Speed Without
Sacrifice.

Our expedited service is built for the moments when normal transit times simply won’t do. As the fastest of our four freight transportation services, our expedited service puts priority dispatch, direct routing and — when the clock demands it — team drivers and owner-operators on your freight. Whether you’re facing a production shutdown, a missed shipment, or a time-critical delivery, our expedited service deploys the fastest available resources without cutting corners on safety or reliability.

Sealed 53' Trailers Across All 48 States

US Cargo Enterprise provides dry van shipping across all 48 contiguous states. Freight moves in fully enclosed,
sealed 53-foot trailers with GPS tracking and chain-of-custody documentation — protecting retail merchandise, packaged foods, manufactured goods and e-commerce freight from weather, damage and theft, backed by the same dispatch and driver standards as our refrigerated fleet. Through our expedited service, we prioritize your shipments to prevent disruptions.

What Is Expedited Freight?

Expedited freight is truckload shipping that skips the standard scheduling queue. Instead of waiting for the next available slot, a truck is dispatched immediately and drives point-to-point — no relay stops, no freight transfers, no terminal dwell. Shippers use it when a production shutdown, a missed shipment window or a contractual deadline makes normal transit time unacceptable, and the cost of waiting far exceeds the cost of the truck. Utilizing our expedited service allows for quicker delivery options and peace of mind.

A Dry Van Trucking Company With Reefer-Grade Standards

Under federal hours-of-service rules a solo driver covers roughly 500–600 miles a day. A team keeps the truck moving while one driver rests — about 1,000 or more miles a day, which puts coast-to-coast delivery at roughly two and a half days, non-stop

How Reefer Shipping Works With US Cargo

1
Call the Hotline

(224) 231-6002 is answered 24/7. Tell dispatch the commodity, lane and deadline — you get a realistic pickup window before you commit, not after.

2
Truck Assigned & Rolling

Dispatch locates the nearest available unit — dry van or reefer — and confirms same-day pickup where the clock requires it.

3
Non-Stop Transit

Direct point-to-point routing with real-time tracking and proactive updates; team drivers keep the truck moving around the clock on long runs.

4
Direct Delivery

Your receiver signs, and you get proof of delivery with the full timeline documented — pickup, transit and arrival.

Solo Driver or Team? A 30-Second Answer

A solo driver fits if…

…the deadline allows roughly 500–600 miles per day. Same priority dispatch and direct routing, one driver, lower cost — right for regional emergencies and next-day lanes.

Book a team if…

…the freight must cross the country without stopping. Two drivers alternate driving and rest, covering 1,000+ miles a day — coast to coast in about 2.5 days with the truck never parked overnight.

Expedited rates run above standard truckload on the same lane — you’re paying for immediate dispatch, direct routing and, on team runs, a second driver. Against a stopped production line or a missed launch, it’s usually the cheaper option. If the load is temperature-sensitive, refrigerated transport runs expedited too.
