Once you book your transport, we will chart out the path of available drivers that can be routed to your pick up location, yet also headed toward your destination.

    Once your dispatch team determines the best carrier to assign to your transport, they will schedule your pick up and the driver will begin moving toward your destination from where ever he/she is. Their distance from, how many pick ups or drop offs they have before they get to you, and federal regulations regarding how often they must stop and how long they are allowed to drive, all affect your pick up time. Not to mention, any traffic issues, bad weather, construction or external issues they may face before they get to you.
