Expedited Freight

Expedited freight is the right solution if your shipment:

Is high-value and requires a higher level of security and visibility

Is distressed and needs to move on a compressed or same-day timeline

Cannot tolerate relay points, shared trailers, or unplanned stops

Is part of a recurring time-critical program that demands consistent, pre-planned execution

Speed Backed by a Vetted Carrier Network

Moving fast means nothing if the carrier isn't ready, reliable, and fully compliant. Mariner maintains active relationships with a deep pool of expedited carriers who have been vetted for safety, compliance, and performance — carriers we move freight with regularly, not strangers pulled from a load board under pressure. When you need capacity mobilized quickly, we're drawing from a network built for exactly this moment.

Full Visibility, Every Mile

Every expedited shipment moves with real-time visibility through Mariner Live. Live tracking, exception alerts, and proactive communication to your team at every critical milestone means you will never be in the position of not knowing where your freight is when it matters most. When something changes, you hear it from us before you have to ask.

24/7 Coverage from People Who Know Your Account

Freight emergencies don't observe business hours. Mariner's expedited team is available around the clock, and when you call at midnight or 5 a.m., you reach a live logistics expert who knows your account and can act immediately — not a call center working from a script.

The Right Equipment for the Move

From sprinter vans and straight trucks to team-driver truckloads for no-stop long-haul moves, Mariner matches the equipment to the load and the clock. When ground alone can't make the cut, we coordinate air freight and multimodal options with a single point of contact managing the full move regardless of how many modes it takes.
