3 Surprising Freight Service Offerings You Need
You’ve been working with third-party logistics (3PL) providers or freight brokers for years now. Since the late 80s, 3PLs have helped manufacturers and distributors when capacity gets tight or when a shipper has a hot load that needed to be delivered yesterday. These aren’t real partnerships, but rather tactical relationships based on lane costs.
