With frontline support materials like protective gear and cleaning supplies in high demand in recent months, less-than-truckload (LTL) has been an increasingly attractive solution for many manufacturers. It’s ideally suited for freight that needs to be shipped quickly, without having to wait for enough material to fill a full truck.
However, LTL shipments have historically posed many problems for stakeholders, due to the inherent complexity of multiple terminal stops and widely variable transit times for LTL freight. When “day of arrival” is the gold standard for shipments, it’s no wonder LTL shipments leave many customers dissatisfied.
Given the immediate needs of so many of today’s shippers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, FourKites has made it easier to gain visibility into these tricky loads.
