LTL Shipping: Data-Driven Cost Savings

from The Daily News Now! Business

The LTL shipping landscape has evolved with precise data, leading to density-based classes and exact weight and dimension requirements. Shippers using outdated methods face re-rates on up to one in four loads, causing financial strain and delays. However, companies like Douglas Dynamics, Bestorq, KaTom, and ULINE have successfully reduced re-rates and shipping costs by implementing dimensioners, tracking systems, load pooling, and solid data. By focusing on accurate measurements, density calculations, and digital bills of lading, shippers can build trust with carriers and stabilize costs.
