Common questions
What shippers ask most before they switch to Hovership.
What is Hovership?
Hovership is a super-regional US delivery carrier built around proprietary technology: automated routing, live ETAs, real-time visibility, and final-mile coverage delivered by professional, non-gig drivers. Same-day, next-day, 2–4 day, big-and-bulky, and freight service all run on one carrier, one rate, and one tracking layer. We're not a multi-carrier marketplace; we're the carrier.
How is Hovership different from FedEx, UPS, and USPS?
Three things: rates up to 92% lower than published FedEx, UPS, and USPS pricing on comparable services; proprietary technology built for extremely transparent performance (live ETAs, real-time dashboard, REST API, exception webhooks) instead of bolted-on portals; and support a super-regional carrier can actually deliver. Legacy carriers were built on physical infrastructure first; Hovership was built on software first.
Where does Hovership deliver?
Hovership operates final-mile coverage across 28 states and 9,500+ zip codes, reaching ~90% of the US population — maximum population coverage from a super-regional footprint. Service-tier availability (same-day, next-day, economy, big-and-bulky, freight) is checked per zip code at shipment creation. See the full coverage list for every serviced state and zip.
How do shippers actually save versus legacy carriers?
Hovership shippers see rates up to 92% lower than published FedEx, UPS, and USPS pricing on comparable services. Savings come from network density in the metros we serve, lower overhead than legacy carriers, and not paying for capacity in markets you don't ship to. Pricing is volume-based and quoted on your real lanes. Request a custom rate card on your shipping profile.
