More Than a Freight Quote. A Better Way to Manage Shipping.
A competitive freight rate is only one part of an effective transportation strategy. Translogistics, Inc. (TLI) combines freight quoting technology with carrier sourcing, shipment visibility, and transportation expertise to help businesses manage their freight beyond the initial booking.
Through ViewPoint, TLI’s transportation management system (TMS), customers can access supported freight rates, book shipments, manage shipping documents, and monitor tracking updates. TLI’s operations team provides additional oversight by monitoring shipment exceptions and helping coordinate resolutions when issues arise.
For businesses shipping across multiple locations, carriers, or freight modes, TLI can also support broader managed transportation needs, including carrier contract management, transportation RFPs, inbound freight coordination, and freight cost analysis. Instead of managing each transportation challenge independently, shippers can work with one partner to improve visibility, control costs, and simplify day-to-day freight management.
Whether you need a single LTL quote or a more comprehensive transportation solution, TLI helps connect freight technology with the people and processes needed to keep shipments moving.

| FREIGHT SERVICE | BEST SUITED MODE OF TRANSPORTATION | WHAT TO CONSIDER |
|---|---|---|
| LTL freight | Smaller palletized shipments that share trailer space | Freight class, dimensions, weight, and accessorial requirements |
| Volume LTL | Larger LTL shipments that may qualify for a volume rate | Pallet count, total weight, linear feet, and carrier pricing |
| Load-to-ride | Shipments suited to a carrier’s consolidated, direct loading network | Available lanes, compatible freight, and transit requirements |
| Partial truckload | Shipments requiring more space than typical LTL but not a full trailer | Space requirements, handling, and available capacity |
| Full truckload (FTL) | Shipments requiring a dedicated trailer or the full available capacity | Equipment type, route, pickup schedule, and delivery requirements |
