The textile industry in North America is alive and well. That seems counter to the perception that all textiles have moved to foreign markets, particularly India and parts of Asia. From fabrics to medical textiles, these goods are heavily reliant on logistics, which means they’re also heavily reliant on LTL trucking companies . 3PL Providers and Their Importance to the Textile Industry The compound annual growth rate of the textile industry in North America is estimated to be 3.21 percent higher than forecasted for the period of 2019 through 2024. That’s good news for companies responsible for LTL freight shipping Canada, because they will be responsible for the ground transport of a great volume of those textiles. With such high demand, carrier availability will become an issue. That’s a primary reason why companies involved in the production of these textiles should be proactive and line up a reliable 3PL company that can coordinate the shipping of such a wide variety of prod...

Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany said it. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it. Responsible leaders of nations around the world receptive to medical facts are saying it: to mitigate the impact of the corona-virus a.k.a. Covid-19, it’s going to take a concerted effort of people in all industries working together and taking the proper precautionary steps. When it comes to keeping supply chains open, that means a global effort from international logistics companies . Mitigating Covid-19 Impact on Supply Chains Like any 3PL provider used to collaborating with partners, international freight companies like NATS Canada have to take proactive steps to deal with the rising crisis.

New demands from consumers and shippers across the continent continue to reshape the logistics industry. Evolving trends toward increasing use of third party logistics (3PL) companies are having profound effects on everyone from manufacturers to heavy haul trucking companies . Top Reasons for the Increasing Use Of 3PLs Proactive companies are always striving to find ways to better serve their customers. 3PL companies are becoming the standard partner for everyone from local independent shippers to huge Fortune 500 companies for many reasons. For starters, 3PLs essentially work as talent brokers, compiling a network of talented service providers – including heavy haul trucking companies – to ensure they are able to handle all types of requests. This ever-growing and evolving network of service providers gives 3PLs access to thousands of different trucks, each with their own unique load capabilities and service areas. This allows a 3PL closely aligned with heavy haul carriers Ont...

Successful 3PL logistics companies that outsource elements of their distribution, warehousing and fulfillment services appreciate speed, especially when it comes to flatbed trucking. Developing a network of reliable carriers who employ top-notch drivers allows 3PL companies to keep clients happy. When it comes to the speed of wireless technology used to carry out business, 5G is going to have dramatic impact on 3PL companies that utilize flatbed trucking companies in Ontario . Three Big Impacts of 5G on Logistics Despite fears about 5G technology given China’s goal of using it to become a global technology leader, there is probably no stopping 5G services becoming available to North American digital consumers. The wireless technology is apparently up to 100 times faster than standard use 4G technology, and that will have an enormous impact in our homes, our offices and on the road as it is incorporated into the tech systems of flatbed transport companies.

There is no doubt that supply chain management is going through a revolution. The shift in retail has led to a massive shift in distribution, warehousing and fulfillment services. The trend to integrating third party logistics (3PL) providers into company operations is happening faster than you can say flatbed trucking . Value-Added Services Will Separate the Good 3PL Companies There will always be a need for flatbed shipping companies. That’s as certain as American tariffs, trade wars and high fuels costs. However, there’s not a flatbed freight shipping company operating today that can possibly handle all their requests from customers. From expedited demands on fulfillment to the sheer massive volume of freight moving around the continent, a company would be hard-pressed to deliver all services at an accepted level of quality. The simple fact is, 3PL providers can specialize in integrated solutions of warehousing and transportation services that can be scaled up or down to mee...

Manufacturing steel is a vital industry to North American markets. It makes sense then that the steel industry relies heavily on the shipping and transportation of both its raw materials – things like coal and iron – and its end products. For manufacturers that rely on steel – industries like the auto and transport sector, construction, energy, packaging and appliance makers – the timely and economical transport of bulky oversized metal sheets, parts or final products is also required. A great deal of steel and metal cargo is moved by rail, ship or barge. Where concerns arise for both the steel company and the average commuter is when heavy lead loads are moved via flatbed trucking . Flatbed trucking companies operate in a challenging environment. They must share the road with millions of drivers who, by virtue of having a license and not by the depth of their driving ability, are allowed to operate vehicles alongside big rigs hauling heavy loads of steel.
