In another current thread about cheap freight, the topic of the definition of expedite freight surfaced. One of our Forum members suggested that the truckload carriers also carry expedite freight.

Many large truckload and LTL carriers have recognized the market share that expedite carriers have captured, and in a lame attempt to get into the expedite community, they have established Expedite Divisions. I stand ready to be corrected, but I know of no Truckload carrier, such as Swift, CRST or JB Hunt, that can claim adherence to any one of the above principles, let alone all four, as we in the expedite community can claim.
