The Mechanics of Freight Optimization: Modes and Costs
Freight transportation powers the global economy, but it’s a complex beast. Companies have a dizzying array of options, from trucks to trains, each with its own set of costs and benefits. How can your businesses tame this logistical monster and save money?
Picking the Perfect Mode: A High-Stakes Game
So how do you choose? Freight optimization software is one way. It factors costs, delivery times, and carrier reliability to pick the best mode for each shipment. For instance, platforms like MercuryGate don’t just look at individual shipments but at the big picture, optimizing routes and combining loads to squeeze out every bit of efficiency.
