Plus, Here's the big difference between DSN's Direct Service v.s Common LTL Shipments

A typical LTL carrier moves your freight by cross-docking it through distribution facilities, frequently transferring it from truck to dock to truck until it arrives at your destination …several days later.

You can imagine the potential for loss or damage with so much handling!

There are several cross docks involved
There are several trucks involved
There are several drivers involved
There are several warehouse handlers involved

What are your customers going to say when their goods arrive damaged, late, or don’t arrive at all? Have you ever experienced a shipment "lost" in transit for a few days?



Customers like you have been asking
for a better way to move their LTL shipments.
There is a better way...





DSN’s Direct Service

Introduce yourself to a better way of shipping LTL by using DSN's network of established “Diamond Carriers” who frequently have empty backhauls from your shipper and returning back to your consignee. Because DSN can negotiate lower backhaul rates, your freight will move competitively and differently. DSN typically employs truckload carriers who have room for a few extra skids to make a full load. Because of this, your freight is never cross-docked. It is picked up and delivered with the same truck. This dramatically reduces the chance for error, loss or damage.... not to mention cost!
