FAQ

Here are common questions that shippers may have about logistics:

What is Logistics

The process of planning, coordinating, and managing the movement of goods from origin to destination. It includes transportation, carrier selection, shipment tracking, and cost control across the supply chain.

What does a Logistics Company do?

They manages freight movement on behalf of shippers. This includes sourcing carriers, negotiating rates, scheduling shipments, monitoring delivery performance, and resolving issues that occur in transit.

What are Logistics Services?

These services include transportation management, freight brokerage, carrier sourcing, rate negotiation, shipment visibility, and logistics strategy planning. These services help shippers move freight efficiently and consistently.

What is the difference between logistics and supply chain management?

Logistics focuses on moving goods and managing transportation. Supply chain management is broader and includes sourcing, production, inventory, and logistics.

What is Freight Logistics?

The planning and movement of goods by truckload, LTL, intermodal, or specialized transportation. It covers carrier selection, routing, and shipment execution.

How does logistics management reduce shipping costs?

Logistics management reduces costs by optimizing carrier selection, consolidating freight, negotiating competitive rates, and avoiding service failures that lead to accessorial charges or delays.

What is Third-Party Logistics?

Third-party logistics, often called 3PL, is when a shipper outsources logistics functions to an external provider. A 3PL manages transportation, carriers, and other operations on the shipper’s behalf.

Is a freight broker the same as a logistics provider?

A freight broker focuses on booking shipments. A logistics provider offers broader support, including strategy, carrier performance management, visibility, and ongoing optimization.

What types of companies need logistics services?

Manufacturers, distributors, and growing shippers benefit from these services when freight volume increases, costs become unpredictable, or internal teams need additional support.

How do I know if my company needs logistics support?

If freight costs are rising, shipments lack visibility, or your team spends too much time managing carriers, support can improve efficiency and reduce risk.

What modes of transportation are included in Logistics?

Logistics can include truckload, LTL, expedited, temperature-controlled, flatbed, intermodal, and specialized freight depending on shipper needs.

How does TLI approach logistics differently?

TLI takes a shipper-first, non-asset based approach. These strategies are built around your freight network, service expectations, and cost goals, not locked-in capacity or rigid contracts
