What does Express Load mean in Logistics?

Express load is a freight or cargo shipping service that emphasizes speed and punctuality over cost. Also known as Urgent freight, it refers to products that must be transferred from one point to another quickly. This mode of transportation is a component of the CEP industry (courier, express and package service).

This service is frequently utilized when time-sensitive or perishable commodities must be transported, or when a consumer requires their goods to be delivered as soon as feasible. An express load service's purpose is to get the product to its destination as quickly as possible, often by using faster modes of transportation such as air or expedited ground transit. This type of service is typically more expensive than standard shipping because it necessitates more resources and greater flexibility to fulfill the required arrival schedules.
