Dale Prax is a 30-year logistics industry expert. With the onset of COVID Prax harnessed his entrepreneurial spirit to make a difference in the freight expediting world through automation and technology. 

Dayna Harap has been in the transportation industry for 30 years and has spent nearly her entire career on the trucking side of air cargo in roles ranging from operations to sales. She enjoys building solid relationships with customers and vendors to help them learn and grow from one another. Dayna is currently President of the JFK Air Cargo Association. 

The Direct Expedite management team is committed to integrity, ethics, hard work, and best-in-class transportation service solutions. To ensure that they exceed customers’ expected service, they deliver Direct using years of experience, innovation, and groundbreaking technology. They offer ground expedited freight rate quotes in less than 15 seconds (with guaranteed capacity) and can book the load, dispatch the driver, and provide a tracking link in as little as five minutes. 

Direct Expedite provides a hard copy POD within 15 minutes of delivery and pays all carriers within 48 hours of receipt of the invoice. Offering up-to-the-minute tracking and tracing via satellite, GPS, and cell phone technologies, their Truck Search engine provides customers with immediate and current information regarding capacity for expedited cargo vans, sprinters, straight trucks, and tractor trailers. Recently, Direct Expedite added its “Weather Adjusted Transit Time Platform.” With this innovative initiative, Direct Expedite provides its customers with route-based slowdown and impact data to pinpoint and avoid weather-related road delays days in advance for more accurate transit times. 

Direct Expedite can also provide airline pickups, drops with TSA-certified drivers, white-glove deliveries, and much more in the John F. Kennedy International Airport area through a strategic partnership with Complete Transport Systems.
