Mastering LTL Freight with the Four Pillars of Profitability

LTL freight brokers, how many hats are you wearing today?

Chief Strategy Officer looking for ways to outpace the competition

Quality Control Manager tasked with avoiding costly errors

Operations Manager working to increase your team’s speed and capabilities

Customer Relationship Manager offering an extraordinary experience to customers

Chief Financial Officer pushing everyone to minimize costs and maximize margins

Chances are, your answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE, right?!?!? There’s no one task that is more important in the LTL process. Every single one contributes to your company’s scalability and profitability. It’s a matter of survival. 

After 20 years in the freight industry, Tai has identified four foundational pillars for creating a profitable LTL business.

The Four Pillars of Profitable LTL Freight Management Are:

Save Time with End-to-End Automation

Save Time with End-to-End Automation

What’s more important to shippers than money? Time! Digitizing your process from beginning to end is critical. Yet, not every TMS drives the entire load lifecycle from order to invoicing.

Avoid Errors and Rebills with Built-in Fail-Safes

The variability of LTL shipments often results in costly errors. Automated prompts and saved historical data can prevent mistakes and save you time, money, and customer relationships.

Deliver an Extraordinary Customer Experience from Quote to Invoice

With automation, potential errors or issues are flagged in real time, not weeks later, giving you the chance to update your customers and make it right.

Get Paid Faster with Frictionless Paperwork

Avoiding rebills is just the start. Automating the gathering, auditing, and invoicing process accelerates your cash flow, which is vital to your success.
