Parcel vs. LTL routing
Consumer Goods Wholesaler
Billable weight inflation of 126% exposed
The challenge
Our client was struggling to determine when to move shipping volume from Parcel to Less-than-Truckload (LTL) and vice versa.
The action plan
7th Man Analytics illuminated the impact of both Dimensional Weight and Minimum Average Weight Per Piece on their CWT shipments, and determined that these two factors increased the client's billable weight by more than 126%.
The outcome
Our client used this insight to secure additional concessions from their parcel carrier and implemented more precise, cost-effective routing for LTL shipments. They finally had the transparency to accurately assign a Rate Per Hundredweight, which had been grossly understated by the carriers.
