HOT SHOTS
Sprinter Van
Perfect for time sensitive urgent small-to-medium shipments. Enclosed space, direct point-to-point deliveries, and quick response time. Ideal for medical equipment, high value items, and any urgent freight that is not able to wait for traditional scheduling.
Cargo Van
Most appropriate for small or moderate amounts of freight that demand exclusive handling, without the expense of larger equipment. Cargo vans also offer a good balance of speed and efficiency, making them suited for sensitive packages, boxed items, and particular materials that require exclusive and low-volume transportation.
Straight Truck 15' and 24'
Intended purpose is for larger or palletized cargo that still needs hotshot priority. Commercial freight, oversized items, or shipments needing careful handling with rapid, direct delivery, with increased capacity and liftgate options.
FREIGHT TRANSPORT
Truck Load
Used for freight that fills most or all of a trailer or needs a direct, uninterrupted route. Ideal for palletized, high-volume, or time-sensitive shipments that benefit from minimal handling and predictable transit times.
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload)
Best for smaller palletized shipments that don’t require a full trailer. Freight is consolidated with other loads, making it a cost-efficient option for routine, flexible deliveries.
Intermodel
Moves freight using a combination of truck and rail. Ideal for containerized, long-distance shipments that prioritize cost savings, fuel efficiency, and steady transit schedules.
