Do you handle expedited or same-day pickup on Dallas-Florien freight?
Yes — mark the pickup window as "ASAP" or "same-day" in the quote form. Same-day pickups typically require a 2-4 hour rate premium (220 mi is roughly a 1-day run so drivers need to reposition), and we'll surface carriers with equipment already in the Dallas area first.
