When late isn’t an option, you need a carrier with two drivers in the cab.

Two drivers in the cab: one drives while the other sleeps, so the truck never stops moving except for fuel, inspections, and the border — and at the border, our FAST cards mean we are through in minutes. Expedited freight is built for situations where the cost of being late exceeds the cost of the truck.

An assembly line waiting for a brake rotor. A pharma distributor with a next-day commitment. A retailer whose DC needs a missed load re-delivered inside a four-hour window. We run team operations on our own equipment, with our own drivers, under our own dispatch — we do not subcontract expedited loads, ever. When you are paying premium freight, the last thing you need is a broker scrambling to find a team at 9 p.m.

Expedited Freight — Alpha Trans cross-border trucking

Expedited

What you get

  • Team-driver speed. Two drivers keep the truck rolling legally through rest, cutting long-haul transit time roughly in half: Brampton to Chicago in ~12 hours, Dallas in ~24, Los Angeles in ~48.
  • FAST-lane crossings. CT-PAT and FAST clearance moves your load through a dedicated, pre-screened lane instead of the general queue — minutes at the booth, not hours.

Capabilities

How our expedited freight works for you

Guaranteed windows

Committed delivery windows, not estimated transit times, so a plant’s scheduling team can sequence production around an ETA they can actually build on.

Never subcontracted

Our own teams, our own trucks, our own dispatch. When the cost of late is measured in production minutes, your load is not handed to whoever a broker can find tonight.

How it works

From first call to delivery

  1. Call dispatch

    Reach our 24/7 desk directly with the pickup, the deadline, and the commodity. A real person answers — weekends, holidays, 3 a.m.

  2. We confirm a team

    We assign a two-driver team and a truck and confirm a firm delivery window — usually within the hour of your call.

  3. Non-stop transit

    The team runs around the clock, clearing the border in the FAST lane, with real-time GPS the whole way so your team can see exactly where the load is.

  4. On-window delivery

    Your freight arrives inside the committed window with proof of delivery — the line keeps running, the appointment holds.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is expedited team service?

With two drivers alternating, the truck only stops for fuel, inspections, and the border. Representative lanes from Brampton: Chicago in about 12 hours, Dallas in about 24, and Los Angeles in about 48. Call dispatch for a firm commitment on your specific lane.

Do you subcontract expedited loads?

Never. Every expedited load runs on our own equipment with our own team drivers under our own dispatch. When you are paying premium freight, you should not be relying on a broker scrambling to find a team at the last minute.

What industries use your expedited service most?

Automotive and OEM (JIT parts for assembly lines), pharmaceutical (time-sensitive medications and clinical materials with chain-of-custody), and manufacturing (production shutdowns, emergency parts, prototypes).

How quickly can a team be dispatched?

Call our 24/7 dispatch desk with the pickup, deadline, and commodity, and we will typically confirm a team and a truck within the hour.

Is the border a problem for time-critical loads?

Our FAST-carded drivers and pre-cleared trailers use the dedicated FAST lane, so crossings at Windsor, Fort Erie, and Sarnia are measured in minutes rather than the hours standard trucks can wait during peak periods.
