This playbook explores how partnering with a dedicated carrier can streamline freight delivery through a customized shipping strategy.
Over-the-road (OTR) freight shipping is the backbone of domestic supply chains, accounting for over 70% of freight in the U.S. How businesses ship their freight is evenly divided between private fleets and trucking companies. Each option has its pros and cons: A private fleet offers exclusive use of equipment and employees who are familiar with the company. But it also requires expertise outside of the core business. Trucking companies handle drivers and logistics, but during high demand, capacity and deliveries are less certain.
Dedicated carriers are a third option that provides the best of both.
