FAQ
What is expedited freight?
Expedited freight is time-critical cargo that needs faster-than-standard delivery, often booked directly with brokers or shippers rather than through gig apps.
Do I need a CDL to run expedited sprinter van freight?
No — sprinter and cargo van expedited work typically falls under standard non-CDL weight limits.
How is expedited freight different from local courier work?
Expedited freight pays more per load due to tight time windows and often involves longer distances than local courier routes.
