The good news: most shippers can take 10\u201320% out of their road freight spend without adding a single day to transit.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Consolidate smaller orders<\/h2>\n<p>Three half-empty trucks cost far more than one full one. Batch orders by region and ship-date so pallets move together as a full or near-full load.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Be flexible on pickup windows<\/h2>\n<p>Carriers price tight, last-minute pickups at a premium. A 24-hour window lets us slot your freight into a route that is already running.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Use LTL for partial loads<\/h2>\n<p>Under ten pallets? Less-than-truckload shares trailer space with other shippers, so you pay only for the space you use.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Cut empty backhauls<\/h2>\n<p>We match your inbound and outbound lanes so trucks run loaded in both directions, and you share the saving.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Measure everything<\/h2>\n<p>Track cost per pallet, on-time rate and dwell time by lane. What gets measured gets negotiated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fuel, driver shortages and empty miles push trucking rates up every year.
