Expedited freight has one rule: it didn't have a plan. A press goes down and the spare is in another time zone. A container missed the cut. A tradeshow truck breaks an axle the night before move-in. JBH dispatch fields these every week.
Team drivers cover ground around the clock — Atlanta to Los Angeles in 36 hours legal. Single-driver expedited inside a region for tighter windows. Where a sprinter van is fast enough and a tractor-trailer is overkill, we have those too. Pricing reflects what you'd expect — but the alternative is usually worse than the bill.
Honest expectation: not every emergency can be fixed by paying for expedited. If your origin is already 24 hours from your destination by clock time, no carrier can put it there in 12. We'll tell you when expedited won't make the gap and what the realistic clock looks like.
