Expedited cargo and Sprinter van owners often operate independently, giving them complete control over their operations. This autonomy allows them to select their own routes, schedules, and clients, maximizing their income potential. However, to succeed in the expedited freight industry, many owner-operators need to align with a carrier or logistics entity that specializes in expedited delivery services. These carriers act as a bridge between owner-operators and shippers or freight brokers, offering access to a broad client network and facilitating cargo collection and delivery.
