Fortunately, there is a solution we’ve created that has always proven to be one of the best options in getting shipments to their destination on time and undamaged. For most other carriers, there is excessive handling involved, which increases the chance of damaging shipments. There are also numerous other nuances associated with LTL, such as tariffs that can make managing a shipment difficult for a shipper. Less than truckload (LTL) is an alternative strategy for shipping your goods, however this strategy can be very expensive since this can oftentimes cost as much (if not more) than a full truckload depending on the carrier. It’s difficult to exactly how much availability exists for full truckloads for the foreseeable future. Procuring a full truckload when you don’t need a full truckload of freight also contributes to tightening capacity, which has made load board prices skyrocket over the past few years. Companies will be forced to raise prices just to keep buying fuel if they wish to stay in business. While on the face, it would seem that hiring a carrier for a full truckload shipment is the best option for a lot of companies, there is the hidden cost of wasted fuel and at a time with record high fuel prices, this is a strategy with diminishing returns. Businesses will need to continue evaluating their shipping solutions to determine the best fit for them. Yet for all of these options, shippers will still have to navigate a field of fuel prices, individual carrier capacity and driver capacity. As rejection rates begin shifting in favor of shippers, these businesses will find themselves having a surplus of options when it comes to selecting their carrier of choice for future shipments.
