Choosing transportation
What is LTL shipping?
Less-than-truckload shipping uses shared capacity for freight that does not need an entire vehicle. Cargo, packaging, route and timing determine suitability. Read more →
What is hotshot trucking?
Hotshot combines urgent freight with dedicated transportation. Provide exact locations, cargo readiness, dimensions, weight and the operational deadline. Read more →
How quickly can a hotshot be dispatched?
Dispatch can be immediate after payment, subject to the accepted requirement and available equipment. Pickup time depends on the location and operating conditions. Confirm timing directly; there is no universal 15-minute pickup guarantee.
How is dedicated transportation different from hotshot?
Dedicated transport reserves capacity or a route for your requirement and may be planned. Hotshot adds urgency to the dedicated movement.
When is courier the right option?
Courier suits qualifying smaller commercial items and delivery requirements. Larger palletized freight may fit LTL, while an urgent dedicated load may fit hotshot. Read more →
What equipment is available?
Options include 5-ton straight trucks, dry vans, flat decks and hotshot equipment. Dispatch matches the equipment to cargo dimensions, weight, loading method and route. Read more →
