We’ve Got the Solution for your Urgent Shipment
Our goal is to give you value that exceeds the price of our shipping, providing you a benefit that keeps you productive and profitable for years to come.
Overnight Freight Customized Solutions
But they don't do it alone. They have state-of-the-art management systems and logistics technologies at their fingertips, a network of truck drivers across the country North America including Canada, and connections to airlines that provide both scheduled freight flights and charter services.
This unparalleled level of connectedness is why if we say yes, we can get your freight to your customer's receiving area tomorrow, we don't have to cross our fingers. We know it for a fact.
No matter what size your overnight freight happens to be, we can customize a solution to get it there overnight.
Overnight Freight on the Ground
If the distance is feasible for an overnight freight shipment to get there by ground, our overnight freight customer care agent will dispatch a vehicle which best fits your shipment's dimensions and weight, and you can expect a driver from our network of trained drivers to show up at your loading dock within a few hours. In the case of longer distances, you can expect two drivers to allow them to spell each other, doing away with the need for rest stops. Your freight will be their solo cargo, minimizing the possibility of loss or damage, and eliminating time-consuming stops to take on other freight.
Advanced Logistics
At this point, our advanced logistics technology joins the mix, connecting both our truckers and agents to the latest in satellite tracking, allowing them to detect any road work crews, accidents, or traffic jams in real time, so they can proactively alter their course in time to avoid them. And since the agent who initially took your call is your dedicated agent, not only seeing that your overnight freight gets there overnight, but being there for you until it reaches its destination, he or she will keep you clued in to any route changes.
Overnight Freight by Air
When the distance is too far for freight to reach its destination overnight, your dedicated agent will go over your air options with you.
- Scheduled Air Service: Your agent will first locate a carrier with a scheduled flight to an airport near your destination, then arrange for ground transport to get it to the airport, and when it arrives, schedule another truck to pick it up and deliver it to your client's facility. In many cases, the carrier is FedEx.
- Air Charter: This is a more costly option, but it means your shipment will be the only one on the aircraft. If you agree to this level of overnight freight, your agent will charter a plane, and arrange for it to travel from the airport closest to your locale to the airport closest to your designation. He will also arrange for ground transportation at either end of the journey.
Dedicated Single Point of Contact
Our client support team is available on a centralized line to take your order without hesitation. Once you’ve placed the order, you can call the same line for updates on the location of the truck and remaining time before delivery. You’re free to play a hands-on role by calling our SPOC.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is overnight freight and how does it differ from standard shipping?
Overnight freight is a time-critical shipping solution that moves cargo from origin to destination by the next business day. Unlike standard ground shipping, which may take several days in transit, overnight freight prioritizes speed through dedicated vehicles, direct routing, and around-the-clock dispatch coordination. At expeditedfreight.com, every overnight shipment is treated as a priority move with a single point of contact managing every detail from pickup to delivery.
What types of shipments are best suited for overnight freight service?
Overnight freight works best for shipments where a delay carries serious operational or financial consequences. This includes critical manufacturing components, medical equipment, time-sensitive retail inventory, emergency replacement parts, and perishable goods. If missing a deadline means a production line stops, a facility goes dark, or a customer relationship is at risk, overnight freight is the appropriate solution rather than a gamble on standard transit windows.
Does expeditedfreight.com offer overnight freight service across the entire United States?
Yes. Our overnight freight coverage spans the continental United States, with dispatch teams available around the clock to coordinate pickups and deliveries in virtually any market. Whether your shipment originates in a major metro area or a rural location, we work to secure the right dedicated vehicle and routing to meet your overnight delivery requirement without unnecessary stops or transfers along the way.
How quickly can expeditedfreight.com arrange an overnight freight pickup?
Our 24/7 dispatch team is ready to act the moment you call or submit a shipment request. In many situations, a dedicated vehicle can be en route to your pickup location within hours of booking. Because we operate around the clock and maintain nationwide carrier relationships, we can respond to overnight freight requests at any hour, including evenings, weekends, and holidays when other providers may be unreachable.
How does real-time tracking work for an overnight freight shipment?
Once your overnight freight shipment is booked and in motion, you receive visibility into its progress through real-time tracking updates. Your dedicated point of contact monitors the load throughout transit and proactively communicates any status changes. Rather than relying on self-service portals alone, our team is reachable at any point during the move to provide a direct update on exactly where your shipment is and when it is expected to arrive.
What makes expedited freight different from standard less-than-truckload or truckload shipping?
Expedited freight is defined by urgency and dedication. Where standard LTL and truckload shipments share capacity, make multiple stops, and follow fixed lane schedules, expedited freight dedicates a vehicle exclusively to your load. The result is direct, uninterrupted transit with no terminal handling delays. This model is designed for shippers who cannot absorb the variability that comes with conventional freight networks.
Does expeditedfreight.com provide a single point of contact for each shipment?
Yes. Every shipment handled through expeditedfreight.com is assigned a dedicated point of contact who manages the move from booking through delivery. This means you are never passed between departments or left to track down updates from multiple parties. One person knows your shipment, your requirements, and your deadline, and that person is accountable for keeping you informed throughout the entire transit.
What vehicle types are available for expedited freight shipments?
Our carrier network includes a range of dedicated vehicle options scaled to match the size and nature of your freight. From cargo vans and sprinter vans for smaller time-sensitive loads to straight trucks and full tractor-trailers for larger or heavier shipments, we work to match the right equipment to your cargo. Vehicle selection is based on your freight dimensions, weight, and any specialized handling requirements you communicate at booking.
Is expeditedfreight.com available to handle urgent shipments outside of normal business hours?
Absolutely. Our dispatch and customer service operations run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including nights, weekends, and major holidays. Freight emergencies do not follow a business calendar, and neither do we. Whether you need to arrange a critical move at midnight on a Saturday or first thing on a holiday morning, our team is staffed and ready to respond and get your shipment moving without delay.
How do I get a quote or book a shipment with expeditedfreight.com?
Getting started is straightforward. You can reach our team by phone or through our website at any time, day or night. When you contact us, have your shipment origin and destination, commodity details, dimensions, and weight ready so we can respond quickly with the right solution. From there, your dedicated point of contact takes ownership of the booking and keeps you informed at every stage until your freight is delivered.
