5 Ways to Maximize Your Freight Coverage & Secure Reliable Capacity
Every shipper knows the dreaded feeling: you have a critical shipment and your carrier fails to pick up, forcing you to choose between disappointing your customer or paying a premium for last-minute capacity.
To meet customer needs in today’s marketplace, you need access to consistent, reliable capacity.
From your customer’s perspective, you are only as reliable as your carriers — if they can’t deliver, your business can’t compete.
But for many businesses, securing capacity is easier said than done. According to our original research study, “sourcing consistent, reliable capacity” is a top three challenge for North American shippers.
That is not shocking; the truckload market is large and fragmented, which creates a lot of volatility. But you don't have to navigate it on your own.
Here are 5 ways you can get coverage and freight capacity you can count on with Coyote:
1. Expand your reach with +70,000 carriers.
