An expedited load is freight that must move faster than standard shipping allows, usually because a production line, aircraft, jobsite, patient-critical supply chain, or customer deadline depends on it. Expedited loads are typically routed directly, monitored closely, and assigned to capacity such as team drivers, hot-shot equipment, straight trucks, or sole-use truckload service.
