The difference
Choosing the right shipping solution starts with understanding the difference between managed transportation and freight brokerage. TLI offers both, tailored to fit your needs. While both support the movement of goods, freight brokerage connects shippers with carriers for individual shipments, whereas managed transportation provides full-spectrum oversight of your transportation operations.
Freight Brokerage
A short-term strategy to source capacity for an individual shipment. involves quickly assessing available carriers based on the shipment's specific needs, such as route, timing, and load size.
Managed Logistics
A long-term strategy for managing your transportation program starts with evaluating your current needs, setting key performance metrics, and creating a plan that supports your business goals.
