Less-Than-Truckload

Less-Than-Truckload “LTL” bridges the gap between small parcel and full truckload. LTL is a viable mode whether your shipment is delivering to a business, a residence, or any other type of site, whether it has an unloading dock or not. LTL is optimized for palletized freight but can manage most cargo able to fit on a trailer. LTL can offer fast transits including overnight service as well as scheduled appointments at delivery.

Allow USC to book your LTL shipments, oversee the cargo from pick up to delivery, while communicating any discrepancies that arise in real-time. With your authority we will advocate on behalf of your business to resolve issues and minimize hassles while ensuring competitive rates. You will enjoy the convenience of one point of contact and one combined invoice for all your freight shipping.

• Leveraged buying power for improved pricing

• Preparation and transmittal of shipping documents

• Scheduling of shipping and receiving

• Shipping, receiving, and carrier details updated in real-time and stored in our TMS software

• Proactive tracking

• Freight bill audit

• Affordable supplemental shipment insurance is available upon request

• Consultation for your LTL questions

Our goal is to lead LTL shippers into a “Shipper of Choice” status. We will educate you on the importance of formulating clean shipping data. Once your data is accurate, carriers will accept your tenders with an invoice matching the quote.

Our specialized LTL team will collaborate with you to find the most efficient way to transport your goods, regardless of whether you have increased volume, seasonal demands, or special project needs.

GROUND EXPEDITE

Cargo Van, Sprinter Van, Straight Truck, Box Truck. Work with our team of logistics professionals to consolidate and determine which equipment type is best suited for your demand.

Choosing a Cargo or Sprinter Van not only allows you to fit into tighter docks and move small and/or time-sensitive requests about the country, but it is also an eco-friendlier solution. Cargo & Sprinter Vans consume less fuel and with models having increased efficiency packages can emit similar CO2 as passenger cars. The ECO start/stop function on models even shuts the engine down automatically when the van is stationary.
It is important to consider the environment and the air we breathe in everything we do.

If your shipment is critical or needs extra special attention, we have the resources and experience to get the job done right.

Intermodal

By combining truckload and railway transport, our intermodal freight solutions will allow you to keep things running smoothly and cost effective. Not typically the fastest transit option but is a greener approach. Intermodal trains can move one ton of freight 500 miles on a single gallon of gas >> using less fuel and emitting less CO2 than trucks.

We keep the environment, safety, and budget in mind for every shipment we manage.

Cross-Border

We take the time to learn your cross-border supply chain, then build capacity solutions with trusted providers to help execute it. Whether shipping northbound or southbound, USC leverages a dense North American carrier network to bring you capacity when and where you need it. We source the right carrier for each opportunity, facilitate the crossing logistics, and closely monitor your freight throughout the process. To build the capacity solutions required to execute cross-border shipments, USC will do a deep dive to evaluate your supply chain and find the best way to leverage our vast carrier network. 

Drop Trailer Service

Our managed drop trailer services are effective solutions for all parties associated. We have different service levels. A "drop trailer" is when a carrier brings a tractor to a loading dock and picks up a previously loaded trailer. A "drop and hook" is a step beyond drop trailer. In this scenario, a carrier will arrive with an empty trailer to drop, pick up a loaded trailer, and continue to the destination.

Drop trailer programs create a streamlined process across the board.
Allowing shippers to load trailers at their own pace gives our customers and their affiliates the ability to allocate resources most efficiently.
Due to Hours of Service “HOS” regulations, carriers must work to optimize their routes. Drivers often waste hours stuck in traffic or waiting at a scheduled stop for the freight to be loaded or unloaded. Carriers not having to meet strict live load/unload appointments results in an optimal route with minimial risk of service failure, flexible and achievable service timeframes.
For these reasons, this service is known to mutually reduce costs on common miles. 

Drop trailer programs avoid drivers from having to sit idle in docks emitting CO2 while being loaded/unloaded, reducing your carbon footprint as a company.

Shippers and carriers alike are always seeking ways to reduce wasted time and increase their productivity, in the eco-friendliest fashion. One of the best ways to do so is our Drop Trailer Service.
