LTL is an industry acronym that stands for “less-than-truckload”. LTL refers to those shipments that are, quite literally, less than a truckload. They do not need all the space provided in a standard truck trailer because of their size and/or weight.

Current macroeconomic developments make it clear that returning to a pre-COVID-19 “normal” is not in sight. Manufacturers are facing headwinds in the form of double-digit inflation, labour shortages and energy scarcity, along with new regulations that are driving an increasing imperative to reduce waste and emissions. These headwinds impose new constraints on operations, drive complexity and unveil hidden vulnerabilities, fundamentally changing the balance of supply and demand in the process. It is no surprise that global value chain failures are becoming more commonplace in such a challenging business environment
