Selecting the right shipping provider is crucial for your import supply chain's success. Here are 5 things to consider: 1. Know your free days before demurrage charges start. 2. Assess how fast and far your product needs to move from the port. 3. Opt for transloading if traveling over 200-250 miles from the port. 4. Decide on the visibility level needed for in-transit freight. 5. Use a single provider for efficiency and prioritized freight handling.  Working with a comprehensive provider like Schneider: - Simplifies your supply chain management - Reduces touchpoints - Prioritizes your success This leads to cost savings and better customer focus.

Everyone always says the “cheapest option isn’t always the best” when it comes to truck rates. I agree, but I don’t see this phrase used as much in the freight tech side of the industry? I wonder how many brokerages are going to regret going “cheap” with tech especially when they market flips. You can get a tms, quoting software, tracking, vetting platforms. “ ai tools”, etc whatever else for “ cheap”. But are you actually going to recruit the best talent with below average tech? PS: I am extremely grateful HD Ships is extremely tech heavy for a company our size (50-60m), it makes recruiting a lot easier for me. Quite honestly not sure how other small agent programs compete without it. #tech #logistics #cost #trucking

A highlight from the article for shippers with dense freight: “Density ratings have been expanded from 11 subprovisions to 13, with generic headings being consolidated. Subprovision 11 will be amended to include densities ranging from 30 to less than 35 pounds per cubic foot (assigned class 60). Sub 12 would range from 35 to less than 50 pounds per cubic foot (class 55), and Sub 13 would cover densities greater than 50 pounds per cubic foot (class 50).”

Hi LinkedIn members! At TQL, we are continuously monitoring the ILA Strike along the East Coast Ports and working to provide as many solutions as possible.     As we continue to navigate the situation, we are able to offer Air Routing, Transload Capacity, West Coast Capacity, and immediate East Coast capacity when the ports reopen.    We would like to provide some tentative expectations:   1. Closed for a day: Expect delays for 2-3 days. 2. Closed for a week: Disruptions could last 2-3 months. 3. Closed for a month: The situation could become extremely unpredictable. 4. Ocean rates may increase for Europe-West Coast routes.   We cannot offer definite answers on when this will conclude, but we will be available to assist with your supply chain 24/7/365.
