🚚 What is Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)? LTL shipping is a budget-friendly option for transporting small loads, typically between 150 and 15,000 pounds. By combining freight from multiple businesses, LTL carriers provide cost savings and efficient use of space. This service is ideal for businesses needing to frequently ship goods without waiting to fill a full truck. Benefits include reduced shipping costs, better inventory management, and access to a broader distribution network.

LTL industry readies for new freight classifications in 2025 "NMFTA’s changes create density-based rating system" The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) is simplifying its 90-year-old rating system for less-than-truckload freight to move towards a more density-based approach. The overhaul aims to make the system more user-friendly and reduce freight reclassifications, which often result in higher-than-expected costs for shippers. Updating and condensing commodity codes will ensure a shipment's actual characteristics are accounted for prior to pickup, producing more accurate freight rates upfront. The system will still rely on four primary transportation characteristics – density, handling, stowability, and liability – but the evaluation now targets density as the primary characteristic when there are no concerns with the other three. Density ratings have been expanded from 11 subprovisions to 13, with generic headings being consolidated. Freight with special handling, stowability, or liability concerns will have new symbols. The final docket for phase one (docket 2025-1) will be released on Jan. 30, with a public feedback period to follow. The changes will take effect on July 19. https://lnkd.in/g2Eusu3n

If you are in 3PL sales and carry an active book of business and your network is full of opportunities the most important questions you should be asking companies you are speaking to are: 1. Can you handle the freight that I have and that I hunt 2. What does your commission structure look like Once these 2 questions are answered you can start comparing the opportunities. #recruiting #sales #freight #logistics #3PL

A big question when it comes to buy new or used equipment, lease it or rent it. This video is a walk thru my journey as a 5PL warehouse owner now. Deciding between buying used equipment to shove off some money, but in the long run, is it good? what was the best option when I started this business? what are the pros and cons for a " Brand New" or " Used equipment".. Should I lease it out?? Those where my questions. I think We made the best decisions in regards this topic. -- Check it out on YouTube https://lnkd.in/gvKnTyde
