Time-critical freight moving direct from pickup to delivery, on dedicated equipment, across the United States and Canada.
Expedited freight is time-critical shipping dispatched on dedicated equipment that runs straight from pickup to delivery with no other stops and no transfers. Where standard freight is scheduled around a carrier's network, an expedited load is built around your deadline.
It is usually the right call when the cost of the freight arriving late is higher than the cost of moving it fast. A production line waiting on a part, materials due on site for an install, or an order that has to be on a customer's dock tomorrow.
LT2 arranges expedited capacity across the United States and Canada, from a single pallet in a sprinter van up to a full truckload, including hazmat shipments where the freight is regulated and the qualified carrier pool is smaller.
Operating authority, insurance, and safety history, monitored on an ongoing basis rather than checked once. Carriers who do not meet the standard do not get the load.

Tell us what is moving and when it has to arrive, and we will match the right equipment.
Direct, dedicated capacity for small, time-critical loads. Typically one to four pallets, moving from pickup to delivery with no stops in between.
Mid-size dedicated capacity for loads too big for a sprinter van and too urgent to move as partial freight. Typically up to 12 pallets.
Open-deck capacity for loads that do not need a full size flatbed but need to move faster than partial freight.
Full truckload capacity on an expedited run. The same 53 foot van space as standard freight, routed and tracked as an expedited load. Expedited tractor-trailers are harder to source than smaller equipment, so give us as much notice as you can.
| Vehicle | Pallets | Max weight | Loading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter Van | 1 to 4 | Around 3,500 lb | Ground level, no dock needed |
| Box Truck | 6 to 14 | Around 10,000 lb | Dock height, liftgate available |
| Hot Shot Flatbed | Open deck, up to 40 ft | Around 16,500 lb | Forklift or crane, both ends |
| Expedited Tractor-Trailer | 26 to 30 | Around 45,000 lb | Dock height |
Capacity varies by configuration. Send us the dimensions and weight and we will confirm the right equipment.
When you call, a person answers — no auto-attendant, no phone tree, no ticket number.
When an expedited load doesn't arrive, we're shutting down an active job site and putting a customer relationship at risk. LT2 has been reliable and available, day in and day out.
Two drivers, one truck, no overnight stop. Teams roughly double daily miles — the question is whether the days you save are worth what they cost.

Hot shots move urgent freight on an open deck when a van is too small and a full flatbed is too much. Let us review what works best on hot shots.
