Shipping option
LTL shipping is used for small freight or when the items don't require the use of an entire trailer. Your freight is combined with other shipments to fill an entire trailer. It is ideal for shipments under 15,000 pounds.
Full truckload is used when shippers have enough items to fill an entire truck or they want their shipment in a trailer all by itself.

Choosing the Best Transportation Management System for Your Business (Cont.)

Assess Your Needs

It’s important that you take a long, hard look at your shipping operations before you even begin shopping around for a Transportation Management System. Ask the following questions to get a better idea of what a new system needs to accomplish in order to be successful for your organization:

  • How does shipping fit into your overall supply chain management operations?
  • How many loads are you shipping?
  • How many locations are you shipping from?
  • What kind of integration with other supply chain systems will be necessary?
  • What are the main challenges you’re facing in transportation currently?
  • How could a TMS solve some or all of your shipping problems?
  • What are your goals for a TMS?

Really zoom in on your organizations’ goals. Maybe you want simplified processes, less room for error, better insight into your current processes, or maybe you want to be able to plug and play new associates and have them able to effectively use the system. Maybe ROI is your most important goal so that stakeholders will be appeased at the expenditure.

Get Educated on Transportation Management Systems

Start with some basic research on the available systems on the market. What can they do? Do they do what you would need them to do? Check out the available features and determine whether you can purchase piecemeal from a complete TMS so that you’re only paying for what you need or if you’d have to buy the entire system. See which systems will effective integrate with your
One way to get an idea of whether a TMS will work for your company is to check out reviews and testimonials. These reviews are a great way to gauge the effectiveness of integration, customer service offered, and the user-friendliness of a system.

Get Some Quotes

The last step before you choose a TMS is to get a few quotes from systems that you’ve already determined will likely be effective for your organization. Be sure you ask any and all questions that you may have.

10 Transportation Logistics FAQs

Transport logistics is the planning, execution, and management of moving goods from origin to destination efficiently and cost-effectively. It includes freight booking, carrier selection, routing, monitoring, and performance tracking. BlueGrace uses transport logistics expertise and technology to optimize supply chains for businesses of all sizes.

Key components include freight planning, carrier management, shipment tracking, route optimization, and delivery execution. BlueGrace helps organizations integrate these components through data-driven solutions and supply chain visibility tools to improve efficiency.

Common modes include truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), intermodal, air, and ocean freight. BlueGrace supports clients across these modes, helping select the best transport option based on cost, speed, and service requirements.

LTL (less-than-truckload) consolidates freight from multiple shippers into one truck, ideal for smaller shipments. FTL (full truckload) dedicates an entire trailer to one shipper’s freight, suitable for large or time-sensitive loads. BlueGrace assists businesses in choosing between LTL and FTL based on shipment size and budget.

Technology enhances visibility, automation, and decision-making through shipment tracking, analytics, and transportation management systems. BlueGrace uses advanced logistics technology to help businesses monitor performance, track freight in real time, and identify cost savings opportunities.

Freight can be tracked through carrier tracking numbers, GPS tools, or logistics platforms that aggregate real-time data. BlueGrace provides transport visibility tools that give customers up-to-date information on shipment location and status throughout the transport process.

Common challenges include rising freight costs, capacity constraints, visibility gaps, and freight damage. BlueGrace addresses these challenges through expert logistics management, data insights, and technology to improve outcomes.

Multimodal transport logistics involves moving freight using more than one mode of transportation — for example, ocean and truck — under a single shipment order. BlueGrace assists businesses in planning and executing multimodal transport to balance cost and transit time.

Small businesses can optimize transport logistics by analyzing shipment data, consolidating loads, leveraging carrier partnerships, and using transport technology. BlueGrace offers scalable logistics solutions that help small businesses gain expert support and better outcomes.

Important performance metrics include on-time delivery rates, freight cost per mile, transit time variance, shipment accuracy, and carrier performance. BlueGrace provides analytics and reporting to help businesses measure these KPIs and improve logistics performance over time.
