If Your Freight Could Speak, What Would It Say?

You don’t always need a new provider — sometimes you just need a new perspective.

Every shipment has something to say. Maybe it’s pointing out inefficiencies, highlighting risks, or suggesting a smarter route. The key is paying attention to the signals your freight is already sending.

“I could be closer to your customers if you rethought where I’m staged and fulfilled.”

“I’m costing you more than I should. Smarter distribution could reduce miles and spend.”

“My overseas origin feels risky—maybe it’s time to diversify sourcing closer to the U.S.”

When you take time to “listen,” your freight can reveal where you’re losing time, adding unnecessary costs, or missing opportunities to be closer to customers. By uncovering these insights, you can build a supply chain that runs faster, leaner, and smarter—end to end.

Sometimes, listening to freight changes everything.

Take KICKER, a leading audio brand. Their freight was telling them: “I could get to customers faster if I were staged closer to demand.” By shifting distribution to the East Coast and leveraging Averitt’s Charleston facility, they cut LTL miles by up to 75%, reduced transit times, and improved speed to market.

Sometimes, growth depends on getting every link in the chain connected.

That was the case for Spectra Gutter Systems, the nation’s largest manufacturer of gutter rainware products. Their freight was saying: “I need a single, streamlined path from port to customer — too many providers are slowing me down.”

By leveraging Averitt’s end-to-end network, Spectra consolidated import drayage, warehousing, and nationwide distribution under one roof. With inventory positioned closer to demand and specialized handling to protect delicate products, Spectra improved efficiency, cut down on damage, and ensured 98% on-time LTL performance across their branch network.
