STRATEGIES FOR BEST PRACTICE LTL PARTNERSHIP

With a modest recovery in the LTL sector in place and constraint on the part of the carriers to hold capacity, what strategy do you have in place to control possible rate increases and protect your service needs moving forward?

In this article, Logistics Magazine has three industry experts sit down in a “best practices” round table discussion on strategies to deal with the changes that could lie ahead for all of us.

From our perspective, we would like to highlight the conversations around engaging a 3PL to manage these negotiations and to leverage multiple volumes, from multiple clients to contain cost increases while maintaining a solid LTL network to meet our customers growing needs. Our customers who have taken advantage of our online shipping portal, or our EDI services, have made themselves very attractive to LTL partners because we make it very easy to transact business on a daily basis.
