Many shippers are realizing the cost savings and service benefits
associated with converting LTL and small package shipments to truckload
shipments. Consolidation can be accomplished daily via our
transportation management system, or it can be engineered using pool
distribution and multi-stop truckload transportation plans.
Key Benefits
- Reduce transportation costs as much as 20% or more.
- Minimize loss and damage claims associated with LTL carriers.
- Improve transit times and customer satisfaction.
Mode Conversion/Optimization Process
1. Analyze three to six months of freight bill payment history.
2. Perform computer modeling and optimization by lane and mode.
3. Utilize a two factor optimization model:
- Minimize cost
- Maximize on-time performance
4. Provide carrier routing and mode conversion recommendations:
- LTL/Small package conversions
- Multiple stop truckload versus LTL
- Utilize LTL versus Air
- End-to-end truckload combinations (continuous moves)
