Crack the Code: Predicting LTL Demand
The trucking industry experiences regular shifts in capacity, demand, and costs, which affect freight brokers, shippers, and carriers—especially when transitioning between Truckload and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) markets.
This white paper builds on industry research, providing actionable insights for shippers, including strategies to anticipate shifts in Less-than-truckload demand, optimize rate negotiations, enhance network planning, and improve overall operational efficiency.
This guide breaks down predictive strategies, explains the impact of critical trucking metrics, and offers recommendations to make decision-making easier. Shippers can use these insights to stay ahead of market changes, cut risks, and save money.

The New Rules of Carrier Procurement
Shippers today operate in an increasingly complex logistics environment, where securing reliable capacity for carriers while maintaining cost efficiency is a significant challenge.
Market volatility, rising freight rates, and capacity constraints necessitate a strategic, data-driven approach to carrier procurement and management.
Traditional transactional relationships with carriers no longer suffice. Instead, shippers are turning to the latest technology, including data analytics and strategic partnerships, to optimize their carrier relationships and ensure supply chain resilience.
Already, 86% of 3PLs are using advanced algorithms to compute optimal shipping routes.
This white paper explores the best practices for shippers seeking to optimize carrier procurement and build stronger, long-term partnerships using data-driven methodologies and technology-enabled platforms.
