🤝 The Power of Partnerships: Why Who You Work With Matters

By Jay Rock | Freight Broker | Fast Cat Freight

Every strong business has trusted partners behind the scenes — vendors, customers, suppliers… and freight brokers.

In manufacturing, it’s not just about price or product — it’s about who shows up when things get tight.

🚛 Where Fast Cat Freight Fits In: We’re not just booking loads. We’re: ✅ Matching you with top carriers from a 60,000+ network ✅ Cutting costs with smarter routing ✅ Communicating clearly so you’re never in the dark ✅ Acting like an extension of your shipping team

🧩 Real Partnerships = Real Growth Ask yourself: Do your partners make life easier? Do they solve problems or cause them? Do they care about your success?

If not — it’s time to rethink.

We’re here to be a strategic partner, not a transactional one. When you win, we win.

🚛 Why FastCat Freight Stands Out — It’s Not Just About the Rate

Shipping from the East Coast to the West Coast? Whether you’re moving a full truckload or just a few pallets, choosing the right freight method can save you time, money, and a ton of stress.

In this video, Jay Z. Rock from FastCat Freight breaks down the smartest and most cost-effective shipping options for long-haul freight across the U.S.

✅ Freight Shipping Methods That Work:

1️⃣ Full Truckload (FTL) Perfect for large, direct shipments. Fast, secure, and ideal for 10+ pallets or 15,000+ lbs. 📌 Pro Tip: Book early on lanes like NJ to CA for better rates.

2️⃣ Less Than Truckload (LTL) Ship 1–6 pallets while splitting trailer space. Budget-friendly and ideal for small businesses. 📌 Pro Tip: Use shrink wrap and corner protectors—LTL means more handling.

3️⃣ Intermodal Rail Freight Cut costs by combining truck + rail. Slower, but great for dry goods and non-urgent freight. 📌 Pro Tip: Best for freight with flexible delivery dates.

4️⃣ Expedited or Team Drivers When time is money. Two drivers keep your freight moving 24/7. 📌 Pro Tip: Great for high-value or mission-critical freight.

5️⃣ Air Freight The fastest coast-to-coast option—usually in 1–2 days. 📌 Pro Tip: Ideal for urgent shipments like medical supplies or tech components.

💡 BONUS: Tips to Cut Shipping Costs

Consolidate shipments to hit FTL rates

Be flexible with pickup/delivery windows

Know your freight class

Work with a freight broker (like us!) for carrier access and better pricing

Moving Heavy Equipment? Here’s How We Get It Done!

🏗️ Shipping Heavy Equipment? Here’s How Fast Cat Freight Gets It Done Right

When it comes to moving heavy equipment, standard freight solutions just won’t cut it. Whether you're hauling excavators, bulldozers, cranes, or generators—oversized loads require serious planning, the right equipment, and an experienced freight partner.

That’s where Fast Cat Freight comes in.

💪 What Makes Heavy Equipment Shipping So Complex?

Heavy haul freight isn’t just big—it’s regulated, specialized, and full of moving parts. From lowboy trailers and RGNs to state-by-state oversize load permits, you need more than a truck. You need a team that understands the details and acts fast.

We handle:

Specialized trailer sourcing (lowboys, double drops, RGNs)

Oversized load permits and escorts

Detailed route planning to avoid low bridges or restricted roads

Coordination with cranes, crews, and jobsite schedules

🚛 Trailer Trouble? We’ve Got You Covered

Finding the right trailer—and a qualified heavy haul driver—can be tough. But at Fast Cat, we’ve built a deep carrier network that gets us access to the equipment you need, even during peak seasons or last-minute crunches.

🧠 The Fast Cat Freight Difference

We don’t sit around waiting for solutions—we go out and get them.

✅ We learn your cargo inside and out ✅ We match you with expert heavy haul carriers ✅ We manage permits, escorts, and all the details ✅ We communicate every step of the way—no surprises

🐾 Big Freight? Bring It On.

If your load makes forklifts look small, we’re the team to call. At Fast Cat Freight, we move what others can’t—and we do it fast, safe, and right.

How Steel Tariffs Can Drive Up the Cost of U S Products

🔩📈 How Steel Tariffs Drive Up U.S. Product Costs 👉 Get a Free Online Freight Quote – https://shorturl.at/rMC9F 📲 Connect on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-z-rock/

Steel tariffs don’t just affect metal importers — they impact nearly every U.S. industry that relies on steel to manufacture goods. From higher freight costs to price hikes on American-made products, the ripple effect is real.

In this video, I explain how steel tariffs influence supply chains and affect:

✅ Raw Material Costs – Why steel gets more expensive with tariffs ✅ Manufacturing – How tariffs increase production costs ✅ Consumer Pricing – Why everyday goods become pricier ✅ Export Competitiveness – The global impact on U.S. manufacturers ✅ Freight Trends – What I see as a freight broker in real time

While some domestic steelmakers benefit from tariffs, many downstream businesses face a squeeze between rising costs and shrinking margins.
