5 Reasons Many Carriers Choose to Offer Volume LTL

September 29, 2021September 1, 2014 by Dean McNeely

To reduce price pressures and more importantly stay profitable, you need to keep those trailers full. That’s why so many carriers – both LTL and asset based – have begun offering volume LTL. For asset based carriers particularly, it makes a lot of sense. And these five reasons will show you why…

1. Get Paid to Move Assets

If you’ve got a lot trailers in Houston and need some in a different hub, why return empty? Or worse, why wait for a partial TL or full TL? Every minute your trailers wait in dock, well that’s money lost.

Offer volume LTL and leverage the demand for freight going to where you need trucks. A lot of businesses have less than a full TL, and may not want the hassle of getting a partial TL (it’s true, LTL is easy to book). So offer the volume LTL and you’ll have businesses paying you to move your trailers to the cities you need them in anyway. It’s a win-win.

And if you’ve never used it before, you may want to consider it for future shipments after seeing the 5 benefits customers who choose volume LTL enjoy.
