According to figures published by the American Trucking Association (ATA), there are over 400,000 for-hire trucking companies in the United States, and 97% of them operate fewer than 20 trucks. Despite all of these companies and equipment options, rising costs, increased regulations, driver turnover, and driver shortages result in thousands of trucking companies going out of business every year. That makes choosing the right option for your truckload shipping needs a complicated and daunting task. Here are five reasons why you should consider working with Logistics Plus for truckload solutions:
We have 20 years of experience and expertise managing truckload shipping for companies large and small. Our first customer was General Electric, one of the largest, most successful companies in the world. Today, we coordinate trucking across many different industries, including manufacturing, solar & energy, food & beverage, aviation, and more.
We provide world-class 24/7/365 customer service. There is a reason our company name is Logistics Plus: It’s because we put the “plus” in logistics by doing all of the extra big and little things you need to be successful. That includes equipping our logistics specialists with effective transportation management tools and providing them all with mobile phones so that they can remain accessible to our customers at all times.
We can source whatever equipment types you need. So whether you need dry vans, flatbeds, reefers, or step decks – we have all of the trucking equipment types covered. In fact, we even own many of our own trucks as part of our NTL (National Truckload) division. That allows us to provide both brokerage and dedicated truckload solutions.
We have pre-screened access to thousands of national, regional and expedited truckload carriers. That provides you with the peace-of-mind assurance that a reputable, reliable and safe carrier is hauling your goods. If you need added protection, we can also provide you with affordable additional insurance coverage.
We provide truckload solutions plus a whole lot more! That includes domestic air and ocean, rail and intermodal, LTL and expedited, cross-border and international … even drayage and port services. Working as your 3PL or 4PL partner, we can provide whatever level of managed transportation you need – across all modes and across all borders.
Don’t leave your truckload shipping to chance. Work with an award-winning industry leader … and let us put the “plus” in your truckload logistics.
