Fast Forwarding

Fast Forwarding is a non asset-based transportation company. Like other non-asset based transportation firms, (brokers, intermodal shippers’ agents, and third party logistic providers), the equipment we provide is not owned by Fast Forwarding. This affords tremendous flexibility, equipment and service options not found with capital based operations. Third party entities control the majority of the freight moving in the US. The reason is quite simple: third parties provide the transportation consumer with the most efficient and comprehensive service(s) in the industry. Third party operations are the “Transportation Superstores”.

What separates Fast Forwarding from other third party providers is the legal distinction of being a licensed freight forwarder. A freight forwarder is legally the carrier of record. Fast is the carrier on the bill-of-lading and provides all the legal protections that are stipulated in the bill-of-lading. We take possession of the product and are responsible for the payment of freight bills to the carriers and the remittances from the customer. Furthermore, Fast Forwarding is liable for freight claims. We have the insurance(s) to protect the shipper and the shipper deals directly with Fast on these problems.

Our Services
Fast Forwarding is structured and founded on the simple idea that people are paying too much for critical shipments and getting too little in the way of customer service. We target the air/expedited/critical market because there is a demand for a reliable, service-focused, and inexpensive alternative to air. Our growth is a direct result of this commitment.

Rule #1: Be on time
Zero tolerance: 100% on time commitment.
Rule #2: Communicate
We provide the customer with up to the minute location 24 hours per day/365 days per year via satellite, cell phone and/or GPS communications. If there are any delays, we inform you immediately. Upon delivery, a signed proof of delivery (POD) is available.
Rule #3: Save the customer money
Fast Forwarding will only fly those shipments that cannot move economically via surface. In light of the enhanced security issues at the airports, flying product has become more costly and less predictable.

Alternatively, we put two drivers in state of the art equipment and run them direct from your door to the customer’s door. By not flying the product, there are no delays due to terminal relays, re-handling or bumped flights.

Fast Forwarding has the best expedited rates available. We welcome comparative pricing and can provide rate quotes 24 hours per day.
