FAQ

Questions shippers ask first.

Straight answers on quotes, equipment and what happens after you call.

How fast can I get an expedited freight quote?

In about 15 minutes. Send the pickup ZIP, delivery ZIP, deadline and freight type, and a C5 dispatcher prices the run and calls you back. Live spot quotes run 24/7, so the same applies at 2 AM.

What does dedicated use mean?

Your freight is the only freight on the truck. Every C5 truck runs 100% dedicated use, so there are no stops or transfers for anyone else's load between your pickup and your delivery.

Where does C5 Expedite deliver?

Across the United States and Canada. C5 is an asset-based expedited carrier headquartered in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, with an operations office in Oak Brook, Illinois.

What trucks does C5 run?

Dedicated sprinter vans are the core of the fleet, with more than 90 units operating nationwide. Larger freight moves on straight trucks, and 53 ft dry vans and reefers are available through sister company C5 Logistics.

Can C5 handle a line-down emergency in the middle of the night?

Yes. Dispatch is live 24/7/365 and answers the phone at any hour. Call (715) 887-3500, and a dispatcher prices the run and sends a dedicated truck as soon as you approve the quote.

How will I know where my freight is?

Dispatch sends updates around the clock by automated and live email, and a dispatcher stays on the run until delivery. Proof of delivery is sent the same day.

Does C5 offer white glove or trade show delivery?
