The Utilization Problem

Average trailer utilization in North American truckload shipping is approximately 70%. That means 30% of the trailer capacity you're paying for carries nothing but air. At an average TL cost of $2,000-$3,000 per shipment, that wasted space represents billions of dollars across the industry.

The causes are structural: - Order timing — orders arrive one at a time and must ship within a window - Weight-cube mismatch — some products weigh out (hit weight limit before filling the trailer) while others cube out (fill the space before hitting weight limit) - Delivery constraints — customer appointment windows limit how much you can consolidate - Organizational silos — different business units or product lines ship independently even when going to the same customer or region
