Picked up Tuesday.
On the dock Wednesday.

Because we put two drivers in the truck. A driver may legally drive eleven hours and then must stop for ten — so one person cannot cover a thousand miles in a night, no matter how motivated they are. With two, one drives while the other rests in a sleeper berth and the truck keeps moving. It is the only lawful way to do it, and it is why we cost more per mile and save you a delivery appointment.

About 8,340 lb. Our trucks are rated at 26,000 lb gross weight on purpose — one pound more and the drivers would need commercial licenses, which shrinks the hiring pool and raises every cost. A spec sheet for a truck this size will quote you nearer 9,800 lb, and that figure is real for an empty truck: subtract the sleeper berth, the pallet jack, a full tank and two drivers and this is what is genuinely left for freight. We quote the smaller number because it is the one the scale agrees with. If your load is heavier we will say so at quote stage and tell you it needs a tractor-trailer.

No — it is the reason we exist. Every truck carries a tuck-under liftgate and a 5,500 lb pallet jack. The gate lowers the pallet to the ground and the jack rolls it off the truck. Most 53-foot carriers simply cannot serve a delivery without a dock, so it is often the freight nobody else wants.

Yes. GPS and an electronic logging device are on every unit, and the tracking reference is issued with the rate confirmation rather than after you chase us for it. Live position is available on request — we do not publish a truck's exact location on an open page, for the driver's safety and your freight's.

We go where we can also get paid to leave, and we will tell you honestly at quote stage. Some regions take in far more freight than they ship out, so a truck that goes deep into one often cannot cover its way back out. A carrier who quotes you cheerfully and then cannot cover the return leg has given you a number that was never real. Ask us and you will get a straight answer the same day.

$1,000,000 automobile liability and $100,000 cargo, with workers' compensation on every driver. The certificate goes out on request. If your freight is worth more than the cargo limit, declare it before collection so cover can be arranged and priced — an undeclared high-value shipment is only covered to the limit.

No. We are not placarded and our drivers hold no hazmat endorsement. Placarded freight is outside what this operating authority covers, and we would rather turn it down than take it wrongly.

Photographs at every stage — the load before the doors close, the securement, the freight on your receiver's dock, and the signed proof of delivery, all timestamped. Most cargo disputes come down to what condition the freight was in and when, and we have that on file rather than in somebody's memory. Written claims within nine months of delivery, under the Carmack Amendment.

Net 30 from invoice for approved credit accounts, with the signed proof of delivery attached to the invoice. New accounts start prepaid or COD until credit is established — which we would rather say plainly than discover awkwardly later.
