When Downtime Isn’t an Option

We understand that for manufacturers, warehouses, and industrial businesses, a delay isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a hit to your bottom line. When a line stops, a site is waiting on a part, or your supply chain hits a snag, you need more than a standard delivery—you need a courier that moves as fast as you do.

Specialized for Your Industry’s Demands

• Hotshot Deliveries: A “hotshot” is an urgent, direct, point-to-point delivery for a critical item. When a machine part fails and your production line is down, we provide the immediate, dedicated transport to get the replacement part to you as quickly as humanly possible. Examples include: replacement machine parts, calibration tools, or specialized components needed to keep operations running.

• Logistics & LTL Rescue: Sometimes your regular freight carrier misses a pickup or delivery. “LTL” (Less-Than-Truckload) is common for larger shipments. We can rescue the urgent portions of a delayed shipment that fit within our cargo vans, ensuring you meet your deadline. Typically this means pulling one or two key pallets or crates off a larger shipment so your operation doesn’t miss a production window.

• Last-Mile Delivery Support: The “last mile” is the final, crucial step from a distribution center to the end customer. We partner with e-commerce warehouses and 3PLs (Third-Party Logistics providers) to handle overflow, rush, or specialized last-mile deliveries that your regular service can’t. Whether B2B or B2C, we step in when timing, security, or handling requirements demand extra precision.

• Inter-Facility & Job Site Transfers: Need to move critical tools, inventory, or documents between your warehouses, job sites, or local facilities quickly? We provide the on-demand vehicle and driver to get it done without pulling from your own resources. Common transfers include: precision tools, finished goods, and time-sensitive materials that can’t sit idle.

• Vehicle & Loading Capabilities: Our fleet of vehicles is ideal for urgent components and time-sensitive materials. For any heavy or palletized items, client facilities must be equipped with a forklift or loading dock for both loading and unloading.

• And More!: Have a unique item or question about our capacity? Call us any time to discuss your exact delivery needs.

We show up when others can’t—because your deadlines can’t wait.
