It’s rare that a carrier hauling LTL shipments between freight terminals (linehaul) closes the trailer because it has reached maximum weight. With SMC³’s Cost Intelligence Systems, carriers will have the ability to determine true shipment level profitability that can be rolled up to any level to analyze existing or prospective freight and efficiently develop cost-based rates.

As weather-related events become more common, what are the chances that freight embargoes could disrupt a somewhat upbeat outlook?

As spot market rates decrease, carriers must prepare to reassess profitability on every lane. In a recent Truckload Carriers Association webinar, SMC³ joined TCA to explain the best cost accounting practices to determine which hauls are most efficient for your operations.

SMC³’s Emily Phillippi, data analyst, recently sat down to chat about her role, the importance of building strong relationships with customers and how she has helped customers overcome challenges. Get to know more about Emily in this behind-the-scenes interview.

Embargoes are common in less than truckload (LTL) shipping. This blog explains the purpose of LTL freight embargoes, who decides when they go into effect and why embargoes can actually help make the supply chain work more smoothly for shippers and carriers alike.

SMC³’s resident execution and visibility expert, product owner Phil Smith, is constantly collaborating with customers and prospects regarding SMC³’s execution and visibility APIs and how implementation can optimize the entire shipment lifecycle. Phil recently took time to discuss how he got started in the LTL industry, how businesses can benefit from SMC³ LTL APIs and other SMC³ solutions, and his current guilty pleasure.
