Dedicated Logistics Solution

What is Managed Transportation?

Managed Transportation is a service offered by third-party logistics providers that oversees carrier selection and the coordination of freight movements. Providers specialize in planning, routing, executing, and managing shipments to ensure freight moves efficiently and reliably. By outsourcing transportation management, shippers can focus on their core business priorities while benefitting from logistics experts who manage transportation strategies and technologies across a variety of industries.

Using advanced transportation management system (TMS) technology and strong carrier partnerships, managed transportation teams help streamline operations and improve supply chain performance. Services often include supply chain consulting, freight audit and payment, real-time shipment visibility, dock scheduling, and business intelligence reporting.
