Welcome to 2021!
Kind of sad when we are hoping to see LTL carrier performance get back to the mid-'80s! But as long as COVID and its disruptions persist and the TL market remains tight we remain a broken record.

Short and not-so-sweet message this week. LTL carrier performance is BAD! We have been pointing this out for months now, but either much of our audience isn't reading this or is having difficulty understanding it so we are going to repeat the message again.

"Your carriers still suck and eta's on transit times are wrong!!" (Angry Face!).
There are 2 interesting charts below if you can get past the performance commentary (teaser).
Yep - we get it! This is a performance pandemic while we are living in a pandemic of hysteria. Fact is, while we see LTL carrier performance ticking up a bit, it remains well, well below historical norms so you continue to deal with more failures and upset customers. If it's any consolation - you're not alone. This is INDUSTRY-WIDE. When we see even the best of the regional carriers struggle, it's systemic.

When shipping LTL freight, you’ve likely run into this hypothetical, but common scenario:
A damaged shipment occurs, and it’s 100% the responsibility of the carrier.
The delivery receipt is signed as damaged, so all the right documentation is in order. A claim is filed with the carrier. The carrier takes upwards of a month to review and come to a decision.
