When managing your supply chain operations and logistics performance, it’s important to be aware of which carriers you are leveraging for fulfillment and the core strengths of their coverage. Often a single-threaded approach with one LTL carrier is not the best way to optimize your logistics costs.

Many shippers don’t truly understand the importance of an LTL rate base. If you use LTL to move your freight, it is critical to understand this information in order to minimize your costs and choose the carriers that best fit your business.
