The State of Freight Management

Shippers need to understand the problems arising within the industry, particularly increasing demand and strained capacity, as well as why tactical management holds the answer.

Throughout this white paper, we will take a closer look at tactical supply chain management, including:

• What defines tactical freight management
• The growing demand for LTL shipments
• The driving forces of changing demand for tactical freight management
• Trends in tactical freight processes
• The value of a partnering company for tactical advantages
• What modern tactical logistics partnerships look like

With advancing demands of consumers and the steady growth of e-commerce, shippers and carriers are working to build better relationships and optimize operations.

While that paints a dire picture, supply chain leaders have another option; they can turn to tactical freight management and develop responsive, adaptive processes.

Of course, tactical freight management is difficult at best, so let’s take a closer look at its challenges and opportunities.
