Choosing Your Route: A Quick Guide

Consideration Choose Fast Lane If... Choose Economical Route If...
Product Urgency You have a tight deadline or a fast-moving product. Your delivery timeline is flexible and planned in advance.
Order Volume & Value Shipments are lower in volume but higher in value or margin. Shipments are high in volume, weight, or size.
