Shippers Nationwide Find Traditional Freight Modes Inefficient and Costly

Inefficiency - Not Just the Labor Shortage - is Breaking Supply Chains

Delays, damage, and waste are inherent to less than truckload and truckload shipping modes, according to new data from Drive Research and Flock Freight.

In 2021, shippers across the U.S. reported:

• 100% of LTL shippers experienced late delivery
• LTL shippers spent an average of $411,239 on accessorials
• Almost 96% of LTL shippers reported delays of one to four days

51% of U.S. trucks aren't filled to capacity.

This research study reveals most truckloads move with empty space and are resource-inefficient. The same study shows 100% of LTL shippers experienced late deliveries in 2021.

Only 1 in 7 shippers were highly satisfied with their current shipping process for midsized freight.

In light of supply-chain disruptions and current market conditions, how can shippers mitigate the risks inherent to traditional modes, maximize efficiency, and cut costs? These findings indicate shippers need a better freight mode.
