Reduce Costs on LTL Shipments – ONLY if TIME permits

The True Meaning Of Speed Vs Cost!

When it comes to shipping, faster isn’t always better; in many cases, a day or two longer transit is a non-factor. When the goal is to keep costs low while choosing a reliable professional company, Clear Lane’s LTL freight strategies are an excellent solution for your shipping needs.  Very often the savings using Clear Lane economy service justify the slightly longer transit time. This type of shipping encourages businesses to manage inventory while enhancing the balance sheet. About 71% of freight shipments ends up being moved on trucks. This is the most cost-effective way to get large shipments across the country. Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight shipping is commonly used by businesses when they want to transport shipments that do not take up an entire trailer. It’s still freight shipping, but you only pay for the portion of a trailer that your shipment occupies. The idea of LTL shipping is to save money and only pay for the space you use instead of paying for the whole truck. The transit will likely be longer, but less expensive than moving a small load individually, and often timing doesn’t matter quite so much. With the right planning, this longer transit time can actually be advantageous to companies who aren’t in a big rush to move shipments. When time is not of the essence, like planned and non-urgent shipments, Clear Lane’s LTL freight shipping is an ideal solution.
