Minnesota’s Strategic Role in the U.S. Freight Industry: Expedited Freight, Same Day Shipping, and Domestic Air Freight Solutions
Minnesota stands as a cornerstone in the U.S. freight and logistics industry, driven by its geographic advantages, robust infrastructure, and thriving economy. Known for its diverse manufacturing base, agricultural output, and booming retail and distribution sectors, Minnesota is not just a destination—it’s a vital hub in the national supply chain. For companies in need of expedited freight services, same day shipping, next day delivery, and domestic air freight, Minnesota provides an ideal launching point to meet demanding transit times with efficiency and reliability.
At The Expedited Company, we leverage Minnesota’s logistics advantages to offer premier freight solutions both regionally and across the nation. Our mission is simple: to provide fast, dependable, and cost-effective shipping options backed by world-class customer service.
Minnesota: A Logistics Hub Built for Speed and Reach
Minnesota’s central location in the Upper Midwest gives it a strategic edge. The Twin Cities—Minneapolis and Saint Paul—form the state’s economic engine, and their proximity to major U.S. markets makes Minnesota an optimal origin and destination point for time-sensitive shipments. From here, freight can reach Chicago, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Omaha, St. Louis, and even parts of Canada within one day.
Minnesota is home to more than 138,000 miles of roadways, including critical freight corridors that make expedited transport possible. The state’s comprehensive infrastructure enables seamless connections for both over-the-road freight and domestic air freight, ensuring that shipments arrive quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.
The Interstate Highway System: A Lifeline for Expedited and Same Day Freight
One of Minnesota’s greatest freight assets is its connection to the Interstate Highway System. Key interstates such as I-35, I-90, I-94, and I-694 form a powerful network that accelerates the movement of goods. These routes support a high volume of commercial traffic and enable next day and same day freight delivery with minimal congestion and high reliability.
At The Expedited Company, we utilize this infrastructure to its fullest potential. Our fleet is strategically positioned to access interstates quickly, reducing transit times and helping customers meet strict deadlines. Whether you need a last-minute delivery across town or a time-critical shipment to another state, our operations are designed for precision and speed.
Expedited Freight Services: Speed Without Compromise
In today’s competitive environment, companies cannot afford delays. That’s why expedited freight shipping is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Minnesota’s infrastructure and proximity to key markets make it an excellent origin point for expedited LTL (less-than-truckload) and FTL (full truckload) services.
The Expedited Company offers tailored expedited solutions to meet a variety of business needs. We specialize in:
-
Critical parts delivery
-
Medical and pharmaceutical shipments
-
Manufacturing components
-
Retail distribution
-
Time-sensitive B2B freight
With 24/7 availability, real-time tracking, and a customer-first mindset, we ensure that your expedited freight arrives on time, every time.
Same Day and Next Day Freight Services: Local and Nationwide
As e-commerce, just-in-time manufacturing, and customer expectations evolve, the need for same day and next day freight shipping has skyrocketed. Minnesota’s freight-friendly geography and highway access allow us to offer rapid solutions for both intra-state and cross-country needs.
Whether you’re shipping from Minneapolis to Chicago or from St. Cloud to Des Moines, The Expedited Company can accommodate your urgent delivery requirements. Our service features include:
-
Dedicated vehicles
-
Team drivers for long-haul expedited freight
-
Flexible pickup windows

Our same day freight services ensure no time is wasted in transit. From urgent industrial parts to perishable goods, your time-sensitive cargo is our top priority.
Domestic Air Freight: Fast and Far-Reaching
Minnesota’s access to domestic air freight is another competitive advantage. Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) serves as a major hub for both commercial and cargo flights, enabling fast connections to major cities across the U.S. and beyond. For extremely urgent deliveries, air freight is the fastest way to move goods—and The Expedited Company is fully equipped to coordinate every detail.
Our domestic air freight solutions include:
-
Airport-to-airport transport
