Key Benefits - Why Top Companies Choose CR Express for OTR
Ranked in the top 1-2% of U.S. carriers, we deliver the reliability of a large carrier with the personalized service only a family-owned business can provide.
- 98%+ On-Time Performance You Can Count On. We don't just promise on-time delivery, we deliver it consistently. Realistic transit quotes, proactive traffic monitoring, weather contingency planning, and regular driver communication ensure your freight arrives when promised.
- Real-Time Tracking Every Mile. GPS tracking on all equipment provides current location, ETA based on actual progress, route monitoring, geofence alerts, and proof of delivery with timestamps. Always know exactly where your freight is.
- True Nationwide 48-State Coverage. One carrier for all your freight needs from coast to coast. Midwest (same/next-day), Southeast (Florida to Carolinas), Northeast (New England & Mid-Atlantic), Southwest (Texas to Arizona), and West Coast (CA, OR, WA) with regular lanes.
- Dedicated Contract Carriage Options. Committed capacity for regular lanes with the same drivers who learn your requirements, consistent equipment, predictable schedules, and contracted pricing locked in against spot market fluctuations. Priority service during peak seasons.
- Expedited Team Driver Service. Cut transit time by up to 50% with two-driver teams for continuous driving. Coast-to-coast in 5-7 days becomes 2-3 days. Perfect for time-critical shipments requiring the fastest possible delivery.
- 24/7 Personalized Dispatch Support. Talk to real people who know your account, not automated systems. Afterhours pickup/delivery coordination, real-time problem resolution, proactive delay communication, and personal account management you won't find at mega-carriers.
