What is Expedited Shipping?

Expedited shipping is a logistics mode to rapidly deliver freight. Using team drivers, specialized lanes, and priority handling, carriers ship expedited freight to its end user within 1 to 3 days.

Expedited shipping is typically more expensive than standard shipping as it commonly uses truck, rail, and air to move high-consequence or time-sensitive freight. Read our Freight Resources blog to learn when to use expedited shipping.
