AirFreight.com’s expedited Sprinter vans provide same day and expedited delivery service.
As a premier provider of expedited shipping services, AirFreight.com not only delivers air superiority when you need it, but rapid ground transportation as well — seamlessly. Expedited Sprinter vans by AirFreight.com are a best-in-class option for your ground shipping needs both locally and across the country. Sprinter vans fill an important niche in freight expediting alongside larger vehicles, easily getting into places more difficult for box trucks and semi-trailers. Commonly associated with Mercedes but also built by Ford and others, Sprinter vans offer a variety of different cargo capacities and capabilities.
There are several reasons why expedited Sprinter vans might be the best option for your next shipment. Here’s just a few of them.
Sprinter vans can typically carry between one and four standard pallets of freight very efficiently due to their interior width, up to about 3500 pounds. Their volume is also effective for loose or unpalletized freight. If it fits, it ships. Since there is no additional handling in transit, this allows stacking to the vehicle’s ceiling if necessary. Sprinter van cargo space is easily loaded or unloaded either by hand or forklift, but their beds are not shipping dock height. Your AirFreight.com dedicated expeditor will take these factors into account when determining if a Sprinter van is the right choice for you.
Expedited Sprinter vans are a faster option than box trucks and semis over shorter distances, generally under 850 to 1200 miles. They also provide better transit times than traditional less-than-truckload (LTL) or truckload (TL) options. For example, in a traditional LTL the shipment is picked up and taken to a terminal to be consolidated with other shipments. This adds several more days to the delivery logistics chain. Do you really want your shipment being held up by someone else’s?
All of AirFreight.com’s Sprinter van shipments are exclusive use – with no other freight aboard or transfers, so your freight is the only shipment on the truck from pickup to delivery. It is loaded once and driven directly to its destination. Expedited Sprinter vans are easier to maneuver than larger trucks in dense urban or high traffic areas. This nimbleness contributes to their overall delivery speed, getting your freight there faster.
Expedited Sprinter vans are one of the most cost-effective ways of shipping direct via ground, coming in less expensive than box trucks, semis and air freight – up to 66 percent less! Since Sprinter vans are smaller and lighter than standard dock-high straight trucks, they cost less to operate per mile which means lower freight charges for you. Expedited Sprinter van freight is comparable to air freight delivery times over certain distances, but at a fraction of the cost on loads between 500 to 3500 pounds. When it has to get there fast without breaking the bottom line, expedited Sprinter vans are an excellent option.
Another advantage of expedited Sprinter vans is that, due in part to their smaller size, they are typically available almost everywhere. Because of their popularity, Sprinter fleet sizes are actually increasing nationwide, which means more customized shipping options for you. Intracity deliveries are easily handled by one driver, and for longer trips Sprinter vans are often operated by a team of drivers to keep your freight moving.
Expedited Sprinter vans are also much more flexible in terms of pick-up and delivery times. If your pick-up or delivery is on a weekend or has to arrive at an odd or very specific time, Sprinter vans operate in those windows that LTL and air freight do not – unless they are chartered. With just a call or click to AirFreight.com, one of these speedy haulers can be on the way for your freight right now!
There are times when expedited Sprinter vans won’t cut it. That’s where your dedicated expediter’s knowledge and experience comes in.
Expedited Sprinter vans won’t get you from Boston to Los Angeles next day, but if you understand what they can do - and AirFreight.com does - it gives you a very powerful tool to use in the right situation.
When you work with AirFreight.com, you get options that are optimized and customized for your shipment – not some one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approach. Your dedicated expeditor will work with you to see if a Sprinter van is the right option – and tell you if it’s not.
Need same day service? AirFreight.com has you covered. Two factors will determine if same day delivery by expedited Sprinter van will work for you: how early you call, and how far the shipment is going. If these align, your expeditor will dispatch either a courier to take your freight, or a two-man driver team ready for a non-stop drive.
Your goods will be the only cargo on the van. You won't have to worry about time-consuming stops to pick up and discharge other shipments, not when every minute counts.
