Expedited Freight FAQs
What is the difference between ground expedite and standard LTL?
Ground expedite uses a dedicated vehicle for your shipment only — no co-loading, no terminal transfers, and no shared trailer space. Standard LTL consolidates multiple shipments on one trailer with scheduled stops at distribution hubs. Ground expedite delivers direct from pickup to delivery, cutting transit time by eliminating intermediate handling. Choose expedite when the shipment cannot afford the extra days LTL routing requires.
How quickly can you dispatch a driver?
Load One dispatches dedicated drivers within 90 minutes of booking confirmation for same-day service. Our 24/7/365 dispatch team coordinates immediate pickup windows based on your origin, destination, and shipment size. For next-day service, we schedule the earliest available slot and confirm pickup timing the evening before.
What areas do you cover for same-day delivery?
Same-day ground expedite covers the contiguous United States, with regional same-day delivery available within 150-400 miles depending on origin and destination. Load One also coordinates same-day cross-border shipments between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada through our Laredo facility. Longer distances use next-day or two-day expedite with team drivers for continuous transit.
Do you offer liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate-equipped vehicles are available for shipments where the pickup or delivery location lacks a loading dock. Straight trucks, sprinter vans, and select tractor-trailers in our fleet include liftgate capability. Request liftgate service when booking so we assign the right equipment for your dock constraints.
Can you handle HAZMAT expedite?
Yes, Load One is fully licensed for hazardous materials transport under all federal and state regulations. Our HAZMAT-compliant vehicles and STA-approved drivers handle Classes 1 through 9 hazardous materials for time-critical shipments. Notify our dispatch team of the HAZMAT classification and quantity when requesting a quote so we can confirm the appropriate equipment and routing.
What tracking technology do you use?
Load One provides AI-powered GPS tracking with real-time visibility through our mobile app and MyFreight customer portal. Every shipment receives automatic event notifications by email, satellite freight tracking for remote routes, and in-cab scanning for instant proof of delivery. Your dispatcher is available 24/7/365 for live updates.
How does pricing work for expedited freight?
Expedited freight pricing is based on distance, shipment weight and dimensions, equipment type, delivery timeline (same-day vs. next-day), and any special handling requirements such as liftgate service or HAZMAT compliance. Load One provides custom quotes tailored to each shipment specific needs. Contact our dispatch team with your origin, destination, and shipment details for a detailed rate.
