Expedited transport is a freight service designed for shipments with urgent, fixed, or narrow delivery windows. Instead of moving through normal terminal networks or scheduled stops, freight is assigned priority capacity and routed as directly as possible. Common options include team-driver trucks, sole-use vehicles, hot-shot equipment, and coordinated air-freight handoffs, supported by active tracking and dispatch oversight.
