Delivering Freight of All Sizes from Staten Island to Massena (And Everywhere in Between)
Logistics solutions can feel like a heavy lift when you need to move a bulldozer, a deli case for a new restaurant opening, or displays for a last-minute trade show exhibit. But size or complexity shouldn’t prevent your business from getting the work done.
For the last 50 years, A1 Xpress has been providing fast, friendly trucking services that narrow the gap between consumer-level speed and business-scale logistics for deliveries big and small.
Same-day or planned in advance, you can pick from our fast, personalized trucking services that get your freight delivered when you need it.
Need Freight Moved On Time and On Budget?
We’ve Got You Covered Across NY
Costs for trucking companies in New York can quickly add up. Some companies tack on extra fees for navigating inconvenient pick-up locations or shipments that run a few pounds over the expected weight. Not here.
You have enough to do in your day—debating unexpected up-charges is a hassle you can’t afford. With A1 Xpress, you can trust that your pricing will be up front and your service will be tailored to your needs.
Flat-rate freight pricing
You pay one price, no extra charges for weight, fuel surcharges, or wait times. And at A1 Xpress, we minimize surprises by offering you a flat rate at the time of booking.
Perfect-fit vehicles. No guesswork
We send the right-sized truck the first time. From box trucks to tractor trailers and car carriers, we have over 60+ vehicles in our fleet.
Last-mile logistics expertise gets freight where it needs to go
We adapt our delivery strategy to fit the street—even if that means swapping vehicles closer to a destination to fit narrow and crowded streets.
Statewide Trucking Services from Buffalo to the Bronx
New York State has 114,807 miles of public roads—8,000 of which wind through New York City alone. Most trucking companies have mastered the Thruway, but it takes more than a GPS to conquer the rhythm of city deliveries and tight country roads. We’re built for both.
When you need to get something from point A to point B with no time to spare, you need a freight team that knows this state like the back of their hand.
Freight solutions for every business, big or small
Some same-day messenger services in New York only zip through streets carrying folios, while others will decline your shipment if it’s a few pounds heavier than expected.
Freight solutions not only means a fleet that can cover shipments of all shapes and sizes—but one that knows how to calculate the type of vehicle they’ll need to get your goods to their destination.
Our fully licensed and insured fleet includes:
- 16ft box trucks that can carry up to 19,500 lbs
- 53ft tractor trailers for solar panels, metal trusses for trade show booths, or steel beams
- Car carriers for dealer swaps
- …and many more!
Our 60+ vehicle types means worry-free for items of all sizes: from ICU ventilators to a nine-car fleet of electric vehicles.

For businesses, shipments mean more than a splurge—say trade show staging materials, industrial machinery, or a resupply of top-selling inventory—the ‘wait and see’ approach just won’t do.
From Hudson Valley to Western New York, We Cover Every Mile
Transporting last-minute flatbed shipments across New York State requires more than plugging the drop-off address into an app. From I-90 connecting Buffalo, Syracuse, and Albany, to I-87 running north-south between New York City and the Canadian Border, we’ve spent fifty years strategizing the most efficient routes for all sizes and weights of shipments.
We know the shortcuts Google doesn’t: It’s Friday afternoon in New York City. A freight truck is scheduled to pick up two pallets of shirts from a boutique warehouse in SoHo. They’re proving to be a viral sensation, and a high-end shop in Saratoga Springs is counting on the inventory to hit weekend sales targets.
The delivery driver faces an urban obstacle course that slows down service. The narrow one-way street is congested with double-parked vans, there’s no designated loading zone, and the remaining space is crowded with outdoor diners taking advantage of the summer afternoon.
With no easy curb access and building restrictions that prohibit pallet jacks and extended noise, the pickup devolves into a slow, hand-stacked process under pressure. What should have been a 15-minute task becomes a 45-minute ordeal at best—or the driver simply cancels the loadout due to poor access.
Not with A1 Xpress. We arrive with the street smarts to handle any job. From tight loading zones to unpredictable traffic patterns, we understand city streets because we work them every day.

Trucking Services FAQs across New York State
Can you guarantee same-day delivery within New York State?
We offer same-day, rush trucking services all over the state from Brooklyn to Buffalo.
How quickly can I get my shipment picked up?
Once you confirm your pick-up details and the flat-rate fee, we’ll be there to you in under an hour.
What about bad weather?
We’ve been driving the state for over fifty years—that means we’ve seen our fair share of snow, rain, and ice. But, sometimes severe weather forces us to pull our drivers off the road for their safety. We keep a very close eye on incoming weather and work it into our ETA from time of booking.
It can’t really be a flat-rate for freight shipment! What’s the catch?
No catch. Our pricing is based on distance, shipment size, and urgency, and we keep pricing simple and transparent from the moment you call to book. That means you’ll never see hidden fees for wait times, fuel surcharges, or anything else.
Do you provide things like a liftgate or pallet jack service for heavy items?
For locations without a loading dock or forklift, we can send a truck with a hydraulic lift to safely lower heavy items to street level.
My shipment requires extra TLC. Can you handle deliveries that require a little special treatment?
Yes, we provide additional protection services like strapping and blanket wrapping. Plus, in addition to jobsite or loading dock drop-offs, we can also handle white-glove situations like elevators or stair-carries inside of buildings.
