If you need a pallet to arrive by tomorrow, the key is dedicated, expedited freight. With NOW Courier, that means your shipment rides on a vehicle that goes directly from pickup to delivery—no terminals, no transfers, no waiting around. To get started, provide:

• Pickup and delivery ZIP codes

• Pallet size and weight
  

Your deadline (for example, “must deliver by 10 a.m.”)

Our Expedited Freight team will match your load with the right vehicle and route so your pallet moves overnight, safely and on time.

No dock? No problem. We can send a truck equipped with a liftgate or a Moffett (truck-mounted forklift) so the driver can load and unload safely on-site.

When booking, just tell us:

• Approximate weight and dimensions

• Whether it’s palletized

• Where it’s being dropped (construction site, warehouse lot, residential, etc.)

Our dispatch team will choose the right truck and unloading equipment so you don’t need a dock crew waiting.

A Moffett is a forklift attached to the back of a truck that can be detached at delivery. It’s perfect for large or heavy shipments where no dock or equipment is available.

To schedule one:

1. Let us know the drop-off location and surface type (gravel, pavement, etc.).

2. Share details about your load—pallet count, weight, and any special handling.
   

We’ll send a Moffett-equipped vehicle and trained driver who can unload directly where you need it.

You don’t have to lift a thing—literally.

Call or request a quote online before noon whenever possible. Our dispatch system instantly locates the nearest available vehicle that fits your freight size (box truck, straight truck, or flatbed).

We’ll confirm your pickup window, load requirements, and destination and you’ll receive tracking updates once it’s en route. Same-day freight is what our Expedited Freight team does best.

For items that don’t fit neatly on a standard pallet—think equipment, furniture, or awkward shapes—we use specialized trucks and handling protocols:

• Secure tie-downs and padded straps

• “Do Not Stack” and “This Side Up” labeling

• Dedicated vehicles (no load sharing with other shipments)

Our drivers are trained to protect your cargo every step of the way so it arrives in the same condition it left.

Moving something industrial? We can provide flatbeds or liftgate trucks depending on the weight and accessibility of your site.

Our team will:

• Assess load weight and dimensions

• Arrange the right equipment for loading/unloading

• Provide same-day or scheduled delivery options

From manufacturing plants to construction sites, we make sure your heavy equipment moves safely and efficiently.

Look for a logistics partner that offers equipment-assisted delivery options such as Moffetts or forklifts, like NOW Courier!

When comparing providers, ask:

• Do you have trucks equipped with forklifts or liftgates?

• Can your drivers operate unloading equipment?

• Do you service locations without docks?

If the answer isn’t “yes” to all three, keep looking. The right partner should handle unloading without extra vendors or delays.

Fragile shipments need both smart packing and gentle handling.

Here’s how we ensure protection:

• Use sturdy pallet bases and secure items with stretch wrap or corner guards.

• Clearly label the shipment as Fragile and Do Not Stack.

• Assign drivers experienced in handling sensitive freight.

We’ll make sure your goods stay upright, cushioned, and stable through every mile.

Every NOW Courier delivery includes electronic proof of delivery (POD). You’ll receive instant confirmation via email or portal update with:

• Timestamp and recipient signature

• Delivery photo (if requested)

• GPS verification of the drop-off location

This documentation is available in real time so you always know your shipment hit its mark.

Our routing technology and driver communication tools make multi-stop deliveries easy.

We can:

• Optimize stop order for the fastest route

• Add, remove, or adjust stops while the driver is already on the road

• Provide live status updates for each drop

This keeps your deliveries efficient, accurate, and stress-free all from a single dashboard connected to dispatch.

A standard 53-foot semi-truck can fit 26 standard pallets (48"x40") when they’re loaded single-stacked and evenly distributed. If your shipment includes taller or irregular pallets, the count might be lower.

If you’re not sure whether your load requires a semi or a smaller truck, just tell us how many pallets you’re moving and we’ll right-size the truck for you.

It depends on quantity, weight, and access.

• 1 – 10 pallets? A dock-high box truck or straight truck usually works best — flexible, faster, and easier for local deliveries.
  

