How FTS Saves YOU Time & Money
Did you know?
Did you know that 96 of the Fortune 100 companies use a third-party logistics provider?
The fact that third-party logistics companies are a testament to the efficiency and effectiveness of their services. However, many moderately-sized companies wonder whether a 3PL is truly advantageous on a smaller scale. The reality is that 3PL services can benefit businesses of all sizes, and they are an excellent way for a company to take itself to the next level.
Why use a 3PL?
When you use a 3PL provider, you immediately gain their years of knowledge and ensure that your shipping policies and practices are the absolute best available.

We can improve by offering faster, less expensive shipping options, and simplified customization tailored to your needs. With the assistance of FTS, both you and your customers that you are receiving a continuously improving shipping platform, which benefits your bottom line.
FACT:
Businesses who use a third-party logistics (3PL) company can help reduce their
logistics/transportation costs by up to 10%. You may think, how is that possible? Below are several ways, but are not limited to, on how 3PLs can save money:
Negotiation:
FTS can negotiate volume discounts by combining shipping needs from multiple carriers to offer better shipping rates. LTL carriers know that 3PLs will continue to bring on new customers, therefore, the carriers will provide higher discounted tariffs to us versus to a business who is going to them directly.
Freight Discounts:
Similar to freight discounts, accessorial charges that may include fuel surcharges, limited access locations, and delivery liftgate fees are also negotiable to pass lower charges on to you.
Extensive Network:
3PLs have extensive carrier networks and the knowledge to know who is considered a “good/dependable” carrier versus a “poor/non-reliable” carrier.
Consistency:
3PLs reduce the rate of returns, claims and shipping errors.
Flexibility:
One of the biggest advantages of using a 3PL is their ability to provide companies like
yours with greater flexibility. By using FTS, our customers save time, money and
resources that would otherwise be devoted to managing these transportation operations
in-house.
