In today’s economy, customers and clients are expecting quicker deliveries than ever before. You can meet those expectations and customer demand with expedited freight. Keep reading to learn about expedited freight and how it can help your business.
What is expedited freight?
The term expedited freight may sound self-explanatory, but it goes beyond just getting your package delivered faster than it would be with standard shipping. The best way to explain it is that rather than making multiple stops along the way where your package may be handed off to another route, expedited freight trucks make limited stops. This helps to eliminate times where packages may be sitting around waiting for the next leg of their journey, thereby simplifying the shipping process to facilitate a timely delivery.
Who can benefit from using expedited freight?
Anyone can benefit from using expedited freight. It is an important resource to utilize for you and your clients. Large businesses, like factories and big box retail stores, use it to transfer inventory quickly. Small businesses can also use it to receive and ship products to meet customer demand. Frequently, medical supply providers use expedited shipping to rapidly deliver life-saving medical supplies. There are very few, if any limitations on the size of shipments that can be sent using expedited freight.
Is it worth the cost?
Expedited freight does cost more than standard shipping, but if you have a strict deadline then it is well worth the cost. The added cost has more advantages, beyond quicker delivery, that justify the increased cost such as real-time delivery updates, less handling of your package, and additional security of goods.
