Tire Tracks: Driving the Logistics Industry

Sometimes the best option for an LTL-sized shipment isn't LTL.  In episode 71 of Banyan Technology’s Tire Tracks® podcast, Ted McClain, Senior Vice President of Sales at Expedite All, explains how expedited freight gives Shippers and 3PLs another option when speed, handling, visibility or shipment risk matter.Ted explores when small Truckload and dedicated vehicles can make sense for high-value, fragile, time-sensitive and temperature-controlled freight. He also discusses how reducing cross-docking, transfers and co-loading can provide more direct service while limiting opportunities for damage, delays and misroutes.The conversation also looks at how technology is making expedited options easier to evaluate alongside traditional freight modes — helping teams consider the needs of the individual shipment rather than defaulting to a mode based solely on size or pallet count.Listen to learn why freight teams should look beyond pallet count and shipment size to determine the mode that best fits each move.Don't miss a minute!Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Expedite All: https://expediteall.com/Banyan Technology: https://banyantechnology.com/Banyan Technology on ‌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/banyan-technologyBanyan Technology on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/banyantechnologyBanyan Technology on X: https://x.com/BanyanTechListen to Tire Tracks on-demand: https://podcast.banyantechnology.comListen to Tire Tracks on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tire-tracks-driving-the-logistics-industry/id1651038809Listen to Tire Tracks on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Aiya6qVXFsiXbUAwMT7S7Watch this episode on-demand: https://banyantechnology.com/resource/expedited-freight-looking-beyond-traditional-modes-episode-71/
