Traditional LTL carriers operate utilizing a “hub-and-spoke” shipping network. Once your shipment is picked up, your cargo will be unloaded & reconsolidated on a new truck at several warehouses (hubs) en route to the destination terminal. The more times your shipment is handled, the higher risk of issues. Imagine taking a flight with 5 different layovers before reaching your destination–stressful right? While this network might suffice for non-fragile or non-time-sensitive shipments, there is a more efficient way to move your freight.
Alliance’s LTL network tackles this by loading your cargo on trucks headed directly to destination terminals. This means your cargo is handled less, significantly reducing the likelihood of issues and ensuring quicker delivery!
