| 摘要： | Ten years ago, the thought of handling e-commerce deliveries hardly excited less-than-truckload executives due to the cumbersome way that deliveries were made. "It wasn't terribly efficient. It was costly. It was time-consuming. And deliveries to private homes were even worse," says contributing editor John Schulz who has followed the LTL sector for LM for over 20 years.However, Amazon, Wayfair and a whole host of e-commerce behemoths changed the game. We've watched e-commerce quickly evolve, and we're happy to report the nation's leading LTL carriers have transform right along with it."Today, LTL carriers are doing lots of middle-mile deliveries to warehouses for those online giants," says Schulz. "And, as a result, they have become big, reliable customers to shrewd LTL carriers. It was business that was always there, but now LTL carriers are now managing it differently and pricing it smarter-a fact that has led to an economic revival of the LTL sector." |
