucking industry.

Expediting is a small niche within trucking, but we are an integral part. 

Problem solvers

No dock – No problem for an expediter

Hurry up and wait

We are often seen at a customer waiting for them to finish making a product that has to be delivered ASAP.

Tracking

The customer has the ability to track their shipment as it traverses across the country

Temperature Tracking

Within the refrigerated trucks, the customer can see the temperature readings from all points of the cargo box at any time

Size

Our smaller size, box truck or van, is part of our strength as we can get into very tight areas to pick up our freight and deliver to a much friendly area.

Teams

Much of our specialized freight needs a team for constant surveillance, our freight does not get transferred, once on a truck it stays on that truck till delivery. 

911

We are ready to move at a moment’s notice on the customers time frame, not the trucking companies time frame.

Night Driving

Many of our loads pick up in the afternoon and deliver straight through to the delivery.  When the customer comes to work they have a truck sitting there with their desperately needed product.  Less traffic at night for us.

With all of the above being said we need a truck that is dependable as a break down on our part can shut down a customer’s plant, can put us at risk with the type of freight we haul, could put the public at risk, and the list goes on.  Some of the freight we carry cannot go inside a building, in the winter time the last thing a mechanic wants to do is work outside in below zero temperatures.  If the worst case happens and we have to transfer our freight this usually means have an officer of the law witness the cutting of the seal, the moving of the freight, and then witnessing a seal being put on. 

Our Freightliner's over the past thirteen years have kept us rolling down the road and keeping our customers thrilled knowing that their freight is on a reliable vehicle.  With any type of vehicle, things can and will go wrong but the Freightliner has a fantastic dependability record.
