A production line is down waiting on a part. A job site crew is standing around waiting on material. A customer needs it today, not Thursday. That’s expedited freight — and it’s where a local carrier with its own trucks beats a national network every time. Davis Delivery runs same-day and expedited freight across metro Atlanta and North Georgia from our Buford hub just off I-985 at Exit 8, with dispatchers who answer the phone and drivers already on the road.
What We Move on Expedited Service
- Palletized freight and skids — single pallets to partial truckloads
- Machine parts and equipment needed to get a line or crew moving again
- Building materials, tile, and flooring headed to showrooms and job sites
- Time-critical distributor and vendor deliveries with proof of delivery required
Why Local Beats National on Same-Day
National carriers route expedited freight through hubs and hand-offs. We don’t. Your shipment goes on one of our 50+ trucks and drives straight to the destination — with real-time GPS tracking the whole way and live dispatch that can reroute or update a delivery while it’s moving. When it arrives, you get instant electronic proof of delivery with signature and photos.
And because every straight truck carries a liftgate with a trained operator, expedited doesn’t stop at the curb — we deliver to docks, storefronts, homes, and job sites alike.

Common Questions
How do I book a same-day shipment?
Call (678) 926-3939 — dispatch is live Monday–Friday, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM. The earlier in the day you call, the more delivery windows we can hit.
Can you pick up from my vendor instead of my dock?
Yes — we pick up anywhere in our territory and deliver direct, with tracking shared to you and your customer.
What if the delivery point has no forklift or dock?
Every straight truck is liftgate-equipped, so no forklift or dock is needed at the receiving end. Liftgate service is a flat $50 — national carriers charge $100–$200.
