Our deep experience in LTL allows us to navigate the complex world of LTL rating. Understanding what drives pricing is key. If your freight is odd shaped, cannot be stacked or you are shipping more LTL trailer space than you should, mistakes can be extremely costly.
Competitive Pricing
GTS has contracts with most of the national LTL carriers and rating tools to assure shippers get the best pricing for their shipments.
Claims Mitigation And Management
With LTL shipping often come damage and shortage claims. At GTS we understand that the cheapest carrier is not always the best choice. We monitor carrier claims and stay away from claims prone companies. Our staff processes all claims in house and provides shippers with status updates weekly.
Spot Quotations
Our analysts will evaluate your network and your goods to assure you get the maximum benefit from shipping LTL. Often times it is more cost efficient to ship a load of more than 20’ of trailer space by truckload which provides less handling, higher cargo insurance coverage’s and exclusive trailer usage.
Experience
LTL Carriers want dense, stackable freight that is not prone to damage since the way LTL carriers make money is by maxing out the capacity of each trailer with shipper’s orders. If your freight interferes with this goal you will be exposed to little known or expected accessorial charges that are hidden in the carrier’s tariff rules.
Enterprise LTL accounts are provided weekly summary invoicing and quarterly reviews to help pinpoint areas in need of improvement. Our freight audit and pay feature assures your costs are what they should be and allows you to see opportunity to use other carriers that may have lower costs.
Whether one pallet or your entire LTL shipping network, GTS can handle your most challenging shipments.
