    Ok; I don’t mean a company actually called ‘Expedite Trucking’.
    I am referring to the actual type of trucking called expedite.
    Is it basically an LTL type service delivering Amazon type freight?
    Is anybody actually doing this with their own truck or small van as an O/O?
    How does it work and how is it working out for you?
    Thanks in advance!

    It's basically last minute loads that need a team. The automotive industry uses them a lot. Say they are sort on a part for the production line. They pay extra money to get the part they need. Because they are not stopping the production line. So what ever it takes to get team to pickup the part a deliver the stuff they need. They are willing to pay extra money for the team and the truck they need right now. You could say it's emergency freight that have to me moved now.

    There are lots of guys doing this.
    The problem is, there are way too many, and rates are in the toilet.
