EXPEDITED FREIGHT SERVICES
Ship Your Freight Faster With Expedited Transportation
Expedited Freight Delivery Services
When your freight requires speedy delivery, uShip can make it happen. Whether you are shipping a crate across the country or a pallet to a nearby customer, we can help get your freight shipment to its final destination in a hurry by setting you up with a professional expedited freight carrier.
WHAT IS EXPEDITED FREIGHT?
Expedited shipping services are a way to transport freight much faster than traditional shipping methods.
The most common way for freight to reach its destination is by air freight. Your package will be picked up and delivered by truck, but it travels most of the distance by plane via air cargo. You can book airfreight through an air freight carrier, a freight broker, or online.
If possible, expedited freight can be driven in a cargo van or individual pickup truck. Of course, your shipment must cross a drivable distance within your timeframe, so sending freight this way only makes sense for short distances.
The problem with sending expedited freight by air charter or road is that it’s expensive. You will pay a higher premium for time-sensitive shipping; therefore, it is crucial to avoid using this service unless absolutely necessary. If you find yourself requiring the service, uShip can help get you great deals.
