Common Questions about Expediting Freight
How Fast is Expedite Shipping?
By definition, expedite means making a process happen faster than normal. But what does “faster than normal” mean in transportation? For ArcBest customers, it means we’ll deliver shipments as fast as we can drive them — even if that’s by using two drivers who trade off so the freight never stops moving.
