Built for deadlines that don't move

Some freight has a date that cannot slip: a production line waiting on parts, a retail launch, a contract penalty clock. AEEM moves time-critical loads with two-driver teams that keep the truck rolling through federally required rest breaks, cutting transit nearly in half versus a solo driver.

From our Los Angeles base we dispatch same-day on major SoCal lanes and run expedited full truckload to all 48 contiguous states, dry van, reefer, and flatbed, with exclusive use of the trailer on every load. Every truck is GPS-tracked with a dispatch desk watching it around the clock.

how it works

Our proven expedited freight process

1. Deadline & Load Review

We confirm your delivery window, dimensions, and weight, then lock the right equipment type and a team crew for your lane.

2. Immediate Dispatch

Capacity is locked and a driver dispatched, often within hours on SoCal lanes. Team loads are staged so drivers rotate without the truck stopping.

3. Nonstop, Tracked Transit

The truck keeps moving while drivers alternate rest. Live GPS, milestone alerts, and proactive check calls keep you ahead of the ETA the whole way.

4. On-Time Delivery & POD

Freight arrives inside the committed window with electronic proof of delivery captured on arrival.

Frequently asked questions

Expedited shipping, answered

Straight answers on team drivers, transit times, equipment, and what expedited really costs.

What is team driver freight?

Two drivers share one truck and alternate federally required rest breaks, so the truck keeps moving around the clock. A solo driver covers roughly 500 miles a day; a team covers up to 1,000. It's the fastest ground option for freight too heavy or too costly to fly.

How fast is expedited freight from Los Angeles?

Team drivers reach Dallas in about 1.5 days, Chicago in about 2, and the East Coast in as little as 2 days on express service. Same-day pickup is available on major SoCal lanes, with the truck rolling within hours of dispatch.

How much does expedited shipping cost?

Expedited typically runs 50 to 100 percent above standard FTL on the same lane, driven by team driver pay and guaranteed capacity. It's still far cheaper than air freight for heavy loads. Every AEEM quote is all-in with fuel and accessorials upfront.

.

Do you expedite partial or smaller loads?

Our expedited service is full truckload with exclusive use of the trailer. If your load doesn't fill it, you still get the dedicated truck and the team-driver speed. For smaller shipments where FTL doesn't pencil, our LTL service is the better fit.

Expedited ground or air freight, which should I choose?

Air wins on pure speed for light, high-value cargo. Team-driver ground wins on cost for anything heavy, and often matches door-to-door air timing on transcontinental lanes once airport handling is counted. We quote both honestly and recommend what actually fits your deadline and budget.

Can you expedite temperature-controlled or oversize freight?

Yes. Team drivers run reefer loads for time-critical cold freight, and expedited service extends to permitted loads where state travel curfews allow. We combine specialized services under one coordinator and one plan.
