The Strategic Value of LTL Trucking Services: reshaping the modern logistics economy
When you're shipping 1-6 palletized loads, choosing LTL over Full Truckload (FTL) delivers an immediate 40%-85% reduction in freight rates, and this pay-as-you-use-space model has resulted in hard cost savings averaging $3.2 million annually for mid-sized manufacturing companies (Journal of Commerce empirical data).
More critically, LTL transportation gives companies the power of resilience against supply chain risk. In the face of a 217% spike in peak freight rates due to seasonal demand fluctuations, LTL's resilient capacity allows you to move single pallet to 26 pallet (up to 10,000 lbs.).