• 11 – 26 pallets? You’re in semi-truck territory (full-truckload).

• Hard-to-reach site? A smaller truck with a liftgate or Moffett may be a better fit.

We’ll help you choose the most efficient and cost-effective option based on your load and delivery site.

Our semis can handle oversized and overweight loads. Most customers stay in the 40,000 – 45,000 lb range for safety and balance. If your shipment falls anywhere under that threshold, we can move it.

Yes! That’s exactly what our Expedited Freight service is built for. Whether you’re moving 5 pallets or 25, we’ll match the load with the right vehicle and route for same-day or next-day delivery across Indiana and beyond.

We’ll send a dock-high truck with a heavy-duty liftgate or Moffett so your pallets can be loaded and unloaded safely anywhere — job site, parking lot, or retail location. You don’t need special equipment or staff; our drivers handle it all.

A Moffett is a truck-mounted forklift that travels with your delivery. It’s perfect for:

• Job-site deliveries where no dock or forklift exists

• Heavy pallets that need to be placed exactly where you want them

• Residential or rural deliveries with limited access

When you request a Moffett, the driver can unload your freight directly on-site safely and efficiently.

Yes! We frequently deliver to homes, farms, and job sites. We’ll send a truck equipped with a liftgate or Moffett to unload safely, no crew or equipment required on your end.

Twenty pallets typically require a dock-high straight truck or a semi, depending on weight and stacking height. If your shipment exceeds 10 pallets or 15,000 lbs, our dispatchers will recommend the right vehicle for speed and safety.

Start with three simple details:

1. How big or heavy is your load? (number of pallets or total weight)

2. Where is it going? (distance and access type)

3. When does it need to arrive? (same-day, next-day, or scheduled)

We’ll size the truck — from cargo van to box truck to semi — so you don’t pay for more capacity than you need.

Absolutely. We specialize in same-day regional routes. For example, shipments from Indianapolis to Gary, Louisville, or Cincinnati can typically be picked up and delivered within hours.

Yes, that’s generally semi-level freight. Most box trucks max out around 32,000 lbs GVW (gross vehicle weight), meaning cargo in the 10,000–12,000 lb range per load. Anything heavier belongs on a semi or flatbed.

Yes! This is exactly what our Moffett-equipped trucks are designed for. The driver can unload and place pallets safely, even if no forklift or dock is on site.

Yes. You don’t have to fill an entire trailer to work with us. We handle partial loads, half-truck deliveries, and dedicated routes that match your volume without the delays of traditional LTL carriers.

Of course. We maintain detailed specs on every vehicle in our fleet — including box-truck liftgate capacity (up to 3,200 lbs) and heavy-duty options for dense freight. Tell us what you’re moving, and we’ll choose a truck that’s built for it.

Just tell us what you need to move, where it’s going, and when it needs to be there. You don’t need to say “freight” or know the vehicle size. Phrases like “I need to ship 12 pallets from our warehouse to a job site in Cincinnati by tomorrow” give us everything we need to quote and dispatch the right truck immediately.

Yes. For materials that don’t fit in enclosed trucks — like construction supplies, crates, or oversized items — we offer flatbed service with optional Moffett unloading.

We can handle oversized and overweight loads, depending on the truck type. For unusually tall, wide, or heavy shipments, we’ll review clearance and routing requirements before dispatch to keep everything compliant and efficient.

We regularly handle same-day routes up to 300 miles, with overnight delivery available for longer hauls. If it needs to go farther, we’ll coordinate regional or relay service to keep timing tight.

Yes! Our integrated dispatch system provides live GPS tracking and instant delivery confirmation. You’ll always know exactly where your shipment is and when it will arrive.

We’ll plan and optimize the route for you. Our software can add, remove, or reroute stops while the driver is already on the road, keeping everything efficient and transparent.

Yes. Our heavy-duty liftgates can manage up to 3,200 lbs per lift, which is higher than the industry average. If your shipment exceeds that, we’ll send a Moffett or forklift-equipped truck.
