The Benefits of an Asset Free Transportation and Logistics Provider
No Conflict of Interest
Unlike dealing directly with a carrier, an asset free logistics provider doesn't have to factor into our decisions the cost of moving our equipment to your pickup location. Carriers are very concerned with empty miles and in many cases will not pick up your shipment unless they "have a truck in the area" or are "going that way next Tuesday". We've all experienced this when dealing with a carrier. In their defense, servicing your account is a business decision. A carrier factors in how much it will cost them to get to your pick up or delivery location from where their equipment is currently situated versus the revenue from the line haul. If it costs more in empty miles to pick up and deliver than the profit earned from the line haul, they will "not have a truck in the area". As an asset free logistics provider, we never have to make this decision. Our only interest is servicing our customer. If one carrier we contact doesn't have equipment in the area, we simply find one that does. This is the true benefit for using an asset free logistics provider - better service.
Unlimited Equipment Availability
Unlike dealing directly with a carrier we never run out of trucks! Even a large carrier is limited by the number of trucks he has. Once the last truck is full.... no more orders. At DSN we access a large network of carriers. We will find a truck for you. The benefit is a higher coverage ratio for your shipments. That means trucks when you need them.
The Right Carrier at the Right Time
Does your carrier often tell you they've "got a dry van in the area, but not a reefer" Or, "we've got a 48' even though you need a 53' trailer" Or, "not until next Tuesday" At DSN we access our wide network of carriers to find your the right equipment at the right time. Getting shipments off your dock and off to your customers, makes happy customers and increases your company's revenue.
Our Technology is Designed for You, Not for trucks
Our computer systems are designed to track and trace your orders and make sure they are picked up and delivered on time with the right carrier that has the right equipment. Unlike a carrier's system that is designed to minimize empty miles, fill space on a truck, manage fuel prices, etc. Our technological focus is on getting our customers the information they need. DSN has full web integration with on line order entry, track and trace, as well as dashboard management reporting. Ask your sales rep for details.
