LEVERAGED PRICING
Working with Express Logistics, you can save an average of 15% to 20% off your freight costs. With thousands of loads per week, we are able to offer volume pricing and lane optimization. Within seconds, you can obtain pricing and transit time data from more than 30 of the top LTL carriers in the industry.

INBOUND LOGISTICS
Lower your inbound freight costs.

Companies with frequent shipments often look to outbound freight for cost reduction and service level improvements. But inbound freight offers equal—and sometimes greater—cost reduction opportunities.

Take advantage of our Freight Routing Program, and we’ll help you uncover new efficiencies that can lead to additional cost savings. By gaining access and understanding of your inbound deliveries, we can help you reduce costs, improve service, minimize delays, reduce confusion and raise overall performance.

Freight Routing Program

Control your inbound freight process without doing any of the work! Simply code your purchase order so that vendors call Express Logistics for routing instructions. Then we’ll pick the carrier based on agreed upon business rules, allowing you to benefit from carrier optimization and control costs.

We often see that companies don’t use the right type of carrier to ship freight. For example, if your vendor has been choosing a long haul carrier and your shipment could move with a regional carrier, chances are you have been paying a lot more for the shipment, and the transit time is longer. Our Freight Routing Program also eliminates inflated shipping and handling fees that companies often add. Take control of your inbound freight and this opportunity will no longer exist for vendors!

As less warehousing space and more “just in time” environments become commonplace, visibility is even more important. Express Logistics can provide real-time data to your purchasing and warehousing departments to create increased awareness regarding your inbound freight.

Q Do I need LTL or full truckload?

Great question and something our team of experts can help you determine. LTL is typically ideal for
freight shipments larger than parcel or small package, but short of the space required of a
full truckload shipments. However, other factors like distance and value may play into the decision.

Q What are the differences between FTL Services and LTL Services?

FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by
itself is considered Full Truckload. One of the main characteristic of an FTL Services is that it
will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring
the cargo.

LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL
shipment. It takes just a section of the truck and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments
that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
