Expedited & Partial Freight

The Right Space. The Right Speed. The Right People.

Pay for the space you need. Move at the speed you want. Expedited and partial capacity, vetted and on call before the emergency starts — for the loads too big for LTL, too small for a full truck, or too urgent for either.

The freight that falls between your contracts

Your bids cover two clean modes. LTL for the small stuff. Truckload for the big stuff. The loads in between get left to a phone and a prayer.

You know the load. A half pallet count with a hard delivery date. A rush replacement while a production line waits. 6 to 12 pallets that ride poorly on LTL and waste space on a truck. When one lands, the calling starts, and the spot market prices your hurry.

4 signs you have a leak
  • →Time lost calling around instead of running your operation.
  • →Markups that climb the moment the load is urgent.
  • →Missed appointments, reclass charges, and chargebacks.
  • →A new carrier you vetted in 4 minutes, on a load that matters.

The capacity is already built

TSA keeps a network of expedited and partial capacity vetted and on call before you need it, so the odd load is a callback instead of a scramble.

Sprinter vans & cargo vans
For the load that's
Small, fast, and on a hard clock.
Partial box trucks
For the load that's
Too big for clean LTL, too small for a full truck.
Expedited team drivers
For the load that's
Long haul with a delivery date that doesn't move.

Every carrier clears a 25-point vetting and freight security standard before it touches your product. The work is done early, so the answer is ready when the load is.

What's different about TSA

More than 40 years in business, founded in 1984.
95 percent on-time pickup and delivery performance.
Dedicated account teams, so you reach a person who knows your freight.
Their own TMS and client portal to quote, book, and track in real time.
25-point carrier vetting and freight security standards.
One partner across truckload, drayage, LTL, and warehousing.
We own the outcome.

A tracking link tells you a load is late. A dedicated team sees it coming and owns what happens next.

That's the TSA Way: Transparency, Service, Accountability.

Two ways we move the freight in between

Expedited and partial solve the two problems your contracts can't: the load that has to be there fast, and the load that's too big for LTL but too small for a full truck. Here's what each one gets you.

Expedited — the right speed
A truck on call the moment the clock starts.

Dedicated sprinter vans, cargo vans, straight trucks, and team drivers that move direct — for the load that has to be there on a hard date, not whenever the spot market answers.

  • → Capacity vetted and on call before you need it — a callback, not a cold start.
  • → Direct, nonstop transit, so your freight never sits waiting on a dock.
  • → You hit the appointment — and skip the missed-delivery chargeback.
  • → Real-time tracking and a dedicated team that owns the load to the door.
Partial — the right space
Pay for the space you use. Nothing more.

Ship 6 to 18 pallets at a price set by the space they take — not a full trailer you don't fill, and not the handling and reclass risk of fragile LTL.

  • → Pay only for the trailer space your freight actually occupies.
  • → Fewer touches than LTL — less handling, less damage, fewer reclass surprises.
  • → More predictable transit than an LTL hub-and-spoke network.
  • → Right-sized for the load too big for LTL, too small for a full truckload.

Also moving with TSA: temperature-controlled, fresh & frozen, and hazmat freight — each with its own dedicated program.

Pricing you can plan against

We publish lane-range bands, so you get a predictable range to plan against. We set it ahead of time, while things are calm. No surprise quotes when the load is hot.
