How Mile Hi Express Helps Reduce Costs for Over-the-Road Carriers
Best Cost-Saving Refrigerated Trucking Services for Carriers
Over-the-road (OTR) carriers face several challenges, from high fuel costs to delays at retail warehouses. At Mile Hi Express, we specialize in LTL delivery services, cross-docking, and refrigerated frozen storage, all designed to reduce costs and increase efficiency for OTR carriers.
The Hidden Costs of Direct-to-Warehouse Delivery
Many OTR carriers lose valuable time and money delivering less-than-truckload (LTL) freight directly to retail and food service warehouses. These facilities often have long wait times, causing unnecessary delays and increasing labor and fuel costs.
With Mile Hi Express, OTR carriers can drop off LTL shipments at our Denver-based warehouse, where we consolidate and redeliver freight efficiently and cost-effectively.
The Benefits of Mile Hi Express for OTR Carriers
1. Reduced Dwell Time at Retail Warehouses
- Many retail warehouses have strict delivery windows, leading to long waits. Mile Hi Express eliminates this hassle by managing redelivery schedules efficiently.
- Carriers drop off their freight with us and move on to their next load faster.
2. Lower Fuel and Operational Costs
- Instead of making multiple stops across different warehouses, carriers can deliver all LTL shipments to one centralized location.
- Less idle time and fewer stops mean lower fuel expenses and reduced truck wear and tear.
3. Consolidated Shipments for Efficient Distribution
- Our team pools multiple purchase orders (POs) from different suppliers, creating efficient delivery schedules that benefit both carriers and retailers.
- This reduces the number of trips required to complete deliveries, saving costs for everyone involved.
4. Daily Status Updates & Transparency
- We provide daily reports, including appointment times, in/out timestamps, and OS&D (Over, Short & Damaged) reporting.
- Carriers always have full visibility into their shipments without needing to manage multiple retail warehouse systems.
