Dedicated Short-haul

Yes.

While dedicated short-haul provides consistent base capacity, US1 ShortHaul also offers a Flex Capacity Program with pre-determined rates for incremental yard trucks, shuttle tractors, or trailers when your volumes surge.

You get the reliability of a dedicated fleet with the flexibility to scale during peak periods — without renegotiating contracts.

Dedicated short-haul eliminates the variability of sourcing trucks on the open market.

With consistent drivers who know your routes, facilities, and procedures, you get faster load/unload times, fewer errors, reduced dwell time, and better on-time delivery rates.

We also optimize fuel management and scheduling to reduce waste and track every move for continuous improvement.

US1 ShortHaul guarantees 24-hour equipment replacement.

If a spotter unit or day cab goes down, we dispatch a replacement immediately so your freight keeps moving.

Our fleet of brand new equipment minimizes the risk of breakdowns in the first place, and our proactive maintenance program catches issues before they become problems.

We handpick driver pools tailored to each client’s specific business needs, routes, and facility requirements.

Our drivers go through rigorous screening and receive ongoing training through weekly safety meetings.

We track driver statistics and move times to continuously optimize performance, and our scheduling adjustments ensure the right drivers are on the right routes at the right times.

We provide brand new spotter units and day cabs to minimize downtime and maximize reliability.

We also offer DOT and off-road spotter units depending on your facility needs.

If equipment goes down, we guarantee a 24-hour replacement so your operations never stop.

Businesses with consistent daily or weekly freight volumes on predictable routes benefit most.

This includes distribution centers, manufacturing plants, retail fulfillment hubs, grocery chains, and any operation that needs reliable shuttle service between facilities, warehouses, and delivery points.

US1 ShortHaul serves industries including retail, grocery, food grade, automotive, electronics, consumer packaged goods, apparel, home improvement, pet products, and FedEx networks.

With common carriers or the spot market, you’re competing for available trucks at fluctuating rates with no guarantee of capacity.

Dedicated short-haul gives you reserved trucks and drivers committed exclusively to your freight.

This means consistent service quality, drivers who know your facilities and procedures, predictable costs, and guaranteed capacity — even during peak seasons when spot market rates spike.

Short-haul trucking generally covers routes within a 150-mile radius of the origin point.

These are local and regional deliveries where drivers complete their runs and return home the same day.

US1 ShortHaul specializes in this radius, providing last-mile and middle-mile delivery solutions that keep freight moving fast and efficiently.

Dedicated short-haul trucking is a transportation model where a fleet of trucks and drivers is assigned exclusively to your freight on recurring local and regional routes — typically within a 150-mile radius.

Unlike common carrier or spot market freight, dedicated short-haul means you have consistent capacity, familiar drivers, and predictable costs every day.

US1 ShortHaul provides private truck fleets on long-term contracts tailored to your specific routes and schedules.
