Optimization
If
you have shipments that use more than 35 feet of a trailer,
but they do not utilize the full weight or cube capacity
of a trailer, this option could be for you. Many types
of freight can be reconfigured at our service center
to reduce the amount of space they require on the trailer.
Some shipments might not need reconfiguration but can
be optimized by adding additional freight to the load.
If your shipments qualify you will save money while
helping to reduce the number of trucks on our roadways.
How
Does This Service Work?
If
your shipments qualify, we will pick up your shipments
and bring them to our service center for optimization.
If necessary, our professional freight handlers will
unload, reconfigure and reload your shipment to make
optimal use of the capacity of the trailer. If there
is at least 8 feet of trailer space, or at least 10,000
pounds of trailer capacity available for additional
freight, we will give you up to a 10% discount off of
the truckload rate and the fuel surcharge.
What
Type Of Products Is This Service Designed For?
Manufacturers
and distributors who have shipments comprised of multiple
products of varying sizes and shapes can usually take
advantage of reconfiguration. Often the manufacturing
process prohibits packaging products correctly for the
optimal utilization of the cube of a trailer. Shippers
of temperature controlled and blanket wrapped products
can take advantage of the available savings as well.
