What Differentiates Frugal from Brokerages & Other Logistics Companies?
Its “Asset-Based Platform”.
Unlike brokerages and other logistics companies, FL operates on an Asset-Based Platform. What does that mean? It means that FL’s capacity in your company’s network is operationally identical to the capacity of an asset-based carrier. Like asset-based carriers, FL can drops trailers, and utilizes the same pool of equipment and drivers to move your loads. You award loads to FL, and we begin placing the required number of trailers you need.
Facilitates operational efficiency at the ship-site’s loading dock (i.e., the product is cross-docked, or comes off your production lines, and goes onto FL’s drop trailers until ready for pick-up). Our loads never become “staged freight” (sitting on the floor of the ship-site), and thus never create congestion at the dock door while you wait for our truck to show up for a ‘live load’.
Increases procurement efficiency (and lowers overall costs) by providing multi-modal capacity on its Asset-Based Platform. This allows our customers to buy more capacity across more modes of transportation from FL than any competing source. Thus, less time/money is spent on the various aspects of managing multiple carrier relationships. One relationship (FL) provides access to large quantities of capacity (either drop-trailer or live load, over-the-road) in the dryvan, temp-controlled, modes.
Achieves reliability numbers (e.g., on-time percentage, capacity commitment compliance percentage, EDI compliance, etc.) that exceed the customer’s expectations.
Offers a “capacity safety net” for our customers with ‘live load only’ operations. When brokerages and other logistics companies “cannot find a truck”, FL can grab one off of our Asset-Based Platform (just like an asset-based carrier).
