Managed Freight Services for Manufacturers and Distributors Who Want to Save Time and Money
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect supply chains all over the world. Here in the US, the trucking industry has hit its stride, and many industry experts believe this historically strong trucking market will continue throughout 2021 and into 2022.
If you have freight to move, now is a great time to consider managed freight services. You’ve probably read about and been approached by larger 3PLs about their managed freight offerings but still aren’t sure managed freight is right for your company. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of just a few of the benefits you can reasonably expect with managed freight services.
What is managed freight?
Simply put, managed freight is a service in which a manufacturer or distributor like you works with a freight broker like AM Transport who manages the full spectrum of your day-to-day shipping needs. In short, we streamline your processes and help you save time and money.
And when freight rates are skyrocketing, it’s a great time to explore the benefits of managed freight services.
