The Nationwide LTL Trick: How to Ship Freight Cross-Country Twice as Fast

Shipping nationwide LTL is challenging. Moving freight across the country comes with logistical hurdles, high costs, increased risks of cargo damage or theft due to frequent handling, and limited visibility into shipment locations. It’s enough to throw a wrench into even the most sophisticated supply chains.

We reveal how some savvy businesses are cutting transit times in half and reducing costs by 25% or more compared to traditional nationwide LTL, even on some of the most prominent lanes, like Los Angeles to New York. Here’s how the nationwide LTL trick works: A shipper can get a quote on Thursday, have their shipment picked up the same day, processed at a freight facility in Los Angeles on Friday, en route on Saturday, arrive at a New York facility on Sunday and out for delivery in New York on Monday.
