DAGO Express Launches Dedicated Direct Freight in 49 U.S. States

DAGO Express Inc. now offers dedicated direct freight in 49 U.S. states – all 48 contiguous states and Alaska. Every shipment travels in one vehicle reserved for that customer, straight from pickup to delivery: no hub, no cross-dock, no reloading. Shippers enter two ZIP codes, see the price and book online.

The first six weeks in numbers

Our first U.S. pickup took place on September 14, 2026. By October 22, 2026, we had completed 62 direct trips across 23 states.

• 62 trips – 10 in the second half of September, 52 in the first three weeks of October
• 10,477 miles driven in total
• 21 of 62 trips (one in three) crossed state lines
• 856 miles – the longest single run, from Greenville, N.C., to Plainville, Mass., in one vehicle the whole way

Pickups and deliveries took place in California, New York, Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, Washington, Maryland, Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, Kentucky, Tennessee, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, Oregon, Nevada and Massachusetts.

A fast-growing carrier network

Capacity is growing just as fast as demand: in the last 30 days alone (September 24 to October 24, 2026), 678 U.S. drivers and carriers – nearly 700 – registered on the DAGO Express platform. From car and SUV couriers for local runs to owner-operators with cargo vans, box trucks and dry vans, every new partner goes through the same checks before hauling a single load.

A third option for urgent freight

“Shippers with urgent freight usually have two options: put it in a network with transfers or pay for a full truck,” says Damian Golunski, President of DAGO Express Inc. “We offer the third option: one dedicated vehicle sized to the load, booked online in minutes, going straight from pickup to delivery. This model has worked in Europe since 2019, and the first weeks in the U.S. show that shippers here want it too.”

How dedicated direct freight works

• One vehicle, one shipment: the vehicle that picks up your freight is the same one that delivers it. Nothing is reloaded or consolidated with other freight.
• Right-sized vehicles: from cargo vans and sprinter vans to box trucks and dry vans, matched to the load.
• Online booking: enter pickup and delivery ZIP codes, see the price before you book. Same-day pickup can be booked online during business hours.
• Licensed broker, vetted carriers: DAGO Express Inc. is authorized by the FMCSA as a broker of property (USDOT 6965061, MC 63254743) and works only with vetted drivers and carriers.

The platform behind the service

DAGO Express has invested about $1 million in its own logistics platform. It runs the full order: online pricing and booking, carrier selection, a check of each carrier's operating authority and insurance before a load is assigned, live shipment tracking, and a record of every carrier's punctuality and cancellations.

“The investment in our platform is what lets a young U.S. operation hold a high standard from the first load,” says Golunski. “Every carrier is checked before it hauls freight for us, and every shipment is monitored until delivery.”

Frequently asked questions

What is dedicated direct freight?

A shipment that moves in one vehicle reserved for that customer, straight from pickup to delivery, without passing through a terminal or hub.

Who uses dedicated expedited freight?

Manufacturers with line-down parts, retailers with urgent restocks, event and trade-show shippers, and other businesses whose freight cannot wait for a consolidated network.

How is it different from LTL?

LTL freight shares a truck with other shipments and is usually handled at several terminals. Dedicated direct freight is never transferred, which reduces transit time and handling. See also: LTL vs. truckload vs. dedicated.

Is this the same as exclusive-use, hot shot or ground expedite?

Largely, yes. These industry terms describe the same idea: one vehicle reserved for one shipment, moving from pickup to delivery without transfers.
