Other On Demand Priority Freight Options
When you ship with Expedited Freight you can expect that both you and your freight will receive only the best of care from start to finish, and every mile and minute in between. This begins the moment one of our knowledgeable Expedited Freight Agents picks up your call. From that moment on, he or she will remain dedicated to you and your shipment.
You will not have to re-explain yourself time after time each time you call for more questions or updates because, although all our agents are equally qualified, he or she will be the only one you will be speaking to when you call (800) 713-1000.
Since attention to detail is part of providing priority freight shipping, the agent will be making note of what you will be shipping, where, and when, as well as any deadlines you have to meet. Armed with this information, he or she will, as you speak already be considering what type of truck or plane will be needed to accommodate your cargo's weight and dimensions, as well as the quickest route it should travel in keeping with your time constraints.
As soon as you give the okay to the type of service she recommends, and the costs she estimates, she will be in contact with a driver appropriate for the job. Within hours of concluding your conversation, you can expect the driver and his truck to show up at your facility.
Over the course of more than a decade of providing dedicated shipping we have forged relationships with safe experienced drivers in every state in the country (including Alaska and Hawaii), as well as Canada and Mexico. All have been chosen for their exemplary driving records and driving skills.
So no matter where your facility is located or where you need a shipment to be delivered, we have a dedicated driver at our beck and call. And when we say dedicated, again we mean not only will the driver who picks up your priority freight remain with it from the point of pickup until the time it is delivered, but that his truck will be dedicated to your cargo and yours alone.
The truck will arrive empty, and he won't be picking up any other customers' goods besides yours. This insures the safety of your shipment plus it does away with any time-consuming intermediate stops to pick up and deliver other shippers' freight. And since time is of the essence, if your shipment involves a long distance, there will be a second driver so the two can spell each other, making for a continuous ride without a need for prolonged rest stops.
All this dedication adds up to a quality shipping solution for companies of all sizes, no matter where they're located or where their shipment is going. That's because over the years we have forged relationships with vetted and trained drivers all over the country, as well as Mexico and Canada and established connections with several freight airlines.
This means everyone we deal with knows our dedication to safe and speedy transportation. And best of all, no matter what time of day or night you discover you have an urgent need to get an order from here to there, no matter where there may be, one of our agents will answer your call. And that's 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
From time to time, an order will come in from a customer who needs an order delivered overnight but whose location is beyond the capacity of a ground transport to get it there in that time. At other times perhaps it's a plant manager who needs a piece of replacement equipment to keep the production line moving, and he needs it today. In both these cases, your customer agent will suggest air freight.
And because we have selected airlines whom we regularly use in such situations, she will call to check on availability on one of their scheduled flights to an airport close to your customer's facility. And if one is available, she will get a cost estimate. Once she has apprised you of the cost and you've given her your ok she will arrange for one of our trucks to come pick up the shipment, transport it to the airport and see to it that it gets to the right airline. But that's only half of it. She will also arrange for another one of our dedicated truckers to be waiting at the destination airport to receive it and deliver it to the party awaiting it at its destination.
If it seems to you that Expedited Freight Customer agents always have another plan lined up it's because they do. Years of experience have a way of providing them with a lot of options. So if our agent cannot find a place on a scheduled freight flight, or the airport involved is a remote one which few airlines serve, Expedited Freight also has connections to charter airlines, any which she can call to arrange for a plane to deliver your shipment.
And just as we only provide dedicated trucks, any charter plane we provide will have but one payload aboard — your shipment. If the cost involved meets your approval, she will arrange for a driver and truck to pick it up, deliver it to the airline's terminal and likewise have a truck and driver to pick it up upon arrival at the home base airport, take it on the final leg of its journey.
