What’s included in a same-day run

A driver, a truck and a dispatcher, from the moment you book until the consignee signs.

  1. 100-mile radius, nine facilities

    Same-day inside 100 miles of any CFL facility, from Los Angeles to New York. One booking number for all nine.

  2. Book by the cutoff

    Orders in by the cutoff go out the same business day. After the cutoff, dispatch tells you before you book, not after.

  3. Pallet & cased freight

    Pallets or loose cases. Liftgate available for docks that don’t have one.

  4. Driver ETA updates

    Dispatch follows the run and passes on ETA updates as the driver moves; the consignee can be kept informed too.

  5. Next-day beyond 100 miles

    Outside the ring, the same booking becomes next-day delivery on a CFL-dispatched truck or on LTL, whichever gets there first.

  6. Scheduled recurring runs

    Daily or weekly milk runs between your dock and your customers, priced once and run on a standing order.

  7. Proof of delivery

    Signature, time stamp and photos taken at the door and sent to you. No waiting for the paperwork to come back.

  8. Need something not listed?

    Add it to your manifest and a CFL operator prices it with the rest.

How it works

From the call to the signed receipt

  1. Before the cutoff

    Book

    Call or e-mail dispatch. Pickup address, delivery address, pallet count, deadline.

  2. Dispatch

    A driver is assigned and you receive the confirmation with the pickup window.

  3. Pickup window

    Pickup

    Driver loads at your dock or the facility’s. Count and condition noted before the truck moves.

  4. Same business day

    Deliver

    Dispatch passes on the ETA and calls the consignee if the dock needs a heads-up.

  5. At the door

    POD

    Signature and photos uploaded on the spot. Invoice matches the quoted run.

Cutoff and dispatch times vary by facility.

Pricing

Priced per run, before the truck moves.

A same-day run is quoted on distance band and pallet count. Wait time and extras are itemised so the invoice matches the booking.

Same-day questions

How far does same-day delivery reach?
100 miles from each of our nine facilities in seven states: California, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. Give dispatch the delivery ZIP and they confirm in a minute whether it is inside the ring. Beyond 100 miles the same booking becomes next-day delivery, on a CFL-dispatched truck or on LTL, whichever gets there first.
What is the cutoff for same-day?
Cutoff times vary by facility. Orders in before the cutoff go out the same business day. After it, dispatch tells you before you book whether a driver can still make the run or whether it becomes next-day. You will not find out at 5pm that a run did not go.
What can you carry on a same-day run?
Palletised and cased freight, plus loose cartons. Liftgate and pallet jack on the truck for docks that do not have one.
Is same-day delivery the same as hot shot freight?
Close, but not quite. Hot shot is usually a one-off expedited truck at a spot rate. Our same-day service runs on a rate card, with carrier partners CFL dispatches and tracks, from a facility that may already hold your inventory, so a same-day order can be picked, packed and delivered without a separate pickup leg. The tracking and POD are the same as every other CFL shipment.
