Craig Lough Discusses When Box Trucks Make Sense for Shippers

Supply Chain 24/7 recently featured Craig Lough, director of strategic planning at A. Duie Pyle, on how box trucks can provide shippers with another option for freight that does not fit neatly into traditional Less-than-Truckload (LTL) or full truckload transportation.

As truckload capacity tightens and freight requirements become more complex, selecting the right transportation mode requires looking beyond weight and pallet count. Lough explores how factors such as shipment dimensions, freight value, handling exposure, delivery requirements and available capacity can influence the decision.

The article examines where box trucks may provide a more efficient fit, including shipments in the 6-to-12-pallet range, oversized or irregular freight, high-value shipments and deliveries requiring greater flexibility. Lough also discusses how box trucks can provide supplemental capacity when seasonal demand, equipment issues or other operational needs create temporary transportation gaps.
