EDI Express Services

- FTL – Full Truck Load
- Local Delivery
Guaranteed Delivery Service
EDI Express also offers a Guaranteed Delivery Service. If they don’t deliver on time, the customer doesn’t pay. This service is available, for a 25% premium, to most of the points the company services.
Driving Jobs at EDI Express
Drivers at EDI Express work in two-person sleeper teams to ensure that shipments get to their destinations on time.
LTL and FTL drivers can expect to spend most days on the road. Local drivers will get more home time, but the company’s routes can be demanding.
With guaranteed delivery options and the expectation of getting loads coast to coast in 3-5 days, drivers will need to meet strict deadlines while making safety a top priority.
