Services

Six services, and we will tell you which one your freight needs.

Including when the answer is the cheaper one. Under about eight pallets, LTL usually beats truckload, and we would rather say that than sell you a trailer you do not need.

Services with equipment and typical lead time
Service	What it is	Equipment	Lead time
Regional truckload	Full trailers moving between the five states we cover. One driver, one trailer, no cross-docking, no transfer risk.	53 ft dry van	24 – 48 hours
LTL coordination	Partial loads consolidated with our carrier partners. Slower and cheaper than truckload; we tell you which one your freight actually needs.	Partner network	48 – 72 hours
Dedicated routes	A recurring lane with the same equipment and, where we can, the same driver. Priced monthly rather than per load.	Assigned	Contracted
Expedited freight	When a line is down and the part has to move now. We will quote it honestly, including when driving it yourself would be faster.	Straight truck or sprinter	Same day where distance allows
Warehouse transfers	Moving inventory between your own facilities, including overnight runs that land before a shift starts.	53 ft dry van	24 – 48 hours
Recurring business lanes	Standing weekly volume at a rate held for the contract term, with capacity reserved rather than re-bid every week.	Assigned	Contracted

The five things on every quote.

Distance and lane balance: A loaded run into a region we struggle to load out of costs more than the mileage suggests. Grand Rapids to Chicago prices better than the reverse for exactly this reason.
Weight and pallet count: Under about eight pallets, LTL is usually cheaper. Over twelve, truckload usually wins. Between the two, we will run both numbers for you.
Appointment windows: A two-hour receiving window at the destination costs more than a same-day window, because it puts the driver's hours at risk.
Seasonality: Late Q4 and the weeks around produce season tighten capacity across the Midwest. We will tell you when you are quoting into a tight week.
Accessorials: Liftgate, inside delivery, residential, detention beyond two hours. These appear on our quotes up front rather than on your invoice afterwards.
