In society today, there is a large focus on weight. For many, the temptation of a pink box in the office can be cringing if you are trying to watch the pounds. Luckily in the logistics world it can be a good thing to be heavy – when it comes to containers. Although overweight containers are not allowed to travel across town, they have a home in the overweight corridor. A distribution plan that includes heavy containers and the overweight corridor can equal great savings.
Here are a few ways utilizing warehousing or transload services in the overweight corridor will ultimately give you the advantage.
Benefits of 3PL Services in the Overweight Corridor
