LTL Shipping: What Does LTL Stand for?

LTL Shipping: What Does LTL Stand for? Navigating the complex world of logistics can feel like learning a new language. From FCL (Full Container Load) to 3PL (Third-Party Logistics), the acronyms alone can be overwhelming, especially if you're new to the industry. One such term, often encountered and easily misunderstood, is LTL. First things first, LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. Essentially, LTL is a freight shipping method for relatively small loads. This means the cargo does not require the use of an entire trailer, which is typically the case for larger loads or FTL (Full Truckload) shipments. LTL shipping allows multiple shippers to share space on a single truck, splitting the cost, thus making it an affordable alternative for those who don't [...]

What is Reverse Logistics and How do we Contribute?

What is Reverse logistics? The full definition of reverse logistics, according to the CSCMP, is the process of implementing, controlling, and planning the cost-effective flow of finished goods, raw materials, and in-process inventory.  In the case of reverse logistics, the flow is upstream from the customer back to the manufacturer. Conventionally, things start at the manufacturer and flow downstream to the customer. When thinking of examples, try to define customer in the broadest sense. It could be the mom returning baby clothes back to Amazon due to size issues or a clothes manufacturer that misprints 10,000 shirts and needs to get rid of all of them. Either way, the items have now detoured from their normal downstream flow and headed into the reverse logistics [...]

How safe is your local Kansas City carrier?

Check your carrier's CSA Scores| We are a local Kansas city carrier with a good safety reputation As a shipper, other than picking a local Kansas Vity carrier based off adequate capacity and price, are you taking the time to investigate a carrier’s Compliance, Safety, and Accountability (CSA) scores? From my experience, this may not always be the case. Naturally, shippers are always looking to cut costs on transportation while maintaining the expectation that their goods will get to point A to point B with little trouble. This seems to be their main focal point and while understandable, checking a carrier's safety profile can also be useful. There are potential pitfalls that come along with a sloppy carrier vetting process. A shipper who handles [...]
