Expanding Your Business with LTL

Diversifying your freight solutions is one of the smartest ways to grow your book, and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) is a key opportunity. Adding LTL to your solutions not only increases revenue potential, but also strengthens relationships with customers who need flexible shipping options.

Here’s how you can successfully integrate LTL into your business:

Sell LTL as a Value-Add for Customers

Position LTL as a solution that complements your existing truckload services. For example:

• Bridge Gaps: Offer LTL to cover smaller, inconsistent shipments between larger truckload moves.
• New Customers: Smaller businesses that can’t fill a full truckload often start with LTL—and grow into larger freight needs.
• Long-Term Relationships: Offering a full range of solutions makes you a one-stop shop for your customers’ freight needs.

Highlight the Value of LTL

LTL offers significant benefits that resonate with both new and existing customers. Educate your customers on how LTL can solve their challenges and save them money—position yourself as a problem-solver, not just a broker.

• Cost Savings: Shippers only pay for the space their freight occupies, making LTL more affordable.
• Flexibility: Ideal for smaller shipments, inconsistent volumes, or businesses expanding into new markets.
• Reliability: LTL carriers provide visibility, tracking, and consistent transit times, ensuring peace of mind.
