EXP — Expedited Freight
When the deadline is the whole job.
Expedited service is for freight that has to be somewhere by a specific time: a line-down part, a missed shipment that needs recovering, a delivery window that cannot move.
What it is
Urgent freight leaves no room for vague answers. The first thing we do with an expedited request is establish whether the deadline is achievable, and say so plainly either way.
If it is, the shipment is planned around the delivery time rather than around a standard route: the most direct option available, the fewest touches, and updates at the points that matter.
If it is not achievable, you will hear that immediately, along with the closest alternative we can offer — so you can make decisions with real information.
Usually the right call for
- Production or job-site stoppages waiting on a part
- Recovering a shipment that missed its original schedule
- Hard delivery appointments and penalty windows
- Same-day and next-day requirements

How fast can an expedited shipment move?
It depends on distance, when the freight is ready and what is available at that moment. Send the details and we will give you a realistic answer, not a hopeful one.
What is the fastest way to get an expedited quote?
Contact us directly as well as submitting the form, and have the deadline, ready time, addresses, weight and dimensions to hand.
Does expedited cost more?
Yes. You are paying for priority and a direct move. We will show you the standard option alongside it where one exists, so you can weigh the cost against the deadline.
What if the deadline cannot be met?
We will tell you before you commit, and offer the nearest achievable alternative.
